morning to the men and women watching us right now on the american forces network, our service members. thank you for being here. thank you for what you do. would you know, some of your fellow service members have figured out a trick to get a date with their favorite celebrity. justin timberlake is the late toast accept a date to a marine corps ball. the details coming up for you. but let's start with this. it's been three years of this case going on. now, casey anthony is a free woman this morning. there she is, just hours ago, walking out of a florida jail. this was just after midnight and 2 days after being found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter. as you can see her, she did, just walk out the front door with her attorney. she was found guilty as you know of lying to police, that got her that four-year sentence but you factor in time served, good behavior and she's out. after being in jail less than

three years total. cnn's david mattingly joins me now from orlando, florida. let's start with what may have been a surprise to many about the secrecy of the details of how she would be released, she just walked out the front door. >> that's right, t.j., it happened about 12:09 this morning, not much time elapsed from midnight before this all transspird. it seemed like it swould be the least likely scenario that she would walk out the front door, because there were hundreds, possibly up to 1,000 people outside to witness her departure, many of them shouting things, protesting her release, holding signs and yet she walked right out the lobby and straight into a waiting suv. she was accompanied by her attorney, jose baez. she was also guarded by sheriff's deputies and orlando police on horseback there. but it all took place in less than ten seconds from the time

she walked out of the secured door and into the suv. afterward, journalists who were embedded inside the jail to witness her departure had these things to say. listen. >> she walked out and when she walked out, she had a sign of relief on her face. she walked by one of the srt sergea sergeants, she thankd him and continued rapidly outside. >> she didn't have emotional. she wasn't smiling. she wasn't frowning. she didn't look like she was y joyful. >> two srt officers were behind her with green bulletproof vests. >> it was fairly quiet and then there was a burst of cacaphonic scream. >> police officers blocked traffic there. some of the crowd surged into

the road, seemingly trying to follow after the suv. but the vehicle was allowed to leave the area. it went into downtown orlando, to a parking deck at an office building where the office of one of her defense attorneys is. at that point it's believed she may have gotten into another vehicle, because that's where the helicopters that were chasing lost traffic her. and at this point she is in part -- at parts unknown, possibly in the state of florida, possibly not. for tonight, casey anthony is for the first time in almost three years, a free woman. t.j.? >> david, can you tell us, we have seen crowds gather outside the courthouse during this trial. you remember some of the scenes, people fighting over tickets and things to get inside. what was the scene like outside? we're showing some of the video here, people had signs up but how big of a crowd, how rowdy of a crowd? >> reporter: there were hundreds of people out there. the emotions seemed to be just

the same as what we had seen outside the courthouse, particularly after the verdict was read. this time there was a sense of a moment, a crescendo of emotion right there at the moment of release. people gathered there just for anticipating that event, they were prepared to shout the things they had been thinking about for the past couple of weeks. it was that moment, everything did transpire peacefully, again, there was a heavy police presence. there were a lot of officers on horseback to make sure the crowd stayed where they were supposed to stay and the suv casey anthony was in was able to leave without any problems what sofr. this transpired in a matter of seconds. she walked out, she got into a vehicle, the vehicle sped away on to the expressway. minutes after that, the hundreds of people that were there dispersed and presumably went home. >> david mattingly, we appreciate it. thanks so much. i want to turn to holly hughes,

an attorney who has been with us through almost all of the casey anthony trial. what is it like for you seeing that video knowing this is it as far as justice for caylee. the case of caylee is closed. unlike the o.j. case, the not guilty verdict, but then the civil suit came. this case is done. >> it's done, over with. it's a sad ending. what we had was a gorgeous 2 1/2 little girl. let's not forget that, t.j., she was the focus, she should still be the focus. the only thing i can say about this entire tragedy is we are see something good legislation proposed coming out of this. we are hearing about caylee's law which is if you do not report your child missing, which is what stunned us all, t.j., let's face it, that's why we were all so perplexed by this behavior. how do you lose a 2 1/2-year-old child and not report it?

even if you believe the accidental drowning, how are you not grieving, how are you not crying? we're seeing propositions for new legislation. that's the only way i can kind of live with that. i think it was a miscarriage. at the end of the day, the 12 people in the box are the only 12 that couldn't the. it's heartbreaking when you see someone who you think killed this baby. it's so sad to watch. >> i'm looking here. you forget some of the videos, the pictures of her. here's one of the home videos. this is all about caylee. it seems like it hasn't been the focus sometimes. what now? with casey anthony, when can she show her face in public again? what kind of life is she going to be leading here? >> she's in for a hard roads because she's not famous. she's infamous. it's for none of the right

reasons, let's face it. she is probably safe to say, the most hated woman in america. and she inspires the kind of rage because it was a child victim. people can sometimes, if you get away with murder, but it was a shooting, a drug deal gone bad, they're not happy about it. but they say, that's how the system works. when you're accused of murdering a precious 2-year-old who couldn't fight back, who couldn't defend herself, people are not happy about that. she's going to have to go into hiding for a period of time. she'll probably still get a publishing deal. a trial is the search for the truth. we searched an awful lot. we searched for six weeks, t.j. and we didn't find any answers. we haven't gotten any answers. we still want to know. she'll get a publishing deal. once it dies down, the publisher will bring her back out into the public to do this book. she'll be --

>> do you think she'll try to put on a show. >> sure. her greatest and only skill as far as we can tell is weaving a tell, making up a big tale. >> he said until she turned around at universal and said i don't really work here, she had me going. she can tell a tale. she might as well make money off of it. >> casey anthony, three years and a day after she was arrested for the disappearance and death of her daughter, now out of jail a free woman, found not guilty of killing her daughter. we'll take to you again here shortly. ten minutes past the hour.

something else people will be turning to and cheering about today, the usa women's team. they are in the world cup final today against japan. the u.s. favored in this game but certainly not the sentimental favorites. our zain vergee is in frankfurt, germany, showing us both teams had a tough road. >> reporter: the u.s. women's soccer team has not won the women's title since last century, since 1999. they could do it today. it's only a few hours away. the team sounding pretty confident when i spoke to them listened to what they had to tell me. >> america likes championships, winners, comebacks. we are the epitome of the american spirit. we're full of fighters, we play with passion. we feel all of the support back home. we feel the support around the world. and we feel powerful with that

support. i think we can take it into the final. >> obviously we're on the eve of one of the biggest games of our lives. but it's the game of soccer and we've done it thousands of times before. i know that the japanese team is excited and they're going to come to play. we have to play good soccer. we have to play gutsy soccer and we have to go for it. no time to hold back. this is the time to take risks and go forward. hopefully we can get the win. >> the team has had an incredible run. they played an amazing game against brazil in the 122nd minute, the very last minute of the game, they managed to score a goal and then ultimately won on penalty shootouts. they beat france, 3-1, to get them to this day. they're going to have to get through japan, though. the u.s. has never lost a match to japan in any world cup. it could be different this time because the japanese team here has some pretty amazing footwork. they are really skilled at passing that ball and keeping

possession. so this u.s. team is going to have to work pretty hard but they have the talent, the skill to do that. they have the hustle. the never say die attitude and they've got the stamina and strength in the way that none of the teams here have had. let's see what happens today. we'll keep our fingers crossed. the japanese are determined. they're looking for a good news story, a feel-good story after the devastation of the tsunami, the coach has been showing them pictures of the tsunami just to motivate them, right before they get out of the locker room and into the field. let's see how team usa does in just a few hours. t.j.? >> thanks with our zain vergee. we'll be checking in with team usa. some are calling it the biggest nonevent since y2k. that whole traffic disaster that never happened in los angeles. they were calling it carmaged n carmageddon, carpocalyps.

now you can call it car-ma-dud. people were predicting the worst. they expected, if you can't use the 405, people will try other routes around, it will cause a nightmare. so far that has not happened. people listened to all those warnings and maybe they just stayed home. we'll still keep a close eye on this for you. also, we'll stay in southern california where history was made at the san diego gay pride parade. for the first time, u.s. service members marched as an organized group. about 200 active duty troops and veterans took part. they were not in uniform but did wear t-shirts representing every branch of service. most of those rescued

chilean miners, you remember them, right? they have now filed a lawsuit against their government. of course, these guys were trapped 69 days underground after that mine caved in last august. they're asking for more than $500,000 each in damages but they say this suit is not about money. they said it's meant to pressure the government agency that oversees mining to tighten safety procedures. 14 past the hour. let's say good morning to reynolds wolf. we were talking about the dangerous weather yesterday, this dangerous heat, did it pan out how we thought it would. >> exactly what we expected. yesterday, let's back up a little bit, we talked about the heat and the possibility of severe weather in the upper midwest today. the heat back and we're expecting again the same possibility of weather. same story, same deal as yesterday. we'll see the heat begin to expand a bit more. some 16 states will deal with a watch advisory in terms of heat.

>> answer this question for me. would you rather be president of the united states or would you rather be a pop star? i'd rather be a pop star president. >> pop star president. >> a combination of both. >> that's pretty good. >> look at this. according to this poll, though, most men would rather be the president. they'd rather run the country than be adored by millions of fans. you see here they were asked whose job would you want to have? 33% said they'd want barack obama's. will ferrell, this kind of surprised me, 20%. he came in number two. prince william, that would be high on my list, quite frankly and tom brady. justin bieber. there's the list. how about women, would they rather live in the white house or be lady gaga or something like that? that answer when i come back. it's quarter past the hour, this sunday morning on cnn.

so to save some money, we taught our 5 year old how to dunk. woman: scholarship! woman: honey go get him. anncr: there's an easier way to save. get online. go to geico.com. get a quote. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

women, if they what about the women? check it out, yes, they would actually rather live in the white house than be lady gaga. this is the list here. 37% responded by saying yb yes, they would prefer to switch jobs with michelle obama than lady gaga, kate middleton or tina fey or lea michele. those are the numbers for you there. let me bring reynolds wolf back in now, talking about the heat that will continue for a little while. >> yes, through midweek. we don't see too many changes in the atmosphere. we have the big rage in the center of the country which will

allow some 16 states to deal with extreme heat. >> i feel silly sometimes. the heat is going to continue. it's summertime, yes, it's usually hot. this, we're talking about something extraordinary. >> extreme heat in places we don't normally see it. this is going to be a big deal we're talking about. some places will be prevalent in parts of the upper midwest. we're getting a chance of storms which may pop up by late in the afternoon. shah that occur, this will help you cool down immensely. todd billing will be your heat. places like minneapolis, st. paul, 94 degrees. 96 in the city, 93 in chicago, boston warm up by fenway park. 89 new orleans, 100 in dallas, 66 in san francisco. but we really are going to see later into the afternoon is the heat begin to pick up. high temperatures with the humidity, it will feel 110 to

120 for much of the upper midwest. we're talking about parts of wisconsin also. right here along parts of the mississippi river for the twin cities, we'll see some places, we show you the high of 94. wouldn't be surprised of downtown. you have temperatures that will go to 98 degrees by monday. tuesday, wednesday, even into thursday, we'll see that heat really being developed. still strong, prevalent in places like the twin cities. other places might cool down. most of it when you look at the big picture, much of it will begin to fizzle out by monday. it will stick around until thursday, i believe. >> reynolds, we appreciate you as always. plenty throughout the morning. >> republican presidential candidates are on board for what's being billed as a first of its kind twitter debate. we'll tell you about in your cnn political update. that's next, 20 past the hour on this cnn sun morning.

where someone is walking, have heart issues and they have to go to the hospital. you never know, is that a direct cause from the heat? >> a few years ago when you had the widespread people falling from heat exhaustion, heat stroke, that hasn't happened yet but it could happen. that's one of the weather stories we've been covering this morning. the second has to do with the possibility of strong storms. this morning people in the ohio valley, have had a rude awakening, especially in kentucky. southeast of cincinnati, due east of lexington, right along parts of i-79. some of the places south of maysville may experience flash flooding. we've had rain moving through. you see the training effects from other cells developing farther to the north. near florida, along the gulf coast, in alabama scattered showers. as we wrap things up in the upper midwest, rain forms in the dakotas by late afternoon there's a possibility we could have strong storms develop in this region.

>> the point of the keystone crusaders is pretty much to inspire goodness out of others by going around doing good things like picking up garbage, giving food and watter to the homeless, random acts of kindness and helping anybody out in any way they need it. >> you talk about picking up garbage, handing out food and water. but also this includes sometimes maybe just dropping some money into a parking meter of somebody whose parking meter has expired. >> yes, of course. the commonwealth always carries around a big roll of quarters. if we can save someone a $15 tick wet a quarter, that's a good thing we can do. that could have been their rent or food money. >> commonwealth, you could have done this by just walking around the streets and doing it in plain clothes. now what's with the superhero getup? why go that roult? . >> the superhero idea really

comes about because when a person sees a superhero, they see more than a person, they see an idea, something that might inspire them to, in the future, do something good themselves, not necessarily in a superhero costume but just to be good people. people see spider-man and they see good. >> i have to stay, tell our viewers, you all take this quite seriously. at least the part about keeping your identity hidden. there is no way i could get you to lift up that mask this morning, is it? >> no way. >> and it's not that we feel any real need to. it's more on principle. because if you see someone that you don't know who they are doing this, it could be anyone. and if it could be anyone, then there's no reason why it couldn't be you. >> mef me, one day i'd love to retire the helmet and the cape but as long as the city needs us, the people feel like they

need somebody out there to help them, that's how long we want to keep going. you know, as i say, till our legs give out. this is something that we feel our city of harrisburg needs and just the people itself. they need it. you can see it in their faces, since from when we began until now, their attitudes have completely changed. >> are you recruiting? >> anyone. >> anyone who really wants to help out. vigil has only been out with us twice. she's the latest person to join. there's some more people getting ready. anyone who wants to join us, why not? >> i had my own personal superheroes, people in my life who gave generously without asking anything in return. they didn't wear costumes, they were genuinely good people. and they're really part of the inspiration for this. their amount of generosity for no reason at all. they gained no benefit from helping me. but through their help i was

>> this team will fight until the bitter end to win. it's the american way, the american spirit. i think america is so behind us because you can feel that spirit and you can feel the fight in our team. we came into this tournament with one goal. it wasn't to beat brazil in the quarterfinal or to make it to the final. our only goal of the tournament was to win the whole thing. when you get this close, you'd have a lot of guts if you walked away and didn't win it all. >> the u.s. playing japan this afternoon at 2:45 eastern time. they're a good team. >> they're a great team. >> the sentimental favorite has to be japan in this match. >> look what the japanese have been through. i mean look at the japanese team. they can't even practice at night because of the nuclear crisis and the energy shortage. they can't light up the fields at night. they haven't been able to practice and japan has also been experiencing a huge heat wave. which has resulted in all kinds of interesting things happening,

including the wearing of cooling foam. >> yes, we talked about that. >> very fascinating. i hope we have it up there to show you. also, people are wearing suits that have pockets under the arms and in other strategic places where they can put cooling packs. they say necessity is the mother of invention. but with all this, the japanese have not used the weather as an excuse. the north koreans, however, when they played the u.s. at the end of june used the reason as, they said, that a lightning strike during practice struck five of the players and they had to be hospitalized is what they said, which is the reason they didn't win. >> that's a legitimate excuse. our players got hit by lightning. >> exactly. i thought i'd find our reynolds wolf, if he's here. >> magically i'm here. >> what are the chances of five

players being simultaneously hit by lightning? >> it's probably a little bit higher than a jedi mind trick being employed by someone else. actually back in june in camp shelby, mississippi they had a lightning strike that actually injured 77 cadets. >> wow. >> at one time. it can happen. is it likely, did it actually happen? we'll never know. >> how does that happen? the lightning hits the ground or something that they are all standing on? >> absolutely. one bolt can -- >> it gets better than this, do i have to toll you this part. >> bring it on. >> is that the north korean team have been accused of taking steroids and they say that it was the chinese medicine that they had to use the gland of a deer they had to use because of the lightning strike. >> you know, i've had many side effects from deer glands, we all have. to cause lightning strikes that would take out five people, i don't know. >> interesting. this is a team also that in june

of last year, the men's world cup soccer team, apparently the coach had an invisible phone we could speak to kim jong-il. this was a phone kim jong-il invented, the power of kim jong-il himself. >> i stayed with you on the lightning strike and the chinese medicine. you lost me on the invisible phone. >> the coach said i am speak together leader, kim jong-il and he has invented this invisible phone. the point was the force of kim jong-il was not with them. >> i have to answer my invisible phone. it's a collect. i'm not accepting the charges. i'm just going to go. >> reynolds, nadia, appreciate it. >> it will be interesting to see who the force will be with in the game against japan. >> 2:45 eastern time. we appreciate your expertise. we're getting close to the top of the hour. the unemployment rate went up last month. one option may no longer be there for some job seekers. that is the military. we'll explain why, next, stay

with us on this cnn sunday morning.

we're seven minutes from the top of the hour here on this cnn sunday morning. the unemployment rate for troops who have served since 9/11 is more than 13%. the national average is at 9.2%. a cnn pentagon correspondent chris lawrence reports those former troops may not be able to count on re-enlisting as an option. it's also tough for anyone looking to join up for the first time. >> yes, t.j., the job mark set horrible right now. anyone who thought that just enlisting in the military was going to be their quick fix to get out of that, they've got

another thing coming. >> remember when it wasn't so hard to get a job? or join the army? >> it didn't used to be. i really didn't think i'd have to search as hard. i'm glad did i. >> these recruits trained all winter just to stay in shape for boot camp they may not get to for a year. >> two minutes to stretch on your own. >> unfortunately they may be a little bit disappointed. >> dr. curtis gilroy is a personnel director at the pentagon. he describes a perfect storm that is quadrupled the time it takes to join the military. sky high civilian unemployment makes the military look more attractive. it also makes troops more likely to stay in. now factor in the services reducing their numbers to meet tighter budgets. some enlistees are forced to wait up to a year before they

leave for boot cam. >> how long does it take from the time someone says i want to join and they start making money. >> for the typical recruit the waiting time is between 9 and 11 months. it could be longer in some instances. >> that's a far cry from four years ago. when the average army recruit shipped off to boot camp 50 days after enlisting. >> how are you doing? >> today only one out of every four recruits gets an enlistment bonus and it's a fraction of what it used to be. >> the average bonus is only $8,600? >> that's correct. compare that with several years ago, when we paid about half of our new enlistees a bonus, on average, of over $14,000 >> military is still recruiting. >> it's more than a uniform. >> reporter: but it's more select selective than ever. >> we have the highest quality military we've had in about 20 years. >> reporter: it's very tough on

folks who got out of the military and now want to get back in. but some people are still getting those big bonuses and don't have to wait long. special forces, intel analysts, electronic maintenance technicians, those kinds of jobs are still in very high demand. t.j.? >> all right. thanks as always to our chris lawrence. thank you so much. coming up next, a flight attendant attacked by a passenger. and his weapon of choice? pretzels and peanuts. we'll tell you what happened to set him off. that's after the break. people s to do dumb things? man 1: send, that is the weekend. app grapgic: yeah dawg! man 2: allow me to crack...the bubbly! man 1: don't mind if i doozy. man 3: is a gentleman with a brostache invited over to this party? man 1: only if he's ready to rock! ♪ sfx: guitar and trumpet jam vo: geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance.

as we get close to the top of the hour, some stories we are following from across the country. we start in kentucky where a woman in court on domestic violence charges attacks the judge. >> you will be held in contempt of this court if you continue to disrupt it. >> i don't care. i haven't done anything to this court. i haven't done anything to him. >> she'll be arrested for contempt of court. >> maybe not the best way to prove your case that you're not a violent person, going after

the judge. that's melissa hardwick trying to jump over the bench to get to that judge. she would receive 120 days in jail for contempt of court. >> a man is accused of interference with a flight crew after an incident with a southwest airlines flight. a man began smoking an electronic cigarette on a flight. when the man was asked to put the device out he began to throw peanuts and pretzels and headed towards the flight deck door. of course when this flight landed he wasn't greed by his family. he was greeted by fbi agents and he was arrested. also take a look at this.

favorites in this match. details on all that this morning. but let's start with the case everyone has been intrigued by for some time. well, this is how it's wrapping up with the woman accused, casey anthony, free, walking out of jail this morning. walked out just after midnight and after 12 days -- 12 days after she was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter. she walked out the front door with her attorney. some of the details of how she would be released were kept secret by the sheriff's department. they opted in the end to let her walk out the front door. she was found guilty of lying to police, which got her a four-year sentence. you factor in time served and good behavior, she's out already, three years and a day after she was first arrested with the disappearance of her daughter. david mattingly, we were talking about yesterday, we didn't know the details, we talked about how many exits they had and the

possibility of sneaking her out thereof. they just opened up the front door. >> reporter: that's right. they had a number of contingency plans. it seemed like the least likely scenario would to be let her walk out the front door and confront all the people that were gathered outside. that's exactly what she did. there were several hundred protesters outside, they were very vocal, some holding signs. when it all played out, casey anthony walked out the front door with her attorney, jose baez, immediately into an awaiting suv and they sped off into the night. there were numerous officers there on horse back to prevent anyone from following. the vehicle went on to the local expressway, that was followed by news helicopters. they followed it to a parking deck. after that everyone seemed to lose track of her. there were people watching the airports. no one saw her departing specifically on any particular

flight. for now, casey anthony is a free woman and the entire event last night took just a few seconds. but there were a few journalists allowed to be inside the jail to record the event and watch her coming out and here's what they had to say. >> she walked out, when she walked out she had a sign of relief on her face. she walked by one of the srt sergeants, she thanked him and continued very rapidly outside. >> she didn't have any emotional. it was -- she wasn't smiling. she wasn't frowning. she didn't look like she was joyful. >> two srt officers were behind her with green bullet proof vests and semiautomatic weapons strapped on them. it was fairly quiet until she walked out and there was a burst of cacaphonic scream. casey anthony walked out of jail with a little over $500 in her pocket. that's money people from all

over the country have been sending her to put into her inmate account. this is money she used to spend on incidentals, cosmetics, candy, things like that while she's been behind bars. she's been getting money orders from places like iowa, canada, pennsylvania, while she's been there. she walked out actually with about $500 in her pocket. t.j.? >> one last thing here. describe the scene outside. we have seen chaotic scenes during the trial, even fights breaking out, people trying to get some of the coveretted seats to watch the trial. how was the scene outside last night? >> it was all very orderly, very controlled. people were very vocal, the same kind of emotions we saw after the verdict outside the courthouse in orange county, probably some of the same people were in the crowd again last night, all making it very clear they still want justice for little caylee. very upset with the fact that casey anthony is a free woman. but there were several hundred

there. they were all kept away by barricades. police officers on horse back and as soon as that suv was out of sight, most of those people immediately began to go home. >> david mattingly in orlando for us. we appreciate you as always. it's six minutes past the hour. let's turn now to something the country is going to look at and try to celebrate today. the women's world cup final happening today. the u.s. women after a couple dramatic victories taking on japan, no doubt japan the sentimental favorite after what that country has gone through the past few months after that tsunami and earthquake there. surprise japan is even in the final. the u.s. favored. not the sentimental favorite. japan had to beat germany to get to the final. germany, the host country as well. the u.s. going for their first world cup title since 1999. we'll be checking in live with the team in germany. zain vergee is there. we'll check in with her next hour. let's turn now to los

angeles where it's being called the biggest nonevent since y2k. you've been hearing this carmageddon, how about carmadud. this is the 405 being shut down for the weekend for construction. it's supposed to be up and running again on monday. that work is going on. we'll be able to bring you more pictures. the picture continues to change, some of the live pictures, video, no cars on is that strip. they thought if people, reynolds, can't use the 405 that's so busy, takes 500,000 vehicles on it every weekend. people will have to find other routes to go around l.a. that would cause a nightmare. it has been empty on some of the streets that were expected to be busy. >> everyone got the word. they must have. have you ever taken the 405? >> yes, no matter what time day or night it is not pleasant.

>> delightful. delightful. it's the very best that southern california has to offer. i do love l.a. but the 405 is atrocious. >> it's a nightmare. >> weatherwise in southern california it's usually pretty nice. a nice weekend there? >> should be nice from the san gabriels to the coastline. we expect for much of california, farther north you go, could see rain pacific northwest and strong storms developing in parts of the northern plains. speaking of rough weather, i already talked about the heat. let's hop over here for a few moments. we've been talking about, again, the tropics have been quiet for the time being. that may be about to change. the reason why is we see some development at this point, where this has the potential according to the national hurricane center, a 20% possibility of becoming maybe a larger system. maybe a bigger disturbance, a depressi depression. hurricane?

way too early to say so. there's a slim possibility this may form into a named storm. we'll watch it for you carefully. only a 20% possibility for the time being. there's a good chance of getting strong storms off the northern plains. all the components are there, the unstable air mass, the moisture. with the daytime heating we may see strong thunderstorms, hail, damaging winds. something else you'll be dealing with is the extreme heat and that heat also is going to be one of the catalysts that will help the storms pop up. the severe weather area, basically from the front range of the rockies from big sky country to parts of the northern plains and into the east -- rather the central and western great lakes. but one of the big components warm temperatures we'll have today, 96 your high in kansas city, 94 in minneapolis, 93 in chicago. with the high humidity, take a look at this, 110 to 120 for the upper midwest and into the north central plains.

let's toss it back to you. >> reynolds, appreciate you as always. talk to you again shortly. the casey anthony case started with the search for a missing little girl. the story of caylee anthony's disappearance and death is one of a long string of media stories that have focused on missing girls. white girls. i'm going to talk to a woman next who is trying to raise awareness about the large number of minority children who go missing in this country and get no media attention. that's next, ten minutes past the hour. ns. would you like to have a look at a map, my lad? ah, why not? shall we check on the status of your knighthood? yes. again? yes, again, please! thank you. with my digital manservant, i'll never be homesick again. would you like me to put the kettle on, sir? no, i'd like you to get rid of that ostrich. it's been here a month.

13 minutes past the hour on cnn sunday morning. the casey anthony case started with a story of a missing little girl. 2008, thousands of people joined in the search for missing 2-year-old caylee anthony. the media got hold of the story and didn't let go. people just couldn't seem to get enough of this drama surrounding the discovery of caylee's body and the trial of her mother, casey. you remember some of these stories, polly klaas, elizabeth smart, natalee holloway. what attracted the media to these stories? critics have given the trend a name, they call it missing white woman syndrome. according to the group peas in

their pods, a child is reported missing every 40 seconds in the united states and 42% of those children are african-american. how about this? can you name one of them? president of peas in their pods joins me now. you focus on minority children. are we in a day and age where an organization like yours is necessary and is that a shame? >> sadly it is necessary. and it is a shame. but it is definitely necessary, as you said, every 40 seconds a child is reported missing. 42% are african-american. this morning as people wake up i promise you they know more about casey anthony, they know more about lindsay lohan and j.lo's marital status than they do the names or faces of the kids you're scrolling. >> we are, we are show something of the names and face s of the kids from your website. >> i'll admit, i wasn't familiar

with your organization until it was brought to me by my team. how do you get the message out? >> we rely on a network of people to help us get the message out. we rely on every day people second out e-mails letting other people know children go missing. we do advocacy ourselves in getting the word out. >> who is failing? is it us in the media, because we pick and choose which stories and which kids we want to focus on. >> you know what, i would not blame the media solely for the fact we have this white woman syndrome as you called it. the media puts out what they believe the public wants to see. if the public isn't making you all aware they want to see a more diverse look at the kids that are missing of course you're not going to put it on. you don't think anybody will watch. it will take everybody in the commune to the stand up and let you know that kids like shaniya

davis, tyler thomas, these kids are important, too. >> i think this was a quote i read from you, the immediatey one thing but also the public, there's something out there where they just don't seem to value minority children or african-american children as much. what do you mean by that? >> i say that to say, because the community has not demonstrated an interest in it. then the media doesn't value these children. the magazines aren't going to put them on the covers because they're not going to sell, so they think. they're just not as valued because of that reason. can they be valued? >> absolutely. a couple of the kids we wanted to focus on, two names that people probably never heard. joshua davis. >> tell me about josh wanchs he's a toddler missing out of texas who went missing from his family's home. there were a number of people in the house. he's barely 2 years old, can't reach the door knob. somehow they're alleging that he got out and walked the streets.

the police say there are a number of pedophiles listed in the area. it's a convoluted case. where's joshua? >> tyler thomas. this is one i started reading the details sounded similar to some other stories i covered in the press. >> missing out of peru, nebraska, 19-year-old college student, out partying with her friends. we spoke with her friends she was with that night. typical college party. you know, a little bit of drinking going on. she left to go home by herself. somehow she got into a car with a 29-year-old gentleman who was attending the college as well. he's been arrested. he's saying they had consensual sex and then she later said she was going to tell everybody she was raped by him. she's never been seen since. >> one last thing. this is something i was talking to you about in the break and something a police officer told me in oakland, another thing about these missing minority kids cases is that minority

families often times are a little more skeptical of the police officers, of the media and are reluctant to step forward and demand that media attention, i'll do an interview, let me get this flyer out, let me make the phone calls where often times the middle class white families are more media savvy? >> that could be the case as well. also a lot of kid of color that go missing are listed as runaways. when they're listed as run aways the media won't touch them as much. those doors don't open for them. that's another problem when we talk about missing kids of color. there is ambivalence in certain communities to police, given the history. >> a lot of people might be shaking their heads. it's unfortunate that an organization like that is even necessary. but it suabsolutecy is. thank you for bringing it to our attention this morning. >> thank you, t.j. 19 minutes past the hour.

watching the watchers and getting arrested in the process. >> i'm observing what they're doing and they're arresting me. did i nothing. i did nothing. >> this is not the first time an incident like this has happened in one upstate city in new york. it's got people talking and police internal affairs looking into it. so are we, after the break. stay with us. ned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites... for greater access to all the things you want, whenever you want them. it's the at&t network... and what's possible in here is almost impossible to say. got the mirrors all adjusted? you can see everything ok?... just stay off the freeways, all right? i don't want you going out on those yet. and leave your phone in your purse, i don't want you texting. >> daddy... ok!

a woman in rochester, new york, videotapes a police traffic stop and moments later she's the one that ends up in handcuffs. look and listen to this. >> i'm observing what they're doing and they're arresting me. i don't understand what's going on. did i nothing.

i did nothing. i'm sorry. i was standing in my front yard, concerned about what was going on in my neighborhood and you're arresting me. what the hell is going on? >> now, emily good's arrest and similar incidents of citizens shortly after videotaping rochester police now ignited a debate whether the officers are retaliated against those they're sworn to protect and serve. they take issue of ms. good's interpretation of what happened and why. >> emily good was unwinding at home in her pajamas late one night in may when she and a friend noticed police stop a car -- >> the police union, as i bring in holly hughes here, our attorney sticking around to help us with this particular story. they're saying in that particular case that we just

saw, she was on her front yard, videotaping. the officer said i feel uncomfortable with you there. is that good enough? are you always supposed to follow the police officer's instructions? >> no. not necessarily. here's the thing. most of -- when an officer tells you to back away, most of the concern is officer safety. this is a lady standing in her own front yard. she doesn't have a weapon, t.j. it's not like she's holding a rake where she can lash out and hit the officer, not holding a gun and a knife. she has a cell phone. she's videotaping what happened. people have rights. they have constitutional rights, civil rights. she's standing in her yard. if she didn't say, i'm feeling uncomfortable. >> can he argue, it's dark over there, i don't exactly know what you're doing, just go up on your porch. can he make that argument.

>> you better believe he's going to make that argument. what other argument does he have? it's not as if they can't blame her and say she was impeding a law enforcement officer. certainly if he said to her, ma'am, can you back up ten feet, that would have been one thing. what he wanted her to do is stop videotaping him which raises the question why. >> my last 90 seconds here. this is key for everybody watching. we're talking about a particular town in new york, a particular incident. we all have phones with cameras now. what are our rights with if we're standing on a public sidewalk, a street, we hit that record button. but if an officer tells you to stop, what are your rights when you're out there? >> you have the right if it's a public place to continue to videotape that encounter. there is nothing that prevents you from doing so. i was a prosecutor forever. i don't want in any way to

encourage anybody to do something that's going to jeopardize anyone's life. if you're threatening an arrest, if law enforcement is feeling threatene threatened, innocent citizens can get hurt as well as officers. if the officer says back away or i'm feeling threatened or something like that, go ahead and comply. you do have the right to videotape what is out in public. called the right to privacy. there have been tons of supreme court cases on it. you don't have it out in public. if you put something on a public street, anybody can videotape it. if an officer says to you, back up, think about their safety and concern of others, back up ten feet. >> the lady that was arrested was charged and they later dropped charges against her. good to have you on this story and the casey anthony coverage. quick break. when we come back, the good doctor takes over. but i did.
