and there you see the search continues for the man who ambushed state troopers. >> we start in virginia where it has been just over one week since hannah graham disappeared. hannah was last seen wandering outside a mall. witnesses say a man had his arm around her and police now say that man is jesse matthew. while he has been interviewed, he has not been arrested. hannah's parents pleaded with the public to think hard about what they may have seen saying no clue should be overlooked. >> i think that the reason that hannah has such support is that this is every parent's worst nightmare. i'm certain that everybody in this room and those watching knows that what happened to
2:02 pm
hannah could happen to their child. we need to find out what happened to hannah and make sure that it does not happen to anybody else. you may have read that hannah was a second year student, a skier, a musician, a softball player. she likes to help people and she's interested in a career in helping others. just as a little example, last spring break instead of hanging around on the beach like other students may have done, she spent a week in tuscaloosa rebuilding houses in the recovery from a tornado. that's hannah. hannah is also our little girl. she's our only daughter. did you see hannah? did you see hannah? who saw hannah? somebody did. please, please, please, if you
2:03 pm
have anything, however insignificant you think it may be, call the police tip line. anything that just might help us to bring hannah home. when i returned home from bringing hannah back to charlottesville for the beginning of term last month, i found that she left this little guy behind. this is hannah's favorite white rabbit, bebe. he was given to hannah by one of my friends when she was less than a week old. bebe helped out in tuscaloosa and he was hannah's constant guardian, companion, friend, and guardian angel until last month when she chose to go to char -- charlottesville without him. he was lost once when hannah was
2:04 pm
about 3 years old. we found him and brought him home to hannah and us. all we want to do now is bring hannah home safely. >> your heart just goes out to that family. also with me on the phone, ed smart, the father of kidnapping survivor elizabeth smart, as well as psycho therapist. jean, it seemed like there was a loft of emotion in that room. what did you notice? >> this was a press conference with law enforcement authorities. we knew it was going to happen. we were all here. we were hearing the latest information on the investigation and when we suddenly heard that the parents of hannah graham were going to speak because they have never said anything to this point. i think everyone just stopped. and i think took a breath and they entered the room and her mother was shaking. and just to get through that press conference for mrs. graham, i could tell was the hardest thing i'm sure she has
2:05 pm
ever done. and mr. graham was trying to be so strong as he was talking and asking for the plea for anyone to help find his daughter. >> it was heartbreaking to see her reaction. mr. smart, you have been where these parents are right now. is there any comfort you can offer them? >> i think that his comment, you know, this is the worst nightmare for any parent is absolutely true. and i'm so grateful that they stepped forward because their word is going to keep her face out there. and this -- at this point i think that's one of the most important things. it sounds like the community has really come together. the students there and others are helping in this search which is critical. the fact that they haven't found a body would indicate that there is still hope out there. and so, as a paraphernalent, i s
2:06 pm
one of the hardest things they could have done to step forward. many people who have been in their situation, they found it incredible difficult to step forward in such a traumatic moment to have to speak. but this is their daughter and her life depends on them coming forward and sharing what they know and asking for help. nothing brought more hope to us as parents than the community's outpouring of love and helping to search and keeping that search alive. and right now i believe that's what's critical in trying to mobilize people and find them. because somebody undoubtedly did see something that night. they may think that it was insignificant but it's so important for those that were there in that vicinity that evening to call, you know, something that might not be -- they might have heard a noisor
2:07 pm
something that would have been insignificant, but it's just really important for those tips to come in and people that have, you know, legitimate tips to call in for sure. >> right, you never know what clue could crack the case wide open. jean, the chief of police we know got very animated as well when he talked about the man that he says was the last to see hannah alive. at least their best calculation. what is the latest in their investigation? >> you know this is highly unusual. normally in an investigation, they keep this information close to their vest. but the police department has chosen to be extremely transparent here. the name is jesse matthew. that is the person police want to talk to and the police chief made no bones about it. they believe that ms. graham was in the restaurant with him. that they exited together. that they got together in his car and left. that's why today on the
2:08 pm
multiscreen we shaw all of the pictures of the car. they are asking anyone who saw in the last few moments in that restaurant, outside that restaurant in that car driving on the street to see what you saw and come forward to law enforcement. that's where they need help, i believe. >> and there are still a lot of unanswered questions. clearly we heard from mr. smart talking about no body has been found. we did hear from a volunteer who is leading the efforts to search the area saying they have covered 65% of the city. i want to ask you a little bit more about what we just heard from the father of hannah graham as he described his daughter. do you think in part he was perhaps appealing to what could be a captor? >> well, yes. i mean when you listen to the father talk, you can almost get a three dimensional picture of who his daughter is. somebody who is very loving,
2:09 pm
somebody who is very trusting, perhaps somebody who was a bit naive. in making his daughter more real to the public, that means the public will want to get involved in a different kind of way, in a more meaningful way and that's really helpful to the process where somebody will say wow, this missing person is a really good person. it sounds like she really needs our help. let's really work together on figuring out the clues. it might be on a very unconscious level but that's the way human beings operate especially when we think somebody who is good and vulnerable who shouldn't be missing goes missing. >> and also, robbie, there are dozens of school students who have joined this volunteer effort. how might this be impacting those students? school just got going for these folks? >> i'm sure this raises an appropriate level of fear among
2:10 pm
the students in the campus because i'm sure they're thinking this could happen to me. this could happen to any one of us. so it just brings the situation and makes it that much more real. as a community it sounds like the students are taking a pro active stance where they are getting actively involved trying to resolve the situation. where that's good is they are taking control where they can take control and they're trying to resolve the situation in the best way that they know how. >> one last question for you, it was years before you had answers in the case of elizabeth. these parents have now had a week without knowing what happened. what should they be doing? how do you get through something like this with not having answers? >> you know, i think there are a number of things. one is i know that the prayers of everyone certainly helped us as a family move forward.
2:11 pm
and two, i think it is critically important for them to stay out in the public to garner attention and to help keep her face there so that those who are able to come out and volunteer and help in the search do that. i think that is so incredibly important. i think also the fact that there has not been an answer yet still leaves hope that they will be able to find her. and our thoughts and prayers are certainly with that family. you know, i just would call out to everyone to try to help find her and that, you know, the effort of the students to go out and help search is also very valuable and hopefully will bring a good end to this. >> ed smart, jean and robbie,
2:12 pm
thank you for your time and all of the information today. the parents of hannah graham were not the only ones making an emotional plea to the public. >> if that young lady has touched your lives in anyway, you have the responsibility to help us find her. >> hear what the police are doing next. plus president obama to address the u.n. this week. will he ask for air strikes? syria?

2:16 pm
earth. let me say that again. i believe jesse matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the earth. because it's been a week and we can't find her. but somebody knows where she is. somebody has got to know where she is. and we want to know who that person or persons are. i have made no mistake about it. we want to talk to jesse matthew. >> for more information now on the investigation, let's turn to charlottesville police captain, gary pleasant. thank you so much captain. let's start with jesse matthew. we just heard the chief of police saying they believe he is the last person to have seen hannah graham before she went missing. what is he telling you about her last where abouts and what
2:17 pm
happened? >> the only conversation we really had with him was when we served the search warrant on his car and subsequently his apartment. that was a very short conversation and fairly meaningless to what we were looking for. >> so at this point, he has not given you any clues that point you in one direction or another? >> that is correct. the pertinent information we would like to have from mr. matthew has not been forthcoming. that is correct. >> we understand there was some evidence that was seized when you executed the search warrants. as far as that evidence goes, are you in the process of processing it or do you have the answers you're going to get from it at this point and need more? >> no, that evidence is at the state lab in richland. they were working on it all day yesterday and again today. we have gotten some results but
2:18 pm
we still have other results that we are waiting for. that may be tomorrow but it could be tuesday depending on how quickly they can process that. >> you have said that nothing points to anything criminal or foul play, but you're not discounting anything either. do you have any reason to believe foul play was involved? >> well, again, we don't overlook anything and i can't get into what evidence we may have. but at this time, we just have to -- we have to look at every aspect of this and that's what we'll do. i don't want to, nor will i pin us down in any direction. >> have you been able to narrow the search area in anyway? >> we have searched the majority of the center of the city of charlottesville. the searchers have been great. at this time we have to really go back and look and see where we need to go from here. we don't have any definitive
2:19 pm
area we need to go to yet. hopefully that will come up with more evidence with more statements of people who may have seen something. >> we hope so, too. captain gary pleasant, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> despite a massive manhunt in pennsylvania, a suspected police killer is on the run. frein, who is described as a self-taught survivalist is accused of killing one state trooper and wounding another. that was nine days ago. authorities thought they were closing in on him friday. there was gunfire but they later said that was not connected to the search. at a news conference today, pennsylvania state police did say they are confident frein will be found. >> at this point we have additional reason to believe that the subject still remains in the area.
2:20 pm
we are fairly confident of that information. while we continue to follow up on any other tips or leads that we get regardless of where those are, we have really focused our search efforts over a fairly broad geographic area. >> one other interesting piece of information he said they are making progress and did find several items that frein has abandoned like an aka 47 style weapon. they think they are getting closer. here you are looking at the top ten most wanted poster of frein. there is a $1,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. in just 24 hours there were two separate security issues at the white house. this man even made it in the front door. that has a lot of people asking is the secret service doing its job?

2:25 pm
of the white house, making this act more surprising. >> everybody out. right now. into the park. >> reporter: two incidents at the white house within 24 hours, raising serious questions about security. friday night the man captured on this cell phone video not only scaled a fence, he ran up to the building and barged through the front door. he has been identified as 42-year-old omar gonzalez. >> they are going to have to do something about the fence even if it is something as simple as curving the bars to make it harder to scale. time buys you options. right now they don't have time. you stale t you scale the fence ask you're almost right at the door. >> officers did not shoot. he did not appear to be carrying anything and may have been mentally disturbed. but now, gonzalez was carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon, a
2:26 pm
folding knife like this one. also, gonzalez told the secret service agent that he was concerned that the atmosphere was collapsing and needed to get the information to the president. the incident happened just four minutes after the first family had left for the weekend. once he got inside, officers apprehended gonzalez and he was taken to the medical center for evaluation. he retired from the military in 2012. no k-9 teams were released to chase down the intruder. >> i have been there for hundreds of fence jumpers and they never make it close. you know, we have dogs. there is multiple layers of security. there was a failure here. >> and on saturday, a second security incident at the white house. the secret service says a new jersey man failed to stop at the entrance while driving his car.
2:27 pm
he was arrested and charged with unlawful entry. it happened at 15th and e street. the car did not stop when ordered to do so and then got out of his vehicle and refused to leave. the secret service confirms that before he had on foot tried to get access to the white house at a separate white house and was turned away. >> jerry murphy told cnn that gonzalez was suffering from ptsd from his time in the military. mer if i told cnn that the war messed with his but he was a great guy but he lost his mind serving his country. >> now president obama takes the world stage this week at the u.n. up next, will he be able to sell his plan to defeat isis? when you compare the top speed of dsl from the phone company

2:32 pm
now so many families are on the run. a u.n. official says more than 100,000 refugees fled from syria into turkey in just the past 48 hours. turkey has opened some border check points. and this, the man of an isis s hosta hostage, his wife is making an emotional plea. her husband is described as a peaceful selfless man who only went to syria to help the people in need. isis has not responded to her pleas. let's bring in a panel to discuss this. rick, michael, and with us as well cnn national security analyst, juliet. president obama speaks wednesday at the united nations. what does he need to say about
2:33 pm
isis to try to get more people to support the fight? >> pubically when he is addressing not just the nations but also the world he has to talk about this as a global fight. not a religious fight but a global fight. i think what we can anticipate what realistic anticipation to try to get countries to be better about securing their borders. we have to stop the movement of people to join isis and of course getting the flow of money to stop which is how terrorist organizations like isis thrive. those would be two pieces saying the countries would help militarily. that the president can get the countries in the one to one meetings that he will have. >> and there will be a meeting to talk about cutting off the flow to terrorism. that's supposed to happen sometime in november.
2:34 pm
i want to turn to you. we have heard from your admiral who has said the end game is not just destroying isis fighters but you really have to destroy their ideology. >> you can't. you can go after the practitioners but the ideology will go on. you have -- i think the president has to sell, we also have to get countries to sign up to participate. and from what i can tell you of the 40 or 50 nations i have not seen anybody willing to actually put troops on the line. >> and that's a good question. we have been asking how do you do this without troops on the ground. turkey is right there, right along the border with syria. they have really been heavily involved recently because of the refugees going into the country. we also know that turkey is one of the main routes for some of these foreign fighters to get
2:35 pm
into syria to join in the fight with isis or other extremist groups. and then we saw 49 hostages from turkey that were just released by isis. how does turkey play a role in all of this? >> it's in a very difficult position. the hope is that the release of those hostages which has happened under dodgy circumstances, this will liberate the turks to take a more robust and military type position in this anti-isis coalition. one of the problems is that 500 mile border between turkey and syria. i have crossed it myself. i have been down there several times. it is completely porous. it is true that the turks are tightening up their border practices. you can go inside some of these towns along the border and they have become triage centers. isis guys are in these areas.
2:36 pm
this is a real problem. if you are now president, if you actually do take the fight against isis, you are going to invite retaliation strikes. there is this national security consideration. >> turkey would have greater reason to join the fight in a broad level against isis. juliet, should turkey be taking a stronger military stance? >> yes, i mean to everyone in terms of the lay of the land, is there are things that these countries are going to do including access to military sites and positioning and also intelligence that they are not going to be public about and we should feel comfortable in this very complicated setting that they not pubically say. there is a long list of countries that the three of us know are helping. saudi arabia, jordan, turkey and others in ways that they will
2:37 pm
not be comfortable being public about. and i don't think we need to force them to be public at this stage. for the same reasons, it just begs retaliation for countries that are much more susceptible than we are right now. >> a lot of the focus this week has been on syria because of this new announcement that we're going to attack isis with air strikes and arming the rebels there but what about iraq? they have a new prime minister there who is said to have more of a unity type government. are we seeing the political climate there change? is that changing strategy militarily in terms of coordinating with iraq? >> it's changing but at a very slow space. these are two key posts and who they appoint will be really indicative of how inclusive they want to be. we need to have an increasive government in baghdad to win back the sunnis.
2:38 pm
they need to feel like they are part of the government. but that's not going to change the need that somebody is going to have to go up there and push isis out of iraq and we're hoping that the iraqi military will be able to stand up and do that. they have stopped the advances of isis but they haven't turned them back yet. every time the iraqi army goes against these guys they get stopped. it just has to happen in concert. the military has to stand up. >> we will have to end it there. thank you both, all of you. thank you. the minnesota vikings face the new orleans saints today without adrian peterson. how viking fans are reacting peterson's absence. listen up, thunder dragons, it's time to get a hotel. hey, razor. check this out. we can save big with priceline express deals. hey you know what man, these guys aint no dragons. they're cool. these deals are legit.

2:43 pm
pretty well. the saints came out and scored the first 13 points. the vikings just were not able to find the end zone. they lost the game 20-9. they can't sit around and worry about when or if he is going to return to the team this season. >> it's tough, man. everybody knows, peterson is a hall of fame running back. but i always believe in next man up. >> at this point we're just going fwraurd thinking he's not going to be here and try to get better every day. we wish he was here but we will get better as a team and keep moving forward. >> i know he's probably dying to play with us and see what we doing and just get back on the football field. >> and the next court appearance is october 8.
2:44 pm
if it goes to trial, it will likely not go to trial until sometime next year and that means that peterson will probably not play again this nfl season. >> how are fans reacting to all of this? >> vikings fans especially. they had a mixed reaction to the whole situation. some fans thought that he shouldn't be playing right now and some fans thought he should be playing until the legal process plays out. but no matter who he talked to, no matter how bad the pr nightmare is, they will still come to the games and watch nfl on sundays. >> all right. thanks. nfl games have been overshadowed with the headlines of spousal abuse and in adrian's charge of child abuse. let's bring in a couple of people with unique perspectives on this story. jamaal anderson played for the
2:45 pm
atlanta falcons for eight seasons. as a former player, how would you grade roger goodell's handling of these domestic violence cases? >> i think roger goodell said it first, that he has been wrong and that the nfl has been wrong and some of the decision making. are we at this place right now if there is a six-game suspension issue for ray rice and new policies have been implemented. goodell admitted that there have been some mistakes. certainly took more measures with respect to the investigation into what happened initially with ray rice. >> jamaal, in your opinion is an apology enough? >> no. that's why you are seeing the fbi special investigator come in and take over this investigation for the nfl. i know there are two owners who are assisting in the investigation. we want to find out.
2:46 pm
i think that the facts need to come out. ray rice, his camp is contesting one thing and you have the organization saying one ning. and goodell, what really happened in those meetings. and then the decisions there after, they would all not make sense based on what happened then. >> they are pointing fingers at the owners of these nfl teams who still have power to make their own disciplinary decisions in some cases. some players accused of domestic violence are still playing. others like peterson, of course, are not playing. does the nfl meet a poneed a po is consistent? >> absolutely. if they had one, we would not be in this mess. imagine if roger goodell and the owners stuck by the new rules
2:47 pm
that goodell laid out at the end of august where he said your first offense, automatic six game suspension. second offense is an indefinite suspension that is appealable. but imagine if they actually followed that. let's say you have got a situation where a player is arrested no matter who it is. imagine if the nfl simply had a six-game suspension take place immediately. just put him on the bench. if you have a very clear policy, everybody knows what they're supposed to do. they know what the punishment is. and they know that the nfl is not going to stand for any b
2:48 pm
bologna. if they simply stuck by that we wouldn't be in this mess that we're in right now. >> jamaal, there have been calls for a zero tolerance policy. if you are arrested for domestic violence you are off the field. >> i'm all about there being a proper investigation. if you have a situation such as what was occurring with greg harding where he was actually convicted and found guilty and now is appealing? that is a separate sitweiguatio. i definitely want there to be a process there. and the emphasis that we're putting on it now is of critical importance. but clearly something needs to change in the court system. the nfl right now is taking it because they needed to handle a situation from the beginning that was not taken care of the proper way. >> here's the thing. the nfl has decided that they want to be a leader in the
2:49 pm
conversation about domestic violence. and as a former criminal defense attorney that has years of experience handling these cases, the nfl frankly has no business, no authority and no training to properly deal with these cases. look at ray rice. 90% of these victims the victims recan't. you wait for the criminal justice system to play out and you let that be your justification, the case is not going go somewhere. the nfl needs a policy that says an arrest is a violation of the player conduct code. ray rice was arrested in february. he and his wife have moved on. they didn't punish him until july. >> i think to say that this is a learning experience would be an understatement but it's good to have this conversation. we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. >> one year ago gunmen stormed this mall in a bloody attack.
2:50 pm
2:52 pm
2:53 pm
2:54 pm
at least 67 people were killed. hundreds more were wounded in this attack. cnn was in kenya at that time and has a very personal look back. >> i remember, ana, just finding it very difficult to believe this could be happening in this incredibly familiar place, the west gate mall, it was somewhere where we would meet more coffee, you'd go there with friends. we were calling around our contacts, calling around our government people and being told, it's just a bank robbery, this is just a bank robbery. but even when we didn't want to believe this could be happening, there was a part of me that was thinking, this is happening, this is really happening. and then my producer, our producer, laposa, who is a south kenyan, got to the scene before me. i remember she called me and there was this catch in her voice and she said, this really happening. and the police cordon was just so close to the mall and there was this sense that at any moment, it could just -- the
2:55 pm
violence could spill out on to the streets. there was never any sense in those first few days that the government was in control of this. and i remember we started to recognize some of the family members that were coming looking for any kind of word, any kind of hope that their loved ones that they couldn't get hold of were in there and they were alive and talking to them. then over the days as they passed, seeing them lose that hope, then speaking to them again and realizing that the people that they were looking for weren't with us anymore. that hthey hadn't survived. what makes it worse really, even a year on, when you go back and speak to these people that lost they loved ones, they still don't have any hope. there's been so little resolution, and they feel justice has really not yet been served and nobody has been held to account, ana. >> wow. thank you so pump. > coming up, how america is
