did. >> a shocking praise from a conservative radio host, and you will hear her side of the story. and will this surveillance tape bring police any closer to solving a missing case in missouri. the hunter for baby lisa. those stories are right here, right now on cnn. it is almost dawn in the middle east, and when the sun comes up, it will show cities and villages in the eastern part of turkey pulverized by a major earthquake. rescue workers are racing nonstop through the night to reach the victims buried under dozens of collapsed building in the city of van. with e no e that 138 people did not make it out alive. that death toll is expected to keep rising. we have a reporter on the scene and spoke us to by phone about the extremely difficult circumstances facing the rescuers and survivors.

and nevsin mangu talking about how people were frantically searched for under the rubble. to recap the quake a magnitude 7.2, and at least 130 people are known dead and hun hundreds more are injured. we will be covering this tragedy through the night and bring you the latest information as our folks arrive on the scene and describe what is going on and the international efforts of the communities responding to what could be a crisis. well, libyans have waited decades for freedom, but sunday celebration of that achievement was tainted for some by the gruesome images of moammar gadhafi's final moments. many wanted him brought the justice, and few expected him to meet such a grim end. cnn's dan rivers has the report from triply, and we have to warn

you that some of the pictures may be disturbing. >> reporter: with liberation just declared, questions about moammar gadhafi's death won't go away. this video obtained by reuters purports to show the ambulance carrying gadhafi's corpse mobbeded by fighters. this man claims to have killed the former dictator, and another screams he witnessed that shooting. neither seems remorseful, and cnn could not independently confirm these claims. this video also emerged over the weekend, showing a gun being brandished near gadhafi's head and images that throw into question the tran dissional government's claims that the former dictator was killed in the crossfire after he was captured. his body was on public display for two days until it was removed for autopsy and then returned to cold storage for further viewing. the autopsy concluded he had been killed by a shot to the

head, but it is not clear if that shot was at close range. the specific details of the report have been passed to libya's top general, and havet not been released. they say they would treat gadhafi's body with dignity, but now he and his son have been turned into a ghoulish freak show for people waiting for hours to see the former dictator. his death has tainted the declaration of the independent in ghazi, and mr. abdul jalil told a crowd of tens of thousands that tolerance and forgiveness and peace would be necessary, but it rings hollow for the scenes of gadhafi's last minutes alive. cnn, tripoli. >> well, tonight what could be a break for the family in the case of baby lisa seen here in a home

video. the 11-month-old from kansas city, missouri, has been missing for 19 days. now this surveillance video may offer new leads for the investigators, because cnn has learned that the fbi is looking at it closely. sandra endo is at the irwin home where family members held a vigil for the baby lisa, and what does the video show and what does it suggest? >> well, deb, we can tell you that cnn has obtained that surveillance video from the gas station which is less than a mile and a half from baby lisa's home, and in that video, it shows an unidentified man walking down the street at 2:15 in the morning of october 4th, the morning baby lisa disappeared from her home. authorities specifically the fbi and the police department are not commenting specifically on that videotape, but they do tell cnn that author i ares are lo--s are looking at video from all

around the area, and this is speculation, but this video could match witness testimony saying that people saw a man walking in the dark carrying a baby in a diaper that morning she disappeared and the gas station owner we spoke to says that it is very unusual to see somebody walking down the street at that hour. now, also, new today, deb, we can tell you that a lawyer for the parents is speaking out in reaction to authorities investigating inside baby lisa's home on wednesday and they say that that search was necessary because of a cadaver hit on the scent of a dead body, but here is the lawyer's reaction. >> there is thankfully no destruction and no walls torn out, so whatever x-ray did not confirm whatever some dog thought it smelled. the police have a very difficult job, and they have to start at the center of the world that

this little girl lived in. >> now, just a couple of hours ago, deb, an emotional debra bradley and jeremy irwin actually came back to this home. they are right now staying with relatives a short drive from here, but they came back to the home for a special candlelight prayer vigil in front of the home, and family members came out and they say they all remain optimistic that baby lisa will return. >> thank you, sandra. what is interesting is that clearly a lot of suspicion initially had fallen on the family, and the cadaver dog getting that hit in the bedroom, and this video obviously presents an alternative, and this video suggests what the family has maintained which is somebody kidnapped the baby and as a matter of fact you look at the shirts they are wearing at the vigil and it says kidnapped.

>> yes, absolutely. that is what they are all saying and of course, the author is the have not ruled out anything. they are following hundreds of leads and as you can imagine the publicity around this case is widespread and billboards up and around the area trying to find the missing baby, but there is witness testimony out there saying that people saw a man walking in the dark carrying a baby. they are not ruling anything out. authorities say that they can't say anything as of right now, because the investigation is ongoing, but they are of course chasing many, many leads. >> all right. sandra endo for us there in missouri. thank you so much for bringing us the latest on this story. well, we are also following the disappearances of 5-year-old jesse shockley. investigators believe she wandered out of the family's apartment in suburban phoenix two weeks ago. her siblings were supposed to be watching her. sunday, her grandmother and aunts spoke to our t. jchlj. ho

and the family is upset about the lack of national attention to the case. >> there is no way to stop looking for a 5-year-old child that come up missing after two days. when i first arrived from california, i was so happy i saw the command post and all of this activity was going on, but not once did i see somebody going through that house which i just assumed they probably did before i got there, but i -- they was just sitting at the command post every day all day. and then after the day after i got there, they just left, you know. they told me that they was ending it and moving the command post. but you don't stop looking for a child after two days, and take an amber alert down after two days and just -- and we don't hear anything else from anyone over a week until i just was outraged about it, and started speaking out.
