something to firefighters. many believe the name of her attacker. >> i can't disclose that information. >> authorities will only tell me what the teen said is a lead. meanwhile, in this small town, the big question is -- who could have done it? >> certain three we are looking at murder charges, capital murder charges. >> thrauthorities have been retracing where chambers went. she stopped at a gas station, bought a drink and chatted with a few people. everyone has been cleared. the car is being analyzed and her phone. investigators believe a text or last call could be key. especially if it links to her last whispered word. >> i want to see justice. >> in this part of mississippi, justice can be here or the hereafter. >> god's punishment. it is going to be far more worse than anything that we can do. >> such a shocking story, don.

to see, texts, and of course, telephones tell you where a person was. that's very important here. trying to figure out the time line. where was she when all of this went down. before it turned so tragic. so, those are the things that they're investigating. they have got good lead. they begin again tomorrow morning. >> everyone there, small town. everyone knows everybody. how are people reacting? >> first of all. people are shocked. not just in the community. but in all of mississippi. i think we are all shocked. at the heinousness of the crime. one mississippi official said, being able to see anything -- we haven't seen anything like this in a long time in mississippi. there its the grandmother of jessica who said she already is willing to forgive who ever carried this terrible crime out. she believes that she would look to see this person come to god in this life. and as a result of that sunny doesn't want to carry all this hate around in her heart. she is ready to forgive. before that can begin they have to find who ever is responsible. >> amazing what a big person to

do that. thank you. appreciate that. martin savage. >> jessica's family they're devastated. i am joined by her grieving sister, amanda prince. we are really sorry for your loss. how is your family doing? >> thank you. um, they're devastated. we all are. sun she was 19. we are just shocked. we are lost. we are confused. angry and hurt. just -- just devastated. >> we can only imagine. you just heard from martin savage. and he said your mom is welling to forgive who ever did this? your grandmother, sorry. is willing to forgive who ever did this. >> i'm not.

i don't know. i'm not. >> too soon and it hurts, right? >> i have so many questions. i want to know why -- i can't forgive what i don't know. i don't really know how to answer that, really. awe wait for information must be excruciating. have you heard anything from police, authorities, or investigators about any leads. we heard that they have lead. we don't know anything. any names. we don't know anything like that. we know that who they have talked to. everyone has been let go of -- so. we have nothing else. no one is in custody. nothing is official. >> from what i read about this story. that she, jessica had no

enemies. there was no -- you don't know of any one who -- who would have, some sort of a grudge, or vendetta, for her? >> no one. i mean, she was, she was loved by everybody. she, she -- she just -- i don't know who could, who would want to do this or why, or -- >> uh-huh. >> nothing. >> amanda, let's talk about jessica. can you tell us about her. she is 19 years old. what was she like? >> she was crazy. she was -- she was very athletic. outgoing. sunny was -- just -- jessica, she was, happy. all the time. sunny was funny. lit up a room. she was funny. she was a brat.

but i can say that. sunny was -- she was gosh, a beautiful person. she was, just -- full of life. >> i want to show our audience something, amanda. it is some surveillance video of jessica at a gas station a mile from the, the crime scene. it was taken 40 minutes before the attack. do you know what she was doing there. 90 minutes before the attack. do you know what she was doing there. who she waved to in the video. we don't know anything. she called my mom. said she was going to clean out the car. and sunny would be home. just a little bit. just a little while after she cleaned her car. that's the last phone call my

mom had gotten from her. i don't think no one knew -- where she was going. what she was doing. or -- just, we just, just was going to clean her car. >> still can't believe it. i can't imagine when you heard the news. what went through your head? i was angry. i didn't believe it. it took me a minute to process. and, you know, i -- i don't live there no more. so -- i got a aphone call. and i can't just jump in my car and, and, go be there. so to get something like that. and have to wait, an hour, two hours, to find out -- information that, that, i actually felt like it was -- forever. i mean, you know a minute felt like hours. so it felt like i waited -- days, for a phone call to, to --

to tell me something. age. just, just -- i was just, i was really hurt. i couldn't -- i was helpless. you know -- i am one of her older sisters. and -- it's kind of moo is job to be there for her. and i couldn't be. >> and you are, you obviously live in texas waiting for your husband to arrive overseas, from overseas before you go home, correct? go to mississippi? >> yes, yes, sir. >> can you tell me about jessica's plans for the future. what were her plans? >> last we had talked. she wanted to be a nurse. she said she wanted to help people. she also -- had plans to write a book. she liked to write. she, she -- she had plans to write a become to tell a story. she just -- she actually had a lot of things she wanted to do. i mean there were many, she had told me one time, she, she

wanted to be a dentist. and -- like i said she wanted to be a nurse. she wanted to be an author. i think, probably would have tried anything. tried it all. >> amanda prince, thank you very much. our hearts go out to you. our thoughts are with you and your family. >> thank you. >> who would commit such a violent act of a teenage girl. joining me, judy hough, a clinic clinical, forensic psychologist. dr. hough, this is more rifk. say it again. a verb us crime. what can you tell me about the killer who has this type of b f brutality. this type of crime, who does this? >> well the type of people that we see that commit these types of murders, don, are what we commonly refer to as psychopaths. they tend to have a condition that we call antisocial

personality disorder. and these individuals absolutely have no remorse. they don't really have moral development. and often times what we notice in the brains of the individuals they have very low reactive, reactivity, that means they have to do something so incredibly exciting to be able to get the kind of spike in the brain that normal people would get from eating a good meal or nice piece of chocolate. what we see in the individuals they will often times kill for the tlichhrill. it would not surprise me that they find the killer that this person has had a pattern of other crimes already. it is all going to come together in that way. this is how they actually achieve the mood stability that most of us have from doing daily things. >> yeah, such a violent crime. is this a krocrime of passion? likely done by someone who knew her or a stranger? >> i think it is mostly in terms of the research what we know it is not a complete stranger. usually an acquaintance or

somebody who knows this individual. doesn't mean they're friend. but there may be already a path that this person knows, that this jessica has already been taken. he has been following her for a while. that's definitely a possibility here. and i just worry that perhaps because she -- she has been this person who is pretty well known in the community that somebody may have been watching her and planning for this. >> dr. judy ho. appreciate it. >> when we come right back here on cnn. you have seen the protests across the country. tonight. mother whu mothers who lost their sons in police shootings tell their emotionally stories. what they're doing to save other mothers from the same nightmare. the greatest t rex fossil found. dinosaur hunter. choosing our cnn person of the year. tweet your vote using #cnntonight. find out whuch o've it is at thd of our show.

welcome back, everyone. i want to turn to police shootings in the country. too many black men dead. their mothers mourning. some of them joining me now. every lady has aster that steo sad and powerful. three moms are speaking for the group. constance and her son, was shot and killed in his home by a new york police officer. then colette, her son was shot

by and officer. good evening, lady. h good evening, ladies hour, are you? >> good evening, don. >> thank you for joining me. each of you share the same tragedy. your sons unarmed. killed by police officers. when you see the stories in the news now. the story about eric garner, michael brown. how does it make you feel? >> well it makes me angry. because i have been for two years since my son was killed. if they've didn dent don't do st it. it's a tragedy. nobody is trying to hear us. been out fighting for her sons.

our son's voice. they're not listening. and we have young men -- young boys, time in and time after getting killed. and nothing has been done. you know -- every time i -- i speak to moms who have, you know, sadly had to face the tragedy. i wonder how you guys can even -- move, some days, or let alone, go on television and colette, you founded mothers against police brutality. lost your son clinton last year. just 25 years old. unarmed. shot seven times. what are you trying to accomplish? we know, the world has seen the eric garner case. district attorneys are not indicting police officers.

secrecy of grand juries are poisonous. we have to deem with the issue. stop giving policemen, free get out of jail cards. i fear for your life. i will take my child's life. we have a lot of work to do. our organization, and code pink. us working together diligently to see the changes happen. it was emotional. i want to play it for the viewers and then we can talk about it. he ran away. he was not under arrest. he had every right to leave whenever he wanted. that officer chased him down like an animal.

like he was a casualty of war. my son tripped and fell. he was yelling, "i didn't do anything. i didn't do anything." and when he failed, the officer stood over him and shot him. and his last word, he said "why did you shoot me?" today, i am here to talk to you and demand justice for my alan and demand justice for us all. does the pain ever go away? >> the pain will never go away, don. a pain that is so deep and burns so fierce.

to have something you love so much. ripped away and stolen. i will never get to see his children. alan was two weeks away from graduation. he was so proud he accomplished that. he didn't get a chance to walk across the stage. nigh husband and i accepted his diploma on his be half. every day i wake up with heartache. with heartache i take the pain. it becomes fire for me to fight. i can't get my alan back. but i can fight against the in justice of this corrupt system. and i can fight to make sure that there is no more alans and no more clintons, and no more ramallis and no more oscars and no more of the sons of these beautiful mothers that have lost their precious babies.

excuse me. in the -- in the case of your son alan, and of michael brown, and eric garner, do you think -- what do you think was the everrieve overriding factor? so many people said race was a factor. some people have said it was excessive force. it could be a combination. what do you think is the bigger issue here. maybe both. i don't know. it is a combination. the only reason that my son was stopped. was because of the color of his skin. he was doing nothing wrong. he was profiling. the officer said that he had on a hoody. he never had a hoody on. he had a calvin klein windbreaker. he says his pant were sagging. alan did not loike to sag.

if his pant were too big. he would walk with one hand on his waist to make sure that they wasn't sagged because he didn't want to be portrayed as that. he didn't want to be judged. it is more importantly, the militarization of the police. the police officer in my son's case, the officer was a veteran of the iraqi war. when you go to war, you are taught shoot to kill. it is war. that's what, you are there. >> but when you take the oath, as a police officer. it's to protect and serve. they didn't have to choke that young man. after he said, hand up. don't shoot. he said i didn't do anything.

>> it's the combination. >> thank you. colette, thank you. constance, thank you. valerie, thank you. darlene, thank you. donette, thank you. dorothy, thank you. marcella, thank you. wanda, thank you. and tressa, thank you, ladies. i appreciate it. best of luck to you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> up next -- "time" magazine names a person of the year. it's not just one person i will explain that. we are choosing our very own cnn tonight person of the year. tweet us, using hash tag, cnn tonight. find out who it is at the end of our show tonight. we will be right back. protein. new ensure active clear protein. 8 grams protein. zero fat.

"time" magazine's 2014 person of the year is actually persons of the year. people on the front lines, fighting ebola are sharing the honor. they join a pantheon of figures

in history named person of the year. many of them beloved. others villified. we take a look. the ferguson protesters. vladamir putin. taylor swift. ebola fighters. people who helped change our world this year. are defining moments of history all wade shape e all ways shaped by the people living it. mayor giuliani became america's mayor. time magazine's person of the year, 2001. >> the person of the year is somebody who drove the news, exerted -- important influence. "time" magazine has chosen historical figures you would expect. among them. president roosevelt. martin luther king jr.

pope john paul ii. a yearly tradition began as an accident. in 1927, the editors realized charles limbburg, the first solo aviator to cross the atlantic was never on a cover that year. he tried to make up the oversight by calling him man of the year. 87 years later the choices ranged from heroes to villains. recognizing history is often paved by the contemptible. 1938, adolf hitler, 1939, 1942, joseph stalin. in 1979, iranian hostage crisis unfold. "time" magazine names anti-american iranian leader ayatollah khomeini as man of the year. the person, some times isn't one but a group. 2011, the world rocked by protests. the arab spring. the occupy movement. the occupy wall street hash tag became the most popular topic on

twitter. american women. the endangered earth. the american soldier. among the groups ch s chosen. memorably or not, in 2006, you as in social media. that choice leading to some friendly mocking. >> how do i look? yes, i am the man of the year. >> "time" magazine says it will take the jabs history is on their side. >> i've don't think there is any question about the -- the role social media has played. it's only grown since then. certainly this is a year where we have seen that. importance. with, with protests. across the country. >> look in ferguson, but even the stunning protests couldn't beat the heart of this year's choice. the ebola fighters. as the influence of magazines diminishes and the internet age, this tradition perseveres. a choice that gives us a snapshot of our year and ourselves.

>> so did time's editors make the right choice? what about the protests? against police brutality staged all around the country. should the protesters be persons of the year? joining me to debate. ben ferguson, cnn political commentator. mel robbins, cnn commentator. marc lamont hill. and sunny hostin, cnn legal analyst. there we go. just worked out. don't take offense to that. >> i feel like this is black privilege, which we don't get that often. i'll take it. >> oh, lordy. here we go. i'm going to go. y'all go on and do this. >> i am so glad we can joke around that. marches, traffic in cities. hash tag, #crimingwhilewhite,

#blacklivesmatter, putting on t-shirts. not looters. talking peaceful protesters. hashtag, activist. should they be people of the year? >> no question. when you think time magazine's person of the year. always at the forefront. right? they're usually, they usually get it right. i think they got it wrong in this time. i think the big story is -- we are in a seminal moment in our community, in our country. in terms of the new civil rights movement. and ebola, yes, of course an important story i you look at the number of victims, of, of ebola. pales in comparison. we have a number to get through. marc, august 7, barack obama

told a nation that he authorized air strikes on iraq. the united states and allies began air strikes in syria. and so, you know, he has, air strikes, war torn countries. gas prices are low. job market is getting better. housing prices are getting better. should the president be kidded person of the year. >> absolutely not. the protesters, the protesters. >> ben ferguson is standing up dancing right now. >> amen. amen! >> sunny is right. protesters should have gotten this. president obama, first of all. you don't make him time person of the year for being a war mongor. not because you can't be a bad person and get the time person of the year. he has been a war mongor. there is nothing distinct. there are much more things interesting. isis, person of the year. >> don't jump ahead. >> i'm not saying. i'm not pro isis. person of the year.

>> controversial person, or people of the year. they have been named before. don't think this is a controversial year for president obama. i don't want to give him credit. gas prices went down. >> let's talk about that. sochi, ukraine. and plane shot down. killing 298. russia under sanctions. oil prices falling worldwide. vladamir put yin was on time's short list. i think he should have won dummy of the year. how bad of a guy in a year can you have when you literally say you are not invading a country. when everybody knows you are invading the country. you say that a pasture plane was not shut down. we see the video of the passenger plane being shot down. i don't think he was man of the year the should have been dummy of the year. >> what about mark mentioned jumping ahead in the work book, and isis, baghdadi, beheadings,

put on youtube, what about isis? >> no way in hell i am going to give it to people doing damage and killing people. for starters. one of the thing that is interesting while the beheadings were -- certainly, captivating, particularly to the western audience when they first started to happen, cognitive dissonance has set in. and people are not paying attention to them the way they did when james foley was first beheaded. at the end of the summer. so i think it was a very desperate tactic. we will see more of it. they weren't getting the attention that they, you would get from a suicide or car bombing, don. these brutal horrific attacks on one person from, from your country, tend to draw the media, which is what isis wants. i don't think it is any kind of tactic or any kind of move that, that would, that, that means they deserve off to be the

people of the year. >> do it after the break. what do you've mean isis? controversial figures. >> not an honor. >> not an honor. so, everyone stick around. stay with me. lots more to discuss, who will be cnn's person of the year. tweet us. tweet #cnntonight. could it be taylor swift maybe? ♪ i shake it off ♪ even if you're treating your crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, an occasional flare may be a sign of damaging inflammation. and if you ignore the signs, the more debilitating your symptoms could become. learn more about the role damaging inflammation may be playing in your symptoms with the expert advice tool at crohnsandcolitis.com. and then speak with your gastroenterologist. ...and let in the dog that woke the man who drove to the control room [ woman ] driverless mode engaged.

>> "time" magazine honored the brave people battling ebola virus as their persons of the year. choosing our cnn tonight person of the year. talking about our candidates, with mel, marc, and sunny. okay, ben, back to you, you live in dallas. where thomas eric duncan, nina pham, thomas eric duncan died. "time" magazine named the ebola fighters, doctors, workers, person of the year. was that the right choice? >> i really do think they got it right on this one. here is the main reason why.

sanjay said it well, earlier today, rarely when a doctor goes in and treats some one do they put their own lives at risk personally. these people went in the room knowing that they were putting their lives at risk. and, in a weird way. not in an imed m immediate dang. two weeks down the road. against a virus. there is no guarantee. if you get it. you will be able to beat it. incredible heroes. men and women of the year. put themselves in the situation. incredible act of courage to do that. >> i spoke to a number of the, the people who had survived. the workers who had survived. they said they would -- do it again. that's what nay do. that happy what they do. >> incredible people. that's the thing. that's what they do. i am married to a surgeon. that's what they do. they save lives. they help people. i think we are talking about the time person of the year, we should be talking about. some one that goes beyond the pale, someone goes beyond. i think that the women that have come forward, the victims of

bill cosby. >> not just of bill cosby. >> victims of rape. >> rape. >> man of whom who have accused bill cosby. >> right. if you think about the victims they had nothing to gain except perhaps people come offing at them and attacking them personally. i personally believe all of them. and, and, so, you know, let's talk about people that put themselves out there. protesters and victims of rape. >> lot's talk adam silver. clippers owner, donald sterling. is silver an example of how to manage a crisis, compared to nfl roger goodell, handling of the ray rice controversy, should he be person of the year? >> certainly should be considered. been giving key notes around the country about this issue. he schooled the world on what it means to be a leader that is decisive in the middle of a complex and chaotic situation. he was very clear that the nba does not stand for racism.

he wanted sterling out. guess what, that's what happened. let's contrast that with goodell. he is not clear what he wants. the situation is unresolved, don. in fact if somebody were to get arrested for domestic violence tonight, does anyone in america know what would happen to that player? the answer is no. that is an example of crappie leadership, don. >> i just actually, hang on here. in the middle of a show. we actually got information on -- nfl personal conduct policy. that just came out. >> it's not clear, don. it's not clear. talking about it tomorrow morning at 6:45 on new day. not clear still. just another announcement from goodell saying, we will do this, that. we don't know what is happening. >> that's my point. that's why he shouldn't be person of the year. he, he looks like, roger goodell, adam silver looks like a hero against backdrop of roger goodell. >> that's something that's not

great. right. >> and, who calls people the n word. that's not really a high bar. >> that's what you are supposed to do. that's what you are supposed to do! >> you are supposed to do it. when many don't do it. you some -- >> i don't know if you should be person of the year -- >> calm down. you are so fired up. off the chart. top selling album. only whitney houston and mariah carey spent more time at top of the build board 200. turns 24 saturday. person of the year. sp spotify. >> taylor swift ain't in the class of whitney houston, and mariah carey. everybody know it. >> you haven't heard the mariah carey video going around. >> on national tv. taylor swift the sort of mariah carey and whitney houston. >> marc lamont hill, i am e-mailing you the video of
