>>> IMMIGRATION CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT IS NO LONGER LISTING DETAINED INDIVIDUALS IN ITS DATABASE AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

THE AP SAYS ICE WAS ORDERED NOT TO LIST PEOPLE WITH FINAL ORDERS OF REMOVAL AND IT'S A DETAINEE LOCATOR SYSTEM.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER WINN SAYS THIS PRACTICE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR FAMILIES TO FIND THEIR LOVED ONES.

>> Reporter: I AM LIVE WHERE I.C.E.

KIDNAPPED A VIETNAMESE WOMAN ON HER WAY TO WORK.

ON OCTOBER 17th SHE WAS DETAINED IN LEMON GROVE.

AS OF TODAY SHE DOES NOT APPEAR IN I.C.E.

'S ONLINE DETAINEE LOCATOR SYSTEM.

>> THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS PATTERN OF ADMINISTRATION.

OF CREATING THIS CLIMATE OF FEAR, OF UNCERTAINTY.

>> Reporter: IAN CIRILLO IS AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AT THE SAN DIEGO IMMIGRATION RIGHTS CONSORTIUM.

HE REPRESENTS -- IN THE PAST WEEK HE HAS HAD TROUBLE FINDING HIS CLIENTS WERE DETAINED.

>> WE DIDN'T GET ANY INFORMATION FROM THE FACILITY.

ALL THEY CAN SAY IS THAT THIS PERSON IS IN THE FACILITY RIGHT NOW.

AND I SAID, CAN YOU GIVE ME YOUR INFORMATION?

THEY SAID NO.

IT'S VERY CONCERNING.

>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CARDED -- STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 15th DETAINEES WITH FINAL REMOVAL ORDER STOPPED APPEARING ON THE GOVERNMENT'S ONLINE LOCATOR SYSTEM.

THE SYSTEM WAS FIRST PUT INTO PLACE AT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

>> AS WE UNDERSTAND, THE ADMINISTRATION CHANGED THEIR POLICY AS REPORTED THROUGH PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO STAY ON RECORD BUT PEOPLE WHO WERE APPARENTLY WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.

>> Reporter: FREDERICK CAROL IS THE LEGAL DIRECTOR.

HE SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION JUSTIFIES THIS BY SAYING THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED DUE PROCESS AND HAVE FINAL ORDERS OF REMOVAL SO THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO DO.

>> BUT THAT COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

IN FACT, DUE PROCESS MEANS, FUNDAMENTALLY, THE ABILITY TO CHALLENGE THE JUDGES ORDER.

AND IN THIS CASE, EVEN AN ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM AN IMMIGRATION JUDGE IS NOT THE FINAL PERIOD ON THE CASE.

>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT I.C.E.

SAYS ALL THE DETAINEES HAVE ACCESS TO PHONES TO CONTACT FAMILIES AND LAWYERS.

INDIVIDUALS WITH FINAL ORDERS OF REMOVAL ARE BEING PRIORITIZED FOR DEPORTATION.

IN A STATEMENT A I.C.E.

SPOKESPERSON SAYS DESPITE THE JUNCTIONS THE DHS IS WORKING RAPIDLY AND OVERTIME TO REMOVE THESE ALIENS FROM DETENTION CENTERS TO THEIR FINAL DESTINATION, HOME.

>> PEOPLE ARE BEING DISCOURAGED FROM EVEN PURSUING IMMIGRATION RELIEF.

>> Reporter: WITH THIS CASE I.C.E.

SAYS SHE VIOLATED THE CONDITION OF HER VISA AND AS A FINAL ORDER OF REMOVAL ISSUED LAST YEAR.

BUT WITHOUT FINDING WHERE SHE IS BEING HELD THE ACLU SAYS IT'S HARD TO FILE FOR HABEAS CORPUS RELEASE.

IT MUST BE FILED WITH THE COURT WHERE THE PERSON IS LOCATED.

ALEXANDER WINN, PBS NEWS.

>>> CONTROVERSIAL VIEWS ON VACCINES, ABORTION AND THE JANUARY 6th INSURRECTION HAVE DOMINATED POLITICAL DISCOURSE IN RECENT YEARS.

NOW PARENTS AND ONE COASTAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ARE CONCERNED A SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE IS HIDING HER OWN FAR RIGHT POSITIONS.

KPBS REPORTER ANDREW DYER LOOKED INTO THOSE CONCERNS AND JOINS US NOW FROM THE NEWSROOM.

HI, ANDREW.

>> HELLO, MAIA.

>> TELL US ABOUT THIS RACE, PLEASE.

>> THIS IS THE UNIFIED HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH INCLUDES SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATED PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTY.

THE SEAT IS IN AREA THREE, WHICH INCLUDES -- SCHOOL BOARD RACES ARE NOMINALLY NONPARTISAN.

THE TWO CANDIDATES FOR THE SEAT, -- IS ENDORSED BY THE DEMOCRATS AND BOGER IS ENDORSED BY THE REPUBLICANS.

>> YOURS STORY FOCUSES ON -- AND HER CAMPAIGN HERE CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU FOUND?

>> ON THE SURFACE HER CAMPAIGN WEBSITE IS PRETTY UNREMARKABLE.

SHE COMES ACROSS AS A SORT OF MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD CONCERNED MOM.

BUT WE STARTED HEARING FROM PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO WERE CONCERNED THAT -- WAS HIDING WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE EXTREME POLITICS FROM VOTERS IN THE DISTRICT.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU GOOGLE HER NAME, ONE OF THE FIRST RESULTS IS THIS PHOTO FROM THE DAY AFTER DONALD TRUMP'S SECOND INAUGURATION IN JANUARY, 2025.

@ CLEARLY URGING PARDONS FOR PEOPLE CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH THE 2021 INSURRECTION AT THE U.S.

CAPITOL.

IF YOU DIG DEEPER THERE IS A LOT MORE THERE.

IN 2010 SHE WAS FEATURED IN A KPBS NEWS STORY ABOUT THE GROWING ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT.

THEN, DURING THE PANDEMIC, THERE WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE OPPOSED TO VACCINES AND MASKING SHOWING UP TO COUNTY SUPERVISORS MEETINGS.

IT TOOK SOME DIGGING BUT WE FOUND -- AMONG THEM.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> AND YOU MUST REINSTATE THE LOST JOBS FROM MANDATES AND RESIGN FROM OFFICE.

AND I'M TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE DEMANDS -- THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HEAR AND IT IS ABOUT IT.

YOU CANNOT INTERRUPT ME.

THIS IS MY MINUTE.

>> SHE ALSO HOSTED WEBINARS.

SHE SERVED AS THE INTERIM STATE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE ADVOCACY GROUP CALLED THE EAGLE FORUM.

DURING A TWO HOUR WEBINAR IN 2023 SHE WOVE A SORT OF CONSPIRACY CAN TAPESTRY OUT OF MISINFORMATION ABOUT VACCINES AND ABORTION.

FOR EXAMPLE, SHE REJECTS THE SCIENCE BEHIND VACCINES AND COMPARES THEM TO SORCERY.

>> ANYWAY, TO ME, THIS IS SATANIC.

LIKE I SAID, IT IS WITCHES BREW.

IT'S WITCHCRAFT.

IT'S SORCERY.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

>> SOME VERY INTERESTING UNEARTHED INFORMATION.

THIS IS PART OF HER ANTI- VACCINE ARGUMENT?

>> IT GOES A BIT BEYOND JUST BEING ANTI-VACCINE.

HERE SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW SUPPOSEDLY MALE AND FEMALE DNA AND VACCINES ARE CONTRIBUTING TO CAN LEADER IDENTIFYING AS TRANS.

>> IT AFFECTS OUR KIDS' CHEMICAL MAKEUP, THINGS THEY THINK AND FEEL.

TO ME, IT'S NO SURPRISE TO SEE THE LGBTQ CULTURE THAT WE HAVE TODAY IN OUR SOCIETY.

>> AND FINALLY, HERE SHE IS EXPLAINING HER BELIEF THAT ABORTION CLINICS ARE ACTUALLY ALTARS FOR SACRIFICING CHILDREN TO THE DEVIL.

>> WE KNOW THAT SATANIC RITUALS FEED ON THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT CHILDREN AND THAT THERE IS A GOD OR SATAN IN BIBLE THAT THEY SACRIFICE BABIES TO FOR THE CLEANSING OF THE PARENTS' SINS.

THIS IS AN ACT TO THE WORSHIP OF SATAN.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT ABORTION CLINICS TODAY ARE DOING.

>> WHAT DID PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT TELL YOU?

>> I TALKED TO SEVERAL RESIDENTS IN THE DISTRICT AND EACH SAID THEY THOUGHT BOGER WAS TRYING TO HIDE THESE BELIEFS IN THE SCHOOL BOARD RACE.

-- INSIDE AREA THREE WHERE -- IS RUNNING.

SHE'S THE MOTHER OF THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND SAYS, BOGER'S IDEALS ARE WAY OUT OF STEP WITH MOST OF THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE ISSUE IN MY VIEW IS NOT THAT SHE HAS EXTREME VIEWPOINTS OR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN EXTREME POLITICAL THINGS.

IT'S MORE THAT SHE ISN'T TELLING CONSTITUENTS SHE HARBORS THESE VIEWS AND HAS THESE POLITICAL IF HIS -- AFFILIATIONS.

WHICH MAKES IT REALLY HARD FOR VOTERS TO MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE ABOUT HER.

>> SO WHAT DOES BOGERT SAY ABOUT ALL OF THIS NOW?

>> WE INVITED HER TO SIT FOR AN INTERVIEW BUT SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT HER PAST COMMENTS ON VACCINES OR ABORTION.

SHE SAYS SHE IS FOCUSED ON THE JOB OF THE SCHOOL BOARD AND IS ONLY WILLING TO TALK ABOUT HER WORK WITH SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS.

SHE ENDED UP JUST SENDING US A WRITTEN STATEMENT WHERE SHE SAID, IN PART, THE TEACHERS UNION AND HER OPPONENTS SUPPORTERS ARE TRYING TO DEMEAN HER.

>> VERY INTERESTING INFORMATION THERE, ANDREW.

WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.

>>> COMING UP TONIGHT, UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKY, TEMPERATURES ARE DOWN TO THE 60s.

A GRADUAL COOLING TREND THIS WEEK WITH SOME SHOWERS AND EVEN SOME STEADY RAIN AHEAD FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FORECAST IS COMING UP.

>>> ACTIVISTS IN NATIONAL CITY SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO WON A VICTORY IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR.

KPBS MATCHA REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THEY ARE FIGHTING TO RETURN A FREEWAY EXIT INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> Reporter: JANICE IS SHOWING ME AROUND A LARGE PATCH OF LAND AROUND INTERSTATE 805.

>> WE ARE AT -- WHERE THE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER ON THE LAND, TRANSLATED FROM -- >> Reporter: TOWERING ABOVE US IS THE 34 STRENGTH ON AND OFF RAMPS.

CALTRANS ANNOUNCED THESE 57 ACRES WERE SELECTED FOR A NEW GRANT PROGRAM.

SAYING THAT RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES THAT WERE DIVIDED BY FREEWAYS.

LOURDES NONPROFIT HAS BEEN PAINTING MURALS HERE AND HOSTING WORKSHOPS TO REIMAGINE THIS SPACE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PARKLAND.

>> WE HAVE PEOPLE HONKING WHEN WE ARE STANDING HERE AND PAINTING, WHEN WE ARE DOING EVENTS, BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO SEEING THIS AREA BLADED.

THERE'S HOPE THAT GOES A LONG WAY.

>> Reporter: THE STATE ORIGINALLY PLEDGED $50 MILLION TO ITS STATEWIDE RECONNECTION COMMUNITIES PROGRAM.

BUT THAT FUNDING WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE STATE BUDGET UNTIL THIS YEAR.

THE STATE GAVE $4.5 MILLION TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY OUTREACH, PLANNING AND TACTICAL STUDIES IN SAN DIEGO.

ACTUALLY REDEVELOPING THE 43rd STREET RAMPS IS STILL MANY YEARS AWAY.

BUT LUNA SAYS IT WILL BE A GENERATIONAL INVESTMENT.

>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR JOB CREATION?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT LIVING ABOUT 10 YEARS LESS IN OUR COMMUNITIES?

CAN WE IMPROVE THAT?

CAN WE IMPROVE THE LIFE EXPECTANCY WHEN WE START TO PRIORITIZE AND INVEST IN DISINVESTMENT COMMUNITIES?

>> Reporter: IN THE MEANTIME, THEY ARE CONTINUING TO BEAUTIFY THE SPACES MURALS.

IT'S ALSO HOSTING WEEKLY CLEANUPS OF STORM DRAINS HERE IN PREPARATION FOR THIS WINTER'S EL NINO.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED MIDWAY RISING, A PLAN FOR HOUSING, A NEW ARENA AND MORE AT THE SPORTS ARENA SITE.

BUT THEY ADDED A PROVISION THAT COULD TANGLE UP THE FOUR-YEAR- OLD NEGOTIATIONS.

SCOTT LEWIS EXPLAINS WHY IT MATTERS.

>> Reporter: FOUR YEARS AGO THE CITY WAS DECIDING WHICH TEAM OF BUILDERS WOULD REDEVELOP ITS ALMOST 50 ACRES OF LAND AT THE SPORTS ARENA.

AND MIDWAY RISING WON THE BID BECAUSE IT PROMISED THE MOST AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

NOW, AS THE FINAL DEAL THEY NEGOTIATED WITH THE CITY IS WORKING THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL, QUESTIONS HAVE COME UP ABOUT THE HOUSING.

CITY STAFF TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD WANTED, AND FOR SOME REASON DID NOT GET, A PROVISION THAT WOULD ENSURE THE DEVELOPERS COULD NOT USE MIDWAY RISING AS A, SO- CALLED, RECEIVER SITE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THAT MEANS THAT IF A DEVELOPER DOING A PROJECT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY IS ALREADY REQUIRED TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING THEY COULD JUST PAY MIDWAY RISING TO BUILD ITS THERE.

AT THE CITY COUNCIL LAND USE AND HOUSING COMMITTEE STEPHEN TOUTED ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT MIDWAY RISING WOULD PROVIDE.

A NEW ARENA, AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

BUT HE LAID OUT A SCENARIO WHERE THE CITY DID NOT GET ANY ACTUAL A NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS OUT OF THE DEAL.

>> I DON'T WANT THE 2000 AFFORDABLE UNITS AT MIDWAY RISING TO JUST BE 2000 UNITS WE WERE ALREADY EXPECTING TO GET FROM OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE CITY.

>> Reporter: THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORTED MIDWAY RISING.

THAT THEY ADDED AN AMENDMENT.

DEVELOPERS OF OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE CITY COULD NOT JUST PAY MIDWAY RISING TO BUILD THEIR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THAT COULD NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 2000 UNITS PROMISED.

NEITHER THE MIDWAY RISING TEAM NOR -- COMMENTED ON THAT.

IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE THEY ARE VERY PLEASED.

BUT COULD IT THREATEN THE DEAL?

IF SO, IT WOULD MEAN THIS WAS A BIG PART OF THEIR PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING.

FOR THE VOICE OF SAN DIEGO, I AM SCOTT LEWIS, AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>> VOICE OF SAN DIEGO IS ONE OF OUR PARTNERS FOR THE MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE AT KPBS.ORG .

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR CANDIDATES MAKE THEIR FINAL PITCH TO VOTERS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS IN THE BALANCE.

THAT'S COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER "EVENING EDITION" ON KPBS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY JAIL COMMISSARY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OFF- LINE SINCE THURSDAY AND MAY NOT BE BACK ONLINE UNTIL THIS COMING WEDNESDAY.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS THEY ARE WORKING TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

DURING THE OUTAGE PEOPLE IN CUSTODY AND THEIR FAMILY, AND FRIENDS, ARE UNABLE TO PURCHASE COMMISSARY ITEMS OR ADD MONEY TO THEIR ACCOUNTS.

>>> WITH THE HOLIDAY SEASON JUST AROUND THE CORNER THE PRICES ARE SOARING HIGHER THAN SANTA'S SLEIGH.

PEOPLE ARE THRUSTING TO SAVED MONEY WHILE -- WE LOOK AT THE RISE OF RESALE AND WHY IT'S RESHAPING HOLIDAY SHOPPING.

>> Reporter: RECENT REPORTS IN SURVEY SUGGEST THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE TURNING TO SECONDHAND GIFTS AS A WAY TO TRY TO STRETCH THEIR HOLIDAY BUDGETS, MAKING RESALE LESS OF AN ALTERNATIVE AND MORE OF A GO TO OPTION.

WITH SKY HIGH INFLATION, SINKING CONSUMER SENTIMENT AND TIGHTENING BUDGETS HEADING INTO THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING SEASON.

>> GROCERY PRICES ARE UP, THE GAS PRICES ARE UP.

>> Reporter: GIFT GIVERS ARE LOOKING FOR ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO SAVE MONEY BEYOND BLACK FRIDAY SALES.

>> YOU COULD FIND SOMETHING GREAT FOR YOURSELF OR FOR A LOVED ONE.

>> Reporter: eBAY, POSH MARK -- HAVE GROWN RAPIDLY IN RECENT YEARS.

eBAY REPORT FOUND MONTHLY SECONDHAND SHOPPING ROSE FROM 35% OF SURVEYED CONSUMERS IN 2025 TO 47% IN 2026.

THAT INTEREST IS ALSO CARRYING INTO THE HOLIDAYS.

2026 HOLIDAY REPORT FOUND 62% OF CONSUMERS SURVEYED PLANNED TO BUY ONE SECONDHAND GIFT THIS SEASON.

VIRGINIA TECH MARKETING PROFESSOR SAYS THE TIDE IS SHIFTING ON BUYING SECONDHAND.

NOT ONLY TO SAVE MONEY OR SHOP SUSTAINABLY, BUT BECAUSE IT'S TRENDY.

>> DRIFTING HAS BECOME COOL.

IT'S COOL ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TALK ABOUT YOUR THRUSTING FIND.

I WENT AND I MADE THE EFFORT TO FIND THIS.

>> Reporter: AND JAMES RINEHART SAYS SECONDHAND SHOPPERS SHOULD DO THE RESEARCH AND LOOK FOR TRUSTED SHOPS AND SITES THAT AUTHENTICATE THEIR PRODUCTS AND OFFER RETURNS.

ADDING, SOMETHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NEW TO BE LOVED.

>> THRIFT HAS BEEN DESTIGMATIZE AND YOU ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE MAKE THAT SHIFT TO THRIFT BECAUSE ITEMS ARE UNIQUE, AND FUN, AND THINGS YOU CAN'T FIND ELSEWHERE.

>> Reporter: THOSE WE SPOKE WITH SAID RESALE CAN ALSO BE A GREAT WAY TO BALANCE OUT YOUR OWN HOLIDAY SPENDING.

FOR EXAMPLE, BY SELLING THINGS YOU NO LONGER WANT OR NEED THAT ARE IN YOUR CLOSET.

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME QUICK CASH TO COVER SOME OF THOSE OTHER EXPENSES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

YOU ALSO BE CLEARING OUT SPACE FOR ANY OF THE GIFTS THAT YOU MAY BE RECEIVING.

IN WASHINGTON I AM MICHAEL YOSHIDA.

>> SOMETHING ELSE THAT MIGHT MAKE A SECONDHAND STORE MORE APPEALING IS THE HIGH PRICE OF SHIPPING.

UPS AND FEDEX ARE ADDING SURCHARGES TO SHIPPING COSTS.

IT'S BECAUSE FUEL IS SO EXPENSIVE AND IT'S COSTING THEM MORE TO TRANSPORT GOODS.

JENN SULLIVAN LOOKS AT HOW DIESEL COSTS COULD IMPACT HOLIDAY BUDGETS.

>> Reporter: SKYROCKETING DIESEL PRICES ARE COSTING COMPANIES A LOT MORE TO TRANSPORT ITEMS.

THOSE COSTS ARE TRICKLING DOWN TO CONSUMERS.

>> IT'S STARTING TO GET TO THE POINT IT IS COSTING AS MUCH FOR FUEL TO PAY AN EMPLOYEE TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD.

>> Reporter: DIESEL IS USED TO POWER TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES AND FARM EQUIPMENT.

SINCE THE WAR WITH IRAN BEGAN DIESEL PRICES HAVE JUMPED MORE THAN 70%.

AS OF MONDAY THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR DIESEL WAS $6.35 A GALLON.

THAT'S $2.69 MORE THAN A YEAR AGO ACCORDING TO AAA.

BECAUSE OF THIS, FEDEX AND UPS HAVE ADDED FUEL SURCHARGES REACHING 30% BECAUSE IT'S COSTING THEM SO MUCH MORE TO FILL UP TRUCKS, SHIPS AND PLANES THE TRANSPORT GOODS.

ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING AHEAD OF THE HOLIDAYS WHEN MANY HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS ARE ALREADY STRETCHED THIN.

>> YOU CANNOT OVERSTATE THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT THAT INFLATION HAS ON FAMILIES.

>> Reporter: IT COULD ALSO MEAN RETAILERS HAVE TO CHARGE MORE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO HIT WITH THESE HIGHER SHIPPING COSTS.

ITEMS LIKE TOYS AND CLOTHES ARE ALREADY HIGHER DUE TO INFLATION.

>> WE ALL KNOW THAT PRICES ARE ABOUT ONE THIRD HIGHER THAN THEY WERE FIVE OR SIX YEARS AGO AND WE ALL FEEL THAT.

>> Reporter: FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I AM JENN SULLIVAN.

>>> METROLINK HAS SUSPENDED ORANGE COUNTY LINE SERVICE TO AND FROM OCEANSIDE THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF HIGH TIDES.

IT'S IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH HIGH TIDES EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING.

THEY TOLD OUR MEDIA PARTNER THE TIDES ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST RECORDED IN RECENT MEMORY.

ONE RESIDENT GOT THE CALL FROM NEIGHBORS THIS MORNING THAT THE SAND BERM IN MISSION BEACH BROKE SUNDAY WATER FROM THE OCEAN RUSHING ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND INTO HER HOME.

>>> FOR 40 YEARS A FOSSIL SAT IN A DRAWER AT SAN DIEGO'S NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.

A SCIENTIST FROM ACROSS THE WORLD HAD A HUNCH IT COULD BE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

THE ANSWER TO A MYSTERY.

KPBS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY REPORTER CARLY K SHOWS US HOW IT UNFOLDED.

>> WAS HIDING IN HERE, RIGHT?

THESE ARE FOSSILS FROM CARLSBAD THAT ARE ,75 MILLION OLD.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE ONE OF THE 1.6 MILLION ARTIFACTS THAT ARE STORED HERE.

THEY MIGHT LOOK LIKE ORDINARY ROCKS AND BONES BUT HE SAYS THE SAN DIEGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM'S COLLECTION IS HOME TO HIDDEN TREASURES.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF TREASURES.

IF I OPEN THIS CABINET HERE, AND I OPEN THE DRAWER, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE FOSSILS IN HERE THAT ARE NEW TO SCIENCE .

BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN STUDIED YET.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE COLLECTIONS.

>> Reporter: -- IS THE PALEONTOLOGY CURATOR AT THE MUSEUM.

HE'S BEEN HANDLING FOSSILS LIKE THESE FOR YEARS.

HE REMEMBERS WHEN THE OLD CURATOR BROUGHT BACK THIS FOSSIL FROM TEXAS IN 1985.

BACK IN ANCIENT TIMES MARINE LIFE LIVED -- HOPED TO FIND THE REMNANTS.

>> WE WERE PREPARING THEM DOWN TO SEE IF THERE ARE FOSSILS IN THEM.

AND THE SPECIMEN SHOWED UP.

THAT WAS 41 YEARS AGO OR SO.

>> Reporter: THE SPECIMEN LIVED IN ONE OF THESE DRAWERS FOR DECADES.

IT WAS LABELED AS AN EARLY CRUSTACEAN OR A CRAB LIKE CREATURE.

RECENTLY, A RESEARCHER FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAD A HUNCH IT WAS SOME DIFFERENT.

HE STUMBLED UPON AN IMAGE OF THE FOSSIL IN AN UNLIKELY PLACE.

>> HE PURCHASED A USED RUSSIAN PALEONTOLOGY TEXTBOOK.

AND IN THAT WAS A FIGURE OF THE SPECIMEN, AND ILLUSTRATION OF THE SPECIMEN.

THE FIGURE CAME FROM A PUBLICATION OF AN ART MUSEUM PUBLISHED IN 1981.

>> Reporter: SOMETHING ABOUT THE CREATURES LABEL PUBLISHED -- TO HIM IT LOOKS MORE LIKE AN INSECT THAN A CRUSTACEAN.

TURNS OUT, THE SEEMINGLY INCONSPICUOUS FOSSIL WAS A BIT OF BOTH.

IT'S WHAT -- DESCRIBES AS A MISSING LINK.

>> IT'S KIND OF A MISSING LINK IN THIS TRANSITION FROM A TOTALLY AQUATIC LIFESTYLE TO A TERRESTRIAL LIFESTYLE.

>> Reporter: GENETICS SHOWED THAT INSECTS EVOLVED FROM CRUSTACEANS.

THEY ARE SHELLED ANIMALS THAT TYPICALLY LIVE IN WATER.

BUT THERE IS AN ,80 MILLION GAP IN THE FOSSIL RECORD THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW INSECTS GOT TO LAND.

THIS FOSSIL, HOWEVER, PROVES THAT THEY LIKELY HAD AN IN BETWEEN PHASE.

>> THESE LITTLE PADDLE APPENDAGES IS, THEY MOVED AROUND.

THAT CHARACTERISTIC IS WHAT BRIDGES THAT GAP BETWEEN THE THINGS THAT SWIM AND THE THINGS THAT WALK PURELY ON LAND.

>> Reporter: THE CAMBRIDGE RESEARCHER REACHED OUT TO THE MUSEUM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK USING SPECIAL TOOLS HE SAW THE SPECIMEN HAD MANY DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN INSECTS, THAT INCLUDES A PAIR OF THREE LAKES MADE FOR WALKING, AND ANTENNA AND A SEGMENTED BODY.

BUT IT ALSO HAD 18 APPENDAGES SHAPED LIKE PADDLES.

DEREK SAYS THE COMBINATION MEANS THAT ANCIENT CREATURE WAS LIKELY AMPHIBIOUS.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE LONGER APPENDAGES, HERE, THE ONES THAT ARE TOUCHING THE ROCK, THOSE ARE THE WALKING APPENDAGES.

THESE OTHER ONES, HERE, KIND OF STICKING OUT, THOSE ARE THE -- THAT ARE HYPOTHESIZED TO BE THE APPENDAGES USED TO MOVE IN THE WATER.

>> Reporter: THE FOSSIL IS 324 MILLION YEARS OLD.

IT'S NOW BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE OLDEST INSECT FOSSILS ON RECORD.

DEREK SAYS IT SHOWS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT NEW SCIENTIFIC INSIGHTS ARE HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.

>> IT TELLS US SOMETHING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF LIFE ON THIS PLANET.

HOW ANIMALS MADE IT ONTO LAND AND THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLECTIONS IN NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS.

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES TO VISIT.

>> Reporter: THE RESEARCHER APTLY NAMED THE FOSSIL -- PRECURSOR.

IT'S THE NAME FOR INSECT PREDECESSOR.

YOU CAN VISIT THE FOSSIL ON DISPLAY IN THE AMAZEMENT IN THE BASEMENT SECTION FOR ONE MORE WEEK.
