5:00 pm
day. you are not going to name him rajang? >> no. >> reporter: she may be expecting but she wasn't expecting this. jeanne moos cnn, new york. >> so cute. kind of right. i mean a little bit, yeah, okay. thank you for joining us everybody. set your dvr to record "out front" watch anytime. and "ac 360" starts now. >> good evening. we begin with the race for the white house. a race president obama says is awash with republican rhetoric inflammatory not conducive to good policy or politics. more on his comments in a moment. as you know some of the most controversial statements from donald trump. his comments on immigration, questioning john mccain's status as a war hero they've don't sit well with some of his fellow gop candidates. they don't seem to be hurting him among republican voters. we know this the first national cnn/orc poll since mccain comments donald trump is leading with 1%.
5:01 pm
jeb bush 15%. within the poll's margin of error. followed by scott walker ted cruz rand paul marco rubio and the rest in single digits. the election is a long way out. not a stretch to say we are entering the crunch time. the first republican debate is under two weeks away. i should point out. some observers say is what is driving out some of the amped up rhetoric. if there is one thing donald trump is very good at and has been very good at so far is getting attentiontion.. >> reporter: what's behind the so-called trump bump. the man himself gave his explanation to cnn's jake tapper. >> this is more than me. this is a movement going on. people are tired of these incompetent politicians in washington that can't get anything done. >> reporter: a movement fueled by dissatisfied voters. 53% of republicans say the government in washington doesn't represent their views. even though their party controls the house and the senate. and 52% of republicans say they
5:02 pm
want trump to stay in the race. while just 33% want him to drop out entirely. now trump's rise in the polls is drawing president obama into the fray. weighing in from his trip to africa the president accused other republicans of ramping up their rhetoric to keep up with the brash billionaire. >> when you get rhetoric like this it may, maybe it gets attention and maybe this is just an effort to push mr. trump out of the headlines. but it is not the kind of leadership that is needed for america right now. >> reporter: that criticism aimed squarely at a gop hopeful, mike huckabee who referenced the holocaust in this controversial comment about the president's nuclear deal with iran. >> he is so naive he would trust the iranians and he would take the israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven. >> huckabee's remark sparked a rebuke from democratic front-runner, hillary clinton. >> comments like these are
5:03 pm
offensive and they have no place in our political dialogue. >> reporter: as well as president obama. >> you know the particular comments of mr. huckabee are -- i think part of just a general pattern that we have seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad. >> fellow republican jeb bush also urged the former arkansas governor to tone it down. >> the use of that kind of language, is just wrong. this is not the way we are going to win elections and solve problems. >> late today, huckabee remained defiant. >> i will not apologize or recant. the word holocaust was invoked by the iranian guchlt theyovernment. they used that word. >> so there is some strong backlash against huckabee's comments anybody standing up for him? >> interestingly one of his gop rivals rick santorum said mike huckaby was right. it was clear iran wants to wipe israel out. then he went on to continue defending him today. this gives you an idea of how
5:04 pm
people like jeb bush and people like mike huckabee and rick santorum are competing for different edges of the republican party as we get closer to the original caucus and primary states. anderson. >> appreciate the reporting. joining me michael cohen, works for donald trump. special counsel and vice president of the trump organization joining us anna navaro republican strategist supporter of jeb bush and adviser to gop candidates. thank you for being with us. first, the poll numbers you have to feel happy about where donald trump is snow. >> yes, i am sure mr. trump is feeling very happy. leading the field again for almost a full straight month. top of the field for over five weeks. that doesn't mean he is going to stop. he is going to continue to hit the campaign trail. he is continuing to bring his message of making america great again to the people. >> so as he prepares though for this debate this is going to be something. donald trump says obviously t. in front of cameras, appeared on stage. speaking tours he has been on. but debating as he himself said
5:05 pm
is not something he has necessarily done on this kind of stage. >> mr. trump has never debated before. what is interesting, jeb bush's camp put out, jeb hasn't debated for 13 years. he is feeling a little rusty. donald trump has never been on the debate stage. >> everybody is trying to lower expectations. >> because this is probably going to be the single most watched debate in the history of. >> especially for a primary first gop debate. >> that is largely due to donald trump. >> only because of donald trump. >> how does he actually prepare for this? is he going to -- he hasn't been big on specifics. he hasn't gone into the nitty-gritty of policy. very big picture. going to make america great. problems with illegal immigration. problems of nuts and bolts. do you think he is going to be focusing on that the next couple weeks. in the next week cramming or is he going to try to stay. >> done ald trump is not going to cramp. he read the papers every day.
5:06 pm
he watches all of the political discussions going on television. he is very well informed. but more than that what he is he is a deal-maker. he understands what's necessary in order to make this country great again. >> he is not going to be burning midnight oil, reading policy papers? >> absolutely not. >> fair enough. anna you have been tough on donald trump's candidacy, don't numbers speak for themselves. more people in the race at this point like his approach what he is saying how he is saying it more than any of the other gop candidates? >> i think at this point you can't, you can't argue with that. he is most definitely tapping into voter anger, voter frustration, with the dysfunction in washington. i think you ask anybody they will tell you they hate washington they hate the dysfunction, they hate they can't solve problem that they can't get along. they denton't address issues national complex issues all they do is talk. there is wide frustration across
5:07 pm
the country. i would say not even just republicans with what is going on and is not going on in washington. and also anderson part of it is frankly we have given donald trump more earned media than any other candidate and that any candidate could actually pay for. he declared what june 16th. it's now the end of july. it's like groundhog day. every day we're talking about donald trump. >> i would argue he has earned, earned it? >> i would are gu he earned it as well. >> i would argue he is outrageous and great for earnings. they love the turning of the process into a reality show. the way they tuned in -- >> let us put us that. this isn't just, i don't think this is just about television shows chasing ratings. this is poll driven. this is -- when he started to be a serious candidate at the top of the polls, poll after poll after poll that's when the
5:08 pm
coverage really ex-pleaseploded. >> this is not reality driven anna what this is is donald trump's complete disdane for what's going on right now in our government. i mean look at what's going on in the iran deal. this is just terrible. and, donald trump has been sag you need to have real deal makers. and you need to have them in order to make america great. we have to be strong. we have to be -- >> let me ask you, mr. cohen, does donald trump agree with mike huckabee's comments offended? >> he is not offended by mike huckabee's statement. what he is sag toying to the am can people. without a strong world we don't have a strong world. we need to lead. we need to be humble. we need to be sincere. but what we need how to be is we need to be strong. >> do you believe, at this debate we are going to hear more specifics. i will give you an example.
5:09 pm
he repeatedly said the government of mexico is sending illegal immigrants across the border. i talked to him about that. he said at the border when asked, he had seen evidence of it. when asked if he had seen evidence. yes, i have. we will be showing you the evidence. he hasn't done that. >> anderson when they were setting up the cameras, actually caught people jumping over the fence. we know this is going on. we have 11 million illegal immigrants that are proven. >> that the mexican government themselves are not just not doing a good job stopping people but are actually sending people -- >> they're not stopping them. they're telling them to go. that's the problem. >> but is there any proof that donald from is going to offer. >> if donald trump has the proof, donald trump will provide it. what we know is there a real serious problemen the enin the country with illegal immigration. donald trump brought it to the forefront. >> anna finally with you.
5:10 pm
the more candidates push back against donald trump, the better he seems to be doing. >> i agree with you. i think part of it is this this -- this perception by voters that he represents anti-establishment. which i think is ironic because he has been part of the establishment. he hasn't been you know he hasn't been getting donations from lobbyists he has been giving donations. >> he freely admits. >> he freely admits. he has been able to capture the imagination of voters and seeing him as anti-establishment. look you know, this is the first time with mike huckabee's comments we are speaking abut something that isn't donald trump for the last month and a half. >> that's not true. mr. trump spoke about iran. he said that once weep destable i that area iran was going to take over. >> your candidate jeb bush has been invited on cnn i believe every single day and has yet to actually appear. donald trump, whether you agree
5:11 pm
with what he is saying or not, he he is appearingen front of the media. i talked to him twice. jake tapper talked to him twice. and in, you know wide ranging interviews that have gone for more than 30 minutes. there is not a lot of candidates who do that. jeb bush is not the he is not showing up on cnn. >> he hasn't shown up on cnn. i'm sure at some point he is going to show up on cnn. if nothing else at the cnn debate in september. he gave a wide ranging interview today to telemundo in perfect spanish. he has given a number of interviews. and nobody has been more accessible to the press, had press, answered questions. >> i would disagree with that. nobody has been more accessible to the media than donald trump. the reason why, anna everybody is interested in mr. trump. they're not looking, regarding the debate. what is the american people looking for? you think they're looking for a great debater?
5:12 pm
or a job creator? that's what donald trump is talking to the american people about. he will bring business back to america. turn around and he will create immigration reform. and he will do that -- what is necessary. unlike your guy. unlike your guy who is great at talking. >> all right, michael. i'm glad well i am just glad to see that -- that -- i'm glad to see that mr. trump's minions, are just like him, they come to tv and insult other people. >> it's not insulting. the american people deserve better. >> listen you are a great reflection of the guy you represent. >> as you are as well. >> michael, appreciate you being on. anna always love having you. a quick reminder set your dvr, watch 360 whenever you want. coming up the boat two 14-year-old florida boys were in has been found. still no sign of the missing teens since last friday. the latest on the search and speak with the boys' moms next. also later, don't know if you

crews are searching day and night for two 14-year-old boys last seen near jupiter florida, buying gas for their boat. boat found capsized yesterday. a life jacket found in the water. no sign yet of the boys themselves. their families are certainly not giving up hope. i will speak to the boys' moms in a moment. first martin savage joins me with the latest on the search. what have we found out, martin? >> reporter: well the good news is and it is good news the coast guard is still classifying this as a search-and-rescue operation. so officially they believe there is hope not just the family saying that there is hope.
5:17 pm
and they actually say, anderson given the water conditions they're seeing out there it is possible a person could survive in the water four to five days. the search area now is saint augustine and north. it moves. but it is becoming focused with the finding of the boat. >> does it seem look whatever happened may have occurred due to bad weather, were there storms in that area? >> officially they don't know what happened to the boat. they can't say exactly what happened. other tha than we know yesterday the coast guard found it upside down. when a rescue swimmer went in the water he did note the cover to the outboard and motor was off. maybe that indicates there could have been some sort of motor trouble of some sort. again, we don't know when that boat capsized. it was stormy. i should say, florida stormy. that means, storms in the afternoon. squalls. no tropical storms. but even those can be severe in a small boat. >> martin appreciate the update. thank you. the families have found a rescue fund to help cover costs.
5:18 pm
we are going to have the link on our website, ac360.com if you missed it. joining me pamela cohen, and carly black. pamela and carly, thank you for joining us. i cannot imagine what the last few days have been like for you. what's your understanding, carly, of where the search stands right now? what have authorities told you? >> i think, from what i have been told it is still in full force. i mean they're, they have brought out every resource they have. and they're using everything they have to find our boys. and they truly believe that they're going to find them. that they're out there. and that they're going to find them. >> pa la,mela both your boys they know their way around boats. they know how to operate on the water, right? >> yes, both boys are very very comfortable on the water. we have both always said they're
5:19 pm
just as comfortable on a boat and on the waters they are on land. avid fishermen, swimmers. they're extreme leap@ly athletic and skilled and knowledgeable about being on the water. which is one of the reasons why the search-and-rescue has maintained the force that it has, because there is such strong belief that they will be rescued and found very soon. >> carly, it's been reported that they were traveling to the bahamas, is that your understanding? >> no i don't believe that to be true. i believe that they want out fishing like they said they were. there was a storm that came through that afternoon around 2:00. they were out there. i think the boat capsized not sure when or where. i think they they just -- they had a mishap some where along the line. these boys have been out there doing this forever. it's not new to them. they they -- they prepare for these
5:20 pm
situations. you know? you're taught what to do. you're told what to do. you know it's not like they're -- they're beginners at this. >> they sound like the kind of young men you would want to be with in a situation like this. that they know. >> absolutely. >> how to deal with the situation. >> i have said since this started i would want to be with austin or perry. i mean either one of them. they're strong strong young men. >> yeah. that's something to important to keep in mind. pamela perry, i understand there were restrictions on where he could go and do on the boat correct? >> yes. there were. you know we have all been 14 at some point. and it's equivalent to a child that gets his driver's license. and if you put a restriction, you are only allowed to go within a ten-mile radius of your house. i can guarantee you almost every single child that has their driver's license have gone beyond that. that's what kids do.
5:21 pm
they push the boundaries and push the limits. when restrictions are put on them because they want to really feel independent. i'm not, i'm not mad at him for that. i was a kid too. i understand that. but it's -- it's something that happens. and i think a lot of people think about, but the boys were only 14 years old, what were they doing out on a boat? we live in a boating community. this is part of the lifestyle here. we are surrounded by water. the boys are raised on the water. they're raised on boats. so it really is second nature to them. and they're very, very comfortable. they have the knowledge. they have the skill. just like i said earlier. and they're they're going to be okay. >> yeah well i hope they are found quickly. and brought back to you very very soon. pamela thank you so much. carly, we'll be thinking and praying for you. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> just ahead tonight the initial autopsy findings for bobbi kristina brown have been

5:27 pm
hands. >> reporter: ten years earlier a near mirror image happier times for a family devastated by loss. the death of 22-year-old bobbi kristina was a long and painful chapter. january 31st 2015 brown was found face down in the bathtub of her suburban atlanta home. she was placed in a medically induced coma. in june transferred to a hospice facility. her father saiden a statement, krissy was and is an angel. i am completely numb at this time. my family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. our loss is unimaginable. >> reporter: the loss hard to comprehend three years after her superstar whitney houston died in a similar math manner in the bathtub of a hotel. an accidental drowning.
5:28 pm
bobby christina brown's death under the microscope. days after she was transferred to hospice care. the trust set up filed a $40 million civil lawsuit against nick gordon houston took in to live with them since he was 12 years old. he was raised as a brother and after whitney's death they became involved. the suit claims gordon was physically abusive, knocked out two teeth and alleges they had a loud argument the day bobbi kristina was found unconscious. the lawsuit says gordon lied to get control over bobbi kristina's money claiming they were marry. even withdrawing $11,000 from her account while she lay in her coma. >> i would never hurt anybody. in. >> reporter: in march gordon was on the dr. phil show. his mother and dr. phil trying to get him to accept rehab. gordon admitted to using alcohol
5:29 pm
and xanax before the interview. >> i want to let all you guys know i did everything possible in the world to to protect them. >> reporter: substance abuse possibly an issue in bobbi kristina's life photographed smoking what appeared to be a bong and seemed seemingly impaired on her series houstons on their own. at the time she was 19 years old. in the weeks before sunny was found in bathtub. there were potential warning signs. bobbi kristina lost control of her car after a tire blew crossing into oncoming traffic and colliding with another car. the friend she was with and the person in the other car both hospitalized. and then this. >> somekind of domestic dispute. >> reporter: a 911 call reporting fighting at bobbi kristina's residence. when police arrived no one was home. a representative for nick gordon says they have no comment on the
5:30 pm
civil lawsuit at this time. the investigation to bobbi kristina brown has been turned over to georgia's fulton county district attorney who is not indicated if criminal charges will be brought. autopsy completed to day has not solved the mystery of how bobbi kristina brown dichltd aed. want to dig deeper with sunny hostin and dr. drew pinski host of "dr. drew." does the houston family believe nick gordon played a role in her death? >> they really do. from the very beginning in january, i was told that they were very suspicious of his involvement. in this tragedy. i was told, anderson, that she was missing teeth. that they found some injuries on her body this is when she was first brought to the hospital. and they certainly were suspicious about his involvement. they did not think he was being transparent.
5:31 pm
>> there is no evidence of the physical abuse that has been released? >> my understanding is when she arrived at the hospital at least this is what i was told. >> you are told by sources within the family. so they would have just for objectivity thashg objectivity, they would have a vested interest in getting that message out. >> absolutely. i want to be clear about that as well. they certainly told me that they saw injuries on her body that they felt those injuries were consistent with some sort of struggle. she was missing teeth. and suspicious of about his involvement. they did not allow him to come to the hospital. they did not allow hem toim come to the hospice and in last days not allowed to be near here. >> no matter what happened to her, it is not only so incredibly sad, but so bizarre similarities how her mom passioned apassion ed passed away and the way her mom was found. >> when a young healthy person from this autopsy, no underlying
5:32 pm
medical conditions other than what was the consequence of her drowning. when a young person dies or drowns or is in any sort of nef airnef -- nefarious circumstance you think drugs and alcohol. there was no doubt in my mind drugs and alcohol will loom large. one thing for sure nick gordon did not help in this situation. that is for sure. >> sunny, whatever happened. a lot is going to boil down to how much evidence was gathered immediately after she was actually found because a lot of that evidence is now gone. >> i think that's right. we certainly know this investigation has been open at least since january. my understanding, anderson. there were toxicology reports when she that resulted from when she first arrived there. they did have pictures of the alleged injuries. so i don't know how difficult it will be to prove a case like
5:33 pm
this. understand law enforcement has kept it close to the vest. i have been told by people in the family. but that they have been very cooperative. they want answers and seeking those answers for a long time. they are very much grieving and mourning at this time. while they expected this to happen. i don't think that you can really prepare yourself for something like this. >> dr. drew clearly as sunny indicate they'd would have taken toxicology drug test thousands, test ford drugs anded her for drugs and alcohol when she got to the hospital. >> for sure. want to say something about the missing teeth. a dramatic feature of this story. people need to know when there are resuscitations in the field. she was dead in the field. she had severe highbrain injury. they put tubes down. and doing so in the field they can knock teeth out. it happens they're doing everything father. and trying to save some one's life. just because teeth are missing doesn't mean he necessarily did it. she has been gone, people talk about medically induced coma.
5:34 pm
no she was in a coma. medically induced was to prevent seizuring when they lightened up the coma. >> so sad. more to learn. dr. drew sunny, a cnn exclusive called one of the worst cases of fraud ever in a federal agency. the alleged victims -- among the most vulnerable americans, severely disabled workers. wait until you hear who is a ledgea -- allege edly pocketing, get this $2 billion that should be helping workers get jobs. keeping them honest ahead. kid: what if you're not happy? does he have to pay you back? dad: nope. kid: why not? dad: it doesn't work that way. kid: why not? vo: are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab prep trauma unit 5. what've we got?

tonight keeping them honest exclusive report. cnn learned the nation's premiere federal program tasked with putting severely disabled americans in jobs is being investigated by the department of justice. inside sources tell cnn it is one of the worst cases of fraud and mismanagement they have ever seen in a federal agency. according to our sources more than $2 billion supposed to provide jobs for disabled people is instead being funneled elsewhere. as a result tax dollars earmarked for disabled workers are actually putting the disabled out of work while
5:39 pm
government contractors are raking in million. here is senior investigative correspondent drew griffin. >> reporter: randall love is why the program exists. at the top of his career he was diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor. it crippled his body but not his mind. no longer able to work at an office he sought work from home and found it in a federal program. he will tell you the job cured him. >> it gives me if you would a sense of being worthwhile. i get up just like everybody else in the morning. i go to work too. i'm not disabled. that's why i say secure for me. >> reporter: his job in the i.t. industry comes through a federal program with strict rules. to get a federal contract the government requires 75% of a skuchl company's work be performed by people who are severely disabled. according to the government that means employees not capable of engaging in competitive
5:40 pm
employment. people like randall love who would not otherwise be able to work. but this spring it was all taken away. randall love says what happened to him and other disabled workers isn't right. >> quite honestly a little bit shady to me. very shady to me. >> reporter: the scum pancompany love worked for lost its contract when the government awarded the work to a different bidder. the new company accused of not hiring enough severely disabled work ears corders according to a lawsuit. and though denight and saying they're well within compliance. multiple sources tell cnn they believe it is one of many companies violating the law and raking in hundreds of millions of dollars. >> these are contracts supposed to go to employers who employ people with a disability. >> doing the right thing, in my mind doesn't mean that you put 16 disabled people out of work. doing the right thing also means
5:41 pm
in my mind that you don't replace them with people who don't have disabilities. >> reporter: the problem is sent serd in a little known federal program, ability one. along with its outsourced management group, source america, they manage and award about $2.3 billion in federal contracts every year. multiple sources say these two organizations are being investigated for an acute of such wide scale corruption among the worst case of financial fraud they have ever seen in a federal program. our sources say as many as half of the federal contracts under this disability program may be operating in violation of the law. >> the majority of the individual that were being hired were not severely disabled. >> reporter: though you are supposed to have 75% or more of your work staff be disabled severely disabled. >> in my experience ability one contracts i worked on maybe 10%, 20% were truly severely disabled.
5:42 pm
they truly did not have ability to find gainful employment elsewhere. everybody else they're capable of finding employment. >> this manager who wants to remain anonymous to protect current employment says instead of hiring severely disabled the federal contractor making tens of millions of dollars would hire just about anyone who walked through the door. and no one bothered to check. you could say 100% of my employees are severely disabled. >> correct. >> reporter: none of them are. >> correct. >> you would have the contract? >> nobody is checking. >> reporter: cnn heard same allegations from numerous source as cross the country. source america says they conduct onsite visits according to their statement, source america staff does not determine compliance only u.s. ability one commission is authorized to do so. how does it happen? ability one's commission is made up of presidential appointees but it outsources the management of the program to the nonprofit agency source america.
5:43 pm
source america recommends and according to our sources virtually decides who gets the contracts. worth $2.3 billion every year. former congressional investigator rich butell says it is a recipe for krumenttion.corruption. >> the contracts are funneled to a group of ten large companies getting way more than their fair share. >> reporter: butell and sources, telling cnn, the staffers essentially handing out federal contracts at source america are hef leaveavily influenced by top officials at the same agency and those officials are often connected to the business that get the contracts. >> you have actual advisers and board members in these private organizations who are themselves business owners. and so they can award themselves potentially contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. a perfect setup for waste and
5:44 pm
abuse. >> reporter: no one from source america would go on camera. in a statement the group flatly denies the allegations. no one involved in making award recommendations, the statement reads, is employed by an organization seeking those contracts. and source america denies board members are even involved in the e val wags the evaluation of contract bids, left up to ability one commission whose executive director declined an on-camera interview with skrchlt nn and refused to respond to any specific questions citing pending lawsuits. cnn has learned those lawsuits may be just the beginning. at least four separate inspectors general offices now have active investigations into the dealings of ability one and source america. and the department of justice has opened its own investigation. andrew joins us. this is such an important investigation. it seems like it would be relatively easy to check. people either are disabled or not, right? >> that's right.
5:45 pm

5:51 pm
daughter and grandson. this ty the man who shot him. 51-year-old robert doichlt theyle. the two florida men had crossed paths 2 1/2 minutes earlier during a road rage incident with each car calling 911 to report the other. doyle warns the operators he is heading home where he has a gun. when gonzalez tells 911 he is heading to doyle's house, the operator tells him, not to go there. he goes anyway. gonzalez can be heard yelling at doyle at the house before the shots were fired. gonzalez's wife meanwhile was pleading for police to send help. but it was too late. doyle shot gonzalez once. paused. then fired four more shots.
5:52 pm
the citrus county sheriff told us gonzalez was shot once in the chest and three times in the back. doyle fired five times. the sheriff says they believe gonzalez was hit four times. doyle's wife quickly told the dispatcher what her husband had done. doyle then turned the gun on gonzalez's wife. forcing her and the children out of the car until police arrived. she could do nothing to try and save her dying husband. a neighbor whose home was struck by one of the bullets told reporters he had always thought of doyle as a good guy. >> it a shock to all the people that really know him. he is not the violent man. >> reporter: robert doyle was charged with second degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. he is out on bond wearing an ankle monitor, awaiting his next court date. >> randi, what happened was the
5:53 pm
victim really charging the guy that shot him? >> it is really unbelievable it got to this point, anderson. it was 2:34 according to the sheriff's department from the time they called 911 until ending up in his driveway. and doyle the shooter in this case got home and then gonzalez apparently pulled up as well. decided to walk on to his driveway. that's when he was shot. apparently once in the chest. depending on who is telling the story here it sound like gonzalez the victim started walking back to his car, wife grandson and daughter in it. toward his truck. one of the witnesses said that, who was in the neighborhood said that i saw my neighbor shoot some one in the back trying to run away. doyle's wife the shooter's wife on the phone, told the 911 dispatcher that gonzalez the victim was charging her husband. depend on who you listen to. if he tries to use the stand your ground defense, that's certainly going to come into play. the three shots in the back. >> incredible how it all went down.
5:54 pm
randi kay e, thank you. more on the case in the next hour on 360, continuing into the 9:00 hour tonight. another story tonight from china. before i show you the video, want to warn you. it is tough to watch. may want to look away. a horrific scene, a mom and young son riding on an else ka lay tofrmentka -- escalator. she pushes her son to safety. she is sucked in and crushed to death in the machinery. how and why did this happen? will ripley joins us from beijing. how does something like this happen will? >> so many people here are asking the question. there were no warning signs. the escalator was moving. however there is indication that mall employees knew there was something wrong with that panel at the top of the escalator. they knew it was loose for a full five minutes. yet, you didn't see any maintenance crews.
5:55 pm
obviously the escalator kept moving. this mother and her young child were able to get on and then of course you saw what happened. her maternal instinct took over. able to push her son to safety. we freeze the video, a few second later you see one of the women at the top trying to grab her arm. she lost her grichltp. took them four hours to find the mother as they dismantled the escalator. horrifying. >> she is sucked under the escalator within a matter of seconds. the mall employees waiting for the woman at the top of the escalator. did they actually know you said it was kind of known that the plate was loose. was that why they were up there or were they regular greeters? has the mallory lease release a statement or something related to this? >> that's the big question what were the women doing? were they speaking to this mother. were they trying to warn her there may be aless loose panel at the top? or was that their job?
5:56 pm
some times in asia staff members job is to help people get on and off of an escalator or elevator. not uncommon. either way, clearly no attempt to keep customers from getting on it. you could see customers down below who stpdopped to watch once they realized what happened. city officials are blaming this on human error. they say a full five minutes there was warning. they didn't stop the escalator for repairs. yet the mall has not answered repeated phone calls. the maintenance company responsible for that also hasn't commented. >> just awful. will riply. thank you very much. a lot more aheaden our second hour of "360" an rnc leader weigh in on donald trump, mike huckabee's comments. also ahead. 1200 guns 700 pounds of ammo all found in a dead man's home. he told his fiancee he worked for multiple spy agencies. not true. a lot of questions about who he really was and what he was planning to do with all the guns.
