HER
HER FIGHT
HER FIGHT KAHNERT NEWS8 STARTS NOW FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS IS BACK BUT YOU WON'T BE SEEING FANS AT
MOST OF TONIGHT'S GAMES. GOOD
EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US. I'M CARLO CHIQUITO.
AND I'M CAROL LIN IN FOR
BARBARA LEE EDWARDS. AS LOCAL
FOOTBALL TEAMS GEAR UP TO PLAY
THEIR FIRST GAMES IN OVER A
YEAR. TONIGHT PARENTS AT
SCRIPPS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL ARE
FIGHTING FOR A CHANCE TO BE
ABLE TO WATCH THOSE GAMES IN
PERSON NEWS8. SHANNON HANDY HAS
MORE ON THE CURRENT RULES IN
PLACE AND WHY SOME SAN DIEGO
UNIFIED DISTRICT SOME SAY THE
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED DISTRICT
RATHER IS GOING OVERBOARD.
CARRIE AND CARLOS SCRIPPS RANCH
WILL PLAY MIRAMAR SAID ARRIVAL
TONIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK ON
THIS FIELD. SO WHILE PLAYERS
ARE BEING ALLOWED BACK, FANS
ARE NOT. INSTEAD THEY'LL HAVE
TO WATCH FROM WAY UP HERE OFF
PROPERTY. IT'S FANTASTIC THAT
THEY'RE FINALLY GETTING AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN
OPPORTUNITY. BRIAN STONEY'S,
SON OF VARSITY LINEBACKER FOR
SCRIPPS RANCH CAN'T WAIT FOR
STONEY IS EXCITED AS WELL YET
DISAPPOINTED AFTER LEARNING THE
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT WON'T ALLOW FANS
INCLUDING FAMILY INSIDE THE
STADIUM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
IS THEY'RE AFRAID OF WHY THEY
WON'T LET US DO THIS. THE
AMERICAN FEELS THE SAME WAY.
HER SON IS ALSO A LINEBACKER ON
THE TEAM. WE WALK THROUGH THE
GROCERY STORE, WE GO TO RETAIL
OUTLETS, WE SIT OUTSIDE AT
RESTAURANTS AMONG STRANGERS. SO
WHY WOULDN'T THE DISTRICT ALLOW
PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ARE ON
THE FIELD TO SIT SIX FEET APART
FROM EACH OTHER BOTH STONY
AMERICAN SAY THEY EXPECTED TO
BE ABLE TO WATCH YOUR KIDS PLAY
IN PERSON BASED ON GUIDELINES
PUT OUT BY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. IN
PART THEY READ LIMITED
OBSERVATION OF YOUTH SPORTS IS
ALLOWED TO A MEDIA HOUSEHOLD
MEMBERS AND FOR THE STRICT
PURPOSE OF AGE APPROPRIATE
SUPERVISION. THIS INCLUDES
OBSERVATION OF PRACTICE AND
COMPETITION. DURING THIS WEEK
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED OR SCHMEDING
SUPERINTENDENT CINDY MARTIN
SUGGESTED THE BOARD REVIEW
THOSE GUIDELINES AND WORK TO
UPDATE ITS OWN BY NEXT WEEK SO
THAT OUR FAMILIES CAN TAKE PART
IN THIS IMPORTANT PART OF HIGH
SCHOOL LIFE. ANTONIA MERRIGAN
AREN'T HOLDING THEIR BREATH
SAYING AT THAT SAME MEETING
PARENTS HARDLY GOT A CHANCE TO
SPEAK ON THE MATTER. THEY TOLD
US THEY WOULD GIVE US EACH
THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK WHEN THE
TIME FINALLY CAME AFTER FIVE
HOURS THEY GAVE US EACH ONE
MINUTE JUST THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NEXT. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL
CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR
THEMSELVES AND OTHER FAMILIES
AND OTHER PARENTS SUBMITTED
THIS BLUEPRINT SHOWING HOW THEY
COULD ATTEND GAMES BY SITTING
IN PODS ALMOST SIX FEET APART.
WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO SIT AT A
PICNIC TABLE UNDERNEATH A TENT
IN A PARKING LOT, EAT AT A
RESTAURANT. SO I THINK WE CAN
SIT ON A CEMENT BENCH IN AN
OPEN AIR FOOTBALL STADIUM AND
BE SAFE. I WANT TO SEE MY CHILD
PLAY AND I WILL KEEP PUSHING
AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES NOW
THERE IS AN OPTION TO WATCH
TONIGHT'S GAME VIA A LIVE FEED
AND KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A
DISTRICT BY DISTRICT DECISION.
SO IN SWEETWATER FOR EXAMPLE,
NO FANS ARE BEING ALLOWED BUT
NEXT DOOR OVER POWAY UNIFIED
THEY ARE SANDIEGORED COUNTY IS
EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE
STATE'S LESS RESTRICTIVE RED
TIER ONTUESDAY WITH THAT CHANGE
TAKING EFFECT ON WEDNESDAY.
TODAY THE STATE REACHED ITS
GOAL OF ADMINISTERING TWO
MILLION COVID-19 VACCINES TO
LOW INCOME HARD HIT COMMUNITIES
BECAUSE OF THAT, COUNTIES CAN
NOW HAVE A CASE RATE OF TEN PER
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE IN
ORDER TO MOVE OUT OF THE PURPLE
TIER. THE RED TIER WILL ALLOW
FOR INDOOR DINING AT TWENTY
FIVE PERCENT CAPACITY GYMS AT
TEN PERCENT CAPACITY AND MOVIE
THEATERS AT TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT. TODAY WE GOT TO LOOK
INSIDE ONE OF SAN DIEGO UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAMPUSES AS
THE DISTRICT GETS READY TO
BRING STUDENTS BACK TO
CLASSROOMS ONE MONTH FROM TODAY
THE DISTRICT GAVE A TOUR
OF HOOVER HIGH SCHOOL IN CITY
HEIGHTS THIS MORNING. THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF NEW SAFETY FEATURES
PROTOCALS INCLUDING UPGRADED
VENTILATION AND AIRFLOW METERS
IN CLASSROOMS. WE HAVE A
GENERATION OF SAN DIEGO FANS
WHO WHEN WE HAVE ASKED OVER AND
OVER AGAIN ARE YOU WILLING TO
MAKE FINANCIAL SACRIFICE FOR
THE SAKE OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE?
THEY'VE SAID YES AGAIN AND
AGAIN AND AGAIN MASKS WILL BE
REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES AND
EVERYONE WILL BE TESTED FOR
COVD EVERY TWO WEEKS. STUDENTS
ARE SCHEDULED TO RETURN TO
CLASS ON APRIL 12 STARTING
TOMORROW. BREWERY'S WINERIERS
AND DISTILLIERS WILL BE ABLE TO
OPEN FOR BUSINESS WITHOUT
HAVING TO SERVE FOOD UNDER THE
NEW RULES, CUSTOMERS MUST MAKE
RESERVATIONS. PATRONS CAN ONLY
STAY FOR 90 MINUTES AT A TIME

MOUNTAINS ON TOP OF THE FOOT OR
MORE. WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED

OF HER ESTATE AS NEWS8 DAVID
GOTFREDSON REPORTS, THE COURT
PETITION TARGETS THE MAN
CLAIMING TO BE ABRAMS FIANCE AS
WELL AS ANOTHER WOMAN WHO BOTH
HAVE BEEN MANAGING THE
PROPERTIES OF THE CHILDREN ARE
ACTUALLY GOING TO THAT EXTENT.
THE SON AND DAUGHTER OF ABRAMS,
A FORMER LA HOYA MILLIONAIRE
WHO MYSTERIOUSLY WENT MISSING
IN JUNE FROM A RANCH NEAR
IDLEWILD ARE NOW TAKING ACTION
IN COURT. THE PETITION FILED
THIS WEEK SEEKS REMOVAL OF THE
TWO CURRENT TRUSTEES OF THE
ESTATE KEITH HARPER AND DIANA
FEDDER. BUT FEDDERAT TELLS
NEWS8 THE MISSING WOMAN DIDN'T
WANT HER ADULT CHILDREN
INVOLVED IN HER PROPERTIES
PROMUS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER
PEOPLE THAT THE CHILDREN WOULD
NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE HOME
BECAUSE THE FIRST THING THAT
WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE WAS GONE
THAT THEY WOULD COME IN AND
TAKE EVERYTHING THE MAN
CURRENTLY RUNNING THE RANCH,
KEITH HARPER, CLAIMS TO BE A
RAMS FIANCE AND HE CO MANAGES
THE RANCH WITH FEDDER HARPER
WAS THE LAST PERSON TO SEE
ABRAMS ON THE DAY SHE WENT
MISSING AND HE HAS FILED POWER
OF ATTORNEY OVER THE ESTATE
CARCHARIAS POWER OF ATTORNEY OR
NOT I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE
DECISIONS ON THE SECONDARY IF
HE HAS REMOVED THE PETITION
FILED BY CLINTON AND CRISARA
ABRAMS ALLEGES THE RIVERSIDE
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS
INVESTIGATING MR. HARPER AS A
POTENTIAL PERPETRATOR OF THE
CRIME OR CRIMES THAT LED TO
ABRAMS DISAPPEARANCE AND THAT
MISS FEDDERAT MR. HARPER HAVE
BEEN ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THEIR
RELATIONSHIP. THAT IS
COMPLETELY FALSE ALLEGATION. I
ONLY MET HER TWICE AND I HAVE
NOT SPOKEN TO HIM AGAIN UNTIL I
WAS TOLD OF HER DISAPPEARANCE
AND I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE
INVOLVED WITH HOPNER IN THAT
ONE. HE IS AT LEAST TWENTY FIVE
YEARS MY SENIOR AND WE CANNOT
EVEN CONSIDER FRIENDS. THE
PETITION ALSO SAYS MORTGAGE
PAYMENTS ARE IN DEFAULT ON THE
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN ACRE
BONITA VISTA RANCH WHERE ABRAMS
LIVED AND THE ABRAMS FAMILY
ALLEGES HARPER HAS NOT PROVIDED
ANY ACCOUNTING OF THE ASSETS
QUOTE ABRAMS HAD NEARLY TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
SOME JEWELRY IN A SAFE DEPOSIT
BOX. SHE ALSO OWNED MANY
VALUABLE GUNS. ANY AUTHORITY
MR. HARPER HAS TO ACCESS THESE
AND OTHER ASSETS SHOULD BE
SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY. WHAT'S
YOUR OPINION OF HARPER AND WHAT
DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT HIS
POSSIBLE INVOLVEMENT IN THE
DISAPPEARANCE? I DON'T KNOW
HARPER. AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED. I'M NOT RULING
ANYTHING OUT. I DO NOT RULE OUT
I DO NOT RULE HER CHILDREN OUT
.KEITH HARPER DID NOT RESPOND
TO MESSAGES SEEKING COMMENT FOR
THIS REPORT IN THE PETITION,
ABRAMS CHILDREN ARE ASKING A
JUDGE TO APPOINT A INDEPENDENT
PROFESSIONAL FIDUCIARY TO
OVERSEE THE ESTATE CARLA. THIS
IS ANOTHER LAYER TO THIS WHOLE
MYSTERY AND DISAPPEARANCE ABOUT
THE POLICE INVESTIGATION INTO
ABRAMS DISAPPEARANCE. DO WE
HAVE ANY UPDATE RIGHT NOW ON
THE SEARCH FOR HER? NO, NO
UPDATES. WE REACHED OUT TO
RIVERSIDE, SHERRIF DEPARTMENT
AND ASK WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
THEIR MISSING PERSONS CASE AND
THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO OUR
MESSAGES. THE COURT HEARING ON
THIS PROBATE PETITION FILED BY
THE ABRAMS
