tv   Anderson Cooper 360  CNN  January 21, 2015 5:00pm-6:01pm PST

5:00 pm
get a draft pick and a hefty fine but the game doesn't be replayed. i don't get why it's a big deal. sorry. thank you so much for joining us. be sure to set your dvr to record "outfront" anytime. "ac360" begins right now. thank you for joining us. a lot happening the last several hours including word of a decision on federal charge darren wilson in the case of michael brown. first, the message of al qaeda in yemen. a message to foot shoulders in the west telling them to stay home, stay home and kill like the rampage in paris. pamela brown has laid developments. she joins us from paris. first, nick payton walsh. from the spokesman, he talks about terror attacks aimed at the u.s. exactly what did he say? >> reporter: well what's so troubling about this is he basically appeals to those who may be disenchanted or
5:01 pm
distressed living the al qaeda living in the west. he says do not contemplate emigrating do not contemplate leaving those countries and come to a place you can fight in the front line. stay where you are. stay where you are and fight that jihad there. that can cause greater damage towards the west. he goes on to talk about how the current attacks now are causing great damage to the west's ability to have embassies, particularly of concern, the u.s. embassy here and how 16 embassies around the world have been closed owing to the efforts of the jihadists there but it's people staying at home in the west. most troubling is ultimately al qaeda in the arabian peninsula trying to suggest it could appeal from allegiance to anyone else who could be contemplating lone wolf attacks in the west anderson. >> obviously if they're not crossing borders to syria, makes it harder for law enforcement
5:02 pm
officials to track them, be aware of them. nick payton walsh, thank you. the terror rampage. sources have reason to believe the associates of the killers, the gunmen at the kosher market the gunman's wife seen here entering turkey that they were urged to flee before the attacks. others expressing concerns and some may follow the call from al qaeda in yemen and return coming home to kill. more on that now from pamela brown who joins us live in paris. still the large associates of the paris attackers what do we know about them at this point? >> reporter: here's what we know. it's believed they were close associates of the kouachi brothers and a.m. day coulibaly and asked to leave by the suspects leading up to the paris attacks. it's believed used a facilitation group used during the iraq war and helped affiliates get into there. it's a black hole really a terrorist safe haven. one of those associates of
5:03 pm
course hayat boumeddiene and others in the network, the concern here anderson is that they could be recruited by isis. of course they would be very attractive recruits for isis and the concern is they could plot against the west and we saw from the suspects here in paris as one source has spoke with it's very concerning because these are people who they believe have the same intent and perhaps even training as the suspect. so the fact that they are in place like syria with isis anderson raises that level of concern. >> and four suspects charged overnight last night. what's known about their connection or possible connection to the attacks? >> reporter: well the prosecutor for the first time talked about this anderson and named them he would only share their first name but said they were facing terrorism related charges for providing support to a terrorist but he stopped short of saying they were complicit.
5:04 pm
he said their dna was found an amedy coulibaly's car and exchanged 300 text messages with coulibaly in the days leading up to the paris attack. so investigators have reason to believe they played some role in the attacks but they're still investigating. they still have, you know a lot of answerquestions they're trying to answer including whether coulibaly coordinated with the kouachi brothers anderson. >> france's prime minister alluded to jihadists who might be living in france. what are french officials doing about that in terms of counterterrorism or measures? >> reporter: this is unnerving to hear about this from the prime minister in the wake of these attacks, there are 3,000 people believed to be living in france with jihadi ties that need to be monitored, under surveillance. today the prime minister announced half a billion dollars
5:05 pm
in emergency spending would go towards trapping these jihadis. he also announced that they would be putting more jobs thousands of more jobs in the intelligence community and elsewhere to crack down on the issue. and also to crack down on radicalization in prisons and as he called cyber jihadism. that's what he'll focus on too. he also talked about creating a list of people arrested on terrorist-related offenses so the people on that list would then have to report whether they're traveling or whether they're moving addresses. so a lot of different sweeping measures here happening in france. it's clear, anderson that what happened here was a wake-up call of sorts and clearly, more needs to be done to crack down on this problem. >> lots to be done. pamela brown thank you very much. let's dig deeper now with cnn analyst paul cruickshank joining us author of "agent storm." you've been on the belgian cell. what are you learning on him and
5:06 pm
where he might be? he's still at large. >> still believed to be at large despite a large international manhunt for him. his last known location was in greece where he was believed to be communicating with this terrorist cell in belgium in the weeks before belgian authorities thwarted what they say was a major imminent attack. a new interesting line of inquiry is he may have faked his own death while he was in syria last year. his family in a belgium interview in the last few hours have said that they were contacted and told that he was killed last october. it's possible therefore he faked his own death to get off the radar screen of western intelligence officials to travel to greece and direct this plot. he's considered by the belgians as the key link person back to this isis leadership in syria,
5:07 pm
anderson. >> there's surveillance video that cnn has obtained which reportedly shows one of the paris attackers and his wife the woman who's still at large, scoping out a judiciary institution in paris last summer. that's what we're showing you right now. have authorities been able to learn anything from that? >> this is very interesting footage indeed and they're poring through it for clues. one interesting thing is there's target recon sans was done by coulibaly and his girlfriend back last summer. that's exactly the same time period when the french took the surveillance off the kouachi brothers. it's possible therefore, the kouachi brothers were waiting for surveillance to be taken off them before starting to plan an attack and then enlisted coulibaly and his girlfriend into their plans and this was sort of phase one of the plan anderson. >> these people whether we're talking about these associates of the paris attackers or members of the belgian cell is there a belief that they are
5:08 pm
simply on the run or they hunker down until the heat goes away do we know? >> from everything we understand so far, several of them got out of dodge in the weeks before this planned attack and started to make their way towards syria. some being arrested in places like bulgaria before they could actually reach syria but it's believed others actually did reach syria including hayat boumeddiene and a travel escort that she had that they may have when they got there connected with isis or other jihadist groups. the kouachi brothers were known to have had contacts in yemen and in syria with jihadist groups groups. >> hmm. all right, paul appreciate the update paul cruickshank. thank you very much. we aired a report critical. bobby jindal and fox news saying no go zones in england and elsewhere. if you're going to point fingers at other people's mistakes you should also acknowledge your own mistakes and we didn't do that on the program.
5:09 pm
in the wake of the paris attacks, several guests mentioned no go zones in france. i twice referred to them as well and should have been more skeptical. i won't make the same mistake again. new reports that federal prosecutors made their recommendation on whether to bring civil rights charges with darren wilson. first question did the new england patriots make it to the super bowl by cheating? some say they did and some say they should be booted out of the big game for it. we'll look at the evidence ahead. our eyes they have a 200-degree range of sight. which is good for me. hey! and bad for the barkley twins. your brain can send information to the rest of your body at 268 mph. three times the speed of a fastball. take care of your most important parts with centrum. multivitamins expertly designed with nutrients people don't get enough of from food alone.

5:13 pm
there's breaking news tonight in the killing of michael brown and new video in the rioting that followed. the video surveillance footage shows rioters breaking into and looting a store last november. st. louis county police put out the video just today. authorities are seeking as many as 180 people in connection with the video that you are seeing right there. the breaking news centers on the federal civil rights investigator to darren wilson already spared state charges in the death. reporting that the justice department crafting recommendations that no charges be brought. the paper citing sources saying top justice officials including eric holder have yet to sign off on it. joining us now, jeffrey toobin
5:14 pm
and also attorney rina martin and neal. the official report hasn't been completed according to the times. have any justice department officials contacted you or darren wilson about the impending recommendation? >> no and you're right. it's not final. i checked my phone and i had no missed calls from attorney general eric holder but having done this for 30 years, anderson i will tell you and represented many officers in civil rights investigations some who have been prosecuted and many have not called me. i would not expect it. it's only a recommendation. there's a lot of hands to go through before this becomes final. >> and i know you talked to darren wilson tonight. what did he have to say about it
5:15 pm
and what is he doing? >> he's doing okay. he's enjoying the anonymity i guess we've had here in st. louis for the past few weeks anyway but, you know, while he's cautiously optimistic he also knows and i've said to him time and again, if true this is at best a preliminary recommendation and we have to be very careful not just to assume it's over. at some point, we should have an answer but we don't have it yet. >> jeff in terms of the legal bar, jeff toobin when it comes to bringing federal civil rights charges, it's pretty hot. >> eric holder even previewed these decisions, saying it's hard to bring. if someone is not prosecuted on state charges, the odds that they will be prosecuted on federal charges are substantially lower. it's not impossible. it has happened. but if a state grand jury says we can't find a criminal offense when you superimpose the much
5:16 pm
tougher intent requirement, proving that a defendant really intended to violate someone's civil rights that's a very high bar and this decision if in fact this is the final decision is not a surprise. >> all right. and areva, it's not designed for these cases. >> absolutely it's not, anderson but i think there's confusion about the hate crime statute and how it should be used. because eric holder traveled to ferguson he traveled to the community and talked about how aggressive the department of justice would be in its own independent investigation but the thought of not being a federal prosecution given the state prosecution will leave a lot of activists and people who are on the ground in ferguson very disappointed. >> if i can just add one thing, anderson there are two issues
5:17 pm
still outstanding. one is a civil lawsuit by michael brown's family against officer wilson and certainly against the ferguson police department and also there is a civil federal investigation aimed at reforming the ferguson police department. both of those certainly will proceed proceed. >> neil to that point, have you heard anything about when or if that may happen if there's going to be a civil suit against darren wilson? >> i certainly have heard rumbling that there is an intent to bring a suit. i know at least one of the lawyers who represents the brown family has been in contact with the city and has made overtures indicating they intend to bring a claim but to what jeff had said in a civil case you still have elements that you have to prove and they're going to flow very closely to what you have to prove in a criminal case although it's a matter of
5:18 pm
negligence typically, that you see alleged in those cases. and the, not to get too detailed on you but we call those 1983 actions and there's civil rights allegations. again, the bar is pretty tough there too. if you don't have enough for a grand jury to even issue an indictment it's going to be pretty hard i think in a civil suit. while that's still out there and while i expect we'll see that that's still a pretty difficult hill to climb. >> >> >>areva, do you agree with that? >> i think the standard of proof is less. preponderance of the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt and i can't imagine there will be a part on the part of the ferguson police department to reach a resolution. rarely are they played out in trial. there is some kind of, you know pretrial settlement but again, in this case i can't help but go back to the issue of justice and although the family may succeed in a civil lawsuit and
5:19 pm
obtain monetary damages and it still doesn't address the whole question of what happens to unarmed african-american men who are shot by police officers. i think that question continues to loom large, particularly in light of the statements made by the attorney general and even the president. four cases have been investigated shootings in 2004. so i think the american public wants to know are any of these cases going to be prosecuted and how do address these disparities in a criminal justice system? >> anderson can i throw in you have to be able because every case is decided by the facts of this case and while there are overarching concerns and considerations that we have to take into account and while, yes, there are conversations that we have to have you can't solve those problems on a case like this. you have to look at this thing separate and apart from this case. these are all conversations that we have to have and policing is a form of government. you're not going to solve that problem in this case or in any
5:20 pm
other shooting case. it's a much larger conversation that has to take place. >> well but these cases are also about these cases and people are very concerned about them. anderson i would keep an eye much more on the eric garner case in staten island for federal charges. i actually think that even though the grand jury voted no indictment in that case that is a much more promising case for a federal criminal prosecution. the justification for the officer's behavior in staten island was much thinner, much harder to defend and i think that investigation, which is continuing may well yield an indictment but the michael brown case it looked all along that this was destined to end the way it's ending. >> yeah jeff toobin. go ahead, areva. >> i want to add, you can't separate the prosecution of officers from the larger issue of the disparities in a criminal justice system.
5:21 pm
thanks anderson. >> all right. areva, thanks to neil as well. ahead tonight on this broadcast, millions watch the patriots with the colts. was the patriots cheating every time they caught the ball? and cost poker players $10,000. police accused the money from tournaments and it was perfectly legal. we investigate ahead. (woman) caring for someone with alzheimer's means i am a lot of things.
5:22 pm
i am his guardian. i am his voice. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr® to his current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently. when added to another alzheimer's treatment, like aricept® it may improve overall function... and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. (man) namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body... and may increase side effects. the most common side effects... are headache, diarrhea and dizziness. (woman) all my life, he's protected me. now i am giving back. ask their doctor about adding... once-daily namenda xr.
5:23 pm
i have the flu with a runny nose. [coughs] better take something. theraflu severe cold won't treat your runny nose. really? alka-seltzer severe cold and flu relieves your worst flu symptoms plus runny nose. [breath of relief] oh, what a relief it is. mommy! hey!
5:24 pm
5:25 pm
wrapped up in a sports story, it's big. accused of getting there by cheating. the new england patriots of course who beat the living daylights of the indianapolis colts this week. did they do it in part by using football's 11 out of 12 of them according to espn that contained less than the regulation amount of air making them easier to throw and easier to catch. did they deflate them and if so,
5:26 pm
what exactly should the league do about it? faced a scandal recently and the patriots been caught cheating once. it's a big deal for all parties not to mention the fans including our own john berman. >> reporter: the second half of the afc championship game confusion. officials stopped the game. was there a problem with the ball? we now know this could have been the first public sign of deflate gate. but might have actually started here late in the second quarter. >> intercepted by -- >> reporter: this colts linebacker became suspicious about the patriots football he had just picked off noticing it felt like it didn't have enough air. according to news day, his head coach was notified and within minutes, it soon got to league officials, so why would the patriots ball he had just intercepted be any different the one his own team was using? it turns out both teams supply
5:27 pm
12 footballs to officials to inspect before the game. then each team controls their own footballs when they're in possession. if a quarterback is throwing a deflated football in theory it is easier to grip easier to throw and easier to catch. the pate yachts did go on to score 28 more points in the second half but whispers of foul play began almost immediately. some reports postgame the league is looking into the patriots were deflating the balls. have you heard about this story, do you know the story i'm talking about? >> no i don't. >> would you care to tell me if you were involved? >> no i i have no idea. >> reporter: bill belichick asked about the accusation during his weekly radio interview. >> i really don't know what to say or know anything about what we're talking about here so whatever it is we'll cooperate with them the best we can.
5:28 pm
>> reporter: and this is not the first time that belichick's team has been accused of chaeting. in 2007 personally fined $500 for having an assistant spy on the new york jets by video taping their sideline signals. the team also lost the first round draft pick. as far as the nfl, they have publicly acknowledged they are investigating and said we are continuing our review and will provide information as soon as possible. according to multiple reports, however, the nfl has already found that 11 of the patriots 12 footballs were deflated. if found guilty penalties could include draft picks next year but few will stop the patriots from playing in the super bowl. >> john berman. john you wrote a piece for cnn.com and i want to read a little bit of what you wrote. you said i quote, if the reports are true and somehow the new england patriots deflated 11
5:29 pm
balls in the afc championship game then shame on me screw them and shame on me. a bit harsh, no? >> look i took a controversial stand but to say that is bad. look if they deflated the balls intentionally, it was cheating. you know it may not have affected the outcome but cheating is bad whoever does it. i'm not sure it's harsh to say that. >> i want to bring in someone who knows about how this could, the handling of balls is done. i want to bring in mike prer ra currently a fox sports analyst. how could this have possibly -- does it make sense the balls could be tampered with from the time they're checked and from the game actually starts? >> sure and during the game too. it's easy to deflate the
5:30 pm
football. just put the needle in it and air is going to come out. the balls leave the locker room they come in at 2 hours and 15 minutes before game time and the referee really does only two things. all he does is to check to see if the ball retained nearly new properties and also if it's inflated properly. as long as those two things are okay he marks it with his own mark and then they take the balls out and give them to the ball boy. so the balls left properly inflated and some point now, a big as to how but down a couple pounds. we saw this before with kicking balls. it's the first time i've seen it with regular balls but to me it's probably simple or easy to deflate them. >> and in between the time they leave the ref and they're used they're just what, sitting in a bag on the sidelines? >> right. you have ball people on the
5:31 pm
sideline that carry a certain amount. the extra ones go over by the replay monitor in the gated area and you have the security guard there. and really the balls are then rotated every time the patriots had their ball on offense, their ball came in. anytime the colts had their ball and they were on offense and their ball would come in and then there's the special ball for kickers. so really, the ball is in the hand of the ball boys really it is more than anybody else. >> can i ask a question here? a lot i'm reading online from fellow patriots fans who used to like me who now don't, all quarterbacks do this. every quarterback likes their ball with a certain amount of air in it. if everyone does it sitis it still cheating? >> well if everyone scuffs it look they're in their hands all week and they can prepare them. they can rub them with the brush, get them to the tackness
5:32 pm
and that's perfectly legal but you can't deflate them. the balls have to be it's 12.5 to 13 pounds per square inch of pressure in the ball and if you deflate them whether it creates an advantage or not, it's cheating. it's not the first instance of cheating. there's a reason officials go into the locker room before the game and before the second half kickoff and they pat down random players because players wear silicone on their jerseys so they can't be grabbed and inside blocking. it's tough to block that way. so there's cheating that has gone on this game with kicking balls, now regular balls, with silicon, just like baseball corking bats, pine tar on baseballs, you know cheating has been a part of the sport not a very good part of the sport and to me the big issue here is not only just the act but the history. you know is this strike three for the patriots? you've got spy gate this and
5:33 pm
then the filming of the walk crew before the super bowl in 2007 so repeat offenders are disciplined generally stronger than first time offenders and it's going to be interesting to see what the league does. >> mike what sort of discipline would there be? draft picks? >> yeah. i mean to me you're going to look at certainly the possibility of draft picks and of course a substantial amount of money and the question is going to be what do you do in preparation for this coming super bowl so this doesn't happen again. we have a kicking ball coordinator that now handles all the kicking balls. maybe now, you're going to have alternate officials that are going to handle all the other balls. people have said shouldn't the officials have caught this when they brought in a new ball? felt the difference that it wasn't inflated properly and i
5:34 pm
said these guys in stripes don't shop in the produce store every day and squeeze avocados to see if they're ripe. a 2 pound pressure won't be enough for them to actually recognize, so you'll see actually the league i think step up and discipline the patriots but also take the balls most likely out of the hands of the ball people and put them into the alternates this super bowl. >> all right. fascinating stuff. mike appreciate it. john berman as well. just ahead, police departments across the country profiting from the cash of property that officers seized during traffic stops like this one. now, it's all perfectly legal. you might be interested to find out what we found out. 6- scourge of 20th century city life. raiser of blood pressure. disrupter of supply chains. stealer of bedtime stories. polluter. frustrater. time thief. [cars honking] and one day soon we'll see the last one ever. cisco is building the internet of everything for connected
5:35 pm
cities today, that will confine the traffic jam to yesterday. cisco... ...tomorrow starts here. my tempur-pedic made me fall in love with mornings again. i love how it conforms to my body. with tempur-pedic the whole bed is comfortable. it's the best thing we ever did for ourselves. it's helping to keep us young. (vo) it's your year. treat youself to your best night's sleep with tempur-pedic.
5:36 pm

5:37 pm

5:38 pm
two days ago, attorney general eric holder made a sort of quiet announcement that the government program was scaling back on a program you've probably never heard of. civil asset forfeiture. let the federal government take your money without charging a crime, they only think the money may have been used as some criminal activity. over the years, the program has ballooned to the point,
5:39 pm
according to a recent washington post investigation, more than $2 billion has been seized. attorney general eric holder said the federal government will no longer take part of the procedures but doesn't mean the local government ends there. the cnn investigation with some truly eye opening examples of exactly what can happen. gary tuchman investigates. >> reporter: it's a bright clear morning in april 2013. inside the red car just ahead are these two men. art davis and john numajinski who happen to be professional poker players. this dash cam footage in the distance you can see the red car flashing a turn signal indicate to pass a black suv. the few minutes later, an iowa state trooper pulls them over. >> what did he sna. >> he said i didn't use my blinker. and he was going to write me a citation that would only take a minute. get in the car.
5:40 pm
>> reporter: it was the beginning of an encounter that would eventually be two iowa state troopers. found $85,000 in cash belonging to art davis and another $15,000 from john. >> this was the briefcase. it was locked. they threatened to destroy it if i didn't get the combination. >> you carried this for poker. >> i brought it along. >> this is normal. >> it's money. i got that from the bank. >> how much is this? >> that's $10,000. >> reporter: the two men wound occupy being questioned for hours. a traffic warning but not a citation. pled guilty to a misdemeanor on charge of marijuana paraphernalia used for medical marijuana. troopers let the men go but took
5:41 pm
the $100,000. seized the authorities say part of an interdix because they claim to be used the money was used to buy drugs. it's called civil asset forfeiture and that wasn't all. >> based on their belief they thought my clients were involved in drug activity call california where they live inform the officers there or law enforcement officials there they believe they were involved in drug activity a search warrant was obtained on the basis of that information from the officer and raided their homes in california. okay? and tore their homes apart looking for things relating to drugs. >> reporter: even though there was only one misdemeanor drug charge in iowa california authorities claim they were distributing drugs there. the men's lawyer glen downie said john was indicted. and iowa said give you back
5:42 pm
$90,000 as long as you let us keep the rest. the state of iowa kept $10,000 and the felony charge in california was dropped. as shady as the whole affair sounds it wasn't a one off. it's part of a concerted effort to keep your money without filing charges. the two iowa state troopers as well as thousands of other state and local cops learn how to conduct these stops from private companies and the biggest one is oklahoma company called desert snow. >> the desert snow trainers travel all over the country to hold their workshops and business is brisk. according to the company's web site, 30 seminars are scheduled for 2015. from oregon to florida. from delaware to california. and your police department could be one of desert snow's clients. this is the man in charge of desert snow. a former california state highway patrol officer named joe david. he wouldn't talk with cnn on camera but a glance at what his company charges police agencies
5:43 pm
shows his training isn't cheap. the lowest price for a police force to attend according to this price list is a bit over $8,000. and the top end? $145,000. >> why would a police department spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to a seminar which is something you learn in a police academy? >> well they say they teach them more than the police academy. specialized knowledge to teach these officers how to do it even better. i believe the training encourages them to take more cash because the more cash they take the more cash joe david is going to get in training materials. >> reporter: joe david told us he couldn't answer written questions about how many officers he trained or how much money he's made because of a lawsuit filed by downy. as for see sures, he said the purpose is not to take and seize funds belonging to innocent people.
5:44 pm
is to seize funds tied to criminal activity but there have been no charges that the money taken from bart davis or john have been criminal. what has this done in your life? >> made me aware of things i was not aware of and made me angry. how can you not be angry? >> reporter: the men want the rest of their money back the $10,000 kept by the state of iowa but iowa has not given it back and is not backing down. >> hmm. gary tuchman joins us. the attorney general, as i said eric holder made this decision prohibiting some of these forfeitures. the impact though is going to be pretty minimal, right? >> right. this is the first step. there will be plenty of forfeitures but the attorney general said unless it's a public safety issue, that federal agencies can no longer keep the money that local police departments send to washington under federal law.
5:45 pm
a lot of times, local agencies want to use federal law because it's a stronger law, it's more streamlined, it's less bu ro bureaucratic. that is no longer allowed, effect immediately. but state and local can do what they want and that's what happened to these two poker players. >> fascinating. a stabbing spree caught on tape. the man went on attack in the bus in tel aviv and a measles outbreak in the united states traced to disneyland. why is the disease wiped out in the united states making a comeback? we talk to san jay.
5:46 pm

hurry! offers end january 31st. only on verizon. officials they linked measles to disney theme park. another disney park employee diagnosed this past sunday. dozens linked to in california including eight cases in other states in mexico. this comes on the heels of the surge in measles cases in the united states. record 644 cases in 27 states just last year. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta joins us now. sanjay it's remarkable when you think about it. didn't they declare measles in the u.s. has been eliminated? >> this has got to be so frustrating for public health officials and people who have been talking about vaccines for some time.
5:50 pm
in 2000 we basically said measles was eliminated in the united states. and what that basically means is that over 12 months there hadn't been new cases of measles, vaccinations efforts were working and 15 years later, some of the biggest measles outbreaks we've seen in almost two decades. so clearly, not going in the right direction. >> and is this all basically because of the anti-vaccination movement because parents aren't vaccinating their kads? >> yeah i think so. here's how i put it. when you look at the world as a whole, as we know from ebola, patients can move around from country to country more easily than ever before. even more easily than 15 years ago. someone could be in the incubation period could have been exposed to measles, not yet sick. show up in the united states. they could be a potential source. that's how it starts but when you end up in an area who have not been vaccinated all of the
5:51 pm
sudden that one person who would otherwise be treated, not cause any other infections can suddenly cause many, many infections and that seems to be what happened at disneyland. they spread it and turns into a multistate outbreak pretty quickly. >> the vaccine, just to repeat, it's completely safe. there's no medical evidence that it causes autism. your kids you had your kids vaccinated. >> there is no evidence and anderson you have interviewed dr. wakefield. i watched the interview with you. that study that suggested there was a link between these child vaccines and autism that study was discredited and there have been subsequent studies that show no link. so yeah i got my kids vaccinated. i got them vaccinated on schedule. and i only bring that up to say that look we talk about these things as reporters but as a father i look at the studies myself. i made the judgment the
5:52 pm
decision that this was absolutely safe and the proof is in my own children and they're doing great. >> as you said it's extraordinarily contagious. >> unlike ebola which we kept talking about as being highly infectious meaning just a small amount could cause an infection. ebola was not particularly contagious. measles is very contagious. it can spread through the air. it can live on surfaces. i've heard statistics that said if you are not vaccinated and you come in contact with someone who has measles, you have about a 90% chance of getting it. so you're going to most likely get it just by coming in contact. you can't say that about most other infectious diseases. so it's highly contagious and it does have this incubation period. so that means you could be exposed but it could be up to 21 days before you get sick. >> yeah and then 90% chance. thank you very much, jan saysanjay. >> thank you, anderson. amara walker has a 360

a story in kansas city playing in a park many years ago and found a ring. recently the now grown woman was going through a box of her childhood treasures, saw the ring again and remember finding it 25 years ago. >> have a little picture on it and i thought that's fancy like maybe a queen's ring. >> oh spoiler alert. it was kansas city not a queen's ring. mistaken the royals. yes, a sports joke. i know. it was actually colorado and the woman got in touch with the school and the teacher put the class to work to find the owner. >> they found her and they found
5:59 pm
her parents in the obituaries. found her married last name from that and then found her, i believe, through facebook. >> yes, it was supposed to be some kind of mystery history project but i bet these kids today found the owner in about ten seconds on google. and thus the class ring was returned to its rightful owner who has no idea how it ended up in the park 25 years ago but is glad to have it back. >> it was kind of like we go back in time to the high school crushes and the fun of the going to the games. >> see, i think that's very sweet and it gives me hope that there are good people out there and when you lose something, it's not really gone. you just might have to wait 25 years to get it back and you can cut the time way, way down if you lose your rings but have a pretty good idea from where they went. take this case from tulsa, oklahoma a woman lost her wedding rings but remember she set them on a coffee table and her dog, sierra, in the owner's

words a little bit of a troublemaker. the veterinarian performed surgery, coming out naturally could have damaged sierra's intestines. >> she ate more than rings, i'm afraid. there was some rocks in there. there was either, i can't tell if it was sticks or bone. >> once again, the old adage sticks and bone can make dogs grown but not everything lost is gone forever. sometimes it can be found on the ridiculist ridiculist. we'll see you again 11 p.m. eastern for another edition of "ac360." cnn special report o.j. trial, drama of the century begins now. the following is a cnn special report. the shocking crime. >> ron and nicole were
