and rick perry for example gave a good speech here, and i was talking to some people here who thought that rick perry would do better, and he didn't. so a fourth place finish for chris christie is a win for him on the heel ogs of a really goo speech from him. >> and thank you, peter hanby at the cpac, but the results of the straw poll is early, and 11% for ted cruz and then ben carson and chris christie in fourth, and all of them behind rand paul with the 31% big win there. we will have more news abroad and back home in the u.s. when we come back. i am jim sciutto, and the ho hours are passing without any clues or answers, and hundreds of families afraid they will

never see their loved ones again. i am talking about the disappearance of a malaysia airlines flight somewhere between the place it disappeared in kuala lumpur and beijing, china. there were some 239 people on board and so far, they have been told to wait for information. frustrating moments for them. the plane lost contact with the ground more than 24 hours ago now. and not long after this plane vanished the process of notifying the passengers' next kin turned out a problem with the manifest, because two people now boarded the now missing flight with stolen or missing passport passports. i want to get in our former reporter to the fbi and assistant analyst, but tom, as we look at this, and reminding our viewers that it is very early to even guess as to what brought this plane down, but how concerned is a detail like this making the investigators in your

experiences as the former assistant drirector of the fbi? >> well, jim, it is a very important issue to try to resolve of who actually used the passports to get on that plane and why. and you know, in a case like this, yes, it is too early to speculate, but however, law enforcement in the intelligence community can't wait until pieces of the plane are recovered or the flight data recorder or the voice cockpit reco recorders are recover and analyzed and then a month or year or two years from now say, oh, it was terrorism, and we should start to look at that. they need to look at every possible issue right now. extensively. that includes law enforcement authorities from every country who had passengers on the aircraft, including the united states. obviously, china had the most passengers, and over 150, so they are of great concern to them. it is a malaysian aircraft, and they are concerned. manufactured in the united states so that is a concern. so you have a number of countries with a direct interest

in resolving what the cause was of bringing that aircraft out of the sky and crashing it probably into the ocean, and even that has not been verified yet. but something caused that plane to leave the sky and enter the ocean or enter the ground, and a catastrophe has occur and still no clues. so all they have to go on right now would be who got on that plane, and try to identify each person. in the process of trying to identifying individuals that they thought one was from italy and one from austria, and they have contacted those individuals, and they say, no, i was not on that plane, and my passport had been reported stolen, and in this case, the passport from italy had been reported to interpol, and in interpol's database in leone, france, which has 9 million stolen travel documents in the

database, but apparently no inquiry made of that database, and whoever used that passport boarded the aircraft. >> we do know, and again it is early, that security officials are following this information, and a u.s. official telling me that we are aware of the reporting of the two stolen passports and no nexus of terrorism, and that is no means defiptive, and we are still tracking. i want to get to causes, because it is early, but what about the problem of the passengers boarding a plane where two of them or at least one of them in a database that would have shown that, and how worrisome that it was allowed to happen 13 years after 9/11. >> well, 13 years after 9/11, one billion airline tickets are issued and that is one billion with a "b" worldwide, and there is no inquiry made as to whether the pasport is valid or not, and no outside inquiry, and the

secretary-general of interpol has been aggressively trying to make the countries make that inquiry when the flights are departing as well as having them cross border patrol in their country. that happens in many countries that when you enter the country, they are checked not only for arrest warrants or information in that country, but also if red notices or other notices were issued by interpol out of the headquarters in leone, and currently, not many countries do that, and now interpol has initiated a new project called "i check it" where they are going directly to the airlines around the world, and saying, are you interested, yourselves to having access to the inquire of the database. right now, two airlines are actually doing it, qatar air and arabian air, and it is a pilot study to see how it works out, and then expand to other airlines around the world, so it will not require the government, but the airlines, themselves, can do the inquiry about the documents used to issue tickets

and boardingteresting, and you think that the computers are so powerful that you would be ibl to do that already. than you, tom fuentes, former analyst and drirector of the fb. now, also, overseas the ukraine crisis is more volatile with fresh rounds of bullying from the pro russian forces in crimea, and meanwhile president obama spoke with key leaders today, and all agree that russia needs to immediately deescalate the situation. the president spoke individually with prime minister david cameron, and this comes as secretary of state john kerry issued a note to his counter part of france, president hollande, and also to prime

minister lavrov. in crimea, a group seized a capital office in simferopol chance visited the scene after masked men showed up there, and said that the mood was oddly calm there. and a short time ago, i talked with chance about the situation, and this is what he had to say. matthew, two issues that the u.s. officials are watching closely is one, the number of russian troops on the ground there, and two, how the troops and the militias are used invading or taking over the ukrainian posts, government posts and ukrainian posts, and are you seeing more troops like that? >> yes, we are. quite significant evidence. in fact, today, there was a k

convoy of 60 military vehicles making its way from the russian border in the east of crimea all of the way across crimea, and heading out to the undisclosed location north of simferpol and also scattered around the region, there are outposts of forces that are pro russian, and they are not wearing an insignia on the uniforms and the vehicles are not marked, but nobody does not seriously believe they are not members of the russian force forc forces. nevertheless, the kremlin denies any forces here, but nev nevertheless, an organized group of pro russian forces arranged around ukrainian military barracks that were surrounded by many instances. and earlier as well, the army recruitment center for instance was taken over by masked men, and pro russians again, and they

took it over and evacuated here sh, and they replaced their own people inside, and civilians were brought in to man the offices. they put guards outside of the gates, and when we got there, they had taken down ukrainian flags there and they were painting the russian flags on the gates. and so, yes, it is a slow, but sure takeover. >> and you know, there is at lt of debate here, and speculation as to whether russia has carried out an invasion here, and does it kops tut an invasion or could it become an invasion? but practically looking, you are on the ground there, but is there any doubt as to who controls crimea now? >> well, i can't imagine that there is. i mean, obviously, we have to bear in mind that vladimir putin, the russian president says clearly that the russian forces are not operating inside of crimea. that is not the sort of view that you will get if you look at the situation in front of you. you do have these organized

forces, and there are many thousands of them, and then of course, i'm talking about apart from the presence of the russian fleet and the port of simferpol and they say that these are regular officers and men of the standing office of russia. because they don't have the insignia on them, you can't clearly identify them, but it is clearly russians and pro russian militias calling the shots, jim. >> thank you, matthew chance, on the ground in the middle of it in crimea, ukraine. and still, across the united states, ukrainians rally in support of their homeland in front of the capital. hear one story of a family as the situation grows. and learn why investigators say a woman tried to kill her own children. i always say be the man with the plan

but with less energy, moodiness, and a low sex drive, i had to do something. i saw my doctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the only underarm low t treatment that can restore t levels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor.

i'm jim sciutto in washington. did the police miss the chance to stop a pregnant woman are from trying to drown her own children by driving a van into the ocean. we are learned that ebony wilkerson was stopped two hours before that fateful drive on a florida beach. they suspected she was mentally ill, but they said they could not legally hold her. and our nick valencia has more on this incredible story. >> reporter: jim, she made the first court appearance where the judge set the bond at $1.2 million, and that is $100,000 for each count of child abuse, and $100,000 for each count of attempted murder. >> reporter: the sheriff's office says that new details in the investigation say it is not an accident. >> she told them to close their

eyes, because they were going to a better place. >> reporter: and then she drove her children into the atlantic ocean. the dramatic drive on daytona beach was caught on tape as the kids inside were crying for help. >> we thought they were having a joke, and saying, help. >> but then two onlookers realized that it was not a joke. it was serious. it was them who went to rescue the children. >> we heard the kids hollering and then i heard a faint "help." and then it became clear they were screaming for help. >> reporter: the children e's mother was charged with three counts of attempted murder, and three counts of child abuse. the family members said that she was in a abusive relationship with the husband and she had come to florida to get away. and relatives said that the pregnant of three, 32, had no history of mental illness, but a 911 call was made by a concerned

family member two hours before wilkerson allegedly tried to kill her children. >> i need to have a wellness check to see like someone who is having a psychosis or something, or postpartum. >> reporter: and the police said they did respond and evaluated for about 30 minute, and had no right to detain her. >> the children were not in crisis, and they said they were going to a dang, and no sign that she was putting them in danger. >> reporter: in convicted she could face a maximum of 30 years in priz sop, jim. >> and still ahead, here, 30 miles separate crimea from their families. >> reporter: jim, hundreds of

welcome back. and now ukraine may seem far away, but thousands of americans have family ties there in new yo york. and ukrainian americans in new york lit candles for protesters

in key eave aiev to bring suppo their family protesting. and rosa flores talked to worried ukrainian american, and how worried are they about what is going on at home? >> well, jim, good ooef evening. i road along with one of the buses that traveled from new york to d.c. and i had a lot of time to talk to the families, and i can tell you that i have a common thread, they all communicate with their families on a regular basis in ukraine, and they are all extreme ly worried about their safety. >> reporter: worry is the same in every language. >> you feel that horrible thing what happened and then when kids are dying, it is unbelievable. >> reporter: helena fenchenko

connects daily. >> and it is just, what did you hear? what did you hear? and we start to shake >> reporter: her biggest worry is war of what she calls a divide between the russian sp k speakers and ukraine. >> my father was from the east side. we love everybody. we are afraid that they are going to separate us. and not just even territorially, but what is the most important in the mind. they make us sort of enemy. but we are not. we are not. we are very friendly. >> reporter: hundreds if not th thousands of ukrainians in the u.s. are gathering in states like new york, illinois, ohio and connecticut to express their solidarity, and most recently in front of the white house. >> there is no deeper emotion that has come across this

country in many, many years. i think that since we gained our independence. and that was in '91. >> reporter: what is life like in crimea right now based on what your family is telling you? >> everybody is sitting home not going to work, trying to watch as much tv a as they can, but they are starting to get the russian news, basically, so it is the russian propaganda, and they are thinking that the rest of the world has basically forgotten and that we are not hearing what is going on. >> and it is not just the -- >> reporter: and fenchenko prays reg regularly for her family in ukraine. >> we want the live peacefully, and that is it. that is it. >> reporter: peace, another one of those words that means the same in every language. now, those demonstration organizers that you saw in the bus, in that piece tell me that they plan to continue demonstrating until peace is achieved in ukraine. jim?

>> well, the crisis there is hitting close the home here in the united states. thank you, rosa flores, in new york. i want to talk more about ukraine and the diplomatic challenges ahead with christopher hill, and also, f m former ambassador to south korea and iraq, and the dean at university international studies in denver. well come. we learned that secretary kerry called secretary lavrov and do we learn from the statement that the russian troops are escalating, and you are seeing more of the incidents where you have russian forces or the forces that the u.s. believes to be russian forces to force the ukrainian forces out of the ukrainian installations or taking them over. >> you bet. i think it is very clear that the russians have continued their military occupation in anticipation of a vote, a

referendum that is which as you know the ukrainian authorities have declared illegal. and that is going to go on, and the russians will be in a position to do something that is really going to cause a lot of problems for a long, long time, which is the nature of what secretary kerry was saying to the sergey lavrov which is that the united states has to frankly throw the book at the russians, and lot of other countries are going to do the same, because you cannot have a neighboring state take over a part of its neighbor. you simply can't allow that to happen. whatever the historical complex tis of crimea are, and by the way, a lot of complexities there, and a lot of the russian skin in that game, but you can't simply allow this to happen. i think that kerry was making that point. >> and now, am bbassador hill, u have done some tours right in the middle of this area. you have been ambassador to poland and macedonia, and the history of the yugoslavia war which has echos of this ethnic

conflict, and the russian involvement and so on. i wonder as you know, president obama has gotten a lot of heat for in effect tempting this russian military intervention with some of the policy decisions, and for instance choosing not to attack syria after the use of chemical weapon, and is there anything to back up the argument, and do you believe that it is a product of the obama foreign-policy decisions to this point? >> i really don't think that there is at all. russia is doing what it is doing in ukraine, because it has what it perceives to be historical interests there. this is truly a part of the world where the supply of history exceeds the demand. this has nothing to do with what president obama did or didn't do in syria. i mean, that is a long way a wa from this place right on russia's border. the problem is that we have competing narratives. we have a ukrainian nationalism, and by the way, if you want to

the start looking at the blame, there is enough blame to go to the moon and back and starting with the russians, and the ukrainians have had 23 years to start sorting out the problems of the economy, and to start sorting out the political problems and they have never been able do do it, but what we are seeing is the russian nationalism seeing this as a target of opportunity. >> well, you see the history, and you have to go back as far as 2008, and the russian military action in georgia and the history going back even further spanning the administration parties and hungry in 1996, and czechoslovakia in 1968, and i wonder looking at the situation now, there is a lot of talk about vladimir putin judging the u.s. to be weak whether it is obama or bush or either administration or either party, and there is a competing point of view, and a contrarian point of view that he is worried and he sees the u.s. in his view having sparked this demonstration right in his backyard and in his view sparking the demonstrations and the protests in the arab spring,

and is there an alternative reading that there is pushback from putin being pushed back in his own backyard? a sign of weak snns. >> well, it is clear that putin did not start this dance, and this is something going on in kiev due to corrupt and inept government there with the consequence that people wanted to sort of throw the rascals t out. i think that putin reacted and very much pushed by russian nationalism which he is part and parcel of. so i think that he is kind of gotten himself into the series of forced moves. what i don't think that he is adequately understood is that we have forced moves, and i'm using a metaphor from chess which the russians pride themselves on knowing, but we have no choice but to react to this. i think that putin should have been able to think three moves ahe

ahead, and understand that. so whatever he kind of got himself into, he's put us into the position where we have no choice, but to kind of push again against, and pushback against the russians, and so we will see 23 years of working with russia kind of going down the drain, and it is a tough time for russia. i would not want to chak change positions with putin and he has a lot of problems starting with the fact that his own economy is suffering from the same problems that the ukrainian economy has. >> and that is a good point, and if we get to the point where the sapg shuns are imposed, there is a lot of trade supplies and on the supply, and demand side. and ambassador christopher hill, few know that region as you do. so thank you for joining us. >> tonight, in the china sea, the focus is finding the missing malaysian jet. and we will explain one of the

this is just into cnn and this is about the malaysian flight that crashed off of the coast of vietnam, and we have new information about the americans on board of the jet that the americans on board were with an austin based company free scale semi kon dconductor d more than 20 people on board of the flight, and not all of them american, but the americans on board were working with or tied to the austin-based company. this is just learned in the last few minutes, and here is a statement from the president and the ceo of free scale semiconductor. at present, we are sole isly focus odd and the employees and the families. our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic event. and again, new information that the americans on board of this disappeared malaysian flight that disappeared more than 24 hours ago that they were tied to

this austin-based technology company. something happened on that flight between malaysia and china and the investigators are looking closely at the passenger manifest, because two of the people whose passports were used to board that plane have reported their passports lost or stolen. so that means that two people who checked in had passports not issued to them. >> well, jim, it is an important issue to the resol of of who used those passports to get on that plane and why. and yes, it is too early to speculate, but law enforcement cannot wait for pieces of the plane to be recover tord voice cockpit recorders are recover and then analyze and then a month or year or two years decide sitter errorism, and we should look at that. they need to look at every possible issue right now. >> that was tom fuentes, cnn law enforcement analyst, and former

deputy director of the fbi. and andrew stevens is joining us now where he is near the international airport in beijing, and that is the destination of the flight. so it is sunday morning where you are, and andrew, the passengers have been frustrated throughout, and is there any new information to give to the families or hearing anything from the airline? >> the only new information, jim, is that china has sent two warships to that area where an oil slick was reported by a vietnamese air reconnaissance team, but other than that, nothing at the moment, because the facts are very, very thin. you mentioned freescale there, and looking at who was on that plane from freescale, 12 malaysians and 8 chinese nationals wo worked for freesca freescale, and obviously, a massive tragedy for the company. but the relatives and the friends of those who are on

board still continuing to arrive here in beijing, and 120 family members of people on board are now at the hotel. there were 154 chinese nationals in all, and malaysian airlines is saying that one of the key priorities is obviously looking after the families and offering whatever they can, and whatever help they can. and also in the cam pew kampualo there is a search still under way, but still no definite evidence other than there is a oil slick in the region that was on the flight path of the plane. the only fact that we know is that it disappeared from the radar view just two hours after it took off from the airport.

>> very important clarification, because you are saying that the 20 employees of the american, the austin-based company, freescale semiconductors, none of them with were americans, but there were three americans listed on the manifest, is that right? >> yes, that is what we have heard so far from the statement from freescale. it is the 20 that they are talking about the 20 that are the malaysians and the eight chinese. as far as the search is concerned, the china has sent out an amphibious aircraft and some 30 or so on the medical team, and they have a water detection equipment on board, and diving team on board, and they are going into the area now, and that is going to follow the president chinese president saying that all efforts must go all out to find that claim and

find out what happened, and to carry out some rescues. >> it is interesting and a rare use of the chinese navy outside of the chinese waters and so that is telling as well. of course, they lost the bulk of the passengers on that plane. thank you to the anchor andrew stoo andrewstein -- andrew stevens. and as we told you, 239 people left on board, and when we learned the names of the captain and the co-pilot, one name sounded familiar, and i will let richard quest tell that story. >> reporter: we were filming for cnn business traveler on a flight from hong kong to kualo lump lumpur. and we believe that he is the first officer involved in the particular incident of this

plane. he had been flying for 2,700 hours, and he was transitioning from the narrow bodied fleet to the wider bodied fleet and a process that was well, well advanced and he had been in the simulator simulators for many, many week, and flying the actual aircraft under the careful supervision of the captain. when i asked him about flying, he just said that he loved it. he said it with was a wonderful experience, and particularly flying the larger, big, triple 777 mane that we were on board. it is one of the incidents that we now reflect upon as you discover coincidence of fate that we film ed the officer who is now involved. richard quest, cnn, new york. >> a face and story of one of the victims of the crash. a shocking discovery inside of a mission's garage, and woman found dead. her body found inside of the car

there. and wait until you hear the turn of events that led to tin credible situation there. there's this kid.

coach calls her a team player. she's kind of special. she makes the whole team better. he's the kind of player that puts the puck, horsehide, bullet. right where it needs to be. coach calls it logistics. he's a great passer. dependable. a winning team has to have one. somebody you can count on. somebody like my dad. this is my dad. somebody like my mom. my grandfather. i'm very pround of him. her. them.

welcome back. i'm jim sciutto in washington. it may not make sense, but a woman went missing for five years, and now there is a case that has shaken an entire community in pontiac, michigan. alexandra. >> well, jim, according to the

investigators the woman found in the garage is the homeowner. how could she go missing for so long without attracting any attenti attention. well, several factors. she was last seen in 2008 when she stopped working so that the employer was not looking for her, and also, she had estranged relative on the east coast, but the pair had not talked for a long time, and that person was not looking for her, and other things, too, the grass was continued to be cut by a neighbor for years at a time, and her mail was sent directly to the post office and nothing was piling up, and we now know that she had tens of thousands of dollars in the bank. the sheriff's office tells us that the bills were being paid through auto pay accounts and when the money finally ran out, 54,000 dlr$54,000 later, the ho into forecloes shsure, and that when the bank sent a contractor to the house, and that is when they discovered the body there.

is nothing to immediately indicate the cause of death here, so it could take weeks to figure out how what happened, because it is that long to find out how long it will take to get the toxicology reports back. >> and thank you, alexandra graeme in the field. and now, new into cnn, an austin-based company freescale semiconductor says that 12 of the employees are from malaysia and 8 from china which is 20 employees of that company were on that flight, but none of the employees were americans. they say that it is continuing to monitor the situation, and they will provide more information as it becomes available. now, chicago knows gun violence all too well, and in fact, the city's struggles are front and center in a new cnn series. we will talk with one man who is using his daughter's death to change the city for the better.

in the past few years, chicago has become the face of gun violence in the country, and many times our young people were the oneshe crosshairs as victims and we have a new series called chicagoland, and it addresses

the vie are lens in chicago. and according to the police the murder rate dropped from 18% from 2015, but it was not enough to save ha dee ya pendletohadea remember that she was killed after hanging out with her friend friends. and since then, her parents have started a foundation in her honor, and the project is to allow a place for kids. recently we sat down to ask what is the cause of chicago violence? >> you have a whole bunch of parents who don't pay attention to the kids. they will sit them in front of the video game, and playing the video game all day long, and shooting and killing people on the video game, and then they are not read iing a book, or reading something about their own history, and it is a lot of kids out here that know more about a video game or more about texting, and different things of

that nature than marcus garvey. you know, frederick douglass. you know. technology has really taken a big swing. you know, on these kids. and they just have to have a different chain, and a different train of thought. >> reporter: how does that contribute to the violence? >> it dissociates them with the other kids. other kids they don't know how the really interact with each other except with the video game. you know, you shoot a kid in the video game, and it is a reset button, and they come right back to life. you shoot a kid in real life, and a lot of times they don't come back to life. you know, or that something is wrong with them for the rest of their life. so, it just pretty much dissociates them. they need to learn how to interact with each other. >> reporter: and to some people, they may feel that you are blaming the parents? >> i am not -- i am not only

blaming parents. i am blaming parents. i am blaming myself. you know, i'm blaming activities that have been taken away from kid kids where, you know, you could find where baseball was a dime a dozen when i was coming up, and it is not like that anymore. and it is going to cost so much money to get them into a structured program. so they just don't have those option options. >> >> reporter: and you said that you are blaming everyone, and not just the patierents but yourself and the mayor, do you believe has done enough to curb the violence in the city? >> we are doing. i think that everyone is doing. i don't know how much enough is, but i think that we all are doing, we are trying. >> and hadiya epitomized what a good student was, and going on to meet the president, and then

going on and then all of the sudden, her life is taken away from her, and that is the heartbreaking pain of the city. >> well, believe me, it hurt us. we hurt everyday. i can't -- i know that me, personally, i can't necessarily speak for my wife, but i'll never get over it. so, you know, what i mean, the only thing that we can do is to keep moving, and hopefully, we can try to save another kid. >> is that why you made it your mission, because you can't, and if you didn't keep moving, but you would just stop? >> i would fall. >> reporter: what do you mean by that? >> well, if you stop moving, i don't -- i mean, i have to keep running, and that is the only
