"anderson cooper 360" starts "anderson cooper 360" starts right nout. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com we begin tonight with breaking news on the secret service prostitution scandal. we've now got a face to go with this. this is the columbian prostitute at the center of it all. she's the one who confronted a secret service agent for a fee after a night of sex. that price has landed members in trouble. a 12th military member is under investigation. he was part of a group that provides the white house with information when the president travels. six members have been forced out of the agency. more departures could be on the way. all starting in cartagena, colombia. that's where we find drew griffin now. we're now seeing this woman. you've been down there all weekend. what have you learned? what's the latest?

>> reporter: this woman, her name is donia suarez. single mother of a young son. the young son goes to school. she herself goes to english-speaking class. we went to the apartment where she lives. it's down a dirt alley, a middle class neighborhood, a gated community. her neighbors were -- quite frankly they were stunned that this was the woman involved with this scandal. they called her a model citizen of her gated community and had no idea how she made a living. but they do say that this woman they saw in their local newspaper is the woman who lived in the apartment. a couple days ago somebody came to the apartment and removed suitcases. she has not been seen at her home since this news broke. >> what do we know about what took place that night? >> there's rumors flying all over cartagena. that's because there's been no official explanation from the police here, no police report we

could get our hands on. so we are getting our information from hotel security staff, one member of the staff, and a cab driver. both of them would not go on camera. the cab driver says that he is the one who drove donia suarez back to that apartment we just showed you after this event. he says that what she relaid to him was there was this dispute in the hotel. she was locked out of the hotel room after this man would not pay the money she was asking or any money. police intervened trying to reach some sort of settlement. it was during this negotiation period that other secret service agents came out of their rooms, pooled their money together and gave this money to the woman, enough to basically get rid of her. the agent who hired her, i guess you would have to say, would not come out of that room. that is how this whole thing began.

it was just an argument over pay. she did not get what she wanted and she demanded payment. >> there's also now reports she's trying to sell her story. is that true? >> reports only. we've been trying to reach her attorney, his name is marlin betancourt. he has not been answering his calls. we know he is the attorney for associates in his office. they wouldn't confirm or deny that she is trying to sell it. rumor is -- well, there's speculation anywhere from $40,000. but we have not had contact with this miss suarez or her attorney in this. >> and how common is prostitution in cartagena? >> it's known for it, quite frankly. the sex tourist trade here is very popular. and i can tell you just from being here the last three or four days, if you walk anywhere

at night near a nightclub or in the old city where a lot of these clubs are, you're going to be approached just about on every corner. a young man asking you if you're looking for a chica, if you're looking for girls and pointing you to back doors here and there in the city where you can find what you're looking for is what they've told us. we also know that a lot of single scantily clad women hand out in the discotheque where these secret service men were partying. it's common here. not shocking to the colombians that the americans were looking for sex. what's shocking to the colombians is what's shocking to the u.s. is that these men assigned to protect the president of the united states were out bringing prostitutes back to their hotel room just before the president's arrival. possibly opening the door for a security breach. the white house insists there was no security breach.

but there was a possibility. >> then to argue over a price, it seems so monumentally stupid at the very least. >> it would be nice to get the facts of what the price was. we've heard that she was quote, unquote going to charge $800. that seems like an outrageous price. the going rate here is from $100 to $200. i'm wondering if there was a communication error. but certainly it's going to be hard to understand or have this secret service agent once he's identified explain to not only his family and his friends but the other secret service agents that were involved just what the heck were you thinking when you decided you weren't going to pay this woman. >> drew, appreciate the reporting. thanks. shocker today in the trayvon martin case. late this afternoon just hours after the city of sanford announced a separation agreement with the police chief, bill lee, that including his offer to

resign. the council voted to decline it. sanford mayor called for an outside investigation saying he's neither ready for the chief, chief lee, to return nor ready to show him the door. others were more outspoken. >> chief lee is paying for the sins of past police officers. police chiefs. he has been here -- he has been in office ten months. how do you steer a boat that big, mr. mayor? how do you steer a boat in ten months to a complete turnaround? you don't. >> also saying quote, i do not feel that sanford needs healing. and quote, you think i'm a racist? bring it on, unquote. benjamin crump had this to say. quote, if chief bill lee recognized that his resignation would help the start of healing in the sanford, city leadership

should have accepted it. george zimmerman making bail leaving the jail. that's him on the left. he was wearing a bulletproof vest. their destination obviously unknown. this could be the last we see of george zimmerman for awhile. his attorney today entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. i spoke with mark o'mara late this afternoon. your client was released after making bail around midnight last night. how is he doing? >> he's doing well. he's very glad to be out. trying to get settled in. still worried about his safety, but talking to his family and feeling much better than being in. >> there were reports he'd received death threats, that he was wearing a bulletproof vest as he left the jail. it looks like he was wearing a vest. can you confirm that? >> he was. he was wearing a bulletproof vest and he has received threats through the internet. there's been a lot of chatter lately about his release. that's concerning him and us.

>> is he under police protection now? >> actually, no. police protected him while he was in jail. while in seminole county. but he's sort of on his own with his own protection at this point. >> so i obviously can't reveal where he is, nor would you, can you say if he's in the state of florida and if he plans to stay in the state? >> really couldn't say. we're going to have several locations moving him from just to make sure we maintain his safety and security. >> how is that being paid for? is that money raised from the website he set up? how is that paid for? >> actually, that's from the family. we've not raised any money or at least i haven't removed any money from whatever accounts are out there. haven't gained control of them yet. will at some point take the time to do that. >> do you know how much money's been raised by that website he set up? >> i got a note from somebody who seemed to have control over

one that there was $700 or $800 in it. i don't know who's monitoring them or who's handling them or if anyone is taking money out. i don't think so, but just haven't taken that on yet with everything else going on. >> how are you communicating with him? in person or over the phone? >> over the phone. he's not here. >> right. during his bond hearing on friday, zimmerman apologized to the martin family. i spoke to some of the -- to benjamin crump that night who called the apology self-serving. whose idea was it to apologize? >> well, it was george's idea to want to apologize. i tried to coordinate it. i communicated with the family a couple times saying he wanted to do it privately and confidentially. those communications weren't responded to directly so i was a bit frustrated. i now understand better the martin family position which is that i guess there was a press

release within which they said they didn't want to have the apology now. i was never made aware of that. i think it was thursday night. by the time friday night came around, i made the final decision to have him do the apolo apology. had i known, had george known the family didn't want it, we never would have done it. the suggestion that it was to get a bond just isn't accurate. we were getting a bond with or without the apology. it was done solely upon the request of miss fulton in a previous appearance she made. >> a number of legal analysts who watched the proceedings on friday were critical of the prosecution. on my program it was called abysmal. i want to play something from last week's hearing for our viewers. >> do you know who started the fight? >> do i know? >> right. >> no. >> do you have any evidence that supports who may have started

the fight? >> no. >> i think a lot of people were surprised that prosecution's investigator has no idea who started the altercation. do you think the prosecution came off as unprepared? >> well, it was a bit unique to handle a bond motion in this way. to in effect turn it into a discovery process. so in one sense, they may not have been prepared for an examination. but he is the agent so he would know the case as best as anything. i think he was telling the truth. i think today they have no evidence as to who started the fight. and no evidence to contract george's position he was going back towards the car. and those are two very, very relevant facts in this case particularly with the charge. >> after you saw the prosecution friday, are you more confident, less confident, or about the same in your case?

>> i'm going to be very conservative. i guess the same. they have not shown me their discovery. i'm sure they have a lot more than i was able to glean from the examination of the investigator. so there's a lot more to go through. >> mark o'mara. appreciate you being with us. thank you. >> sure thing. >> well, let us know what you think about the case. we're on facebook, google plus, follow me on twitter @anderson cooper. also tonight, the white house saying it is out of bounds but mitt romney's heritage raised by a democratic governor. romney's faith itself questioned by students at a christian university. we'll take you to mexico for the true story of romney's ancestry and we'll talk with the governor who brought it up. next.

what we learned here. and what we pioneered here. all goes here. the one. the accord. smarter thinking from honda. raw politics tonight. a couple questions. first, to what degree will mitt romney's mormon faith be a factor? took down the announcement he would be commencement speaker there that it attracted anti-mormon comments. montana's democratic governor touched a nerve. he was talking about swing sates and asked about governor romney trying to appeal to hispanic voters. he told the daily beast that

since his father was born in mexico, quote, it's kind of ironic his family came from a polygamy commune in mexico. but then he'd have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy come union in mexico. he said i'm not alleging that he's a polygamist but his father was born into a polygamy commune in mexico. we're going to talk with governor shwitzer and reed. but here's how governor romney responded. >> my dad's dad was not a polygamist. they lived in mexico and lived a very nice life there from what i understand. then when he was five or six years old, there was revolution in mexico. they escaped. my dad had a tough upbringing. >> the governor is with us right

after this from gary tuchman in mexico. >> reporter: about 200 miles south of the u.s. border through desperate poverty and drug cartel turf in mexico, it looks like a mirage. homes that make you feel you made a wrong turn somewhere. and it's here where we find -- >> kelly romney. >> meredith romney. >> reporter: this is the home of the romneys of mexico. >> mitt and i share the same great grandfather. miles park. >> reporter: there are about 40 members of the romney family here. most of them seem to be successful farmers and business people. they are part of the 500 mormons in this tiny town. where a mormon temple was bit not long ago. and where mormons and nonmormons alike go to school. >> you love this country? >> i do. >> this is your home? >> it's my home. >> reporter: kelly, kent, and

mitt romney's great grandfather is buried in this ceremony where he moved with his family in 1985. >> he moved here and he basically started this family tree that exists to this day. >> yes. >> reporter: many of the mormons who came here in the 19th century arrived to escape religious persecution in the united states. many of the men came with multiple wives. there was also concern about prosecution. there was no such concern in mexico. even though the church of jesus christ of latter day saints known as the lds church got rit of polygamy in 1890, mexico was a haven. >> is there any polygamy still here? >> no. not at all. >> reporter: mitt romney does mention his family connection to this place on some occasion. >> i'm not antiimmigrant. my father was born in mexico. >> reporter: but romney leaves out a lot. either not preferring to talk about it or not knowing about parts of it. he is the only u.s. presidential

candidate who has a relative kidnapped by gun point by a mexican gang. >> they hit me in the head with the pistol. i walked towards my grandson because i was worried about him. they hit me over the head again said get in. so when i figured it was me they wanted, i didn't resist. i just got in the truck. they handcuffed my hands behind me. off we went. >> reporter: for days meredith was blindfolded in a cave. the romneys paid a ransom to get him back. >> were you afraid they were going to kill you? >> at first i was. i don't know. >> reporter: mitt romney also hasn't mentioned or doesn't know his cousin's differences in opinion about his hard line stance on mexican immigration. kelly romney's view -- >> i would say tear that fence down. start working with mexican officials on trying to come to a common ground and a solution.

>> reporter: kent romney's view -- >> i support building a fence. i support bringing troops on the border if necessary. >> reporter: but the views of the mexican romneys for the most part appear more similar than not. especially when it comes to their religion. >> i guess being lds, yeah, i think god would be pleased with mitt romney being president of the united states. >> reporter: most of the mexican romneys ranch and work in peach and apple orchards for a living. they've never met their famous cousin. they think it would be great for him to pay a visit. >> if you had ten seconds with him, what would you say? >> that's a great question. i'd say give it all you got, mitt, we're behind you. >> reporter: and that's one more not so surprising fact about the romneys of mexico. mitt romney has their support for the white house. gary tuchman, cnn, mexico. >> let's dig deeper now with

montana governor and ralph reed founder of the faith and freedom coalition. thanks for being here. you raised a lot of light into this. is that fair game? i mean is that fair to talk about? >> well, people took it way off base. i didn't say anything about any religion. as you mentioned earlier, the mormon religion hasn't accepted polygamy in 120 years. as i said before, mitt romney or his family that i know of doesn't except polygamy today. they took far right turns including with immigration. his opponents were criticizing him because he was saying if you're an 85-year-old grandmother and you didn't have all of your is dots and ts crossed, and you're a great grandmother in the united states, you should self-deport. >> but in this interview you mentioned six or seven times that his father was born into a

polygamy commune in mexico. it was mitt romney's great grandfather who practiced polygamy in the 1800s. is that fair to raise? >> people are taking this far away from where i was discussing. i was saying that mitt romney currently has a problem with latino voters. and it is ironic that his father had come from mexico. you could think he could embrace his latino roots. >> you were saying he was having a woman problem and he doesn't want to talk about the fact -- the mexico fact because of the polygamy connection. >> he both has a gender gap and he has a latino gap. probably wider than anybody who's run for president in recent years. so the point is how can he reach to the middle? now he's won the primary for all intensive purposes. now he'd like to get those latino voters back? or get the gender gap closed. >> to the governor's original

comment, do you think he has a woman problem or talking about this -- or a problem talking about his father's history in mexico because of polygamy? >> not at all. he's brought it up. you showed the clip. i would say during the research survey, romney's already closed the gender gap to 13 points. which is only five points to where it was when george w. bush won over al gore. i think really the obama campaign has repudiated these comments. i think it ought to be offlimits. i think it's equally -- the biographer documents his great grandfather had five wives. his grandfather had four wives. this is the silly season. we've got 13 million americans out of work, anderson. we've got another 7 million who've given up looking for work because they can't find a job. and we're tweeting out photos of

people's dogs and talking about what happened in mexico in 1907. and, you know, the governor has every right to stand by his remarks. i would say they were not welcomed by the obama campaign and i personally as a person of faith as well as a civic participant just think we shouldn't be talking about this. >> governor? >> well, of course we didn't talk about religion. i've made it very clear that mormons do not believe in polygamy. that mitt romney does not believe in polygamy. this is a question about what does he do with the latino vote. >> do you regret, though, giving this interview where you mentioned polygamy six or seven times. >> how many times i mentioned in an interview, i can't tell you. i'm asked requests by a reporter just like you are now. you've asked me three or four times in this interview. there's a wide disparity between latinos voting for mitt romney or the other candidate. think about it. if you're running for office and

your family came from a certain country and there's a large number of them voting, you'd think you'd embrace it. maybe you'd go down -- >> but he has talked about it. >> maybe run ads with your relatives. >> governor, he has brought it up. as anderson pointed out, you weren't just talking about latino voters. when you brought up the polygamy issue in the interview, unprompted, you said that that was a problem for the gender gap. you said 86% of women oppose polygamy. i think that's an understatement. i think it's closer to 100%. but whatever the issue is, why bring this up? and when you bring up something like this and then the obama campaign is saying he's weird and secretive. this looks like whatever your motive or intention was, it looks like a deliberate attempt to engage in a whisper campaign to turn voters off from romney because of his faith. >> well, good luck, cowboy. you are trying to assess

motives. i'm simply laying out how mitt romney is going to get that gender gap and also he's got a problem with latino voters. those are the two areas he's having the great -- >> so you stand by the comments? >> yeah. i wasn't talking about anybody's religion. in fact, in my comments i simply said that mitt romney is not a polygamist, doesn't support polygamy and neither does the mormon church. there are people like ralph that want to take it where i didn't take it. i'm not going there. >> got to leave it there. ralph reed, appreciate you being on ton. john edwards arrived at court today with his oldest daughter at his side. he's accused of using campaign funds to cover up his affair with rielle hunter. more next. all energy development comes with some risk,

but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today.

in crime and punishment,

former presidential candidate john edwards arrived in court today with his daughter kate at his side. related to money dealings in his failed campaign. edwards is facing six felony and misdemeanor charges and up to 30 years in prison if convicted. he refused a plea deal. joe johns was in the courtroom today. pretty dramatic day in the court. >> reporter: that's for sure, anderson. today we had the first testimony from a guy named andrew young who was a north carolina advance man for john edwards. very close to him. so close to him, in fact, he wrote a tell-all book about his relationship with john edwards and john edwards' relationship with his mistress rielle hunter who bore his child out of wedlock. we also learned in the courtroom just before andrew young took the stand that the judge had information that young had reached out and tried to contact

and did contact three witnesses on the defense witness list. among them a woman he had allegedly had a one night stand with in 2007. of course, this is the kind of thing you would expect to come up in a cross examination and a lot of people are expecting that. because this is the kind of information that is typically used to discredit a witness which would be very important for the defense of john edwards. >> god bless you. thank you for being here. >> reporter: once a rising star in the democratic party, he was an all american golden boy. a family man reaching for the ultimate political cries. >> i am the candidate for is the president of the united states that is the people's candidate. >> reporter: a successful former trial lawyer, john edwards is now in for the trial of his life. charged with violating federal campaign finance laws which brings a stiff sentence. 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if found guilty.

and it all started with this woman, rielle hunter. edwards hired her to shoot webisodes for furthering his am impositions. it became apparent to insiders that she was more than a film maker to edwards. >> so glad you like it. >> i like it. why don't you hear me give it live? >> reporter: immediately those close to edwards expected an affair. a tabloid exposed his affair. but edwards became a near serial denier. >> when you were running for president you flat out denied having your relationship with rielle hunter, were you telling the truth then? >> yes. >> reporter: edwards' closest aide andrew young would claim he fathered the child as reporters

closed in on the truth. eventually edwards admitted personal failure. >> there's no question i've done wrong. i take full responsibility for having done wrong. and i will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that i've caused to others. >> reporter: federal prosecutors have accused the 58-year-old of causing a coverup. once a prominent politician preaching to americas, edwards himself was living two lives. he fathered a daughter with hunter while his wife elizabeth edwards was dying of cancer. after 33 years of marriage, the couple separated in early 2010. in july of that year, just five months before her death, she spoke to larry king. >> you don't look in the mirror and say what do i do wrong? >> no. do i do it occasionally? of course i do. but i think it's important for me to understand that i didn't do anything wrong. not just important for me but

important also for my children to understand that what the mother they saw, the wife that they saw trying to support her husband in his quest in his dreams. >> reporter: in 2011 the government indicted edwards on six counts including conspiracy, issues false statements, and violated campaign finance laws. the two star witnesses andrew young and rielle hunter both have immunity. hunter is also on the defense team's witness list. edwards spent the last year preparing for trial and undergoing heart surgery. >> i did not break the law and i never, ever thought i was breaking the law. >> reporter: and that's the crux of the case. whether the gifts from edwards' wealthy when the factors were personal or political in nature. the senator has maintained his friends were helping him out of

a fix. no matter what the outcome, it is the ultimate fall from grace for a once-adored son from the south. >> joining me now is real johnson. she was with the campaign and asked him about the affair. jeffrey toobin is here as well. it's bad news for the prosecution, jeff, that their star witness contacted three other witnesses to find out what they were going to be saying. that's incredible. >> this is a bizarre case and that's a bizarre way to open. >> what was he thinking? >> beats the heck out of me. if the prosecution is smart, they'll bring it out on direct examination. but you can be sure the defense will pound that among many other things during cross examination. >> what do you think of this case? >> it's a weird case. he's a much reviled figure. but the specific charges are

odd. basically the idea that these hundreds of thousands of dollars were campaign contributions, it doesn't feel that way. i mean, it's just an odd way of prosecuting someone. that this somehow is a campaign violation. also a potential bombshell is the argument the defense raised today that andrew young who served as the bag man actually took several hundred thousands dollars of this money and used it for his own devices. which would hurt the prosecution's case a lot. >> i had him on the show and he denies he used that money. ray lynn, we heard your voice back when you kored his presidential campaign. you were in the courtroom today. what was his demeanor like? >> i have to say he was a bit nervous. but john edwards has been expecting this day for a long time. he came in, sat at his desk and had a bit of water. instantly i noticed that he was a little red in the face a bit.

then he was flushed and he was fine. most importantly which i thought was very telling of him is he still had the same clothes he wore on the campaign. the same suit, the same shoes, the tie. the only thing missing was his pin he used to wear to commemorate his son wade. and for me to see that i thought this is not john edwards the politician. this is the man who's a defendant today. >> jeff, what is this case going to boil down to? >> it's going to boil down to what the jury believes this money was. >> the campaign contributors. bunny melon. >> the heiress in virginia. the people who gave the money will not be witnesses. and what they -- the jury believes this was. >> so it was money for campaign contributions -- >> then he's guilty. >> but if it was money to cover this up -- >> then he's innocent.

>> or to get through a tough bind. >> correct. and the facts of the case are not that much in dispute. what is in dispute is what was in edwards' head. what did he think this money was for. raelyn, you were covering this. it was extraordinary. this guy that was running for president and was doing all this stuff on the side. still to this day boggles my mind. >> i know. it's very hard to understand. and i think that -- i asked him twice about the affair. first time when the national enquirer story broke. then i asked him about six months later in the summer. i only asked him because at that point he was legitimately being considered, at least he was in the press circles, for being a vice presidential candidate. he wanted to be attorney general. so i asked him knowing what i knew, but also to say look, you're obviously not running for president anymore.

but if you're going to be the attorney general or vice president, there are qualities you have to have like honesty. do you possess those qualities given what might have happened? and he lied again and said that he was telling me the truth six months ago. >> even when he gave his interview to nbc news, he was still lying. he still didn't fully come clean. >> if he takes the stand, all that video -- raelyn's questions all going to be played back. >> thank you. is the man on the left charles manson this man's father. tonight he has an answer after dna tests that we arranged. that's next on the program.

we recently told you about a man haunted by the possibility he could be the son of a monster. the man on the left is charles manson, notorious murderer. the man on the right is matthew roberts. you can see a resemblance. 14 years ago roberts who was adopted as an infant tracked down his biological mother. it raised the factm manson coul be his father. we arranged for dna testing to

answer the question once and for all. to get the truth, however, we needed the help of someone else. manson's grandson. here's miguel marquez. >> reporter: jason freeman is speaking out for the first time. >> i'm coming out to bury his name. you know, i'm burying it. i broke the third generation curse. >> reporter: the curse which began when charles manson directed his followers to call out horrific murders. this member of the real manson family says enough. >> i am who i am. you know? i'm not something that he was. >> reporter: the second part of the curse, jason freeman's father charles manson jr. in 1993 put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. >> he just couldn't let it go. he couldn't live it down. he couldn't live down who his father was. >> reporter: jason barely knew his father who changed his name

to jay white. he believes he stayed away purposely. >> and your father? what would you want him to know now? >> what i want him to know is just he missed out on a lot. yeah. >> reporter: charles manson jr., aka jay white, missed out on grandchildren. they are raising three boys in ohio. >> i see my kids, you know. and that's kind of why i get shook up at. i would hate to see them grow up without a father. that's important. very important. >> reporter: jason still has feelings for a father he never met. it is the same primal instinct following this man. matthew roberts has been haunted by the possibility he is the son of charles manson.

we told you his story previously. adopted to a good home, he sought out his birth mother when he was 30 years old. in 1998 he found her and she delivered the shocking news that he was conceived in 1967 in san francisco where she met manson at a drug-fueled orgy. >> i read there were four men present. >> that's what i understood. i looked at there was a one in four chance. >> reporter: roberts tried twice to get a dna match with material from charles manson himself. but the samples were contaminated. but there is another way to establish the family link. matthew roberts and jason freeman, if they're related will share manson's dna. >> what we're able to do is use the y chromosome in this testing. because charles manson would pass this on to his male offspring, we could then determine what the y chromosome pattern was in jason and be able

to say that that is charles manson's y chromosome profile. we compare that to matthew to see if he had the same profile or not. if he did, he could be related. >> reporter: so we sent in both men to have samples taken. in california roberts was swapped. in ohio jason freeman had the same. fingerprints taken. leaving no doubt to whose dna was taken. both samples were brought here to fairfield, ohio. we also brought roberts and freeman here to they can get the results themselves. both men meeting for the first time. >> nice to meet you, brother. hug? >> absolutely. how you doing? >> good, man. little nervous. >> reporter: if they are not related, it will come as a shock. their lives seem to run on parallel tracks. both towards fame and fortune.

time now for the ridiculist. we're adding a debate over mike and ike. what message they're sending. i'm talking about the candy. this candy. the name ike is scribbled out on the box. right there. it was like that when we bought it. it's part of a marketing campaign that says after 72 years mike and ike are splitting up over creative differences. they can't agree on creative ideas for the candy. mike wants to pursue music and ike wants to be an artist. it's already playing out on twitter, facebook, and tumblr. >> global warming? economic confusion? aand now the breakup of mike and ike? >> when i heard the news, i was devastated.
