jeanne moos -- i can't get it out of my head -- ♪ hot girls have problems too except we're hot ♪ >> reporter: -- cnn, new york. that does it for me. thank you very much for watching. for our viewers in the united states, please be sure to join us every weekday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. eastern. the news continue also next. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hello, i'm don lemon. we're going to begin with a cold case three decades in the making. fbi investigators have relaunched the case of 6-year-old etan patz. he disappeared in 1979 just blocks from his new york home and hasn't been seen since. now new clues have prompted the fbi to give the calls a second look. cnn's susan candiotti. >> reporter: after ripping apart wall, jackhammering floors and carrying out chunks of cement,

the fbi and new york police are up to their elbows in dirt and dust. meticulously sifting through layers of soil six feet deep below a basement floor recemented in 1979. the same year 6-year-old etan patz disappeared. >> we're cautiously optimistic as law enforcement always is when it executes search warrants that they will find what they're looking for. >> reporter: looking for etan's remains who lived a half block from the search scene. his parents still live here. he vanished after his mom kissed him good-bye 33 years ago. he came straight out this door out decked out in a corduroy jacket. he can't wait to get to school. for the first time, his parents allow him to walk two blocks down the street this way to get to the school bus stop all by himself. along his route that basement where a law enforcement source say etan had been the day before with neighborhood carpenter

otheneil miller. this author says miller was no stranger to the patz family. >> they knew him. the family knew him. etan knew him. they were pals. and they actually would spend some time together. he was a carpenter and a handyman and sometimes etan would help him. >> reporter: when the fbi recently requestioned miller, a source says he blurted out, what if they moved the body? miller is not the only one being questioned. he's not being called a suspect. his lawyer says miller has nothing to do with etan's disappearance. >> mr. miller denies involvement with what happened to this beautiful young boy, and he is going to remain cooperative to the extent that's reasonably possible given this investigation. >> reporter: drifter jose ram moz, the boyfriend of etan's baby-sitter, has been a prime suspect, but was never charged. he's doing 20 years for molesting a child in

pennsylvania. a judge found raymos civilly liable for etan's death years ago and fined him $2 million. etan's father spoke about him at the time. >> this man stole away etan's future. and he should pay for it. >> reporter: after 33 years, his parents want answers, but for now as the note on the door indicates they also want privacy. >> susan candiotti. they have been searching in this basement since thursday. how much progress have they made? >> well, they're getting a lot of work done. they've stopped their efforts for the day. but this is after 2 1/2 days worth of jackhammering up, down the floor. tearing down dry wall. and now they say they're halfway down of the area they had been searching. sifting six feet down into the ground. digging that far down. now, i'm told that anything that they have been finding has been

sent to the fbi's main crime lab in quantico, virginia, and so far we have no word, don, of any conclusive results. >> susan candiotti, thank you very much for that report. turning now to afghanistan. the war in afghanistan. new documents suggest a rare but troubling problem among some troops serving there. eight soldiers have reportedly died from drug overdoses including heroin, morphine or other opiates over the past two years. an investigation over that time looked at 56 soldiers suspected of possessing, using or distributing those drugs. the papers also describe how they bought drugs from afghan soldier, civilians, including children, and even a private contractor. the u.n. security council passed a resolution today authorizing three unarmed observers to go to syria. the current mission is made up of just 30 observers. and that number seems hopelessly inadequate to the chaos across that country. this is homs where monitors visited today. the team was mobbed by people living in what has become one of

the world's most dangerous cities it the opposition says snipers killed five people there today. the government blames the ongoing violence on terrorists. we are waiting for the moment trayvon martin's shooter walks out of jail but now cnn is hearing it could take till the middle of next week. outside the jail, zimmerman's attorney spoke about his client's state of mind. >> -- focused on getting out at this point, you know, it's a long, long process. this is the first few steps of it. and he's still very worried about the fact that he's facing a life sentence on his second degree murder charge. >> david mattingly is outside the jail. why does his attorney now say he could still be in there for a few more days? >> a couple of reasons. mark o'meara tells us zimmerman's having trouble coming up with the $15,000 he needs to make bond. so at this point it's a problem with the finances. also, about security. these were all things that were

discussed in the bond hearing yesterday that was headlined by a very dramatic apology. with his freedom on the line, george zimmerman surprises the courtroom, taking the stand at his own bond hearing, and speaking directly to the parents of trayvon martin. >> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was a little bit younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> but attorneys for martin's parents call the apology self-serving. saying zimmerman had many chances to express remorse before now. >> all throughout the hearing, tracy martin had tears in his eyes as he watched the killer of his son. and it was devastating that he got to give a self-serving apology to help him get a bond. they were very outraged at that.

>> reporter: challengeled by the prosecutor on the timing of his apology, zimmerman says he told police he was sorry and wanted to talk to martin's parents but couldn't. >> why did you wait so long? to tell mr. martin and the victim's mother, the father and mother, why did you wait so long to tell them? >> i was told not to communicate with them. >> reporter: another surprise, the prosecutor's own investigator called to testify by zimmerman's attorney. he revealed they do not know who threw the first punch during zimmerman's deadly fight with martin. and voice testing has not determined who is heard shouting for help on the 911 calls. >> did you do any forensic analysis on that voice tape? >> did i? >> did you or are you aware of any? >> no. "the orlando sentinel" had someone do it and the fbi has

had someone do -- do -- >> that part of your investigation? >> yes. it is. >> and has that given you any insight to the extent that you're aware of it as to the voice? >> no. >> reporter: zimmerman can go free on $150,000 bond. but safety is a problem. as a security precaution, zimmerman's father, mother and wife all testified by telephone. >> i received hate mail. >> okay. have you reported that to the police? >> no, i haven't. >> have you reported that to the office so somebody can investigate it? >> no, sir. >> did you keep those threats? >> i'm sorry? >> did you keep that hate mail? >> yes. >> david, how did the defense do during that bond hearing? >> well, everyone observing feels he did very well. his defense attorney was able to get the prosecution to reveal some of the things they've been working on.

at this point the prosecution has only put out basic information what they were able to put in for probable cause, but this defense attorney was able to get them to reveal most specifically what they don't know and that was who threw the first punch in that fight that led to tray van martin's killing. >> david mattingly reported, florida. thank you very much, david. on to other news. he was the first of richard nixon's aides to be convicted of charges related to watergate. chuck coloso has died at the age of 80. he spent a short time in prison and reinvented himself. with an outreach program that has services in 130 countries. he suffered a brain hemorrhage and died from complications. it is an isolated incident or is it? or is it a culture in the agency? we'll explain that case straight ahead. and there is a critical

i tell you what i can spend. i do my best to make it work. i'm back on the road safely. and i saved you money on brakes. that's personal pricing. the colombian prostitution scandal has claimed more careers. three more has stepped down, making it six to lose their jobs. altogether, 23 secret service and military personnel have been caught up in the controversy. the u.s. military looks into 11 of its own troops. under the gun, secret service director mark sullivan. he promises a complete investigation into what happened

in those cart lahan hotel rooms. accused of partying with prostitutes ahead of last week's visit by president obama. earlier i spoke with a man in the secret service for 23 years. he served both president bushes and president clinton and i asked him if, in all of his years of service, he heard anything that came close to the current scandal. >> as you can imagine, the secret service is a mission-driven organization. with an absolute zero tolerance toward any type of personal misconduct by the agents and i never heard anything like that happening in my 23 years. >> you knew mark sullivan. how do you think he's handled this? he's been very outspoken about it. >> mark's a good friend. we went up through the ranks together. he is the ultimate public servant. he's an ultimate leader for the secret service. and has done a great job as the leader of the secret service. he and the other leadership of

the secret service will get to the very bottom of this, i can assure you, they'll turn over every stone to make sure they know everything about this incident and they will weed out the bad apples and they'll move on doing the great job they do. >> it's a high pressure job. >> no question about it. >> a lot of stress, right? the. >> a lot of stress, a lot of travel. >> were you in fact there when bush got the word of 9/11? >> i was with bush on 9/11, yes. >> you were with him? >> yes. >> when you think about it, you think about a stressful job, these guys may want to go and have a good time because they have so much stress, bros sta toougs is legal, not an cuse, you believe? >> nowhere near an excuse. the mission always comes first. it's a team oriented environment. when they're on a mission, somewhere in a foreign country, to protect the president, that's first and foremost. and there's no exceptions. there's no excuses. >> coming up in 15 minutes, our brian todd takes an investigative look into the culture of secret service agency. digs into past scandals.

and speaks to current and former agents. straight ahead here on cnn. you probably heard experts say the future of wavrfare isn' on land or at sea, it's in cyber space. as our rene marsh reports, there aren't enough of them to keep up with the threat. >> reporter: the federal government says the consequences could be devastating. they say a huge economic loss for the u.s. economy in the billions or even bodily injury is not a stretch. but recruiting cyber experts to prevent such cyber attacks has been challenging. they're on the front lines defending america from cyber attacks. >> just looking for signs the attackers are trying to gain access. >> reporter: government and industry insiders say you're practically guaranteed a job in cyber security if you've got the right stuff. >> there is a lack of expertise and there are a lot of people

clamoring for people who know the internet world, can work in this area. >> reporter: last year, the department of homeland security cyber unit responded to more than 100,000 cyber attacks. secretary napolitano says unless we train more cyber experts our economy could be the biggest casual casualty. she adds thousands of experts already work in the federal government but there's a desperate need for more. >> we need people who are analysts. we need people who are engineers. we need people who are experienced in intelligence as it relates to the cyber universe. >> reporter: george washington university is on a short list of institutions answering that need. the university will launch a masters program in cybersecurity this fall. >> we get calls all the time from industry and government wanting to hire students and to find students who have this expertise and training. there are not enough people.

we're educating them as fast as we can. >> reporter: and design systems hackers can't easily penetrate. logic and a solid math tech and science background are pluses. kevin's security firm responds to corporate breaches but with only 220 people on staff their response is mostly reactive. they can't match the current demand. and, he says, stopping attacks before they happen is impossible without more qualified people in place. >> it takes a long time to learn how to be a cyber security expert. >> reporter: he believes the 6 to 8 year grooming process in a challenging field may be keeping people away. to bridge the gap, napolitano has been traveling to universities to tell students what opportunities are available at the department. she's also working with universities to build a curriculum that would meet the department's needs. again, recruiting not just an issue for the federal government but companies as well. next week, we should tell you, congress will be debating cyber

security legislation but some say it does not go far enough. don, back to you. >> thank you, rene, appreciate that. u.s. soldiers posing with body parts, an army staff sergeant accused of going house to house and killing 17 afghans. we're talking to a psychologist about troop behavior. weight balance from front to back... and back to front. ♪ giving you exceptional control from left to right... and right to left. ♪ the cadillac cts. ♪ we don't just make luxury cars. we make cadillacs. durn'it, this thing's runnin' slow. bet you think you're pretty quick?

welcome back. the world was stunned by the publication of photos showing american soldiers posing with the body parts of dead afghan insurgents. just the latest to emerge out of afghanistan. it's causing some people to ask what the war is doing to our troops and how much more they can take. to help us with all of this, we turn now to terry lyles.

drp terry lyles. a psychologist focusing on stress management. he's worked in the past with rescue workers in and around ground zero and the air force space command. it's important to point that out because he's worked with people who have been under these dire circumstances. so, doctor, listen, tell me what you make of these pictures. tell me -- we've been having this conversation all week. tell me something new that i haven't heard by watching the news all week on this story. >> what i think, as i debrief these individuals going back and forth on a regular basis, i mean, they're in very difficult circumstances. and many of these warriors are very young in age. and when you add that together and you add the adrenal fatigue that goes on with having to be on high alert all the chemically. i don't condone what they did but i understand to a degree. >> stop right there. i think you bring up a very good point.

no one, doctor, is condoning what these men and women did. >> that's correct. >> in these photographs. but for us to sit here in an air conditioned studio and our cars to say, my gosh, i am outraged, these are otherwise people who went to war or donned a uniform for honorable reasons. and they are basically living in hell. >> yes. well, don, the way i look at it is they are warriors and we call them warriors. in other word, they have a warrior mentality. these individuals are in dire situations day and night. li life and death every single day. they're hunting down and trying to eliminate insurgents that are trying to eliminate them. and i -- every victory lane i've been in there are trophies. what i see in those photos are these guys looking at the trophy they caught. does it justify it? absolutely not. i get the mentality of it. i think part of it is we need to do a better job, you know, with them psychologically to help them understand the world is watching, be careful about what you do and what you capture

while what you're doing every day is very difficult. >> before i move on to a different part of this, then what do we do? because that sort of behavior happens on the battlefield. as i call it hell because we know wars are hell, right? >> yes, absolutely. >> what happens when they come home? they can't do that sort of thing when they come home even if they've seen the worst in battle. what do we do? >> don, that's a great question. because i actually have a program that actually is -- we just got started up that's helping warriors transition back into a civilian or peaceful lifestyle. because if you don't help them transition chemically, psychologically, they actually end up trying to act out in other ways. drive fast on motorcycles, in cars, because they need that rush again. we have to do a better job debriefing these individuals and helping them reacclimate and transition into a peaceful segment of life like we all have here an ed enjoy. >> what many don't understand is

it's a plane ride really from a war zone back to here. >> yes. >> some people spend time -- >> it's very difficult -- if you've ever been to a disaster zone, you're back in moments and you can't believe the numbness you bring home with you. and how everything else just acts normal but us. that's been a tragedy. >> i can't imagine being home, you know, when we talk about deployments, being home and being in a normal american life with your family and all of a sudden, boom, you're redeployed and you're, like, my gosh, here i am, back again. in this situation. >> that's the other problem is multiple deployments on top of that. does that always give them ample time? in the disaster zones, it takes weeks and i know what to do to myself so if they don't have that kind of training it's very, very challenging to beat that adrenal fatigue without understanding of what to do and how to acclimate to a peaceful society again so i'm really concerned about them but we have to do a better job on educating and training them on how to take care of themselves, when they come back home. >> let's talk about how these photographs came to light

through the "l.a. times." there are 18 and they only released two of them. that's what you're looking at, them holding legs of an insurgent. the soldier who gave the "times" these photos says he is concerned about the lack of discipline but he has put his brother in arms by doing this in more danger. at least that's what the government says. when they pled with the -- pleaded with the "l.a. times" not to release these photographs. >> well, you and i both know in the media, if something's released to the media, it's your responsibility to air it or show it because that's what we do here and there's nothing wrong with that. i think the error more so was on the warrior's side, the individual, who said i feel unprotected or unsafe so i want to give these up to save our troops. that's breaking code. that puts everybody in danger. again, that's where that lack of judgment can come in because of the stress fatigue that goes on, on a regular basis. it's got accountability that needs to be there on an ongoing basis. i want to reiterate.

these individuals are in very, very difficult and dangerous conditions. day and night. and we can't forget that we would all make minor mistakes in those situations. they do a great job for us. but they still need help before they go, while they're there and especially when they return. >> and don't judge them. don't judge them because you don't know. you have no idea. >> what would we do there? i mean, that's the difficult part. it's easy for us to sit here and talk about it in a comfortable studio but it's very difficult -- and if i may say we have a program that's absolutely free to all these individuals. we're working with the government to help put these programs together. because i want to take my part of responsibility to help these individuals transition and reacclimated to society. >> rather than judging, maybe it's like, okay, now we see what they're up against, what sort of beha behavior they might exhibit, and we need to help them more. that's what it should be rather than a judgment. doctor, thank you very much.

best conversation all week on this. you've been really wonderful. thank you, appreciate it, dr. terry lyles. our top stories are next including a rare feat in baseball that happened in just the past hour and the culture of the secret service, the incident with agents and prostitutes in colombia sparks concern there could be a pattern of bad behavior within the agency. and it's very affordable. it was very delicious. could you please taste car insurance y? this one is much more expensive. ugh. it's really bad. let's see what you picked. oh, geico! over their competitor. you are a magician right? no., oh. you're not?, no., oh, well, give it a shot. i am so, so sorry. it was this close. the chevy cruze eco also offers 42 mpg on the highway. actually, it's cruze e-co, not ec-o. just like e-ither. or ei-ther. or e-conomical.

half past the hour now. here are your top stories. we're waiting for the moment that george zimmerman walk, out of jail. now his attorneys say it could take till the middle of the week to come up with $15,000, 10% of the bond the judge set on friday. a surprising move, zimmerman took the move during his bond hearing yesterday. he apologized to the parents of trayvon martin, the unarmed teen he claims he shot in self-defense. new documents reveal that eight american soldiers died from drug overdoses involving

opiates while serving in afghanistan in 2010 and 2011. the army investigation looked at 56 soldiers suspected of possessing, using or distributing those drugs. the papers also detail how the drugs were bought largely from afghan soldiers and civilians. in the netherlands, two passenger trains collide head on in amsterdam today injuring at least 125 people. one soldier said everybody was screaming in a panic. no word yet on possible deaths but among the injures, 13 are critical and it is not clear how both trains ended up on the same track. in the stadium, the post paterno era has begun. fans left flowers at the base of his statue on campus as the team played its annual blue/white game. he died just months after losing his job overed handling of a sex abuse scandal. congratulations to philip

sources say 2 supervisors among them. leading law enforcement experts to be concerned about potentially a larger problem within the secret service. a comfort level with this kind of conduct. is this incident part of a pattern in that agency? we spoke off camera with several former secret service agents and supervisors who say it's not. that they never witnessed or heard of anything like this. they did tell us of so-called wheel also up parties. when secret service officer, white house staffers, members of the media get together after the president has left a city and have drinks at a bar or hotel room. they say those get-togethers are comparatively team. jeffrey robinson who wrote a book on the secret service with a former top agent says this about those parties. >> do married guys take off their rings at these parties? they often say wheels up, rings off. okay, that's a problem for these married guys and their families. do people get drunk? gee, there's a new story. >> reporter: robinson says those are isolated incidents. not part of a broader culture at

the secret service. there was an incident in 2006 when a secret service agent was tasered, charged with public intoxication, after an altercation at a bar in waco, texas. in 2002, usa news and world report published an investigative piece details incidents of agents having raucous party, barroom brawls, sex with underage girls. some of the information came from agents who had grievances with the agency. there is real concern this is a cultural problem within the agency. is it? >> no, it is not. i mean, i can tell you unequivocally it is not. i have lived it for 31 years. >> reporter: serving under six presidents, barbara riggs was the first woman to become a supervisor in the presidential protective division. the first woman to become deputy secret service director. she also supervised at vance teams. >> yes, we have had people who have been involved in inappropriate behavior. after duty, can you go out and have a beer? absolutely. can sometimes there be an incident? yes, there has been.

is it systemic? no. >> reporter: a current secret service official mirrored that, telling us in an agency of 7,000 people, yes, there have been incidents of misconduct and criminal behavior. the official would not reto the concerns about a broader cultural problem at the secret service but did say with regard to this incident and others they've responded decisively and appropriately. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> they spend years in cells but now chimps once used in medical experiments are tasting life outdoors for the first time. we'll take you to their retirement home in about three minutes. first, making her mark this week, she won more games than any other men or women's coach in college basketball history but now facing the biggest challenge of her life off the court, pat summitt is calling it quits. her time as a head coach for the university of tennessee lady vols will go down in history. in 38 year, she led the team to nearly 1,100 wins and 8 national championships. eight months ago summitt

nor decades researchers have used chimps for clinical studies. what happens to an animal once the research facility is closed? cnn's john zarrella went to a facility that gives chimps the chance at a happy retirement. >> reporter: a red rose snack. some like the stems. others the petals. and cut-up fruit, mm-mm. but you get the sense they'd prefer you hand it to them. here, have some more. >> susie, you're not catching very well. >> reporter: this is chimp haven, the only federally

subsidized chimpanzee sanctuary, sitting on 200 acres outside shreveport, louisiana. there are forested habitats. great for climbing. fruits and veggies are always scattered around. in essence, this is a chimp retirement home. >> we look at what a chimpanzee needs. we base that on what they're like in the wild. what does a wild chimp need? they need a lot of friends, a lot of space. >> reporter: there are 130 of these great apes here. there's a growing chance that in the near future hundreds of chimps now in research facilities might need a home like this. legislation awaiting action in congress would put an end to all invasive research using chimpanzees. and a much anticipated study commissioned by the national institutes of health, nih, found the use of chimps in most cases, quote, unnecessary. the growing concern for

sanctuary and laboratory officials is what to do with all these animals if suddenly they can no longer be used for research. chimps can easily live more than 50 years. and the daily cost for care between $25 and $50 per animal. >> we could probably take 40, 50, 60 more chmpanzees if just this outside area was completed. >> reporter: money is the reason it's been sitting unfinished for six years. ever since the contractor went bankrupt and costs escalated. the chimps here come from a variety of backgrounds. henry was a pet. he lived 15 years in a cage in a garage before his rescue. 50-year-old sarah was used in cognitive research. so these chimpanzees behind me, there are five of them, are here for one very specific reason. nobody else will take them. they were at one time infected with and carry the aids virus. most of chimp haven's animals were research subjects. >> it's amazing to see them experience breeze for the first time. some of these chimps haven't

even had outdoor access before. >> reporter: right now if the law were to change there aren't enough retirement sanctuaries for all the chimps. many would likely stay in the research facilities where they've already spent most of their lives. john zarrella, cnn, keithville, louisiana. >> and there is hope for many of these research chimpanzees. cnn follows the process of making them whole and healthy through freeing the chimps. watch "cnn presents" sunday night at 8:00 eastern. these people are competing to eat one of the most expensive foods as fast as they can but this is no hot dog eating contest here. we'll tell you what they're eating and why. that's next. everything that i've gained in life

we saw again this week that birds can present a real danger

to airplanes. a collision with a flock of birds forced a jet to make an emergency landing in new york. and it brought to mind the miracle on the hudson, the near tragedy caused by birds being sucked into jet engines. controlling the bird population near airports is a problem the faa hasn't yet solved. here's cnn's mary snow. >> reporter: just moments after delta flight 1063 took off from jfk airport thursday, it was clear something went wrong. >> delta 1063 has had an engine failure on the right engine declaring an emergency due to a bird strike. >> reporter: passengers described a loud grinding noise and smoke in the cockpit. the pilot decided to turn around. >> delta 1063, we'll clear the right. we lost our right engine due to the ingestion of birds. >> reporter: the plane landed safely. everyone was okay. [ applause ] but there was visible damage to the engine. the problem stems from spots like this, with the main culprit canada geese. this sanctuary is in the shadows of jfk airport.

and wildlife biologist steve garber, who once worked for the airport, counts 300 species of birds. >> because this is such a metropolitan, built-up area, there aren't too many spots to land that look good. and if birds see other birds, it's an oasis. and naturally, they're going to land there. >> reporter: a host of things has been used from pyrotechnics to falcons to control canada geese. but it's not just jfk. it was laguardia airport where u.s. air flight 1549 took off when a flock of canada geese struck its engines and it landed on the hudson river. in response the city started working with the department of agriculture to euthanize canada geese to cut down on the risk of another mid-air mishap. but they only have a small window over the summer when the geese are molting and can't fly. but now the city is the target of a lawsuit over this garbage transfer center. it's being built right near laguardia. attorney georgia winston represents advocates suing the city to try to stop it.

>> birds like garbage. birds like the smell of garbage. so what we're saying to the city is this doesn't make any sense. this is 2,000 feet from the laguardia airport runway. and all it can do is attract more birds. >> reporter: for years the city has maintained it's safe. >> the faa think it's safe, and they're the professionals. >> reporter: the city also says there was garbage kept at the site up until 2001 without incident. and it says this new facility will be covered. but critics point to thursday's emergency landing as one more reason they don't want anything else attracting birds so close to runways. mary snow, cnn, new york. no doubt you've heard about ufc, ultimate fighting championship. it's tough mixed martial arts competition. and you're about to get an inside look at it. that's coming up. i didn't know how i was going to do it, but i knew i was going to get that opportunity one day. and that's what happened with the university of phoenix.
