TOSS TO HEATHER-ON CAM

SCANDAL HITS THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN LONDON JUST DAYS AHEAD OF THE OPENING CEREMONY.

AND TONIGHT GROWING CONCERN THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH SECURITY FOR ATHLETES AND SPECTATORS AROUND LONDON.

NBC2's HEATHER TURCO IS IN THE STUDIO WITH THE STORY--

OLYMPIC SECURITY PROBLEMS-TFX CTR MON

THE SECURITY COMPANY TASKED WITH GUARDING THE MAJORITY OF THE EVENTS--

NOW SAYS THEY ONLY HAVE *HALF* THE EXPECTED NUMBER OF GUARDS READY.

SO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT STEPPED IN TO HELP--

OLYMPIC SECURITY PROBLEMS-PKG

CHECKING BAGS. GUARDING ATHLETES. NOW BEING DONE BY MILITARY AND POLICE OFFICERS, SCRAMBLED FROM AROUND THE UK.

BECAUSE THE SECURITY COMPANY G4S-- THE WORLD'S 3RD LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYER-- JUST FIGURED OUT, IT CANNOT MEET ITS TARGET!

OF THE 10 THOUSAND 400 GUARDS G4S AGREED TO PROVIDE-- IT ADMITS HAVING ONLY ABOUT HALF THAT NUMBER READY.

BRITISH LAWMAKERS LET THE CEO HAVE IT.

"A fiasco and a shambles."

"Inexcusable."

"It's a humiliating shambles, isn't it?"

"It's not where we want to be, that is certain."

CEO NICK BUCKLES SAYS HE ONLY LEARNED JULY 3RD -- THAT G4S WILL FALL WELL SHORT.

IN JUNE, AN INTERNAL G4S MEMO TALKED ABOUT ITS SYSTEM CALLED "JUST IN TIME" PHASING. SAYING "IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ADVANTAGE TO HAVE EVERYONE TRAINED MONTHS IN ADVANCE, BUT THAT WAS NEITHER PRACTICAL NOR COST EFFECTIVE."

MANY PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO WORK AT THE OLYMPICS, HAVE COMPLAINED THEY WENT THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND TRAINING, THEN DIDN'T HEAR BACK-- FOR MONTHS.

OLYMPIC ORGANIZERS EMPHASIZE THEIR CONFIDENCE.

"This has not, nor will it, impact on the safety and security of these games."

A BIGGER QUESTION HOW MANY G4S GUARDS WILL SHOW UP AT ALL? WILL MORE MILITARY BE NEEDED.

"You cannot guarantee how many will turn up on the day?? / You can't be sure, can you."

OLYMPIC SECURITY PROBLEMS-TFX CTR MON, SS, TFX C

A LOST LOVER.

DOCTOR KILLED-PKG

IT'S A LOVE TRIANGLE -- INVOLVING TWO DOCTORS -- THAT APPARENTLY LED TO A

MURDER FOR HIRE.

ACCORDING TO LUBBOCK POLICE, DOCTOR THOMAS MICHAEL DIXON WAS SO HUNG UP ON

HIS EX-GIRLFIREND -- HE PLOTTED TO KILL HER NEW BOYFFRIEND -- DR. JOSEPH

SONNIER.

911 CALL: "Someone has broken a window in the back and the Dr. did not show

up for work today."

SONNIER'S LANDSCAPER CALLED POLICE, WHEN HE WAS FOUND SHOT AND STABBED TO

DEATH IN HIS HOME LAST WEEK.

911 CALL: "Maam what do you see? One of his coworkers went in the house and

he says it not good."

SONNIER'S GIRLFRIEND -WHO HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED --TOLD DETECTIVES DR.

DIXON WAS STILL FIXATED ON HER, AND THAT'S WHEN THEY UNCOVERED THE PLOT.

Jon Caspel / Captain, Lubbock Police Dept.: "I don't know that we've ever

encountered a case like this involving two high profile doctors."

DETECTIVES NOT ONLY ARRESTED DR. DIXON -- A PROMINENT PLASTIC SURGEON.

.THEY BELIEVE DIXON HIRED 51-YEAR-OLD DAVID SHEPARD TO COMMIT THE MURDER.

IN EXCHANGE, SHEPARD WOULD ALLEGEDLY BE PAID WITH THREE SILVER BARS, WORTH

ABOUT THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH.

SOT Nancy Grace / Legal Expert:16 "There are ID numbers - like VIN numbers

on silver bars - so just in case you find yourself embroiled in a murder for

hire, don't use silver bars as a method of payment.":28

BOTH MEN ARE NOW CHARGED WITH MURDER, WHICH HAS BROUGHT RELIEF TO SONNIER'S

FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

SOT -- Richard Parks / CEO, Covenant Health Systems: "For me it's better to

have some closure to a situation like this than having open ended questions,

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

HOT WEATHER - LESS RAIN

Look like we are in for a few mainly dry, but hot, days. The low pressure area in northern Florida continues to drift farther north and will keep southwest winds over the area for the rest of today and tonight. This will lead to some isolated thunderstorms this afternoon and evening - mainly inland and east of the interstate. Temperatures will continue to be muggy and mild this evening with a low in the 70's tomorrow morning.

Computer models continue to show an area of high pressure in the Atlantic building over Florida on Thursday and Friday. This weather pattern looks to set up some very hot days for us and my forecast calls for 95 to 96 degrees both days. There will still be sufficient humidity to bring our heat index over 100 degrees both days. Afternoon thunderstorms will take a break for a few days but despite the outlook for mainly dry weather, I think there could be an isolated storm developing on Friday.

EGG ALLERGIES-ON CAM

KIDS WHO WERE ONCE SEVERELY ALLERGIC TO EGGS--

ARE NOW ABLE TO EAT THEM.

THANKS TO AN INNOVATIVE STUDY IN WHICH CHILDREN ARE ACTUALLY *GIVEN*--

THE VERY FOODS THAT MAKE THEM SICK!

EGG ALLERGIES-PKG

WHETHER IT'S NUTS, EGGS, MILK OR SHELLFISH. MILLIONS OF CHILDREN IN THE U-S SUFFER FROM FOOD ALLERGIES.

LITTLE TAD WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ONE AFTER EATING CAKE ON HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY.

"His eye would start to swell and his face would swell, and he started having some hives, and he started throwing up."

TAD WAS ALLERGIC TO THE EGG IN THE CAKE. THAT MEANT COMPLETELY AVOIDING THEM. NOT ONLY IN SCRAMBLED FORM, BUT ALSO THE EGGS HIDDEN IN BAKED GOODS, ICE CREAM. EVEN PASTA.

"You worry a lot about safety, because even the tiniest amount of egg could kill him."

BUT IN THIS CASE -- THE TINIEST AMOUNT OF EGG -- ALL BUT CURED HIM.

"What we started off with was literally about 1 /10,000th of an egg."

DR. WESLEY BURKS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA LED A MULTI-CENTER STUDY OF ORAL IMMUNOTHERAPY TO TREAT EGG ALLERGIES IN KIDS.

ALL 55 STUDY PARTICIPANTS WERE GIVEN EITHER A PLACEBO OR EGG WHITE POWDER. NEITHER THE DOCTORS NOR THE PATIENTS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING.

THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE REAL EGG WHITES GOT A SMALL AMOUNT, THEN GRADUALLY ATE MORE. AFTER A YEAR, HALF OF THE PARTICIPANTS COULD EAT A WHOLE EGG WITHOUT COMPLICATION. AFTER TWO YEARS -- THREE-QUARTERS COULD DO IT.

DOCTOR BURKS STOPS SHORT OF CALLING THIS A CURE.

"I think what you can say is that they're eating eggs in their diet now, and they're eating them without symptoms."

"Donuts, ice cream, pasta."

ALL BACK ON THE MENU FOR TAD -- WHO WAS SUCCESSFULLY TREATED AT ONE OF THE STUDY SITES -- THE JOHNS HOPKINS CHILDREN'S CENTER IN BALTIMORE.

MORE STUDIES ARE NEEDED BUT DOCTORS SAY IF ALL GOES WELL, THE TREATMENT COULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS.

THE MYSTERY CONTINUES--

A STORY YOU FIRST SAW RIGHT HERE ON NBC2 ABOUT A BOAT ABANDONED AT THE NAPLES MARINA.

THE BOATS OWNER IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

CITY OFFICIALS TURNING TO NBC2 TO HELP FIND 57-YEAR OLD WAYNE BALL.

REPORTER GABY FLEISCHMAN IS STILL DIGGING ON THIS STORY.

SHE SPOKE TO WAYNE BALLS EX-WIFE ABOUT HIS WHEREABOUTS.

NAPLES BOAT MYSTERY-LIVE

The big question-- where in the world is wayne ball and why did he leave his boat here at the naples dock? Law enforcement and city officials have been looking for more than a month and haven't been able to track him down.

NAPLES BOAT MYSTERY-PKG

It's a maritime mystery.

A 50thousand dollar catamaran tied up at the naples dock 42 days ago.

Inside the bed is made, clothes are neatly folded.

Roger jacobsen, naples harbor master

17:49:53 it's unusual for someone to walk away from a very expensive vessel that doesn't have a lien, it's well kept it's well maintained."

Since the boat appeared on june 6th-- no one has paid slip fees, and the boats owner 57-year-old wayne ball can't be found.

We spoke to waynes ex-wife pamela over the phone today.

Pamela ball, wayne ball's ex-wife:

"I couldn't even imagine what he's doing or where he is because I've lost all contact with him."

Pamela lives in pensacola and hasn't heard from her ex in years. She's also been trying to track him down to get child support-- but says it's been impossible.

She says wayne is either in trouble-- or doesn't want to be found.

Pam:

"I think that something's gone wrong and he may have messed with the wrong person or he's just hiding out."

Ball had a few cabinetry businesses in naples-- those have also been abandoned.

A previous landlord tells nbc2 ball stopped paying rent 6 months ago and just disappeared.

Balls attorney also tells us he hasn't had contact with his client since january.

After more than a month of searching-- checking jails, hospitals and missing persons reports-- city officials worry this marina mystery will never be solved.

Roger:

NAPLES BOAT MYSTERY-LIVE

ball owes thousands worth of slip fees but city officials say they aren't looking at this as a crime, they just want to make sure ball is ok.
