we begin tonight with breaking news in the sudden death of music superstar, michael jackson. more information coming from those search warrants executed in las vegas. we are learning that michael jackson asked a los angeles doctor about the powerful drug propofol months before he died. that doctor said, no way. we will speak with his attorney, live. investigators are, however, closing in on jackson's private doctor, conrad murray. sources confirm he is the focus of a federal investigation. and also tonight, we learn exactly what police were searching for during the los angeles raids on the doctor's home and office.

the search warrants suggest that investigators believe michael jackson was an addict. it was revealed that numerous prescription drugs were seized from michael jackson's home. sources confirmed the records of doctors connected to the superstar have been subpoenaed. also tonight, as the legal battle races on over jackson's billion dollar empire, grandmother katherine jackson and bio mom, debbie rowe, reach a custody deal over jackson's children. >> he really wanted to get a good night's sleep. and he had gone through everything in the past, really didn't help him to sleep. and he wanted the diprivan. >> search warrants seem to imply investigators think michael jackson was an addict. >> the warrant states, it's looking for evidence of demonstrating crimes of excess prescribing and prescribing to an addict and manslaughter. >> this warrant suggests that michael jackson has an immensely complicated pharmaceutical

history and was, in fact, an addict. >> sources close to the investigation tell cnn jackson used 19 different aliases when he wanted prescription drugs. >> they were looking for prescriptions written in all of those names, which include the name of his personal chef, kai chase, and even his own son, prince jackson. >> the third day i was scared. when he came back he said, they're killing me, they're killing me because i'm working too much. also, breaking news in the case of a missing 8-year-old idaho boy. the search growing more desperate as police announce suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance of robert manwill. new evidence is emerging tonight. what happened to 8-year-old robert? 8-year-old robert manwill, missing for a week now from his boise, idaho apartment.

>> the desperate search goes on for this 8-year-old idaho boy that vanished without a trace. cops have been looking through the boy's apartment complex, his mom's place last night. >> investigators from the boise police department, with the assistance of the fbi, have located evidence that may bring us closer to finding out what happened to robert. the evidence we've uncovered shows that there are suspicious circumstances regarding robert's disappearance. >> and we're learning more about an alleged family history of abuse as well, citing court papers. the idaho statesman says that robert's mom is on probation for fracturing his infant half-brother's skull. also, the mom's boyfriend has a criminal record, including burglary and battery. >> at a news conference today, police disclosed they think the boy is hurt, but they didn't elaborate. >> robert is, maybe, injured, but again, robert is still missing. it's very important that we locate robert. >> we want everyone not to give up hope, to continue on

everything that we have done, the searching, the looking. please help us to bring robert home. good evening. i'm jean casarez of the legal network, "in session." in for nancy grace. thank you so much for joining us tonight. the investigation into the sudden death of music superstar michael jackson intensifies. >> we see, in the warrants, in writing that authorities are looking for evidence related to propofol or diprivan. we know from a source that dr. murray gave him that drug within 24 hours of his death. >> the warrants say there's probable cause to say that searches of the home and office of dr. conrad murray would uncover evidence of, quote, crimes of excess. specifically, excessive prescribing, prescribing to or treating an addict, and manslaughter. >> the addict in this case, apparently michael jackson. the key piece of evidence is a cd with the name omar arnold on that. detectives seized that, and i confirmed with a source close to the investigation that jackson used the name omar arnold as an alias to obtain prescription

drugs and to get procedures done without anyone knowing. >> the fact that they are, essentially, saying that michael jackson was an addict makes the prosecution of anybody harder because it suggests that jackson himself was the big initiator of getting all these drugs. >> it was april of 2009 that he asked me for the drug. one drop hit my vein with the i.v., i go to sleep right away. i'm knocked out and i'm asleep. >> let's go out to tom o'neil, senior editor of "in touch weekly." tom, we're learning more about the search warrants that were executed in las vegas, actually three search warrants. they always say the devil is in the details. what more can you tell us? >> what's fascinating, when you compare these search warrants to the ones last week that were involved in houston. last week we had one doctor cited, dr. murray, one possible criminal charge, and that was manslaughter. no propofol was mentioned. this time, we have propofol mentioned, seven doctors are named, one nurse.

we have mention of the 19 aliases, we have mention of michael jackson as an addict, and we have six possible crimes cited here. >> all right. to kelly zinc, host of celebtv.com, there are so many aliases here that they have probable cause, believed that could have been involved in the commission of a crime, that evidence could have been at these locations in las vegas. list for us some of these aliases. >> you've got jack london, got omar arnold, got his chef, kai chase, and one of his sons, prince. >> okay. and many, many more. i mean paul, brian singleton, mike jackson, mike jackson, mike jackson, meaning mooik jackson, m-i-c. it goes on and on. to ellie jostad, nancy grace producer, there was so much they were looking for, but there appears to be a limited amount of things that were actually on the return, or what they collected during the search warrant. explain. >> right. well, we know that they

served -- that they seized images of hard drives from the office. also, a cd that had the name "omar arnold" on it, a green binder with some invoices, medical information. it's unclear what all the paperwork is. and whether or not it will reveal any information regarding propofol, if it was being shipped, if it was being purchased, if it was being prescribed to michael jackson. >> a lot of things for investigators to go through at this point. i want to welcome a very special guest tonight. he is a nationally renowned defense attorney out of los angeles, california, having represented robert blake, roseanne barr, chris barley, steven sagal. answer also represented elizabeth taylor's physician at one point in an overprescribing case. thank you so much for joining us. your client, one of the clients in this case, dr. allan meter is listed and named in this search warrant.

your client went to michael jackson's home several months ago? >> that's correct. he visited michael on april 18th for a social visit. he had been his doctor up until 2003 and visited michael and the children for about an hour and a half. >> and during that visit, you have said that michael jackson discussed propofol. >> yeah. that's correct. he inquired about it and dr. mess ger told him it was dangerous and life threatening and should not be given outside of the hospital. and that was all. dr. metzger prescribed some mild sleeping pills and that was all. >> the timing is interesting. because at that point of time, the tour was being planned. aeg was going to allow michael jackson to have a physician. do you feel at all that michael jackson was maybe interviewing a good friend of his, but also a physician for that position? >> possibly. i mean, he was obviously looking

for someone who would give him this particular drug, so apparently he was shopping around. he had actually seen dr. metzger since 2003, and dr. metzger sort of viewed it as a social acquaintance and visiting his home. he may have been looking around for a physician at that point. dr. metzger does not know dr. murray, never heard of dr. murray, never communicated with dr. murray. >> but i think what we can establish is that michael jackson knew about the drug at that time and was making inquiries about it? >> absolutely. and he knew it was dangerous and knew the circumstances. which creates another issue in terms of the case, in terms of michael jackson being the prime mover in this whole tragedy. >> is it true that the coroner's office subpoenaed records from your client, dr. metzger? >> yes, basically, they just faxed him the subpoena, about a month ago. i talked, i have all the medical records, i talked to the coroner's office, i told them

what we had, and all they wanted was for us to fax five pages to them, basically showing this visit, a couple of earlier phone calls and the last visit where he was actually examining michael which was 2003. >> why do you think your client was listed on the search warrant in terms of alias names and in conjunction with correspondents with one of the seven doctors? >> i think what they did, they were looking for any kind of communications between the doctors and the search warrant listed any possible combination of doctors, which makes a lot of sense. they won't find any communications between dr. murray and dr. metzger, but they certainly had a right to look for them. >> and your thoughts on the investigation so far. the death investigation. dr. conrad murray, five search warrants executed. with your experience, what are your thoughts? >> it's hard to know. the point was made -- they're going to have to prove causation, they're going to have to prove recklessness of some kind. and because it's michael jackson, they're doing a thorough job as humanly

possible. >> all right, mr. harland braun, thank you so much for joining us. this was a very close friend of many in this case, but he had one of the most emotional interviews he says he's ever had in his career for newsone.com. he interviewed joe jackson. take a listen to this. >> if you were in michael's life, would he still be alive today? >> of course. of course. i had told people, friends, if i don't get to michael, he ain't going to be here long. i said that. he won't be us with long. and i called the shots if he -- exactly what had happened. i just didn't like to see him -- as a matter of fact, i wouldn't

go to see him laying up in the casket. i didn't want to remember him like that. i wanted to remember him live and dancing on stage. >> he was your boy. >> he was my son. >> to smoky ton tan, chief editor of newsone.com. you just got this interview with joe jackson. you've done many interviews. we'll talk to you after the break, but first, your summary thoughts on that interview? >> it was one of the most emotional i've ever had. i didn't go in there with any expectations that joe jackson would let his guard down. he did with me. it was a two-hour interview. the harder questions came at the end of our two-hour session and i met a remorseful father. i met a man in pain, who was coming to try to come to grips with losing a son. many of us have underestimated the role joe jackson played in

michael's life. and the family's live in a positive way. we've talked about the drama and negative allegations, but this is a man who lost his son that he invested and almost sacrificed his whole life for, and that was the man i saw in my interview.

hot off the presses, the search warrant and return for the raid on the las vegas home and office of dr. conrad murray. that, of course, the doctor who was with michael jackson the day he died. >> the warrants say there's probable cause to believe searches of the office and home of dr. conrad murray, jackson's personal doctor, would uncover evidence of, quote, crimes of excess, specifically excessive

prescribing, prescribing to or treating an addict, and manslaughter. >> at least this search warrant gives us a few facts, and a few significant phrases like, they were looking for evidence of finding drugs that had been used or given to an addict. >> the warrants say investigators were specifically looking for shipping orders, records related to the transfer, receiving, order, delivery or storage of diprivan. >> the key thing to remember about dr. murray, is that he was only michael jackson's doctor for about two months. >> i don't know what his experience has been with diprivan, i don't want know how many people he's given it to, how he's administered it, but they're going to say conrad murray injected him and it was gross negligence for him to do that and there's the manslaughter charge. >> what is the legacy of the jacksons? what does it mean to be a jackson? >> to me, to be a jackson, it's the jackson name, you know. because my father, my father carried the name. we were the only one who had the

[ inaudible ], we back there in i think '28 or something like that, our father was a professor, school professor. and we were the only family that had a car, because everyone else had those horses and mules pulling wagons and stuff. we had an a-model ford, my father did, called him professor jackson. so it means something to be a jackson. >> jean casarez of the legal network "in session" in for nancy grace tonight. more information coming out on the search warrants executed in las vegas. do you realize that actually three search warrants were executed on tuesday? one at the office of dr. conrad murray, one at the home of dr. conrad murray, and one later in the day at a storage unit in las vegas. they didn't find anything in the storage unit, but yet some time had passed, which is interesting. i want to go back out to smokey fontaine. he is the chief content editor at newsone.com, interviewed joe jackson just days ago.

quite an interview you got. i want to ask you about omar bhatti. he is the young man that was sitting in the front row at the funeral service. many believe he could be a son of michael jackson. he has said he is not, but what did joe jackson say? >> joe jackson said, unequivocally that omar bhatti is michael jackson's son. it was the last question i asked him after two hours of conversation, and this is what he admitted. this is what joe jackson believes to be true. he looked me in my eye, i believe him. i don't think mr. jackson has any reason to be dishonest and i think this is a guarded secret, that is only now coming to light. >> a lot of people are saying, though, that there's a motive here. that he wants him to be his son, because he has musical talent. we see him dance, he was in a talent contest, that's allegedly how michael jackson found him, if he wasn't his biological son. what does your gut tell you? >> i think my gut says that, you know, joe jackson, being motivated by turning this boy into a star is unfair. i mean, joe jackson is one of

the most legendary fathers and managers we've ever had and he needs to be given respect for that. i've witnessed, as we all have, some of his somewhat gratuitous comments about his record label and comments post michael's death, but that wasn't the man i met. and he was excited about the fact that he could turn omar bhatti into a star. i think he's excited about the fact that the jackson legacy will live on, and proud of the fact that this is a grandson that deserves to be admired. >> let's go out to the attorneys right now. eleanor dixon, prosecutor out of atlanta. peter odom, defense attorney out of atlanta. and alex sanchez, defense attorney out of the new york jurisdiction. i've been studying the will and the will specifically states that michael jackson says, i have no other children, living or deceased. it also says, i have intentionally omitted to provide for my heirs that are not delineated in my trust documents. to eleanor dixon, what if this would be a biological child? could he inherit?

>> well, i would say yes. you know, as the lawyers like to say, you can always sue, and if he is the biological child, he is an heir, and i think he can assert that privilege and lay claim to some of the estate. >> all right. alex sanchez, you agree? >> that issue can be resolved one, two, three with a dna test, and if he is a child, he'll be splitting whatever money was left to the children.

i knew then that mr. jackson was rehearsing, so i figured he was -- that he was there, he was employed, he was there to take care of him. i would see dr. murray carrying the oxygen tanks down in the mornings. i don't know what to make of it. i know that what, you know, the situation with, you know, the oxygen tanks and the doctor, you know, the doctor, you knows, was there, i thought to do his job as his physician. i'm jean casarez of the legal network "in session" in for nancy grace tonight. do you realize that on the

research in the search warrant of the office in las vegas, one of the things they took was the name of omar arnold on it, and that's one of the aliases. that is the alias, that allegedly, michael jackson used for medical tests and even, allegedly, prescriptions. how much information would be on that. let's go to a caller. sandy in south carolina. hi, sandy. good evening. >> caller: hi. first, i want to say that hln has the best coverage of all subjects, of all the news channels, of all the channels, period. i just love hln. i had a two-part -- i had a one question, two-parter. i first wanted to know when dr. murray called for prince, do you think prince would be asked to testify as to what he saw and what dr. murray was doing at that time? and the second part is, in that three-hour gap that they said they don't know if michael jackson had died earlier or not, is it possible a security camera could have picked up what dr. murray was doing and it's possible that he took the money

and the jewels that are missing? >> a lot of good questions. you know, sandy, when i woke up this morning, i said to myself, i want to put together a timeline. because we know some things at this point. let's go to a timeline. first of all, 10:00 to 10:30 in the morning, kai chase says dr. murray would normally come down, getting michael jackson's breakfast for him and taking it back up. the day he died, he didn't do that, says the chef. from 12:00 to 12:10, kai chase says dr. murray came running downstairs, calling for prince, michael jackson's son. shortly after, dr. murray reportedly tries to resuscitate jackson, using cpr. 12:21, the 911 call was made. 12:26, paramedics arrive and treat jackson for 42 minutes before transporting him to nearby ronald reagan ucla medical center. 1:14, jackson arrives at the hospital. and finally, at 2:26, jackson was pronounced dead. let's go to dr. joshua perper, chief medical examiner broward county.

author of "when to call the doctor." when you look at that timeline, doctor, what do you say? >> well, the first thing which i say is that propofol was used for a sleeping pill and this was in the middle of the day, for that time it would be used for sleeping, it would be more used like for used, misused for addiction. ddddddddddd

new developments in the investigation of michael jackson's death. we are getting the clearest indication yet that jackson's personal physician, dr. conrad murray, is the sole target of the criminal investigation. >> now, we know that other doctors' records have been subpoenaed, but clearly now, with three search warrants now served on dr. conrad murray's property, he has become the central focus. >> no one who is being treated that way by the police is merely a witness. now, that doesn't mean this person is going to be charged or is guilty of anything, but he is clearly the last doctor who had access to michael jackson, who was with him on the day he died,

at the time he died. >> his lawyers say they don't think an arrest is imminent, because they haven't seen any proof or an autopsy report. but there are new details about his drastic money troubles. he's deeply in debt, and reports say his las vegas estate could face foreclosure. >> that is true. he owes about $15,000 on it. in january, he didn't make that payment. he's been racking up debt ever since. >> the state of his financial affairs is highly relevant. and it does reflect, i think, on the quality of his medical care, that he could provide to michael jackson. i mean, this is michael jackson. why does he have this doctor? that's the question i have. >> the daughter, she says -- paris, she starts screaming, daddy, daddy, daddy. we all started crying. something was wrong. and she's screaming, daddy, and starts crying, and we start crying, and we all come together in unity, in a circle, and we started holding hands and we started praying. >> i'm jean casarez of the legal

network "in session" in for nancy grace tonight. kai chase, the chef of michael jackson, has said publicly that every morning at 10:00 to 10:15, dr. conrad murray would come down the stairs to get breakfast for michael jackson and take it back up. but on the morning he died, he never came down. let's go to the new jersey police department and detective lieutenant. when you look at this time line, what would you be thinking about, from morning to afternoon, until 2:26 when he was pronounced dead and what would you do with that timeline? >> well, i would actually go way before that timeline. i would like to know what that doctor was doing, what type of communications was going on, was there any interaction with other doctors. that's what island be focusing in on right now. >> to dr. joshua perper, chief medical examiner of broward county. i just want to ask you a couple of questions here. if at 12:00 to 12:10, the chef is saying that the doctor came

down the stairs, yelling and screaming for prince, that is the son, of course, and then not until 12:21 is 911 called, isn't that valuable time right there that allegedly one could say was being wasted? >> absolutely. i think that the moment when they found jackson unconscious, then they should have immediately called the medics and should have started resuscitation and had the proper equipment to provide it, especially that he was given apparently propofol. >> why would paramedics work on him for 42 minutes at the home before taking him in an ambulance? >> there's no question that the early medical treatment of resuscitation is effective, and if provided promptly, the more likely of the chance the individual would survive. >> to caller kay in illinois. good evening. what's your question? >> caller: yes, good evening. this question does not pertain to diprivan, but since michael jackson got several prescription

ail -- or had several prescription aliases from different pharmacies, how were these prescriptions retrieved from the pharmacy? would those people or any that may have assisted him be charged with any crime, or is it strictly dr. murray? >> an excellent question, and i think it is more doctors that they're looking at and that is evidence from the legal search warrant that we got from las vegas. let's go out to the attorneys, eleanor dixon, prosecutor, peter odom, defense attorney, both out of atlanta, georgia, and alex sanchez, defense attorney out of new york. first to peter odom, defense attorney, there are seven physicians listed on this search warrant and there are also some alleged probable cause charges from the california business and professions code. in and of itself, these are not felonies. excessive prescribing, prescribing to an addict, excess treatment or prescribing, but if a conspiracy is found among these doctors, that would be felony charges, correct? >> well, very unlikely that a

felony charge among all these physicians would lie. i mean, a lot of people had their hands in the death of michael jackson and none of them intended that this man die. they might have been negligent, they might have been professionally subpar, but nobody here intended to commit a crime. >> to eleanor dixon, prosecutor, when you look at the california business and professions code, with what when i just cited, it is not that the desee dent or -- the addict is taking the pills. it's the fact that the doctors are writing the prescriptions, pharmacy shopping, giving them to someone they know have knowledge is an addict. and if they do it together, that's a conspiracy. exactly. just your old party to a crime. of course, the defense is going to say something different. but that's why the investigators are looking in these, getting the search warrants, and trying to make a link between the doctors, the pharmacies, the aliases, everything. and that will tell the story, jane. >> to alex sanchez, defense attorney, i think there's two levels they're looking at right now. they're looking at someone who may have caused the death, looking at that issue.

they're also looking at some sub-issues not directly related to the death of michael jackson. >> i would be concerned if i was any one of those doctors, because any one of those doctors could have had an arrangement, with let's say, somebody at the pharmacy. listen, we'll write out a phony prescription in somebody else's name. just make sure you fulfill that prescription. if i were those doctors, i would be very concerned at this point. >> but the fact is, michael jackson wanted these medications. he was, by his own words, addicted to substances. to alex sanchez, can't that be a defense in this case? >> i think it is a defense. because something happened in michael jackson's life where he descended to the point where he was basically using people, he was using his son's name, he was ensnaring other people involved in the criminal justice system by using their name for the purposes of getting prescription drugs. so he is the main architect of his own demise in this case. and that's a factor that's going to be brought up if he ever goes to trial. >> to christine in massachusetts. hi, christine, what's your

question? >> caller: hi. my question is, did he have a picture i.d. to go with all these aliases? because i know here in massachusetts, if you go to pick up a controlled substance from the pharmacy, you need a picture identification. >> good question. dr. joshua perper, chief medical examiner, broward county. we don't want to teach people how to do this, all right? but how does somebody get away with something like this? >> well, in a number of other places, there's no requirement for identification when you go to a pharmacy. and in this particular case, the pharmacies most likely probably knew that that's a prescription for jackson or were told by the physician for whom they were intended. that's still illegal. >> so it's the doctor, it's the doctor in writing the prescription that performs the act that is illegal? correct? >> absolutely. >> all right. absolutely.

to jeff gardere. if, in fact, his son, prince, was in the room, as the chef believes may have happened when resuscitation efforts were going on or when michael jackson was already deceased, that can have a profound impact. that's just not fair, is it? >> it's not fair. and i don't know why he called his 12-year-old up. he was going through shock, disbelief, disorientation, fear, and it's something that will %tay with him through the rest of his life. it was traumatic. we want to wish reginald carter from macon, georgia, a happy birthday. reginald is the valedictorian of his graduating class of 2009 at northeast science magna high school. he never misses a show. congratulations on behalf of nancy, reginald, and happy birthday. and we are on the search for nancy grace's number one fan. get your videocameras and e-mails ready and send us your extraordinary story as to why you are nancy's biggest fan. we are looking for the stories that stand out.

you must prove your case, beyond a reasonable doubt. if your e-mail or i-report is featured on air, you win an autographed copy of nancy's book, "the eleventh victim," and a chance to meet her in new york city on the set. go to cnn.com/nancygrace. we'll be right back. i want to thank you so much for all of your calls and e-mails about my book, "eleventh victim." it comes out on august 11st. you are the very first to see it right now. of course, after lucy, pictured here who grabs it first. it's about a prosecutor who tries her best to give up criminal law and start a new life. but when her friends are murdered one by one, the nypd hones in on her. it took me years to write this book. i started when i first left felony prosecution and i missed it so much. since then, i wrote another book and published it, launched this show with my producer, dane, got married, got pregnant, gave

birth, nearly died, didn't, and finished the book. i hope you like it. part of my proceeds go to a charity, wesley glenn, who takes care of the mentally handicapped that need a loving home. you can find this book on our website.

look at that precious boy. he is missing tonight in boise, idaho. >> police in boise, idaho, say there are suspicious circumstances in the disappearance of 8-year-old robert manwill. >> police and hundreds of volunteers are in the middle of their most exhaustive search yet for robert. >> the evidence we've uncovered shows that there are suspicious circumstances regarding robert's disappearance. >> it isn't clear what they found or what they were looking for. >> this is robert's bear, that has always been close to his heart. and our family would love to reunite them together. please do what you can to help. >> it's the response from this community, robert's family, and the shy smile of that little boy

on the missing poster that keeps us investigators going. >> i'm jean casarez of the legal network "in session," in for nancy grace tonight. there is some brand-new news coming out of idaho in the case of a missing 8-year-old, precious robert manwill. let's go straight out to greg hahn, editor of "the idaho statesman." greg, what happened in the last 24 hours? >> well, more than 2,000 volunteers scoured the part of town where robert went missing. the police did announce a pretty significant change in what they've been saying. they said, for the first time, they found some evidence that showed there was some suspicious circumstances around his disappearance. i'm quoting here that he may be the victim of a tragic event. and they told the searchers to kind of expand their ideas beyond looking for a hiding boy and into looking for things that might lead them to more than that, and perhaps not the happy ending that everybody was looking for. meanwhile, even going on

tonight, police are, kind of cordoned off a section of the landfill where the trash from saturday morning, the morning after the day robert disappeared. they haven't sifted through it yet, but tonight they're at a house, no one's sure how it's connected to it. but they're searching a house in another part of town, looking for evidence that may be relate there had. >> so you're say they're conducting a search right now as we speak of a home? >> yes. it's in, like i say, a different part of a neighborhood. we did talk to the people who own that home, and she says her renters do know the manwills, so there is at least some connection there. >> well, you know, to execute a search, you have to have probable cause, so you don't know anything else about what they believe is in that home? >> well, nothing that the police have told us. the owner of the house says that there is, you know, there was a truck that was stolen and then

returned from there and she's not sure how that tied in, but it's the only kind of unusual thing she's known has happened there lately. but the police are still not kind of, like, as you know, they've been kind of tight-lipped this whole time and tonight is no different. >> sure, but you do know a little bit more about a search that was done a little less than 24 hours ago at the mother of robert's mom. about -- just about 24 hours ago tonight, right? >> exactly. they went in about 8:00 our time, which is about 10:00 eastern time, into the apartment. the apartment where he disappeared from, the boy lives with his father in a rural town outside of boise, but his mother has visitation rights. she and her boyfriend live in this apartment in town. and police did go in there last night. they did get, you know, they pulled stuff out of there. we don't know what. they did grab some cars that were there, we're not even 100% sure whose cars they are, but

they took them from that apartment complex. and they went back there this morning. they cordoned it off again. so they've been back to that apartment at least twice in the last 24 hours. >> to marc klaas, president and founder of klaas kidsfoundation. this started out as a missing child that was playing in his yard in his apartment complex and wandered off because he wanted to go to a party. things are turning around, aren't they, marc? >> things are turning around in some pretty awful ways, jean, no question about that. a couple things that stand out for me, despite the fact that this is taking a sour turn, over 2,000 people responded to law enforcement's call for volunteers to come out. in my experience, i don't think law enforcement ever asks for civilian volunteers to do something like this, so i think it's a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and the good work that volunteers can do in these kinds of searches that law enforcement understands this and they're taking advantage of it.

secondly, as i read through this and i see what this mother has done. that she cracked another child's skull, like a walnut, and that the court records said that she did willfully inflect that injury, yet she was only charged with a misdemeanor, 29 days of work release, and fined $75.50. my goodness. if you're going to commit a crime against a child, i guess boise, idaho, is the place to do it. >> she is not a suspect in her son's disappearance, but to detective lieutenant, steven rogers, nutley, new jersey. if investigators are out at a landfill right now, they might be calling it a missing child investigation, but is that truly the case? >> i don't think so. look, they have to investigate every lead, but these investigations begin at ground zero, the victim's home. don't be surprised if it ends at ground zero, the victim's home. >> to eleanor dixon, prosecutor out of atlanta. your thoughts on what we're hearing tonight. >> well, this doesn't surprise

me, because oftentimes in missing children's cases, you're going to look at the people who are closest to the child and the person who last saw them. and i'm wondering whether or not the mother or her boyfriend have offered to take a polygraph to see if they can shed some light on this and perhaps show where they were and what they know. i'd like to see some of that done as well in this investigation. >> to greg hahn from the "idaho statesman," do we know if any lie detector tests have been taken? >> we don't know that. the police have been real quiet about everything. the family has been quiet. they have a spokeswoman who really just shows up at press conferences and we can't even get to her outside of that. it's an aunt of robert's. we did talk to a neighbor today who said that he'd talked to the boyfriend -- >> all right, and we will keep giving some updates on this case and let us hope for the best. now, "cnn heroes." >> disabled children, they're

really the forgotten ones in this war. they're in the backrooms, often not seen in society. >> i came to iraq as a civilian my name is brad blauser. i bring pediatric wheelchairs to iraqi children in need. people donate on my website, the wheelchairs are brought over, and i distribute them to the different military units, and help fit these children into the wheelchairs. the experience for me on the first distribution was awesome. to see the smile come across their face and look over and the

mothers and the fathers, they've definitely been changed. >> but it's all about humanity. we want iraqis to feel there is humanity in america. he is happy to be participating. >> there's no paycheck. it's not really safe here, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, knowing that you've done something for someone that nobody else has done before. i made a difference in the life of these families. definitely, the sacrifice has been worth it.

and now a look back at the stories making headlines this week. >> a source close to the jackson family says jackson's personal doctor administered a powerful drug that authorities believe killed him. >> a source with knowledge of the investigation, someone close to the family, says that dr. conrad murray did, indeed, administer this drug to michael jackson within 24 hours of his death. >> in las vegas, authorities are searching both the home and office of michael jackson's personal doctor, dr. conrad murray was with the singer when he died last month in los angeles.

>> it only lasted about three hours and all they took was one computer hard drive, according to murray's attorney, and some cell phones. >> a woman, about eight months pregnant, has been found dead wrapped in a bedding inside a closet inside her apartment in massachusetts. police say her fetus was cut out of her womb. they're looking for whoever killed 23-year-old darlene haynes and for the newborn. investigators say the baby might have survived, and would need immediate medical attention to stay alive. >> robert's an 8-year-old little guy who needs our help. >> according to police, the family last saw the 8-year-old around 9:30 p.m. friday night. police say they've conducted several interviews, and still have no leads. >> tonight, let us stop to remember army sergeant first class edward kramer. 39 years old, from wilmington, north carolina. on a second tour in iraq, he was awarded the bronze star and the purple heart.

a former marine, he also served during the first gulf war. a firefighter back at home, he was passionate about helping others, his family, and his friends. he leaves behind his parents, donald and mary ann, two brothers, two sisters, his widow vicky, and two little girls, megan and erica. edward kramer, an american hero. thank you to all of our guests, and to you at home for being with us. see you tomorrow night, 8:00 sharp eastern, until then, good night, everybody.
