welcome back. we continue our conversation. authorities still, we are still baffled. where is morgan harrington? jane tech student went to a metallica concert, ended up outside the arena and has not been seen since. joining us to talk about it someone who has covered this extensively. senior editor for "the hook" courtney stuart. thanks for being with us. all right. right before we mentioned that there was someone coming forward who saw her before the concert started. i believe his name is dave gardner. what is he saying about courtney's -- excuse me -- morgan's mood and what was going on before the concert with her?

>> well, i have not personally spoken with mr. gardner. i've left him some messages and haven't been able to get him but from the accounts that i have read and from what i understand he parked next to morgan and her friends and had some chance to interact with morgan but not the other people in her car prior to going in and his description of her was that she was enthu enthusiast enthusiastic, really excited about the show, saying we're here to see metallica. he said it didn't really appear they were tailgating or doing anything at the car, she just looked like a girl that was ready to go see a show and have a good time. >> and you get the sense from what he is saying that there was no real partying going on, alcohol, anything like that. she was just excited to see metallica, right? >> well, he didn't see anything that suggested it and her behavior to him did not suggest, but, you know, i don't have any first-hand knowledge of what they were doing prior to arriving or anything but his description does not suggest that they were out in the

parking lot tailgating. >> so he's a witness that sees her before hand. are any witnesses coming forward who saw her after she ends up outside the arena for that 50-minute window? >> there are several people who have come forward and i have talked to several people who saw her not only when she was outside but after she was separated from her friends and both inside and outside the arena people did see her in that period of time that the police are calling critical because it's after she left her friends and then, you know, she ended up outside and then of course vanished. >> what are they saying? >> those people, you know, have had some things they noticed. >> anything specifically you want to tell us? >> yeah. today, something that i've been hearing, over the last few days, was that she had an injury to her face. and that there was some blood. i had been told it was on her chin. the people that i was hearing it from were not interested in going on the record or being the

source of that and so it wasn't until i got confirmation from the police that i felt that was something i was comfortable reporting. but they did confirm that, yes, she did sustain some kind of injury. they said it was minor. they did not believe it would have been something that would have been sustained in like an attack or assault. that it looked consistent with the fall, perhaps. so that -- but that is a new detail that's just come out today and, you know, provides another tiny piece of the puzzle to what was going on when she was no longer with her friends. >> exactly. well, i'm sure we'll be picking up on that detail. courtney stuart, thanks again. we appreciate your insight as we hope, again, to hope and pray for morgan's safe return. thank you. coming up the king of pop's final bow. will this bring -- this is it -- will this bring michael fans closure?

hello. i'm richard branson. last year i had the honor of serving on the panel that selected the cnn heroes of 2008, these every day citizens who are changing the world are recognized during "cnn heroes an all star tribute." as founder of an organization which tackles global problems i'm thrilled to help cnn introduce one of this year's top ten honorees. now more than ever the world needs heroes. >> in zimbabwe ten girls per day they are raped. they need an advocate to help them break the silence. i founded an organization that rescues girls from abuse. when a girl gets to the villages she is provided with emergency medication, reinstatement in school, as well as counseling.

it gives them the confidence to transform from victims to leaders. >> say no! >> this is the job i have always wanted to do. it gives me a fulfillment and in girls i see myself every day.

this is it. michael jackson's final bow debuted this week all around the world. this is a documentary that highlights the final rehearsals leading up to jackson's last concerts in london. that was supposed to happen but we all know he died before the tour ever opened. so will this much anticipated movie finally bring closure for fans? joining me now, the entertainment reporter for the associated press. she's seen the movie. my first question has to be, what did you think of it? >> i loved the movie and i'm not a huge michael jackson fan. the movie was fantastic. the concerts would have been amazing had he lived. he was extremely musically inclined, could dance like he was 25 years old, very impressive. >> all right. we've heard from some family members who seem to be really excited about it, glad there is this movie.

we've heard not quite the same thing from la toya and from joe. is the family united behind this movie or not? >> the family is not united behind this movie. of course, joe jackson has spoken out about the movie a ton but he did say after seeing the movie in las vegas, he went to the premiere there, that it did provide some closure and he was happy to see his son up there doing his thing, showing his gift to the world. they're divided somewhat. >> and what is it that la toya was saying before she even saw the entire movie? some things that sound a little off, alicia. >> they were making all kinds of crazy allegations saying there were body doubles used, saying that wasn't really michael jackson. i mean, the allegations went on and on and on. sony then put out a release saying, no. this is absolutely michael jackson. he was filming this for his personal library and this is now a gift to his fans. >> and speaking of the fans, how do you think the fans are processing it? we know one of his more famous fans, liz taylor, went twitter crazy. she sent out i think 30 tweets

saying you've got to see this movie. you owe it to yourself. what do you think this is going to mean for fans? >> the fans are absolutely going to love this movie. i saw it in new york the night that it premiered and the whole movie theater was shut down. they were only showing "this is it." there were a lot of press people there but the other half was fans. the fans were clapping during the movie. they were going crazy. and as you said, liz taylor tweeted about it. the fans went out there. they're tweeting, it's gone viral, everybody loves it. >> this is supposed to be a limited release. it's already made a ton of money. you know the business. do you think it's going to end up running longer than that or at the very least, at least come out on dvd, something? >> i think it's going to do both. a, i think it will run longer because it is making a lot of money. it's already made $22 million just in three days and absolutely there is going to be a huge dvd release with bonus scenes. this is a cash cow and i think they'll milk it to the end. >> cash cow. we're just about out of time. remind people where this money is supposed to go. >> to the children. it's going to michael jackson's

estate. at the end of the day the children are supposed to benefit from this. >> okay. alicia, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> i want to remind you we have a very exciting special coming up for you next. it's called "black men in the age of president obama" and i sit down with some prominent men in the african-american community including actor and author hill harper and harvard professor dr. pousant. catch each interview starting monday during the 4:00 hour and check out the november issue of "essence" magazine or log on to cnn.com/what matters. >> our thanks, richelle. coming up we'll update you on a story of a mom who died trying to win a wee system. it was a radio contest called hold your wee for a nintendo wee. it was an irresponsible contest. that's what a jury is -- basically that was their ruling is they awarded the family over $16 million. we'll talk to jennifer strange's grieving mom coming up.

ladonna redmond is on a mission. we met her two years ago right here in one of the toughest neighborhoods in chicago. it's the last place you'd expect to find a garden. that's exactly what she showed me. >> reporter: what are we growing in here? >> any number of things. those are collard greens on the far aisle. >> redmond led an effort to start what she calls urban farm sites. why? because no matter how hard she tried she couldn't find any fresh produce in the neighborhood. >> if you wanted to you could buy illegal drugs. you can get access to a variety of illegal drugs. if you wanted to buy a gun you could in this community but if you wanted to find an organic tomato in this community, if you

didn't want to come to our urban farm site you wouldn't be able to find one. >> reporter: with few grocery stores nearby most people do their shopping at convenience stores like this one except they're full of chips, sugar drinks, and candy. according to a new study from the journal pediatrics shopping at these convenience stores is part of what's making our kids fat. researchers talked to more than 800 kids outside convenience stores and found that on average they were eating 356 empty calories at every stop. >> what are you guys buying in there? >> chips. >> chips? >> candy. >> reporter: but in lower income minority communities, like this one, where high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity run rampant, redmond says we can't afford to ignore the issue. >> there has to be an insistence that healthy living and a healthy lifestyle is a must. >> reporter: so now two years after we first met her, ladonna is adding store owner to her list of professions. our project really tries to bring healthy lifestyles to the

hip hop generation. >> reporter: all in the hopes she can change the tide in the ever growing storm of obesity. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn reporting. now an update on this story. huge judgment more than $16 million to a widower and his children. a young mother dies from water intoxication after drinking, just lots and lots of water over a three-hour period as part of a radio station stunt. it was a contest titled hold your wee for a nintendo wee. the contestants weren't allowed to go to the restroom or vomit. that would disqualify them. the victim's husband and family attorney just overcome with emotion after the verdict. >> i'm very thankful and appreciative that the jurors took their time and that they held appropriate people accountable. >> from our perspective, we're very gratified with what the jury did. the number that they determined is by definition a fair and

reasonable number. >> now, the dejays were fired so we want to be clear here. the dejays were not held responsible. the parent company to the radio station held responsible. joining me to talk about this the victim's mom. also joining us, her attorney. we want to thank you both. nina, obviously nothing can replace jennifer but what was your reaction to the verdict when it was read? >> i was very happy with the time the jurors took in this case. they didn't rush through it. people kept asking me what's taking so long. what's taking so long. and i said, you know, they have a lot to think about. they didn't know my daughter like i knew her, like her family knew her. her friends. and each of us that testified there had to paint the picture of jen, what kind of wonderful,

outstanding, caring daughter, wife, mother that she was. and hope and pray that the testimony we gave gave them some kind of feel for the type of person jennifer was and that she would have never done anything to put her life in jeopardy, to not be there to spend every day with her children that she cherished more than anything else. >> nina, do you think it was just that, that your daughter didn't realize what she was getting into, that it could be dangerous and fatal? >> absolutely. absolutely. she would never have done anything to put her life in jeopardy. >> did you know she was going to be a part of this? did she talk to you about the contest before hand? >> just briefly. she mentioned it. didn't have any details because i understood she didn't have any details at the time.

so, you know? you would think that somebody that's holding a contest or promoting something such as this would check into everything thoroughly and make sure that there are safeguards in place, that this was something that wouldn't be harmful to people. you know, just check everything out. and they just didn't do it. >> i couldn't agree more, nina. as we've covered this story. and i want to bring in roger. is that what it came down to, that this station didn't monitor what their employees were doing and that they were bringing forth this contest that was so dangerous? >> well, it's a combination of not monitoring but also not even enforcing rules that they had in place, not training the on air talent as to what the rules were to be and how they were to comply and they had specific rules not to put people in contests that are dangerous or put them at risk and not to put

contests that were in bad taste. this contest clearly violated all those rules. and we believed from the beginning this case is about responsibility and accountability and we said that at the we said that at the beginning. that's the beauty of the civil process. that we went six weeks where 12 people got all the evidence. not what people read in the newspaper or see in sound bites on tv. and they were able to assess that evidence and determine who was accountable. >> yeah. nina, are you satisfied that the right people paid the right price? the djs ended up getting fired and they were held accountable? >> i am very satisfied that the jury found the way they did. they listened to all the evidence. they fought hard to keep their personal opinions out of it and listen to what the evidence was. and 12 individual people that

didn't know my daughter found in favor of my daughter not being at all responsible for what happened to her. that the right people were found accountable. >> well, you thank you for joining us. roger, you as well. we wish the best for jennifer's children as they try to get past this. thank you again. we'll continue this conversation after the break.
