rest in peace, jasper howard. the snitches -- you'll be shot or beaten. that's where we are. call in. love to hear from you. e-mail us, cnn.com/primenews or text us. start the message with the word, "prime," your chance to be heard. >> controversy, opinion, your point of view. this is "prime news." welcome this is "prime news," i'm mike gal knowles. right now, a quiet street torn apart in search for a child killer. they retrace every step for a 7-year-old walking home from school. she was walking home from school and ends up dead in a garbage heap. guys digging through a dumpster in hazmat suits. neighbors say it's pandemonium. just in to us, those 161 registered sex offenders living nearby not one is being call add suspect at this point.

summer's mom so brave. we heard her yesterday again speaking this morning dena thompson. she's resolute wanting to find who killed her daughter. >> we heard you say that you hope the killer pays. what are you feelings towards this person? >> i hate him. i hate him. >> when you say you hope he pays, what do you think would be adequate payment for this. >> i hope he gets the death penalty. i hope they put him in the cell with someone who can't stand a child pret tore and let them have fun with him. >> the little girl's autopsy is done. the police know the cause of death. they're not letting it out. we ask why are they keeping that under wraps. take your calls 1-877-tellhln.

near mom's home the producer from the "nancy grace slow," and lawson brooks, analyst. any new leads or is everything still centering around that home? >> everything right now, mike, was around that home. i was out there last night until midnight. they were in the full white jump suits, hazmat suits in there doing all types of investigations. a bulldozer was out there late last night. there was heavy debris they needed help moving. there is a construction dumpster. that dumpster has not been sefrmged since the time somer went missing. they're going through the dumpster and through the house. they're doing light testing. if you looked in you could see bright blue and green lights going off. this is standard procedure for an investigation such as this. they're not saying any such physical evidence led them to the house but multiple

witnesses face somer at this house as the last point of her being seen. >> do we know how many people saw her? if this is a residential area this walk home was populated. somebody probably saw something, right? >> absolutely, mike. you would think so. it's a purely residential area. and around and around this area, it's just a neighborhood, just houses. you think somebody had seen something. what they're saying is there's multiple witnesses, not giving a specific number. adult as well as children. there's a park directly across the street. they collected some evidence from that park. they're inside a men's room at that park connected to the park for six minutes last night. we don't know what evidence is collected from there. >> let's bring in mike brooks. hit on both of those -- the first time i've heard of this park at a men's room. let's start there. what would take authorities there? some sort of physical evidence, a trace that summer was there at a point?

>> a good possibility. if they were only there for six minutes, they were probably just in there making sure they cross all of the ts and dotted all of the is. what i find interesting is she was there until midnight and she saw blue lights green lights. we call it alternate light sources where we're working a crime scene. you can also use luminol. you spray that around a house it looks for the presence of blood, even tiny specks of blood spatter. you use alternate light sources also for looking for other things fibers -- certain kind of fibers will glow under an alternate light source. the presence of semen and other bodily fluids to see if they were in the house. there's something that led them to that house. yes, i understand that that's the last vicinity she was seen. but did they find something in the land fill around her that led them back to there that may

be connected with that house? or was it something on her clothes that may have led back to there. but, in the white tyvek suits. they want to have those on to make sure they don't transfer any possible evidence from their clothing to a possible crime scene. >> a quick break. more with mike and naticia coming up. phone calls gene, we'll get to you after the breaks. facebook comments of people trying to come to grips with the brutal tragic death of 7-year-old somer thofrp zorn.

♪ sunshine you make me happy when skies are grey ♪ ♪ you'll never know dear how much i love you ♪ ♪ please don't take my sunshine away ♪ >> heart breaking. that's one of somer's favorite songs, "you are my sunshine." she'll well up with tears for the rest of her life when she hears that song and thinks of her little girl tragically taken so soon, found in a garbage dump. it's awful. i want to read a couple of comments. e-mail from tracy in pennsylvania writing this. it's horrible to think a child in america cannot walk home from school without being afraid of being abducted. it's outrageous. tabby on facebook writing this -- when will these crimes against kids stop? how can anyone hurt an innocent defenseless child?

again, we bring it back to that. a 7-year-old girl walking home from school with a twin brother and sister who they will have scars it rest of their lives through all of this. china with us from connecticut. your thoughts here? not there. okay. take your call, 1-877-tell-hln. do you think investigators have spoke on the the kids. we heard dena thompson say the kids have been faken away from the people around the home. they're the last people to see little somer. >> they have. it's hard to get from the proximity from where she was and 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. they may go back later on after they've had some time to, to think about things and ask

additional questions as the case develops. but today, the autopsy was done. law enforcement is holding their cards 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 that none of this gets out? it is. absolutely. >> real quick i want to go back to niticia. what is the number of sex offenders in that area? are they in the clear at this point or just for now? >> they have all been interviewed. i'm not going to say they're all in the clear. no one has been clear in this case. all interviewed. five were outstanding. they did get the interviews face-to-face as well as searching their homes as well as speaking to their family members. they were able to locate those five people, so all of them have been spoken to and located. they were saying 90-plus sex offenders in a five-mile radius in this area. >> niticia, what are the funeral

arrangements? public memorials? is there going to be a public memorial? oh. >> funeral arrangements were made today. it is being donated to the family. as far as a public memorial. don't think it will be a public memorial. but there will be a procession that with the family the wake is going to be on monday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., then the funeral will be tuesday morning at 11:00 a.m. >> we appreciate it. we'll continue to follow this as we try and find out who killed little som ex-r thompson. coming up, this -- the sweat lodge situation. we're hearing from another woman who survived this horrifying incident. three people have ended up dead. she was between two people that died. we're going to hear her story through her lawyer and we'll take your calls on this at 1-877-tell-hln.

greetings from the twin cities marathon. for the last four months i've been on a campaign to get the best shape of my life by the time i turn 40 years old. it's been tough but i decided to get a checkup on what i'm doing from jillian michaels. >> i don't count calories. i was leaving food on the plate. i was taking smaller portions. really conscious. i was hungry the first few days. >> that's so hard. >> i was hungry. before i got beyond that. >> did you go beyond that physical hunger. i go with volume. the salad this big. >> water. >> fiber, water, nuclear dense, low calorie when i struggle with that. >> thirst is misperceived as hunger. you think you're hungry you're thirsty. >> you're dehydrated.

>> a lot of us walk around with chronic dehydration. we need more water. i studied this like to the core you know fitness, exercise physiology of all of this. but some of the simplest things make the biggest difference. drinking water, pushing the plate away. exercising when i can. >> how are you doing with sleep? sleep affects my hunger levels. >> i won't pass the jillian test on sleep. >> you -- you've got three kids and you're all over the world. how much sleep are you getting and how are you finding that affects you? >> it affects me. if i can get more sleep, i'll be in a better groove. the thing i'm worried about the most now is i've had this inspiring time over the last four months to do this. 40th birthday. an arbitrary milestone at that. how do i make this a habit? >> you're going to the gym every day after work. if you're finding that manageable. if that's not manageable. it becomes okay, if you can't get the fitness in, then you push the plate away, you eat less calories. you make the quality of your

foods count as much as possible. you steal sleep on the plane if that's the only place you can steal it. you have to make time. >> getting the compliment from you today. >> you -- like -- i was like wow, he looks great. let me clarify -- you were hot before and you're hot now. you look like you're just lean and mean. >> i feel great. i really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you so much for your help. >> the key to all of this is to maintain this for the rest of my life and hopefully the rest of yours as well. so we got lots of great tips. cnnhealth.com and twitter@sanjay guptacnn. >> that had to be the most memorable segment he's done in his life. hugs from her and also you have to wonder what was with the blazer over the sweat suit. i'll ask him, get to the bottom of that. now this -- as we cover the story about the sweat lodge, new horrifying

revelations. what went on in arizona. three people dies, we know that. we're hearing from a woman, who was right there sat between two of the people who ended up dead. sydney spencer she had organ failure, liver kidney failure. she lived, lucky to be alive. she has a laurp on right now relaying her account what happened inside that sweat lodge. also joining us eric chase, criminal defense attorney as we look at what could be the defenses of mr. james arthur ray. and also joinings us a critical care surgeon at cornell medical center. we want to talk to the good doctor about what happens in our body in intense heat like that. let's start with ted. how's your client doing? she really went through the ringer, ted. >> she did. she's in intensive care for four days. she's living at her daughter's home convalesceingconvalescing. she's walking and talk inging and

she's -- >> is she going to be okay? >> well we don't know -- >> don't know? >> don't know for sure. she's going to survive this. and frankly, every day she seems to do a little better than the past. but she's going to be seen by a number of doctors and neurologists and neuropsychologists. our biggest concern is she had brain injury. she had respiratory arrest. as far as we can figure out is she went well over an hour without medical care before they could get her to the hospital. >> what can you tell us? what has she told you about what happened inside that sweat lodge? >> well basically the sweat lodge experience itself -- i -- i think i should back up 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 short breakfast and sat in lectures and they sat down and listened to for the rest of the day. they all thought at the end of the lectures they were done. at the conclusion mr. ray said i have a surprise. 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 in to the sweat lodge. they were told just prior to going in that the pump was to have an altered mind experience. they were likely to experience fiscal distress. 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 you're going to have the experience that we need is for you to stick it out. they went inside. she was in the back row. >> she was in the back row. >> right. up against the wall of the tent or sweat lodge opposite -- not directly opposite, but fairly well opposite the one door in the lodge, which was -- >> okay. >> covered with a -- a flap. >> ted let me stop you there. we've got the picture. when we come back we'll get to the details of what happened. his client again, had major organ failure. pick up the story after a break.

welcome back to "prime news" continuing the conversation as we hear another account of what went on in the sweat lodge led by self-help guru james arthur ray author of the book "the secret." this is a spiritual retreat. it turned deadly. we want to know what happened. we're finding out. ted smith, sydney spencer is inside the sweat lodge getting his account. telling us what happens to the body. and eric chase a criminal defense attorney. you're patient thanks. we hear this account and people say, come on james arthur ray set the table for this tragedy. how are you going to defend it? oh. >> we have to separate it in to two parts. the criminal part and the civil part. in terms of the criminal part and what happen in the sweat lodge, i don't think there will be any criminal liability.

>> you don't think? >> for any kind of criminal charge, you have to proceed in the face of a known risk of possible death. i think he was just stupid. stupid does not translate to being criminally responsible. these people had an option they were 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, which is different than if you sued for money. but in criminal responsibility i don't think there will be any. >> civil, there'll be good cases, is that what you're saying? >> absolutely. they put their trust in him contract with him. civil liability, i would be concerned for him and his estate. >> can you comment on that on a criminal level? these deaths are being looked at as a homicide -- homicide plural. do you see criminal charges coming? >> i'm not an expert in criminal law. i am a civil lawyer. but i will tell you based on what we just heard that what 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 did have some knowledge there was a danger. whether they're able to prove he had knowledge that this is life threatening, i'm not sure. >> let's go back to eric. on that front, we have all these people -- a lot of experts we talked to in the 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 james arthur ray. >> where there may be a possibility of criminal responsibility. when they wanted to leave the sweat lodge. his dream team, the assistants were not allowing the assistance to be given, they were protecting their own pocketbook,

the program and not interested in the people put at risk. >> we heard that account yesterday. she works in the field. she's trained medically. she wanted to help. but as you use the term a 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 didn't regain consciousness until she was in the hospital. but she has spoken to the woman who drug her out of there and that woman said 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/deadly when it gets that hot in there and there's no circulation of air? >> well, it's a difficult question. i guess the people by the window did better.

>> . >> we'll have to leave it there. we appreciate it, guys. a disturbing story. football star, jasper howard, murdered. uconn students murdered outside of a dance. 300 students went to this dance. someone saw something. potential witnesses are bullied on-line, threatened about snitching. are they not telling what could bring this young man justice? we'll take your calls, 1-8 77-tell hln.

welcome back, a football star in the university of connecticut murdered in a crowd of 300 people. violent threats are popping up on-line to stop witnesses from going to the cops.

here's one of the threats. stop snitching -- for the love of god, make the cops do their jobs. jazz 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. and some of those consequences spelled out -- stabbed mugged, beaten for talking to the cops. unbelievable. someone posted a threat on the victim's memorial webpage a place to remember and honor jasper howard, pay tribute. his mom and dad want justice and you're going to go to the website and threaten those who might bring justice. facebook page. unbelievable. welcome back hln law enforcement officer and kate monihan reporter for uconn's newspaper the daily campus. 300 people were at the dance. we're not sure how many people saw -- you figure somebody saw something. are authorities at this point frustrated because no one is coming forward? >> well, i think from what i've -- from what i've gathered

talking to them that it's been a little frustrating because the police have learned there's evidence out there photographic evidence that they know has not been brought to them yet. so i think because they've been reaching out and saying there's evidence out there and we just don't have it yet, i'm sure they must be getting frustrated for not getting all of the information from that night. >> where are these threats coming -- where are they popping up? facebook, where else kate? >> well there have just been a few. but one of the addresses taken down was on the rip jasper howard failbook group. and another one was on a uconn student blog a blog, a comment on a video he'd done, a student reaction to the tragedy. and both of those were not threat and specifically mentioned violence and seemed as

though they were outsiders. we know the people involved with this could be nonuconn. the police believe it's non-uconn students and uconn students involve in the fight. >> you mention facebook. here's a disturbing post on facebook. again, this is posted on a page honoring jasper howard. and it's pretty -- it's rough. we had to do a lot of editing. but you get the gist of it. it's basically blank the snitches. i know you, jasper 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 who is intimidated by this, who is keeping quiet at this point. >> you know what happens is anyone specifically points to the causes for not coming forward. but i have reached out to people shoot them an e-mail or

a facebook message or something like that to get ahold of that if it seemed they were a witness. some people specifically said no, i haven't talked to police and they wouldn't say why. so i guess like i'm kind of going on a limited information on what people's motives are or do they think maybe i didn't see that much or something like that. but i think we need to see this as a possibility of why people aren't coming forward. >> do you feel threatened by bringing this piece of the story to life? >> i haven't personally. but i feel like it's the kind of thing that if there are people out there who feel as vehemently about the situation i worry about other people's safety. but i'm happy that the police have said you know if you have

fears about coming forward, you can relay that and they can protect you including being anonymous when you call in for tips. >> kate, we applaud your bravery, by the way, to bring this forward. bring in mike brooks hln law enforcement analyst. how much of a problem is this? eyewitnesss going silent because of these garbage these threats on line. >> it's a problem. it's a problem in the public on homicide scenes around cities. i mean i used to do canvases all the time. people would say, no i don't want to say anything. they were afraid. they were intimidated because people come and say you didn't see anything, did you? no, i didn't see anything. but the people saying, don't snitch they're the cowards, mike. they're the ones who are the cowards. and you know what? please keep sending them to facebook and different blogs. because law enforcement can find you. you can run but you can't hide. >> can they be traced. >> absolutely, mike. not going to say how, okay. but they can be.

could there be jarnlgs for these people? absolutely. tampering with a witness. obstruction of justice. threats across the internet. the internet started to become more popular as it is now used to be threat to cross the phone use of interstate commerce. if it gets bad enough and the fbi gets involved, because they'll find a way to get involved if it goes from state to state, they can face federal charges. possible. >> get a call in. kathy is with us in massachusetts. go ahead. >> hey, mike, how are you doing? >> good. >> these low life cowards making the threats to the people. they ought to be shot. i'm sorry. their only power is by threatening people. if people talk to the police, they can do it anonymously, they should have the police. the police deserve the public health, to close cases to get justice for the family. >> exactly.

you look at jasper howard. describes a great young man, father to be team captain received a game ball after a big win over louisville. so, mike, talk about that. police can protect people who might be a little threatn't. >> absolutely. sometimes you don't have to give a name. they assign you a number and they contact you that way. you don't have to give your name. and so there are tips you can call in to this tip number we're showing right now, mike and you don't have to give your name. that's the problem. it's a -- it's an epidemic of people who do not want to be involved. he left that environment and thought he escaped to that to go

to connecticut. >> do they tell you anything? oh. >> pretty regularly. the uconn students get update from police on how it's going. 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. >> thank you for your bravery. mike, always good talking to you as well. coming up shaft -- richard roundtree, the biggest movie role in the '70s? this guy was the man back them. now he's facing breast cancer. it's coming up in "what matters matters." at the first annual cnn heroes show, i had the honor of performing and recognizing the great works of everyday citizens changing the world. as a founder of an organization which seeks to improve lives in my native country i'm thrilled

to help cnn introduce one of this year's top ten honorees. now more than ever, the world needs heros. >> life after katrina is really hard for a kid. you have the violence, the drug life. just tired of it. my aim is to get kids off of the streets. my name is derek tab and i started a free music education program for the kids in new orleans. let's go horns up. we do more than just teach music. we offer transportation, instruments, i feed you so you're not hungry, right? give you tutoring. the no-excuse policy. you have no excuse why you're not here. don't have to have any experience. press down on it just like that. we meet five days a week year round. we're learning something new. that's what keeps the kids coming back every day. [ playing "when the saints go marching in" ]

>> i almost said i'm saving lives. a whole different life of music.

everybody knows shaft, richard roundtree, swan he's also a detective. now he's a breast cancer survivor. >> you gotten from it being devastating to being a survivor to now calling it a backhanded blessing. >> yes. >> what was that journey? how did you get there?

. >> quite interesting what happened. five years ago when i was diagnosed as a breast cancer survivor, i didn't say anything about it until i was over that five-year hump. i was at a golf tournament in north carolina -- wilmington north carolina. and the beauty of this city event is every year you get to see where the proceeds of the previous year went. and this particular year, they were raising money to buy a vehicle to go outside of the city and test people. people can get free examinations and what not, what's needed. being the survivor myself and the shock on everyone's face -- yes, i am a breast cancer survivor.

that was an eye opener. i thought, i should start talking about this. the feedback -- so many men have come up to me and said, you know, vumt of reading your story, i went and got tested and i got early diagnosis and i've survived -- 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. men are being tested. and they're raising the awareness level that breast cancer is not genter specific. >> not only survive it but there's a certain type of man that will listen to you and won't listen to anybody else. >> i say in speaking -- when the doctor told me i had breast

cancer, i said that's only that a woman could get and not something a man can get and certainly not something that i can get. we are talking about shaft up in here. >> yes, we are. well said. shaft, mr. richard round tree, thank you for sharing your story with us. people perk up and listen. 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 issue of essence magazine or go to cnn.com/whatmatters.

looks like another member of the hene family may be admitting that their balloon boy stunt may be a hoax. what the mother told authorities. one pilot of a plane that overshot the airport by 450 miles is speaking up. hear what he says about speculation that the crew fell asleep in midair. >> i said enough, i give you

$200. i hold the gun and push -- push like this. >> in the blink of an eye, a quick-thinking convenience store clerk goes from victim to hero, why police are saying you should never try what he did. you're watching hln on this saturday. i'm natascha curry. thanks for spending part of your weekend with us. two days after the military scrambled to find a boy said to be trap in a balloon, the boy's mother apparently told authorities the whole thing was a hoax. court documents said mayumi heene told investigators knew that their son falcon was hiding the entire time. the heenes told their children to lie to authorities and the media about it. >> i really do hope that cooler heads prevail. this really does seem like the misdemeanor of making a false police report.

i think it's bad thing to tell your children to lie to authorities and lie to meredith vieira and wolf blitzer. that's to be discouraged. but it's a big deal in this country to take children away from their parent ms. based on what i've seen, it's not the case here. >> 100 american banks have failed this year. regulators announced several new closures yesterday including a bank in naples florida. that brought the total to 106 banks. that's four times the number that closed last year. and the highest tally since 1992. yesterday's bank shutdowns are expected to cost the federal deposit insurance fund more than $356 million. they're all regional banks that did not receive hell from the federal government. a proposed bill to fight

global warming would cost you about $100 more a year. that's what the environmental protection agency is saying. it looked to how much the bill would bump up the average home's energy bill. some studies said the increase could be as much as $3,000. the bill is promoting energy not made from fos sit fuels to cut green house gases. senate hearings on the bills could begin next week. last night, neighbors held another vigil for the family of a 7-year-old florida girl who was killed. somer thofrpmpson's neighbors sang "you are my sunshine." they found her body in a georgia land fill on sunday. she had been missing since monday. they ruled out all of the sex offenders who lived near her home. they have not revealed how she died. >> the ntsb is getting off of a cockpit voice recorder from a plane that overshot the

destination by 150 miles. one plane flew from san diego to minneapolis. instead of landing there in minneapolis, it kept going. one pilot is responding to speculation that he fell asleep. tom foreman reports. >> from the time it passed over denver, flight 188 had air traffic controllers in the dark. for an hour and 18 minute there was not one radio call from the plane, not one response to calls from the ground. tonight, one of the pilots said they were not asleep as some have speculated. >> nobody was asleep in the cockpit. and no arguments took place. >> but that leaves plenty of trouble. first, even with this plane traveling out of contact, more than 500 miles per hour for more than an hour military officials have now confirmed to cnn that they were not contacted by the faa until the plane had passed over the city of minneapolis. at that time the military

scrambled to launch at least four fully armed f-16 fighters. but that was so late they never even got off of the ground before the airliner was finally recontacted. passengers like anne croweller who said throughout the process the cabin crew or cockpit gave them no hint of any trouble. that was a curious revelation. >> if any of us knew, the entire flight would be in a complete state of panic. i think it's better that we didn't know. i'm glad they were looking out for us. because i don't think the pilots were. >> for 45 minutes as they shot past their arrival time passengers were told nothing at all. and when the captain finally spoke up again, he said they were just waiting to land. >> we were just completely under the impression that it was just air traffic and that minneapolis

airport was not giving us clearance to land and we were going to fly around until we could do so. >> air traffic controllers aren't sure what they believed. when they last contacted the pilots, the pilots' contacts were so vague they were made to take unnecessary maneuvers to prove it was under their control, not hijacked. the cockpit voice recorder holds information from the last 30 minutes of flight. they are questioning the pilots. both voluntarily took and passed breathalyzer tests. for all of that, the central question remains -- what happened on flight 188. some people saved a driver from a burning pickup just before the truck exploded. take a look at this. somebody recorded that fire with their cell phone camera. the missouri highway patrol says that the truck flipped over -- look at this kept his fire during rush hour yesterday.

several people ran to get the driver out. shortly after that the truck blew up. the driver got out without any major injuries. the swine flu vaccine is in short supply and demand for it is causing long lines in health clinics around the country. but there's plenty of the seasonal flu vaccine to go around. as a result, the government says more americans have gotten their seasonal flu shots than ever before. at least 60 million people so far. the agency said that 46 states now have wide spread flu activity and that so far more than 1,000 deaths are being blamed on the swine flu. is there are some things that you should never try to. do the police in new york say this is one of those things. check out this surveillance video from a gas station here in new york. two men armed with a shotgun tried to run a convenience store clerk only to have him grab the gun away from them. >> i get the gun. the next thing they know they

work its way across florida. so we have mild temperatures there. quite warm in tampa, 86 degrees, and also in miami at 8 6. so eventually, you'll start to see some of this cooler air work its way to the east. but in the meantime, it's really hard to find a cool spot in this almost to last weekend in october. halloween next weekend. that's when it will get colder. if you're looking at great places to find fall foliage, great lakes are in peak color and some of the mountains in and around the appalachians as well. a look at your forecast for hln. i'm meteorologist bonnie schneider. have a great weekend. people are talking about a guy who held up a loan office, then dropped to his knees and prayed with his victim. >> i was in that situation for a reason. and i'm just trying to figure out what that reason is. >> the so-called praying robber is now talking about what drove him to commit the crime.

just two days after police and military scrambled to look for a boy thought to be trapped in a balloon, the boy's mother apparently told authorities that the whole thing was a hoax. court documents released yesterday show that mayumi heene told authorities that she and her husband knew he was hiding if entire time. also say that the heenes told their children or the lie to authorities and the media about it. >> i really do hope that cooler heads prevail. this really does seem like the misdemeanor of making a false police report. i certainly think it's a bad thing to tell your children to lie to the authorities, to tell your children to lie to meredith vieira and wolf blitzer that's to be discouraged. but i also think it's a very big deal in this country to take children away from their parents. and based on what i've seen, this does not rise to that level. >> the heenes supposedly took about two weeks to put the whole

plan together. they could be charged sometime next week. regulators say more than 100 american banks have failed this year. regulators announced several new bank closures yesterday, including in nepals, florida. that brought it to 106 banks. that is more than four times the number that closed last year. and it's the highest tally since 1992. yesterday's bank shutdowns are expected to cost the federal deposit insurance fund more than $356 million. they're all regional banks that did not receive help from the federal government. a proposed bill to fight global warming would cost you about $100 more a year. that's what the environmental protection agency is saying. it listened to how much the bill would bump up an average home's energy bill. some industry studies says the increase could be as much as $3,000. the bill is promoting energy not made from fossil fuels to cut greenhouse gases.

senate hearings on the bill could begin next week. last night neighbors held another vigil for the family of a 7-year-old florida girl who was killed. somer thompson's mother and neighbors sang her favorite song "you are my sunshine." investigators found somer's body in a georgia landfill on wednesday. she'd been missing since monday. police haven't made an arrest yet and they've ruled out all 161 sex offenders who live near her home. they haven't revealed how she died. the ntsb is getting information off a cockpit voice recorder from that plane that overshot its destination by 150 miles. northwest flight 188 flew from san diego to minneapolis, but instead of landing there in minneapolis, it just kept going. now, one pilot is responding to speculation that he fell asleep. tom foreman reports. >> reporter: from the time it passed over denver flight 188 had air traffic controllers in

the dark. for an hour and 18 minutes there was not one radio call from the plane, not one response to calls from the ground. tonight, one of the pilots said they were not asleep as some have speculated. >> nobody was asleep in the cockpit. and no arguments took place. >> reporter: but that leaves plenty of troubling questions. first, even with this plane traveling out of contact more than 500 miles an hour for more than an hour military officials have now confirmed to cnn that they were not contacted by the faa until the plane had passed over the city of minneapolis. at that time the military scrambled to launch at least four fully armed f-16 fighters. but that was so late, they never even got off the ground before the airliner was finally recontacted. passengers like ann croeller in row 20 say throughout the process the cockpit and cabin crew gave them no hint of any

trouble, another curious revelation. >> if any of us had known that was going on i'm sure the entire flight would have been in a complete state of panic. i think it's better we didn't know. but i'm glad that they were at least trying to look out for us because i don't think the pilots were. >> indeed she says, for 45 minutes as they shot past their arrival time, passengers were told nothing at all. and when the captain finally spoke up again he said they were just waiting to land. >> we were just you know completely under the impression that it was just air traffic and that minneapolis airport was not giving us clearance to land and that basically we were going to fly around until they allowed us to do so. and that's what we all believed. >> reporter: air traffic controllers weren't sure what they believed. authorities said when they last recontacted the pilots, the pilots' answers were so vague, they were ordered to take the plane through a series of unnecessary maneuvers to prove it was under their control, not

hijacked. they have seized the cockpit voice recorder even though they believe it holds conversations from the last 30 minutes of flight. and they are questioning the pilots. police say both voluntarily took and passed breathalyzer tests. but the central question remains, what happened on flight 188? some people saved a driver from a burning pickup just before the truck exploded. now, take a look at this. somebody recorded that fire with their cell phone camera. the missouri highway patrol says that the truck flipped over -- look at this, catches fire during rush hour yesterday. several people ran to get the driver out shortly after that, the truck blew up. the driver got out without any major injuries. the swine flu vaccine is in short supply and demand for it is causing long lines at health clinics around the country. but there's plenty of the seasonal flu vaccine to go around. and as a result, the government

says more americans have gotten their seasonal flu shots than ever before. at least 60 million people so far. the agency says that 46 states now have widespread flu activity and so far more than 1,000 deaths are being blamed on the swine flu. you know there's some things you should never try to do. and police in new york say that this is one of those things. check out the surveillance video from the gas station here in new york. two men armed with a shotgun try to rob the convenience store clerk only to have him grab the gun away from them. >> i get the gun and next thing you know -- i say i shoot you now, you're going to shoot me i shoot you. >> the clerk said he was robbed twice before and wasn't going to be a victim again. it's going to be a soggy weekend for some of you. wet weather is moving east. let's check in with bonnie schneider.

>> hi, natasha, that's right. we are looking at wet weather that hit the midwest yesterday, all sliding to the east. you can see it's all a part of this front that is advancing to the east. we are going to see the possibility of heavy downpours. unfortunately in and around new york where we have a big baseball game later on tonight with the yankees and the angels. let's take a look at temperatures. i want to show you, though, we are looking at changes in the forecast. highs today will be very warm in and around phoenix, 90 degrees today. and then further off more towards chicago, it's cooler at 48 degrees, and then as we head further to the east, also still looking pretty comfortable, 60 actually a cooler spot in atlanta. notice the front does not quite work its way across florida. so we have mild temperatures there, quite warm in tampa at 86 degrees, and also in miami at 86. so eventually you'll start to see some of the cooler air work its way to the east. but in the meantime it's really hard to find a cool spot in this almost last weekend in october. halloween will be next weekend

that's when we'll start getting colder. if you're looking for great places to see fall foliage, we're almost in peak color and certainly in some of the mountains in and around the appalachians, as well. that's a look at your forecast for hln. have a great weekend. you know people are still talking about the guy who held up a loan office then dropped to his knees and prayed with his victim. >> i knew i was in this situation for a reason. and i'm just figuring out what that reason is. >> the so-called praying robber is now talking about what drove him to commit the crime. hi there, i'm robin meade, we salute the troops every weekday on morning express with me robin meade. a long awaited visit is coming up for the family of christopher foley and the husband and father of three is coming home from afghanistan for r & r. and his mom wants him to know
