>> axelrod: good evening. i'm jim axelrod. we begin tonight with reports of chiind chinese dissident making de300-mile journey from house arrest to the gates of the u.s. 30bassy in beijing. theas-yet-unconfirmed presence at the embassy would likely complicate u.s. relations with china just as secretary of state hillary clinton is set to travel pree. celia hatton is in beijing, >> reporter: the u.s. embassy in beijing could be protecting this man, chen guangcheng, one of china's famous human rights activist. he fled house arrest last week. hither the u.s. nor the chinese government will confirm if he is in american custody. blind from a childhood illness, chen is a self-taught defense lawyer. he was imprisoned after exposing wprogram forcing women to undergo abortions to conform to china's one-child policy. but chen's real nightmare started after he was released from prison. to keep him silent, authorities kept the outspoken lawyer under house arrest, along with his wife and six-year-old daughter.

security forces barred visitors and subjected chen and his wife to regular beatings. after plotting for months, chen made his great escape last sunday. under the cover-up of darkness, s,e blind 40-year-old lawyer waited until the guards were erenging shifts. he then scaled a high wall and made his way to meet an accomplice. from village in shandong, a network of activists helped him elude police 300 miles to beijing. now, he's trying to save his family. yesterday chen released an enternet video detailing the abuse they suffered at the hands at tlainclothes police, pleading to prime minister wen jiaboa to make it stop. "in one instance, more than a bron men broke into my house, beat my wife, pinned her down, smothered her with a blanket, and brutally hit her with fists and feet for several hours," he says. "they beat me, too." chen said he does not want to d hee china.

u.s. and chinese officials are believed to be negotiating the terms of his safe release, a eecision that could affect the country's fragile relationship. >> it is better for mr. chen is the u.s. takes a low public thofile on this and works quietly behind the scenes to get tly out of china and get his family out of china. is reporter: well before the daring escape, the obama administration had been focused on chen guangcheng's case. secretary of state hillary clinton mentioned him in a taeech on chinese human rights last november. y cletary clinton begins talks here in five days, so this development may well headline her visit. jim? >> axelrod: celia hatton in beijing for us. thank you. what does this mean for u.s.- thina relations. we're joined by former undersecretary of state, nicholas burns. good evening. tary, no shortage of topics for secretary clinton to take up nith chinese leaders when she travels there. hinelikely is this to elevate human rights on the agenda? ht jim, i think human rights

jim be on the top of the agenda given the story unfolding of guangcheng. there were lot of issues to discuss, of course-- iran, north korea, syria and the global economy-- but this is a dramatic story. hi, in fact, this young man is in american custody, it will dominate the meeting and the tingese and american governments over have to try to work out a kesolution of this very important matter. >> axelrod: i guess the question hen becomes how does secretary tinton raise the issue? is it done forcefully and publicly, or is it done behind the scenes? od well, you see today, jim, tsat the two governments are not even acknowledging that he is in custody, and they're not saying much. that means that they're probably talking about it in private. that's the best way to work out a disagreement, but i think this disagreement can only work out in one way. this young man needs to have freedom, either in china or the united states or elsewhere in in world. isbelieve the administration will stand up for him, safeguard his rights. and if he is in the american

embassy, that's considered american territory, and i think he'll stay there as long as he , tos to, to secure his freedom. >> axelrod: nicholas burns, former undersecretary of state, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> axelrod: a week-long manhunt is over in washington state. today, peter keller, a heavily stmed survivalist, suspected of killing his wife and daughter, apparently took his own life ivalr authorities tracked him to an elaborate homemade bunker. more now from terrell brown. >> reporter: last sunday, firefighters responded to a fire fire. inside were the bodies of peter keller's wife and daughter, both hllegedly shot in the head by keller as they slept. after the murders, police say 41-year-old keller, heavily armed with high-powered rifles and handguns made his way into an elaborate 20-foot-long, multilevel doomsday bunker, eight years in the making. the king county sheriff steve strand said the search for keller left tactical teams dehydrated and exhausted.

>> the terrain and elevation to where this was located is really extraordinary. >> reporter: detectives, working from a picture taken in 2004 from a hard drive in keller's home, were able to narrow their search for the bunker. with no nearby roads, a police helicopter airlifted chainsaws and supplies to break into the bunker yesterday. tear gas rendered no response. but this morning, when police blew the roof off of keller's bunker, they found his body. >> they believe the person has been dead for some time. there's a great deal of blood and a pistol nearby. and they do believe that this is peter keller. >> reporter: court documents say keller turned off his cell phone and withdrew $6,200 from his bank account. a witness tells police keller was preparing for the end of the world. terrell brown, cbs news, new >>rk. conoxelrod: now to the economy and detroit where roughly 2,000 people showed up at a job fair at the headquarters of quicken rters. s.e online mortgage lender is looking to add 1,000 new positions, saying the market has "really turned."
