view of human evolution and your family tree. that and more right here, right now on cnn. >> good evening, everyone. i'm don lemon. is he a mass murder, accused of massacring sleeping children in afghanistan while he wore a u.s. army uniform. it is robert bales we are talking about and we have a picture of him as a senior in high school, years before he took his military oath to serve our country. you'll see it in moments. military brass say bales a u.s. army sergeant walked house to house opening fire on afghan villagers. when the rampage ended 16 people were dead. tonight, susan candiotti has gotten exclusive access to some of the people that know robert bales best and the image they paint of the man is not that of a mass killer. susan is standing by in ohio, the soldier's home state. you have been talking to a man
10:02 pm
who had a sperp relationship with robert bales. who's the man and how did he know bales? >> this man's name is bob durham. he goes way back to know this family. in fact, he knew sergeant bales ever since he was a little baby. he has a special relationship because he says that sergeant bales, when he was a teenager, always took care of mr. durham's very special son. he's a special son because he's severely disabled, and even though he said that bales was a very popular football player, for example, he wouldn't think twice of taking this young man out. was never embarrassed to be with him and really took care of him. was a given person, don. >> does bob durham think that bobby bales therk bobby bales he knows could be capable of this sort of action? >> reporter: are you know, he says, he said he can absolutely not fathom how this possibly
10:03 pm
could have happened. he said the man he knew was a caring young man who he knew through adulthood and when he worked in the business world and went on to serve in the military after 9/11. he said that if something somehow caused him to snap for example. no one knows exactly, he said. that if doctors are able to find out and get him to understand that in actuality that children and women had been killed, that he doesn't think that his friend sergeant bales would ever be able to come to grips with that, could ever change. don? >> the last time he spoke to him is in december. it's been fairly recently, correct? >> that's right. he called him because sergeant bales called mr. durham from afghanistan to console mr. durham, to console mr. durham about he loss of his own father. he felt very badly about it. he said they still have a very
10:04 pm
special bond. he's close to sergeant bale's entire family. when he heard the news, he's trying to make sense of it like everybody else. here's part of what he told me. >> i love the guy. he's a part of my family. he's been i've known him since the day he was born. it crushed me. it crushed me. regardless of what happens, bobby has been changed forever. if the bobby that i knew ever gets well, comes back to it and realize what's happened and realizes that children and women were killed, i don't think he can live wit. he will never be the same, and he's such a great person. that just -- that crushes me.
10:05 pm
i don't know. >> susan, he must have a lot of questions of his own about what exactly did happen. >> reporter: that's right. i think they are some of the same questions that a lot of people have. for example, he didn't know about this injury that he had where sergeant bales lost part of his foot in an explosion overseas. he also didn't know about this apparent brain injury that he suffered. so he wants to know, like so many other people do, if he had these injuries why was he sent back on active duty? he's looking for answers like everyone else is. >> susan candiotti. thank you very much for that. coming up, a man who said he was held in iraq for months. we're going to get the latest from him, a u.s. army member as a matter of fact. teenager shot to death while walking in a florida gated community. >> the person is dead laying 0

10:09 pm
claims self defense. our legal analyst holly hughs calls what happened shocking. >> i don't know why this man hasn't been arrested. >> that's the first thing you said to me. >> i'm a defense attorney now but i can look at a situation and say every report that has come out has told us this young man was unarmed and now we hear the tapes and what did the police dispatcher say to george zimmerman. do not follow him. we do not need you to do that. he is given strict instructions to leave him alone. the police will investigate. instead he continues to follow him and this poor child ends up dead. >> people are saying we don't know who it is on the 911 who's screaming for help. after the shots there are no more cries for help. >> ask yourself this. one guy has a gun and one guy doesn't have a gun. who do you think is yelling for help? come on. this young man goes to the store to buy skittles for his younger
10:10 pm
brother and next thing he is shot dead because he looks suspicious. really? what does that mean? >> let me ask you, you work these cases. why hasn't he been arrested. >> i have no idea. i can't think of why he hasn't been arrested. typically if it is a whodunit case, you don't want to arrest because of a speedy trial but here we know whodunit. >> you said one was armed and one wasn't. to you it is one plus one equals two. is there something fishy going on. >> it stinks to high heaven. zimmerman had charges against him dropped when he committed violence against the police. >> this neighborhood watch captain, holly, he had a gun and none of this would have happened if he had not approached trayvon martin and when you said he was told by the 911 operator not to approach, how much will that play in it to?
10:11 pm
isn't that a big factor when they say we told you not to do it. >> of course. it goes to intent. every crime has to have an action and intention. this shows the intent of zimmerman, the defendant, right, the shooter. he's not a defendant yet, excuse me. he should be a defendant but he is not yet. that shows his intent. he was looking for a fight. he went after this young man, even after the 911 dispatch said do not follow him. >> that was holly hughs. meantime, let's talk about the politics now. the republican presidential hopefuls have been out and about on this st. patrick's day. rick santorum had seven events scheduled across missouri and illinois and he didn't hold back in his criticism of mitt romney. >> he gives away that issue. he put forward a bill that was the model for obamacare and advocated that at the federal level. and then denied that he did it.
10:12 pm
not only is his policy bad, you can't trust him to tell the truth about what he advocates. >> for his part, mitt romney wrapped up a quick swing through puerto rico today and headed to illinois for an event that wrapped up a few hours ago. romney said he is optimistic about a win in the puerto rico primary tomorrow. illinois will hold the primary on tuesday. meantime, overseas a developing story out of iraq. u.s. state department official confirms the united nations transferred a u.s. citizens to the u.s. embassy in baghdad. how he got to iraq and where he's been is raising a lot of questions. earlier today, a man identified by the name of randy michael met with reporters alongside political leaders. he did not provide his name but he said he deployed to iraq in 2003 with. deployed to iraq in 2003 which would lead you to believe he is a member of the u.s. military. he said he moved to a civilian job and was taken hostage last year.

10:24 pm
human. they are a relative but they don't come from the direct line of modern man. this is a sketch that you are looking at of what they may have looked like. they are being called the red deer cave people and they were found in two caves in china. they got the name because they like to eat a lot of deer meat. there was evidence in the cave that's cooked venison. they are unrelated to any other members in the human evolution tree. let's talk about the tree. they have prominent brow ridges, thick skull bones, flat upper faces and broad noses, the jaws jutted out and the cheekbones flared out widely. that was to create more space for larger chewing muscles. so that's the first part of this. the second part is how young they were. surprisingly young. this dates back to somewhere between 14,000 and 11.5 thousand years ago. that's like the end of the ice age. while that may sound old it is actually very young. we are talking about the
10:25 pm
youngest population ever to be found anywhere in the world that doesn't fit within the range of modern humans. >> really? >> yeah. >> so when they say there is nothing new under the sun, maybe not so. >> maybe not so. they probably walked the earth at the same time as early chinese farmers. we don't know the they interacted with each other or maybe competed with each other for resources thach will do dna tests and see if it is a hybrid or new species. >> maybe it is a link that we don't know. we don't know everything. >> a lot we don't know, especially about evolution. >> that's why we say it is a mystery. the next mystery involves a box that some say contain the bones of jesus, right? this went to court, as well to prove authenticity. >> this is jesus' brother james. from evolution to creationism. you may have heard about this case. we have to go back ten years to get to the beginning of this thing. this san israeli collector.
