Live Blog from the Anchor Desk 08/31/09
We’re keeping a close eye on a fast-moving California wildfire that’s threatening thousands of homes and businesses outside Los Angeles—and has trapped five people who ignored evacuation orders.
And we now have a much clearer picture of what the last 18 years have been like for Jaycee Dugard, the young woman who was found last week 18 years after her kidnapping. Investigators are combing the secret backyard compound where Dugard was allegedly forced to live–and where she apparently gave birth to the two daughters her captor fathered. We’ll show you what investigators found inside the squalid makeshift compound of tents and sheds.

Good night, Anderson and Erica!!!
Good night, David and friends!

Hi Anderson, I believe people affected by the wild fire should heed to instructions and vacate the site as soon as possible to avoid further casualties. Nobody gains anything at the death of anybody. The fire fighters should be allowed to do their jobs despite them missing their homes. I reach out to all of them and feel deeply for what they are passing through.
