i'm erica hill in new york. explosive evidence, gruesome, internet searches and trash bags filled with dna. we'll begin with those chilling new details all emerging from court just a short time ago as a missing mother's husband is now being held without bond on a murder charge. prosecutors telling a massachusetts judge exactly what they believe happened to ana walshe. >> it is believed that brian walshe dismembered her body. >> jason carroll is live outside the courthouse. criminologist kacey jordan here. first, we did learn a lot this morning about what prosecutors say brian walshe did in the days both before and after ana walshe as reported missing. you were in the courtroom. what did prosecutors reveal? >> right, and very specific detail i was seated just behind the prosecutor there. she took out her notebook, erica, and was flipping over

page after page reading a long gruesome list of allegedly some of the things that brian walshe had googled in the wake of his wife's disappearance. i want to read through some of it. some is unbelievable. on january 1st. 4:55 a.m. in the morning, how long before a body starts to smell. minutes later, how to stop a body from decomposing. ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to. can you throw away body parts? how to clean blood from a wooden floor. the very next day, january 2nd, 12:45 a.m., hacksaw, best tool to dismember. can you be charged with murder without a body? 1:14 p.m., can you identify a body with spoken teeth. let's go to the next day, january 3rd. 1:02, what happens to hair on a dead body? then he googled allegedly what is the rate of decomposition of a body found in a plastic bag compared to a surface in the woods?

can baking soda mask or make a body smell good? and that's just some of the google searches then they went over some of the evidence that investigators found in this case. some of this evidence stained with blood, evidence recovered from a dumpster and from a trash facility as well. that included towels, rags, slippers, cape, glove, cleaning supply, remember, he bought those cleaning supplies, some of those cleaning supplies allegedly at a home depot, a hacksaw, hatchet ana walshe's covid card, one of her purse, boot, a broken necklace, some of these items had her and his dna on it and then there's what investigators say they discovered on january 4th at the home. >> on january 4th, when the police went to the house on the well-being visit they observed his volvo with his seats down and plastic liner in the back of the car, the next day it showed

his seats folded down, mats with dirt and the carpet appeared to show fresh vacuum streaks. when asked about the liner he said he threw it in the trash. later analyzed the car. >> reporter: and back to those chilling google search, according to the prosecutor here at the quincy county courthouse, brian walshe used his son's ipad to conduct those searches when she made that point in court, he just shook his head. erica. >> wow, i mean, there is so much in that detail, jason, casey, when we look at this, brian walshe's defense attorney just a short time ago released the following statement saying in part it's easy to charge a crime, even easier to say they committed it. but much more difficult to prove it. my experience here, the prosecution leaks so-called evidence to the press before they provided it to me noting their case isn't that strong.

casey, based on what we know publicly how would you rate the prosecutor's case? >> i watched this live, erica, this morning and i found it bombshell after bombshell. i mean, we had already heard about the broken knife and blood evidence found in the basement then we knew there were things like the hacksaw found at the trafrns for station but the bombshells were her covid card, her purse and clothing she was last seen wearing on new year's eve by the friend who was over at their house. she can say no body, no crime. i think that's what her defense will be but we know you can get convictions without entire bodies intact and especially based on dna evidence. i think the worst thing are the google searches for certain. but, you know, dulos was charged with no body found and didn't live to go to trial but in the last 60, 60 years, i think there have been 70 cases where they have gotten murder convictions with no body and i think this

circumstantial evidence is already overwhelming and i think it will grow and grow. >> in terms of that, though, the defense attorney also questioned what may or may not be admissible in court. anything that you heard this morning that raises a red flag in terms of something that may not be admissible, casey? >> i haven't heard anything so far. i think she's inclusiving the straws. i work as a defense attorney. you'll poke things in everything you can. the best thing she has going for her the garbage was mixed obviously, you know, in trucks and taken to transfer stations, so that you're going to argue that the dna was contaminated. to me one of the worst things that happened was the december 27th he googled which tate is best to divorce your wife and that gives motive. so if he was going to argue that he's been framed or that, you know, she died of natural causes and he just got rid of the body which we've seen in the robert durst case, things like that, self-defense, whatever he has up his sleeve i've got to tell you juries love forensic, dna and

google searches and cell phone pings and they really mapped out a compelling time line and together with the circumstantial evidence, i think the defense attorney should be a little bit worried. >> jason, in terms of that december 27th google search about divorce, what else came up from the prosecution, if anything, when it comes to motive? >> well, to speak to that point i think a lot of folks out here have been wondering what a possible motive could be. should be noted, though, the prosecution doesn't have to show motive when it comes to a murder case. they have to show intent. but don't necessarily have to show motive. however, when speaking to that, again, as was mentioned here, december 27th he did allegedly do this google search. what is the best state to get a divorce if you're a man then there's the one -- another from january 1st i want to point out. how long someone missing to inherit? and so that leads anyone who has been watching this to believe when it comes to motive money is

going to more than likely play a role here. >> and in terms of the fact that technically ana walshe is still missing, you already spoke to this point but it's come up again and again, not only can you be charged for a murder without a body but if terms of a potential conviction it is certainly not out of the realm of possibility. >> it's not out of the realm. and, again, it's -- you know, i live in the state of connecticut where almost 40 years ago we had the wood chipper case based on a fingernail before we had dna evidence, technology that we had today. fingernail with matching nail polish got a conviction so i think we have very savvy juries today. they understand what dna evidence is and are good at connecting the dots. "csi" is 50% fiction but they do understand how an offender could get rid of a body and think without the body there is no conviction. we've seen it. we see it time and time again and it's not like this man has a

good history, he was already on house arrest for white collar crimes. that won't help either. >> i grew up in connecticut and remember that case very, very well. will never forget it. appreciate it. thank you both. turning to new mexico now where in just a few hours failed republican political candidate solomon pena is set to make his first court appearance. pena is an election denier accused of hiring hit men to shoot at four democrats' homes. josh campbell joins us with the latest. so as i mentioned this court appearance happening a short time from now but also today, some new information about another disturbing visit that pena made to one of the homes before there was a shooting at that home. walk us through that new information. >> this is such a chilling part of the case. we have prosecutors saying that this suspect not only was there to actually shoot at these residences but prior to the attacks he visited at these three of the homes of these elected officials who eventually

targeted and the reason it's important is because this is helping get inside his mindset. this appears to be swung who believed in these election lies and was so angry and irate he wanted to confront democratic officials in new mexico. we know that he lost his election buy a landslide but nevertheless persisted in claiming he won and also learning new information about him. cnn's paul murphy spoke with a former campaign staffer of this republican statehouse representative who said he would often berate other republicans who he didn't believe were loyal to donald trump. the staffer eventually quit saying working for this cade was a, quote, a headache but it's interesting because we know the former president has also been out there spreading election lies about his own race and, you know, just to show you some of the evidence that officials have gathered in this case, i want to read you one quote that police say this was found on the suspect's cell phone. they say he had texted another co-conspirator in this conspiracy saying that they just certified it.

they sole us out to the highest bidder. they were literally laughing at us while they were doing it and, again, that occurred after according to police the suspect was sending the addresses of these eventually targets to the other co-conspirators. so a lot of damning evidence and show you other evidence and photographs that officials found on the suspect's phone and some of the co-conspirators, you see this is video of him actually visiting one of those residences but as part of the affidavit they show photos of the guns allegedly used and include a glock 9 millimeter pistol which had a drum magazine, a high capacity magazine. police say they also believe that another weapon used in this attack was a high capacity assault-style weapon. so very frightening there obviously this type of weaponry used alleged will i fired at these residences. no one was physically hurt but there was damage, of course, to these residents. finally the suspect will be in court in just a couple hours' time and faces a litany of charges. we will wait to see whether this

judge determines that he remains a threat to the public and is not allowed to be released on bond. we have reached out to his attorney for comment then finally waiting to learn what is the state of the other four conspirators. they're still trying to determine if they knew the identities of thesing its or whether they were hired to sprat this political overtone as well, someone who seemed to be believing in these lies and then determined that he would allegedly act on them with violence. >> absolutely, josh, appreciate all the updates. thank you. >> you bet. so speed a factor in that weekend crash that killed a university of georgia football player and a team staff member. that's according to police. the vehicle according to the police report was going faster than the 40-mile-per-hour limit when it hit a curb then slammed into two utility poles, two trees and finally an apartment building. the driver chandler lacroix was pronounced dead at the scene.

two other passengers were injured but survived. cnn has requested the toxicology results from the driver's autopsy. a deadly scene to tell you about in ukraine where a helicopter crashed in a kyiv suburb coming down near a kindergarten and an apartment building at least one child we know is among the 14 people who are confirmed dead. also killed ukraine's interior minister. cnn's fred pleitgen is at the crash site. as far as we know this is a horrific tragedy. >> reporter: that's the way the ukrainians are treating it, erica. they do say they are looking into any sort of other possibilities that might be out there especially something like mechanical failure, pilot error and do understand there was fog in the region as this chopper was coming through. you're right. that chopper did crash right next to an apartment building, literally on the foot of that apartment building here at first it did actually hit a kindergarten as well. it crashed into the kindergarten

and then sort of traveled a little further and came to a crash right there in front of that apartment building. everybody on board the chopper was killed. several people on the ground as well including a child as you say and several top officials of this country. the interior minister, denys monastyrsky, his deputy and state secretary of the interior ministry as well, very important politicians especially right now in this phase in ukraine when, of course, the police forces are extremely important and also the emergency services if you look at some of the operations after there were russian strikes, cleanup operation, obviously the emergency services this this country play the very important role. and the ukrainians are treating it that way. there's a lot of people who have an outpouring of support and even the country's president volodymyr zelenskyy as he was speaking at the world economic forum in davos or to the world economic for rum remotely called for a moment of silence for denys monastyrsky and those who were killed on board this

helicopter, nine people were on board in total, 14 people in total have been killed and, again, the ukrainians are saying there will be a full investigation as to what caused this crash. they don't believe that there was any foul play at this point in time but also say that the investigation could take weeks as we see forensic teams there. we see a cleanup crew there as they're trying to get the debris out of the way but search and rescue operation was ended quickly. there was a huge explosion they say and the chopper was on the way to northeast to kharkiv, the interior minister had places he wanted to visit there and, of course, a lot of mourning now here in this country as ukraine, of course, faces so many difficulties in this phase of this time with the assault coming from the russians, with those attacks that are taking place on ukrainian cities from russian missiles, as well. this, another big blow to a nation that is already really being tested, erica. >> yeah, absolutely, fred,

appreciate it. thank you. well, the investigation into president biden's classified documents is ramping up as former president trump makes a surprise admission about his own document probe. plus, the governor of illinois slamming dozens of sheriffs in his state for refusing to enforce new gun laws. now the courts are getting involved. do skyrocketing egg prices have you scrambling for solutions? maybe you're thinking, hey, time to add a few chickens to the backyard. hold on. what you should know before you build that coop. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us s focus on the how. just tell us - whwhat's your why? for your most brilliant smile, crest has you covered. “nicemile, brad.” “nice!” “than?” crest 3d white. 100% more stain removal. “than?” crest. crest 3d white. the #1 toothpaste brand .

after days of scrambling behind the scenes at the white house and plenty of public criticism a strategy for how the biden team plans to deal with the document scandal is taking shape so in short pledging full cooperation, no plan to discuss the details and attack republicans. so when it comes to cooperation we do now know federal investigators have questioned the personal attorney for president biden who found that

first batch of classified documents at the penn biden center office. house republicans meantime, are also asking for information. the oversight committee requesting a host of materials from the university of pennsylvania including visitor logs. here to discuss cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elliot williams. when we look at what we're looking at, questions about the interview with patrick moore, the president's personal attorney. there's discussion about the fact this wasn't a sworn statement. i know there's a more technical term for that. is that in your view evidence of special treatment here, or is this a nothing burger? >> maybe somewhere between the two. i certainly wouldn't call it special treatment, erica, because it's not uncommon to have an informal conversation with law enforcement assuming that the individual being interviewed or the subject being interviewed is cooperating with law enforcement. not everything ends up being a scorched earth negotiation or,

you know, subpoenas flying or that kind of conduct and often there will be informal conversations, now, look, this -- the conversation here was not memorialized, i believe. it wasn't sworn, which might raise eyebrows but, again, it's simply not uncommon in law enforcement. >> so not uncommon there. there are also questions about attorney/client privilege, right? if this is the president's personal attorney could that come into play? >> well, you know, there's an explanation for why the president's attorney was the one doing the search, perhaps and pure speculation here that they were expecting to find attorney/client privileged documents which is why they have him doing the search. you couldn't have white house staff doing it because this isn't the work of the government. this is essentially the work of president biden's former -- i guess the private citizen if you want to call it that.

yeah, the vice president, right. now, attorney/client privilege here, he's not representing the president as an attorney here. if what we're talking about is going through files and documents, it gets a little complicated when talking about when the privilege would attach or not but he's not providing advice to the president. i don't think so, erica, right there. >> you know, it's interesting, we also heard from former president trump today who was chiming in on his classified documents investigation so he was saying he kept hundreds of these files, empty folders, i should say, file folders that were labeled classified. he said they were, quote, a cool keepsake. could that say anything about intent or are these just a cool keepsake? >> you know, former president trump is 25% right, let's say, on one thing which is that the outer coverings of classified

documents are not themselves classified documents, right? it's those -- that covering and you've seen it is exists to protect the material inside. so he's right insofar as they're not themselves classified documents. now, the question is, why is a president of the united states keeping the coverings of classified documents as a -- it's a bizarre keepsake to say the least. this inquestion of intent what it suggests he's sloppy at a minimum with classified information which could be a defense for him because i didn't intend to commit a crime. i'm just sloppy all the time. now if he's so sloppy as to be seen as greecely negligent that certainly can be evidence of a crime because there are statutes, at least one of the document mishandling statutes here requires the defendant to be, grocery negligent in their handling of materials so could cut both ways for him. the bigger picture, my goodness, why is an individual taking the

coverings of classified documents just to say he has them which is just odd. >> it's an excellent point. elliot williams, always appreciate your insight, my friend. thank you. well, this week republican leadership in the house rewarded prominent election deniers including marjorie taylor greene given them plum assignments on powerful committees. when it comes to her you may recall she -- not just about election conspiracies. she believed in qanon and believed nancy pelosi should be executed and was kicked off committees because of some of those views and lauren fox is on the hill for us so, lauren, all of these conspiracies, 9/11 conspiracies, now she's on homeland security. that is not the only committee appointment that is getting some attention. what else is happening there? >> reporter: yeah, i mean obviously marjorie taylor greene is a significant character in the republican party and she's seen as somebody who is a

hard-liner on issues like immigration. now, she's going to be serving on the homeland security committee and also going to have oversight over investigates into biden. his family members and any other issue that the oversight committee wants to take on so that is another significant appointment and like you said she's not the only controversial figure in the republican party to get a committee assignment yesterday. paul gosar, another member of the republican conference who was kicked off his committees from democrats in the last congress, he also got back his committee assignments he had had previously after the steering committee meeting, he is going to be serving on the oversight committee as well as the natural resources committee. that's a committee that is important for his state of arizona where he serves and when you are serving on these committees, it gives you actionable items you can take home to constituents and saying, look, i'm working for you and trying to get answers to questions i have been promising i would get answers to so it is

really important to remember that this isn't just about serving on these committees but this is really used to help you get re-elected in the future as well, erica. >> well, when we're looking at everything else happening, george santos was given committee assignments, the subject of several investigations and know about these several significant lies. what are we hearing about him and those assignments? >> reporter: well, this really follows the pattern that you've heard from republican leaders all along, which is they do not want to make any decisions about george santos. they want the ethics committee instead to be making those kinds of recommendations and what you heard from members yesterday was that we appointed george santos on committees and he was appointed to both the science committee as well as the small business committee. the reason he got those committee assignments is because they argue he's still representing a million people. he was duly elected and we have no other choice but to seat him but, of course, can make another

decision, the steering committee is the speaker's committee because it's full of his allies and reflects the speaker's issues. ways and means or foreign affairs, even though not that it's still a way for george santos to go back to constituents and say, i'm doing something on capitol hill, erica. >> lauren fox, appreciate it. thank you. in illinois an emergency hearing being held today to stop a new state ban on assault weapons, already dozens of sheriffs have refused to enforce that law and caps the sale of high capacity ammunition magazines and bans switches which can convert legal handguns into assault weapons and it requires existing owners of semiautomatic guns to register that ownership. cnn's whitney wild is in chicago. what more do we know about these legal challenges to the law? >> reporter: well, this is

anticipated and this is at the very early stage. this main lawsuit is by two firearm stores making a single argument and it's this, they say this law is so broad that it basically diminishes the rights of law-abiding citizens. they make several arguments one of which is they basically say, look, these weapons are traditionally viewed as lawful. they are very commonly used and they're commonly used for lawful purposes like hunting, like self-defense, another one of the argument they're making here is that the ban is just so broad and the list of weapons that falls under this ban is so extensive that some of these firearms are not actually meeting the definition of an assault weapon according to these parties so basically they're saying, look, this list is too broad and includes weapons that don't traditionally meet the criteria to be considered an assault weapon. another main argument they're making, erica, is that if these weapons are simply not

frequently used in crimes enough to warrant such an extensive ban and say the fraction of semiautomatic rifles, you know, those that do meet the assault weapons definition are used in a much smaller number of crimes relative to other types of firearms that are not subject to this very extensive assault weapons ban and then finally, the main argument they're making here is that they believe that the state, particularly when it comes to this limit on the number of bullets can you have in a magazine that basically they are criminalizing law-abiding citizens who have used laws that had been, you know, or methods rather that have been lawful up until this point basically criminalizing commonly used and traditionally lawful methods. as you had mentioned, there are members of law enforcement here in illinois who are saying point blank they won't enforce the law to which governor press kerr says there's nothing yet to enforce yet. >> it's a lot of political

grandstanding by elected republican sheriffs you're hearing from. the truth is there's nothing for them to enforce at this point. the fact is that right now, we have one year for people to register the serial numbers and outlawed the purchase or sale of any of those types of weapons in illinois going forward. >> reporter: erica it's knowable to remember this law is a direct response to the shooting in highland park over fourth of july ha killed seven people. this law slid through the illinois legislature very, very quickly. again, these challenges were anticipated so certainly this is a case to watch. >> whitney while, appreciate it. thank you. well, inflation may be slowing. what about spending, though? why are americans reining it in? we'll take a closer look. plus, what the cluck -- the puns keep coming -- egg prices

reinforcing the growing consensus that the worst of inflation is actually behind us. that sounds good, right? there's also this report which shows consumers are reining it in and spending less, which could be another sign that a recession is near. cnn's rahel solomon is here. the u.s. economy is built on, of course, consumer spending, so walk us through the numbers and what they tell us. >> reporter: a great point, erica. consumer spending is the backbone of the u.s. economy so good news, let's start with the good. inflation, yet another example inflation is easing so this morning we got the ppi report, the producer price index report which is essentially inflation or prices at the wholesale or supplier level and what it showed is that prices fell on a monthly basis 0.5%. now, on an annual basis prices are still higher by 6.2% so that's also not so good but dire directionally this is a good sign. now, when we look at some of the categories with the largest declines it's categories like

gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, vegetables, chicken, chicken eggs, however, not going down and saw price increases as well as electric power. a few ways to look at a a a like this. what it tells us about the most recent history but also what it tells us about where we're coming from and directionally where we may be going and take a look, 6.2%, that's a nice ways down from the peak we saw in march of 2022. that was 11.7%. so a nice, wow, that's supposed to say 11.7. nice decline there. at the same time, erica, has you pointed out retail sales fell. this was a disappointment. 1.1% fall and retail sales for the month of december, november was also revised down, so, erica, what this is telling us and i should say these are broad-based, what it's telling us that these higher prices, the higher rates are really starting to bite and shifting how people spend. >> we're rethinking some of those decisions. rahel, appreciate it, as always. from inflation to

egg-flation. you heard the price of eggs not going down and keeps rising. before you turn your backyard into a chicken coop and trust me, my husband has suggested this, want to put the hen to work for you, think about it twice. who better than tom foreman to walk us through. there there's a lot to take into account. you have personal experience. >> i grew up in farm country. i was around people with chickens and i have been around chickens. chickens are my friend. the people want to do this is look what happened to prices here. from november to december, 11% up, the cost of egg, 60% up annually, a big, big jump out there. a lot of people are saying, look, can i invest in my backyard and get my own chickens. a lot to consider, the rules of your neighborhood. you have to make sure you have the right amount of space and consider some of the risks that are involved. if you have chickens out there, chickens are very prone to carry

salmonella and can carry it. their beaks, feet, even their bodies and have to keep their environment very clean if you're going to do that. that means work, you can't just grab them and let them go there. how big a risk is this? plenty of people get sick from it and some, 225 wound up in the hospital as a result of this two deaths s that enough to stop you, no, but it is enough to caution you. think about what has to be done if you want to be safe raising your own chickens and your own eggs out there. again, they have to have plenty of room. they have to be kept clean. you have to keep the place nice for them. good for the chickens and you. children under 5 basically keep them away. their systems of being able to fight off disease is not developed enough. don't kiss or snuggle the chickens, i know it's tempting. but don't do it. don't eat or drink near the chickens especially not popeyes, obviously reasons and you might want to have coop shoes, shoes that you only wear when you go

in to see the chickens and when you come out you take them off so you don't bring that into the house. chickens are wonderful animals. you can be around them but you have to take them seriously for your health and for their health and ultimately, erica, here's the thing. if your husband goes ahead with this and start raising chickens you have to treat the eggs in a special way as well. collect them immediately. don't let them sit out there forever. throw away any with cracks that could allow bacteria to get inside. these are also porous and don't look like it. so you wipe off the dirt. you don't wash them off unless you're going to immediately refrigerate even then use warm water to push the bacteria out. refrigerate them. it's safer. when you use them look for a firm white and yolk to tell you that that egg is healthy. it's a great experiment. it's a fun thing to do. it's interesting to do and it might save you money although a little warning, if you and your husband get a bunch of little

chicking they won't produce eggs for a long time. >> we are not getting chickens. if i were to i would call chicken expert tom foreman for advice. >> we'll talk about it. yoyoyoave chickens before next weekend. >> you can chat but the fact you can't cuddle them, i'll stick with the dog. tom foreman, pie friend, always good to see you. a terrifying tipping point. sea levels rising and so are the temperatures in greenland. the warmest levels on the ice sheet there in at least a thousand years. developed with vets. made from real meatt and veggies. portioned for your dog. and delivered righght to your door. it's smarter, healthier pet food. back when i had a working circulatory system, you had to give your right arm to find great talent. but with upwork, there's ghly skilled talent from all over the globe righat your fingertips.

a new study shows the temperatures on greenland's ice sheet are the warm effort in at least a thousand years, and as temperatures rise, of course, the water levels go up and it can be a recipe for disaster as we've seen potentially leading to more scenes like this one. you remember this house in north carolina that washed into the ocean. cnn chief climate correspondent bill weir is here. it's been a thousand years, so we know that it was this warm a thousand years ago. what happened when it was this warm a thousand years ago? >> we didn't have the civilizations on the coast as we do now. we haven't built on places like the barrier islands which you saw there and at the current rates and at the current melt rates greenland added a foot and a half of sea level rise by the end of the century, re-engineering every port as you think about that but this is just more empirical evidence of what scientists have been trying to tell us for a long time. cnn was with these scientists when they put the ice cores in ten years ago, fret pleitgen with with them.
