It is one of the most infamous cold cases in the country. The Gilgo Beach murders, of course, back in July, we broke the news to the world that an arrest had been made. And tonight in our original series, crime files, secrets in the sand, we bring you new exclusive interviews about the 13 year hunt for a serial killer. Somebody in New York called me and she's like, have you heard from Amber? And I'm like, no why she's like, girl put the news on because they're pulling white up and this girl's just been missing off, you know, escort. Right? Then I knew that's what happened with as these bodies were being dug up. Police say suspected serial killer, Rex Yerman was watching it all go down in his home. That was just miles from the crime scene compulsively hunting online for pictures of the victims and their families. There was a lot of torture porn and depictions of women being abused, being raped and being killed. We're told he even asked Google why the killer hadn't been caught yet. We told them if you get the opportunity to capture some abandoned DNA, take it and you know, that's precisely what they did. It all played out like an episode of c si detectives followed you after his lunch break. One day they found a pizza box that he tossed out in the trash inside. That box was a leftover piece of crust for a number of factors. We made the decision that we were going to make the arrest at that time. I miss you. My life is so hard without him. He's an individual who lived two lives and had the life that sort of everybody in the public saw and then this other life that he, he kept hidden from the public and that's just about a minute and a half of our half hour special. So, tune in tonight at 730 then again at 930 for the brand new Crime Files episode called Secrets in the Sand.

Right now on mornings on news, 12 new video showing the moment firefighters get launched into the air when a building's roof collapses in West New York and breaking this morning, take a look at these flames as a fire breaks out at a home in Woodbridge. We're live at the scene and we are continuing this morning to track the rain coming into New Jersey. We'll tell you what to expect for the weekend as well. Smoking. It's still allowed in Atlantic City casinos this morning. The divide that prevented a vote from banning it from even taking place. And Good morning. Thanks for joining us here on mornings on news 12 on a Friday, December 1st. I'm m mad and I'm Simon Choudry. So we've been talking about the rain. Will it affect our weekend plans? Let's check in with storm watch team. Meteorologist, Alex Calam. Not a bad start to December temperature wise though. Now it's true. It is cold out there this morning in the mid twenties for North Jersey, interior parts of the state only in the twenties, but we are all warming up very quickly. I want to take you to one of the cooler spots. Somerset County is sitting in the mid twenties right now. At Best Rocky Hill is 30. So you definitely need to jack it early but you don't get by mid morning, at least not the heavy jacket. You're sitting in the mid forties. The wind is very calm today but clouds are building and we have a chance for rain. It is after all the first day of December and on average temperatures are right around 49. So this is just about right for this time of the year. But by the end of the month, we go down to 41 for your average morning temperature on average by the end of the month, 28. And yeah, December typically is when we see our first snow of the season last year though. We didn't see our first inch of snow until February this weekend. We're just talking plain old rain and there could be plenty of it on Sunday. Saturday looks dry and cloudy and mild coming up. We'll show you what those numbers look like. Alex. Thank you breaking this morning. Emergency crews working a fire in Middlesex County news. Tell New Jersey's Tony.

Another check of that hyperlocal forecast. Definitely not as cold out there today and we have the sunshine too. So overall, this is just about as good as it gets for us. Not a bad way to close off the month, but we start off December with more clouds and a chance for a shower in the evening. It's mostly light rain, but it'll probably be around through the whole evening commute. Then the weekend comes with cloudy skies kind of spritzes and a little bit of drizzle. But as you see, temperatures have been kind of hovering close to 50 this afternoon and then we drop into the mid forties for any evening plans. So 7 p.m. dinner time looks cool but not cold. We're chilly in the morning time on Friday, a few spots close to freezing, but I'm expecting us to stay above it. And then Friday afternoon, temperatures are mostly in the mid forties with high temperatures close to 50 but it won't feel as warm tomorrow. And that's because we have cloudy skies. Here's a look at four o'clock seeing very light showers pass through the city and that will continue kind of on and off for us here in the Bronx at five o'clock, still some light showers tomorrow and then closing off Friday evening with just mainly cloudy skies. Those clouds just are so stubborn. Best chance of seeing the sun is gonna be on Saturday, but there's not much of it expect clouds to build overnight. Saturday with a few showers. If you have late Saturday evening plans, I'm talking after dinner time, Sunday, rain pretty much expected at some point in the afternoon or evening. Definitely not looking like a total wash at this point. But the later you get in the day, the better bahrain risk gets. So you need the umbrella there. Probably gonna need it for Monday morning too. That's still a few days out. But at least temperatures still look quite mild there and we're expecting high temperatures to stay only in the mid forties from the middle of next week. It's gonna be a little cool.

HVFORECAST

Rain drops today. Meteorologist Matt Hammer filling us in on that forecast. Yeah, just a couple of light showers really around after one o'clock this afternoon through about six or seven this evening. So that's where we start off with on the futurecast. Really nice morning this morning, chilly temperatures will get up into the upper forties to near 50 though into the afternoon under mostly cloudy skies by late morning and early afternoon today. So the spotty light areas of green arrive after one o'clock this afternoon, steadier rain will be missing us to the north and west. But you will have the, the umbrella at times during the afternoon and early evening with just these occasional light spotty showers. The best chance for Westchester and Rockland to see these showers is actually after four o'clock and through about six o'clock or so this evening, then after seven this evening, completely dry, mostly cloudy. There just can be a little bit of some fog development overnight into early tomorrow. I do expect to see some breaks of sunshine tomorrow, but clouds certainly should win out throughout the day. Highs will jump well into the fifties briefly into the early afternoon. And I just want to extend this out into Sunday because there are some changes for Sunday, not necessarily looking at flooding or anything like that just yet. But after a dry, early morning on Sunday, we will likely have a round of steadier rain moving in for the afternoon and for the evening hours on Sunday, drying out in time for the morning commute on Monday. So we just want to keep an eye on that for you as we go throughout the weekend today. Kind of an eye all day. It starts off great, but it ends up being a little bit unsettled with a few of those spotty afternoon and early evening rain showers before just drier, mostly cloudy conditions kind of remain for the overnight with some patchy fog. So just pay attention to visibility overnight, you might have to slow down a little bit into very early tomorrow morning for some areas of scattered fog highs tomorrow. Well into the fifties, a stray Sprinkle possible in the afternoon and evening, but most of the day, dry clouds and little hints of sunshine tomorrow is easily the better half of the weekend before that chance at steadier afternoon, evening rain on Sunday, most of next week looks dry at this point, but turning colder by Tuesday with highs in the lower forties, it looks like we'll stay in the forties from Tuesday and through next weekend just could be some more wet weather by next Friday.

What the great thing about coming in at 4 a.m. No traffic. No good, smooth sailing, smooth sailing. Yeah. And I guess still for right now. Not too bad. Yeah, it isn't too bad. We're still looking pretty good and the weather is not too bad. At least for the first half of today. Things do switch up later on, but the warmer temperatures are nice. Oh, yeah, we'll see that into the weekend as well. So we're looking forward to that fifties, uh, for a lot of us for today, you are gonna need those umbrellas for a little bit later on getting into your evening period and then, uh, for your tonight, we can expect things to kind of dry out. When I say tonight, we're looking closer to your maybe 89 o'clock hour. We're getting your future cast to time it out. But even still numbers don't fall off too much as we're seeing a lot of us into the forties for you tomorrow. Here's a look at later on this morning at about nine o'clock. We're in the forties. 41 for Birch Port, 44 for orange clouds fill in late parts of our morning. You can expect to see some showers getting into the afternoon, mainly for areas up north north of 84 1st. And then most of us will get engulfed into some rain. By the time we head into that commute home, 567 o'clock, by around your 89 o'clock hour, we're looking gonna dry out and we're looking good. Heading into your Saturday could see a little bit of some patchy fog for the early parts. Your Saturday. Keep that in mind if you do got some traveling to get done for the morning period, but we'll start to see some sunshine as it progressed into your afternoon. Still gonna battle a few clouds for your Saturday. But look at some of these numbers. You got 53 for Torrington, Thomaston, Watertown, 54 for Newtown, 52 for those out toward orange. So whatever plans you got going on for your Saturday, you are looking pretty good things change for your sub, looking dry, but a cloudy gray start for your Sunday morning. And then we see those showers start to work its way in right around the late morning and into the early parts of your afternoon where again, you will need the umbrella. We're talking heavier bouts of that rain, not the little stuff that we're gonna work with today. We really see things pick up. So just to put things into perspective, we're looking at about a quarter of an inch of rain for this first round for today. And then you're gonna tackle on another inch to an inch and a half by the time we head into your Sunday, where those are your total. So again, we're looking at a lot of rain to wrap up this weekend.
