7:10 am
this was not a small collision. >> reporter: just two months ago, vice admiral joseph aucoin promised a sweeping investigation, following the "uss fitzgerald's" deadly collision with a merchant ship off the coast of japan. but after the "uss john s. mccain" crashed earlier this year, the navy decided to remove aucoin from his post as head of the seventh fleet. the mccain's collision was the latest of four incidents involving his ships in just the past eight months. vice admiral aucoin has led the seventh fleet since september, 2015, and was set to retire next month. >> the divers were able to locate some remains in those sealed compartments. >> reporter: in a press conference yesterday, pacific fleet commander admiral scott swift said the navy is looking at all possible causes for the collision between the mccain and an oil tanker monday near singapore, including a cyber attack on the ship's controls. he promised to get to the root cause of these incidents in the pacific. >> when tragedy like this is one

7:12 am
considering a series of steps to pressure pakistan. the u.s. accuses the country of harboring extremist groups that cross into afghanistan to fight u.s. troops. now, the steps could include sanctions on pakistani government officials, cuts in u.s. aid, and an increase in drone strikes inside pakistan. pakistan says it's committed to peace and stability in afghanistan. the fbi is warning about a popular anti-virus software linked to the government of russia. kaspersky lab products are widely used by businesses and some government offices across this country. federal officials are concerned the software may be feeding user information to russian intelligence. jeff pegues is in washington where the head of cyber security says the government needs more help to fight these hackers. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house cyber czar said the threat to u.s. systems and infrastructure extends beyond chinese and russian hackers and small little countries you wouldn't expect are also hitting
7:13 am
us. rob joyce, the man in charge of protecting the u.s. from cyber threats, offered a sobering assessment of the country's deficit in cyber defense to a group of students. >> right now we're about 300,000 people short. we've got roughly three-quarters of a million people doing cyber security. if the industry could hire everybody they wanted, they would hire another quarter million to almost a third of a million more people. >> reporter: joyce also expressed concern about the popular anti-virus software from kaspersky lab. u.s. officials believe the company has ties to russian intelligence. fbi officials have met with private industry representatives to relay concerns about using the software. already the federal government has vowed not to use its products, but local and state governments make extensive use of that software. kaspersky lab denies the accusations, calling them, quote, false allegations. norah. >> really interesting. jeff, thank you so much. the governor of missouri
7:14 am
granted a last-minute stay of execution after dna testing raised new doubts about the guilt of a death row inmate. marcellus williams was scheduled to be put to death last night for the 1998 murder of felicia gayle. tony dokoupil shows us the impact of a recent review of evidence. tony, good morning. >> good morning. marcellus williams' attorney says the new dna evidence found on the murder weapon matched an unknown person and not their client. the governor's plans to apoint a five-member board to recommend whether williams should be executed or now granted clemency. >> an innocent man and they didn't look at him like that and give him a chance. >> reporter: marcellus williams knows his father's exoneration is still a long shot. williams was convicted of stabbing a former newspaper reporter, felicia gayle, 43 times with a butcher knife inside her home back in 1998. >> it's sad, because this woman, she was murdered. her killer is still walking the streets.
7:15 am
>> in 2015, missouri's supreme court delayed williams' execution to allow for dna testing that was not available during trial. larry komp is one of williams' attorneys. >> we are looking at an execution a couple of hours from now. the governor interceded and now we get our day in court and talk about what these results mean. >> reporter: the government's executive order says the inquiry board has the power to gather information, whether or not admissible in a court of law, to make their recommendation. the innocence project took notice after an online petition calling for a stop to his execution received more than 250,000 signatures. barry scheck is one of the co-founders. >> if you're going to execute somebody, you ought to have a really good fact-finding process. here we have an individual that dna testing is showing could well be innocent. it's very trouble ling. >> reporter: missouri's attorney general has defended the prosecution of williams and said in a statement we remain confident in the judgment of the jury and the many courts that have carefully reviewed mr.
7:16 am
williams' case over 16 years. >> i hope my father's situation shows people that you need to give people a chance and treat everybody equal. >> reporter: two witnesses reportedly claimed williams confessed to the burglary and the killing, but defense attorneys say those witnesses are unreliable and were motivated by a $10,000 reward. gayle. >> all right, thank you very much, tony. the family of a chinese researcher who vanished in illinois is appealing to the public for help today. surveillance video from june shows yingying zhang getting into a black saturn car the day she disappeared. investigators believe she is dead. brent christianson is charged with her killing. anna is at the boss stus stop w she was last seen alive. >> reporter: good morning. this bus stop was the last place zhang was seen alive. that was over two months ago.
7:17 am
her family has been waiting ever since, and they are heartbroken. yingying zhang's mother sobbed throughout the news conference where the family spoke out for the first time since her disappearance. >> with each passing by day, the chances of finding ying alive decrease. >> reporter: her mother and brother arrived in illinois just a few days ago. her boyfriend says they all feel helpless. >> can you describe what this has been like for the family, for her mom and dad? >> reporter: every day is like torture for us, he says. we live in agony every day. 26-year-old zhang came from china to study for her ph.d. at the university of illinois. on june 9th, surveillance cameras captured her getting into this black saturn police say is owned by brendt christianson. he admitted he offered her a ride and she got in his car but claims he let her out a few
7:18 am
blocks away. while under surveillance he was recorded saying he brought zhang back to his apartment and held her against her will. he faces one count of kidnapping. anthony bruno is one of the defense attorneys. >> our client is presumed innocent. his presumption of innocence will remain with him until the case is over. >> reporter: zhang's family says they will stay until she is found. it is a chinese tradition to be buried in your hometown. >> we need to find her and take her home. >> reporter: the family has also sent a letter to president trump. they are asking for any help that he can provide. the trial is supposed to start in september, but his attorney tell us us he's going to be asking for a delay to review evidence. >> anna, thanks. the remnants of what was tropical storm harvey is expected to bring major flooding to parts of texas later this week. harvey is forecast to gain strength over the gulf of mexico. some areas could get upwards of

7:33 am
organizations at penn state university. they were implemented in response to the death of timothy piazza earlier this year. prosecutors allege the sophomore was hazed into drinking excessive amounts of alcohol at a party. piazza's parents pushed penn state to make changes. they're here this morning with their reaction in an interview you'll see only on cbs. first, here's a look at the tragedy that led to the new measures. >> reporter: preliminary hearings are under way for members of the now-closed beta theta pi frat house. 18 of them are facing charges in connection to the death of sophomore timothy piazza. he died in february following an initiation ceremony that involved heavy drinking. he fell down a flight of stairs and hit his head repeatedly, often in view of his fraternity brothers. no one called for help until the following morning. >> we have a friend who's unconscious. >> reporter: during hearings in july, the prosecution presented apparently incriminating text messages sent from some of the frat brothers.
7:34 am
i don't want to go to jail for this, wrote one member. >> the boys themselves knew what they did. the text admitted it right after, before he even passes away. they say it's because of hazing, it's because of the drinking, we caused this, we should have called 911. >> reporter: but lawyers for the 16 defendants who appeared at the preliminary hearing claim the evidence doesn't warrant a trial. some argue the brothers didn't force piazza to drink and can't be held responsible for knowing the difference between intoxication and serious injury. two of the brothers waived their right to a preliminary hearing. now with the fall semester under way, penn state president eric barron is implementing more than a dozen reforms to greek life at the school. the university will take responsibility for oversight and discipline of fraternities and sororities. social restrictions addressing alcohol use will remain in place as well as a no tolerance policy for hazing. >> timothy piazza's parents, jim and evelyn, are with us now,
7:35 am
along with their attorney tom cline. good morning. >> good morning. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> we've got the school year starting up again. it's been six months since your son's death. how are you doing? >> it's hard. especially having to bring our son back to school this past weekend. >> he goes to penn state. >> it's your older son. >> yes. so we were -- normally we'd make a couple day trip. we were in and out the same day. we just couldn't stick around. it was hard knowing that we should have been bringing two kids back. zb >> jim, we now know penn state has announced some of these changes, which you have been pushing for, your family has been pushing for. are they enough? >> well, you know, i think they're a good start. we've been in contact with president barron for the past six months about proposals that they need to implement. many of the proposals that they've put forth are our
7:36 am
suggestions, but there's still more they need to do. they haven't really implemented a lot of them yet. at the end of the day, they need to implement and more importantly enforce. but we're happy to see that they've taken responsibility and said that their oversight has been severely lacking for greek life. we're happy they're taking responsibility for disciplinary actions. but they have the same people involved. those people are ineffective, so i'm concerned about that. >> one of the defense attorneys argued in a hearing recently that nobody forced tim, your son, to drink and said expecting young men to be able to distinguish between extreme intoxication and a head injury, quote, places an impossible burden on them. what do you say to those who argue that, listen, this was just a tragic accident? >> evelyn? >> they said right away, somebody texted he fell hair first. they knew he hit his head. he was unconscious. he was having seizures. they knew he was in a bad way. who hasn't been involved with high school sports and concussions? you know. you know this stuff.
7:37 am
>> i just think it's an absurd statement. he wanted to be part of this club. they fed significant amounts of alcohol into him. your judgment immediately starts to so sideways. and they continued to force alcohol on him and all the other pledges. >> you said force alcohol. you don't consider your son a reckless person. >> absolutely not. tim was a good guy. he was not a drinker. >> how do you know he wasn't a drinker? >> i've talked to his friends and his roommates. i asked them. i was concerned. they said, no, he was not a big drinker. i think that these guys just put so much alcohol into all these young men and, you know -- >> and then didn't watch them, let them be on their own. >> that brings up an interesting point. a lot of parents hope there's an adult in the room as kids are partying, and there's a man named tim breem, the fraternity's adult adviser. he was in the house the night of the party. he declined our request for do punished? >> yeah, well, let's get this
7:38 am
straight. they were all adults. tim breem we believe is cup pan -- culpable. but they were all adults. they committed crimes. after they committed those crimes and put our son in grave danger, they went to bed. >> and tried to cover it up the next day when they knew it was bad. >> the other thing that's so difficult is there's a tape. it's on tape. that's what -- >> surveillance video, yeah. >> i can't stop thinking about that. you agreed to watch it only if you watch it with the university president. >> and the trustees. >> and you wanted to do that why? >> i only wanted to do that so they would do it, so they could see the severity of what happened. we want them to watch it. we personally do not want to watch it, but if they make us, we will. but they need to watch it so they can implement these changes. again, they need to enforce. without enforcement, none of this is really going to do anything. >> tom, we've heard penn state's president say that the university will, quote, push for statewide legislation to toughen penalties for hazing. is the law the problem?
7:39 am
>> well, the people are the problem, but law is a great deterrent. we're working with the majority leader in pennsylvania. we're also working with representative in the congress. we're working to change the law. we believe stiffer penalties will mean deterrence, and that's a key. >> but if there's a parent who's sending their son or daughter to college, what's the message that you have about safety? >> go in with your eyes open, talk to your kids. this could happen to anybody. if it happened to tim, it could happen to anybody. and if it doesn't feel right, if something makes you uncomfortable, if you feel pressured, don't do it. you're not invincible. you're so important to somebody, somewhere. >> i also encourage all the parents that if they hear something that they should also speak up and say something. we've heard a lot of stories about severe hazing at penn state now from a lot of people. some have written letters to the
7:40 am

8:35 am
>> mary's overcome cancer and she's got a pretty mean swing. >> she's got a great swing. i said to her before we started, as long as you don't beat me too badly here. >> buckle up. >> at only 28 years old, mcilroy's golf resume is staggering. >> yes! >> he's already a four-time major champion. but this year marked a major milestone for rory off the course. >> just got married a few months ago. this is actually three months today. sorry, no, four months today. >> you got to get the anniversary date right. >> yeah, four months today. >> marrying erica stohl in april, former pga employee he first met in 2012. >> i know you said about yore wife, erica, this year, i can be myself around her, no acting, no show, no judgment from day one. is that something you didn't have before? >> no, it's not something i didn't have before but it's something that i feel people in my position sometimes it's hard to get that because anyone you
8:36 am
meet, they have a preconceived idea of what you're like. so, it's hard to meet someone that puts that to one side. >> can i ask you about tiger woods? i know he's a friend of yours. have you talked to him recently? how is he doing? >> yeah. i talked to him a couple of days ago actually. he's doing good. i think he's really focused on his health right now and getting better. he started t eed to chip and pu. he's ways away from making a full swing but look, he has had some tough times and again it's hard when you're through these tough times and under the spotlight because, again, people have these prereceived ideas of what you're like and sometimes that's just not who they are. i'm very lucky to have known tiger on a personal level for quite a few years now and he's always been great to me. we've formed a really good relationship. >> i mean, do you think he'll be back next year? >> uh, i mean, you've got to think he's going to turn 42 in
8:37 am
december and jack nicklaus didn't win his first major until he was 46. >> did you have fun playing golf with president trump? >> i enjoyed my time. i enjoyed my time with the president. to go there and just soak in the whole environment, it's pretty incredible. especially if you haven't been exposed to it before. >> you mean playing with the president of the united states? >> playing with the president of the united states and just being around him. he's pointing out if you look in the trees there's a sharpshooter. it's incredible. he said to me, rory, this is the safest you'll ever feel today, playing golf with me. so, it was a cool experience. >> does president trump putt out? because he plays fast. >> he does play fast. sometimes not. sometimes he will give himself some putts but that's fine.
8:38 am
he's the president. he can have that luxury. but i enjoyed my day with him. like we didn't talk politics. i think it was nice for him to talk golf and talk about the different grasses on the greens and all that sort of stuff. so, he's in tune with the game and has been a big supporter of golf over the years. >> all right. i'm just going to plunge one out there. swinging from high above yankee stadium, my 6 iron hit center field. >> whoa! >> nice! that works. >> rory, are you available this weekend? rory's 6 iron gave him his first career yankee stadium home run. >> whoo! look at that! >> sorry! >> you were aiming for "cbs this morning," right? >> didn't quite get there. there we go. it's fine. >> that's awesome. really awesome. >> there you go. >> thanks. >> thank you. nice to meet you. >> yeah.
8:39 am
>> well done. lovely to meet you. >> very nice. >> yeah. >> were you nervous hitting in front of him? >> was i nervous? oh, my gosh. >> are you a golfer? >> bad. >> she's a very good golfer. were you nervous? >> anybody who plays golf at my level every once in a while you could swing the club and it might miss the ball, you hit behind it. >> shank it into the dugout. >> yeah. i was worried about shanking it. it came off pretty nice. blessing in disguise. not in disguise. it was just a blessing. >> you look good, norah. look at you. >> and he seems like he's in a good place. >> he's in a good place. i think we're going to put more -- we should point out that the pga tour playoffs do begin this week on cbs. i've got more of my interview with rory mcilroy on cbsthismorning.com. more news that will make news in the sports world. we talk about his injury scare and what part of his game he thinks still needs improvement. of course, there's a big tournament this weekend on cbs, northern trust tournament.

we are with louise penny. she's sold more than 4 million books worldwide. her books have been published in 30 countries, translated into 25 languages. this girl is good . her latest book is called glass houses. a mysterious figure appears on the village green and then, dum dum dum, trouble follows. it follows and follows. we welcome louise penny to the table. good morning, i love when she sat down, i loved your golf segment. she said do you play golf. she said yes, i was just golfing with president clinton. that's pretty nice company. okay, let's talk about this book. what i think is so fascinating about the inspector. years ago when you started writing about him, you said i want to write about a guy i would like to marry and the qualities of that. what does that mean?
8:45 am
>> when i first started designing the series, i didn't actually think -- i wanted it to be published. i didn't believe it would be because it's hard. i knew that the writing of it would have to be reward enough. because it may be the only reward i would get. i created a village i would live in, populate would characters i would choose as friends. and then it came time to create the main character. and initially i thought, well, i'll make him, oh, a man at odds with himself, maybe some sort of an addict of some sort. an unhappy fellow. then i thought, why? i can go down to the local bar if i want that. i'm a god, why would i create that? i heard that agatha christie had grown to hate poirot, her famous

character. if i become connected to this character i didn't want to get tired of him. >> then michael enters your life who you lost recently. you said writing glass houses became a solace for you. >> michael was the inspiration for the inspector. not only did i create a man i would marry, i actually did marry him. yeah, michael was diagnosed with dementia three or four years ago. and when i started writing these books shortly after 9/11, i thought that it would create a safe place for people who are feeling unsafe in the world, as i was. i get letters from readers saying that reading the books is comforting for them. which means a lot to me. i never ever dreamed that i would find so much comfort in writing the books as michael was
8:47 am
dying. i thought once michael went i % wouldn't be able to write anymore because he was my muse, the cheerleader. the opposite has happened. and the inspector is so infused with my husband, that it has made him in many ways immortal. >> you write, too, that murder is a way to explore human nature. how so? >> well, i think we're never more ourselves than when we are pushed. it's easy to be a decent human being when everything is going my way. but what happens when it's not? and that's when we see true character come out. so that's what i want. >> i think so, too. >> under stress. >> thank god, really. >> i love your story as a novelist, because you used to have this gig, cnbc, broadcaster, radio. and decided i'm going to write the perfect novel.
8:48 am
>> that's right. i was watching oprah and eating gummy bears. michael stopped asking. >> this ain't going no where. >> like when i reached 35 and mom stopped asking me if i had met any nice men. >> what broke you through then and what advice do you have? >> a couple of things. i noticed that in my life when horrible things happen, they seem to happen out of the blue but in fact they don't. it's a cavalcade of smaller events. the same with this thing, michael and i moved out of the city into the country. this book is set in the country. i fell in with a bunch of creative women who were courageous, who had the courage to do what i didn't and that was to risk failing. and i didn't want to fail. that's why i thought it had to be the best book out of the gate. if i couldn't do that, i was frozen. >> there's a lot of food in the book, which made me hungry and
