7:06 am
brothers running into a gas station and literally pleading for help. don dahler is in boston with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. court is not in session now but jurors had an emotional day yesterday looking at the autopsy photos of officer sean collier. they also heard testimony from the man who was allegedly carjacked by dzhokar and tamerlan tsarnaev. capturing the moment the then 26-year-old broke free from the tsarnaev brothers after he allegedly carjacked him at gunpoint. he told jurors thursday, every time i recall this i think it is the most terrifying moment the most difficult decision in my life. last year in his only tv interview, don told cbs news he had pulled over his mercedes suv after work to answer a text message. that's when he said tamerlan tsarnaev jumped into his car and pup add gun. >> i was totally shocked. i was -- i was, like what's this? what's is this?
7:07 am
i thought it was a robbery. >> reporter: in court, he said he asked me do you know the boston marathon explosion? i said yes. i know. he said, do you know who did it? i said no. he said i did. for almost two hours, dunn was driven around as the brothers used his atm card to get cash. when they pulled up to a gas station and dzhokhar jumped out to get snacks that he escaped. don sprinted to a gas station, desperately pleaded with the cashier to call 911 and then hid. the clerk handed him the phone. >> this happen to me. >> reporter: and dunn frantically tried to explain. >> they had the suspects of the -- >> sir what did he say when he took your car? >> please help me. please. they have guns. >> reporter: tamerlan alerted his brother who ditched his food
7:08 am
before the two sped off. moments later police arrived to dunn's aid setting off a tense manhunt that would ultimately lead to tamerlan's death and his brother's capture. what the tsarnaev brothers didn't know dunn's vehicle was equipped with a gps system which police officers could then use to track them down. dunn ming's action didn't only save his own life but may have saved many others. authorities later found out the tsarnaev brothers had bombs and allegedly were headed to new york city. >> thanks. cbs news legal expert rikki claim sn here. good morning. what's the impact of meng's testimony? >> one of the most significant witnesses in this case. he's the hero of this case because ultimately it is his actions that lead to the death of tamerlan tsarnaev the capture of dzhokhar tsarnaev. what we have to remember about donn meng also known as danny, if there were a manual how you
7:09 am
act as a hostage, how you act in the a carjacking he followed it. very law-abiding. he's getting a text message. he's going to text. he pulls over. that's why he gets carjacked. comment it's listens, listens, listen, does whatever he say and while there looks for way out and he's the one who calls police. >> you say that video also helps the defense. how so? >> not the video but his testimony. the defense is looking for anything that it can grab on to in order to save dzhokhar tsarnaev's life and what they can grab on to is what was the cross-examination by the talented david brock which is tamerlan did the carjacking. tamerlan had the gun. tamerlan was the one who gave the orders and the one thing that dzhokhar tsarnaev basically did besides follow the orders go get the money out of the atm and get the snacks is he said he had his iphone and wanted to play music. it's so bizarre. so they're looking for a way to say he's a follower. >> we also saw two of the jurors break down and cry when they
7:10 am
were shown the autopsy of the m.i.t. police officer. what affect do you think that had? >> i think that jurors are highly under-valued by the public, that when someone takes the oath to are a juror in a case such as this they can be traumatized in a way that they are living this entire days and days of carnage and death. >> but you think that that in some way could backfire? it's one of the things that has been said is that sometimes jurors get deadened. they just get deadened to hearing so much horror and that at that point it becomes even. in this case that would be a little hard. >> rikki klieman, thank you. this morning, iraqi forces are closer to taking full control of an isis stronghold. they have been working for nearly two weeks to enter tikrit. the city fell to isis last year. holly williams has been traveling with iraqi forces along the front lines. she is in baghdad.
7:11 am
holly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. iraqi forces are now inside tikrit pushing towards the city center from both the north and the south. the battle for tikrit is a major test of iraq's ability to defeat isis. [ sirens ] >> reporter: just five miles south of tikrit retaken by iraqi forces on monday after three days of intense street-to-street fighting. [ chanting ] >> reporter: this is the biggest iraqi offensive against isis so far. and we found the fighters in a triumphant mood. major general baha al azhu wei says victory is certain. >> we insist to defeat them and will follow them and to whisk them away from iraq. >> reporter: now iraqi soldiers have fought their way into tikrit, a city of a quarter of a million people where isis has been dug in since june.
7:12 am
isis is vastly outnanned edoutmanned by iraqi forces but managing to slow them down with mines, boobytraps and car bombs. still in disarray after being humiliated by isis last year. most in this fight are militiamen, close ties to iran and being helped in this battle by iranian officers fueling fears in the u.s. of increasing iranian influence here in iraq. the shiite militias are also accused of massacring more than 70 unarmed sunni muslim men in a neighbors province. their commanders are adamant that the same thing will not happen in tikrit. iraq is trying to fight off isis, but it's doing so with an enormous burden. the bloody religious divisions that still blight this country.
7:13 am
charlie? >> holly thanks. this morning isis is expanding from the middle east to new territory in west africa. the extremist group accepted a pledge of allegiance from nigerian based boko haram. contradicter mike morrell in washington a former cia deputy director. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. >> one quick question what we heard from holly. the significance of the victory in tikrit doing great damage to isis or elimination? >> the first major setback for isis since they did their blitzkrieg across iraq. so it is a very important development, charlie. >> even though not much u.s. involvement? >> correct. >> terping ingturning to boko haram. what's the impact of boko haram and its allegiance to isis? >> so what isis gets out of this, charlie, is a major advance for their brand. they're in this struggle with al qaeda for leadership of the global jihadist movement and now have just got one of the most important terrorist groups in the world, one of the largest
7:14 am
10,000 fighters to sign up with them. what boko haram gets out of this is also advantage for their brand. they're now playing with the big boys and so they're going to get more money, get more recruits. >> is either group more dangerous now, mike do you think? and what does this alliance mean for the west? >> good question gailgyle. i don't think it makes isis more dangerous but makes boko haram more dangerous. boko haram focused primarily on local nigerian targets. this could get them to focus more on the west. that's the danger here. >> so the inevitable next question, should we be going after boko haram in nigeria? >> they're not a threat yet, but we cross that bridge when we come to it. stay focused on the head of the snake,s that isis in iraq. >> and release of a handbook they found online an isis how-to, how to get into syria,
7:15 am
how to move forward. should we be concerned about that? is that something for instance the four girls, the three girls out of london used? >> i think there are many many ways to get to syria, and the very easy to get to syria. i don't think you really need a handbook. what i found interesting about the handbook is the colloquial english used in it. it's clearly written by a westerner. a brit, an american. it's almost like a travel guide that you get in the mail before you head off on a trip. you know take this. don't take this. very interesting. >> all right. thank you so much. more details this morning about the secret service agents who allegedly drove into a crime scene last week at the white house. senior agents arrived around 11:00 wednesday night last week they had been drinking at a retirement party but returned for a suspicious package investigation. they drove through police tape and struck an orange construction barrel. the suv was not damaged.

this week "48 hours" dips into a cold case that has baffled florida investigators for more than 20 years. correspondent erin moriarty and
8:21 am
her team have spent months looking into the unsolved murder of 21-year-old amy gellar. here's a preview of tomorrow night's report. >> the gellar case has haunted us for 21 years now. the biggest problem is figuring out why it happened. >> reporter: on the evening of march 20th 1994 bonny and bob layton returned from church to find a masked intruder in their florida home. >> basically we had to crawl through here on our hands and knees and he took us to this area right here. something switched in him. he just lost it and he started stabbing me in my neck and it's going in so deep i can feel the bones crunching. >> reporter: miraculously they both survived but bonny's 21-year-old daughter amy who happened to come home during the attack did not. amy's brother brian gellert.
8:22 am
>> at first when i saw it it didn't make sense. >> it's hard to think about it right now. >> reporter: for the family it's all the more painful because it'sthis more than 20-year-old cold case has never been solved. but this team of investigators in the brevard county sheriff's office is determined to catch the killer or killers who got away. >> i think it's solvable. it's going to take the right piece of evidence and the right person to be able to talk about - it. >> reporter: what the investigators do know is the intruder was armed with unusual weapons. the gun was later identified as a prop weapon used in the theater and movies. the knife was actually a dagger that looked something like this with an ornate hilt. >> and have you ever been able to find one that seemed to match? >> not with the hilt like that no. >> reporter: investigators agree, all the evidence points to a targeted attack. >> the consensus is --
8:23 am
>> amy is the catalyst that caused this to happen. >> reporter: all though they couldn't identify their masked assail land? >> i think he's caucasian. i picked that up from the ski mask over his eyes. >> in most cases you may have one primary isn't or a peripheral one but in this one there are multiple possibilities. >> reporter: she's positive after all these years someone will come forward with evidence and she will finally get justice for her daughter. >> i think people are holding onto information. they don't think it's significant. but it is. it means everything to us. amy means everything to us. >> you still feel their pain after all these years. erin moriarty joins us at the table. "48 hours" has never done this before.
8:24 am
usually you solve mysteries. this time you're asking for help. >> and i'm a little nervous. you had investigators stumped because there were three victims. i think for many years they weren't sure who was the target. they had many suspects. i think you see at this hour the target has been narrowed down to amy and they'rere are some good suspects. >> why are you doing it? >> we did a case on a young man who disappeared for 30 years. it turns out he said something to a woman in a bar and they solved the case, so there's probably someone out there with information. >> i bet you'll get a lot of tips. >> i hope. >> probably somebody who didn't know they knew something. >> thank you. >> thank you, erin. you can see the whole report "who killed amy gellert" tomorrow night at 9:0010 p.m. 9:00

8:35 am
i think it persists because of obvious problems in biases in certain industries. women are choosing some lower paying professions. that can be a problem. we haven't populated those high paying wage jobs like stem science technology engineering. >> i appreciate all of that. but as we saw even in the case of mary barra, the ceo of gm she was paid less than her predecessor, even though she'd been at the company for nearly 30 years. >> this is one of the critical aspects of this study. at every level, whether it's education, whether it's gender -- race in different industries, women seem to get paid less. so, yes, sure women will off board, leave the labor force, come in and choose flexibility over comp. >> how do we accelerate this so the wage balance happens quickly? >> i think when you look at the economics of this we look at other nations where the wage gap is much narrower.
8:36 am
