don't miss the live fight, december 8th on hbo pay-per-view. hello, i'm in for don lemon, first let get can caught up on the day's headlines right now. you are looking at live pictures from cairo. where anti-government protesters are spending the night in tahrir square. they are protesting morsi's decree granting himself unchecked political power. earlier today, protesters threw rocks at police who responded with tear gas, we will have more on this story at the bottom of the hour. and an emergency at the u.s. state department today, fire

trucks raced to the department headquarters before noon, a flash fire in the duct work of the building forced everyone to evacuate and sent three people in the hospital, construction workers were among the few in the building because it's a holiday weekend. a gas explosion that damaged more than 40 buildings. a camera captured the moment of the blast. mostly emergency workers were injured. they were called to the scene because of reports of the gas smell. they evacuated most of the area an hour before the explosion. superstorm sandy is at $29 billion at cost. governor chris christie said that the final total will only be known after taking into account next summer's tourist season. it was said this that they would ask the federal government for

$30 billion for the state's recovery. here is what else we are working on. it's the search for a missing millionaire and one of the most bizarre stories i have ever covered in quite a long time. i don't know mcavenffey, he is the run from police and blogging all the way. >> and you drove cliff to attempt suicide? >> how did i know he was going to do a dumb thing like that. >> fans mourning the death of la larry hagman and what happened in the hours and minutes following the death of bin la n laden. and a teenage girl attacked and knockedout on the street. you will not believe why the suspect said he did it.

well his name is the same as safety and security in our modern electronic world. john mcaffey, he has a security problem of his own. he is wrapped up in a bizarre murder investigation. his neighbor was found shot dead with a gun shot wound to the head. this is taking place in a remote corner of the central american paradise, belize, i went there to try to find him myself to find out where he is. why he is not talking to police and what i found raised more questions than answers much. >> to look for john mcaffee, you must travel a narrow, and rutted

road, he lives in a remote part of an island 30 miles from the main land and six miles from town. by now you are wondering why would a person with so much money looifr so five so far out. i think i can give you a reason. >> the unspoiled beauty of the region, the furtherer north you go, the higher the price of real estate, macafee's view is worth a fortune. i'm sitting in his front yard, i can sit here because actually the beach and here in belize the beach is considered public property for all. the house back there, the purple and yellow. the lights are on, but i can assure you nobody is home. it's in the same spot that yesterday, i had a very interesting conversation with a young woman who claims to be one of seven of mcafee's lovers. she did not want to be seen,

like him she fears the police. >> when was the last time you saw him? >> sunday, around 11:15. >> do you know where he is now? >> no. >> now a day later, tiffany is gone too. the only residents left at mcaffee's home, are dogs and the dogs may play a central role in the murder history. their barking and aggressive behavior was a point of friction between he and his neighbor. someone poisoned four of his dogs and to put them out of their misery, he shot them. two days later, somebody shot his neighbor once in the head and mcaffee vanished. police say they only want to talk to the internet security guru, the more he remains in hiding the more suspicious they grow. >> i would dare to say it does not seem rational to me wanting somebody for questioning and

then you hiding. it was suspicious that caused them to dig up the graves of the dog. >> the smell and then something over here, a pile of rubber gloves, which could indicate police activity. witnesses say instead of taking the dogs body, police simply took their heads and reburied the remains. the source close to the investigation said that may be to see if the bullets in the dogs match the one in greg fall. murdered neighbor. headless dogs and a millionaire on the run. all set against a backdrop of spectacular tropic beauty. it's possible someone could write a more intriguing story, but it would not be easy. john mcaffee is out-of-sight but

he is in contact with the outside world. he has been telling anyone who will listen than police in belize are corrupt and out on to get him. here is a part of his conversation with wire.com. >> what's the end game at this point? >> well, you know, i don't have have a clue, sir, i am, you know, i am unable to move. that's clear. my face is plastered, all the police, all the bdf have my photo. i'm, you know, it's a small country. i'm a white man with a unique features, if i leave this house, i would be identified instantly. and nabbed. so for the foreseeable future, this is my home. the end game is obviously, given enough time, they will track me down. i are to eat, i have to have supplies. i'm using a telephone, they will eventually figure out which phone and triangulate it, it's a

matter of time. in the meantime, i had like to get out as much information as i can about the wrongs in the country. he is posting his thoughts and sharing details for how a man or for a man who is hiding from the police in a blog. we have more from london. >> john mcafee spending his time on the run, dressing up. and he is finding the time to blog about it. one day sell issing tam am -- sg tamales and burritos that i had purchased. and one wearing a speedo swimming trunk and a over sized hawaiian shirt and yelling loudly at anyone who would listen. and he says dirty words in german that i will not tell you about. he sounds like he is having a pretty good time. too good maybe.

he adds in his blog this. the first day i colored my full beard and my hair light grey, almost white. i dark ened the skin of my face, neck and hands carefully with shoe polish and put on a l.a. saints baseball cap with the brim facing backwards and tufts of the front. and i stuffed my cheeks with chewed bubble gum stuck to the outside of my upper and lower molars, i dark ened and browned my front teeth. then he gets more creative. and kind of gross with his disguises saying this. i stuffed a shaved down tampon deep into my right nostril and died the tip dark brown, i put on a pair of ragged brown pants with holes, and i worry a ragged

long sleeve shirt. well, he is sharing his movements, his opinions and his various looks in a lot of detail, but the question is this, does he want to be caught? >> see, i told you this is one of the most bizarre storied i covered. next, we will be talking about a newspaper reporter who knows mcafee and the police and knows how they are searching for him, he will give us the latest on the investigation and maybe even where mcafee may be. stay tuned. hurry in this saturday and sunday for great deals. like the lucid by lg, free. or the galaxy nexus by samsung, free. this weekend, get the best deals on the best devices on the best network. exclusively at verizon.

we've been telling you about the murder investigation going on in belize, the country known best for its beautiful beaches and tropical scenery. it's an incredible story and it involve this is man. internet security pioneer john mcafee. his belize neighbor, a florida contractor named greg fall was found dead inside of his oceanfront home. police want to talk to mcafee but he has disappeared. he's been talking to reporters, though, by telephone insisting that he is an innocent man and that police in belize are out to get him. so with all that said, let's bring in jorge aldana, the senior reporter with the "san padros" newspaper. thank you for joining us.

>> good night. always a pleasure. i'm glad to hear from you again. >> thank you. let me ask you this -- what is new in this investigation? >> well, not much has changed, martin. police are saying that the only piece of information that have changed is that they have exhumed the remains of mcafee's dogs. and what they are trying to do, according to the police officer, mr. rafael martinez, who spoke to me about the case on wednesday afternoon, he's saying that the reason they exhumed the remains of the dogs was because they wanted to see if the bullets that, according to mcafee, he shot his dogs. so they wanted to see if the slugs on the dogs' head matches that of the one found at gregory fall's home. >> right. >> that is what has changed. >> any idea how long that will

take, jorge, for them to do the ballistics? >> well, the ballistics and testing are done in belize. even after those test results with completed, it will not be made public because of the investigation. >> something will have to change. in other words, if they matched, i would think that this would take john mcafee from being a man who's wanted for questioning for just a man who's just plain wanted. you would see that change. >> i would want to leave that to the police. but several things could have happened. remember that we don't know what type of guns was used on the dogs. we know that it was a 9 millimeter shell that found at the property of mr. greg fall. but that will certainly change the police investigation. >> you've talked to mcafee several times.

i'm wondering, what's he like? what's he like to talk to? what do you think of him? >> well, to me, i spoke to him on several occasions and one of the last times i spoke to him was back in -- i think it was may when he gave a detailed explanation as to his home property. but he appeared to be a normal person. he came across as one who was genuine about experiences. he did not come across as someone, as some may say -- have been said in some media outlets, they are concerned about his mental instability. to me, he came across as a very normal person that was genuinely concerned for his safety. >> right. one of the things that's interesting about mcafee is the amount of money he's donated to the police government.

he gave a $1 million boat to the coast guard of belize. and the thursday before all of this happened, he made a significant donation of equipment to the police department, which is rather ironic, because then three days later, that same police department is probably now using some of that equipment to try to track him down. he had been a very good representative for belize, good neighbor, so to speak. >> he has been certainly a generous person in the community, in terms of trying to -- he had been generous in the past, not only to the san pedro police department, but when he first came to belize in 2008, i remember interviewing him when he donated a vessel to the belize coast guard, the newly formed belize coast guard. and he donated a state-of-the-art vessel. thereafter, he made different

donation. and you rightly pointed the last donation was a thursday before the entire incident where fall was found dead. he also gave a donation to the local police. it's ironic, like you rightly pointed. >> one more bizarre twist. real quick, i want to ask, do you think he is still out there still in belize? >> it is difficult to see. in this modern time -- police believe he is in the country. but considering how porous our borders are, there is absolutely no way that police and other law enforcement agencies can patrol every square inch of our border. so it can happen that he is here. it can happen that he may be hiding somewhere. it can happen that he may be hiding with some friends or it can even happen that he went

somewhere else. police do believe, however, that he is in belize. they continue to search for him. >> let's hope he does the right thing and comes in and answers the questions of authorities. that will put the whole matter to rest. jorge, great to talk with you. thank you very much. we'll stay in touch. >> well, we hope that you come and visit belize, martin. i'll tell you, john mcafee will only give himself in if you turn to belize. >> thank you, jorge. >> have a good night. >> thank you. to another story, the death of a television icon. a look at the long career of larry hagman and the role he relished more than any other. that's coming up.s 12. part of a whole new line of tablets from dell. it's changing the conversation. ♪

oil man was 100% texas, big talk, big money and always that very big hat. we have a look back at his long showbiz career. >> reporter: larry hagman wore many hats in his career. but he's best known for the stetson that he wore on "dallas." despite roles on film and on stage, hagman will always be remembered as the villainous j.r. ewing. when j.r. was shot by an unknown assailant, it became one of the most famous cliffhangers in tv history, watched by 300 million people from all around the world. hagman never expected the show to endure. >> i just started the show doing six shows. i never thought it would do 300. >> reporter: in fact, the "dallas" franchise was so successful, the series was

recently reprised. the u.s. network tnt brought it back with a new generation of ewings and hagman came back, too, returning as j.r. once again. critics say he was the best thing about "dallas." but explaining the character's appeal, hagman once said, the time is ripe for a real bad guy and i'm it. >> have a good day, master? >> i'm going to have a wonderful day, genie. >> reporter: it was a good guy who larry hagman blasted into people's living rooms playing astronaut tony nelson on "i dream of genie." the show is still popular in syndication. even as a kid, hagman orbited in showbiz as the son of peter pan star mary martin, his movie roles included "up the cellar" and "harry and tonto". >> i don't need an office anymore. >> reporter: it was only after milking a huge contract from the producers of "dallas" that

hagman became immensely wealthy. he had houses, he had cars, he had vices. two of them included drinking and smoking. he smoked for 24 years, gave it up and became an anti-smoking activist and spokesman for the american cancer society. >> i met at least 30, 40 people that said they quit because of my personal involvement, which makes me feel really good. >> reporter: he stopped drinking in 1995 when he was diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent a life-saving transplant. in recent years, hagman appeared on the big screen in films like "nixon" and "primary colors." but it was his role as the charming and conniving oil man that audiences will never forget. >> larry hagman's friends and fellow cast members have been

city of damanur where members of the muslim brotherhood exchanged gunfire with anti-morsi protesters. reza sayah is tracking the story for us in cairo. >> reporter: demonstrations continue against egyptian president mohamed morsi. not the big number that is we saw on friday, but certainly still a lot of people out here, lots of food stands. about 30 tents, which is an indication that many of these protesters want to be here for a while. it's not clear how long they're going to stay here. but when you talk to them, they seem determined to speak out against mr. morsi's controversial decrees. >> the beginning of a new era for a tyrant. >> he's saying nobody can revise what i say. he's actually throwing the system out of the scene totally. >> reporter: big developments in meeting rooms and news conferences on saturday where factions opposed to mr. morsi made moves to put pressure on the president.

of course, a number of his decrees seemed to weaken the judiciary. the judiciary answered back on saturday by calling for a nationwide judges strike. also the supreme judicial council on saturday made a statement declaring his decrees an attack on the independence of the judiciary. opposing factions also called for a 1 million-man protest and sit-in on tuesday. what does mr. morsi's muslim brotherhood group do? they call for a 1 million-man protest, too, on tuesday. critical days ahead for this country. reza sayah, cnn, cairo. >> let's give you a look at tahrir square live coming in via satellite. it's just after 5:30 in the morning. egypt's state-run news service reports that 261 people have been injured in the clashes around the country. 43 people remain hospitalized. british police have made an

was asked, do i need any spiritual ceremonial preparations? "traditional procedures for islamic burial was followed. the deceased's body was washed and then placed in a white sheet. a military officer read prepared religious remarks which were translated into arabic by a native speaker, after the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat board, tipped up, whereupon the deceased's body slid into the sea. according to the e-mails, there aren't many witnesses. in response to this question, the heading of one e-mail says, burial, no sailors watched. another says, only a small group of the leadership was informed, less than a dozen total. and another indication of the secrecy of that part of the mission, an e-mail from a top admiral to joint chiefs chairman michael mullen, the paucity of documentary evidence in our possession is a reflection of

it's like, hurry up, honey, eat fast, we need to get up there to the mall. >> a lot of people skipping the pumpkin pie so they can get out there and -- >> isn't that sort of desecrating a holiday to get in line? what are your thoughts? >> it's turning into its own new holiday. it really is cutting into thanksgiving. it's amazing that people get out there and get into that kind of trouble if they have that much energy left after gorging themselves on turkey which is supposed to make you drowsy. imagine if they weren't sedated with that how much trouble they could be causing. all this to celebrate the season of the birth of the prince of peace and goodwill towards the jerk trying to cut in line in front of you. i don't know where it's leading to, but it's spinning off definitely into its own holiday, for sure. >> right. you're absolutely right. it tends to, of course, overshadow the whole meaning of the season. but it also seems -- and as someone alluded to in that youtube video -- people seem to enjoy it, that it is a spectator

outbidding somebody on ebay does not give you that same in-person thrill of grabbing the toy out of somebody's hands. until they can come up with some sort of digital avatars that will allow you to battle out for it online, cyber monday is going to be a far second to black friday. >> i felt very bad for that gentleman who was wearing the hat and had the colorful expletive. >> man, that's the least of it. people are packing guns, running people over. they're stealing shopping bags out of teenagers walking out of bed, bath & beyond. no lack of mayhem out there. >> no, there isn't. i'm wondering, in some way, we build this up. and i don't mean just the media. of course, the department stores, everybody makes a big deal about these are the lowest prices and they go on sale at this time. it's almost like we've set the scenes for this kind of --

>> yeah, there's a patriotic component as well. like if you don't get out there and shop on this day, risk your life on this day, the whole economy could go into the tubes. it will be very black for the country if these stores do not get in the black on black friday. it's very twisted, but it's quintessentially american. >> you've wrapped it up very well. bill santiago, thanks very much. a pleasure to talk to you. >> until next time. well, a world war ii coded message found in a very strange place, and could you crack the code because nobody else seems to be able to? plus -- danger ahead. yeah, a house right into the middle of a busy highway. . with verizon.

british spies are stumped. the skeleton of this pigeon dates back to world war ii. it was carrying a coded message in a little canister that was attached to its leg. the british intelligence agency is hoping to trace the original of this. now, here's the part where you can help because they have so far been unable to read the message. and they say that's really a tribute to the code-maker's skills. but about 250,000 carrier pigeons were used during world war ii delivering messages from mainland europe back to great britain. and everyone wants to know, could it have changed the

outcome of the war in some way? we don't know. we'll find out. another interesting piece of video. talk about caught in traffic. the owners of this home in, where else, china, refuse to take the government's offer saying that it was too low. so what did the government do? they built a highway around the couple's five-floor building. the owners, who are in their 60s, have been reportedly holding out for a better offer for the last four years. good luck with that. and all of you parents will certainly have an opinion about this. a mom and dad in florida have had it up to here with their teenage daughter. she won't listen, won't follow the family rules. so her punishment was for a few hours of public humiliation. take a look at this report from clair mets. >> it's not just embarrassing me. it's embarrassing them, too. i hope it embarrasses them for as much as it's embarrassing me.

>> reporter: for about two hours, jasmine was alternately defiant and devastated over what her parents call tough love. >> that's not love. how the -- that's not love. >> reporter: jasmine was forced to hold a big sign that said, i sneak boys in at 3:00 a.m. and disrespect my parents and grandparents. but her parents say jasmine's behavior has been on a downhill slide, lying, drinking, sneaking out. >> i don't know what else to do. he says i'm babying her. he says, this is the next step to do for her. i don't know. what do you do for the kids? i have no idea. >> reporter: mike says he lost hundreds of dollars taking the day off but says if public humiliation doesn't get his stepdaughter's attention, jasmine may come to the attention of police or worse. >> the courts say, why didn't you do some preventative stuff first? this is our prevent tif stuff. this is the beginning of what she's doing to eventually wind up in prison. >> reporter: the sheriff's department stopped out here briefly but did noke
