what is malice murder? >> it's a top count which could mean the death penalty which could be instituted. we'll know that in two or three weeks. that's what we think of as premeditated intentional murder. he planned this, he searched on the internet about child deaths. he searched on the internet about wanting a child-free life. he had the child in a car seat that was too small and facing the other way. he took out an insurance policy on the life of a child, unheard of for the care giver to take out an insurance policy on a child. >> if they can't prove premeditation, what are we looking at? >> well, we're really looking at a very, very good alternative theory for the prosecution because the underlying felony. we think a felony murder is you commit a robbery and someone dies. that's a felony. here it's child cruelty including two theories of that, one being negligent. he just left the child in the car for seven hours and gort. >> the sexually explicit text?

>> it's to make him look like a creepy guy, bad guy and the texts involve a 17-year-old girl. that's not good. >> and the wife? >> the wife is fine. she's not been charged. unless she says something incriminating at some point i don't expect her to be charged. >> thank you, rikki. the seahawks kicked off the season with a win and explains why they're super bowl fans. they haven't lost their touch. the seahawks dominated the packers in the season opener, winning 36-16. and we're counting down for the start of "thursday night football" here on cbs. the first game is just six games way. you can see the steelers and the ravens here on cbs. >> looking forward to that. it's 7:19. and ahead on "cb

bailey made an announcement. >> suddenly there was this announcement for three individuals to get off the plane, go to the gate. finally they did stand up, two women and male, and they proceeded to the door and the gate. we saw police surround the plane, fbi in their jackets. >> reporter: it stems from a child custody investigation. a child was traveling with his mother. the child's father, an american citizen, alerted the fbi, fearing the mother was taking the child to china with no plans of returning. at the airport the mother was taken into police custody on attempted kidnapping charges. the child was safely returned to his father. it started to make sense to the passengers on board. >> they finally came on board and say we were experiencing mechanical problems. after they left, the pilot came back on said and he had deliberately misled us. he thought in his judgment that was the best thing to do given the circumstances of a potential abduction, that that's the

reason we had diverted. >> reporter: had the plane landed in canada or china and had the fbi not intervened it may have turned into a protracted international custody battle. in 2009 david goldman drew international attention after his wife took their son sean to brazil. after a legal battle he then regained custody of a 9-year-old. the fbi knew they had to move quickly to prevent that kind of scenario in this case. later on today the child's mother is expected in a virginia courtroom. charlie? >> jeff, thanks. this morning a closer look at the mothers taking on one of the nation's biggest supermarket chance. kroger's allows customers to carry guns into the stores. they're trying to use kroger's own rules to shame the company. jan crawford shows us how the gun control advocates aren't stopping there. she's in washington. good morning. >> good morning.

not against the second amendment but they believe people shouldn't be able to walk around grocery stores with loaded weapons. >> these are deceptive ads that attempt to try and paint everybody in a very odd corner, but the fact is they're isolated incidents. in most cases firearms are used very judiciously, quietly. >> reporter: in a statement kroger said our long-standing policy on this issue is to follow state and local laws. we know our customers are passionate on both sides of the issue and we trust them to be responsible in our stores. the chain is the latest business to come under fire by the group which also mounted pressure on target and starbucks. eventually both companies asked their customers not bring firearms into their stores. >> hopefully kroger will respond quickly and we can move on to other companies and laws and policies but we aren't going

away. >> now, the group isn't just limiting itself to newspaper ads. it's also bought billboard space in cincinnati, ohio. that, of course, is the home of kroger's headquarters. gayle? >> all right. thank you, jan. pope francis showed off his networking skills at his first google hangout where he took video questions from students around the world. >> what we really want to know is how it will bridge the program between the various countries today. >> the pope's program focuses on using technology, art, and sports to promote social interaction. it's said the pope understands the power of the web. >> all of these questions about peace and education and social justice he seems to be suggest big doing things like this, having google hangouts and building camaraderie between people of different nations that we can solve the world's

to me. >> reporter: sheila from the irs. he told her she owe 0d$,000 in back taxes. in a second call he threatened to put her in jail if she didn't pay. >> the only thing going through my mind is, okay, my house will be taken away and i saw myself going to jail. i was -- i was just scare and mortified and i didn't know what to do but to follow his instructions. >> she la is one of thousands of victims who have been told to purchase these moneypak cards, load them with cash and provide the con artist with the code on the back. the money can be cashed out without being traced. >> is this scam growing or shrinking? it's definitely growing. >> reporter: the chief of communications at the irs. what's really different about

this one is the aggressive nature of the phone calls, people calling and threatening to bring out local police, threatening deportation. these are not things that the irs does. >> reporter: he said victims who are often immigrants or elderly have lost more than 45 million dollars since it started. they say the original scam artists and several copy cats mask their identities with false phone numbers from los angeles and washington, d.c. some show up as internal revenue service on the caller i.d. >> we've seen year after year at the irs, these scams morph and change and the scam artists move around. they're not easy to catch. >> reporter: sheila was not able to get any of her money back. she lost all $30,000. and federal investigators are look into this but they say the scammers change their phone numbers so frequently, it's really difficult to track them down. so, gayle, they say the best they can do for now is just get the word out.

>> you have certainly done that. thank you, nancy. i can see how some people can fall for that if your caller i.d. says irs and then an irs employee falls for it. these guys are good. >> i think the best thing is if the irs says you owe them money, say i'll send it directly to the irs in the mail. >> good advice, nor real oh donl. a search for a snake is finally over. see how some people are

came in, he said, what do you do, they said i'm an actress. >> you knew him as a tot. >> i knew him as a tot. he came in and sent me a note, you're right, they're wrong. >> you believed it. >> honey, that went into my bra and stayed there for three years. and then when i got on the carson show, he said, i told you sew, lenny bruce. that just -- he, my generation was george carlin, richard pryor, he was the god for us hchl e was the one we all aspired to be. >> because? >> because he spoke the truth. >> yeah. what is it about you, you think, that gives you this tenacity to survive and to bounce back? >> two things. >> fear. >> fear -- no. truly. truly. you know this business. the tenacity is i never thought that i'm so terrific that anything's beneath me. truly, i've never been the one

to say that's not my job, i'm a star, i don't do that. that has never, ever crossed my mind. okay, that's number one. number two is i have to make a living and i go to make a living and this is what i do. >> did you spend a lot of time thinking about what you could have been, which is johnny cars carson's successor, and how you blew that opportunity? >> i never allow myself to think what could have been because you can't change things. >> right. >> i never -- what happened -- get it out of the way, move forward. >> what is your talent on stage? >> i think i am the neighbor that says what you're thinking. >> yeah. >> you know, that you go, did you whaer she said? it's true. >> that's right. >> i think that's who i am on stage. >> it's so great to see you, it really is. >> it's always great to see you. >> what thrills me is it gives people a chance to understand and see. you know, it reminds us of how

and how lucky we are. how lucky we are. every minute, this has been my life. >> nancy o'dell. >> that was two years ago. it was so touching to see that. >> so touching to see that. nancy o'dell is with us, co-host of "entertainment tonight." nancy, good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah and gayle. that's more evidence of that incredible relationship that joan and melissa had. how comforting to melissa to have that piece of video right there. at the time joan was actually planning on having plastic surgery on her neck and the irony of that is melissa was concerned over the health risk of her 78-year-old mother undergoing a procedure, something she had become so well known for. the two worked so closely together on a number of projects over the years, melissa producing and co-starring in many of them. and they were fixtures on the red carpet. i saw them so many different times on the red carpet, covering everything from the oscars to the grammys. you can also see that joan kept

such a positive outlook about her life, feeling very lucky for all the years of success and the longevity she's had in theed by. in fact, melissa said on thursday her mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh and you get the sense that joan wanted to bring people that joy every time that she could, even after she had died. in fact, she actually wrote about her death in a 2012 book. she said, quote, whelp i dn i d want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action. i don't want some rabbi rambling on. i want meryl streep crying in five different accents. i want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like beyonce. she wanted a employee dry and a toe tag with harry winston

diamonds. >> she died on beyonce's birthday. we've heard all sorts of tributes. what stories have you been hearing on joan rivers today? >> ev remembering the life she she brought. sarah jessica parker being one. she challenged joan to the als ice bucket challenge, one of three people. we asked sara why she challenged her to do the ice bucket challenge, why she chose joan. she said, actually because i knew she would make something so serious so funny in a good way and that's what i think everybody remembers about joan, that she could take a very serious situation and make it very funny. her funeral is scheduled to be on sunday in new york city. and i can imagine it's going to be of a celebratory nature with lots of laughs because that's the way she would have wanted it. >> what i loved about her career, she kept coming back. notwithstanding a lot of

challenges she kept coming back and was doing that until the end. >> she was so relevant. >> nancy, thank you, thank you. >> we'll have mump this evening on the life and legacy of joan rivers so check your local listings. the newest kennedy honorees including another female comic. we're talking about lillie tomlin now. she is onner this th year's list. tom hanks, yay, also will be hobbed along with bailer rina, patricia mcbride and two musicians, sting and al greerng river green they call him now. that will happen in washington later this year. and you can watch the kennedy honors right here december 30th on cbs. >> always love those. ahead on "cbs this morni

leave it to "cosmopolitan" magazine to do this, hints to sex it up and steal katy perry's flat abs tip. it believes it's crucial to women. >> cosmo is ready to make endorsements just like newspapers. cosmo votes goes on sale monday when beyonce asks you to save the date. that would be november 4th. welcome back to studio 57. >> thank you. >> a lot of people who read cosmo has stories like ten craziest sex moves i've ever used or should use. >> and you should use them. i want you all to try them when you go home tonight. >> you're telling us about sex moves to use. >> which issue is this? >> this is one of the best cover lines. 24 big bang moves that you've never thought of.

i got up to 11. >> and you're exhausted. >> where were you, norah? >> so anyway -- >> from sex now to endorsing candidates. why? >> well, i think that it's interesting because everyone says, oh r, cosmo is doing politics. cosmo has always been interested in issues that impact women's lifestyles. there are two issues we feel strong about and readers are. it's equal pay for equal work which you would think in 2014 it would be done and also access to great health care and contraception because if you're a magazine like cosmo and we want people to have a great sexy fun lives you need to think about contraception because niegtser men nor women want to have baby every time they have sex. >> that is true. >> i'm sorry to say but it is true. so when we look at the political landscape, this is an important election. when you look at college

intakes, 52% of college intake is young women. none of them are coming out of college and say, oh, i'd love to earn 23% less than the guy who studied next to them. none of them are going into the office and say, please pay me 26% less. >> the difference, joanna, you're getting into the endorsement business. that's new. i'm curious, what does it take to get a cosmo endorsement? what what are you looking for. >> all need to take sex positions and report back. >> that will have a political impact too. >> it might get people working together. >> i was going to say. i think we might get cross-poll nei nation across the house. there are several key races. one with thom tillis and kay hagan. you look at a character like thom tillis who actually kills equal pay, the equal pay bill in his state and he supports

personhood which actually means that they want to take the iud out of circulation for women. now, the -- out of circulation for couples actually because men get benefits from the iud too. so those are candidates we want you to know will have an impact on your life if they win. >> and this is so interesting because in the debate one of the things that was so interesting to me that thom tillis the republican said is women should have more access to contra spgs including over-the-counter contraception. i was taken aback because i've not seen him take that position but it was clearly to close a wide gender gap in that state and there are other republican candidates who say there should be more broad access to contraceptive. >> yes. i think the contraception you can buy over the counter without your doctor being involved is less reliable. of course, you can use condoms but it is not as reliable as something like the iud which is much easier to use. >> or the birth control pill. >> of course. the pill. and you have the governor's race

in wisconsin where the governor there, the male governor. >> scott walker. >> thank you. scott walker. i was making sure i didn't exchange him with something else, introducing sonograms for women wanting abortion. these are life-changing choices for women and we want them to know about it. >> joanna, the obvious question comes are you only going to be endorsing democratic candidates? >> no. interestingly, i don't think this is as much about democrats and republicans as it is generational, that young women and young men are all looking across the spectrum of these candidates and thinking who are the people who understand science. you remember the last election, the crazy comments from troy aik aiken, the women who get raped can't have abortions. we were having a conference to discuss it in november at the lincoln center. >> thank you, joanna coles.

she wants to be the cover girl for >> good morning, everyone, i'm ukee washington, amber alert with local connection has been canceled. police say four year old ismail went missing last night, he's been found safe and sound near his home in tampa, florida adam matos has been taken into it is custody. moved to florida just few months ago, from the lehigh valley. police say the four year olds is okay. their investigation is not over. let's get your forecast now with kate. over in the weather center. good morning. >> good morning, everyone, happy friday. hope you're having nice start to your day. it is warm, steamy out there. >> 89 degrees your high today, mostly sunny, scatter afternoon showers and storms

welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour, supermodel, actress, mom, now amber valetta is adding a new title to her bio. recovering addict. lee woodruff is in our toyota green room. she talked with amber valetta about a secret hidden for years. a business opens its business for free. production where the audience is the star. that's ahead. we look at bizarre fallout from the celebrity photo hacking scandal. a florida exhibit will feature those nude images. they will be life-like and unaltered. it will be, quote, who we are.

in the end we become used. >> i don't know about that. >> capital "w" wrong. >> i agree. seattle's offer was mixed in with green. they were on the lookout for unruly fans at centurylink field. "the new york times" say a colorado ski resort town is being used for a beer ad but many locals don't want to raise a glass. the streets and light post were painted blue to promote bud light. a thousand young adults are flying in for the stunt. anheuser-busch paid the town half a million dollars but one calls it vulgar and cheap. >> always great place to ski. and the "washington post" says the minor league team plans to wear uniforms of the seinfeld

puffy shirts. the name will be back on the jerseys during the game and most of the clothing will auctioned off for charity. a good way to get attention. >> now that's funny. two decades ago amber valetta was one of the world's most recognizable faces. the supermodel appeared in campaigns with the likes of kate months, and christy turlington. she's been featured on the cover of "vogue" 16 times but even with her fame, valetta kept something very hidden. something you'll see only on "cbs this morning." >> well, it's easy to look at this stunning model and actress, amber valetta, and assume that her life has been charmed. but just this summer amber admitted during her rise to fame in the 1990s, she was a drug and alcohol addict. >> i hit my bottom when i was 25. i hit my bottom.

i remember it very well. i think when you come to a point and you look in the mirror and you can't say anything nice to yourself, that's a real problem. >> at 25 years old, amber valetta's career had hit a high, but behind the glamor and makeup she was keeping a serious secret. >> the first time i tried cocaine, i was in it. first time. and the last time i used, i -- let me just put it this way. i hadn't slept in a while. i ended up going to st. vincent's alone and walking home alone after they released me the next day, and that is not a good feeling. >> but that's not where it began. discovered by a tulsa modeling agency at 15, amber valetta was swept up in the heyday of 1990s fashion. she landed a "vogue" cover at 17 and by 18 she ended up in europe running around with a high society crowd. >> what did that feel like to rule the worldsome. >> i didn't think about ruling

the world, but it was like being in a sorority, you know. we were like college age and having great time and a lot of fun. >> reporter: appearances on mtv's "house of style" catapulted her into the pop culture stratosphere. >> i work a lot, maybe too much. i need to slow down. >> reporter: the money and access began to flow and so did the drugs and alcohol. >> were friends and family saying to you you've got an issue, we need to talk to you about it? >> nobody really came out to me directly except my mom. she gave me a pretty strong lectu lecture. i think my real friends were over it. >> she soon sought help and in 2000 after living sober for just one year gave birth to her son. >> i still work as a model from time to time.

>> reporter: amber has lived in recovery for the past 15 years, turning 40 this year prompted her to share her story. >> why now? why come out now with your sobriety? >> i believe that addiction is still considered something shameful and that if you had the willpower you could fix it, and that's just not true. it's time to lift the veil. >> what did that feel like to do that? >> it felt like a relief because i've guarded it so privately in the public so it showing myself. >> addiction runs in the family yet she acknowledges her son is heading into the vulnerable years. >> how will that go with your son? >> i mean i know he's going to experiment. i mean i kind of hope he doesn't, but he has such intense

information about it and he's seen it really up close. but i also don't want to be like the crazy parent that's like, you know, hovering and watching and not giving him his spate because i'm afraid if i don't allow him to do and make mistakes, he will also push against me. >> what would amber valetta tell her younger self now? >> don't be afraid to be strong, bold, careless about what people say. >> yet despite 16 covers of "vogue" and her status as a fashion icon, bringing staty attention to her status as an addiction will be her proudest. >> will this be the most you've accomplished in your life? >> absolutely. i want to tell people they have nothing to be ashamed of. come out of the darkness.

come into the light. you can recover from this disease and you don't have to be a prisoner to something. >> amber told us she wish she had just one more year in tulsa before modeling. she's an avid reader. we spent a lot of time talking about books. she might be writing one. i think she should. one thing she would tell aspiring models today is finish high school which i think is very wise advice. >> i think it's great speaking out. somebody looking at her will say it happened to you? and it will help others in ways she can't manage. >> she's gotten that reaction. you've come out of it. >> she came out of what? >> drugs and alcohol. >> she's remarkable. >> she's beautiful inside and out. she's amazing. >> lee, thank you so much. and shakespeare wrote all the world is a stage. now his words are getting a modern spin you could say. jamie wax is in new york central
