the police put out, showed a different man, not kalil tatum? >> a strange video. foggy, from a metro area it doesn't seem to be leading any closer to where ralisha might be. a deepening mystery. >> tom morris has been involved in criminal investigation and reporting on it in so many ways and comes in and advises us as well. we hear tips, how could they give up search something? >> he may have taken the only whereabouts. this is a big metropolitan area. he had time from the time he purchase the plastic bags and lime and shovel. he had time to depose of her body from the pot om acriver to other tribute areas to other

parks. they have no where to look without any credible tip that says go look here now. they kept calling him dr. tatum. at one point, the police said that he was in the care of dr. tatum. when i spoke to the grandmother saying how did the police end up thinking that he was a doctor caring for ralisha? she said at one point, i wrote down his name as mr. taylor, she says and it may have looked like dr. tatum. >> she was demonstrating for you how that could have been confused. what do you hear about this doctor tatum, mr. tatum? >> that's just not true what she told you because shamika young told the police when confronted. >> shammic a. >> where is your daughter? she said, she is with a dr.

tatum. that was a lie. what mother is going to lie to police about something that is so easily disproven, that he is a january ter now he is alon. >> questions about money, the family's relationship to a little pot of money that they got quite recently. >> i was astounded as i am sure you were when i saw these facebook pictures of shamika young's boyfriend, antonio wheeler on facebook a wad of money in his teeth and fanning out $50 bills two weeks after ralish wentmitsing and talking about going shopping for tennis shoes for the siblings of ralisha. i was astounded. what is going on here? if these people are down and out, why are they rolling in money while this disappearance disappearance is going on? >> you heard the grandmother say there had been a car accident a year

ago today it doesn't explain why he would be demonstrating it on facebook. thanks very much? >> thank you. >> after the break, on america tonight, the terror they won't forget i am going to be haunted by that vision of my best friend getting stabbed in front of me. >> by a suburban pittsburgh teenager and hints about what might have been behind it.

if anything, the day after police arrested a 16-year-old student in a slashing and stabbing rampage inside a suburban pittsburgh high school, there were more questions than answers. in all, 21 students and a security guard were hurt. one of the students remains in critical condition while others in mur easeville pa try to piece together what happened and why. >> i am never going to look at that hallway again. i am always going to be haunted by that vision of my best friend getting stabbed right in front of me. >> one day after the horror in the hallway, franklin regional high school remains closed and the kids who went to school with 16-year-old suspect alice rival traded stories about the chaos and terror just as the school day got underway. >> i was so surprised i could

barely move because i got stabbed in the back and it was just had to have help going to the next room. >> the fire alarm went off. i was walking over towards the exit, and it was blood all over the floor. >> blood root where the double dollars are all over the wall. >> police say he used two large kitchen knives which he plunked into victims at ram.com. the most seriously wounded, a 17 kwlooeld struck mil meters from his aorta. a brave tackle by assistant principle steve king that ended the ordeal. >> mr. king immobilized him, pinned him down. i jumped on top of him as well and just held down his wrists and arms. >> cuffed by a school security guard, he reportedly told police he wanted to die but so far, no clear motive for either family. >> my first thing, everyone

injured today, i hope they recover as quickly as possible. >> they are puzzle pulled. they never saw this coming. family. >> his lawyer told the associate press his client had no history of mental illness and had never been in trouble before. >> he's confused, scared, depressed. you know, within the next few days, we will try to figure out what the heck happened here. >> he has been charge did as an adult with four counts of aattempted homicide and 21 counts of assault. >> officials paraded bravery ofstuents who pulled a fire alarm. others rushed in to the aid. >> there are a number of heroes. students who stayed with their friends and did not leave their friends. >> a shaken community gathered to pray for the victims and for answers. described by his school mates as quiet, something of a loaner he is now being held without bail.

>> our investigation will be lengthy. it will take time until we get everything put together to solidify the case. we hope keep you updated as we go a violent attack. the motive a mystery joining us is carla car well, the co-founder of something called the one patient global health initiative help us to try to understand because so many people are trying to. why a young person would do something like this and then immediately announce, qua i want to die"? >> i certainly thing that is the question of the day. and, you know, such a tremendously difficult thing for these families involved including his. but i think that one of the things that i heard today on the news was the school add miles per hour straighter identifying that there was absolutely no bullying involved as well as this young man's attorneys, and i am thinking i would be allegations less inclined to

dismiss that so quickly given ib the fact that there are an awful lot of signs that are pointing towards that way. i believe that there were some stories earlier that came out from some of the students that said, in fact, this young man was being bullied and if we take a look at it from a bullying standpoint, some of the things we saw, his flat affect where he may have very well just disconnected himself from the physical violence of what he was actually perpetrating at that point in time. >> can i talk to you there and affect"? >> sure. just an absolute flat affect in terms of where he showed no emotion. i think that has been something that's resonated multiple times throughout these interview processes is that this young man showed no emotion. and that was more frightening to some of theon lookers than the actual act, itself frightening he had become at that point. this young man who was otherwise so quiet and reserved. >> to get to your other point

about whether there may have been bullying or things that were not seep n some sense, does this haveto with maybe kids, maybe other kids have a better perspective of what's going on en if they are not close to a particularstuent? they might have a better prospective than administrators? how is that possible? >> that's a good point. the fact is over 30% of the students in the united states have identified that they, in fact, have participated or been a victim of bullying. what teachers come to school in the morning they do an amazing job but they start out as social workers. every chinaing in there has an issue. so oftentimes, they have 30 to 35 children in a classroom. and what you will see is the children who are the top achievers and the children who struggle the most are typically the ones that gain the attention of the teachers.

there is an 80% range in there that by no fault of the teachers they are not engaged with those students because there is no problem with them. carl a while, we appreciate you joining us here tonight. >> not a problem. thank you. the city of albuquerque has one of the highest rates of police shootings. police have shot and killed 24 people. two happened in the last two months. today in a scathing report, the department of justice disagreed with that assess: heidi jo castro has been following the story from albuquerque. reporter: the department of justice has been investigating albuquerque police department for a year and a half. the findings released today was
