at least no witnesses have come forward to say that. authorities have been collecting evidence from a vacant house in somer's neighborhood undergoing renovation including a dumpster on the friday. somer was last seen in front of that house. the autopsy is complete but authorities will not say how she died. >> we know the cause of death. our focus is on preserving the integrity of this investigation and not releasing any information that in the long run would prevent us from prosecuting and convicting the person who did this to somer. for that reason at no point will we discuss the cause of death, the manner in which she died or any other details regarding what was done to this child. >> the last person to see somer appears to have been a little boy who lives nearby. he says he saw her near this vacant house we're talking about. >> she was just running so i thought she was excited but she had a frown on her face.

>> very sickening. it's just scary. >> last night there was a candlelight vigil for somer right outside her house. earlier her mother told the killer whoever the killer is there will be justice for her little girl. >> i want you to know that i will not sleep until this person is found. i hope they get you. i hope they make you pay for a long, long time. you don't take from somebody. you didn't take her from just me. you took her from my family. you took her from all of these people. you don't do this to a little baby and put my baby in the trash like she's nothing. it's not okay. this is not okay. >> breaking news tonight nancy grace will have all of the late developments in the search for soimariesmer somer's killer at 8:00 and 10:00

mountains. pilots didn't respond to radio, didn't respond to text communications. controllers in minneapolis finally contacted the pilot after more than an hour when the plane was over wisconsin. but answers were so vague they were kind of concerned maybe this plane had been hijacked. talking by phone on our show today, aviation industry veteran bob marks says he thinks the pilots may have been asleep. >> the tapes that record all of the conversations in the cockpit will pretty much prove that these two guys fell asleep and of course that is the simple answer. the real question is going to be why did that happen? what was their duty day like prior to this flight? what were the days like a few days prior to this trip at all? because fatigue in airline flying in all kinds of flying is a huge issue and that's why there's a piece of legislation right now on the hill to address

this. just because of these kinds of problems. >> the plane did eventually land safely. passengers didn't know what happened until they got on the ground and ntsb spokesperson says it's looking into whether the pilots fell asleep. northwest is part of delta air lines and issued a statement saying that it is cooperating with the faa and the ntsb in their investigation and conducting our own internal investigation. the pilots have been relieved from active flying pending the completion of these investigations. the passengers said they had no idea what was going on but they were horrified once they landed and found out. so it's got us wondering, would you want to know if there's a problem, maybe that kind of problem, or any kind of problem if you were in flight or is it ignorance bliss? does what happened on this plane make you any less confident in flight crews? call us right now.

told you earlier about that northwest flight that flew 150 miles past its destination at the airport in minneapolis. you all have been some comedians about this one. some of you are ticked off. passengers, the ones on this flight, say they had no clue about what was happening. they were horrified once they found out. would you want to know while you

were still in the air? some of have you been sharing your comments on my facebook page. if you like facebook and you're there search richelle carey hln on facebook and that's how you can join. martin wrote this. unless my life is in danger, they can do as many u-turns as needed and never tell me about it. jackie says this -- let's get to the phones now. the nancy is calling us from seal beach california. what's your take? what kind of flier are you? a nervous flier or do you want to know everything that's going on? >> caller: i'm not a nervous flier but i would like to know what's going on if i was expecting to land in minneapolis or anywhere and 20 30 minutes go by and i haven't seen the descent, i would want someone to communicate with me. >> does this make you a little uneasy the next time you get on

a plane or is this just a unique situation? >> caller: it does shake my confidence. i kind of think that the pilot or co-pilot should be required to communicate with the passengers maybe every 20 minutes just to say you know, we're landing such and such a time or the weather is such and such so we know they're awake. >> not a bad idea. nancy, thank you for your phone call. rob is calling us from sterling virginia. rob, i am told you are a pilot. i don't know if you were paying attention. i didn't expect to put you on the spot. our last caller says pilots should have to check in with passengers every 20 minutes or so. what do you think about that? >> caller: well, i agree with nancy absolutely. you know, the airline industry is a service industry and the crew does have a responsibility to keep the passengers informed to let them know where they're going and delays, etc. keep in mind that the first and foremost responsibility of the crew is always the passenger safety. and i think in the case of the

emergencies, the passengers really do not have the right to know immediately if something is going on because the crew's first responsibility is to handle the problem. if it affects destination or timing -- >> that did become a timing issue. if they're 150 miles offcourse, that becomes a timing issue. >> if it does turn out to be true that allegedly they were asleep, they may have had quite a bit of catchup to do as they realized their predicament and attempted to correct the issue not to mention fuel planning and security concerns as well. >> rob thank you for your phone call. we already lost him. devon is calling us from new york. how much do you want to know when you're in the air? we lost him. i thought that was rob hanging up. we lost him. got an e-mail.

attacked or abducted. officials say it is important they talk to anyone who may have been in that neighborhood monday afternoon. >> what we have been trying to do is figure out who frequents that area. because obviously, it is more than just the people who live there. we're trying to determine and monitor any activities that go on there regularly. not only because that might lead to us a suspect but it might lead us to someone who possibly comes there every monday to make a delivery. and may have inopportune or not even knowingly seen something that could be important to this case. so certainly, i wouldn't want anyone to think because we make a traffic stop, that we're focusing on that person from a suspect standpoint. it could be for a variety of reasons. we definitely want to know. we want to be contacted by anyone who for any reason frequents that area on a regular basis and certainly, anyone who for any reason you was in that

people in los angeles are lining up by the hundreds i don't know, thousands of people at this one location for the h1n1 vaccine. l.a. county's public health department just opened two clinics for uninsured or at risk residents. the first in line said she got there at midnight. wow. when we told you his health insurance was being pulled you responded with outrage. now how the insurance company is responding to the uproar.

investigators may not get any answers from the cockpit data recorder on the northwest airlines. the one that flew 150 miles past its destination. authorities say this is an older model recorder that only records for 30 minutes at a time. that means it likely missed the key conversations leading up to this thing going off course.

wow. they first lost contact with the plane as it was flying by the rocky mountains. they didn't respond to radio or text. patrolers finally contacted the pilot after more than an hour when it was over wisconsin. his answers were vague. it got controllers worried that is this a hijacking going on? earlier an aviation veteran says he thinks the pilot may have been asleep. >> the tapes that record all the conversations in the cockpit are going to pretty much prove i think that these two guys fell asleep. of course, that's the simple answer. the real question is going to be why did that happen. what were the days like prior to this trip at all? fatigue in airline flying in all kinds of flying is a huge issue. that's why there's a piece of

legislation right now on the hill to address this. just because of these kinds of problems. >> well the plane landed safely. and the passengers didn't know any of this was happening while they were in the air. a spokesperson says the agency is looking into whether the pilots did in fact fall asleep. northwest issued a statement saying it's cooperating with the faa and ntsb as well as conducting our own internal investigation. pilots on board the plane passengers on board the plane didn't know what was going on until they landed. if something is wrong on one of your flights, do you want the crew to tell you what's happening? or would you just want to know once everything is okay.

interesting comments that you want to dive in. go to richelle carey hln. theresa said if i could be preparing myself for something like hard landing, then yes. if it's something i cannot help i would just say let me and the pilot sleep. lol. you know what that means. michael says this. i would rather the flight crew be on task. i.d. rather the passengers not know because it could make things worse. tim disagrees saying no such thing is too much info from the flight crew. julie calling from new york. julie says you want to know what is going on. is that right julie? >> caller: that is correct. yes. >> in all situations? >> caller: absolutely. i like to be fully involved and know what's going on around me at all times. for 20 years i've been a

diabetic. with all the problems of bringing insulin and -- or what if i need ad juice box or didn't have something on me to care for myself. that could mean life or death for a person. not just my situation but anyone with a chronic disease. >> that's an interesting point. this situation did add time to the flight. these people weren't aware of what was going on or that the extra time would be added to their flight. dwayne is calling us from wisconsin. dwayne, what's your take? >> caller: my take is i believe that lady said too. they can't take care of it then they should come out and forewarn you of what's going on. the other statement i want to say is cameras in the cockpit so

if they don't respond, they can hatch in there and see what's going on. or they could have a phone where the stewardess lobby thing is wherever they do all that stuff, and have them -- give them a call. then they could go up front and see what's going on. >> at one point when the air traffic controllers couldn't get to them, you're thinking the flight attendants could have been like, what's going on in there? >> caller: yes. >> you called with solutions. duane, we appreciate that. got an update on the story you were all equally more passionate about. this is an insurance company. it is restoring its coverage for a severely disabled man in florida that we've been telling you about for a few days. guardian life issued an apology to ian pearl.

an executive referred to his case and cases like this as dogs the company should get rid of. guardian announced it's restoring his plan even as his mother was on capitol hill lobbying for health care reform. the company hasn't said what will happen for hundreds of other policyholders like pearl who lost their coverage when the company decided to discontinue the policies. hln's joy behar and conservative commentator ann coulter don't agree on politics -- like at all. see what happened when they talked about assassination threats against obama and who she thinks is responsible for them. >> every presidential assassination or attempted presidential assassination was committed by a left wing loon communist, anarchist -- yes they were. >> the home grown terrorists are also another group. >> but they're all liberal. >> wait a minute. don't make that jump from murder to terrorist to liberal.

that is an outrageous statement. assassin by assassin by assassin. >> they're not liberals, they're murders, they're terrorists. >> the ideology. >> stop it. >> catch "the joy behar show."

>> they're pretty big and generating a lot of buzz on and off wall street. a lot of criticism. the administration has been talking about this compensation really for a year now. they're putting the words into actions. yesterday afternoon that's when ken feinberg came out with the rules governing executive pay. the big question is really what role does the u.s. government -- what should they play in terms of handling compensation or regulating pay at these american businesses. bailout or not. that's a question that jessica yellin posed to the pay czar. >> it's not a good idea for the united states government to start micromanaging compensation practices at american businesses. but that's not this case. these are under the statutes seven specific companies that are in effect oldwed to the

taxpayers of the united states. that's a much different situation. >> he's exactly right. a much different situation. essentially saying these businesses, richelle, wouldn't be standing if it were not for taxpayer money propping them up. as for the cuts we're talking about, look at the screen. when you look at the panes, citigroup, total compensation for the top 25 execs at the firm down 70% compared to a year ago. down 65.5% at bank of america. at aig down more than 57%. and general motors, the automaker that has emerged from bankruptcy will be down 25%. but lose those quote, uncoatquote, talented pleas because of pay restrictions? that's something being argued about really now that these rules are out, richelle. >> and there are always exceptions to rules, always. what are the exceptions poppy?

>> there are exceptions, and this was really on the front page of that release from the treasury we got yesterday afternoon. sort of a loophole if you will. this is where the pay czar deems that it's necessary to retain talent or protect taxpayer interests, richelle. >> what these three aig officials are entitled to is a prior valid contract entered into long before the law was passed or i arrived, and the fact of the matter is that i met with the aig officials, and there's clearly an understanding that these contracts are valid. however, since those contracts are valid i did take those dollars into account in setting compensation for 2009 and going forward into 2010. >> so obviously as you heard, this is a case-by-case basis for compensation on wall street.

question really remains will this change the pay structure in the long term? you can hear more of that interview, the full interview with the pay czar. it's right on our home page at cnnmoney.com. >> thank you so much. again, much more of the business news, like poppy said, cnnmoney.com. be sure to check it out. it's good stuff. investors were ready to take their earnings today. the stock market said good-bye to the 10000 mark sliding more than 100 points just minutes before the closing bell the dow is at a 9964, down 116 points. yikes. the next time you feel like taking a drink of watter from a water fountain, think about this how many people have been there before you? and could you could you catch something from them? we'll hear from experts on whether you need to worry about it with the flu season under way.

of interest. once we reached that person and interviewed them ultimately they led us to where we have recovered elizabeth's body. we're not going to have a lot to add to it at this time. a profound number of resources, both from volunteers that have been here the vfw, the american red cross, but in addition our brother firefighters as well as the highway patrol, the fbi, certainly the office of the sheriff. we're not going to be able to expand a great deal on it other than to tell you that the person that led us to this is also a juvenile. >> local to this area? >> local to this area, yes. >> connected to the family in any way? >> no. >> just to reiterate a body has been recovered in central missouri. the body has not been positively

i.d.'d. the question surrounding this 9-year-old elizabeth olton was last seen walking home from a friend's house wednesday afternoon. this is never jefferson city missouri. if you plan to get the h1n1 vaccine, take your patience with you. take a look at this long line here. this is in l.a. keeps going and going and going. hundreds lined up at this clinic for the first h1n1 vaccine clinic sponsored by the los angeles county department of public health. health officials say the first priority is going to pregnant women, health care workers, and young children under the age of 2 who are considered high risk. officials in clay county, florida, they're updating us now also on their investigation into 7-year-old somer thompson's death and the search for a suspect. let's listen in. >> they have detailed evidence from the garbage that leads back directly to that neighborhood, not yet. [ inaudible question ] >> not that i'm aware of no.

>> how often is the family updated? do you talk to them every couple hours? >> i'm sorry? >> how often is the family updated about the progress of the investigation? >> since the beginning of this investigation first when it was a missing child and then now that we know that it's a homicide investigation, we have had a detective or a member of this agency assigned to be the liaison to the family and literally has befriended and in dina thompson's word become close friends with she and other members of the family. we have been by their side as an agency the entire time. we have had someone with them the entire time since monday evening. >> mary can you -- >> the viewing and the memorial service, are they open to the media? >> we're working on the arrangements now? i know there will be arrangements made. we're waiting on dina thompson

to make a decision about how much media coverage she will allow and to what extent that media coverage will be set up by the sheriff's office as opposed to the family or the church. so we're working on that now. >> is the body still in the hands of the coroner in georgia? >> that is my understanding. >> can you release any more details about the autopsy? >> no. and we have the details that we need to work on this investigation, but we still have a suspect at large or suspects. we don't want that person or persons to know anything about what we know. >> do you have anyone in mind at this point? >> no. >> anyone that you can zero in on? >> no. >> mary, are you releasing the body to the family this weekend and if so [ inaudible ]. >> will the body have the family in time for the funeral? >> i know that the medical examiner in savannah, georgia, made the autopsy of this child victim a priority.

obviously, did a thorough job but completed it as quickly as possible so that not only we could move along with our investigation, but so the family could have their child's body back for burial. i don't know exactly when the family will receive the body of somer thompson. i know that the funeral home, jack's memory gardens, will be part of that process obviously and we can certainly try to let you all know when it appears that her body has made it back to our area in preparation for services. but as of right now, i do not believe that that has happened. >> has any physical evidence been gathered anywhere other than the address on gano avenue? >> you know not that i have been notified of, although i will say that, you know you could say that we've collected physical evidence even at the home of the victim because obviously, you know, items in the home you know, originally

with the search for instance. i think you saw us coming and going from the home where we got item from somer's bedroom that we used with the dogs. but beyond the other locations that you have been at no. >> of the sex offenders that were interviewed, did any of them know somer? >> not that has been divulged to me. even if i did know, i certainly would not be at liberty to talk about their comments to our investigators. >> have transients frequented that home? >> that is not something i've been advised about. >> any advice to other parents? >> i think they are already on the right track? i think they have taken the safety of their children into their own hands, which is great. they know that the sheriff's office is out there in force but what i have seen and what i have heard is this incident has certainly raised everyone's

awareness to an unfortunate and all-time high not only in that neighborhood, but everywhere in clay county in florida, and around the country. i will tell you that i know for sure that there are parents, not just growth park elementary parents, but otherwise who have changed their routine and decided to either instead of letting their kids walk drive them and pick them up in their own cars or have assigned walking polls so to speak like a car pool where an adult is now accompanying the children back and forth. i have seen that taking place. and we certainly think that that is a wise decision. we do have a suspect or suspects out there who have committed this crime, and until we have an arrest and know that that danger doesn't exist at this current level, i think that that is a smart move on those parents' part. >> not a lot of new information here coming out of the death of 7-year-old somer thompson. what we know, her body was found in a landfill in georgia on wednesday. the autopsy has been complete.

investigators are staying tight-lipped on the results. you just herd the pio out of clay county, florida, say, yes, the family is working out memorial service plans. may or may not be open to the media. we will have more on somer thompson and the missing missouri girl, elizabeth olton, 9 years old. we just heard live they have found a body. is it connected? we'll stay on both those stories coming up.

it tourns out the flight data recorder from that northwest jet that overshot its destination by 150 miles may not be much help to investigators after all. the recorder is said to be one of the older models that only records 30 minutes at a time. it may not have all the data investigators need. air-traffic controllers first lost contact with flight 188 wednesday night as it was flying somewhere around the rockies.

controllers in minneapolis finally were able to contact the pilot after more than an hour when the plane was over wisconsin. but his answers were so vague these controllers worried the plane might have been hijacked. the ntsb looking into this and looking into the fact these pilots might have fallen asleep. passengers the whole time had no idea what was going on. northwest, part of delta air lines, it issued this statement take a look. they're saying it is cooperating with the faa and ntsb in their investigation as well as conducting our own internal investigation. the pilots have been relieved from active flying pending the completion of these investigations. so like i said passengers on board that flight remember they had gone 150 miles past they had no idea what was going on and they were horrified to find out what happened once they landed. and you have been sharing your views as to what you were thinking whether it's good -- it's a good thing or a bad thing to know what's going on if something is happening on board a plane. so let's go to some of the callers. i want to start with misty in california.

misty, what do you think? if you were on this plane, would you have wanted to know what was happening? >> caller: i would have wanted to know possibly on that case but i had something happen this past june where my family and i were on a flight from denver to sacramento. when we landed, they landed us on the farthest runway from the airport and there were fire trucks on stand-by. the pilot then explained that tire rubber was seen at denver possibly from our plane. so i mean i'm a calm flyer, but even that would have made me super scared. >> so that's the kind of thing you're glad you didn't have to hear about it until you saw the fire trucks on the tarmac. >> that's right. i think the pilots made a wise choice in that case. >> thank you. sharon on the phone in virginia. sharon, would you want to know? >> caller: hi, i agree with misty. i have flown at night before and the last thing i'd want my flight attendant to tell me is that my flight would be late in landing because my pilots ha

fallen asleep. it would have thrown all the passengers into a panic attack which really could have put that airplane in danger. now, pilots they use that autopilot especially at night. my dad used to fly. those passengers were actually safer than if those two pilots had been in control. maybe they need 30 minute cabin checks. >> we don't know if they fell asleep. that was one question. the crew has issued part of a statement. we don't know what happened.

paraprofessionals at the center of the case, julianne parrish and christine na calies were allowed to continue working with students. officials say the two would have been on leave if they believed a child was in danger. they say there was not enough evidence at the time to support the allegations. >> depends individually on the circumstances. >> reporter: the only formal charges against the former district employees involved the son of tiffany schilling. her lawyer tells us other parents have since come forward saying their parents were abused in a great falls school, but according to tammy lacy no new allegations have come forward in the district involving any current school employees. in fact, lacy says the district has seen a great deal of support from parents. >> they have called to say the special ed program in great falls public schools changed their children's life for the best h a major impact on it and their children can have happy and productive lives because of our special ed programming, and so that's been a good thing to hear. that doesn't mean that we don't

last chance to try to avoid jail. others go there by choice. a lot of the people in treatment are full of guilt and fear. they say that they know that their addictions can do harm to their babies but a lot of them sill have trouble staying clean. >> i've been going to jail since i was like 15 and up. >> i didn't know if i was going to live from day to day with the amount of drugs that i was doing and i didn't really care. >> now the center includes a communal kitchen there's a playground for the kids. also includes some pretty strict rules. no phone calls or internet access. plenty of security cameras and a tight schedule including therapy and parents classes. for some women it has proven to be too much. they've actually just walked out leaving their newborns behind, but the center's director defends the center saying it's still worth the effort wondering what's the alternative if they don't come here?

>> we can't guarantee that they won't relapse no more than we can guarantee that they will, but they do have new skills, new tools that many of them didn't have when they walked through that door and they do have a desire to have a clean and sober life. >> now our producer visited the center back in july. of the 16 women enrolled at the time 2 of them left 6 of them still enrolled half of them, 8, have graduated. if you want to get more details on the personal stories, go to cnn.com/living. >> at the least there's a place they can go to help them get clean. virginia thank you. new developments out of this case of a muslim teen who ran away from home to florida. she converted to christianity. the ohio girl claims she was afraid her muslim father would either harm her or kill her because of her religious conversion. well a florida judge has now

still centering around that home. i was out there last night until about midnight in full white jumpsuits haz-mat stutes doing all types of investigations, a bulldozer was out there late last night and they say there was heavy debris they needed help moving and a construction dumper right by this house. they say that dumpster has not been emptied since the time somer went missing or before up until now but they went thoroughly through the dumpster also going thoroughly through the house doing light testing, sensitive light testing if you looked inside you could see bright blue and green lights going off and they say that is standard procedure for an investigation such as this. they are not saying any such physical evidence led them back to this house but multiple witnesses place somer in front of this house as the last point of her being seen. >> do we know natisha, how many people saw her? because is this -- a residential area this walk home, right somewhat populated. so, somebody probably saw something, right? >> absolutely mike.

you would think so. it's a purely residential area and, for a -- around and around this area is just a neighborhood, just houses. you would think somebody had seen something. what they're saying there's multiple witnesses not giving a specific number but say it includes adults as well as children and also a park directly across the street and they also collected some evidence from that park. they were inside a men's room at that park that was connected to the park for about six minutes last night. we don't know what evidence was collected from there. >> okay. let's bring in mike brooks. mike, hitting on both of those, the first time i've heard of this park and a men's room. let's start there. what would take authorities there, some sort of physical evidence some trace that somer was there at one point? >> a good possibility. but if they were only in there six minutes as she was saying they probably were just in there just to make sure they crossed all their ts and dotted all their i didn'ts. what i found interesting she was there until midnight last night and saw blue lights green

lights, mike this -- we call it alternate light sources working a crime scene. you can also use luminol, spray it around a house and looks for the presence of blood even tiny specs of blood splatter and used for other things, looking for fibers, certain kind of fibers will glow under a certain alternate light source and look for the presence of semen other bodily fluids to see if possibly they were in that house. mike, you and i talked about it before we went on there is something that led them to that house. i understand that's the last vicinity she was seen but did they find something in that landfill around her that led them back to there that may be connected with that house or was there something we talked about yesterday, was there something on her clothes that may have led back to there? but, in the white tyveq suits to not transfer any possible evidence from their clothing to a possible crime scene.

we heard from diena thompson yesterday saying the kids have been pretty much taken away from all the media that have been around the home. but, the kids were also you know two, of the last people to see little somer. are you talking to them at this point? >> yeah, oh i think they have and probably able how they got the proximity where they were from where she was and they -- where she was last seen in front of this vacant house they've been concentrating on. so, most likely they have mike. it's very very difficult. you know, they may go back later on after you know, after they've had some time to think about things and ask additional questions as the case develops but i think, you know today we know the autopsy was done, law enforcement is holding their cards extremely, extremely close to the vest in this one not telling what the cause of death is. you know what, i don't have a problem with that. do we need to know? absolutely not. is it paramount to the investigation none of this gets out, it is absolutely. >> real quick back to natisha what is the number of sex

offenders interviewed in that area and are they all in the clear at this point or just for now? >> mike, they have all been interviewed. i'm not going to say they are all in the clear because nobody has been cleared in this case but they have all been interviewed. five were outstanding but they did get those interviews face to face as well as searching their homes as well as speaking to their family members and able to egg locate those five people. all have been spoken to and locateded saying it is 90-plus sex offenders in a five-mile radius in this area. natisha, what are the funeral arrangements, p public memorial, is there going to be a public mellial? >> funeral arrangements were made today. it's being donated to the family. and, as far as a public memorial, don't think it's going to be a public memorial however there is going to be a procession with the family the wake will be monday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and the funeral tuesday morning at 11:00 a.m. >> natisha mike, we appreciate

convalescing. she's walking and talking and she's -- >> is she going to be okay? >> well, we don't know for sure. >> don't know. >> i mean she's definitely going to survive this and, frankly, every day she seems to do a little bit better than the past but she's going to be seen by a number of doctors and neurologists and neuropsychologists. one of our biggest concerns she suffered brain injury. she had respiratory arrest. at best we can figure out at this point, she was -- went for well over an hour without medical care before they could actually get her to the hospital. >> wow. okay. what can you tell us what -- has she told but what happened inside that sweat lodge? >> well basically the sweat lodge experience itself -- you know, i -- i think i should back up just a little bit. >> yeah. >> these people had just completed a 36-hour-plus vision

quest. in other words, they were taken out in the desert alone without water or food and left there on tuesday night until thursday morning. they were brought back to the facility given a very short breakfast and then rushed into lectures that they sat in -- down and listened to for most of the rest of the day. they all thought that at the end of the lectures they were done. but at the conclusion of that, mr. ray said i have a surprise for you. we're going to do a sweat lodge experience. you have 15 minutes to go back to your rooms change your clothes and meet me out front. they then went into the sweat lodge. they were told just prior to going in that the purpose was to have an altered mind experience, that they were likely to experience fiscal distress. that that was expected and

intended and that they needed to endure that, they needed to, as he likes to say all the time, play full on, break your barriers, the way to have the experience you need is to stick it out. they went inside. she was in the very back row. >> she was in the back row. >> right. up against the wall of the tent or -- or sweat lodge. opposite -- not directly opposite but fairly well opposite the one door in the lodge, which was covered with a -- with a flap. >> ted, let me stop you there. we've got the pictures. when we come back we'll get to the details of what happened to his client. again, she had major organ failure. we'll pick up the story after a break.

use welcome back to "prime news" on hln continuing our conversation hearing another account of what went on inside the sweat lodge led by self-help guru james arthur ray contributor to the book "the secret" a spiritual retreat turned deadly. we want to know what happened. we are finding out. we have with us ted schmidt. he is lawyer of sydney spencer who was inside that sweat lodge giving his account. we have a doctor with us telling us what happens to the body with things get hot and also with us eric chase i know you've bin patient, thanks. we hear this account eric. most people hear all this and say, come on james arthur ray set the table for this tragedy. how are you going to defend him? >> first, we have to separate into two parts the criminal part and the civil part. in terms of the criminal part and what happened in the sweat lodge, i don't think there is going to be any criminal liability. >> you don't? >> i don't think for a

manslaughter charge or any type of criminal charge you at least have to proceed in the face of a known risk of possible death. i think he was just stupid and stupid does not translate into being criminally responsible. look these people all had an option, all acting voluntarily. they could have left if they wanted to. they were just as stupid about what could happen in this horrible environment as he was. so in terms of criminal responsibility, different if you sued for money but for criminal responsibility, i just don't think there is going to be any. >> but civil, there's going to be good cases is that what you're saying. >> absolutely. they put their trust in him and ht contract with him, in terms of civil liability, i would be very concerned for him and his estate. >> ted schmitt, can you comment on that on a criminal level? these deaths are looked at as a homicide. >> right. >> as homicides plural. do you see criminal charges coming? >> i am not an expert in criminal law. i am a civil lawyer. >> okay. >> but i will tell you, based

on what we just heard that what the -- i understand the sheriff is attempting to develop is the fact that he had had sweat lodge experiences in the past where people had passed out and he had some -- he actually did have some knowledge there was a danger. whether they're able to prove he had knowledge this was life threatening, i'm not sure. >> okay. back to eric. on that front eric, we have all these people from a lot of experts we've talked to in these sweat lodges way too many people, 55 to 65 and only one nurse on hand. is that something to where you could build a case of negligence against him. >> certainly it was an awful situation. i will tell where you there may be criminal responsibility, that's what happened after people left the sweat lodge. from what i've read some people could have been helped by other participants and what he called his dream team his assistant, they were not allowing the assistance to be given t. looked like they were protecting their own pocketbooks as it were their own program and weren't interested in protecting the

people put at risk. that could give rise to criminal -- >> we heard that account from beverly bunn yesterday, she works in the dental field, trained medically and she wanted to help but, as you used the term part of his dream team would not let her. you make a good point there. ted, before we let you go does your client, sydney have any account of what happened outside as we know now people were dying around her outside of that sweat lodge? >> she was -- she didn't regain consciousness until she was in the hospital. >> okay. >> but, she has pone to the woman that drug her out of there and that woman said that she was foaming at the mouth convulsing and her eyes were rolled back in her head. >> before we go, doctor, how quick does this get dangerous slash deadly when it gets that hot in there and there's no circulation of air? >> sure. well it's a difficult question. i guess the people by the window did better but once your body temperature gets above 103 104, you are at risk for seizures, sounds like what she was already

experiencing when they found her in the hospital. >> okay. we have to leave it there. we'll continue to follow this story. we appreciate it, guys. coming up another disturbing story, football star jasper howard murdered. uconn students he was murdered outside of a dance, 300 students went to this dance. so somebody saw something but potential witnesses are being bullied online, threatened about snitching. are they not telling what could bring this young man justice? we'll take your calls 1-877-tell-hln.

welcome back. football star at the university of connecticut murdered in a crowd of 300 people and now

there are violent threats popping up online to stop witnesses from going to the cops. here's just one of the threats. quoting here stop snitching for the love of god make the cops do their jobs. jazz, talking about jasper howard here, didn't deserve to die and the person who killed him didn't intend to kill him. anyone who snitched should face the social consequences. some of those consequences spelled out, stabbed, mugged beatsen for talking to the cops un unbelievable unbelievable. someone even posted a threat on his memorial page. his mom and dad want justice and you're going to go to a website and threaten those who might help bring justice on a facebook page unbelievable. joining us to talk about it welcome back hln analyst mike brooks and also kate monahan, reporter for "the daily campus" let's be clear, 300 people at the dance. we're not sure how many people saw but you figure somebody saw something. are authorities at this point

frustrated because of no one is coming forward? >> reporter: well, i think from what i've -- from what i've gathered talking to them that it's been a little frustrating because, as we've learned, there's -- the police have said that there's evidence out there videographic and photographic that they know exists that hasn't been brought to them yet and because they've been reaching out saying we know there's evidence out there we just don't have it yet i'm sure they must be frustrated they are not getting all the information from that night to maybe clear this this up. >> where are these threats popping up facebook or where else, kate. >> just a few but one of the threats taken down on the r.i.p. jasper howard group and another on a uconn students blog, a comment on a video he had done of student reaction to the tragedy and both of those

were pretty strongly worded threats, specifically mentioned violence and seemed as though the people were not -- they were outsiders, which we do know the people involved in this could be non-uconn students. the police believe that it's non-uconn students and uconn students were involved in the fight. >> you mentioned facebook. here's just a, a disturbing post on facebook again this is posted on a page honoring jasper howard and it's pretty rough we had to do a lot of editing but you'll get the gist it's basically blank the snitches, i know you, js per howard would not be down with that. this needs to be a lesson for all of uconn, you will be stabbed, shot, mugged or beaten for blanking around. kate, have you talked to anybody, a potential witness intimidated by in and keeping quiet at this point? >> reporter: you know, i haven't found anyone to specifically say -- to point to these as the

causes for not coming forward. but, i have reached out to people, to shoot them an e-mail or a facebook message or something like that to try and get ahold of them if it seemed like they were a witness and some people specifically said, no, i haven't talked to police and wouldn't say why. so i guess i'm kind of going on limited information on what people's motives are or maybe they just think maybe i didn't see that much or, you know, something like that but i think we need to see this as a possibility for maybe why people aren't coming forward. >> right. kate, let me ask you this then i'll get mike in on the conversation. have you been threatened? do you feel threatened by bringing this piece of the story to light? >> you haven't personally. but, i feel like it is the kind of thing where, um you know, it is a little intimidating because if there are these people out there that are you know, feel this vehemently about this situation, you know, obviously, i do worry a little bit about, you know my safety or other people's safety.

but, i'm happy the police have gone on to say if you have fears about coming forward, you know, you can relay that to them and they can help protect you in any way possible and that includes being anonymous when you call in for tips. >> kate we applaud your bravery, by the way, to bring this forward. let's bring in mike brooks hln law enforcement analysis. how much of a problem is this eyewitness going silent because of this garbage, threats online snenchts mike, it's a problem. it's a problem in the public on homicide scenes around cities. i mean, i used to do canvasses all the time nah, i don't want to say anything because they he were afraid. they were intimidated because people come and say you didn't see anything did you? no i didn't see anything but. these people saying don't snitch, they're the cowards, mike. they are the ones who are really the cowards. and, you know what please keep sending them to facebook keep sending them to different blogs because law enforcement can find you.

you can run but can't hide. >> can they be traced? >> absolutely mike. i'm not going to say how, okay but they can be. could there be possible charges if these are people who did see something and are intimidating? absolutely. tampering with a witness obstruction of justice, threats across the internet. when they start -- when the internet started becoming more popular, as big as it is now, it used to be threat to cross the phone, same kind of things, mike use of interstate commerce. >> okay. >> if it gets bad enough and the fbi gets involved you know, because they'll find a way to get involved if it goes from state to state, they could also face federal charges possibly. >> kathy from massachusetts, go ahead. >> caller: hey mike how are you doing? >> good kathy. >> caller: these low-life cowards making those threats to the people they really ought to be shot, i'm sorry. but their only power is by threatening people. and when people talk to the police and they can do it anonymously, they should help

the police because the police deserves the public's help to close cases such as this to get justice for the family. >> exactly. i mean this is -- you look at jasper howard described as a great young man father to be a team captain, just received the game ball after a big win over louisville. mike, talk about that. i mean, police can protect people who feel. >> sure. >> they might be threatened and can bring their anonymous information forward, right. >> absolutely. you know, sometimes they set up different programs where you just call in and you're a number, a crime stoppers prom. you don't have to give a name. they assign you a number and contact you that way. no you don't have to give your name. and there are you know, tips you can call into the tip number we are showing right now, mike. you don't have to give your name. but, that's the problem. i mean it's really an epidemic out there. people don't want to get involved. you know, this poor guy, he left miami to escape the violence and what happens to him in connecticut? >> kate are police continually

on a daily basis reaching out to the students to please tell us something? >> pretty regularly uconn students get e-mail updates from the police on how the investigation is going. but, i don't think in the last day or so we've received too much more. so it's sort of, i don't know how things are progressing but i haven't heard too many new developments. >> kate, again thank you for your bravery. mike always good talking to you, as well. coming up, remember shaft richard roundtree his biggest movie role in the '70s? he was the man back then. well now he's facing breast cancer. it's coming up in "what matters." >> how y'all doing my name is wyclef jean at the first annual cnn tribute show i had the honor of prochling to recognize the works of everyday citizens

changing the world. as founder of an organization which seeks to improve lives in my native country i am thrilled to help cnn introduce this year's top ten honorees, now more than of the world needs heroes. >> after katrina, life is tough for a kid. you have violence, the drug life. i'm just tired of it. my aim is to get kids off the streets. my name is derrick tabb and i started a free music program for kids of new orleans. let's go, horns up. we do more than just teach music. we offer transportation. we offer instruments. i feed you so you're for the hungry right? give you tutoring. i call it the no excuse policy. you have no excuse where you aren't here. you don't have any experience. press down on it. just like that we meet five days a week year around constantly learning something new. that's what keep the kids coming

back every day. >> i don't say i'm saving lives i say i'm giving life a whole different life of music.

all right, everybody knows shaft, richard roundtree made the character famous 1970, suave, gun-totes slick talking detective now a breast cancer survivor. richelle carey had a chance to sit down and talk with him. >> you've gotten from it being devastating to being a survivor to now calling it a back-handed blessing. >> yes. >> what was that journey? how did you get there? >> quite interesting what

happened. five years later when i was diagnosed as a survivor, i didn't say anything about it until that time until i was over that hump, that five-year hump. and i was at a golf tournament in north carolina wilmington, north carolina. and the beauty of this event is that every year you get to see where the proceeds from the previous year went. and this particular year they were raising money to buy a vehicle to go out, outside of the city and test people. and i said that's incredible. i mean people were get free examinations and whatnot and it's much needed. being a survivor myself and the shock on everyone's face. yes, i am a breast cancer survivor. well that was an eye-opener. you know i said i should start talking about this. and the so many men

have come up to me and said you know, as a result of reading your story, i went and got tested and i got an early diagnosis and i'm a survivor as well. and those stories, i characterize it as a backhanded blessing, because if "shaft" can survive it it's a good thing. and men are being tested. raising the awareness level that breast cancer is not gender specific. >> absolutely. not only survive it but clearly i think there's a certain type of man that will listen to you that won't listen to anybody else. >> i say in my speaking when the doctor told me that i had breast cancer, i said that's something that women -- i thought that was only something that a woman could get, and not something a man could get. and certainly not something i

can get. i mean, we're all talking about "shaft" up in here. >> yes, we are. well said. well said. well, "shaft," mr. richard roundtree, thank you for sharing your story with us. i think people really perk up and listen and they need to hear this message. and keep on being a hypochondriac if that's what you need to do. we appreciate it. for more of "what matters," check out the november issue of essence magazine, or you can always go to cnn.com/what matters.
