Good morning, Escondido.

The family of North County teenager Adam Ashley said his 1979 murder at Torrey Pines State Beach has left them searching for answers over four decades—as police continue to ask for tips because the DNA evidence remains unusable.

The Escondido City Council approved updated building codes May 14 — the new state fire hazard map adds moderate and very high hazard zones to guide development.

Under the new codes, projects in these zones must use fire-resistant materials — a rule aimed at reducing wildfire risk, city officials said.
