based. we've got booms, for the southern end of the incident and they are still trying to determine how -- how far north you can get. >> reporter: and we're looking at videos of this that was shot earlier today of some of the u.s. coast guard votes in -- boats in the water, trying to contain that situation. what is now happening in the general area with the u.s. coast guard and the other crews here? >> well, it is dark right now, but we are working with the coast guard and we are also working with the department of the environment and the director out here who has contacted the state of maryland right now. >> reporter: and at this point, still a lot of questions. we don't know what this is and where it came from. >> we don't know what the source is. we are hoping to determine that tomorrow morning. we don't know what it is, but we do know that it is petroleum based. >> reporter: all right, any words of advice for the people in this general area? >> well, to be at ease and just let us do our work. we will determine what it is and let the public know as soon as we know. >> reporter: all right, we

europeans working as life guards for the summer. >> this man has a very specific memo that he is going for. he is approaching women that are going to work, or you know going to work at the pool and he comes up from behind them grabbing their breasts. >> oh gosh, you know, it's scary. it is just creepy. >> reporter: police say that the attacks started in june, the most recent case was last tuesday. and they say that if you are walking along here, stay alert, avoid texting or talking on your cell phones, even listening to music. so if you have your car stolen in dc, why do parking enforcement officers keep putting tickets on it when it ends up parked in the street and another part of town? well, we talked to a northeast man who dealt with $300 worth of tickets on his stolen car. he wants to know why dc cops and ticket riders don't seem to be talking to each other. >> i got my car stolen about, well, a month and a half ago.

>> reporter: he ended up parked in the no parking zone in front of the school out here getting $300 worth of price -- parking tickets. there's not a way to put that on television. >> excuse me, no one seems to give a care out there but me. i went up there several times to look at it and the trunk was open. i called the police. police said that it would be towed away soon. >> reporter: it wasn't. when they phoned the owner on

saturday, saying that they found the car in front of the school, he had to pay to have it towed to a repair shop, upset that ticket riders and cops don't communicate better. >> you will have a lot of expenses here and a headache to get off of work and all this other garbage that you really shouldn't have to deal with because you know, these to parties should be talking to each other to recover stolen cars. this is designed to protect them from being the potential target or involved in the case in any way, which means that the parking officer will continue to give citations for as long as the vehicle is parked illegally as they normally would. here is how he describes this event. >> she has lost that. she is a female monster that lives on this block. >> reporter: wow. if you can document the theft with the police report and break hands, then the tickets

will be exponged. we wanted to ask you more about parking enforcement officers and police communications about stolen cars, but they could not provide someone on short notice to do that. >> gary, thank you. and news on the case of robyn gardner missing in aruba today. the man suspected in her disappearance, he is 50-year- old gary gary. >> and to keep him in custody for a period of time. >> the dc homicide detectives are investigating the death of the 91-year-old georgetown woman. her body was found on friday in her home. despite her age, the autopsy did not suggest that she died from natural causes.

so far no arrests and police are not calling her husband a suspect or even a person of interest in the case. and the court records do show a history of trouble in the home. but we spoke to neighbors who had different takes on the matter. i witnessed at least several three or four incidents when the police had come for some sort of domestic disturbance. >> i have never heard anything going out there, except for the occasional parties, that is very controlled. >> and tonight, no comment from her address. relatives have asked for privacy. a laundry list of traffic violations managed to get a job. and that is the question for you tonight. after a passenger died while riding in his van this morning. he was behind the wheel when the super shuttle crashed on the eastbound lanes of the dulles airport access road. and the victim died after getting thrown from the van after it crashed into a jersey wall. two other people on board, they also got hurt, but hoffman, he

weather is coming and advising them on how and where to seek shelter, but no mandatory evacuations would have been given. the indiana state fair officials have not said whether or not the stage and the rigging were inspected prior to saturday's show. this weekend's stage collapse has local fair organizers making sure that they stay on top of safety. they know when severe weather might be headed for the area. no need to wonder anymore when president obama will kick off his reelection campaign for all intense purposes, it's on. today, he took direct aim at the presidential candidates after launching a three-day bus tour through the midwest.

that shuts down your life. ruining relationships with family and friends. now imagine talking to one specialist after another one hits another and nothing helps. those are the type of patients that are being rescued by tms, essentially zapping depression out of the brain. >> the smile on his face says it all. that's his passion and he's gotten back his zest for the game and life in general thanks to this. >> reporter: david turney is the first in northern virginia to offer tms. he says that the small magnetic coil on the scalp targets a part of the cortex that controls mood. no anesthesia, just about 40 minutes of this. >> the first couple of days was

something that you needed to adjust to. but after a couple of days, i really enjoyed it. >> i enjoyed it because he said this is the first therapy that has been able to dent the depression that plagued him for more than 10 years. he eventually suffered a nervous breakdown. >> and i have been down-right dramatic, seeing improvements in people for many years that simply was stuck and they were unable to get going, despite the use of our advanced medication. and that is the thing that tipped all of the system out here and saw what was a recovery. it helped tremendously. i cannot see into the future.

>> all right, cost and time commitment. each session runs about $400. he says that it cost so much because of the disposable pads and other parts of the device. to really get that reprogrammed 20 to 30 sessions are recommended. and insurance may or may not cover this substantial cost. they described this as life changing and in some cases, life saving. >> well, an 11-year-old made an incredible hockey shop. but he might keep the cash. here is what happened. last thursday during half time at the hockey game, the arena pulled the game of nick smith to make the shot. a little boy ran out, down to the ice, took a swing, and then the unbelievable happened. it was going straight down the net and this thing has a chance.

the crowd is going nuts. there's only one problem. it was not little nick that made the amazing shot. it was the identical twin brother, nate. he said he was outside when they called his name, so he just stepped in his place. and now the prize money is in the hands of the insurance carrier on the $50,000 shot. come on now, really? >> yes, the same dna. >> i think that they should give it to him. it's not my money though. >> yes, that's true. >> speaking of money and winning things, go to our facebook page and like us. you need to like us and you can also see how to win a $50 gas card topping off. >> yes, just let me have it. >> i really can't. they are watching very carefully. all right, we have showers and thunderstorms tonight. and maybe a shower tomorrow, and then they will be drying out, especially dry out on wednesday. now, we'll start with temperatures. pretty nice after the high of 86. and the temperatures are very manageable. 76 downtown, but 70 in gaithersburg and leesburg and
