BIG NAMES COME TO SOUTHWEST FLORIDA TODAY --

TRYING TO FIND JUSTICE FOR TWO MEN

FILMMAKER TYLER PERRY, REVEREND AL SHARPTON AND N-DOUBLE-A-C-P PRESIDENT BEN JEALOUS SPENT THE DAY IN NAPLES HELPING SHINE A LIGHT ON A COLD CASE.

TERRENCE WILLIAMS AND FELIPE SANTOS DISAPPEARED EIGHT YEARS AGO AFTER ENCOUNTERING A FORMER COLLIER COUNTY DEPUTY.

ABC7'S GABY FLEISCHMAN TELLS US WHY TYLER PERRY BECAME SO INTERESTED IN THIS CASE --

TYLER PERRY AL SHARPTON IN NAPLES-LL PKG

Since williams and santos disappeared, law enforcement has received dozens of tips. One led them to this wooded area near wiggins pass around 6 months ago. Search teams and cadaver dogs scoured the area and turned up nothing. All of the tips that have come in have led nowhere-- now some big names are hoping to change that.

Big time celebrity tyler perry, reverend al sharpton and naacp president ben jealous in collier county to heat up two cold cases.

Ben jealous, naacp

47:04 this give us hope the only way to turn a cold case into a live case is to turn up the heat."

Perry announced a 100-thousand dollar reward for information leading to an arrest in the nearly decade old missing persons cases of 23 year old felipe santos and 29 year old terrance williams.

Both men disappeared within months of one another-- both were last seen alive by deputy calkins.

Tyler perry

1:32:35 should be outraged that this is happening in america in 2013. It is beyond offensive that someone, a deputy, Someone who is entrusted by us, the community, and two people both put in his car and disappeared 1:33:00

Calkins is a person of interest in the case--

He was fired after detectives say he was untruthful and uncooperative about the disappearances. He has since refused to talk but was never named a suspect.

Marcia williams, terrance williams mom

"48:58 we won't give up, you know I'll never give up. Terrance has four children, I have to have answers, I demand to have answers 49:08"

The williams and santos families-- along with the collier county sherriffs office are hoping todays renewed attention on the cases will encourage people to come forward with information.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID HE'LL SEND TO PRESIDENT OBAMA ON TUESDAY A PROPOSAL TO CHANGE U-S GUNS LAWS.

"Diminish the probability that what we've seen in these mass shootings will occur and diminish the probability that our children are at risk in their schools."

BIDEN, WHO MET WITH HUNTING GROUPS TODAY, AND THE N-R-A,

IS EXPECTED TO RECOMMEND A NEW BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS AND LARGE CAPACITY CLIPS

AND SETTING UP A STRONGER BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM.

NO EXCEPTIONS FOR GUN SHOWS AND THE INTERNET MARKET WHERE 40% OF GUNS GET SOLD NOW WITHOUT ANY CHECK TO STOP SALES TO CRIMINALS OR THE MENTALLY ILL.

A MASS SHOOTING SURVIVOR SAYS CHANGING THAT IS JOB ONE.

"Not taking guns from every american. Not removing the second amendment from everybody. That's not what we're taking about. We're talking about making sure guns don't get in the wrong hands. And how do we do that? That's a background check."

IN THE WAKE OF THE MOVIE MASSACRE IN AURORA.

"If assault weapons and rifles"

"were NOT allowed in this country - my son would still be alive."

FORECAST-WX WALL

NEAR RECORD HEAT FOR ANOTHER WEEK

We broke the record yesterday with a high of 88 degrees. The old record was 85 set back in 1974. It also became the all time warmest day in January history for Southwest Florida.

High pressure is to blame for our near record heat. It's also keeping storms and cold fronts away from our area, and it'll continue to do so for at least the next week.

We will stay about 10 degrees above normal for the next few days. In fact, we'll be right around the record high of 86 degrees tomorrow afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually tie or even break that record.

Same story on Friday.

Through the next seven days, we'll stay warm with no good rain chances coming our way. It'll simply be partly sunny each afternoon with highs in the lower to mid 80s after starting off around 65 to 70 degrees.

As mentioned above our rain chances are very low. I don't expect any showers or storms for us, but with this type of heat one or two rogue showers cannot be completely ruled out. We all discovered that on Tuesday!

SLEEPING PILLS FDA-VO IN POP

THE FDA IS REQUIRING MAKERS OF AMBIEN AND SIMILAR SLEEPING PILLS TO LOWER THE DOSAGE OF THEIR DRUGS.

THE REQUIREMENT IS BASED ON STUDIES SUGGESTING PATIENTS FACE A HIGHER RISK OF INJURY DUE TO MORNING DROWSINESS.

SLEEPING PILLS FDA-PKG

nats

A WELL TRAVELED ROAD TO A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS PROBLEMS BEHIND THE WHEEL ACCORDING TO THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION.

"The FDA advised that current manufactures of sleeping pills, particularly Ambien or Zolpidem, should reduce their dose."

CUT BY ONE-HALF FOR FEMALE PATIENTS, WHO METABOLIZE THE DRUG MUCH SLOWER THAN MEN.

"They found that current medication levels were a little high to impair driving risk in the morning."

RESEARCHERS AT OHIO UNIVERSITY HAVE USED A DRIVING SIMULATOR TO STUDY THE ISSUE.

"It's actually just as bad as drinking and driving."

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DRIVING INCIDENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EFFECTS OF SLEEPING PILLS.

"I remember getting on the highway, and then I have no memory."

KERRY KENNEDY HAD AMBIEN IN HER SYSTEM AFTER AN ACCIDENT. SO DID HER COUSIN. CONGRESSMAN PATRICK KENNEDY WHEN HE CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER IN 2006.

AFTER MIXING ALCOHOL AND AMBIEN, A WOMAN IN TEXAS SAID SHE HAD NO MEMORY OF RUNNING OVER A MOM AND HER TWO YOUNG GIRLS.

AND IN ILLINOIS, 12 HOURS AFTER HE TOOK 4 AMBIEN. A DRIVER CRASHED INTO A CONSTRUCTION SITE. KILLING ONE AND INJURING THREE OTHERS.

DOCTORS STRESS THE NEW F-D-A REQUIREMENTS SHOULD SERVE AS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR PATIENTS.

"People should if they take these medications should kind of know in their own mind what the drowsiness effect is and how long it affects."

01;04;34;57 WE DO TEND TO SEE ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE-- CONVENTIONALLY

ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE, WE SEE THEM AS HAPPIER, WE SEE THEM AS WARMER, IN FACT,

A FEW STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THEY EVEN GET LOWER PRISON SENTENCES OR DONT

GET CONVICTED AT ALL.

CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN WE SENT OUT A CAMERA CREW WITH MAUREEN, ALL

DOLLED UP AT FIRST, IN NEED OF HELP ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK.

PEOPLE NOT ONLY STOPPED TO HELP - THEY OFFERED TO TAKE HER WHERE SHE NEEDED

TO GO!

THEN CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MAUREEN DRESSED DOWN - WITH GLASSES, AND

WITHOUT MAKEUP.

NAT excuse me?

HARDLY ANYONE STOPPED TO HELP. AND WHEN THEY DID - THEY DID SO WITH

RESERVATIONS,

SOT MAUREEN

01;04;53;05 I WAS DEFINITELY SUPRISED BECAUSE I DONT NORMALLY WEAR MAKEUP

WHEN I GO OUT, AND I DONT REALLY LOOK AT THE REACTIONS THAT PEOPLE ARE

GIVING ME. AND WHEN I DID THIS EXPERIEMENT I REALLY SAW HOW DIFFERENTLY I

WAS TREATED BECAUSE OF HOW I LOOKED.

FOR SO MANY OF US GIVING UP OUR BEAUTY REGIME IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

MOS's

I let my family and close friends see me without makeup but very few other

people.

I order my mascara from japan and it is the only mascara that i'll wear.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GO WITHOUT MAKEUP?

I DECIDED TO TAKE THE PLUNGE AND TAKE IT ALL OFF.

NEAR RECORD HEAT FOR ANOTHER WEEK

We broke the record yesterday with a high of 88 degrees. The old record was 85 set back in 1974. It also became the all time warmest day in January history for Southwest Florida.

High pressure is to blame for our near record heat. It's also keeping storms and cold fronts away from our area, and it'll continue to do so for at least the next week.

We will stay about 10 degrees above normal for the next few days. In fact, we'll be right around the record high of 86 degrees tomorrow afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually tie or even break that record.

Same story on Friday.

Through the next seven days, we'll stay warm with no good rain chances coming our way. It'll simply be partly sunny each afternoon with highs in the lower to mid 80s after starting off around 65 to 70 degrees.

As mentioned above our rain chances are very low. I don't expect any showers or storms for us, but with this type of heat one or two rogue showers cannot be completely ruled out. We all discovered that on Tuesday!
