good for him. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'll be back 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." brooke baldwin picks up our coverage right now. wolf, thank you so much. good to see all of you. i'm brooke baldwin live today on this friday afternoon from moore, oklahoma, with cnn special coverage of the aftermath, as you can see, homes in this neighborhood absolutely leveled from monday's tornado. one small step in moore. it is easier this afternoon for people to get in and around, we have seen a lot of homeowners here finally able to get into this neighborhood and check out what is left of their homes. people have now been able to come -- police have removed the checkpoints at the entryways of a number of neighborhoods here in moore and people who live in the tornado zone do not have to show their i.d.s anymore to get to their homes, to check on their property or to rummage

through the debris for the precious family mementos. even though the checkpoints are down, there are plenty of police around. we have seen police, national guard, folks from the local air force base, tinker air force base taking their weekends off because they wanted to come out to volunteer and help the home owners sift through some of the rubble here. and they're encouraging everyone, though, to leave these neighborhoods before it gets dark. four people can killed in monday's tornado are being remembered at funerals and laid to rest today. and they include two of the smallest victims. 8-year-old kyle davis was in the third grade at plaza towers elementary. look at this face. he loved soccer. we're told he loved monster truck exhibitions. so this is kyle. and also 9-year-old nicholas mccabe. we're told he was into legos and loved country music. nicholas was among the children who died huddled inside the

plaza towers school on monday. i should tell you, a public memorial honoring all of the tornado victims here is set for this evening at the first baptist church of moore. and president obama will be traveling here on sunday. we have been in moore for a week now. i've talked to so many people, just unreal stories of -- it's a mix they would tell you of faith and luck and survival. and today, just taking a walk down the road, i met this amazing couple, this young couple, briana and caleb allison. i walked up to them because i saw this mother cradling this 3 week old baby. three weeks, who has a very appropriate name given what happened here. watch. >> you are new parents of this little one and her name is -- >> hope. >> and it's hope not just because she survived an ef-5 tornado, but because -- >> well, she survived many different things.

in december, when we were 17 weeks in utero my wife had to have an emergency abdominal surgery. and it was not looking very good. and she was -- it was pretty grim. they said that possibly both of them wouldn't survive, mother and child. at that point we actually didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. and when she was in the hospital, and we were both crying, right before she went into surgery, she just said if it's a girl, we're going to name her hope. >> you knew then she would be hope and mom, you were telling me, hope sort of has become this acronym for what? >> h is had trouble conceiving because of the syndrome. the o is for the ovarian torsion, i had my ovary removed. the p is for the pre-eclampsia that showed up in april with the high blood pressure and bed rest

and the e is the ef-5 tornado. no more drama. >> no more. how do you feel now having survived everything that you guys have been through the last couple of months, especially this week? >> i feel like god's prepared me for anything that is going to happen throughout the rest of her life and ours and he's blessed us with a wonderful baby and, you know, our house is gone, but, i mean, he'll provide so -- >> and, i mean, looking at her, this teeny little adorable thing, what do you think, dad? >> i don't, i mean, she was amazing when she was born, and, you know, she's resilient and she's -- she can do anything. i know she'll be able to do anything. there is no words to describe. the only thing i can think of whenever we were in the bathtub before we ran from the storm was i have to keep this baby safe.

i have to keep her safe. >> and you did. thank you, guys, so, so much. thank you, hope. >> how cute? three weeks old. and talking to the parents, once the cameras stopped rolling, i said, are you going to stay here in moore and rebuild and they're not sure. they have, as so many people do today, insurers coming to see if it is a total loss or not. we keep hearing all these stories and nick valencia, let me bring you in, you were here monday. you were here from the get. >> yes, from the get-go. >> and it's been an evolution of finally for us being able to access some of the areas, talking to some of the people, hearing their stories of surviving, of saving others, and you said -- you just came across the most amazing story you've seen all week. >> most incredible story that our crew has seen. we went to highland east middle school, there was a 14-year-old

boy and 12-year-old girl, going back through the rubble first time. the 13-year-old boy saved the life of the 12-year-old girl. dillon and diane, story -- it is a beautiful story, she was being sucked up by the tornado, brooke. off the ground. he grabbed her hand, held on to the lockers, kept her from being sucked away by the tornado. she says he's her hero and he thinks he's -- he gave himself an a grade. he said he did pretty well. >> did they know each other? >> they became friends at the start of the year. this is the start of a very, very good friendship. she just moved from new jersey three years ago and she said she wants to move back. she's terrified. they were huddled in the locker room of highland east middle school as the tornado hit, as it went over them. they said it sounded louder than a train, the loudest thing they ever heard. they went through the rubble. they want to see how they survived. they're looking at the disaster thinking how did i just survive this? >> i'm curious since you've been here since monday, your impressions of what you've seen. >> oklahomans are resilient people, very resilient people. you don't -- we went to shawnee,

here for shawnee, we were on the scene quickly. our crew got there probably an hour after the tornado hit because we were in place here. we went back to shawnee to let them know they weren't forgotten about. >> let's say this again, been listening to local radio and the folks here in and around the oklahoma city area, they're frustrated and say, look, it is not just -- the worst devastation has been here in moore, but so many people are hurting, not just near moore, but in shawnee and other communities in oklahoma. >> i asked them that, brooke. i said, you to feel forgotten about. with the attention on moore, do you feel forgotten about here? you know what they said, the resources should be there. we're fine, we're taken care of. we're good. we feel for them. those kinds of stories. they're heart warming stories. i expected to run into people that are frustrated or angry or just, you know, feel forgotten about. that's not the case. people are helping out. going to shelters. things are in place. oklahomans know how to handle these kinds of situations. it is very clear. >> they do. nick valencia, thank you so much for sharing. and it really is, i think,

resilience is the perfect word that nick used. i said this before, just incredible the last couple of days walking around and having people who lost their homes, are giving and offering us food and water. it is truly stunning. coming up next hour, we have been talking about celebrities who some of whom have connections here to oklahoma. and some of whom do not. one example of someone who has zero ties to this community, but is going to be here today, if you are a fan of the jonas brothers, one of the jonas brothers, joe jonas, will be joining me right here in moore, oklahoma, about his efforts, why he's here today, and so we'll do that a little later on and also you will see an interview that absolutely took my breath away. that's all coming up here. but in other news this afternoon, part of the main interstate from the west coast into canada is gone today. want you to take a look at this. this is interstate 5. this is the 5 in northern washington state where part of

an aging bridge collapsed, look at that, in the water. mangled metal in the water there. this is last night. a truck and suv plunged into this river, but thank goodness no one was killed. that pickup there was being driven by a man who was behind an 18-wheeler that hit the bridge before that section gave way. >> it seemed that the truck and the load he was carrying was about four feet wider than the bridge on the right side. anytime he wants to move to left would be okay. we started slowing down. and about that same time another semitruck came up on the left side and it almost looked like he pinned that truck over to where he couldn't swerve to get over. >> that bridge is 60 miles north of seattle. just south of the canadian border. it has been rated as, quote/unquote, obsolete, clearly, by the federal highway administration. also today, a flight from pakistan to england was diverted

earlier this morning after two men threatened to blow up the plane. police say the men had some kind of altercation with the flight attendant and made a threat to blow up this plane. this was a boeing 777, which was carrying 297 passengers. the pilot did notify air traffic control and a fighter jet was scrambled to escort this plane. it was diverted to an airport near london where the two men were then arrested. but at the end of the day, no explosive devices were found. coming up next, a teenager found dead in his school gymnasium. wrapped up in a cheerleading mat. police said no, no foul play. but his parents, after seeing an incredibly gruesome picture of their son, are demanding answers. we have an update on that story. also today, a major development in that case. that is next.

police of mishandling the investigation into their son's death back in january. a final autopsy ruled that kendrick's death was a quote, unquote, accidental suffocation but his parents and you can see many, many members of this community didn't buy that story. they saw their son's face after he was pronounced dead. and upon looking at it, they say he was murdered. cnn's victor blackwell has the story. i have to warn you, we have the photo of kendrick johnson's face after he died. it is in this story. it is extremely graphic. so, please, just be advised. here's the piece. >> i wish this on no one. >> reporter: kenneth and jacqueline johnson knew something was wrong when their 17-year-old son kendrick did not come home from school january 10th. >> there's a dead body out here. >> okay, where at, sir? >> lounds high school in old gym. >> reporter: the next day, kendrick was found upside down in a rolled cheerleading mat,

like these. >> nervous. >> reporter: investigators said it appeared kendrick who was 5'10", was reaching for his shoe that had fall noen into the cen of a six foot mat and got stuck, a tragic accident. >> no foul play. he had no bruises, no nothing. >> reporter: did you believe that? >> no. >> reporter: and you still don't believe it? >> no, i don't. >> reporter: they think the story about the mat is a cover-up. >> i don't know what to think. >> reporter: according to georgia law, coroner bill watson should have been contacted immediately. kendrick's body was found at about 10:30. >> i was notified at a quarter of 4:00. >> reporter: lieutenant stride jones is with the sheriff's office. >> it is a time consuming process to work your way from the outside in. once our investigators got to the deceased, the coroner was contacted immediately. >> the only reason that i was questioning this incident

whatsoever was i wasn't called to the scene in a timely fashion. >> reporter: the johnsons say the story does not make sense. >> the mat is so light, he could have pushed that, you know, dropped and it would have fell over. i tried to get in t i couldn't get no forward my neck muscles into the mat. >> reporter: and then this photo of kendrick's face. >> as handsome as my son was, you see him like that, it is crazy. i really feel he was murdered. >> reporter: the photo has been shared thousands of times online. a local rapper has written a song. ♪ i see the sheriff got all the wrong answers ♪ ♪ he must be blind if he can't see something happened ♪ >> we want justice! we want justice! >> reporter: there are now rallies nearly every day in valdosta. >> no matter who you are, how much money your parents have,

the color of your skin, everyone deserves justice. everyone. >> reporter: more than 100 days after his body was discovered, scores of interviews and hours of investigation, the georgia bureau of investigation determined kendrick accidentally smothered to death. >> we examined all the alternatives that were presented to us. and the only one that fit, the physical evidence and the forensic evidence and the testimonial evidence we received is this was an accident. >> victor blackwell joins me now from atlanta. victor, there has been a huge, huge development in the case. tell me what happened. >> that's right. all the rallies and the protests and the social media campaign have been in part to get the attention of the federal government. well, now the johnson family has it. the department of justice confirms that they are reviewing this case. i spoke with u.s. attorney michael moore. he says he has the file on his desk, about five inches thick with eight discs and he's personally doing what he calls a very deliberate review of this

case. also, from the family, they say that they now have a copy of the paramedics report and two elements stand out to them. first, the paramedics cite there was bruising on kendrick's face. also, they wrote that it was being considered a crime scene. but there is no mention of the bruises, no mention of a crime scene in any other document, so they are now even more suspicious of the report of this being an accident from the sheriff's office and the medical examiner. >> wow. so you mentioned the sheriff's office, how are they reacting to this change? >> i spoke with lieutenant stride jones who you saw in the piece and i asked him about the review and said, and i want to be specific, i have the quote here, we have extreme confidence in our investigation. we believe our conclusion was supported by the findings of the gbi medical examiner. i think any independent review of the file will come to the same conclusion that we did. now, we have to tell you that u.s. attorney michael moore says there is no timeline on when he'll make the decision to

either launch this into a full department of justice investigation or stand with the findings from the sheriff's office. >> victor blackwell, please stay on the story for us. we'll follow it all the way through. victor, i appreciate it so much. coming up next, this absolutely incredible story that has everyone talking. a pregnant woman, technically dies. doctors deliver her baby via c-section and then suddenly she comes back to life. now you're about to hear from this mother and her husband and see how that little baby is doing today. ♪ chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for boat insurance. geico,

chances are you have probably heard some breathtaking stories about baby deliveries like a baby who was actually born during the tornado that hit this town monday. well, if you think that is remarkable, i've got another one for you. how about a baby being born while her mother is technically dead? and then mom comes back to life. yep. that happened to 32-year-old schoolteacher erica nigrelli in

missouri city, texas. this is her with her living, breathing miracle, little elayna. erica was rushed to the hospital after passing out in her co-worker's class, no pulse at the time. but doctors delivered her baby via c-section anyway. moments later, doctors started hearing erica's heart beating again. she and her husband sat down with our christine romans and john berman earlier this morning and here is what they told them. >> technically i passed out because my heart stopped. i have the heart condition called hypertrovic cardiomyopathy. it is a thickening of the heart lining. it is also kind of coined as the term athlete's heart. you see 15 and 16-year-old kids essentially playing basketball, they will pass out, and when they pass out, it is because of this. and if they don't get help in time, technically the heart stops to work too long and they

end up dying, that's why they put defibrillators in the schools in the first place. so i am a lucky resipceiver of t defibrillato defibrillator. the doctors are looking positively she might be off of the oxygen early next week. >> we see just a regular, i guess, regular, quotation marks, little baby and my wife certainly doesn't seem any different to me than she did before this. just to think back, you know, to the 15th of february and the weeks that followed, nobody knew, you know, what the new normal was going to be. what stage was she going to get to and would erica stop making progress? would we have to get used to a new erica? but, you know, thank god here she is. and people and myself, we look at her and i don't see anything different whatsoever.

coverage of the disaster in moore. you see the truck pulling up behind any. it is from convoy of hope. there is a certain someone very special who will be popping out of that truck. you'll meet him, a certain celebrity perhaps your children are aware of. that's at the top of the hour. meantime, we have been talking to different people here in moore, oklahoma, this week.

taramy miller is one of them. she lived in oklahoma all her life. she lost her home. i walked through it and it is levelled from monday's tornado. she showed me a little bit as we were driving around moore what used to be on street corners prior to monday. you had a baby in that hospital. >> i had a baby in that hospital. >> that hospital is gone. >> it's gone. yeah. it's so sad. i mean, it had -- i mean, i even have a friend who had a baby there last year. close to father's day weekend. i mean, he's almost about to turn a year old, and i hadn't even told her yet it is gone. right here used to be a day care. >> right here? >> right in here. this used to be a day care. >> with all the cars and -- >> where the ladies are standing, that used to be a day care. it is gone. >> what is this? >> this was a little, like, insurance -- a little store.

gas station. this right here was a brand-new 7-eleven, not even a year old. >> gone. >> gone. completely gone. a desperate oregon woman that was raped in her home after she called 911 for help. the 911 dispatcher said, couldn't send her help. why? budget cuts. there are only four sheriff deputies in josephine county, oregon. they're not available on the weekends as you'll hear. >> 911 emergency. >> my ex-boyfriend is trying to break into my house. i'm not letting him in. but he's, like, tried to break down the door and trying to break into one of the windows. he put me in the hospital a few weeks ago and i've been trying to keep him away. >> the woman was transferred to oregon state police. here they were. >> you know, obviously if he comes inside the residence and

assaults you, can you ask him to go away. or do you know fez intoxicated or anything. >> i've already asked him. i told him i'm calling you. he's broken many before, busted down my door and assaulted me. >> this week people in josephine county where this woman lives voted against the tax hike that would have paid for hiring more deputies. sunny hostin, let me bring you in, our cnn legal analyst. now, oregon's governor is considering a bill to declare a public safety emergency in counties like josephine county where people are left to fend for themselves. is it legal for 911 calls to essentially be ignored? >> no, of course not. i've got to tell you we expect to be protected or our calls to be answered when we call 911. this is a really interesting sort of different situation because as you mentioned, in this particular county, in this place in oregon, they don't have 24 hour service.

they don't have deputies that can get to someone that is in need. and that really, i believe, is what the issue is. what is also unbelievable is that these folks in the town just struck down legislative action which would have raised property taxes by $200 a year. but would have provided additional resources for safety. they don't want their property taxes to go up. something needs to be done here. this is something, brooke, i don't think i've ever heard of before. >> well, something needs to be done and some people in josephine county where they feel helpless where they're taking the law into their own hands. if they're threatened what would you tell those people about the legal risks involved in that? >> there are always legal risks when you take the law into your own hands. and that's why we have people that are specially trained to protect you, to respond to criminal situations. of course, you have to be able to defend yourself. you are able to defend yourself, especially as this woman was in her home, you have the legal right to self-defense.

but, again, you can open up a huge can of worms if you are defending yourself in a way that ultimately is determined to be illegal. the real issue here and i think the real solution here is that these folks need to get more public safety resources. and i hope that will happen. >> yeah. they're working on it. sunny hostin, thank you. and you can read more about this story, just go to cnn.com. coming up next, a tearful tribute to the british soldier hacked to death with a cleaver, broad daylight, on this london street. >> i want to say that i love lee. i always will. and i'm proud to be his wife. >> today, lee rigby's family talked about that tragedy. and we have new video of what the suspects did moments after the attack and how police responded. be right back. .

>> he was a devoted father to our son jack. and we'll both miss him terribly. >> lee's dream was to join the army, which he succeeded in doing. he was dedicated and loved his job. lee cared a lot for his family and was very much a family man, looking out for his wife, his young son jack, and his younger sisters. he never let any harm come to them. he was over the moon being a dad and an uncle and adored all of his family. >> rigby's killing is being treated as a terrorist attack. investigators are now looking into possible ties between the two suspects and other militants. back in the united states, serious charges against actress amanda bynes.

forward. we have more amazing stories for you as our special coverage will continue in a moment. first, some news from the entertainment world. actress amanda bynes is in trouble again. 27-year-old former child star arrested last night for allegedly throwing a bong out a window of her manhattan apartment. that was on the 36th floor. this is video of bynes in a long blonde wig, there she was, on her way to jail. police say bynes' building manager called police because the actress was quote/unquote, smoking a substance in the lobby. we're told they saw this bong and other paraphernalia and that's when the bong was tossed out the window. he had she is facing a felony charge and misdemeanor charges of drug possession and endangerment and bynes has a dui case pending in

california. also, she was sentenced to three years probation this month for driving on a suspended license. amanda bynes' troubles have been compared to those of lindsay lohan. lohan in rehab now, back in 2007 she was convicted of drunk driving and felony drug possession. and there are other former child stars with issues. eddie furlong from "terminator 2" and csi new york, he was arrested for violating a protective order filed against him by a girlfriend. and todd bridges who dealt with drug issues back in the '80s. i want to bring in a former child star of the donna reed show, paul peterson. he joins us live from los angeles. paul, welcome to you. i have to say off the top, i'm standing here surrounded by leveled homes, debris, debris, you know, people have lost their homes, some people here have lost their lives. i'm just -- i don't have a lot

of sympathy for this young woman, i have to say this off the top. that said, these are serious charges. what's your take? >> well, look, we have to put everything in context, of course. i'm so glad you're there, brooke. those people need your help and support, all of us, and our hearts go out to them. in the case of amanda, we are the products of choices we make. just think, if she would have sat down in new york and said i think i'll go to moore, oklahoma, and do what i can to help, not for publicity, just to do something good. it is astonishing to me and continues to astonish me how many bad choices kid stars as they get older can make. i know this pretty personally because i was there myself. i wouldn't wish my 20s on anyone. and i hope people understand that amanda is -- her life has been taken from her because of success at an early age.

and that happens to many kid stars. if you don't have the right support group, you're in trouble. >> paul, let me go back to your personal story because, you know, you were shy of your 21st birthday when the donna reed show wrapped. you said you want trade your 20s with anyone because you experienced a downward spiral and you say what is interesting is what happened to you back then isn't actually very different from what these young stars face today. >> it is no different in my era or going back to the 20s. remember, two of the most famous kids stars in the silent era of hollywood, jackie kugan and baby peggy, this is a replay. you see what happens is the industry, the entertainment industry just uses you up and when they're done with you, they are flat done with you. and it happened to diana sarah carrie, became an object of ridicule. >> yeah. i know this isn't the case,

though. that's the odd thing. this isn't the case for every single child star. some make it out okay and some don't. paul peterson, thank you -- no, they don't. paul peterson, thank you for joining me. appreciate it for your perspective. people in oklahoma call the storm shelters, you know, fraidy holes or hidey holes. now after what happened monday, they may be rethinking the shelters. do more americans need to think about these bunkers? i will take you inside of one. plus, she's the woman at the center of the sex scandal that brought down general david petraeus. retired four star general petraeus. now paula broadwell is speaking out about that affair next. is.

this is a storm shelter, they call them storm shelters if they're underground or safe houses or safe rooms if they're above ground. we wanted to see and share this with you, this woman who lives in this neighborhood, her name is sherry wells, and she was gracious enough to sort of tell me her story. so she put this thing in three weeks before the tornado hit. she said without a doubt it saved her life, it saved the life of her husband. she said she got some sort of rebate, federal government helped her pay half. so she ended up paying $2500, the government matched that. something like $5,000 and it was all said and done, but no doubt that storm shelter such as these save lives, but as i mentioned, they're not cheap. they cost several thousand dollars depending what kind you get. and in today's american journey, our tom foreman takes a look at the debate. >> reporter: in the wake of the oklahoma twister, some have been raising their voices high, insisting this storm ought to

spur a movement for more people to put in storm shelters. pba sells an assortment of models, many look like normal rooms and there, cory schultz sees his work as more than a business. it's a mission. >> after the fact, it's too late. this has to be something that you plan for, that you get in, that you get in place and then you use it and use it correctly. and then i think it can save lives across the country. >> reporter: storm shelters have been around for generations. famously featured in "the wizard of oz." but modern shelters are an entirely different matter. many companies now offer a variety of steel and concrete structures for above and below ground. boasting an array of extra security measures and strengths. >> each one of these anchor bolts has a 10,000 pound sheer strength. so by putting one every foot around here, it can more than

withstand any storm. >> reporter: the challenge has always been economics. even simple storm shelters can cost several thousand dollars. and as bad as these storms can be, even in the most tornado prone areas, odds are most homes will never be hit. >> it is about the money and the statistics. an f-5 tornado is very rare. 1% to 2% of the tornadoes. they don't happen very often. >> reporter: still, proponents look at the plaza towers elementary school in oklahoma, the decimated houses, and they stand firm -- >> nobody can talk to me and talk me out of that shelters are worth it because i know they are. we're saving lives. >> reporter: tom foreman, cnn. >> tom, thank you. just in to us at cnn, a major development in the case that is making waves across the united states. an 18-year-old high school student in trouble for her relationship with a 14-year-old. this is a lesbian couple. we have just gotten word that the older student has rejected a plea deal.

here is this update we have, the case of a high school senior, arrested for allegedly having sex with an underaged girlfriend. it is now going to trial. caitlin hunt has just rejected a plea deal that would have reduced the charges from felony

sexual battery to third degree child abuse. hunt's father set up a petition to urge the state's attorney to drop the case. it now has more than 270,000 signatures. her father's petition says that the parents of this 14-year-old girlfriend disapprove of her same sex relationship with hunt who, again, is 18 years of age. but, this tv affiliate wpec spoke with the alleged victim's parents who say the age difference only forced them to demand an end to the relationship. the couple said they went to hunt, not just once, but twice, telling her to stay away from their daughter. >> we had actually told miss hunt that this was wrong. >> we had no alternative but to turn to the law. and use -- and use it as a last resort. >> so this whole story about you blame kate for making your

daughter gay, where did that come from? >> i don't know. you tell me. it didn't come from us because that's not how we feel. >> it was never said. and that's why we feel that we had to tell how we felt. >> so according to florida law, you have to be 18 years old or older to be able to consent to sex. let me bring in sunny hostin back in now that we have this new nugget, they rejected the plea deal. this thing is going to trial. are you surprised by that? >> well, i'm not surprised by it because, you know, oftentimes people do feel very reluctant to plead guilty when they don't believe that they have committed a crime. they also don't want to plead guilty to exposure that could -- to a crime that could expose them to being a registered sex offender or being deemed a felon. so i do understand why they would not take the plea. i've got to tell you this, brooke, we talked about this

particular case before. proving statutory rape or proving nonconsensual sex is very easy for the government in a case like this. all you've got to do is prove the age difference and the fact that this occurred, that sex occurred. we know that kate has admitted to having this relationship with this 14-year-old. and the bottom line is, a 14-year-old, under the law, cannot consent, cannot consent. and so that's why i said on air and i've got to tell you, many, many tweets, many, many e-mails from people that are very angry with what i said and what i said was, under the law, you simply cannot consent. and so this is a case where it would be beneficial for someone to take a plea deal. because it is almost indefensible in a court of law. i don't think they can win. >> i was going to say how do you defend it? age doesn't lie.

it is pure numbers. so you say indefensible. sunny hostin, thank you very much. >> sure. and here we go. hour two, welcome back to continuing coverage here with the aftermath of this ef-5 tornado that absolutely, as you can see, ripped through this suburb. i'm brooke baldwin. for the very first time since monday's storm, people who live in this disaster zone can come and go as they please without actually having to go through the checkpoints. police and national guard have been manning some of the openings of the neighborhoods because they want to make sure they want to keep out looters. their checking for i.d.s closely. there has been still -- there is police presence around. we have seen more police going through this neighborhood. and homeowners are being encouraged not to stay after dark. they're here, they're walking through with a lot of insurance companies today, to see if their homes are a total loss or not. and how much money they can then

get in return. as recovery here get ns under w in earnest, people are taking the time today to remember their loved ones and neighbors who did not survive. four people killed in monday's tornado are being remembered at funerals and laid to rest today. they include two of the smallest victims. take a look with me. 8-year-old kyle davis was in the third grade at plaza towers elementary school. we're told by family and friends that kyle loved soccer and monster truck exhibitions. this was kyle. and now to 9-year-old nicholas mccabe who was into legos, loved country music. nicholas was among the children who died huddled inside the plaza towers school. a public memoriam honoring all of the tornado victims is set for this evening, not too far from where i am. memorial day weekend, the president of the united states will be traveling here to moore to visit this city sunday.

and time and time again, we are hearing -- let me stress this, despite the loss of life, incredible stories of heroism amid the devastating tornado, the ef-5 tornado that wrecked so much of this town, cnn's nick valencia uncovered one of those stories today. you've been here all week. you've talked to so many people as have i. the story about the 12 and the 13-year-old, 13-year-old hero. >> 13-year-old hero. middle school hero. 13-year-old boy saves the life of his 12-year-old classmate. she's getting swept up by the tornado, brooke. off the ground. he grabs on to her hand, grabs on to the locker to keep her from blowing away. the story speaks for itself. we caught up a little while ago at highland east middle school, just an incredible tale. >> lights went off, you can hear it hit the building, like loud as heck. and then it comes -- takes off our roof, she -- i see her start to go up, i jump on her, lay on her and grab on to the bottom of

these lockers that were inside the ground. and then once it's over, i push her out of the way. and then all the debris starts to hit me. >> can't believe you're actually in there and actually got out and he helped me. >> did you feel like you were going to get -- did you feel like you were going to get sucked away? >> felt like the wind around me was, like, in circles and everything and the ground wasn't underneath me anymore. he held on to my hand -- >> i thought of her as my family. what would i do if they started to go up? didn't think, just did it. >> and these are the selfless tales that we're hearing from the residents here. >> my goodness. >> can't even put it into words. >> how are they feeling today? >> feeling lucky to be alive. that was first time they had been back to the middle school since it happened. we said why did you come back? they said we wanted to see how we survived. dillon just looked off into the distance and said i can't believe i survived this. he was almost swept away. he says he feels like a hero

because he doesn't know that many people that would risk their own life to save the life of someone else. >> so many people are incredulous and walking around and then definitely sinking in here, day five. >> a resilient community. >> incredibly resilient. thank you for sharing that one story. so many we have been hearing here in moore. a huge part of the recovery effort in town, the people themselves. it is the volunteers. some of whom are okies as they call themselves. some are from out of town, rolling up their sleeves, putting on the gloves, grabbing buckets and tools and pitching in to help clear the mess that this ef-5 tornado left. they're also stopping to comfort tornado victims. >> day by day we'll get through this. we ask in jesus' name, amen. >> thank you. >> met a couple of those volunteers today. a young woman who just moved to oklahoma to norman because her husband is a meteorologist of all things, right, and her mother who is from raleigh,

north carolina, happened to be visiting her daughter in norman when the tornado hit and she has not left since. take a look. >> i was supposed to leave yesterday, fly out. but then this tornado hit and i normally help with samaritan purse and i knew that they were en route here. and you have to sign up for it to get part of it. so i registered. so while i'm waiting, i heard through her church that they were working out here, doing this type of stuff, so i wanted to help. and as we say, be jesus' feet and hands to help people. that's what we're looking for right now is people that need help. >> you should be in north carolina back home right now. >> yeah. >> instead you're standing amid all of this, helping these people who have clearly lost everything. >> yes. >> what will you be doing today? >> so far i've done a lot of cleaning up, the yards and things like that, basically trying to find people who will -- who need help and we can go in, clean stuff up, get rid

of debris, maybe help fix some things but mostly getting rid of all the junk. >> we got chainsaws and so forth too to be able to help with that. but right now it looks like most of the trees are down in this area. not much. it is leveled. >> one thing that struck me being here all week is just the spirit of oklahomans. the okie spirit they talk about. people here who have lost everything have offered us water. >> wow. >> you know? they're giving. are they able to receive? do you know what i mean? are they taking your help? >> the big problem we're running into is the insurance companies are telling them, wait, so they can assess the damage. today we had a lot of people say, not yet. which is kind of sad because you look around and see this and then we can't do anything about it yet. there are some people who have accepted the help and said, thank you so much, and then said, of course, can we give you water, can we give you gatorade, anything? >> or can we pray with you. it is not just the physical aspect too, it is the emotional

loss that these people have gone pthrough. our heart goes out to them. it is a terrible thing that's happened here. >> so mom and daughter there, a lot of people coming in to help, including some folks you may not recognize and perhaps this guy to my right, who migyou might. he and his brothers have starred on the jonas brothers. joe jonas, welcome to oklahoma. >> i'm glad to be here. glad to help out in any way i can. >> you're here with convoy of hope. >> convoy of hope. my brothers and i have worked with convoy of hope now since 2009. they have done amazing stuff around the world. and disaster relief right when things happen. so the fact that hopefully today we're able to help out and the next two days helping with the debris and cleanup of what's been going on. >> you're a texas boy. >> i'm a texas boy originally.

>> originally. you've seen on a much smaller scale -- >> small scale. just even taking a glimpse, it is devastating, very sad. so -- it is a little bit encouraging to see how many people are around just helping with whatever they can. and it is a beautiful thing to see people coming together. >> it is awesome. >> yeah. >> you just got into town, like a half second ago. you haven't had a chance to really get around yet. >> right after we're done, i'm going to be helping cleanup with convoy. looking forward to working with some of the people there. >> what do you make of this? just looking at all of this, these homes, gone. >> it is heart breaking. and to see personal items that probably meant so much to them and hearing you only have minutes to leave your house, i can't even imagine. and it is a heart breaking thing to watch. and like i said, i'm just looking forward to being able to help out. >> tell me what exactly in the next two days you'll be here for two days with convoy of hope,

what will you be doing? >> i kind of came here a bit blind, wanting to just -- whatever i can do. and so obviously being able to raise awareness and getting people involved and helping them understand how easy it is to help out themselves, whether it is to donate money, go to convoy of hope.org or come down here. a short flight. it is kind of surreal to know that this could be so close to where we all live. >> right. >> so the fact that you can hop on a plane or drive down and help out and whether with convoy of hope or someone else, and that's why i'm here. >> what's your impression of the okies so far, joe jonas? >> very warm hearted people. seems like they -- they're very -- they accept any help they can get and they're also hard workers. it looks like they already have done so much and so much to do. >> let's say it again. convoy of hope.org. >> if you want to learn more. final question to you for the

fans, so you're here for a couple of days, you guys are right back on tour, june 1? >> yes. sometime in june -- july. july. >> july. >> yeah. >> as of right now, just trying to help out as much as we can. >> okay. joe, thank you very much. best of luck to you. it is awesome you're near town. coming up, we'll cover many, many more stories here out of moore, oklahoma. coming up, a story you have to see, though. a teen spent her childhood homeless in and out of shelters, but she just gave her speech as valedictorian. an amazing story. we'll share that for you coming up next. a 9-year-old girl confronts the ceo of mcdonald's about his menu. his response coming up. have hail damage to both their cars. ted ted is trying to get a hold of his insurance agent. maxwell is not.

to live forever. we have toiled long and hard to get to this point, but the reward has been plentiful. we are titans. titans are immortal beings of incredible strength, sass and stamina. we embody resilience, determination and strong will. and a titan was undefeated because every time he got knocked to the ground, he only got stronger. i know i have been made stronger. i was homeless, my family slept on mats on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle. i let the fall be my strength. we are the true titans. we are the ones who are made sacrifices to get to this point. our administration, faculty and staff have been the swords, shields and sandals that have helped us on this tedious journey, but we are the titans

who have stepped up to the challenge and we will continue to meet such challenges. gandhi also said, be the change that you want to see. be an advocate for change. be an example for others to follow. be courageous and change the world. stand up against the violence that has taken some of our peers. stand up and take charge of your education. stand up and face hunger and poverty. no matter what hardships you may face, remember that you are and will forever be a titan. >> you go, girl. by the way, the mascot at the school she mentioned is the titan. she referenced that in her speech. her hard work earned her a 4.46 gpa. she scored 1900 on her s.a.t.s. good luck to her. months of testimony, hours of deliberations, but the jury deciding if jodi arias should live or die still could not reach that much needed unanimous decision. so the entire ordeal taking an

emotional toll on almost everyone involved, including the judge. >> ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the participants in this trial, i wish to thank you for your extraordinary service to this community. this was not your typical trial. >> next, the emotions and what the jury foreman now has to say about this case. humans.

welcome back. i'm brooke baldwin here liv in e,oklahoma. we'll take you back to our special coverage here in just a moment. but, first, jodi arias has another chance to stay alive. the jury deadlocked yesterday on whether arias should get the death penalty or spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering her ex-boyfriend, travis alexander. here is the jury foreman talking about this whole ordeal. >> we couldn't allow ourselves to be emotional on the stand. we couldn't allow ourselves to show emotion, though i'm sure some came through. i'm proud of my peers, my jurors

that were with us. because they did a fantastic job of holding it together. different story once we got back into the jury room. gut wrenching thing we had to go through. and everybody had to make their own decision. >> want to bring in cnn legal analyst sunny hostin once again, joining me from new york. the real question, sunny, is how in the heck do you find a jury impartial? you almost have to be under a rock, whether you wanted to be aware of the jodi arias coverage or not, you have to be under a rock to not know what's been going on. how do they do that? >> you know, i think that it is go to be difficult. i don't think it is going to be impossible. you're talking about finding a jury, another jury now for this penalty phase. the prosecution sort of gets another bite at the apple, assuming the prosecution will go forward with the death penalty and there is no deal. i think the juries do a good job. i think this jury did a good job. i think it was clear when you heard from the foreperson. bottom line is people may have

in the community and in everywhere else really heard about this case, but that doesn't mean that they can't push aside what they heard and still be impartial. i think we find fair juries day in and day out in our system. let me say this, and i think people are sort of -- many people disagree with me, i think this case is ripe for some sort of plea deal. we found out about that in the gosnell trial in philadelphia. he was convicted of first degree murder and then immediately made a deal, taking the death penalty off the table and pleading to life in prison without the possibility of parole. i can't imagine that that is something that jodi arias wouldn't take. it makes perfect sense in a case like this. why put travis alexander's family through this again. i think it -- it is time to put it to rest. >> thinking about the family. you see the family members sitting in this courtroom as i would -- tears running down their faces. we'll see. maybe you'll be right. but this has been emotional. not just for the family, not just for the jurors, but for the

judge as well. watch. >> ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the participants in this trial, i wish to thank you for your extraordinary service to this community. this was not your typical trial. you are asked to perform very difficult responsibilities. >> sunny, you're a former federal prosecutor. you've been in your share of courtrooms. have you ever seen a judge like that get emotional? >> i have not. it does happen. judges are people too. but certainly i was a bit surprised. we didn't see the judge, maybe she had something stuck in her throat, maybe something -- >> i don't think so. >> carefully choosing her words. but it is a bit unusual, i think, for a judge to become emotional because the judge is

really supposed to sort of lead the tone, i think, in the courtroom. and this judge in particular has taken a lot of hits i think from people in the legal community saying she didn't keep a tight enough courtroom and allowed such a lengthy trial for something tha probably could have been tried much quicker. so perhaps it is just this particular judge, this is who she is. >> we'll see. here we go again. this summer, we'll see how the next round plays out. sunny hostin, thank you. >> thanks, brooke. coming up next, i've talked with a lot of survivors here in oklahoma. a lot of folks grieving or confused, lost. but this next interview is one that actually took my breath away. please do not miss this. >> help me, god. i'm the next american success story. working for a company where over seventy-five percent of store management started as

hourly associates. there's opportunity here. i can use walmart's education benefits to get a degree, maybe work in it, or be an engineer, helping walmart conserve energy. even today, when our store does well, i earn quarterly bonuses. when people look at me, i hope they see someone working their way up. vo: opportunity, that's the real walmart. and do you know your... blooa or b positive?? have you eaten today? i had some lebanese food for lunch. i love the lebanese. i... i'm not sure. enough of the formalities... lets get started shall we? jimmy how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? happier than dracula volunteering at a blood drive. we have cookies... get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

here in oklahoma, i have talked to many, many survivors of monday's tornado. many of them, they don't know what's next. they don't know where they'll live. they don't know what they will do, when the cameras and all this debris are both gone. folks who call moore home have

been brutally honest with me. but of all the people i have talked to this week, there is one interview that absolutely without a doubt took my breath away. i've gotten so much feedback from you that i just wanted to play it one more time. you're going to hear from a man, his name is jackie sing. his home is still standing, sort of. you'll see that the walls are there. the interior as best described is hit or miss. the tornado hit a lot, but it also missed some of the items that are most important to jackie sing as he shows me. we walk in his home here and the first thing he shows me on his mantle, look at that, faith. the faith sign on the mantle didn't move an inch after this ef-5 tornado hit and the peach cobbler his wife cooked monday didn't move either. but there may be one thing inside this home that the tornado touched the most and that is the man jackie sing. watch what he told me when he got very, very candid as we were standing in his backyard.

>> me and my wife talked about it, the word surreal, the word surreal does not sum this up. it is beyond that. it is -- i don't know if the lord has it that way, that you have all these feelings in your body that he's waiting to open up that can and let you feel them. there are a lot of emotions in our life that we don't understand until something like this happens and you're affected. you can see it on tv all day, but until you feel the experience, it is a life changing event. >> so your life is forever changed. >> yes. >> you have been here all your life. >> yes. >> will you be rebuilding? not that you have to rebuild, but will you stay here, will you fix it up? this is your neighborhood. >> i love moore. i have -- i don't have a fear of tornadoes. have a healthy respect for their awesome power. god created them. sometimes for five minutes, i'll think i'll live here, i love this place.

and then i'll think i'll move way. i don't know right now. >> how are your kids, 14 and 15 years old. how are they handling it? >> very hard. it is very difficult for them. and i hope going to school today, they opened up the schools for two hours, i hope that they will find some relief, talking to their friends and -- i can't describe how i feel. i've heard of the people on the west side of town that have nothing, i can't imagine what it is like to have -- to see a slab. it is the strangest feeling. i can't describe it. it is different. i'm 41 years old and the first 41 years of my life, are behind me. this is what's next. the next chapter. and i think it is going to make us stronger. because the lord is our refuge and our strength. that's all i have to stand on right new.

i almost wish i was on that side of the street and everything was gone and they were over here because of their brand-new babies. >> you wish your home was destroyed. >> i kind of do. it might be better to have those people over here and us over there because we have -- we have something and they have brand-new babies and -- sorry i don't know what to say. just help me, lord. help me, god. i'm sorry. >> don't apologize. don't apologize. >> it's been a roller coaster.

past 72 hours. walking through our house, the past couple of days makes us realize what's valuable and what's replaceable. i think we can put everything in our lives in a bucket. that's all we got to carry out. i have my wife and my kids, that's all i care about. all this other stuff is just stuff. we got our pictures and sentimental things. this is my dad passed away in '95. i wear his ring every day as a reminder of my dad. i wear my ring and my wife, that's the two people in my life that -- my mom, bless her heart, they went -- they just rode out the storm in bethel acres the day before. they were a mile away from it. and it's hard. very hard. really makes you change your thoughts of what matters in life. it really does.

you get so caught up in life and working and coaching and teaching and just trying to be the best you can be for the lord, and the lord gives you something like this, how are you going to react? how are you going to move forward? it is like the job experience. when everything is taken away from you, how are you going to start over? i think this is a test and i feel comfort in that. i know the lord has something just incredible for me right now. and i got to live every minute and feel what he wants me to feel. because he's felt everything that man feels. it's beyond all the sorrow and grief and hurt i feel. i feel this ray of sunshine in me right now. >> ray of sunshine despite -- >> despite -- >> despite the thunder, despite the storms. >> the hope of what god has for us. >> thank you, jackie, so much. >> you're welcome. i appreciate the time. i appreciate the outpouring of love. there has been so many people come through that have been so

friendly and so giving and their hearts are wide open to help all of us that are devastated. it is a tremendous feeling. of d driver systems ever made. stereoscopic vision... distronic plus braking... lane keeping and steering assist... eleven enhanced systems in all. ♪ twelve, counting your adrenaline system. the 2014 e-class. the most intelligent, exhilarating mercedes-benz ever made. see your authorized mercedes-benz dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services.

one of the self-styled wizards of wall street appears to think he also knows a thing or two about women. want you to listen to paul tutor jones. jones is a hedge fund manager and a good one too. the guy is a billionaire. here he is, breaking down what

happens to female traders right after giving birth. he seems unusually sure about this. >> as soon as that baby's lips touch that girl's bosom, forget it. every single investment idea, every desire to understand, every desire to understand what's going to make this go up or going to go down is going to be overwhelmed by the most beautiful experience which a man will never share about the connection between that mother and that baby. >> okay. paul tudor jones said that male traders when they suffer through divorce lose focus and thus lose money. it is the remarks about women that are prompting all kinds of reaction, negative reaction as you can imagine. with me from philadelphia is lori wax, founder of cross ledge investments. she has two kids ages 15 and 17.

so, lori wax, welcome to you. first question out of the gate, you know, you heard the comments made, university of virginia, by this man, what do you make of them? >> they're pretty outrageous. i'm sorry that he didn't take the time during his busy macro trading to actually look at some of the statistics which show that women, in fact, are better fund managers than men. we're a small piece of the overall investment pie, about 3% of hedge funds are run by women. but if you look at the decade of 2000 to 2009, those women run funds outperformed men by over 3 percentage points on an annualized basis. >> right. you point out 3%. that's the most recent number we have. women run 3% of hedge funds. on a personal note, were you in the business when you had your first child? >> i have always worked. i worked at a large investment management firm when i had my children. and i set up my own fund about 3 years ago. and many people have a lot of different distractions, but most people are also able to

compartmentalize and leave certain things at home and show up at work and do their jobs every day to the fullest extent that they have within them. and to make this kind of comment is just in this day and age really, really pretty upsetting as a woman who has always worked and who has really spent a lot of time focused on women related causes on this. >> so in his words, women, you know, post giving birth, lose their edge. did you lose your edge? >> well, let's look at my fund for the last two and a half years, which has beat the hedge fund equity index. hard to see there was some edge loss there. the fund i worked at delaware investments for 17 years, we were one of the top ten money managers of small cap stocks in the country. and we're many times cited as a wall street journal category king. certainly no experience here, and the statistics show time and time again, women are better investors, academic studies show

by about one percentage point for the general population, we have hedge fund studies that show this. there are a lot of facts to back this up. >> sounds like there are much fewer women in this particular slice of business. but they sound pretty successful including you. lori wax, thank you so much for sharing your perspective with me today as a mother. thank you. coming up, it is becoming a common thing to hear about sex assaults in the military. just this week, an army sergeant charged with videotaping women in the showers at of all places west point. well, today, president obama chimed in a very, very public way. his words and jake tapper breaking it down for us next. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us.

likewise, those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong. that's why we have to be determined to stop these crimes. they have got no place in the greatest military on earth. >> that is the president, but did you hear the words of john boehner? yesterday, he called sexual assault within the military quote/unquote a national disgrace, strong words from the speaker of the house. let's go to washington and jake tapper here, host of "the lead." this story, the contagion within the military is starting to get people's attention, isn't it? >> it sure is. i think one of the reasons it is getting so much attention, of course, is because of the allegations against two individuals in the military who are supposed to be in charge of preventing sexual assault. they are now being disciplined and investigations are going on. in addition, of course, there is this anonymous study by the pentagon indicating that 6.1% of

active duty women have received unwanted sexual contact in 2012 and 1.2% of active duty men, that's 26,000 active duty troops. and, of course, there is also an increase -- there has been an increase of 6% in reported military sexual assaults. there is a lot of activity right now in congress, specifically a couple of weeks ago we talked to senator kirsten gillibrand about taking it out of the chain of command and putting other -- have other members of the military investigate these charges. but you heard president obama at the navaldemyoday very strong, very forceful remarks. >> jake tapper, in addition to that, what else do you have cooking for "the le" today? >> we'll be talking about that bridge incident in washington state. we'll be talking about cyberattacks. we have a visit with gary sunise, very active with
