and finally tonight as talk of a 2024 presidential run grows, the florida governor ron desantis is playing to his base, doubling down on permanently banning covid vaccine mandates. in a tweet desantis saying the move will protect people from what he calls medical authorize taronism. now, if the proposal passes it would extend indefinitely temporary measures that desantis signed in 2021 which allow florida, the government, to fine businesses if the businesses require the covid vaccine. of course, an example of the government stepping into make the call, not individual companies and it's a story we'll continue to watch. thanks for joining us. it's time for "a.c. 360." good evening, on a day that brian walshe was arraigned in

the disappearance of his wife ana. we learned in horrifying detail what prosecutors say he did to her and the online research he said he did on how. this includes in the space of less than one hour searches for, quote, how to stop a body from decomposing, how to embalm a body and ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to. ana walshe is the mother of their three young children. she's been missing since the new year and today in a quincy, massachusetts, courtroom prosecutors laid out what they believe her husband did to her. jason carroll joins us with the latest. talk about the arraignment. did the prosecutor provide any explanation for motive? >> reporter: well, anderson, you talked about some of those searches there, and if you're talking about motive, i would direct you to some of those searches. two in particular that walshe allegedly made, one had to do with divorcing, what's the best state for a man to get a divorce. he searched about that. the other was about inheritance and when is the best time in order to get an inheritance after someone has disappeared.

>> it is believed that brian walshe dismembered walshe and discarded her body. >> reporter: chilling new details revealed in court by prosecutors describing the evidence against the massachusetts father who allegedly murder the his wife and tried to cover it up. brian walshe in custody since january 8th when he was charged with misleading investigators searching for his wife was in court for the arraignment wednesday and formally charged with ana walshe's murder. >> you under stand the charges? >> i do. >> reporter: the prosecution laid out some of the disturbing evidence against walshe saying he used his son's ipad to make numerous online searches in the days before and after ana walshe disappeared. >> on december 27th, defendant googled what's the best state to divorce for a man? at 4:55 a.m. on january 1st. he searched, how long before a body starts to smell? at 4:58 a.m., how to stop a body

from decomposing. >> reporter: a not guilty plea was entered for walshe who said little in court only shook his head once as more of his alleged searches came to light. >> at 5:20 a.m. he searched how to embalm a body. at a:47 a.m., ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to. at 6:25 a.m. on the 1st how long for sun to be missing to inherit. >> reporter: ana's employer, a d.c. real estate firm was the first to report her missing when she didn't show up for work on january 4th. that's when police went to the wa walshes' home for a well-being check. >> it was only at this time when they met with the defendant he first recorded his wife missing. >> reporter: during the course of the investigation, police found ten trash bags from a dumpster and trash facility with items including towels, rags, slippers, tape, gloves, cleaning

agents, a covid-19 vaccination card with ana walshe's name on it, a hacksaw and a hatchet. they also discovered personal items including a portion of a necklace believed to have been worn by ana walshe in several photos, tests of some of the items by the state crime lab determined the presence of dna from both ana and brian walshe. after the arraignment, defense attorney tracy minor called out prosecutors for leaks in the case saying in a statement that read in my experience, where as here the prosecution leaks so-called evidence to the press before they provide it to me their case isn't that strong. minor also said, it is easy to charge a crime and even easier to say a person committed that crime. it is a much more difficult thing to prove it which we will see if the prosecution can do. >> jason, prosecutors released new details about surveillance video and the state of the car brian walshe had. >> reporter: they did, they did.

prosecutors say that a figure fitting walshe's description was seen on surveillance cameras trying to empty and dump something into a dumpster. they also say that blood was found in the walshe's car, the volvo parked at the house. but despite all of the evidence that the prosecution says that they have in their hands, they also point out that some of the trash bags that walshe had gotten rid of, they feel as though whatever was inside those trash bags was incinerated before they could get their hands on it. anderson. >> jason carroll, appreciate it. what went into making the case, joining us for that chief law enforcement and intelligence intel john miller, also former fbi special agent criminal profiler mary ellen o'toole and mark o'meara. john, there's so much disturbing evidence laid out in court today. these -- i just got to say these google search, internet searches are incredible.

i mean from 4:55 a.m. how long before a body starts to smell to 1:08:00 p.m., what happens when you put body parts in ammonia. even the next day, more questions about january -- actually two days later, january 3rd, can baking soda mask or make a body smell good? what happens to hair on a dead body? i mean this is incriminating? >> so it's extraordinarily incriminating and it certainly goes far beyond the probable cause that they would have needed to establish today in order to bring the charge but it's not all they know and it's not all they're going to know. the investigation is still very active right now. what you do see, though, is like the fragments of evidence that will come together. you see two fragments of a motive. one is a search on the 27th, remember, she disappears on or about the 1st and isn't reported until the 4th but on the 27th he asks what's the best state for divorce and then shortly after they believe she was murdered,

this question is, how long after death can you inherit. >> and that question is, i mean that's at 6:25 a.m. on the 21st. that's right after -- a few minutes after he's searched ten ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to then allegedly then he allegedly searches how long for someone to be missing to inherit and then after that, 11 minutes later, can you throw away body parts? >> so what you see here, anderson, is really telling, which is there's a couple of ways to do this and mary ellen o'toole is the expert but you have the organized offender where the organized offender would have planned all this out ahead of time then executed 9 murder and then set into motion his plan to cover it up. this this case it looks like the murder was spontaneous because the plan to cover it up seems to follow the murder within moments. so it doesn't seem that he planned ahead for the killing.

it seems he began planning ahead for the cover-up after the fact. >> mary ellen, your reports from the searches we've been talking about, what stood out to you today in court? >> well, a couple, obviously a couple things. the searches did not appear to be idle searches so it would be difficult to say in court, well, i was just -- i was curious about this. if you were a forensic science student, it would be easier to explain why you would ask those kind of questions because your research would be directed in those areas. but on the other hand, the searches were supported by going to stores and making purchases and then they're supported by evidence that's found by csi people. they found the blood, they found the tyvek suit and other items of evidence so the searches cannot stand by themselves as being idle so i think that is number one that's very important. one of the most compelling searches for me was when there

was a search regarding the teeth. can teeth be significant in identifying someone? that's very -- that was very specific compared to the other searches and the first consideration that i had was if the body were found, would there have been damage to the teeth? again, that was more than just how do you do it but with specificity about the teeth. >> i was looking down. that search is on january 2nd according to authorities at 1:14 p.m. >> how -- can broken teeth -- >> can you identify a body with broken teeth. >> that's a tell. >> a very specific -- just so disturbing to think about. mark, the defense attorney says the prosecution's case isn't strong. as a criminal defense attorney do you agree? >> well, i think it's the best that she could have said under the circumstances. what she said was don't tell the media before you give it to me. look, discovery hasn't even begun so i would give miss miner her due. the only thing she could say was let's do it in the court, not

the media. how dare you give it out before i get it in the normal course of business is the only thing she could say. don't forget a defense attorney has to say very little. they have no idea yet what their defense is going to be. this he don't know the true strength of the state's case and where they might fit mitigation or defense into, so she did all she can say which was lay the foundation for stop telling the media, only tell me. >> but i mean correct me if i'm wrong. they weren't leaking this out. this was in court documents. >> i mean, there are a couple of things that came out before they came out in court documents on cnn, we broke the stories about google searches, but the major information came out in the first affidavit in support of the arrest for misleading the police and then the rest of it, the stuff we're talking about tonight came out in these public documents filed with the court turned over to the defense but i think the counselor is right. she's doing her job which is

she's got to stand up and say, my client is innocent and throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. >> mary ellen, watching him, i don't know, do you read much into watching a defendant in a courtroom? people react to things in different ways. you can't necessarily judge how somebody behaves in public, i guess, but it was just fascinating to watch him listening as prosecutors are reading out these google searches, reading out the time line of information they have. >> well, absolutely. there was a noted absence of emotion. there was no response, no indication that there were feelings of sadness or remorse or guilt. nothing. it was just a very blank look. and the eyes were just without any kind of depth to them. the only time that there was a little bit of movement was when it was brought up about the search for the inheritance then his eyes sort of went to the side but i think that was very

profound and there are many offenders, they don't realize they come across that way and that may be the case here because we're dealing with someone ma may be devoid of a lot of emotion. >> mark, given the amount of evidence that's been laid out so far, i mean, how long likely is it this case goes to trial? >> well, in my opinion, remember, most cases don't. even the high publicity ones so the idea seems to be leaning towards it wasn't well planned as john said. this was not an organized offender. this was very disorganized. this plan to cover up much more than plan the murder so looking at second degree and maybe we're looking at second degree with some explanation, with some ex-kulesza, some mitigation so the thought is get with the prosecutor once a case is strong as it seems to be and try and work something out to give this guy a potential after a long time in prison, a potential for parole. maybe even something less than second degree if there's enough mental health mitigation so my

thought is, this case should not end up in trial where the risk is a life sentence but work something out with the prosecutor once you've crossed your ts and dotted your is. >> mark o'mara, mary ellen and john, thank you. a special edition of "360." forensic scientists will join us and elie honig for a close look at the aspect of this case coming up at 9:00 p.m. eastern. the white house's new strategy for getting ahead of the clarssified documents story and the president's attempt to minimizing his own problems. caitlin collins and maggie haberman join me for that. the george santos story, santos prompted to raise money for his dog for lifesaving surgery but then ran off with the money.

rolling disclosures or new discoveries last week put the white house on its back foot in terms of its ability to, a, put out a coherent message and, b, focus on the agenda. the press long wanted to talk about. that's where things have been different this week up to this point. a somewhat steadied operation as they focus on the things they have made clear they're going to continue to focus on throughout the course of this investigation. now, first and foremost it's the president's agenda it several. his schedule remains mostly unchanged traveling to california tomorrow to visit storm hit areas. meeting with world leaders, talking about his agenda. that is not changing at all. there's also very clear attacks and efforts to draw contrasts with house republicans. they have long been the foil for this white house and certainly elevate the as such thips they took the majority and over the course of the last three days a steady and intense focus on calling out republicans particularly they view as hypocritical when compared to president biden's predecessor own issues with classified documents. one thing you won't hear, anderson, any new details, any

answers to questions that remain unanswered to this point. that is not a shift but also very intentional. in terms of what you are going to hear, take a listen. >> from this point on, are you not going to be taking questions about the classified documents? >> i have been very clear over and over again. we are going to be prudent here. we're going to be consistent. this particular matter is being looked at. there is a legal process currently happening at the department of justice and i'm going to refer you to the department of justice on any specifics to this particular case and anything that has to deal with our -- what we're doing here, i would prefer to the white house counsel's office. >> anderson, there will be no engagement. no answers to unanswered questions. lawyers have made clear it's not a smart idea particularly with an investigation that they simply don't have a lot of insight into either in time horizon or in terms of what it will entail in the weeks and months ahead. >> does what they are saying

match with what they're saying behind the scenes? >> reporter: i think it's worth noting that the vast majority of white house officials had no knowledge of this over the course of the nearly two months a review was ongoing and most have no involvement in it at this moment in time. and for those officials this is a matter of trying to just keep their heads down and do the work they long planned. this was viewed as a very critical couple of months ahead. the president considering re-election but also the president's agenda, implementation of that, something they wanted to highlight, focus on and elevate over the course of the months ahead. that's not changing at this point. officials believe at least based on what they know this will all end up showing they did the right thing, however, discombobulated it appeared though the special counsel will have something to say about it. >> any staff changes expected? >> reporter: that's one thing i've been told by several people it's not on the table. the president doesn't blame his team for what's happened. while it may have appeared publicly to be disjointed at times to be on their back foot at time, the president believes what his lawyers have done both

personal and in the white house counsel's office have been necessary from a legal perspective and i think that's by far the most important thing is one official said a couple days ago to me short-term pain might be necessary at this point. but as long as on the long term this ends up in a resolution that we want to see, this will all net out in a good place, anderson. >> all right, phil mattingly, appreciate it. the former president in a series of postings on his social network managed to misstate the facts of his case again suggests the fbi planted evidence and called fbi agents the gestapo. more than 300 classified documents have been recovered from mar-a-lago and in today's post the former president does not explicitly say he did not take any but certainly suggests he only took the empty folders they came in. quoting now, remember these were just ordinary inexpensive foalers with various words printed on them but they were a cool keepsake. perhaps the gestapo took some of these empty foalers when they raided mar-a-lago and counted them as a document which they are.

it's also possible that the trump hating marxist thugs in charge will plant documents while they're in possession of the material. he ends by saying, quote, i did nothing wrong. joe did. joining us chief correspondent cnn this morning co-anchor kaitlan collins and magazine day haberman, "the new york times" senior political correspondent, i know it's normal, i guess, at this point but it is just startling for me to hear a former president of the united states calling fbi agents gestapo and suggesting that they planted things against the former president. >> it's normal for him but certainly not normal. one of the things that was striking about that sentence is, a, it's straight out of the roy playbook. sliming people who he was against. making nazi references, it's also really strange to describe somebody as a that is si and marxist in one sentence but that's a whole other issue but what he's say something what i've been hearing around him or

talking to him the last couple of days trying to minimize his scandal and suggest joe biden's documents are the real problem. this is something minuscule. it's just not true. the sheer volume in terms of what trump had versus what we know so far that biden this is not at all the same and the big difference, anderson, is the obstructive nature of how donald trump handled that. that can't get lost here. >> kaitlan, that obstructive nature, there continues or fights between trump lawyers and those looking for documents. >> very much so. i mean, this post is coming in the context which is important as they are still in a dispute with the justice department, trump's legal team over whether or not they still have classified documents, whether everything has been turned over and have still gone back to one of his custodians and had him attest twice they turned everything over and suggest they don't believe they've turned everything over. it's interesting to me he's zeroing in on the empty foalers. there's 48 of them, i think, is what the fbi has said that they were found when they conducted that search of his property of

mar-a-lago. of course, that's among the hundreds of classified documents that were found. those were folders that were marked as classified but they were empty and they raised questions with a judge in recent months, you know, did there need to be an investigation to where that material went, was it lost? was it stolen? was there something in there they did not pick up because it wasn't in that folder and so it's interesting to me that he's zeroing in on the empty foalers when it's not really something he has talked about recently. it makes me question what is happening behind closed doors and what kinds of questions these prosecutors these investigators are asking about this. >> well, totally right. responding to something we're not seeing. >> what does that mean to you? >> it means there is some issue that the justice department has raised about these folders and they have zeroed in on them. look, we do know they are looking for repeated statements from his team in terms of not just the custodian of records but the justice department also wants and a judge said that this should be turned over. they want to be able to interview the people who did the more recent searches of his properties and found additional

stuff so that is part of what caught my eye too. >> the most obvious explanation of empty classified folders is that there were once classified documents in those folders. >> right. >> as opposed to he just really liked the writing on the folders themselves. >> i mean he may have liked the writing on the folders, you know, i'm sure there's some aspect of it that he found cool and okay, but there are protocols for how these foalers are supposed to be handled in the white house and i've never heard that, you know, people would were briefing him were like, sure, just go ahead and take this. what i do know people who would brief him would sometimes feel pressured by him when he want the to keep something and that it was difficult to say no to the president of the united states but i've never heard this thing about empty folders. >> kaitlan, the trump circle, are they still making the argument he had the imaginal ability to declassify all these. >> no, but one thing they are driving home and we'll see how this plays out, i'm still deeply skeptical, i'm sure maggie is and other cnn reporters, this they think this biden documents

investigation is going to greatly help them. that it is essentially -- >> it certainly has already. >> well, it helps them in the sense they're trying to muddy the waters and draw the distinction, the people who are drawing the distinction in terms of cooperation are wrong. legally, though, we don't actually know and the obstruction and what trump -- if there is obstruction what trump's mindset was here is what matters and i heard today on those two people who searched the properties i heard they still have not been interviewed seeking to do so. we'll see how that resolves itself. >> interesting that steve scalise either made a mistake or lied the other day when he said that the officials had leaked photographs of that photograph of the documents laid out on the floor. they weren't leaked out. they were part of court documents. >> because everything, first of all, we live in this moment in time now where everything is about, oh, a secret was disclosed. you're correct. it was part of the court filing. the doj has been very up front in its court filings and really

specific on a lot of points because the trump team had been putting out so much stuff. >> i think it was a mistake and i thought he would have corrected himself. thanks so much. up next the outrageousness of congressman george santos' many lies matched by the newest allegations. did santos steal thousands of dollars meant to save the life of a u.s. navy veteran's dog. what santos and that veteran are each telling cnn now. we're coming right back.

i screwed up. mhm. i got us t-mobile home internet. now cell phone users have priority over us. and your marriage survived that? you can almost feel the drag when people walk by with their phones. oh i can't hear you... you're froze-- ladies, please! you put it on airplane mode when you pass our house. i was trying to work. we're workin' it too. yeah! work it girl! woo! i want to hear you say it out loud. well, i could switch us to xfinity. those smiles. that's why i do what i do. that and the paycheck.

that string of lies that surround rookie congressman george santos may be even more widespread than we knew. the latest allegations are, well, pretty cruel. two u.s. military veterans say santos promised to raise money for lifesaving surgery for one of the veteran's dogs, that dog's owner served in the navy and struggled with homelessness. the other veteran helped to get them off the streets and claim a crowd funding campaign started by santos who they knew as anthony devolder raised about $3,000 in a gofundme page. yet they say not a penny went to help the dog. the dog's owner talked to erin burnett a short time ago. >> finally decided to take her

to the vet to see what they could do and they gave me a $3,000 quote. i was almost -- i didn't have any means to pay for that at all. so one of the vet techs in the place said, hey, i know this guy, he runs a charity and he saves a lot of animals. i even was dumb enough to give him my bank account and routing number because he said he was going to put the money right into my account. never happened. that was when i started smelling something fishy. to see somebody like that that could do something that dastardly could raise to such high position in -- that shouldn't be right. that shouldn't happen. >> shortly before that interview congressman santos responded to the newest claims telling cnn this morning anchor don lemon i have no clue what he's talking about and anybody who knows me knows i would do anything for a veteran. i have dozens of people reaching out to me in support sharing their stories about their dogs and cats that helped save and rescue.

jacq jacqueline sweet broke the story and joins us now. thanks for being with us. walk us through the basics of what this veteran alleges santos known as anthony devolder promised him and ultimately what happened to the $3,000 raised through the gofundme. >> thanks for having me. so this veteran told me that in 2016 at a period when he -- he was homeless, he was dealing with issues after being -- after leaving the navy, ptsd type of issues. he had a service dog that was extremely, extremely important to him. the dog developed a tumor that was life-threatening. he brought the dog to his normal vet practice and an employee there said, knew he was struggling with the financial burden of this surgery, said i know someone who can help you and that person connected the veteran to congressman santos who -- the veteran knew him as

anthony devolder and anthony devolder established a gofundme using the veteran's dog, using language about the veteran and how important the dog was him and through a combination of anthony devoller and his network through social media and the veteran and his friends and family they raised the money and two to three months i believe he told me and the veteran was so excited but then he started getting different kinds of confusing roadblocks, he says that anthony devolder said he could only use a certain veterinary and that veterinarian said we can't operate which is not what the original vet said and started feeling like things weren't adding up and eventually stopped answering his calls and the money was gone and that was it. >> do you know if this is the only alleged charity scam that santos is alleged to have been part of? >> we don't know a lot about

friends of pets united or the other group that congressman santos calls a charity. he even calls it a charity, a registered 501 charity and that was found and no one could find records of that once "the new york times" report broke and people started looking into it but we don't know a lot about the charity. we know there were -- there are many fund-raisers that he launched and were shared in different places. we don't know a lot about where the dogs came from, where the money went so i think there's a lot more to be uncovered about that animal charity. >> what was his reaction, the veteran's reaction when he saw santos suddenly in the national media as a sitting congressman? >> so i've talked to a lot of people who knew the congressman firsthand years ago and they all have their own very similar but different experiences. and many of them were just shocked to see him on their tv and national headlines and they

said, oh, my gosh, that is the person that like the veteran said he saw him on tv, thought it looked familiar but when the reports he went by anthony devolder surfaced that's when the veteran said, oh, my goodness, this is the person who took my dog's money all those years ago and he was shocked but also not shocked because in 2016 you can see on his facebook he posted to all his friends i'm sorry you guys supported me and donated money, i'm sorry to say that it was a fraud. >> congressman santos, did he give you a comment on any of your reporting? >> no, so i've done -- i've been covering a lot of stories and i've never gotten a response back except for one time and not on this story, so obviously we reached out for comment and the only comment that we've heard since was the one that you mentioned that he said he had no idea who this is which i assume he's referring to the veteran.

ukraine in mourning tonight after the deaths of what's believed to be the most senior level officials since the war began, a helicopter crash in the kyiv region killed the interior minister, first deputy and state secretary. others were killed on the ground when a crash near a kgb. at least 14 people died including all nine aboard as well as one child. 25 more were injured including a 11 children. no suggests from any ukrainian officials of russian involvement. president biden called it a heartbreaking tragedy and secretary of state blinken noted senior officials who he called colleagues were people the u.s. had worked with, quite, very, very closely. clarissa ward has details from kyiv. >> reporter: a quiet kyiv suburb turned into an inferno. sounds of screaming can be heard. minutes after a helicopter crashed outside an apartment building just steps away from a

kindergarten. on board, the leadership of ukraine's interior ministry including the minister himself, denis monastyrsky and his deputy, yevhen yenin. the chopper was bound for the city of kharkiv when it lost control smashing into the kindergarten as it descended. one child was killed. rescue services worked to clear the smoldering wreckage and search for survivors. neighbors looked out at the scene of horror. ala tells us she ran outside as soon as she heard the explosion. "we saw only injured children who were on fire, sorry," she says. "krerp crying and running out from the school." ukrainian security services have opened an investigation into the crash. for now there is no suggestion that foul play was involved. there was heavy fog in the morning. the president, volodymyr

zelenskyy, said every death is the result of war, even when it is far from the front lines. the wife of deputy minister yenin sobbed in shock as she took in the scene. another tragedy in a nation that has borne witness to so much horror. as daylight faded, emergency services declared the end of the search and rescue. and the bodies were taken away. >> what do we know point rescue and how many people are still in the hospital? >> reporter: so, according to president volodymyr zelenskyy, anderson, the rescue lasted nearly nine hours, which i think really gives you a sense of just how hard they were looking through this wreckage trying to make sure that nobody else was inside because 14 people were killed, one of them a child but there are also many people injured and they weren't initially sure how many people might be unaccounted for. we now know 25 people injured.

10 of them are in a special ward for burns tonight. four of those are children. so this was a really large rescue operation and you can definitely feel here, anderson, the toll that it's left with people. zelenskyy also announcing a new interim sort of acting minister of interior would take over from denis monastyrsky who was killed. that is the police chief who will be carrying out that role in the interim but certainly a lot of heavy hearts here in kyiv and around ukraine tonight, anderson. >> yeah, i mean the interior minister, a number of senior ukrainian official, that's got to impact the war effort, i mean, certainly the security situation. >> reporter: there's no question that minister monastyrsky was a key part of the war effort, just met with president zelenskyy in recent days. he was often traveling to hot spots and front lines. and so it's a blow on many

levels. it's a employee in terms of morale. it's a blow in terms of logistics and the importance of his role, and what he was doing with his deputies, and i think also above that, there's just this sense of this sort of futile tragedy of it that on top of everything that ukraine has already gone through to have something like this happen, at this time when there's such a feeling already that it is a very grim winter and a very tough time in this war and this is really just hit people very hard. >> yeah, clarissa ward, thank you. coming up tonight updates on two major cases we're following, the search warrant released in the graduate student charged with killing four college students in idaho. we'll tell you what they found at his apartment. mrs. the former republican candidate in new mexico charged with orchestrating a series of shootings at the hopes of democratic officials. he appeared in court today. he'll have his history and his arrest affidavit next.

mayor developments the in two high profile cases we're following. today the man charged with orchestrating the political shooting of four state and local democratic officials' homes in mexico appeared in court for the first time. we'll have that story in a moment. first, there's more information about the 28-year-old charged with the murders of four university of idaho students. the home and office of bryan kohberger. veronica noble join us us with what officials say they found. what have you learned about the evidence collected? >> well, anderson, police cast a very wide net in terms of what they were looking for, and they found more than a dozen items that appear to be very significant in this case inside of bryan kohberger's apartment, starting with strands of hair. they found multiple strands of hair, including a possible animal hair. we know this is important because according to that

affidavit, kaylee goncalves' dog was home at the time of the murders. they were also looking for blood and bodily fluids. they were able to collect a dark red spot and two reddish brown stains from a pillow and two mattress covers with multiple stains. another item they're looking for is clothing. that surviving roommate who was at home during the time of the attacks, according to the affidavit, saw the suspect walk past her in dark clothing from head to toe, as well as a mask that covered the nose and face. while police didn't find clothing that they removed from the apartment, they did find a walmart receipt with a tag, as well as two marshall's receipts and one nitrite-type black glove, a medical glove. what they did not find inside the apartment was a murder weapon. that still has not been recovered. >> we know from the warrant, investigators were interested in his internet searches. what were they hoping to find? >> reporter: they wanted to see if bryan kohberger had done any kind of searching around the victims, the house, the

neighborhood, or anything around possibly how to murder someone, how to assault, how to cut somebody. they also wanted to know if he looked into data around how to go undetected around committing a crime. they were able to extract a fire tv stick and cord as well as a computer tower, but what kind of data was on those devices, that was not revealed. anderson? >> appreciate it. thanks. now to the other development, the first court appearance for solomon pena, accused of orchestrating shootings at the homes of four elected officials. josh campbell has details on that. >> reporter: solomon pena, wearing a red jump suit, shackled at his wrists and ankles, appearing in front of a judge for the first time since his arrest. >> mr. pena, you're attorney will be at the podium behind you. >> reporter: he gave a thumbs up to the judge in response to a question. the court moved the case will move to the district court. the 2020 election denier and

former republican candidate for the new mexico state house is accused of conspiring with and paying four other men to shoot at the homes of four other democratic state leaders. >> there's a lot of evidence there. we have the electronic communications. we have a significant amount of evidence, and we're confident in our case moving forward. >> reporter: pena provided, quote, firearms and cash payments and personally participated in at least one shooting. additionally, the arrest warrant included images from the phone of one of the coconspirators, photos that were spent to pena. those photos showed one of the suspected shooters who when arrested had had a gun that police say was used in one of the shootings. pena's intent went beyond political intimidation. >> he was becoming more aggressive in his manner, and he was starting to ask them to do activities which clearly put lives in danger. i think it may have started in one place, but i think it quickly ended up in another

place. and it was -- >> reporter: days after his arrest, more details about pena's criminal past and extremism are emerging. he served roughly seven years in prison for burglary and larceny. last year after getting crushed by almost 50 percentage points in his bid for his seat in the house, he accused his opponent of rigging the election. his allegiance to former president donald trump was absolute. evidence of pena's devotion to trump are prominent. video appears to show him at three rallies in washington, d.c. and cnn's cameras captured what appears to be pena at a trump rally in phoenix last summer. he would later post a tweet of himself attending. in another post, sporting a red maga hoodie, pena wrote he stands with trump and never conceded his race in mexico. the same type of conspiracy theory that law enforcement has warned could lead to violence. >> i don't care whether it's a republican or a democrat elected

leader, violence against elected leaders will not be tolerated. >> cnn's josh campbell joins us now. what is the status of the prosecution of the cospontaneous spear investors. >> reporter: we learned today one has already been charged on drug and weapons violations. police say they're continuing to pore over evidence. they're trying to determine whether they knew the identities of the officials or whether they were merely hired guns. they'll be working with state and federal prosecutors to explore charges against the entire group. >> appreciate it. want to give you a quick update on a story on a san francisco antique store owner who sprayed a homeless woman with a water hose. he is charged with misdemeanor battery for the spraying of the woman on and around the woman

camped outside his store. after the incident last week, he told kgo that he was not remorseful as spraying the homeless woman with the garden hose. up next, a "360 special report: what happened to ana." also the defense strategy with ana walshe still missing, the fate of the couple's young children, and more. finding military information, newspaper articles, how many people were living in the house and where i it wa, makes me curious and keeps pulling me in and the photos reminding me of what life must have been like for them. finding out new bits of information about the family has been a wonderful experience, it's an important part of understanding who we are.
