i got other things to do. >> larry: the great shakira, grammy winner. she makes the front page of "the rolling stone" and "the economist." maybe the only time ever that ever happened. shakira is also a goodwill ambassador for unicef. thank you. time for anderson cooper and "ac 360." good evening from new york. i'm erica hill sitting in tonight for anderson cooper. upclose, tiger woods, hurt in a car crash, but back home tonight. we're learning more about what happened very early this morning. why the news sent shock waves too, far beyond the sports world. we have live coverage from his hometown in florida including details from the local police chief and a closer look at woods himself. the sports legend, the star personality, and of course the marketing mega brand. also, major new developments in the white house party crashing saga. photo proof tonight that the couple managed to score face time with president obama and the secret service today admitting it dropped the ball. we're "keeping them honest."

later, the priest had a secret, a son. you'll see what the church did to keep it hidden and why this young man's mother is still demanding answers. but first up tonight, the security breech now even more clear. michaele ander the rec salahi face-to-face with the president of the united states. india's prime minister in the background. it all happened tuesday night at president obama's first state dinner. the worst security breech in white house memory. also new tonight, a statement from the secret service taking full blame noting -- established protocols were not followed and that failing is hours. >> a couple of party crashers at the white house. publicity seekers seemingly harmless but they could have been anyone. in a moment, the man who has known mrs. salahi for 15 years and spent hours with her preparing for that state din on tuesday. but first, the very latest from tom foreman.

>> reporter: the stunning image of the salahis meeting president obama after slipping into the white house state dinner only reinforces the seriousness of the questions surrounding them. the secret service director now admits they should have been prohibited from entering the event entirely. that failing is ours. >> mr. and mrs. salahi. >> reporter: how the couple made it so far is under investigation, and more clues are emerging about the run-up. at a d.c. hair salon, witnesses say michaele salahi showed up for the last-minute appointment, excited her invitation. i asked her if she had it with her, and she said yes. i asked to see the invitation, but he is couldn't find it. she didn't have it. she thought it was in the car or something. >> reporter: the cable network bravo says they were being considered for a new reality show and a tv crew was following them. nbc anchorman brian williams, another guest at the dinner, says he saw their car turned away by security.

but then the salahis hopped out with a cameraman and makeup person and walked to the entrance. and keeping them honest, the real question is what happened there? this is where witnesses say guests were checked off of a list. they were checked out by the secret service and walked through metal detectors. then it was on up here to the east entrance. this is apparently where mikhale posed with the photo with the marines. that he is later posted on facebook. then on down this hall and into the white house proper and into the introduction point where that video was shot that we've seen so much of. sometime around this point, all indications are with white house staff and security people all around the couple joined the to to actually meet the president. and then after that is when they would have gone back outside here to meet many other white house dignitaries including vice president joe biden. secret service agents visited

the salahis winery south of washington telling the staff, according to a manager, "if they do not sit down with us and talk, we will take whatever action is necessary." faced with criminal charges, the salahis are not talking publicly, although their publicist insist they did not crash the party and are eager to explain the events around this extraordinary and for the white house unwelcomed picture. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> digging deeper now into just how this happened and what could happen to the couple. we are joined by silas irwin gomez. you saw his salon in the report. also us with, former white house homeland security adviser francis townsend, and cnn legal analyst lisa bloom. good to have all of you with us. fran, i want to start with you. now we have the picture proof of them face-to-face with president obama. so there is no question to how far the unchecked access got them. really to the highest level. how does this happen? and what should happen now to

both the salahis and the secret service folks on duty that night? >> sure. you know, erica, what happens is once you come to that initial point that tom foreman mentions, that perimeter point where you go through a magnetometer, once you're through there, nobody really checks you again. the presumption if you got inside the perimeter, inside the white house grounds, you've been cleared. so no one would have checked them again. and so they would have come into the white house. they would have gone up stairs. they would have gone to somebody at a social secretary's desk to get a card before you go in for your photograph with the president. oftentimes there is an administrative slipup. there won't be one. someone will write it out for you. the only purpose is to put the picture and name together and make sure you're introduced to the president. what happens to them now? well, i'll tell you if they lied to get their way in, that is if they made a statement to someone at the gate, secret service agent, and said that they were there because they were invited, that's a lie. it would be a lie to a federal

official and that's a felony. so in addition to a publicist, i hope they have a good lawyer. >> apparently they have a lawyer speaking out. lisa, as an attorney, looking at this, should they be facing federal charges for this? >> well, they certainly could be. federal charges not only for lying to federal authorities. if they did lie, it looks like they gave their own name, for example when they walked in. also for trespassing. although they went past the checkpoints. they didn't scale a wall. i think it's important to keep in mind what the actual facts are here. yes, they could have grabbed a knife. they could have broken a glass and committed an act of violence. they didn't do any of. that. they were friendly. they posed for pictures. and a lot of deals with what is. not what could have been. these are people that walked in, crashed a party and then left. in my view, this is not rise to the level of a federal crime. i think we have more important to worry about, certainly the secret service needs to do a review. but what these people did, in my view, no harm, no foul. >> this isn't a really big deal you to? somebody could have picked up a

knife. they could have brought in anthrax. they were face-to-face with the president. the prime minister of india was right behind them. that's a pretty serious security breech, lisa. >> yes, that's what could have happened. but that's not what actually did happen. what actually did happen was they walked in. they pretended like they belong there. they looked nice. they smiled for pictures and then left. i mean they didn't even steal any china as far as i know. now next week they're dragging the story out. they want the story to have legs. next week we're going to hear their side of the story, whether they were invited or not. whether there are other allegations. but so far, based on the facts we have so far, to me this does not seem like a major crime. >> fran, though, what kind of message does that send about security, not only to the american people but also to the indian government, for example? >> no, that's absolutely right. i know that the secret service has begun their own -- not only internal inquiry of the facts of what happened, but they've also referred the matter to the office of professional responsibility. at best, the uniform division secret service agents who let them on to the property will be disciplined. and at worst, they could be fired. i will tell you, it is a very serious security breech.

because after all, bad people will watch this and watch how they did it and learn. and they may test the secret service and other circumstances if not at the white house as a result of this. and so it is a very, very serious case. >> we're going to continue to talk more about it. we want to learn a little bit more about the people at the center of this controversy. as we mentioned, irwin gomez with us. we'll speak with him in just a moment. you can join the live chat at ac360.com. i'll be logging on during the break. when we return, more on that couple as we mentioned, who may end up chasing publicity into prison. and also the man who tries to avoid publicity. despite being perhaps the best known and the richest athlete in the world. tiger woods' car crash. very early this morning. what we do and what we still don't know about it. that's tonight on "360." the sign then drive event, you can get a cc, jetta, or top safety-rated tiguan for practically just your signature. it's that easy. i can't believe it.

continuing our look now at

tuesday assets state dinner for india's prime minister. that tareq and michaele salahi made it all right to the receiving line. no i they never involve should have gotten past the front gate. the secret service tonight is taking the blame there, but is still much to discuss. joining us irwin gomez who got mrs. salahi ready for her big and and cnn legal analyst lisa bloom. irwin, i want to talk to you. you have such a history with mrs. salahi. you've known her for 15 years. and you know what pride she takes in her appearance. did you her makeup for their wedding. yet, she didn't call you until monday frantically trying to get an appointment for a white house state dinner. did that strike you as odd she wouldn't have planned out a little bit more? >> i find that really odd. because if i got invited to the white house, i would be -- i know i would have gotten the invitation right away. and i would have planned my hair and makeup if i was a girl.

but i would definitely get it planned out. >> and you spent several hours -- she was in the salon for seven hours that day. obviously there was some discussion. i know one of your hairstylists asked her to see the invitation. she didn't have it. was there ever a point when you questioned whether or not she was invited to this event? >> i did ask her. i mean, how did you get invited? and she was just more in awe of what i was going to wear and how i was going to make her look. and she knows i'm very familiar with the indian culture. and she kept asking me if you think the costume should be perfect for the event. and i said, of course. i mean that is a good respect for the prime minister. and, of course, we made her look beautiful. as you can see, she stands out so beautiful. >> she did look great. but nothing really stood out and said maybe not. as we look at this picture of the salahis, fran, and the president.

go over the procedure. you talked a little bit about once you get to the white house. but before that point, the security checks, the background checks that go on, once you are invited to a white house event take place far in advance of any event, right? >> that's right. you're typically asked for your name, social security number, your date of birth, all those three have to match together when they run you into their system. it goes into a computer system. so that when you approach the gate, you produce your picture id. and they check it against the information they have. if those match, you then go through the magnetometers. if they don't match, you're referred to somebody from the social secretary's office. the secret service, i want to point out, has said they didn't refer this to the social secretary. clearly the breech, the failure was on the part of secret service. and the secret service now has gotten very clear that this was their problem. clearly they let them come in without having their data inside the computer system just based on their word that they were invited. now to be fair to the secret

service, let's -- remember, they show up. there is a camera crew and makeup artists. they look like somebody important. after all, they figure if they turn them away in the rain and tuxedo and finery, this is all going to be filmed and they're going to get in trouble. >> fran, shouldn't there be some sort of an alert to the secret service, white house grounds staff that somebody will be arriving with a camera crew. you can't just show up on the white house lawn with your own can you? >> no, that's exactly right. there would have been. you notice brian williams and katie you aric were there that night. they didn't show up with their camera crew. and, so, no. it should have sent off all sorts of flags. and i will tell you, i expect that the uniformed division secret service folks are going to be in lots of trouble. >> still plenty of discussion. lisa, looking at this from another angle, there is so much talks about everybody wanting their 15 minutes of fame. this is just another way, and it could perhaps set off some ideas of other people of hey, this is a way for me to be a reality tv star? >> sure. you mean like the balloon boy gang, for example? >> perhaps.

>> others have already thought of this, right? doing some kind of crazy hoax and getting their name in the news and here we are going along it with showing her over and over again. i think if you're a tall, thin, dazzling blonde and look the part and walk in, can you get into a lot of places. she even got into the white house. this may help her on the reality show. i understand she is auditioning for it. i think it is irwin's fault for making her look so good. maybe he is just dazzled those agents. they couldn't see anything but how great she looked and they waved her right in. >> irwin, is there something about this couple, mikale specifically, that, a, she has a connection in the white house orb one of the government's representative that would get her in, and b, that if not, she would try to pull off a stunt like this? >> that's really the first really good question. i know michaele that he is always knows a lot of people in the washington, d.c. area. and she's always hanging out with the biggest socialites and events. and they also mention that they

got invited because they're getting involved with the indian polo that they charity and that they're very well known of. but it really striked me so odd. when find out this news, i myself, as a makeup artist, i was there at the first -- with the first family in inauguration. i know how tight security is. and i was even afraid i was not going to get in, that's how tight they were. this just blows my mind. but i know -- i don't know if she knows a lot, but she knows a lot of people. that's all i can tell you. >> as we've been told, they enjoy the limelight. lisa, as you mentioned, we're giving them a little bit more of it, aren't we? but still, lots of it. there are important questions behind it. lisa bloom, fran townsend, irwin gomez, appreciate your time all of you this evening. >> thank you so much. and there is actually much more to cover on this friday night including late new details about that car crash that sent

tiger woods to the hospital. his condition at the scene and his reported rescue by his wife with the help of a golf club. and a bit later, what is happening in dubai? one of the wealthiest places on the planet sending waves of terror today through wall street. could your 401(k) be riding on it? when "360" continues. maybe this is one of the most important. introducing new centrum ultra men's. a complete multivitamin for men. it has antioxidants and vitamin d... to support your prostate and colon. new centrum ultra men's.

the headlines tough to ignore. snippets came in on the wires today. first, we hear tiger woods is involved in a car accident. then he has been seriously injured. thankfully the news that followed was better. the golf superstar was treated and released from a hospital near his orlando area home. but the details of this early morning crash are far from clear. perhaps not a surprise considering the man involved is known for doing all he can to maintain privacy.

gary tuchman is on the scene in windermere, florida where he is gathering the latest for us. he joins us now. hi, gary. >> reporter: erica, hello. tiger woods, most famous golfer in the world. one of the most famous people in the world. here's what we know about what happened with him. gated community here in windermere, florida. one car accident. hit a fire hydrant. hit a tree. was said to be semiconscious or unconscious for a number of minutes. his wife came, bashed in the back window with a golf club to rescue him. brought to the hospital. and the hospital now says it was minor injuries. so what the heck is happening here? with us right now, the police chief. this is daniel sailor. chief, thanks for talking with us. >> you got it. >> reporter: this sounds like a really unusual case. i know this was unincorporated orange county. it's not your territory. but you responded to it through accident. >> correct. >> reporter: how often do you have one car accidents and somebody bashing in a window to in a subdivision that is gated? >> not very often. we responded to mutual aid once

the 911 was made. >> reporter: was this a common citizens, did you do a dwi test? >> no, because it's not our investigation. it's highway patrol's investigation. we respond as mutual aid to orange county. being the first to the scene, we rendered first aid to tiger woods. basically secured him until fhp and orange county got there and it's their investigation. so they're the lead agency. >> reporter: so if it was a common citizen, one in a one car accident wouldn't treat him with a dwi test even within your city limits? >> no. he was on the ground, semiunconscious and had lacerations to the upper and lower lip so our first response is to render first aid. >> reporter: we don't know what happened. the hospital said the minor injury. the injuries were just seen on his mouth. why do you think he was semiconscious or unconscious? he was unconscious, had blood coming out of his mouth. it did not look life threat engine.

>> reporter: the car was drivable. why did she bash the window in? >> the doors were locked and she could not gain entry. he is used the golf club to smash a window out to gain entry. >> reporter: did she have a golf club with her at the time? >> i don't know where it came from. she could have gotten the keys and opened the door. >> that sounds like what you would do. >> reporter: does this sound a little unusual and suspicious? this case? >> it sounds unusual. but like i say, we're not the investigative agency. we were first responders to help him out. we don't know it was tiger woods. we knew there was a male down. >> reporter: final question did his wife make a statement to you? >> no, the only statement she made was she was upset and broke the window and took him out of the vehicle and laid him down on the street. >> reporter: chief, thank you very much for talking with us. i appreciate it. >> yes, sir. >> reporter: tiger woods is scheduled to play this week coming up in the chevron world challenge. that's a golf tournament thousand oaks, california. he won it four times before. it's a very important tournament for him. money for it goes to his foundation. not clear yet if he'll play it in. erica, back to you. >> gary, good details from you tonight. thanks for trying to press the officer there for some more

information. no reflection, of course, on phil mickelson on kenny perry or any of the top ranked golfers in the world. they compete, of course with, tiger woods. but when they are all off the course, frankly, no one is in his league. tiger woods is a billion dollar business. in fact, he's a one word brand name tiger or tiger, inc. if you will. joe johns now with an up close look. >> reporter: whether you like professional golf or not -- in some ways, we're all at least followers of the career of tiger woods. we watch him, some obsessively. not only because of his continued world dominance of his sport but because he is probably the best known athlete from any sport in the world. >> this is tiger woods. everything he does is upheld the outmost scrutiny worldwide. he is a golfing icon. but he transcends the sport. there's no doubt about it. >> reporter: though he is still a few wins away from the consensus claim of greatest pro golfer ever -- >> he sneaks it in. tiger woods. >> reporter: he is currently the highest paid. $110 million in winnings last

year. and unprecedented $1 billion in his career. including endorsements, appearances, business relationships with companies like nike. he gets an estimated $20 million a year just from nike for adding his brand to their line of golf equipment. he got $10 million apiece for three golf courses. he's helped develop in dubai. north carolina, and mexico. he's also attached his name to gatorade and gillette, american express because they want to be associated with what he's best known for. >> wins everything. he keeps winning. he's a winning machine. and he settles for nothing but the best. >> reporter: he has single-handedly rebranded and expanded the game, bringing in countless fans who probably would never have picked up a golf club if they hadn't seen tiger do what he does. his personal story is compelling. he married a swedish model, they have two beautiful children. he's a mix race kid, son of a

mother from thailand, his late father, an elite american green beret soldier. said to have nicknamed tiger after a man who saved his life in vietnam. and beyond all this, there is the charity, the giving back that makes him so popular. the chevron world challenge golf tournament in thousand oaks, california, just days away, is a benefit for his tiger woods foundation and other charities. attention will be paid to tiger's appearance or nonappearance at that event. which just goes to show how watching tiger and what he does on and off the golf course is now an international pastime. joe johns, cnn, new york. ahead, some insight on just what makes tiger tick from one of the top sports writers in the country. plus, black friday and the store where things got so out of hand customers were sent home. plus, a late update to our investigation of the priest, the son he fathered, and a mother's quest for justice. no.

you didn't hear from me, but this malibu is a best buy. i heard that from consumers digest. it offers better highway mileage than a comparable camry or accord. estimated 33 highway. i saw that on the epa site. so how come the malibu costs so little. it's a chevy. you have cop hair. the award-winning chevy malibu. compare it to anyone and may the best car win.

you just saw gary tuchman's interview with the windermere police chief who seemed to have a lot to say about really how little we know about what happened early this morning. state police, as he mentioned, are investigating. there are 911 tapes. no doubt we will be learning more in the days ahead. but the fact is here few celebrities have a tighter grip on their image and on their private life than tiger woods. i spoke about that and a bit more earlier to night with christine brennan of usa today. we have learned, christine, that his wife actually apparently was

up, though. she heard the crash inside the house. came outside, used a golf club, somewhat ironically, to help get him out of the vehicle, break a window. do we know what was happening with them beforehand? had she been up or just heard the crash and it woke her up? >> erica, we don't know. i think that's the one things that surprising, several surprising aspects to this story, of course, on a slow "newsday." one of the things is tiger woods is controlling of his image as anyone on the planet. not just athlete, anyone in our culture. i mean this guy guards his image, his website, everything about him, it has been controlled from the get-go. from when he said hello world as a young new pro which is part of the nike campaign in the mid 1990s. this is so uncharacteristic to have this kind of thing for a guy who never colors outside the lines. i think that's the part. i think tiger will be giving us answers, erica, simply because he's going to have to because he is such a powerful and important person, not only in sports but in our culture. >> you mentioned how intensely

private he is, christine. when do you think those answers will come? we know he has an appearance scheduled tuesday. before then? >> tiger and his people, his camp will clearly make that decision. if they don't want it talk before then, they won't talk before then. but i think that it's because he's so public and because he has sought that out. because he's making the millions of dollars in endorsements. he is very much someone who has wanted the public's money and interest and has thrived on. i think because it's so strange, because of the questions you're asking and all day and the things we're talking about, it begs the question that tiger might want to have an answer or his people will be giving us more information. i would hope in the next 24 hours. >> a lot of people hoping for those answers. what about within the sports community? what is the reaction today? >> of course, it's a quiet day. and so it's been the lead story in sports. there's a lot of college football games, as you know. so that -- to steal the spotlight from college football isn't easy. tiger woods has. and it's, you know, it's because it's so unusual.

because we don't hear about this with tiger woods. because tiger woods, what's he doing at 2:30 in the morning? he'll answer that question. i'm sure we'll get the answer to that. and we'll get a lot of answers. because people will want to know. we in the sports community, sports journalism community will want to as the questions as well. i think it's more shock, surprise, obviously people are relieved that he's not injured more seriously. that's number one on the list. and now the question, what were you doing? what's going on? why did your wife have the golf club and now she's breaking down the window in the back. a lot of questions. i know that tiger woods and his people will give us answers we will demand those answers, fans of his, his endorsers and the people who pay millions will want to know the answers. >> again that, is christine brennan of usa today joining me earlier tonight. still ahead, new information about the priest who fathered a child more than 20 years ago. first though, tom foreman joining us again this time with a "360 news and business bulletin." wall street took a tumble today over worries about a $60

billion debt crisis facing dubai. the dow dove wasn't 5 -- 154 points. the u.s. stepped up pressure today on iran warning tehran of new economic sanctions. the warning follows demands by the international atomic agency demanding iran stop construction of its recently revealed nuclear plant and end its uranium enrichment program. the number of americans with diabetes is expected to nearly double over the next 25 years to about 44 million with the disease. that's according to a new study at the university of chicago. the researchers say the cost of treating diabetes will triple to $336 billion. and a walmart store in southern california ejected all of its customers for about three hours early this morning when shoppers started fighting over bargain merchandise. walmart changed the procedures for black friday crowd control

after a guard was trampled to death at a new york store last year. erica? >> amazing that people are fighting over that stuff. and it happens around 3:00 in the morning. you to think the tryptophan would kick in from the turkey. everybody relax. tom, thanks. coming up monday on "360," women breaking battles on the battlefield. gi janes play crucial roles. in iraq and afghanistan. and the number of women commanding units has also risen. there are also more high ranking women in the armed forces. but they're pioneering work comes at a heavy price. we'll take a closer look monday on "360." up next, tonight on the program, a follow on a secret revealed. the son of a catholic priest. the church paid child support to his mother but only if she kept the affair secret. she is now speaking out as our church officials. also tonight for the first time, we hear what went on inside the cockpit of that flight for the pilots overshot their destination by more than 100 miles, prompting a security scare.

>> do you have time to give a brief explanation on what happened? >> just cockpit distractions. that's all i can say. i learned out i had high cholesterol. but i didn't know that it may have led to my erectile dysfunction. that's why my doctor told me about levitra. (announcer) certain medical conditions, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol, can decrease blood flow, which may lead to ed. that was news to me my doctor told me levitra could help.

for many, this is the time of year when loved ones gather close. the holidays were anything but joyful for the woman you're to be meet. in fact, she has a heartbreaking story of faith, family, and the extreme lengths taken by the catholic church and its officials to keep a priest's secret.

as you'll see in this 360 follow, that secret is that priest has a son. the child's mother says church officials agreed to pay child support if she kept quiet. but when her son became ill, she claims the church largely band ond them. here again is gary tuchman. >> reporter: this photo doesn't nearly tell the whole story. this priest not only baptized this baby, but he is also the baby's father. and that fact will be kept secret for 22 years. it was a secret forged in a legal agreement between the church officials and the mother. her name is pat bond. they told you if you sign this you could never talk about it? >> yes. >> reporter: in the agreement, henry willanborg, a franciscan priest, declared he was the baby's father. and they would quietly pay financial support for her son. confidential? >> correct. >> reporter: secret? >> oh, yes. >> reporter: pat says at the time she was very vulnerable. she left her husband for the priest. was under psychological care and considered suicide.

she was intimidated by church negotiators and she had poor legal advice. but she saw no other way to support her son. his father, the priest, had no intention of leaving the priesthood, even though she says they continued their relationship. patricia bond was a very devoted catholic. she loved her church. and as it turns out, she loved her priest. this is the church in quincey, illinois, where her son nathan baptized by father willenborg. across the street this green house. this is where she used to live. she says he was celebrate mass during the day and then often come here and sleep with her during the night. the secret relationship would end after five years. nathan was a toddler. pat worried about how to care for him. she felt the church agreement she signed wasn't enough. but she kept her silence. her son nathan grew up, smart, athletic, popular. but three years ago he was diagnosed with brain cancer. what's the prognosis now? >> i'm losing my son. >> reporter: doctors say nathan

may only have weeks to live. the church paid for some medical care. but pat had to fly him to new york this summer for late stage cancer treatment. they had to stay for weeks. >> and i begged and i am saying that i begged the church, please send us help. >> reporter: the francis scans gave her $1,000, but it wiz only a tiny fraction of the cost. pat says she pleaded for more saying church officials had a moral obligation. and what did the church say? they said, no, we're not nathan's biological father. we have no legal obligation to your son. >> reporter: franciscan provincial minister father william expense worry not go on camera. but in a letter to cnn, he says our payments exceeded legal requirements. he also writes. -- >> in total, they tell cnn pat bond received about $233,000 over the last 22 years. but doing the math, that averages less than $11,000 a

year. the franciscans insistence that they've been generous over the years with pat bond seems to miss the larger point. that is why was such an agreement signed in the first place? in the catholic religion, priests are not allowed to have children. so why didn't the priests say to father willenborg, you had a child. you can no longer be a priest. take care of your child. take care of the woman you had the child with. and why pray tell this agreement confidential? we wanted to ask these questions to the man who made that decision who is lead negotiator 22 years ago. pat bond says she didn't know what became of him. but she remembers his name. >> father bob kerrest. >> we found him in new york state where he's a renowned scholar. >> up next on "360," part two of gary tuchman's report. what gary discovered when he met with the man who negotiated that secret agreement between the church and the mother of the child. later, what was going on in the cockpit when two northwest airlines pilots overshot the

minneapolis airplane last month? we have the faa tape recordings ahead.

before the break, we told you about how officials in the catholic church paid a woman child support but only if she agreed to keep the affair she had with a priest a secret. the mother says the church officials have betrayed their promise to help them. they say they did not. we'll have more on that in a moment, but first gary tuchman continues with his report beginning with the search for the priest with the secret. >> reporter: father robert carest is the priest who represented the franciscans 22 years ago when they offered pat bond a legal agreement. in exchange for her silence, they would pay to support the boy she had with henry

willenborg. instead of severely punishing him, instead they sent him to a treatment center, and was ultimately let back into the church community. as for his son? >> we're doing and committed to do what is best for nathan, the son of our brother. >> reporter: do you think you should have said to father henry, we don't really want new you in the church anymore. you've had a child. get a job. take care of this woman and take care of your child. that's the best thing for nathan. not the church send him money instead of you taking care of him. don't you think that would have been the right thing to do? >> well, there are broken families. there are families -- >> reporter: but the church is in the business of being ethical and humane. wouldn't that have been the best thing for nathan? having father henry take care of his son? >> it would have been the best thing. but that's not the reality. >> reporter: barbara blaine, it founded a group called snap. it helps women who have had sexual relationships with

priests. she says it's the same pattern. victims are vulnerable because they offer unconditional trust. >> the church here is trying to protect themselves. and we believe that keeping secrets is what has enabled the abuse to go on for so long. >> reporter: you had discussions with your colleagues protecting the church was part of the reason you wanted to have this confidential agreement, right? >> that is part of the reason, yes. >> reporter: but he also says protecting pat bond and nathan was another part. was the church concerned about your son? >> oh, no. no. never, ever. not now, not then, not ever. no. they were concerned about getting us out of their life. and i guarantee you the day my son goes the church will rejoice because he's -- >> reporter: because he's what? >> because he's gone. >> reporter: but nathan is still fighting and has a remarkable attitude. >> if i just live my life as

happy as i can during this time, i can just have all the fun i have before that horrible stuff happens. >> reporter: he hasn't seen his dad for many years. so where is father henry? for the last four years, he'd been the priest in this ashland, wisconsin church, where he was extremely popular. his boss, this man, a bishop. >> the innocent one in this is nathan. >> reporter: but he has not punished father willenborg for fathering nathan. however, he did take action against him for another reason. only last month the bishop suspended father henry because of new allegations that when he was having an affair with pat bond, he was also having relations with another woman while she was under 18. because of the allegations that he had an affair with a minor, you decided you needed to suspend him? >> right. >> reporter: and was there any other reason you suspended him? >> no. that would be it. >> reporter: the bishop says father henry denies an improper relationship with that woman when he was a minor. he is no longer at the church and no one seems to be able to

tell us where he is. we went to the franciscan offices in st. louis where he used to live. is father willenberg here? >> as far as i know, no. i have not seen him at all. >> reporter: we had his cell phone number. and he did answer. the reason i'm calling you is we're doing a story about -- he hung up on me. "the new york times" did get a comment from him. will enborg telling the paper, we've been very caring, very supportive, very generous over these 20-something years. it's very tragic what is going on with nathan. after father willenberg hung up on me, i called back again. i got his voice mail and left my phone number. i also left my phone number with one of his assistants inside the church. but he has chosen to remain silent with me. silence from henry will enborg, painfully familiar to his son. how do you feel about him right now? >> it's hard. he's never really been around. he's popped up here and there throughout my life. but i've never -- never gotten

the full respect and love out of him that i always wanted. >> reporter: and now this painful discussion, what happens when nathan dies, how to pay for his funeral. >> the question is having enough staff at the visitation necessary. >> reporter: but after we interviewed her, lawyers for the franciscans wrote this, it says -- >> reporter: she hopes it means the franciscans will pay for a part time nurse at home with nathan. because recently pat learned he is may not be able to take care of everything herself. >> in june i was diagnosed with cars carcinoid cancer. >> reporter: but for now she must focus on her son. they decided he will die at home. we originally aired this story two weeks ago. and tonight we have a very sad and disturbing development.

last night, thanks giving evening, nathan slipped into a coma. and 90 minutes ago his mother pat called me and said nathan passed away in his bed. he would have been 23 years old next month. erica? >> gary, it's heartbreaking. i understand, too, when the time since we originally aired this story that you've been contacted by the franciscans. what's the latest on that? >> reporter: right. a lawyer for the franciscans sent us a letter saying there were corrections and retractions that they requested that we make. i took a careful look at our work. my bosses, our bosses, eric erica took a careful look at our work. our cnn attorneys took a careful look at our work and we all deemed there are no corrections warranted. nevertheless, to be transparent, we wanted to address their main concern that was in the very beginning of their letter. they said they agreed to pay funeral costs and had nothing to do with cnn or any reporting. but they agreed to pay those funeral cost before our story aired. nevertheless, their quote was, "we sent a check to the cemetery on friday, october 30th."

but we need to tell you that on thursday, october 29th, the day before, that's the day we called the franciscans, wanted to interview reverend william spencer. who is their boss in st. louis. we were told he would not talk us to. made it clear we were doing the story. that is also the day we interviewed pat bond on october 29th. so all those things happened the day before. in addition, a couple of weeks before that, "the new york times" did their original reporting on this story. their fine reporter lori goodstein reports. there is lots of things that were he n. motion before they sent that check covering the funeral costs for nathan. so we should tell that you this letter they sent us was full of all kind of legalisms, but it backs up the point of our original reporting. there is not a lot of moral responsibility by people who are in the business of morality and ethics. that has not happened very much over the 22 years of nathan's life. he passed away with his mother next to him in his bed. his father, priest, we still don't know where he is. erica? >> so tough.

so the only upside was he was able to pass at home with his mother as both of them intended and as they wanted. gary, thanks. our condolences, of course, go out to the family tonight. the president of the catholic league and the president of s.n.a.p., faced off over this controversy with us recently. you can see their interview on ac360.com. just ahead at the top of the hour, photo proof that white house party crashers met face-to-face with president obama and the secret service is taking the blame. it's ahead. there's a big reason to lower high cholesterol...
