except a mystery. before the sun went down the first and only physical crew cropped up. a search crew saw what they think was a piece of debris. pilots can only guess what happened. did the boeing come apart in mid air? >> and the confirmation got on that flight with stolen passports. emergency centers are up and running in beijing it is also where it departed from. that is where the national aviation chief spoke to reporters not long ago. >> we have intensified our

search in the area. initially, it was radius of 20 nautical miles and we have increased it to 50 nautical miles. we have included to search -- and the outcome so far there is no sign of aircraft. >> officials here say they have clues. one is a new indication that the jet liner may have attempted to reverse course and return home. we have looked at the recording and there is an indication that the aircraft may have turned back. but we are still looking for areas from the international agencies. one of the possibility is coming back to life.

>> the chief told us help was needed to analyze the data itself. the two men who boarded with stolen passports officials say they should have set off alarm bells. interpoll maintains a database of stolen passports. 34 from multiple nations have joined. malasian officials say they want answers and grieving family members too long to know where flight 370 went down. the search begins anew at dawn. >> jim clansy cnn at the briefing center. >> theories are emerging into how this aircraft vanished.

was it engine failure or something more sinister. jim tailman joins me now from phoenix. you see this plane vanishing. how do you process that, what do you make of it? >> it kind of goes against everything that you have known about aircraft and flying with an airline. whatever happened had to be catastrophic. if both engines had blown up the airplane would have been able to fly. and there would have been time for a distress signal to get out. why would the crew make that

turn if the crew was in fact in control. there are questions like that, that plague all of us looking for an answer for what happened. there has been a concern would use somebody else's passport to get onboard a plane. how significant do you see this? is there a possibility that this is a coincidence that both were lost in thailand? i find that interesting information but i'm not sure that i find it to be relevant to what happened to this airplane. the thing is you have to realize that getting past the cockpit door is what a terrorist would

have had to do. it is reinforced. of course that means someone ahad to coerce the crew to do something that they didn't want to do. >> i want to talk more about that. what would cause pilots to turn the way that they turned. would it have been something in the air? some sort of mechanical failure? what would case a plane to veer that way?

when you consider the fact that you have radio equipment on theary craft that senlds radio equipment realtime, there would be information going to the ground letting them know that there was a change. >> so the fact that they were not able to get off a distress call, the fact that there was that turn it eeliminated that kind of call. that would mean the plane being in mid air. the debris field, would give us indication of whether or not it goes up before it hits the water.

if it is more concentrated. it means the plane was in tact when it hit the water. we are waiting and hoping. >> everybody is waiting and hoping and a lot of prayers for the people who have loved ones onboard that flight. we appreciate your joining us. jim tillman former pilot and expert we appreciate your time. president obama will meet face-to-face with ukraine's minister as they talk wednesday at the white house. both leaders have called the referendum calling it illegal.

i want to bring in michael it to make it part of the russian federation. the thing that caught everyone off guard. it forced the president out, it is unthinkable.

there is pro russians fighting are pro ukrainians and here the people in the rest of the you crane are stunned that it came to this point and what you are referring to it must have been a complete turn around you had protesters with the west. they wanted a better trade and now they are facing something diff frept. what is the food there they are threatening to cut off natural gas they are putting the check on kieve economically. >> what it speaks to is the complex make up of the country.

and you have a large ethnic puplation with russian. some of them hold russian passports as well. and it moved as being threatening in a way. and putin was not being shy in stoking those fires. you have that ethnic russian population as well. you could see them also have a referendum. east of the country here and also in darnets, they are in eastern you crane there is a lot of fear too about how this could

spread. there is no question. >> michael holmes for us there. and coming up, you know him as the man who broke the water gate story. why his actions may be linked to world war ii.

putin has denied russian troops in crimea.

carl bernstein wrote the book. he joins us now. >> i'm not sure i understand that he is scarier than we can fathom. it is a complex situation. let's go to what we think we know and what is contextual. i think it is a hard story to get a handle on. there is so much happening so fast. you say he seems to be doing this as he go is along. he did this under the vail of his and his country. i'm not in his head.

i'm told that been one of the things that struck him is that he seems to be making this up as he goes along that he has started with a real game plan. he said that the russian federation would not be taking crimea again and then he changed that. he has been all over the place in terms of what he said and what is happening. i think the thing that we need to know cus focus on right now putin and obama, they are talking past each other. history and putin is greatly

angered and why he has agreed has to do with he doesn't think russia has to do with his, historical decision. he believes that the white house there are facsist elements in the ukraine. according to the white house to cry and keep such people isolated. there are different interpretations here. it is a dangerous situation. the off ramp that they have been trying to get him onto, he is not driving up to it.

it is continuing. meanwhile, you have a situation where your correspondent said destabilizing. one of his goals here is to d destabilize the ukraine. so he is playing to his audience. i don't know if i would put it like that. >> i guess the question would be look you say you don't have a plan. you have a personal story tell us about that. >> i was truck today. i suddenly remembered that in the 1960s in washington during the captive nation's week

meaning captive by the ussr i know covered a demonstration at the statue in washington in which thousands of ukraine yan americans protest the russian and soviet domination in the ukraine. many ukraineians in world war ii supported the nazis and he keeps saying that over and over and over. they lost more than half a million, 700,000 troops at ukraine. this is a huge danger flash point such as we've never seen and what has got the white house and the germans office so

concerned is there seems to be no way thus far to disengage in fact both sides seem to be digging in deeper. >> thank you so much. thank you so much. appreciate you being here. a new blood test could predict your chances of developing a life threatening disease. details coming up next. p that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

a coaching legend may soon come out of retirement in the big apple. the biggest name in golf has a breakout round. terance moore is a sports contributor for cnn.com. a columnist for mlb.com. the one and only phil jackson pare apparently very close to joining the new york knicks. plenty of offers before. why this time? >> this time it's a front office job. he's not going to come back as a head coach. that's out. you're talking about a guy who's 68 years old with bad knees, bad hips and a bad back. physically he can't do it on the court. but he can do it in the front office. you know, even though he has this strong relationship with the detroit pistons ownership group, this knicks thing makes a lot of sense. you're talking about a guy who was a legend as the new york knicks even as a player. played there ten years. the last time the knicks won a world championship was 1973.

phil jackson was on that team. the problem here, though, the fact that the knicks are horrible. you're talking about a franchise, they've only had one playoff series victory in 13 years. you're talking about phil jackson, a guy that's got 11 nba world championship rings. so it's still not a sure thing. but possibility. >> so just very quickly, as somebody in the front office, is he going to be in charge of looking for talent? in chicago he had michael jordan. in l.a. he had kobe bryant. is that what his goal is going to be? just seeing who the players are who can at least invigorate or bring some life to the knicks? >> his first goal would be to try to keep carmelo anthony there. because carmelo anthony is by far the best player. but he's a free agent. so he can easily go. all right. having said that, even if carmelo stays, carmelo is no michael jordan. he's no kobe bryant. those guys cared about world championships. carmelo cares more about statistics.

>> yeah. well, maybe phil jackson will be able to turn that around. he certainly had such an impact on his players' psyche. we'll see. switching gears, tiger woods. he has been m.i.a. on golf's leaderboards in recent months. he stormed into contention yesterday at the pga tournament in miami. his best round of the year, 6 under par 66. is he going to be a force at the masters next month? >> just like that old phrase, ignore that man behind the curtain, ignore what tiger did today. he's hurting physically. there was one point today, by the way, deb, where the opposing guy's caddie had to reach in the cup to pull out the ball his back was hurting so badly. that being said, tiger is obsessed with the masters. we know that because of what you just said. he had eight birdies yesterday. to put that in perspective, you're talking about a guy who didn't practice at all coming into this tournament because of that bad back. remember, donald trump bought this golf course, turned it into a u.s. open toughness.

it was a brutal win. the old tiger will still be able to be the old tiger. you got to say this guy has got georgia on his mind as in augusta, as in the masters. he's be ready. >> terence moore, thanks so much. always interesting to have you on. appreciate it. coming up, a handcuffed man shot in the back of a sheriff's car. now there are calls for the justice department to get involved. the day we rescued riley was a truly amazing day. he was a matted mess in a small cage. so that was our first task, was getting him to wellness. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. from contractors and doctors to dog sitters and landscapers, you can find it all on angie's list. we found riley at the shelter, and found everything he needed at angie's list. join today at angieslist.com

a louisiana man allegedly kills himself while in custody. it happened while he was handcuffed in the back of a patrol car. the investigation is now in the hands of state police. the man's family is asking for justice. rosa flores joins me with the chain of events leading to this death. what do we know for sure? >> i just finished talking to victor white's father.

he saps their ph says their fam devastated. they are hoping to get the autopsy results pretty soon. he says his son did own a gun but it's not in his nature to shoot himself in the back of a patrol car. now, here's what we know from state police. the sheriff's office responded to a fight. once they arrived on the scene, they arrested 22-year-old vikt tor whi tor white for allegedly possessing drugs. they handcuffed him and put him in the back of a patrol car and directed him to processing. once there he didn't want to get out of the vehicle, the officers say. so the officer called for backup. moments later the gunshot went off. aumpss say white shot himself in the back of that patrol car. he was transported to the hospital where he later died. now, here is what his family had to say. >> i can't see him -- they said being uncooperative. i can't see him in the light in

which they're trying to paint him. you know, because that's not how he is. he'll give someone his last. that's all he is. he'll give you his last even though he may suffer from it. >> now, all this is under the investigation of state police at the moment. we talked to the superintendent of louisiana state police. here's what he had to say. >> but we'll take whatever time it takes us to make sure that we can separate rumors and innuendos from fact. because that's what we want to do with facts them self. we'll take those facts as quickly as we can and report them to the district attorney. >> now, deb, one of the things that really stands out, i did talk to the sheriff in iberia parish. he tells me one of the things they did do, they bagged the hands of both victor white and the officers. you know that's an important piece of evidence. >> absolutely. >> they'd be looking for gun powder in this case. the results of that have not been released or have not been released yet. but it's going to be an important, key piece of evidence. >> one thing even more important is that the deputies did find

drugs, but they didn't find any gun. so how did he get this gun that he allegedly shot himself with? >> you know, i asked the sheriff that question. i said, how can you frisk someone and find drugs, yet not find a gun? he said he's troubled by that as well. it's not something that he's obviously comfortable with. he said those deputies should have done a better job at doing that, is what he's alleging. >> been a little bit more thorough. >> right. we're going to have to see the results of the investigation and see where it all ends. >> certainly want to keep an eye on it. thank you so much, rosa flores, for that report. for that report. appreciate that. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm deborah feyerick in for don lemon. we're fast forwarding to the week ahead. we'll look at all the stories we'll be talking about and hearing about this week. five questions for the week ahead. first, question one. where is malaysia airlines flight 307? it is a huge airplane. a boeing
