The city of Richardson is starting its efforts to prevent West Nile Virus earlier than it ever has before.

Richardson began testing samples of trapped mosquitoes on April 1st – or one full month ahead of schedule.

By the middle of the month, four samples in three separate neighborhoods returned mosquitoes testing positive for the virus.

"These were mosquitoes that survived the winter, somewhere holed up in a storm drain or in some protected area," said Richardson Health Department Director Bill Alsup. "They fed late last fall, got infected with the virus through an infected bird. They recently emerged with the warm weather, and we caught them as they came out."

The city planned to begin its ground spraying campaign in those three affected areas on Sunday night, but that plan was delayed because of the wind. 

According to a Richardson news release, wind gusts up to 15 miles an hour prevents the proper application of the insecticide. 

The city said, weather permitting, it will try to spray on Monday or Tuesday night.

The city council has also approved increasing the level of surveillance for the disease within city limits, including the city mosquito monitoring program as well as its response to positive samples.

"The really important key is that we're out in front of it more so than we ever have been before in the state of Texas, here in Richardson and in Dallas County," Alsup said. "We're hopeful this early and hard attack will make for a better summer for us this year."

Richardson's strategy involves spraying affected areas two nights in a row.

The city will not spray if wind gusts exceed 10 miles per hour or if temperatures drop below 50 degrees.

Source: Williams "Person Of Interest" In DA Murders

Source tells NBC DFW that former Kaufman County Justice of the Peace is a "Person of Interest" in the murder cases of the county's District Attorney, his wife and Assistant District Attorney.

Agents Search Seagoville Storage Units

Multiple agencies searched a Seagoville storage facility on Saturday, the same agencies investigating the murders of Mark Hasse and Mike and Cynthia McLelland.

More Photos and Videos

A family member tells NBC DFW's Ray Villeda charges against former Kaufman County Justice of Peace Eric Williams are expected as early as Tuesday. 

So far, no one has been charged in the murder cases of District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife Cynthia and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse.

Family members have been told Williams is a "prime suspect" and that he may be moved from the Kaufman County jail in the coming days.

On April 2nd, Eric Williams told our sister station in Houston, KPRC, "I certainly think that anytime a prosecutor has taken on a case that was at least in some case a little high profile, then they should certainly look at anybody involved with that."

Williams was referring to his high profile theft case. In 2012, he was convicted of stealing three computer monitors from the county. As a result, he lost his position as justice of the peace.

Earlier on Sunday, the Kaufman County Sheriff's Department Lt. Justin Lewis told NBCDFW: 

Mr. Williams has not been charged with any murder (no one has been
charged for the murders) and we have not named any suspects, prime
suspects, or persons of interest in the case - despite what some DFW
outlets reported last night. The investigation continues and all leads and
tips continue to be worked.  There are no pressers or releases scheduled
for today.

Eric Williams, 46, was admitted to the Kaufman County Jail early Saturday morning, jail records show. Bond was set at $1 million for the terroristic threat charge and at $1 million each for two charges of insufficient bond.

The FBI, state and local law enforcement searched his home on Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, officers searched a storage unit in Seagoville in Southeast Dallas County. Officers would not tell NBC DFW who the storage unit or a white sedan removed from the unit belonged to.

Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia were found gunned down in their home on March 30. In late January, death of assistant DA Mark Hasse, who was fatally shot as he was leaving work in Kaufman, about 30 miles southeast of Dallas.

Amber Alert Issued for Cedar Hill Girl

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 14 April 2013 | 12.13

Cedar Hill police have issued an Amber Alert for a 12-year-old girl they believe is "in grave or immediate danger."

Sommer Brown is a black girl who is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 90 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black tank top and black basketball shorts.

Police believe she is with her mother, 43-year-old Lisa Elizabeth Brown, a black woman who is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing a black blazer and a light green shirt.

Police said they believe the pair may be traveling in a gray/pewter 2006 Ford Expedition with a paper Carmax tag that reads 86P 3357 and expires on May 19, 2013.

"I'm worried for her safety and her well-being and ... we need to find her ASAP ... because I don't know what her mother could do to her," said Madison Dews, Sommer Brown's stepsister.

Cedar Hill police said Lisa Brown, an Atlanta schoolteacher who is currently on spring break, came to North Texas to try to get temporary custody of her daughter.

The girl's father was awarded custody about three weeks ago.

Police said Lisa Brown filed a police report accusing her estranged husband of sexually abusing his daughter. Cedar Hill police said they looked into the claims, found they were false and arrested Brown on suspicion of filing a false police report on Tuesday.

Brown bonded out of a jail on Wednesday and sought an emergency temporary custody order through family courts on Thursday but was denied, police said.

After the court denied her custody, Brown tried to take her daughter out of school, but the school denied her request because she doesn't have custodial rights, police said.

Investigators said Lisa Brown drove to her estranged husband's neigbhorhood in the 100 block of Hannah Circle at approximately 6 p.m. on Thursday and called her daughter.

Dews said she was sitting with her stepsister inside the house while she talked with her mother on the phone.

Her mother told her stepsister "how much she missed her, she couldn't live without her, and she wasn't going to live without her, and that she wasn't going to stop trying to get her," Dews said.

She said Sommer Brown went outside "because her mother begged her for a hug."

When Sommer Brown finally came out of the house, neighbors told police they heard Lisa Brown yelling at her daughter to get in the car. When she finally complied, Brown sped away, witnesses said.

Dews said she ran after the car, with her stepsister staring at her through the window.

"She was, like, looking at me like to see what our next step was going to be ... because she knew that she wasn't planning on leaving with her mother," Dews said.

Family members say their top concern is getting Sommer Brown home safe.

Dews said she wants to know that her stepsister safe and wants her back home. She also said she wants her stepsister to know that her family is looking for her, saying that she knows Sommer Brown doesn't want to be with her mother.

"She had no intentions on ever seeing her mother again," she said.

Police said Lisa Brown is not cooperating with police and has cut off contact with her lawyer, who was trying to get her to turn herself in and return her daughter.

Lisa Brown has ties to Houston, Atlanta and Chicago, according to Cedar Hill police.

Anyone with information on the Browns' whereabouts is asked to call the Cedar Hill Police Department at 972-230-5785.

Former Kaufman Co. JP Williams Arrested

After a second search of his Kaufman home on Friday, former Kaufman County Justice of the Peace Eric Williams was arrested overnight Friday and booked into the Kaufman County Jail.

According to booking information, Williams was arrested for one count of making a terroristic threat and two counts of insufficient bond. 

He is being held on three million dollars bond. 

Local, state and federal agents searched Williams' home in the 1600 block of Overlook Drive late Friday afternoon.

The FBI, Texas Rangers and Kaufman County investigators are gathering evidence related to the McLelland and Hasse murders according to Kaufman County public information officer Lt. Justin Lewis.

A listed phone number for Williams went unanswered Friday afternoon. But his attorney, David Sergi, released a statement Friday saying his client "has cooperated with law enforcement and vigorously denies any and all allegations."

Williams has never been named as a suspect in the murders of Mark McLelland, his wife Cynthia and ADA Mark Hasse. 

In an interview April 3, Williams told NBC 5 he had nothing to do with the McLellands' murder and doesn't even own a gun.

"If I was in their shoes, I would want to talk to me," Eric Williams said in an interview at his house. "In the investigators' minds, they want to check with me to do their process of elimination."

Williams, a former Kaufman County justice of the peace, was charged with theft and later convicted in a high-profile trial. He was kicked out of office, and his law license was suspended. He was 

sentenced to two years' probation and is appealing his conviction.

But he said he is not bitter and wouldn't want to harm anyone.

"I've cooperated with law enforcement," Williams said. "I certainly wish them the best in bringing justice to this incredibly egregious act."

Williams' name has swirled around the courthouse because his trial was sensational news in this small community, and it included testimony of death threats.

William said he was contacted Saturday night by investigators -- only about three hours after Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found dead inside their Forney home.

He said he met the agents at a nearby restaurant, where he allowed them to swab his hands for gunpowder residue. He also gave them his and his wife's cellphones, which they returned the next day.

"I know I didn't do anything," he said. "I know where I was."

Williams said he was at home with his wife or up the street at his in-laws late Friday and Saturday.

He expressed shock at the crime and sympathy for the victims' families.

"I want to say my deepest condolences go out to the McLelland family and all the people at the courthouse," he said.

Asked if he is angry at prosecutors, he said, "No, I'm not. Obviously that was also a part of them doing their jobs."
