Now, Gary Waddell, George Knapp, Eric Randall, and Dave Fox.
Southern Nevada's first choice for news.
This is Eyewitness News 8.
Good evening.
Southern Nevada police officers have discovered three bodies in two days.
All three are thought to have been murdered.
This afternoon, the body of a white female in her late 50s
was found in an apartment at 1923 Stanford Avenue in North Las Vegas.
The woman had apparently been strangled and had been dead about 24 hours.
Police went to the apartment after receiving a tip from Boulder City authorities
who arrested a man driving the dead woman's vehicle.
47-year-old Fred Tuggle, arrested on stolen vehicle charges,
is thought to be the prime suspect in the killing.
Earlier today, the nude body of another woman believed to have been in her mid-20s
was discovered off Eastlake Mead on the far side of Sunrise Mountain.
A man who was doing some target shooting found the decomposing remains.
There were no outward signs of trauma, but the woman had obviously been dumped there.
An orange bedspread was wrapped around her legs.
Police were able to lift a single fingerprint from the scene.
And the county coroner's office is still trying to identify another body
found in the desert yesterday off North Highland Drive.
A hiker spotted the remains, which had been in the desert for several days.
The body was so badly decomposed that medical examiners
were unable to determine race, age, or cause of death.
They're now using dental charts for identification purposes.
One of two brothers charged with the fatal shooting of Sammy Curtis Jones,
whose body was found in a dumpster on the west side last December 28th,
pleaded guilty in the case today.
19-year-old Desmond Palmer pleaded guilty to accessory charges in that killing.
He'll be sentenced next month.
His brother, who is also 19, Milton Palmer, has been charged with murder.
He was to have appeared for arraignment today, but the hearing was delayed till Friday,
so his attorney could be present.
Authorities say the killing was apparently drug-related.
A federal court jury here is considering the fate of two men accused
in the check-kiting scheme that led to the collapse in 1983 of the Mineral Bank.
California oilman Jack Urich and former Mineral Bank officer Richard Fenner
are accused of conspiring with the late Joe Augusto
to write overdraft checks from bank to bank
that artificially inflated the accounts of the two men.
Four other people charged in connection with the scam have already pleaded guilty.
Another is doing time in a Mexican jail for a different crime.
Urich and Fenner contend that they were duped by Augusto
and that they didn't do anything wrong.
The sheriff's jeep posse has been reborn.
The posse was disbanded last month when members vehemently objected
to new rules of conduct being imposed by Metro.
Tonight, the sheriff's posse was reincarnated as the constable's posse.
Members were sworn in as deputy constables,
and although they may no longer perform any emergency searches or rescues,
they still intend to serve.
Kathy Vincent has the story.
Right hands and feet after me, I, the station name,
do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend.
The newly formed Clark County jeep posse is about to embark on a whole new career.
Although these 15 men are trained emergency medical technicians,
their new roles will include serving civil papers for justice court
and other community services.
We can help some old folks drive around.
They'll be doing the races, the off-road races.
We'll be doing the control out there, all of it off the road, of course,
because they're not traffic officers.
The sheriff's jeep posse was a group of volunteers who, with their own equipment,
helped rescue stranded hikers and others in need of emergency medical care.
The group was disbanded last month after a disagreement
with Metro officials concerning regulations.
Clark County Constable Don Charlebois says he decided the posse was too valuable to lose,
so he arranged to have the men deputized.
The men say they will remain ready to respond to any emergency
if the sheriff should ask for their help,
and if not, they'll be happy doing whatever job is given to them.
It looks like the waves are going to start to smooth out,
and we're going to get back into doing some enjoyable things again.
Members of the jeep posse say they have feelings toward Metro
and want to serve the community any way they can.
Kathy Vincent, Eyewitness News 8.
A legislative committee voted in favor today of a bill
that would stop the incorporation of East Las Vegas.
Committee members say the proposal would give the legislature more time
to study the whole incorporation question,
but citizens of East Las Vegas feel like they're being singled out.
The bill would halt the creation of a new city in East Las Vegas,
but would not affect similar efforts in other parts of the state.
The supporters of incorporation say that even if the bill
is signed into law by the governor,
they intend to fight on in the state Supreme Court.
We'll ignore the bill, because at the same time,
we will be appealing it to the state Supreme Court,
and we know it's going to be overturned.
Incidentally, several of the legislators told me,
even Paul May admitted it in committee.
He says, well, if we pass this,
I'm sure he's going to take it to the Supreme Court, and when.
But it's just a question of will they take it to the Supreme Court.
They even admitted a lot of the things they pass or unconstitutional,
but if they go unchallenged, so what?
Pelham is hopeful that Governor Bryan might veto the bill
if it is passed by the legislature.
The whole thing could be made moot this Friday,
when District Judge Myron Leavitt is expected to rule
on the validity of the original incorporation petition.
Three people were injured tonight when a small plane
made an emergency landing on a car in San Diego during rush hour.
All three of the injured were on the ground.
The first hurt was in the car that got hit.
The other two suffered minor injuries in the accidents
that occurred after the plane hit the ground.
The pilot of the plane, who wasn't hurt,
was doing touch-and-go practice landings at a nearby airport
when the plane lost power.
The pilot says he couldn't find any place to set the plane down,
except crowded Balboa Avenue.
Hundreds of volunteers have joined the search for five skiers
apparently buried by an avalanche,
and the Colorado Rockies will have the latest next.
And support is growing for a national move to guarantee parents
leave when their children are born or get sick.
We'll preview the measure that goes to Capitol Hill tomorrow.

Red Searchers will take to the hill at the Colorado Ski Resort
of Breckenridge at dawn tomorrow,
looking for survivors of an avalanche there today.
Tons of snow a half-mile wide came crashing down,
burying as many as six skiers.
One body was found this afternoon.
Hope for the other victims is dimming tonight.
National Forest Land, where the avalanche occurred,
was not patrolled, but skiing was allowed.
No avalanche warnings were posted.
Summit County Sheriff's Department officers say walls of snow,
some 20 to 30 feet deep, came thundering down the mountainside.
Local school teachers say the reason they inflated achievement test scores
is because of pressure from the district to produce.
As eyewitness news reported last night,
test scores at 14 local elementary schools were inflated by teachers
who gave special prompting and preparation to students.
Most teachers we contacted didn't want to talk about it on camera.
Others admitted that some of their colleagues
may have gone too far with the tests.
I would guess that there's a possibility
that either the time limit wasn't checked thoroughly,
instructions weren't given correctly, or other.
Other being, other may have been some reason
that a person felt like they had to doctor the tests.
I don't know.
The district is confident that it can put a stop to test score inflation.
The reason all of this is important is that kids may end up being placed
where they don't belong, and administrators may get the wrong reading
on the value of special learning programs.
School trustees will vote tomorrow on a redistricting plan
that could affect 5,000 local students.
The district is trying to balance enrollment by reshuffling thousands of kids,
mostly elementary students.
These are the schools expected to be involved in the changes.
Letters have been mailed to parents of students who may be affected,
and public comment on the plan is invited.
The big switch has been made necessary by the explosive growth
of the local student population.
The school board will also consider whether to make certain schools
into year-round operations.
Hearings begin in Washington tomorrow on a bill that would guarantee leave
for workers for the birth of a child, the adoption of a child,
or an illness of a family member.
Parents' rights organizations say it's about time the U.S. caught up
with the rest of the industrialized world on the issue.
Patricia Sagan reports from Washington.
When her baby is born, will she still have her job?
A congressional study says two-thirds of the women in the workforce
can't take maternity leave and still have a job to return to.
Janice Turner knows what that feels like all too well when she was pregnant
with her daughter, Africa, four years ago.
Her employer, a savings and loan, told her essentially,
your baby or your job.
No leave despite a policy manual to the contrary.
Her supervisor suggested she have an abortion, and she almost did.
I was emotionally drained because I don't believe in abortions.
Although she needed the salary, she quit and found other banks
wouldn't hire her because she was seen as a troublemaker.
You can't believe it's true.
You just feel like the floor has been knocked out from underneath you,
and I would cry a lot because I didn't know what to do.
Her case is on appeal, and her former employer refuses to comment.
A bill pending in Congress now would come too late to help Turner,
but it would help future parents.
It would require companies to guarantee up to 18 weeks of unpaid leave
and a job after that.
It would allow any mother and father to care for a newborn,
an adopted child, or an ailing parent.
And I just think that families are stressing out under the conditions
we're putting there, and we really need a law to protect them.
Representative Pat Schroeder, the bill's sponsor, is getting stiff opposition
from business, big firms, and small.
They want to keep Uncle Sam from, as they see it, meddling
and requiring a benefit that's too expensive for some firms.
It has to be done on an individual company basis,
and that's why this bill is flawed.
They don't want the government telling them exactly what to do.
If this bill did pass, it would be one more obstacle
to competitiveness on a global economy.
Every country that's knocking our socks off in trade
has been doing this for a long time.
The bill's sponsors say business will never require parental leave
unless they have to, and that is why they want to make it a federal law.
This is Patricia Sagan in Washington.
Snow has been reported tonight up on Mount Charleston.

Clouds down here, snow up in the mountains.
Yeah, Mother Nature's full of little surprises.
Actually, skies have been clearing out, and most of the clouds are gone,
but the stuff is still hanging around the higher elevations,
dumping a little of the white stuff up at Mount Charleston.
They have about an inch on the ground at the lodge,
or not at the lodge level, but at the fire station level.
And alas, reports still had a few flurries up that way,
but the clouds will continue to disappear a couple of weeks from now.
They will continue to disappear a couple of nice sunny days.
In store high in Las Vegas today,
after it turned out to be quite a few winds out there,
managed the same as yesterday, a high of 61.
The overnight low, 36,
kept us a smidge below the normal high and low for today.
Pollution index this afternoon was in the good category.
The count was 29 in 11 o'clock.
It is now 49 degrees humidity, 40 percent at McCarran.
The barometer, 29.99, in rising winds from the north
at 20 gusting to 29 miles per hour.
Downtown Las Vegas and Spring Valley, 49 degrees,
51 for North Las Vegas, 53 at Charleston Heights, 25.
And of course, snowing up at Kyle Canyon.
Paradise Valley in Henderson, 50 degrees, 46 for Boulder City, 48.
Over in Sunrise Mander in high temperatures,
suffered a little bit around parts of Nevada today.
Ely stated a cool high of 37 while Tonopah at 43.
50 for Caliente, 54 at Mercury.
Perup fell a few to 62 degrees.
Laughlin down one to a high of 67.
And all those clouds that were around Nevada earlier this evening
have been disappearing.
Clear skies over much of the Silver State right now.
A high pressure system is building back into the northwest,
but along with the expansion of that high,
the low pressure system we've been talking about over the past few days
has been developing over the southwest.
And the clockwise flow around the high,
counterclockwise flow around the low,
combining to produce a northerly flow across Nevada,
which is pulling some colder air into the Silver State.
Really didn't have much effect on our weather today,
but temperatures have been down across much of the rest of Nevada.
And also the pressure gradient or the area of pressure difference
between these two systems also continues to generate
some strong northerly winds into the Las Vegas area this evening.
Winds will continue to be gusty tomorrow
up to 30 miles per hour at times.
But along with those winds, the clouds are gone
and look forward to mostly sunny skies tomorrow.
The winds should start to decrease a little bit tomorrow night,
but the sunny skies will continue into Friday.
Temperatures cooler tomorrow, back up a few degrees,
then again on Friday.
Only in the weather, I guess.
The forecast calling for tonight, fair and breezy,
blows around 40 degrees.
Winds from the north at 10 to 25 miles per hour.
And then tomorrow, mostly sunny but a little windy out there.
Highs in the mid-50s.
Winds from the north at 20 to 30 miles per hour.
Kicking up a little dust at times.
Long range calls for mostly sunny skies then Friday and Saturday.
Highs in the upper 50s.
Partly cloudy or increased clouds I should say on Sunday.
Highs in the mid-50s.
Chance for showers then moving in on Monday.
Highs around 52 degrees.

Yeah, we'll be giving away.
Channel 8 has got together a few of these Tark masks, about 20,000 of them.
And we'll give you one.
So it's like Channel 8 night exclusively.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
Channel 8 night.
So it's like Channel 8 night exclusively at this game.
No, it's not Channel 8 night exclusively.
It's McDonald's night.
That's right.
That's right.
The hamburgers, too.
Anyway, the Tark faces will be given away one week from tomorrow night.
It's at the Rebels against Pacific.
It's the last game of this season.
Seniors night at the Thomas & Max Center, and it's also McDonald's night.
Tomorrow the Rebels are at Cal Long Beach.
Now, 30 points was the margin of victory when the Rebels hosted the 49ers last month.
Niners last month and we'll have a live report on that game tomorrow at six o'clock on eyewitness
news.
Now being number one has been a boon not only to the Rebels but to some businesses as well.
Jerry Lennon reports that Rebel Mania is reaping financial benefits for some.
This is alpha beta or on second thought maybe it's not, perhaps it's rebel beta.
Businesses everywhere in Las Vegas are wrapping themselves in scarlet and gray for pride and
profit.
It's been doing just fantastic.
People have been coming in for the Tark the Shark, the t-shirts, sweatshirts, everything.
If it says UNLV on it they're buying it up.
At McDonald's we have just one question for the coach.
One of the more clever uses of the Rebels for advertising is by McDonald's.
The man we're supposed to believe is Jerry Tarkanian trades his towel in for a Big Mac
and a large Coca-Cola.
Come on, go for it coach.
Not to be slammed, dunked by McDonald's, Burger King has a rebel advertising strategy
of its own, buy a 32 ounce soft drink and a running Rebel cup is included.
Yep, burger businesses agree, basketball is big business.
We asked Jerry to give us the top two names on his most valuable players list.
Nissan, just Nissan.
At Las Vegas, Nissan hopes the Rebels keep it in cruise control through the NCAA playoffs.
Not to be outdone by a foreign import, friendly Ford on the cater wants you to know that they
too love the running Rebels.
In order for a vehicle to sit in this showroom floor it must be one of two colors.
You'll never guess which two.
It's like being in a Thomas and Mac arena.
So it's not hurting business at all.
It's not hurting business.
And in most any direction you turn Las Vegas businesses want you to know that the Rebels
are their team.
Reason enough, they hope that you would want to purchase their products.
What remains to be seen is what will happen if the Rebels make it to the final four.
Who knows?
Maybe these arches will suddenly change from gold to gray.
Jerry Olinan, Eyewitness Sports 8.
And don't forget now, we'll wait for him tomorrow.
Shadow Lake giving away the Tark faces because it is McDonald's night.
Okay, top 20 scorers tonight.
North Carolina, look what they did to East Kentucky State.
How did they schedule these guys?
A 53 point victory.
Iowa by just two over Ohio State.

Clemson by 16, Alabama by 21, Texas Christian by 16, Oklahoma by 24.
And here's an upset.
Tennessee by 10 over 17th ranked Florida.
Another magical night for EJ the DJ, Magic Johnson, who seems to be carrying the bulk
of the Laker load lately, tossed in 37 points at McNichols Arena.
The Thompson twins not doing too bad either.
That's Billy Thompson with the dunk, came out of Louisville.
And then the Lakers just traded for Michael Thompson and he's definitely proven that he's
worth the deal.
Look at Magic, he's throwing the big hook right here, two of his 37.
He also had 16 assists for the Lakers late in the game.
A nice shot by Karimas, Denver was starting to make a run and he scores and is fouled.
And the Lakers go on to the victory, 128 to 122.
Milwaukee beat the Jazz in Utah by four.
And in that game, Terry Cummings had 35 points.
The Bucks trying to do a little running and here he comes with a stuff on Thorough Bailey
and Daryl Griffith, the victory to Milwaukee, Indiana by 17 over Seattle.
Seattle is still losing.
They're seventh in a row.
They haven't won since the All-Star game, Boston a winner, Cleveland and Philadelphia.
Now what is next Thursday night?
I think it's channel eight night at the Rebel game with the Tarkfaces.
That's it.
Tarkfaces.
Yep.
McDonald's.

Problem with moving fish is you've got to move so much water with them.
That was the dilemma that faced the folks at the Marine Land Aquatic Park in Rancho
Palos Verdes near Los Angeles this week.
The park you see was shut down, so the fish and sea creatures had to be moved to San Diego's
Sea World about a hundred miles away.
I guess they thought about opening the gates and letting them swim, but they changed their
mind.
They loaded them water and all onto trucks and off they went and as you can see everything
seemed to go well.
These are pictures from Sea World.
The animals didn't even get any time off.
They were immediately put to work in the Sea World shows.
This goes to show you, you've got to earn your keep no matter where you are.

Some young women with a keen sense of marketing are in hot water with school officials.
The girls of Gilroy High School, that's in California, wanted to raise some money for
a trip to Disneyland.
Now, they've seen how the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue sells, so they decided to market
their own calendar.
As you can see, they didn't exactly stick to the school dress code.
But not all of the calendar photos featured bikinis.
The winter months had pictures of girls in fur coats and sweaters and stuff.
Predictably, the school officials went through the roof.
They put a stop to the sales, and the girls are understandably miffed.
No, I don't think anything is wrong with it.
I mean, if we all posed in the calendar, we knew it was going to come out.
I mean, if we posed in it, there's nothing wrong with it.
I don't agree with what the teachers are saying, you know, how they oppose it and everything.
But I can sort of understand it, but I don't agree with it at all.
Go get them, girls.
Fear not, a Gilroy radio station has come to the rescue.
It's helping to raise money for the trip, even if the calendars can't be sold.
First, Bambi Jr., and now Gilroy.
What is it all coming to?
Goodness.
What in the world?
Thanks for joining us.
We'll be back tomorrow.
