out front tomorrow, a google executive dead of an heroin overdose. police are finding a link between the google executive and high-end prostitute. that story is out front tomorrow night and anderson cooper 360 continues the breaking news coverage on the president's comments on the crisis in the comments on the crisis in the southern boarder. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com breaking news on president obama and immigration and we'll take you to a spot on mexico's southern boarder to see how all those kids are getting here. also, tonight, detectives in the cooper harris murder case wire up the car to recreate what that toddler went through before he dead. that and his father's online wife. mayor, crook and convict, ray nagin learning how long he'll serve his time in prison. we begin with breaking news. president obama in texas, the state with the longest southern boarder addressing the biggest problem there in years.

the flood of unaccompanied kids into this country. kids mainly from honduras, guatemala, el salvador, lured away by human smugglers arriving by the hundreds in the united states every day. tonight in austin, texas after an airport meeting that almost didn't happen because of politics, the president met with texas governor rick perry. he said he's interested in solving the problems, not in photo ops. the pop ticks surrounding this, lawmakers he believes fairly or not have been putting politics first and had a clear warning for anyone thinking of sending their kids north. >> while we intend to do the right thing by these children, their parents need to know that this is an incredibly dangerous situation, and it is unlikely that their children will be able to stay, and i've asked parents across central america not to put their children in harm's way

in this fashion. now right now, there are more boarder patrol agents and surveillance resources on the ground than any time in our history, and we deport almost 400,000 migrants each year but as soon as it became this year's migration to the boarder was different than past years, i directed fema to coordinate the response to the boarder, members of my cabinet and staff made multiple trips to facilities there, and we're also addressing the root of the problem. biden and secretary johnson to meet with central american leaders, as well as working with our international partners to go after smuggler whose are putting their kids' lives at risk. the challenge is is congress prepared to act to put the resources in place to get this

done? another way of putting it and i said this directly to the governor, are folks more interested in politics or solving the problem? if they are interested in solving the problem, then this can be solved. if the preference is for politics, it won't be solved. >> that's not all he said or being said about what he said. covering it tonight, michelle, the president had strong words. we heard some for congress, specifically house republicans. >> right, he also said it's time for them to rediscover negotiation and compromise and it's not really compromising when you won't give on certain top picks and the president even threw out there a compromise of his own. he said governor rick perry and others are asking for national guard troops immediately to be stationed at the boarder and help in the process of helping these children and the president hasn't done that yet but said okay, well i could do that if you guys will agree to pass this supplemental request for nearly

$4 billion, anderson. >> it's interesting. the president talked about officials visiting the boarder many times. the president himself not visiting the boarder, that's drawn a lot of attention. many were calling for him to go down there. he was asked about it during the press conference, and i want to play his response. >> this isn't theater. this is a problem. i'm not interested in photo ops, i'm interested in solving a problem. >> i mean, you could say, though, it's not just a photo op, that he could have made a strong statement on the boarder. >> yeah, this has been a weird situation from almost whatever angle you look at it and almost gotten to the point that now, you think if the president does go down to the boarder after this daily pressure from republicans and even some democrats, then it looks like he's just bowing to the pressure. it might also be, according to some analysts, maybe he doesn't want this to look as big of a problem it is. if he calls that a photo op and theater, when he goes to visit victims of a tornado or mudslide, is he saying that

that's just a photo op and just theater? so the white house is aware that it doesn't look good even to many democrats but are they going to go down there? we don't know at this point. >> dana, to the point of immigration reform and the supplemental bill, which the president was pushing today, partisan politics are a real issue in washington. the president addressed that, as well, today. i want to play that. >> i think it's fair to say these days in washington, everybody is concerned about everything falling victim to the partisan politics. you know, if i sponsored a bill declaring an apple pie american, it might fall victim to politics. i get that. >> there is partisan politics, dana, being played on both sides around this issue. i mean, republicans say look, what about repealing the law or changing the law passed in 2008 that is permitting this special treatment of kids not from mexico, but kids from other

parts of central america. for democrats, that's no go for a lot of reasons. >> that's exactly right. on that, i think, too, to be fair, that's actually probably more of a substantive difference than political. of course, anderson, nobody in this town could say with a straight face that there aren't politics involved in this. in general when you talk about immigration and right now when you look at the calendar, we're july of 2014 in midterm election year and in an election where republicans are very much focused on their base. and any republican who has run over the past seven or eight years knows that their base really doesn't want them to do aything except talk very loudly about securing the boarder. of course, he's right, you know, if apple pie as american were attached to boarder security, he might have a better chance. >> also, dana, with the crisis unfolding bringing the lack of immigration reform back to the forefront, do you think congress

might have more of an appetite to pass legislation? cantor losing and immigration reform was dead, is that a no go? >> before this midterm election, november 2014, no go. it's just not going to happen and let me tell you why, you know, when the president talks about politics here, he is right to really far extend in this sense. there are a number of republicans who want to do immigration reform but agree tactically that the speaker should not do it now because, again, this is an election, midterm election where they want to fire up the base and this would simply dif vehicle coy di. they said let's focus on the national republican party. the question is whether this got so kacalicified, if this will happen. >> dana, we'll come back to you shortly. we're hearing a lot from the president and others, loud

impatience with politics surrounding the issue, complicating not just his efforts but any efforts to figure out what to do. take today's meeting, until he changed his mind late today, rick perry didn't want to be caught on camera out on the tarmac shaking the president's hand. didn't want to do what republican chris christie did or january brewer or republican governor charlie chris. they took heat from the party and the climate is more partisan, hasher since then which may explain recent remarks about the immigration crisis raising eyebrows because in audition to be unfounded, they are pure partisan red meat and not entirely in character for the governor who runs a state full of immigrants, legal and otherwise. listen perry a couple years ago talking about educating undocumented immigrants. >> but if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they have been

brought there by no fault of their own, i don't think you have a heart. we need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. >> well, he quickly recan'ted that, by the way. even so, the rick perry of 2011 never went as far as rick perry has gone on these days. here is what he said last month about the current crisis. >> you either have an incredible inapted administration or they are in on this. i hate to be conspiratorial. how do you move that many people from central america across mexico into the united states without there being a fairly coordinated effort. >> that's the basic classic, i'm not saying anything. keeping them honest, the governor doesn't offer up facts. earlier that day, he did, however, make this factual claim. >> we have record-high numbers other than mexicans being

apprehend apprehended. these are people coming from states like syria that have substantial connections back to terrorists regimes and operations. so we're seeing record historic high numbers of these individuals being apprehended. >> wow, so extraordinary claims that require extraordinary evidence, right? we called the governor's office, they couldn't provide ordinary evidence for that one. in fact, they didn't provide anything at all. the non-partisan fact checkers did give that the lowest rating, pants on fire. state officials could offer no facts to back up the claim. the governor's office referred reporters to a spokesman for the state department of public safety that could offer no specifics and the number of non-mexicans detained at the boarder has soared, tens of thousands are central americans. immigration authorities saying last year they detained two nigeria nigerians, three pakistans, one egyptian and no syrians. governor perry isn't the only texas lawmaker making these kind

of claims. >> i talked to a retired fbi agent who said one thing they are looking at is terrorists sales over sea whose figured out how to gain our system and it appeared they would have young women who became pregnant would get them into the united states to have a baby, they wouldn't even have to pay anything for the baby, and then they would return back where they could be raised and coddled as future terroris terrorists, and then one day 20, 30 years down the road they could be sent in to destroy our way of life because they figured out how stupid we're beincog in this country. >> absolutely no facts to back that up because there are no facts to back it up, not then and not two months later when he came on the program.

>> you're going to keep me honest? you tell the world that you got an fbi statement, you bring on a retired fbi former supervisor and he says we were not aware of any credible report that this was going on? i brought it to the attention of america for this reason. it was -- i'm a former judge. >> did you bring it to the attention of the fbi? did you call the fbi? >> she brought it to my attention on an airplane having flown together and she brought that to my attention. that's why i was talking to the retired fbi agent about it. having talked to him, no, i didn't talk to them because the point is when we did the research, we found the hole existed. >> what research could you tell us -- >> attacking the messenger. anderson, you're better than that. you used to be good. you used to find that there was a problem and you would go after it. >> i used to be good. by the way, he's never talked

about this again, nor has anyone ever offered any evidence of this and the fbi says this never happened but he talked about it on the house floor, anyway. governor perry is no louie gohmert, we should add there are ways to criticize the preside president's handling of immigration that do not involve terror babies or syrian sleepers to unleash a human flood so that so far mainly seems to be damaging this administration. joining us jorge ramos and back with us dana bash. let's bring in david gur ra gin. >> many saying he's certain to run in 2016. is that what is driving this? >> i talked to a lot of people close to governor perry. it's not what is driving him, this whole focus because it is a very real crisis in his state and he is the sit-in governor. however, it is a happy political

event. that sounds bad to say but this is reality. it may be beneficial is a better way to say it because remember, and you played it, in 2012 the last time he ran, he really hurt himself with the republican base when he said that those who don't support in state tuition for the children of illegal immigrants don't have a heart. that is -- was absolutely the thing those close to him tell me that hurt him the most with republican based voters, so this gives him an opportunity to get right with the republican base and hit the chief opponent, president obama. >> jorge, how do you think this is being seen by hispanic voters, this crisis in particular? >> i really can't believe that we're basing our immigration policy on mass deportations. i thought that was resolved when mitt romney suggested it and lost the election. now i'm hearing president barack obama and governor perry and democrats and republicans agreeing on mass deportations. when we're talking about these

children, i think we have to talk about humanitarian crisis and treat these children as children. we have to treat them as if they are our own children. finally, i think president barack obama said most likely these children will be deported but the facts are different. if you talk about the 24,000 children that came to this country last year, the majority of them are staying here for a very simple reason, one or two of their parents are still here. >> jorge, plenty of viewers will hear that and say look, won't that encourage even more, another wave of kids to come, more and more children to keep coming? >> yeah, it's true, absolutely but the fact is that they have been talking about what is pushing them away from el salvador and we know and known for decades, it's nothing new, it has to do with poverty, unemployment and gangs. that hasn't changed, anderson. you know that.

that hasn't change in decades. what is new, there is a new law in 2008 and what is new is the perception that if you come here and that if children can cross the boarder, that they won't be deported. >> david, certainly the president of the united states is agreeing with jorge is saying he's tossing this to congress saying pass supplemental so change will happen. >> he is. and the president very carefully, low key statement tonight in which he treated this, doesn't mention the word emergency or crisis. he's trying to take the heat out of this story, i think n someways. he clearly does not want to have mass deportation and wants to put the blame on congress. but -- and i agree with jorge. listen, the children are central to what we now do but the fact is, the reason we have this massive number of children arriving, we've got a humanitarian crisis is they think it's a per miss sieve

policy and to invite more parents to send their children, 13-year-old, 12, 10-year-old kids unaccompanied on a 2,000-mile journey, a harrowing journey, 45 days in which they can get raped, molested, may die may seem is not the best interest of the children. treat the ones who have got here with as much care and compassion as we can. maybe find homes for them but work with people on the ground back in these three countries, the three most violent countries in the world so that children can live peacefully in their own countries. >> david, the fact -- >> david -- >> go ahead, jorge. >> i'm sorry, anderson, i completely agree with you, david, but the fact is it is risky for them to come here but they know it's a dry feet, wet feet policy we have now with central american children. they know that. if you are in central america,

if your family is making $5,000 a year or if a gang member threatened you to kill you or your family if you don't give them $1,000 or join the gangs, and then you have the reward of coming to the united states, you're going to be coming. again, it's a tragedy but the fact is that this is happening, simply because in washington no one is doing absolutely nothing about immigration reform. these are the consequences. we have to pay for the consequences and that's what we're seeing at the boarder. >> one thing i'll add to that, jorge, you talked about the 2008 law being hotly, hotly debated on capitol hill and there is no clear end in sight to that because you have some people mostly democrats who don't want to change that law for the reasons that jorge you just gave, that they believe that the central american countries are so horrible that the children especially who make it here should get the right to a hearing and shouldn't

automatically be sent back like the children from mexico and canada, which actually, obviously matters less and then you have mostly republican whose are saying they are not going to support any kind of funding to fix this problem. if they don't have policy changes and number one in those policy changes is to change that 2008 law to put that revolving door back there so that the children who are coming from central americaen countries are sent back immediately so they don't have the incentive to cross the boarder. >> david, was it a mistake for the president no to visit the boa boarder? >> i think it was a mistake. it was both about compassion and the fact that the united states really discourages people from coming. i think it would have been a wonderful platform for him to broadcast to the world, just as, you know, we had a kennedy who went to the wall in berlin and regan went to the wall. i think the responsibility of a president is to take the moral high ground and do it from a really important platform and that's at the boarder. >> leave it there.

jorge, david, dana, thank you. >> set your dvr to watch 360 when you want. more on the human factor behind the wave of immigrations. a rare look at a spot on mexico's board we are guatemala, where coming north can be as simple as taking a zip line or rope ferry. you're looking at live pictures there. rockets fired by hamas as air strikes pound the gaza strip. signs that an israeli ground seven could come soon. we're there on the ground when we continue. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.

failures in dealing with it. at the end of the day this is a profoundly human story that begins for many in the poorest and most violent countries and moves north from crossing points along mexico's southern boarder to border towns in this country. we're in both places starting with gary talk man liuchman on , guatemala boarder. >> reporter: when people cross from mexico into the united states, they have to do it dangerous and expensive. they hire cow coyotes. these are rafts you see in the river. all you need here, it's not expensive, you need a little more than a buck to get on the raft. it's easy and open. this river separates mexico from guatemala. right now we're in guatemala, the western most port of the country, up southern most part of mexico.

there are rafts of people trying to get across the boarder this is unlike the boarder of the united states where you have to be secretive. i want to give you a look to give you an idea how open this is. there are police here. there are police all over here and no one minds that people are going across the river from here in guatemala into temexico. you can see this family of three, a mother and father, they told me they are getting ready to go on the raft. the rafts are made with huge inner tubes and they go go into mexico. they are hoping also to get into the united states. this river is active from sunrise to sunset and in audition to the police being here not caring that people are crossing here in guatemala to mexico, what is amazing is a mile in this direction is the official boarder station. the official boarder station is down there. even though the boarder patrol people work over there, they don't seem to care. this is an active business. the going rate for crossing is

the equivalent of a $1.30. this is the family we met, a little child, a man and his parents and a man in the red shirt with the stick is the pilot of the raft and the guy that just got the 1.30. they will go to the other side into mexico. there are taxis and vans and also buy cycle taxis on the other side that will take them in a lot of cases in a nearby city in mexico and they will stay in shelters and then try to figure out where to go from there. it's a long way from mexico, the southern part of mexico here to the united states. it could take them weeks to get there, if they get there, successfully and that's an open question. >> the police are not only friendly here, they are encouraging us to go for a ride on a raft, saying, yes, go into mexico, we are. this is our skipper. your name, sir? >> palico. >> we paid him $1.30. is this a fun job? >> fun. >> easy? >> you like taking people into

mexico? >> sure. >> he takes them to mexico and then if they succeed, they end up in the united states but if you do this in the rio grand in texas, you'll be in trouble but here with palico, you can do it in front of everybody. he is now taking us into mexico but like most of the peopunliken the river, we'll head back to guatemala and watch people continue to cross this river heading north. >> it's amazing in this leg, gary, how easy it is. are people on the rafts worried what is ahead of them? you've seen kids riding on the top of trains. it's incredibly dangerous, a lot can happen along the way. >> hey, we've been here for a couple hours, anderson. this young lady is about to head to mexico. she wants to eventually meet her family in the united states. she's a little shy right now. people we've been talking to aren't scared. they are a bit apprehensive, nervous, excited, everyone we talked to knows someone who

successfully made it to the united states and says they have a better life there and that's why they want to do it, too. to make clear, the coyote whose take you from mexico to the united states charge hundreds of dollars, sometimes thousands of dollars but here that doesn't happen. you can cross for free in some spots but right here, literally is $1.30. that's all it takes. >> gary, appreciate that. thanks very much. from that boarder, my grants make their way north from mexico into texas. many families are caught and some turn themselves in. after processing and handed over with a few pieces of paper, including one that requires they go before a court to send them back home. marissa flores picks this up in texas. >> reporter: after traveling hundreds of miles, these central american families find a glimmer of hope at a temporary shelter at a catholic church in mcallen,

texas. [speaking foreign language]. >> reporter: most are fleeing violence and poverty in their home countries, arriving exhausted with nothing but the clothing on their backs, laceless shoes and a manila folder handed to them by immigration officials with documents in english. they say they don't understand. [speaking foreign language]. >> reporter: she says she traveled with her two-year-old son stanley by foot and by bus from her home country of honduras, nearly 1500 miles until she made it to america. then turned herself into immigration authorities, few meals a long the way, the fear and trama still clear on this family's face. she didn't leave anyone behind, but hopes to reunite with her husband in north carolina. [speaking foreign language]. >> reporter: not the case for this man. he left a wife and two children in guatemala, making the dangerous journey with his nine-year-old son who was

anxious to change his dirty clothing and sit down to eat a meal. [speaking foreign language]. >> reporter: he says he crossed the boarder and turned himself into immigration, spent three days with his son in a detention center, was assigned a court date to face an immigration judge and set free at a bus station. that's how thousands of people end up in temporary shelters like this one. this facility sees between 150 and 180 people a day. take a look around. it's a quick stop. they get fresh clothing, a blanket for the road and shoes and snacks for their bus ride and if there is time, they get a quick shower. sister norma established this temporary shelter a month ago and is already served more than 3,000 people. >> they may be stripped of everything but one thing they have is their faith. i think this is a beautiful

encounter of faith alive, you know, among our people. >> reporter: it's the common story here. she says she wants to protect her son from the constant sound of gunshots from her neighborhood and dead bodies on the streets. for sergio, he says he's escaping the extreme poverty in guatemala where he had trouble putting food on the table working in agriculture. as he and his son boarded a bus to reunite with family in california, it was left up to them to honor the immigration court date in that paperwork in the manila folder. sergio wouldn't say if they plan to show up for the court hearing. >> rosa flores joins us now. it is confusing what happens to the immigrants after they are apprehended. they are allowed to go free as we saw with that family until they are scheduled to go to this court hearing, right? >> reporter: you're absolutely right, and that's the crazy part

when you really think about it. here is how this goes down, so a person gets detained here in the rio grand river you see behind me and they do get processed by immigration. after that, after the fingerprinting and the such, immigration decides they can either wait for their court hearing while they are detained or they are set free. everyone, anderson, that we met today was set free. they left on a bus and reuniting with their families. >> and the unaccompanied kids are processed differently? >> reporter: they are. other federal agencies are involved so yes, they get detained on the rio grand river like you see here but then health and human services gets involved so they get a child wellness exam. they get help because their case is looked at on a case by case basis and one of the key things is, one of the goals is to reunite them with families while they go through the immigration process and we understand that about 85% of these unaccompanied

children are reunited with their families while they wait for the immigration process to go through. and i can tell you from sources that i've been talking to, they tell us that it will take about a year and a half for these children to get processed because it just takes that long to go through the immigration court process in the u.s. >> rosa flores, appreciate the update. up next, former new orleans mayor, ray nagin, remember him? he's going to prison. found out today he's going to prison for ten years for corruption. why the punishment does not fit the crime. drew griffin is on the case. >> israel and hamas, this could escalate even more very soon. that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve.. at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things.

ben joins me from gaza city. israel is stepping up in gaza today. what is the latest there tonight? >> reporter: it's quiet at the moment, anderson. it's 3:30 in the morning but about 15 minutes ago, we heard what sounded like naval bombardment on to targets within gaza city. the evening was fairly bloody for other parts of the gaza strip to the south of here, a family home was hit, seven people killed. children among them and another place in the same town, a cafe, outdoor cafe where people apparently were watching the world cup being played, that got hit, as well. conformation that five people were killed there. we have seen fairly steady strikes on gaza today, anderson, and what we're not seeing, however, is people on the street unlike yesterday it appears most people want to stay inside, stay

out of harm's way. anderson? >> ben, troops have mobilized along the boarder, right? >> reporter: to a certain extend, as you mentioned, the cabinet authorized the call up of as many as 40,000 troops but that number doesn't appear to have actually been mobile wised and deployed along the gaza boarder. so preparations are being made, the language as we heard from the prime minister and president points in the direction of an escalation, however. >> you can hear the call in the background. how much support does hamas have in gaza now? >> reporter: not an awful lot. a lot of people simply see this current flairup as a disruption. life is already difficult enough when the rockets start to fly

and israel strikes back, it makes life harder for many. as the death toll rises and our numbers point to more than 70 dead at this point since the beginning of this offensive, people, the anger starts to take the edge of the resentment and people start to talk for the need for revenge. hamas still isn't popular in gaza but the anger against israel is rising here, anderson? >> thanks very much. be careful. there is more we're following tonight. susan hendrix has breaking news out of tennessee. >> a man hunld underway for a suspect wanted for a shooting in western tennessee. it's near the town of lyndon. investigators are saying one person was seriously injured. we're following that story. also, a military source says sergeant bowe bergdahl is just about done with his face of reintegration is expected soon to be assigned to a new army

and even free granite for his family business, a mayor on the tape almost from when he took office. >> what ray nagin did was sell his office over and over and over again. >> that's a lie. we refute that lie. >> the damage inflicted upon this community to include, you, ma'am, to include you. >> i know. >> even for a city customed to corporation, it ends an era most in new orleans would like to forget. elected in 200 2, his terms would be defined by three years later when hurricane katrina barrelled down on a city that sits below sea level. a lack of hurricane preparations, inadequate evacuations and a police force in shambles left the city and the mayor literally pleading for help. nagin angrily speaking out on new orleans radio blasting then

president george bush for the federal government's lack of response. >> don't tell me 40,000 people are coming here. they not here. it's too dog gone late. get off your behind and let's do skpmg fix the biggest crisis in the history of this country. >> reporter: as the city recovered, nagin kept talking suggesting god was using hurricanes to punish america for invading iraq and said this about possible attempts to remove new orleans mostly black population from the rebuilt future. >> this city will be chocolate at the end of the day. [ applause ] >> icing on the cake. >> this city will be a majority african american city. >> reporter: it was racial lly divided but not enough to keep regan from being reelected and the rebuilding of new orleans after hurricane katrina would

only make the new orleans mayor more powerful in asking for kickbacks and bribes. he continues to profess his innocence but on september 8th, nagin reports to a louisiana federal prison to begin serving a ten-year sentence. >> drew griffin joins us from atlan atlanta. nagin faces ten years but in a lot of ways that's getting off easy. >> it is anderson. prosecutors wanted 15 and he could have gotten 20. only in new orleans the judge decides on the lesser sentence because mayor nagin got the short end of the stick. his share of the profits from this ring is a lot less the judge argues than the people dog the bribing so she gave him a lighter sentence. he's appealing but prosecutors may appeal the light sentence. >> amazing. thank you very much. just ahead, internet postings about fatherhood and babies believed to be by justin harris. they seem like they could have

been written by two different people and raise the question how did he really feel about being a father? details ahead. i'm living the life of dreams. i'm living the life of dreams, with good people all around me. i'm living the life of dreams. no! i'm living the life of dreams. i'm feeling hopefully. feeling quite hopefully, it's right up here, turn right, turn right. with good people all around me. right, right, right, right, right! with good people all around me. ok look you guys, she's up here somewhere. with good people all around me. there she is! cara! come here girl! i'm feeling hopefully. and the light shines bright all through the night. oh i don't know it. and the light shines bright all through the night. yes, you do. and the light shines bright all through the night.

crime and punishment tonight, we have details about what police staged of cooper harris. it's the latest as justin harris sits in jail without bond. he's charged with murder and child cruelty after leaving his son in the hot car for seven hours. he says it was a terrible accident. details about justin harris that have surfaced online. >> reporter: internet postings believed to be by justin ross harris seem to depict two different people. for instance, last year on what looks to be his account, harris talks about his new job and new

baby in glowing terms. i am now in my dream job, have a beautiful six month old son and love going to work every day. i wouldn't be happier. contrast that with this tweet allegingly from ross harris to a friend seven months later, new invention snooze button on babies. of course amusements of a sleep-deprived parent are nothing unusual but given the question of him murdering his son gives it new meaning. in a suburban atlanta parking lot, it was disturbing deja view. investigators scientifically reenacted the conditions that lead to 22 month old cooper harris's death using the same silver suv, the same child seat in which the toddler died, parked in the same space outside justin harris' office.

detectives could be seen wiring up immanents inside the vehicle and taking readings outside, seemingly coinciding with key moments in the case. the dad maintains he forgot to drop his child off on june 18th, instead leaving him strapped in the car seat for about seven hours before discovering his lifeless body. meteorologist chad myers says weather wise the day cooper died matched almost exactly. >> cloud cover, big puffy cumulous clouds going, yesterday and june 18th are as close as you can get. >> reporter: using their own measurements, cnn's experts say the interior of the car where cooper sat trapped could have reached close to 140 degrees. >> it's hard to imagine. you've learned about another alleged social media posting from the dad that could be crucial if the case goes to trial. >> reporter: yeah, has to do

with this hearing. this was something brought up in the courtroom last week. it seemed to be a surprise to investigators when the defense attorney asked did you know justin ross harris is deaf in one ear? it claims allegedly it says that he was apparently lost his hearing in the right ear as a result of a fireworks going off. it actually required surgeries to repair and he is still deaf in the right ear. that right ear would have been closest to his child that was in the car seat, you can bet that will come up greatly at trial. >> interesting. martin savidge. appreciate it. we'll be right back. on at&t's k for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expansion potential? add a line anytime for 15 bucks a month. low dues... great terms... let's close.
