A chemical spill in Danville tonight is blocking traffic as officials try to determine how dangerous it is.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Danville;]

The spill happened about six this evening on Route 29, just north of the state line.
The driver of a tractor trailer noticed chemicals leaking from the side and the back of the truck. He pulled over, and called authorities.
About 20 members of Danville's fire department, police department and HAZMAT teams are still trying to determine WHAT chemicals were spilled and HOW MUCH.
The truck was carrying several different kinds of chemicals, including sulfuric acid, that COULD pose a health threat.

It's an unsolved mystery. West Virginia State Police are still investigating the disappearance of Robert Kovack....he's the Virginia tech student who has been missing for over a year. While State police have received a few leads, none have produced any useful information. In this week's Virginia Newsreel, Keith Humphry revisits the case.

He was last seen withdrawing money from a Blacksburg automatic banking machine on September 18th 1998. Officials believe he was headed to West Virginia for a college football game. He never made it. Authorities found Kovack's red Geo Tracker abandoned along Route 19 in West Virginia four days later. There were few clues . They said there was no evidence that a struggle took place inside or outside the car. They suspect his vehicle ran out of gas and he may have gotten into someone else's car.
With little to go on, Authorities searched the mountainous terrain around the New River Gorge Bridge. It wasn't easy.

43- year- old David Marthouse is living his lifelong dream.
Three years ago, the New Jersey native bought tiny WODI radio in Brookneal, and now spends his days hosting a morning show, recording commercials and keeping the small thousand- watt station on its feet.
