Nats
CHARLOTTE COUNTY DEPUTIES SAY MICHAEL MANGIERO HAD BEEN STALKING THE WOMAN FOR MORE THAN A MONTH.
"I actually saw the guy two times myself speeding by our office complex. As soon as he saw me he kept going driving right off." Nicholas Santiago, Witness
NICHOLAS SANTIAGO, WORKS WITH THE VICTIM WHO DIDN'T WANT US TO SAY HER NAME.
HE WOULD WALK HER OUT TO HER CAR JUST IN CASE THE MAN WAS IN THE PARKING LOT.
"You never know how these things proceed. There are a lot of crazy people out there and we wanted to make sure we took every precaution." Nicholas Santiago, Witness
DEPUTIES SAY MANGIERO NEVER MET THE VICTIM AND WOULD DRIVE BY HER WORK, FIRST IN A BLUE VAN AND THEN IN THIS WHITE VAN.
ONE TIME, HE GRABED HER AND ASKED IF SHE WAS HAVING CAR TROUBLE.
STANDUP "Last month, Mangiero was trespassed from this convenience store after the business owner said he would wait in the parking lot and approach females asking them for sexual favors in return for money."
AND LAST YEAR, AN 18-YEAR-OLD WOMAN TOLD DEPUTIES MANGIERO FOLLOWED HER.
"stalkers thrive on secrecy so talking about it is the most important thing you can do." Anita Kos, Crime Victim Advocate
CRIME VICTIM ADVOCATES SAY IT'S RARE TO HAVE A TOTAL STRANGER FOLLOW YOU.
IF YOU ARE A STALKER'S TARGET, KEEP A LOG OF WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCUR AND TAKE NOTES TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PERSON.
MANGIERO IS OUT ON BOND, BUT SANTIAGO HOPES THE ARRESET PUTS AN END TO EVERYTHING.
"She actually saw him driving by yesterday before he got arrested. We have not seen him today yet." Nicholas Santiago, Witness

AND TONIGHT ABC7 CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW IT WILL HIT SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. POSSIBLY SHUTTING DOWN THREE AIRPORTS.
THOSE ARE PAGE FIELD, THE NAPLES AIRPORT AND THE PUNTA GORDA AIRPORT.
CONGRESS MUST ACT TO AVOID THE CLOSURES AND CUTS.
MORE THAN 1 MILLION WORKERS WILL LIKELY BE EFFECTED.
THE AUTOMATIC CUTS WILL ALSO REDUCE AIR-TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS.TSA OFFICERS AND COULD CAUSE LONG LINES AND FLIGHT DELAYS NATIONWIDE.

HOW ELSE WILL WE *ALL* FEEL THE IMPACT.
FIRST -- HIGHER BEEF AND CHICKEN PRICES.
FOOD SAFETY PROGRAMS ARE IN FOR A 51-MILLION DOLLAR CUT.
THE FORCED CUTS INCLUDE 400 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE HEAD START PROGRAM,
WHICH MEANS 70-THOUSAND PRESCHOOLERS FROM LOWER INCOME FAMILIES WILL BE FORCED TO STAY HOME.
THE SEQUESTER COULD ALSO WASH AWAY FUNDING FOR HOMEOWNERS AND SMALL BUSINESSES TO MAKE REPAIRS.
IF THE CUTS KICK IN, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ARE EXPECTED TO TRY TO AVOID MAJOR DISRUPTIONS IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS.

THESE DONATION DROP-OFF BOXES OUTSIDE GOODWILL ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM!!
ABC7 TELLS YOU WHY YOUR DONATIONS AREN'T REALLY GOING TO CHARITY. AND WHAT GOODWILL IS DOING.
WEATHER IS COMING UP.
Return to index of stories...
Unlike last weekend, this weekend will be quite warm. Even our morning temperatures will be on the warmer side of average as lows only cool into the mid to upper 60s. Fog will also continue to be an issue during the early morning, and mariners be advised we'll be watching for a good possibility for sea fog, too, as humidity continues to rise over a chilled Gulf of Mexico.
Daytime highs through the weekend should easily warm into the 80s for all areas except the coast, and our sky will be predominantly sunny with only fair-weather clouds developing through the day. Rain prospects will stay pretty low through the weekend, but there will be a slight chance for a few isolated inland showers Sunday afternoon.
A MAJOR change in the weather pattern will be in order by early next week as the next front swings into Southwest Florida, so look for increasing rain chances come Monday night into Tuesday. Some rain and clouds may even linger into Wednesday as the front makes its final push to the south, but we should see clearing skies and cooler weather by Thursday.
I call this a major change because models are hinting that the low pressure that brings us the inclement weather will stay through mid-March. I'm not worried about clouds and rain through the first half of March, but you will feel it when it comes to the temperatures.
So a big cool down looms for Southwest Florida in the near future.
