This is KGW news. At sunrise,
she told me that someone was trying
to kill her and someone stole her car
and all this other stuff. So I
was like, OK, well, hold on a second. A Camus
family recounting what happened when
a kidnapping victim showed
up on their doorstep.
We'll have the full story coming up.
And imagine walking down
the beach and seeing this huge guy
12 feet of thresher shark alive
on the sand in Long Beach, WA.
That'll make you stay out of the water.
What happened to this 300 pound shark
that made it a learning opportunity plus.
That is a live picture, by the way. Amazing.
And it is 5:00 o'clock in the morning
on the first day of school for the kids
out there at Oregon City High School,
the home of The Pioneers.
And that's where Devin Haskins and Sunrise
photographer Eric Patterson are hanging out.
So there you go,
back to school today for several.
Kids all across the state of Oregon. Yes,
we wanna say welcome
back to Lincoln
County schools. Oregon Trail, Newburgh.
All kinds of schools today are
going back, including Centennial
and Forest Grove in Mcminnville.
Lots of coming to Tuesday. Yes.
Good morning to you, Rodney.
I knew that yesterday was one of the hotter
ones. But today even hot. No, no, no.
Yesterday was nice. Yeah.
What you doing? Where'd you go?
Just just just roll with me here.
It's only like Amy. Thank you. 82
yesterday. I thought it was spectacular.
Outside, hey, today we're gonna
jump up 10 degrees to about 9261.
Is the temperature outside right now?
Here comes that back to school?
First day, as we mentioned for some of you,
about 58 degrees out the door,
77 at noon and then we'll
get up to about 90 degrees.
Haven't done that in a while.
We'll do it again this afternoon,
but the humidity levels should be
fairly low and that's your forecast.
We start this morning with just a terrifying
moment for our Clark County family.
A kidnapping victim showed up at
their home pleading for help.
She told them she'd been carjacked,
she'd been kidnapped,
and then she somehow escaped.
This all happened early Saturday
morning in Camas. KGW Catherine Cook had
a chance to talk to the family yesterday.
She ignored the front door and came in here.
It was 4:30 Saturday morning.
That's when Jamie Woods says a
stranger came on to his property
and woke his whole family.
They live on NE 28th
Street near 242nd in Camas.
Woods says the woman started
banging on their back door
long enough for my dog to go crazy like that.
I was scared because I thought someone
was like breaking in and like robbing us.
I mean, she was desperate to
get in, which I can understand,
Wood says. He opened the door just
enough for the woman to speak.
She told me that.
Someone was trying to kill her
and someone stole her car and all
this other stuff, so I was like,
OK, well hold on a second.
Woods called 911 and
walked the woman outside.
We didn't know exactly
what he was walking into.
Police say the woman told them
she'd been carjacked near Mill
Plain and grand in Vancouver.
She says the suspect asked her for water,
which she provided.
Then she let him get in her car.
That's when she says he held her
at knifepoint and forced her
to give him control of the car.
She says several miles later on a dirt Rd.
On campus, she jumped out of
the moving car and escaped.
She was all all dirty,
barefoot, no shoes. With
deputies on the way, Woods took this
cell phone video of the woman for safety.
You can hear her recounting what happened.
Thought he was going to
kill me. So I jumped out.
The only thing I can think of is like,
maybe he was bringing her
out here to kill her.
Dumper raper. Who knows?
I'm just thankful that she got
out of the vehicle and got here to
someone that was willing to call the
authorities and help her regardless of
her attempting to break into the house.
I'm pretty proud of him for how
he reacted with the situation.
Woods is just relieved.
We didn't know if she was, you know,
crazy or she was actually telling
the truth. But come to find out,
the whole story was completely. True.
And then, less than an hour after
all of that, deputies spotted the
suspect driving the victim's car.
That led to a 10 minute chase.
Deputies and Vancouver police pinned
in the car and arrested the suspect,
who at least so far has
refused to identify himself.
This morning, he is in the Clark
County jail on multiple charges,
including robbery and kidnapping.
The man accused of murdering a mother
of six and his former partner will
be in court at 9:30 this morning.
Mohammed Adan is charged with murdering
Rachel Abraham, who you see here.
She was found dead at her home in Southeast
Portland August 27th, records show.
Her former partner at Dawn has a
history of abuse against Rachel and
was arrested multiple times for it,
the most recent July 26th in mid August,
just one day after a bail hearing.
The nonprofit group Portland
Freedom Fund posted his bail,
setting a dawn free.
Seven days later, Rachel was killed.
We talked to Margaret Carter about this case.
Carter was the first black woman to serve
in the Oregon Legislature for 22 years,
and she's known for her advocacy.
She says Oregon lawmakers need
to take another look at the rules
involving bail and make it harder
for domestic abusers to get out.
The one thing we know in terms
of data is that if a person is a
violator of the rights of women,
domestic violence, we know if they
say they're going to kill you,
they're going to try everything they
can to get to you in order to kill you,
because it's a matter of power.
This is not about love,
not love or nothing of that.
This is about power and control,
and that's exactly what
created this heinous crime.
This young man must have
had a lot of insecurities.
Himself to and she's tiny
to be able to kill somebody
in such a dastardly way.
So Carter
also had a close relationship with Rachel.
She told us she considered
her part of the family.
We also talked to her about the Portland
Freedom Fund's history and her take
on Oregon's current bail system,
which lawmakers changed this year.
You can find that interview and our coverage
of this case on our kW YouTube channel.
And if you or someone you know is
a victim of domestic violence and
you're not sure where to turn,
call the national violence domestic
violence hotline at one 807 nine 972.
33 or just text the word.
Start to 88788. That hotline is 24/7.
Now to the latest on the deadly plane
crash that happened over the weekend
near Whidbey Island, north of Seattle.
We're learning more about the 10
people who died in Sunday's crash.
So the woman we're showing you right
here on the right, is Sandy Williams.
She was a civil rights activist
based in Spokane.
She was on vacation celebrating her birthday.
And on the left there is Ross Andrew Michael.
He was also on board.
Plane with his family.
He owned Ross Andrew wineries in
Woodinville and this is part of a
statement from his family, it reads.
We are deeply saddened and beyond
devastated at the loss of our beloved Ross,
Michael, Lauren, Hilti,
Remy and their unborn baby Luca.
Our collective grief is unimaginable.
They were a bright and shining light in
the lives of everyone who knew them.
Although their time with us was too short,
we will carry their legacy forward.
The body of 1 passenger was found on Sunday,
but the Coast Guard called off the search
for the other nine yesterday afternoon.
The names of all 10 victims are expected
to be released later this morning.
Here are some of the other headlines that
we're tracking for you this morning.
The City of Longview declared A-150
person homeless camp a public health
emergency and is now clearing the site.
The camp is on city owned property
off Alabama St people have been
allowed to camp there for years,
but now Longview is moving them
to a city owned parking lot.
It's not clear how long they can stay,
but the city says it does want to
contain campers to just one location.
KGW did reach out for clarification,
but we haven't heard back quite yet.
Police say a man died in seaside
after falling out of his kayak.
They got a call around 11:00
o'clock yesterday morning about
an empty kayak floating offshore.
Witnesses say the man was in a
group of other paddlers but somehow
got separated from his kayak.
His body was later recovered.
Police say the man was in his 50s and was
wearing a wet suit but no life jacket.
And take a look at this.
It is a thresher shark that
washed ashore in Long Beach.
On Friday,
it's a big 112 feet long,
weighing more than £300.
The seaside Aquarium says the shark
was still alive when staff got there,
but died a short time later.
Experts are now dissecting the shark
and they invited the public to watch,
calling it a learning opportunity.
The examination should give them clues about
why the shark washed ashore in the 1st place.
And those are some of your
Tuesday morning headlines.
Yeah,
that.
This
is about 12
feet of shark. Like that
is not a small boy. They're on the same
no scary sharks defense. If I were
12 feet long, I would wait three.
OK, it is back to school today and
back to work after a long holiday
weekend and and back to the heat
a little bit. Not unusual of course
to see 90s especially the first
you know 10 days or so September.
But we've had our fair share of them.
Yeah yeah alright.
The warning map a lot of this is actually
for goes into effect tonight and tomorrow.
The red flag warnings which include
you folks in sweet home down through
Willamette Pass area in red again
this starts at 6:00 PM tonight
goes through the day tomorrow.
This lighter color.
Will be a red flag warning for
Wednesday from the Dallas outline.
The Pendleton, now the heat advisory.
That's today and that's tomorrow.
This includes Ontario,
John Day, Baker City, burns.
All of you folks have a chance to be
right back up to around 100 degrees.
So the hot weather is returning just for a
day, though, this time here on the West side,
and then we'll cool back down.
We don't have any weather active,
if you will.
Meaning no weather fronts,
no rain chance anywhere.
No storm threat today out east either.
It is a comfortable morning.
Hillsborough, 49.
Degrees, how about that?
Hmm.
You know, one thing you like about
September is that typically,
even if you get hot,
relative humidity factors are
lower than they would be,
say, in June,
July or August.
And today this cool start kind
of shows you 52 and Kaiser that
the dew points are relatively
low in the 40s right now.
In fact,
the relative humidity factors would
be no higher than about 25% this
afternoon with that N to Northeast wind
and the temperatures getting up into the 90s,
you know, when we were really hot in July,
for example.
Instead of dew points in the 40s with dew
points in the 60s and they're out to you.
Many factor was nearing 40% of times
early afternoon so nothing like that.
48 in Newport 52.
In Eugene 56.
These are current numbers.
Adam Pelton the forecast numbers today.
Now with all that said you will
feel the temperature in the sun
back up to about 93 in Salem.
Mcminnville,
Corvallis.
Also expected to touch 90 degrees.
It will be a clear start for
all of us including you folks
at the Coast Longview 87 today
but battleground likely hits 90
Vancouver 92 that NE wind direction.
Produce some breezy E winds to about
25 out in the Columbia River Gorge today,
and perhaps this afternoon you folks
in Gresham will notice the wind
starting to bounce a little bit.
Alright, seven day is still #1 dry.
Hmm.
#2.
After we hit 92 today,
we go back down to 84 tomorrow,
81 on Thursday,
but then we're right back up
to 90s on Friday and Saturday
and that is your forecast.
All right, Rob, thank you so much.
Let's get ready to party and
do a little learning as well,
because today is the first day
of school for a lot of students,
including Oregon City High School.
They have their whole marching band,
the cheer team, up early with us.
This morning we're gonna
be talking to some seniors,
reflecting on their final year in high
school that's coming up next on sunrise.
