LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California police department is drawing attention to a 45-year-old murder case by tweeting about the crime as if it just happened, in the voice of the 11-year-old victim. Have you been following #LindasStory ? All of the tweets have been collected in a Moment here: https://t.co/yxv1fLFIZp pic.twitter.com/ubijjtDZkg — Newport Beach Police (@NewportBeachPD) July 7, 2018 The Newport Beach Police Department just south of Los Angeles suspended all its normal Twitter content on Saturday to post an extensive series of tweets about Linda O’Keefe, an 11-year-old girl kidnapped while walking home from school on July 6, 1973. The blue-eyed girl’s body was found the following morning in a nearby nature preserve. The department wrote the powerful tweets as if Linda herself was telling readers about the last hours of her young life. The tweets became a Moment on the social media site and have been gaining attention under #LindasStory. Although police have become more reliant on Twitter and other platforms to spread the word about important cases or public safety information, the dozens of unique tweets telling Linda’s story show how some departments are more fully embracing the power and popularity of such outlets. The tweets begin by telling readers about Linda’s morning and day at summer school, including that her mother told her she couldn’t pick her up and to take the short walk home. “No one is concerned when I don’t come home from school right away. Or not TOO concerned, anyway,” reads one post written in Linda’s voice. “It’s a different time back in 1973, and kids roam the neighborhood on their bikes for hours at a time.” The tweets detail how Linda’s parents and 18-year-old sister began looking for her and calling around to friends and family. They also explain in chilling detail how a bicyclist found her body while he was looking for frogs among cattails. “He sees something small, and pale. My hand. He sees my hand,” the tweet reads. “He screams, trying to rouse me.” Another tweet describes how the man’s friends follow his screams and see her body, as well. “They don’t know who I am, of course … or who I was,” the tweet says. “But they see a young girl’s body, still in my mom’s homemade dress. I’ve been strangled.” In addition to the tweets, the department posted what they say is a new lead , images of the suspected killer and what he might have looked like in 1973 and what he would look like now — all based on DNA evidence used to predict his eye, hair and skin color, and his face shape. In a news release about the series of tweets, the department said the posts were designed to “give Linda a voice once again.” “Years have passed since this heinous murder, but the (department) remains dedicated to justice for Linda, and committed to finding her killer,” the department said.

written by HudsonStead
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Tens of thousands of people are still without power Sunday morning as Southern California swelters under record breaking heat. The outages are scattered across the region in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Utility workers have been working throughout the night to restore electricity as fast as possible. But the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power says it could take up to 48 hours or more to fully restore power. In all, more than 37,000 DWP customers are without power and 9,600 SCE customers are also without power. The DWP says Saturday’s demand is the second-highest of any weekend day in the city’s history.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The heat wave continued Saturday across the Southland , as thousands of people dealt with power outages amid triple-digit temperatures. The peak of the heat wave came Friday and will continue Saturday with “widespread record-breaking triple-digit heat” expected, the National Weather Service wrote. “The extreme record-breaking heat in combination with single-digit humidities and gusty north winds will continue to bring very critical fire weather conditions across the mountains, Santa Barbara south coast, Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica mountains.” The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power reported that 34,500 customers were without power as of 8 a.m. Saturday. In Koreatown, a high-rise apartment building for seniors had been without power since Friday night: the 14-story Sheraton Town House Apartments at 639 S. Commonwealth Ave. LADWP Heat Storm Update: As of 8 AM, 14,500 customers restored since Friday as crews work to restore the 34,500 who remain without power. More details: https://t.co/RH9fUNYwbY — LADWP (@LADWP) July 7, 2018 Hundreds of shoppers were forced to leave The Grove shopping mall in the Fairfax District Friday night after an outage knocked out power there. Power has since been restored. Red flag warnings will be in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday in the Los Angeles County mountains, Angeles National Forest, Santa Clarita Valley, Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area and the San Fernando Valley. Winds across the affected areas are expected to blow between 15 to 30 mph, with gusts in some areas reaching 50 mph, combined with single-digit humidity levels and triple-digit temperatures, forecasters said. Also in effect is an excessive heat warning everywhere in Los Angeles County, including the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountains; the San Fernando, San Gabriel, Santa Clarita, Pomona and Antelope valleys; Catalina, L.A. County beach cities, metropolitan Los Angeles, the downtown area and the Hollywood Hills. The warning will remain in effect until 9 p.m. Saturday. Highs expected in those areas include the 80s to mid 90s along the coast; the mid 90s to 105 inland; 95 to 107 in the mountains; and 105 to 112 in the valleys. Downtown Los Angeles broke the heat record for a July 6 by reaching 95 degrees — at 10:15 a.m. — surpassing the 1992 record of 94 degrees. Heat records also fell in areas including Long Beach, Van Nuys, Burbank, Woodland Hills, LAX and Sandberg.

Heat records for the date also fell at LAX, at 92 degrees; Long Beach Airport at 109 degrees; UCLA at 111; Burbank at 114; Van Nuys at 117; and Woodland Hills at 117.

The Van Nuys and Burbank readings were also all-time highs. Sandberg also reached a record high. Government agencies, meanwhile, reminded the public about the availability of cooling centers across the Southland for people who need a break from high temperatures.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Crews are working to restore power following an outage at The Grove. The outage was reported shortly before 7 p.m. Friday. The extent of the outage was not immediately known. The LADWP is meanwhile urging customers to reduce power use where possible as record temperatures hit Southern California. “As we prepare ourselves for extreme weather conditions, we remind our customers to conserve electricity, when possible, while staying safe,” said Martin Adams, LADWP Chief Operating Officer. “Conserving energy not only can help manage your costs, but it also reduces potential strains on our power grid, which can be caused by overworked air conditioners and other appliances.” To help conserve energy, LADWP recommends the following: Adjust air conditioning thermostats to 78 degrees to reduce energy usage during the hottest hours of the day when air conditioning systems have to work hardest to cool. Reduce power use during the afternoon/early evening hours from 2:00 – 9:00 p.m., when energy use is highest. Visit the local library, recreation center, mall, movie theaters, or any other air conditioned gathering place to give your air conditioner a rest. Limit use of major appliances during peak hours of the day–use washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and other heavy appliances during the early morning hours or during evening hours. Close window curtains, shades or blinds during the heat of the day to reduce the extra heat from direct sunlight through windows. Ventilate the home in the early morning and evening by opening windows and doors to clear out the heat and allow cooler air to circulate. Turn off lights and other electrical equipment when they are not in use. Unplug “energy vampires” like cell phone chargers, DVD players, microwave ovens and other appliances that use energy even when not in use. To report any loss of power, call 1-800-DIAL-DWP.
