life in prison. two are out now and it bothers her the third kidnapping, woods, has a parole hearing coming up soon and likely will be released as well. >> i think each of the men had 26 life sentences one for each child and they will not serve one. >> some criticize brown for not overturning the board's position but his office noted he only can do that in murder cases. still to come, a determined and exhausted group of cyclists just reached the golden gate bridge after riding all of the way across the country for a cause. and the endless cycle of cooling in, warming in, it is not ending yet.
