tuesday where he will be charged. that appearance after tuesday, he will be transferred to an adult felony division after tuesday's appearance. today just an advisement. has not been formally charged. we do expect that to come down tuesday and moving forward, as i mentioned, the adult felony division after that point. that's where we stand right now with what happened in court today. >> all right. mo what more do we know? let's start with people who knew him. are we getting anything from someone who went to class with him in college, grew up with him? >> i contacted the college this morning. he did just register. he has only been enrolled in college in his first semester for the last few weeks. as soon as the semester started the beginning of september. i also spoke with the school district that did confirm to me that he did go to school in the area, elementary school, middle

school, all the way up to high school, where he did drop out in 11th grade. he did receive his ged just before applying to college. i was reading a few online reports just before we went live here, mike. and there was a local station that did reach out to a former girlfriend who dated him in eighth grade and then again in high school. she said he was very christian, very kind. she ran into him about a year ago. he did not seem the same. in that same area where he allegedly attacked a 22-year-old. this attack against a 22-year-old jogger that happened back in may, which is linked to the jessica ridgeway case. she was 22. she was able to get away. she was attacked. jessica, unfortunately, just a little girl. wasn't so lucky in this particular case. and not only was she abducted and murdered and dismembered, but dumped like a piece of trash in the middle of the woods. as you know, she went miss iing october 5th, found five days later. >> just terrible. >> it is. >> and when we look at the

incident in may, his m.o. was, what, to use a rag with with chemicals? >> that's right. >> probably trying to knock out or subdue this jogger. thankfully, she was able to get away. are authorities or anybody saying that's the same method he tried to use on jessica? >> they're not saying exactly how jessica was abducted, but, you know, what they are saying is that there were clues, evidence, possibly dna. the cross, we learned just yesterday -- well, between the night before and yesterday about this cross that was linked and left behind. and so, you know, this is what we know about this teenager. he was pretty active in his community. had friends. was seen hanging out on those trails and within that area. where sigg lived is about one mile away from where jessica went missing and where jessica lives. you have to take that into consideration as well. he probably spent a lot of time. if he is convicted and he is

guilty of these crimes, trolling the area, going around, knowing his surroundings. >> his house very close to the reservoir, where he is accused of trying to attack the 22-year-old. with your experience in covering cases like this, is this a case you think -- i'm sure authorities are asking the questions and dig iging around. did he case this neighborhood? did he know these little kids, jessica being included in that, took a two or three block to anita park and then walked to school together? >> in a lot of these cases especially when there is stranger abductions, about 115 children are abducted, stranger abductions every single year. and in most of these cases -- you see this just as much as i do, mike. is that these people sometimes plan it out. they know these children, when they're leaving, where they're going, who they're meeting with. obviously, jessica, there was a period of time when she's by herself in the morning. going out to meet her friends

and making that walk to school. in many of these cases from what we know is that it's a crime of opportunity. and it's just so hard to say, lock up your kids. keep them inside. do all these protective measures when you live in a safe community and your chirp are walking together. >> that's what's so chilling about this. we want our kids to be able to meet up with their friends in a park and walk to school. but then we have this. last one real quick, michelle, leaning on your experience here. when you heard the age, 17 -- 17. most in that community expected somebody older. >> you're right. 17. just a child. we saw this earlier this week, mike, in the new jersey case where the 15-year-old and 17-year-old were also charged with murder of another little girl. this is horrific. he had his whole life ahead of him. obviously this other crime happened in may. here we are, in october.

there was a lot going on between that time. maybe he possibly could have targeted other victims in the area. maybe there were other things that happened. i do encourage people if they do remember something that sort of stood out to them in their brain or maybe something at the time seemed normal but now it seems a little abnormal, reach out to the westminster police and give them your information. there could be things to help investigators sort of tie in that timeline and start to close things down and figure out why the heck did something like this happen? why was this little girl abducted and why was she murdered and dismembered and not intact? now a family is just -- they're grieving. now here we are, talking about it. >> in court, wearing jessica's favorite color, purple. mom with a purple ribbon in her hair. so sad. hopefully there's some sol aace that an arrest has been made.

take a look at the very latest radar images, hurricane sandy heading north about 16 miles an hour, still packing a punch as a category 2 storm, sustained winds at 105 miles an hour. two deaths reported, one in jamaica, one in haiti. it made landfall in cuba early thursday morning, blew over trees, damaged homes on the island. the wind is starting to whip up in miami. there is a storm warning along parts of florida's east coast. sandy could combine with another system bringing strong winds, rain and snow to the northeast next week. a monkey who has been on the run for years finally caught. this little guy even had his own facebook page. he has been bouncing around florida since he escaped cap activity three years ago. wildlife officials set traps with bananas, but he would grab the treats and run. timely after a five-hour stakeout, they nabbed him with the help of a tranquilizer gun. >> we first saw him and a had a

dart pistol. and it was too far for the range. so i got the dart rifle and had a good shot. >> he has to get locked up. do i like it? not really. >> reporter: >> it became a priority after it attacked someo someone's grandma. earlier this month. wildlife officials say it will eventually be placed with a wi d wildlife agency. now you have youth football. is it too dangerous? what can we do to make the game safe? you have an expert that will talk about it. about once a month. last time i was at a gas station was about...i would say... two months ago. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i go to the gas station such a small amount

we're talking youth football, ages 10 to 12. what we have again, five concussions, one game, all on the lozing team. this happened in massachusetts, southbridge. they beat them 52-0. but their players, five with

concussions, 10 to 12-year-olds. again, the overriding sentiment here is the referees were banned for life and coaches suspended for a year, that the adults failed the kids. to the bigger question, is youth football too dangerous? what can we do to make the game more safe? i talk about the specific issue with kim -- ken bellson. did someone diagnose concussions on the soidline? >> no. they have an emt who was there, volunte volunteer, who was on the sideline and he saw what have been called preconcussion signals, the kid's eyes rolling in his head, dizzy, couldn't answer some precautions. they took the kid out of the game, as a precaution, took off their shoulder pads and they weren't vo allowed back in. only a couple of days later they were formally diagnosed with a concussion but it was obviously enough evidence to take them out

of the game. that should have been the signal right there. >> he'll take your calls later on this. is youth football too dangerous? what can we do to make the game safer? 1-877-tell-hln. we van expert joining us from the national athletic trainers association, jim, i want to get your take on this situation. throw kids with concussions, not diagnosed until after the game. what should have been done? what can we learn from this? >> these types of injuries happen at all ages. and the problem is that there is not -- i understand there was an emt there, but the problem is that the overall care of the athlete it is not taken care of. parents need to ask themselves who is taking care of their kids. if it's a coach who has minimal training, i don't bloev that's

enough. >> absolutely. i don't even think there are enough athletic trainers in high school football where the collisions are obviously more severe. yet they can be as or more damaging for youth football. are we any closer to getting qualified people on the sideline to diagnose a concussion and get a kid off the field? >> that is one of the major pushes of our organization. less than 50% of high school athletes have access at all to a certified athletic trainer. it's been somewhat frustrating because parents would never drop their kids off at a public pool without a lifeguard. yet we will allow them to play sports like football and rugby, lacrosse, those types of things that can cause injuryies every bit as painful and as serious. i think that having -- one of our pushes is to make sure that certified athletic trainers are in our high schools, secondary schools and less than 50% is just -- that's not good enough.

>> that's woeful. you know, that's woeful. even more so with youth football. i want you to make this point. you and i talked a little bit before this segment. youth football programs or high school football programs come together, it should be in the budget to have certified trainers on the sidelines. >> most schools have a nurse at the school that takes care of kids, as they should, during their least active time during the day. yet at 2:30 in the afternoon when they are the most active, interest is no health care for over 50%. we're talking only 42%, by best numbers, have access at all. a significant number less than that has a certified athletic trainer on staff full time. usually the reason is money. but money is really -- if we can

afford to have those programs, high schools and secondary schools should find a way to make sure that those athletes are managed, their health care is managed by someone trained to do so. >> you've got to be safe, whether there's an athletic trainer on the field. at least the coaches, we've got to do a better job in making sure that the coaches are versed, what symptoms are of a concussion, make sure that coach knows about it. so they get them off the field. obviously that didn't happen in the case of massachusetts. jim, good talking to you. is youth football too dangerous? love to hear from you on that. love to hear from you as well if you think you have ideas to make the game safer for our kids. and, do you think it's safe enough for your kid to play football?

i hate to be rejected. so i'm no longer being rejected. i'm being here. >> reporter: the new elevator is just part of a year-long $30 million renovation that also includes upgrading stairwells and making safety improvements. the end result, a more accessible lady liberty that will allow an additional 26,000 visitors each year a chance to enjoy her spectacular views. >> when these adaptions are made it opens up tremendous opportunities for all of us. >> reporter: two generations of wounded warriors were among the first to see the renovations. i joined kurt bauer, and jesse aacosta, who suffered injuries to his hip from a roadside bomb in iraq on the climb to the top. you stuck your head out of -- >> the crown. >> the crown. so what do you think? is this what you expected?

>> fantastic. actually, it's more tight than i thought, looking up. but it is just an incredible view. >> reporter: the renovation was full of challenges. because of the statue's location and because they had to do it all without drilling into any part of the historic structure. >> it was a challenge, a huge challenge. we have to envision all of this, make this building more safe, more code compliant, more accessible, more welcoming and do it in a way that respected the historic fabric. >> it's very impressive to see what they did, to see the investment in a world heritage site to allow those with perceived disabilities, those who need access to see historical sites, to be able to touch it, see it that much closer, it's really generous, really wonderful to be here. >> reporter: for the statue's superintendent, david luxin gechlt r, who has lived on liberty island for more than three years, this moment among the most memorable. >> to be able to welcome our

>> hurricane sandy has packed a punch as it passes through the caribbean. two deaths have been blamed on the system, one in jamaica, one in haiti. folks along the coast of florida may start seeing the effects of that storm as well. all right, chad. is it going to hit the u.s.? if so, where? are we seeing effects in florida yet? >> i think the answer is does it hit the u.s., the word would be

likely, better than 50/50 that it hits the u.s. somewhere. there's a chance that it doesn't turn left soon enough to hit the u.s. and hits atlantic canada, halifax, nova scotia. it's affecting florida with big waves and some rain across south florida. the surf will be the rip tides, rip currents that will be coming there, pulling people out. you'll have people out there trying to surf in this weather. you really don't want to do that. that's obviously a break water from wsvn, our affiliate in miami. water is already up. by monday, full moon, that may mean tides are higher than normal, even higher than they could be with the storm moving up the east coast. it went over jamaica yesterday, over cuba last night, about 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, 115 miles per hour. we had some wind gusts to 118 on the south coast of could you bea as this thing rolled over. it is a big storm. it is a potential bigger storm

because it's now going to get into the gulf stream. the water is going to be warm there. and the storm could again intensify. the track takes it to the east, right through the bahamas. that onshore flow into florida, going to make huge rip currents, huge waves, lots of beach erosion. stay out of the ocean until the storm is gone. by tuesday, this is where the aanswer was to your question, does it hit the u.s.? yeah, somewhere, but all the way maybe from maine all the way down even to the carolinas, depending how soon this thing decides to turn left. couple of days we talked about it. all these computer models, we call them spaghetti lines, they were all taking the storm into the middle of the atlantic ocean and away from the u.s. only one computer model turned it to the u.s. that was the european model. now, mike, every computer model is turning it to the u.s. except just one. that one right there. it'st kind of stops right there. now that all the models are in agreement of the left turn, where does it hit? there's absolutely no way to

know. the cone of uncertainty could be a 2,000 mile stretch from canada to north carolina. that is still four to five das s away. you have to keep watching this storm if you're anywhere from atlantic canada all the way down to the carolinas. >> i know you're going to keep watching. spaghetti lines, that's a wide array there. some poem are arguing this could be the perfect storm. what do you make of that? and why would people say that? >> because they don't know what they're talking about. >> just hype here, huh? >> the perfect storm was a cold storm. it was a type of nor'easter storm that was already in the atlantic up in atlantic canada and sucked in tropical moisture from a dying tropical storm to its south. this is nothing like it. this is a tropical storm coming up and hitting the u.s. this is not going to be adjusting and getting sucked in with any other cold storm until it gets onland. then it could actually become a snow storm at some point in time

when the cold aair wraps in. the perfect storm -- this is an imperfect storm if that was the perfect storm. this is maybe a more dangerous storm than the perfect storm is -- was, for aall those peopl. maybe not for the boat in the book, but this storm could do more damage to people's property all the way from coastal vermont in new hampshire and maine all the way as far west as montreal, ottawa and toronto. this will be a big monster storm if it does what these computer models are saying. to use the word perfect storm, if that was the perfect storm, this isn't working like that one was. this is a big storm. this could be more perfect, i guess. >> more dangerous. >> more dangerous for sure. >> thanks for the clarification on that. >> no problem. >> we'll talk soon as you continue to track it for us. >> will do. has someone in custody now, 17-year-old austin sigg was

>> reporter: no. they have an emt who was there, volunteer who was on the sidelines and he saw what they have been called preconcussion signals, you know. the kid's eyes were rolling in his head and dizzy, maybe couldn't answer some questions. sos a precaution, they took the kid out of the game. the kids take off their shoulder pads and they're not allowed back in. it was only a couple of days later that they were formally diagnosed with a concussion. it was obviously enough evidence to take them out of the game. and that should have been the signal right there. >> that's some generic football video. do you feel your good about your kids playing, 8, 10, 12-year-olds knocking heads? we'll take your calls in a little bit. a customer in an antique shop breaks an expensive-looking item and then asks other shoppers to cover for her. but it's all a set-up. we've got sneak peek of tonig

autumn pasquale was killed last saturday by two brothers. their ages, 15 and 17. she was killed over her bike or bike parts. the case raises a lot of bottom line questions. why are kid seemingly killing other kids? the accused here, 15, 17, 17. here to talk about it, our psychiatrist janet taylor. what was your first thought when you saw the age, 17? >> it's appalling, but the reality is that juveniles do commit crimes. they account for 10% of homicides, 15 to 20% of rapes and sexual assault. juveniles can be convicted of crimes. >> are we seeing more? it seems like we are. >> it seems like it, but the statistics don't necessarily bear that out. >> let's hear from austin sigg. here's some quotes i'll read to you. a college classmate says he was

violent than ever. what do you make of that assessment and that quote? >> well, so often we think of adults and we teach our kids to be afraid of adults as predators, and i think maybe we also need to talk to our children and teenagers about really being careful about other teenagers who approach them because our kids may be more likely to think it's on a friendly nature when, in fact, it's not. >> what is your takeaway? do you agree in a sense that our kids are more violent? are they exposed to more violence and they're desensitized? we lean on your expertise to say is it just general or is there more to it? >> i don't think there's a question that there's more video games and more tv shows, kids are exposed to more violence. that doesn't mean they'll kill, but they may show more agressive tendencies. i think murder is more graphic and more specific.

>> potentially is it the age of technology, and technology is not bad, but when technology is the way we communicate, are we losing empathy and compassion and we're seeing it in young people? >> it's about balance, because as you say, technology is here to stay, but as parents, as families, we have to spend more time together and communicate and make sure our children knows what it's like to relate to other people in a loving and em pa empathic nature. so we need a balance. >> janet taylor, thank you very much for your expertise. here's the headline. youth football game, all right? there were five concussions. these kids are 10 to 12 years old. five concussions, one game. but they continued playing the game. the losing team, the team with the five concussions, they get beat 52-0, but yet these kids weren't even taken off the field. one more stat for you, there were three concussions in the

first couple minutes of the game. so this was a blowout and it leads to the question, is youth football safe for our kids? do you feel safe with your 10, 11, 12-year-old playing out there? i want you to listen to this. this is ken bellson who covered this story for the "new york times." listen to what he had to say. >> can someone diagnose a concussion on the sidelines? >> no, they had an emt there on the sidelines, and he saw what they've been calling pre-concussion signals. you know, the kid's eyes were rolling in his head, dizzy, maybe he couldn't answer some questions, so as a precaution, they took the kid out of the game, the kid takes off their shoulder pads and they're not allowed back in. it was only a couple days later that they were formally diagnosed with a concussion. there was obviously enough evidence to take them out of the game, and that should have been the signal right there. >> from what we gather, some of these kids who had concussions went back on the field and that's very dangerous, if a kid

new operating system. some argue it's a gamble for the company. here to discuss the good, the bad, our money expert clark howard. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> windows 8? >> this is fine because we've had this duopoloy with android and the apple people with ipads, iphones and all that. your greatest innovation happened when the third competitor comes in. you think about microsoft being an also-ran right now, they are trying to move into the new era with a bold, potentially brilliant but risky software platform that works somewhat seamlessly across cell phones, tablets, computers, laptops and a new category of convertibles where something is a laptop until it's not and you detach the screen and it becomes a tablet. >> okay.

that all sounds fascinating, right, to have everything, and that's a good thing, right, that everything is lining up? >> right. >> let's clarify a couple things. if i have a pc now, am i going to try to download the windows 8? will it work for me and how much is that? >> it will work kind of like having a ferrari with a 4-cylinder engine. you really need to start with newha hardware to get the beaut of the new software in windows 8. some have not been thrilled with the software. some of the testers felt it's buggy. i'm not a techie, so for me and like most consumers, i just want to open something out of the box and have it work. so the challenge for them is they have this old way of doing things. windows-based office kind of environmental stuff, pc-based, and the market has moved on. so they're trying to move on with it. the problem they have is there aren't a lot of apps written that take advantage of the most

advanced versions of this windows 8 called rt, and without that, you got something that, again, you got cool hardware, but then you don't have enough applications you can run with it. so this is a real, real big gamble by microsoft. for me as a consumer, my thing is i would wait a while. let's wait and let the dust settle a little bit, let the people who have to have the newest, greatest thing test this out for a while and see if they're thrilled with it or not. let me tell you what's neat about it. let's think of a pc in a whole different way. you, with this, can touch the screen and do things like you are on a tablet. you can use a mouse like you're used to. you can use a keyboard like you're used to. it allows you the flexibility of doing whatever you want. do you know what i'm doing on pcs all the time now? i go to touch the screen. i'm so used to doing that on my android smartphone that i expect to be able to do the same thing

suspect and that he considered this brutal murder in addition to three months earlier? can you paraphrase what he said? >> i cannot talk about that because that is contained in the affidavit. the court has ordered the affidavit sealed. i can't talk about that. >> okay, again, let's go now to investigative reporter michelle sedona who has been covering this closely. all right, michelle. you get the heartbreaking details of jessica's family in court, mom wearing a purple ribbon, but let's talk about legalities here. you just got off the phone with the d.a. what can you tell us? >> i've been in touch with them a few times today, mike, as well as other investigators. what they told me was this morning there was a court hearing. there was only an advisement of the charges. he has not been officially charged, sigg has not. on tuesday the charging decision will come down from the d.a., and the d.a. has decided to charge him as an adult.

and during this particular process on tuesday, he will appear in court again, and then after tuesday's decision and after the official charging decision comes down, another hearing regarding the direct file will happen. we don't know how soon or how soon that process could actually happen. and then tuesday he could be transferred to an adult facility, although his attorneys, they could fight that. so we don't know, he could still be called to a detention facility, but normal protocol, a general procedure from what i have learned, when you are held as an adult, you will be held in an adult facility. that's where we stand sort of looking forward in this case from a court standpoint. >> police say he confessed. told his mom, then mom basically made him call and confess. do we know anything more about that? was it detailed, was it not? did it, indeed, happen? >> we have learned through a

series of reports, i should say, and again, investigators of westminster police will not come out and say exactly how this went down, although on their twitter accounts, they did say around 7:45 p.m. on tuesday he was arrested. so that is one piece of information that we know. we do know that his mom spoke out and was quoted as saying that he was arrested, that he did come and tell her some information. she in turn relayed that information to investigators and that he came out and arrested him in this area. and we also know that he is facing charges from a crime that happened back in may where he allegedly attacked a 22-year-old jogger. fortunately, she was able to get away. there was a rag that was allegedly held over the top of her mouth and the top of her nose that had some sort of chemical on it. so you figure in that case if he is, in fact, guilty of that case, he went after an adult. and in this case where he was

not successful. and in this case, allegedly, he murdered jessica ridgeway. and this wasn't just a murder where she was murdered and her body was found, we know her body was not intact where it was found. so there are some disturbing details coming out. >> we'll continue talking to you as this comes out. appreciate it. you can be sure our own nancy grace will have the very latest on the jessica ridgeway murder and more on the accused here. 17-year-old austin sigg. watch nancy tonight on hln. you see somebody intentionally breaking something on the floor of a store a. you'll see here an actress pretending to slip and fall, a con artist. >> we're back with our hidden cameras at the fort salon

with odor free aspercreme. powerful medicine relieves pain fast, with no odor. so all you notice is relief. aspercreme. welcome back. looking forward to hearing from you. i'll be taking your calls in just a second. 1-877-tell-hln is the number. the whole premise of this is youth football. is youth football too dangerous? a game in massachusetts, 10 and 12-year-olds losing to a team 52-0. five concussions, one team. 10 to 12-year-olds. the referees should have done something to stop the game, move it along, something. the coach on the losing team, you've got to know your kids are hurt like that if you're getting beat up like that. something has to be done. what about the winning coach, same thing. yeah, you're good but call the dogs off here. what about it? youth football, is it too

dangerous? lori is with us in ohio. lori, you got a couple grandsons. do they play the game? >> caller: yes. >> what happened? >> caller: they were playing football. one broke his ankle and then had to have two surgeries because the air cast they put on him the first time caused mrsa. and then i have a grandson that's 7 years old and he broke three fingers. >> do you think the game is safe after all that, lori? >> caller: no, i think it's dangerous because i went to a practice. my little grandson's helmet came off. he's 7 years old. >> right. -- lori, thanks for the call. that's a good point here. it's equipment safety. i love the game, i had kids who played. i just think we need to do more. the helmet has to be number one. you can't just grab any helmet. that has to fit like a glove. there will be collisions and

they'll have to do more with the equipment. pennsylvania james, you're a coach. what more do we need to do to make sure it's safe? >> caller: i've been coaching for ten years, and i have seen a lot of injuries. first thing we need to do, the coaches were wrong letting the kids keep playing. they need to be vigilant as far as what to look for in head injuries. it starts with the coaches, and we have to have a universal plan. >> you're a coach. have you spotted a concussion? >> caller: yes, i have. i had 17 of them myself, so i guess i could be a poster child. >> that's what we need. either you're going to put an athletic trainer on the field for these things, you put it in the budget and hope it happens, or you better be sure your coach can diagnose that. your thoughts on that? >> i'm 42.

when i played football, it was more or less, you got hurt. now, it's completely different. we are aware of other things that cause head injuries. i think football is getting a bad rap because we do know now that soccer has caused a lot of head injuries and more so than football, along with martial arts, riding a bicycle. what we have now is we are getting new helmets, we are becoming more aware of what's going on. and i think that's what's needed. >> absolutely. hey, james, thanks for the call. keep up the good work. do you feel good about your kids playing? >> caller: yes, i do. the reason i feel good about it is our. the organizations they are involved in has provided the parents ahead of time of the signs of a concussion, what to look for, in case they miss it. so i feel a lot of the safety

are on the parents and the coaches. the adult people out there supervising these children. >> that's where the kids were failed in that massachusetts. >> what else do you have for us? >> it's also about the training. knock to the head at one of my son's. the whole system said he'll be out four weeks. we said, no, he'll be out two weeks. . he failed a few of the tests. we could really tell because he was different. you saw what he looked like in practice. out on the field, he would say -- we love our football, we're not going to ban it.

the symbol of freedom, statue of liberty. just days away from reopening after major face lifted. 2:00 here in the east. thank you so much for sharing your afternoon with us. i'm christi paul. welcome back to hln. i-want to talk to you about austin sigg who appeared in a colorado courtroom today. he is a teenager who police say told his mother that he killed 10-year-old jessica ridgeway. reporters asked the prosecutor if sigg confessed to police. >> we heard your prosecutors say there is overwhelming evidence. are you directly saying there is a confession, dna matching the suspect and he committed -- can you paraphrase what you said? >> i cannot talk about that. it is in the affidavit. the court has ordered the affidavit sealed. consequently i can't talk about that. >> the prosecutor also said sigg would be probably charged as an adult. kmgh says the 17-year-old seemed

calm in court. the charges were not read today. the judge did tell him that he's being held in another attempted kidnapping case from last may. watching the proceedings today, sigg's mother and jessica ridgeway's mother, sxaun othaun family members. jessica was last seen october 5. lead leaving her mother's house to walk to school. she never showed up. october 10 human remains were found in a field. they were those of the missing 10-year-old. authorities found a direct connection between dna found at the ridgeway crime scene and that of another attack involving an adult woman. investigators found a wooden cross saw at the scene as well. they think it might have belonged to her killer, too. similar to jessica ridgeway's murder is the case of anna pascualy. that 12-year-old girl in new jersey was killed last saturday by two brothers who are just 15 and 17 years old. the cases raise a lot of fears and lot of questions.

why are there kids killing other kids? joining me is psychiatrist dr. janet taylor. thank you so much for being with us. let's start with austin sigg. he the one accused of killing jessica ridgeway. the details are so horrific because there's dismemberment involved here. what does that tell you about how ill he must be? >> well, i mean, clearly he has some underlying psychopathology, psychotic enough or not is something for his forensic psychiatrist to examine. however, i think dismemberment, detachness, the fact he was calm, some one that's cold, calculating and has a lot of aggression. >> what's it tell you that he told his mom about this? does that tell you that he had some sort of conscience? >> it is hard to say. clearly, i don't know what if he was aloner and his mother was some you one he may have considered the only person he could talk to or she knows her

son and perhaps there were other incidents troubling she asked him about or had some suspicion about. i think the truth will be revealed ultimate. >> i here's what we know about him. his parents are divorced. his mom filed for bankruptcy in may. which is interesting because that was the month of this first attack that he is suspected in as well. his father has a long arrest history of duis, assault, drug dealing arrests. his classmates said about him there was always something wrong with him. he was always one of the kids in class who was really smart but would be by himself. and another girl said he was so infatuated with the idea of death, that's just the feelings i got. what is your assessment based on what you know, obviously, because you haven't talked to him, but how would you characterize this kid? >> well, you know, there are many risk factors for kids to commit murder. certainly being exposed to a violent father if the mother may have underlying psychiatric illness if conduct disorder

acting out, suicidal tendencies, in this case we don't know but certainly there are enough factors to point to the fact that this began beyond -- before the bankruptcy in may. he's probably had a long standing history of some conflict that has created the fact he can't restrain his impulses and that he's underneath as a psychologically upset troubled individual, obviously. >> you know, let's move to the new jersey case with the two brothers who are not being named. they are 15 and 17 years old. they allegedly killed 12-year-old anna pasqualli. they believe the motive may be for her bike. nobody knows. when -- i'm wondering since they were brothers, they worked in conjunction with each other. when you have gotten more than one person, is one usually the leader and one is the follower? or does it give them many powerment to -- empowerment to work together?

>> when there's more than one, that can increase the likelihood that something can happen. so in some cases it may the fact one may be more aggressive than the other. either way the juveniles, it is not uncommon to have a group of one or more who was involved in thatins accident if -- by the -- bottom line, doctor, what prompts kids to kill other kids? >> again, there are multiple risk factors. can't just point to one p. history of aggression, disturbance in the home, exposure to violence and exposure to abuse within the home, if there's underlying depression, suicidal tendencies, and the fact that, you know, kids can be impulsive, and, you know, it -- it is unclear exactly what can trigger that. we have to warn our children that it is not just adults who can hurt you. just to be careful when kids may approach you and seemingly they are your friends, keep your wits about you and keep yourself safe. >> dr. janet taylor, we appreciate it so much, your

insight. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. we are just get thing in, by the way. small plane crashed into a light pole. this is alongside an interstate in hooksett, new hampshire. fire officials say two people died in that crash. this is on interstate 93. police do not know why the plane was flying so low when it hut that pole. i want to show thank you latest radar images of hurricane sandy. look how big this thing is. heading north, 20 miles per hour right now. still packing a punch, too. sustained winds 105 miles an hour. two deaths. one in jamaica and one in haiti. already being blamed on this storm. it did make landfall in cuba early this morning. here is what it looked like after rolled through city of guantanamo. about nine miles away from the u.s. naval station. the storm cut power and damaged homes and blew over trees on the island. and the wind is whipping things up now, though, in miami. take a look here.

[ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup.

i'm thinking some of these answers will surprise you. the next story, for everybody, but pertains to the ladies because they were asked what's your perfect day? a new study out shows that it looks like a real day -- looks nothing, i should say, like a real day. researchers at georgia tech and german university interviewed more than 900 women. all of them around 38 years old. not too surprising then found personal interaction ranked higher than work. perfect day only left 36 minutes for work itself while, listen to this, men, intimate

relationships and socializing took up nearly 200 minutes. there's more to a woman's fantasy day. here to discuss that is editor-in-chief of mom.me ann marie o'neal. good to have you with us. i wouldn't ask you what surprised you most, first of all? >> well, i was surprised didn't want to spend more time napping. another thing that surprised me was if some of these working moms that decided 46 minutes should be spent on child care which -- i mean, realistic about parenting and like to parent in the real world. so i guess moms are tired of at the end of the day. 46 minutes to look after your kids seemed pretty short. >> i was thinking the same thing. what -- when you look at how much time this wanted to socialize, i think -- socialize sing 82 minutes. meditating was 73 minutes exercising 68 minutes.

what does this tell us about when women generally value? >> well, i think women really do -- really value connecting. right? they really value connecting with their friends and when life is so busy that's what you miss out on. whether you are a mom or not, when you are working all day and -- you are exhausted at the end of the day, very little time leftover to actually be with the ones you love. >> i was surprised -- were you surprised to see 47 minutes for housework? i'm surprised housework even made the list. >> yeah. i guess some people relax by doing housework. i'm not one of those people. i never understood those people. yeah. i moon, maybe it is something to do with looking after your family or creating a nice environment to live in, people like doing that. >> that's true. it can be therapeutic for some people. this is the one i think will surprise so many men to hear that the most minutes in a woman's dream day, 106 minutes, were for intimate relations. spark romance. what was your take on that?

>> i wonder if men and women view the word intimacy differently. that would be my take on that. i think, you know, survey just said -- you know, check the box for sex, maybe women wouldn't have checked that box for as many minutes. intimate relations can mean all kinds of things. right? maybe women just want a little more romance in their lives. >> that's a very good point. if it had been written as sex, i wonder if the results would have been different. lastly, i wanted to ask you about -- exercising. i think -- get close to an hour for -- actually 68 minutes for exercising. clearly, we are health conscious. >> yeah. i mean, i think -- you know, whether you are actually -- wound up exercising in those 68 minutes if someone gave them to you or not, i think we know we should be. right? so -- i think -- blame lack of time for the fact they don't exerci exercise. if someone is giving you the perfect day i guess you build it in there.

>> anything else? what's the big takeaway? >> i mean, i do think that thing about connecting and -- finding timing to connect with other people, whether it is your spouse, being intimate or whether it is your friends and socializing, i think that's really important to women. i think that's -- that's what's taken way from this. not so much frivolous things like shopping, it is more actually being with other people we love. >> all righty. thank you so much. good to have you here today. >> thanks. >> sure. mitt romney says voters haven't forgotten the promises president obama made four years ago. president says romney is intentionally forget and avoiding statements he made. ♪ [ female announcer ] pop in a whole new kind of clean. with tide pods.

police in westminster announced they have somebody in custody. austin sigg. arrested in the death of 10-year-old jessica ridgeway. >> this young fellow, very dangerous. >> we notified the ridgeway family this morning of this arrest. >> by far the worst thing we have ever been through. >> nobody in their right mind perpetrates the kind of crime that this young man is going to

be charged with. >> it is just stock marketing a turning. thank you for being with us. i'm christi paul. murder of 10-year-old jessica ridgeway just stunned the community of westminster, colorado. really all of us. equally shocking now, police say 17-year-old austin sigg told his mother that he killed her. sigg was in court this morning. prosecutors say the likely -- they will likely charge him as an adult. who is he? what could have led him to allegedly commit such a horrific violent crime? nancy grace spoke to a younger neighbor of sigg 's and talked about playing with him in the neighbor hood and what he was like. >> is it true he often wore black and chains on his body? >> yeah. he also wore black pants, same -- kind of looked like they were the same black pants. and they like had the chains and zippers all over them. yeah. >> did he have a lot of friends?

what games would you guys play? >> he didn't have many friends other than us that i know of because he never -- like, whenever i saw him on the scooter in the neighborhood, he was always by himself. and he never talked about other friends. he only talked about playing with us. and the guam we normally played with capture the flag and hide and go seek and tag. >> so he's several years older than you but yet, he's playing hide and go seek with little girls? >> yeah. >> for more on this disturbing case i want to bring in mike brooks. 17 years old. when we talked in the last week or so, profiling this suspect, this was not what you expected. >> no. it is not. it is not what fbi profilers expected either. that's what we have. apparently -- prosecutors now looks like they may have the

specific dna evidence linking him to this tuck murder. and confession. they are still working the crime scene and out there still at the house and they took the suv and still in the process of going over that vehicle because, you know, it -- possibility that jessica ridgeway's body could have been in that particular vehicle. so -- fbi evidence response team and colorado bureau of investigation, processing that as we speak. >> do they suspect him in anything other than jessica ridgeway and this alleged kidnapping in may? >> yeah. looks like he will be charged most likely with the may 28 attempted abduction. there was another one back in 2010 in the psalm area. we don't know how much evidence, if any, they have in that particular case. but also, yesterday when they started -- when they asked the media to show the 17-year-old's picture and take a good look at that picture, they are asking people, hey, take a look at this picture.

do you recognize him? could it possibly be involved in anything else? you know, here at hln and law enforcement don't show anyone under the achblg 17 years of age. >> exactly. that surprised me. you are saying there is intent in doing that. >> absolutely. then want to get this man's picture out. austin reed sigg. if you recognize him, if you may have been the victim of an abduction or didn't report to it police, a lot of times that happens. people don't report it to police. this guy could be involved. law enforcement tell me they believe that he could be involved in other crimes in and around the state of colorado. >> do they -- are your sources talking about a motive? >> no, no. this looks like crimes of opportunity. they don't know -- they probably know a lot more about him now than they did. but everything is sealed. all the -- everything. it is because i'm hearing because of the gruesomeness of this particular case.

some of the investigators said this is the worst case they have ever seen. and some of these investigators railroad hardened veterans. have been around a long time. but, you know, this is something, as an investigator, one of cases, christie, you hope you never have to work. i worked child abduction cases on the response team. really heinous things. when you have a body that's not intact and say the body was not intact, there's a possibility that her body parts could be in the crawl space of his house, that's -- that's a case that nobody wants -- >> stomach turning and to think it could come from a 17-year-old. >> yeah. >> that is what else is so horribly disturb being this. but if it all turns out to be true, thank god they got him. >> absolutely. because -- initially they said -- they thought that this person was still in the community. he was. he was a mile and a half from where she was taken. and -- she was taken october 5.

body was found october 10. five days. water bottle found and a little northwest of where she was taken. they found her body a little bit southwest of where she was taken. what went on in the five day snst that's what law enforcement -- >> i have one more quick question. we are running out of time. the fact that he confessed to house mother and kudos to the mom because -- that had to be the most excruciating call. the fact that he confessed, does that tell you he has a conscience or is he afraid of himself and what he is capable of? >> it could be both. it could be he was confronted by his mother about something that she found and she -- he knew that -- you know, the game was up. he had nowhere to turn. so maybe -- i think that could have been it. you know, if -- but if she hadn't made that call, who knows how many other victims we may have. >> exactly. mike, thank you so much. >> absolutely.

we are not done with this case yet. >> goodness, no. you can be sure nancy grace will have the latest details as well on the jessica ridgeway murder and more on her accused killer, austin sigg. 8:00 on hln. you probably heard a few times, too many, you know, the -- i approved this message line. with only 12 days left before the election, get ready to hear it even more. particularly if you are in a battleground state. coming up, we will talk to a few voters that feel like pushing the mute button whenever they see a campaign ad at this point. who has 11 major brands to choose from? your ford dealer. who's offering a rebate? your ford dealer. who has the low price tire guarantee... affording peace of mind to anyone who might be in the market for a new set of res? your ford dealer. i'm beginning to sense a pattern. buy four select tires, get a $60 rebate. use the ford service credit credit card, get $60 more. that's up to $120. where did you get that sweater vest? your ford dealer.

a million dollars buy as lot of the ad time. at this stage of the presidential campaign both campaigns are spending a whopping amount of money on a flood of political advertising. so far more than 900,000 presidential ads aired. president barack obama's campaign has already spent more than $280 million on campaign ads. romney rae mitt romney's team $130 million plus. let's look at the frenzy. florida, 87 million in ad spending. ohio, $75 million. virginia, $64 million. and all out.

little bit? does that put you off a little bit that somebody might be celebrating before the actual votes are counted? >> absolutely. i think it is a little premature. i think, you know, we are where we are in the election. i think we need to wait to see what the voters truly have to say before, you know, you prematurely start inviting folks to your parties for winning the election when it is not over yet. >> jerry, what about you? jerry in virginia, are you seeing it on television? are you getting robo calls as well? >> we are. we are seeing it from a lot of different channels. not only from tv but as you mentioned, the robo calls. we are seeing canvassers go lou our neighborhood and seeing the message being broadcast within community activists and groups close to us. >> so, jerry, does this inspire you? or entice to you vote for a certain person? or -- at this point is it turning you off?

>> i think in some ways, it is -- making the message more mute. after hearing it for three, four weeks with the same type of content, in some cases it is making me not pay attention. literally walk out of the room or change the channel. if i see it on tv. i think that in general, the one thing that -- exception i would point out is that -- when i see the candidates live, whether it is a rally or where i see them in debates, and -- the message that, you know, i hear on tv doesn't necessarily match what i see, that makes a difference for me. >> so -- that's a -- good point. josh, i'm not going to ask you who you are voting for obviously. but if you made up your mind, do any of these media blitzes, would they sway if you you hadn't made up your mind yet? >> i don't think so. i have made up my mind.

the question is has my wife made up her mind. she is still on the fence. we are still trying to work on that. >> you are still trying to work on it trying to pull her over to your side. you know, that's -- the position for me when i made up my mind, she hasn't yet. >> what is she struggling with? what's the point that she just can't get past? >> she says to me -- she likes obama's policy and it is like that but at the same time, she likes that mitt romney doesn't want to cut programs we don't necessarily need. you know. as far as government spending and things like that, she wish that's were a little bit less. she does think that mitt romney will be a little bit more stronger for the economy which we kind of butt heads on that. you know. i'm one of the people i think

everyone should pay their fair share in taxes. that's huge for me. i don't think that you should be giving tax breaks to billionaires and millionaires. middle class like myself, we are -- bearing the brunt of it in columbus. >> yeah. no doubt about it. josh in columbus and jerry in manassas, virginia, we are so glad to have gotten your perspective on this. thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. >> thank you. >> sure. take good care. let me ask you, do you know any 12-year-old girls who can play the accordion like this? ♪ this girl has a shot at becoming the world's best. ♪ with a low national plan premium... ♪ ...and copays as low as one dollar... ♪ ...saving on your medicare prescriptions is easy.

>> catching the monkey became a priority after it attacked someone's grandmother earlier this month. wildlife officials say it will eventually be placed with a rescue shelter. details of how this fugitive monkey was captured, the florida fish and wildlife conservation office joins us on the phone. you were on the scene when the monkey was finally captured. how did this go down? >> we had been sitting in the area for four and a half, five hours looking at a small open area in the woods where we had seen the monkey consistently over the past four days come to the same area. we staked out the area for that length of time to hopefully try to tranquilize it using chemical immobilization. >> how is he doing? i'm looking at this video. i can't tell if he's tired, he's sad. what's going on? how is he doing? >> he's doing fine.

after the chemical immobilization using the dart, he was taken to the veterinary facility where he was checked out by the veterinarian who was the one who shot the animal with the tranquilizer dart. he was cleared. he's spending the next 30 days at a facility, a quarantine period, to make sure there's nothing wrong with the animal and he's not showing any signs of disease. >> where did he escape from? >> i don't know. i remember chase thanksgiving same animal around the middle part of the tampa bay area in 2008. >> what? >> there's many ideas where the animal could have come from. it's not unusual to see a rhesus attack, a group he's seen with. >> was he smarter than everybody?

am i reading too much into it? >> for the capture of the animal? >> yeah. he seemed to keep outsmarting everybody. >> no, he's been tranquilized on many occasions and hadn't worked before in different areas. we tried to do something different with the trap since it was stationary, kind of see him in the same area over and over again. we think the tranquilizer darts worked this time is the fact he didn't run because he was hit with the dart due to the fact he was familiar with the area and comfortable with the area. >> can you guess what he's possibly been surviving on all this time. >> he's been surviving well. i don't want to speculate, but he's far from malnourished. he's a very healthy monkey. >> baryl, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> no problem. thank you. another disturbing rise in meningitis outbreak.

removing him. >> has any ambassador during your term here ever used the phrase, "i'm prepared to wait until hell freezes over?" >> no, this is one thing that should not be repeated under lighter circumstances. i hope the circumstances of 1962 are not going to be repeated. >> i'm prepared to wait for my answer until hell freezes over. >> i'm also prepared to present the evidence in this relative humidity. >> >> he showed photographs. >> it was part of the propaganda. >> eventually they avoided things hitting the fan. >> any missiles in russia we should know about? >> no. >> we're staying on top of the killing of jessica ridgeway. a teenager austin sigg made his first court appearance. he told his mother he killed the 10-year-old girl. we're going to go live to an investigator who has been covering this case. announce the

custody now, 17-year-old austin sigg. he was arrested in the death of 10-year-old jessica ridgeway. >> fresh out of the box homicidal psychopath. this young fella, very dangerous. >> we notified the ridgeway family this morning of this arrest. >> it was by far the worst thing i've ever been through, still is. >> nobody in their right mind

perp traits the kind of crime this young man is going to be charged with. >> the murder of 10-year-old jessica ridgeway shocked the community of westminster, colorado. equally shocking, police say 17-year-old austin sigg told his mother that he killed her. he was in court this morning. prosecutors say they will likely charge him as an adult. who is austin sigg and what could have led him to allegedly commit such a horrific crime. last night nancy grace spoke to brook, a younger neighbor of sigg's, talked about playing with him in the neighborhood and what he was like. >> is it true that he often wore black and chains on his body? >> yeah. he often wore black pants. kind of looked like they were the same black pants. they had the chains and zippers all over them. yeah. >> did he have a lot of friends?

what games would you guys play? >> he didn't have many friends, other than us that i know of, because he never -- whenever i saw him on his scooter in the neighborhood, he was always by himself. he never talked about other friends. he only talked about playing with us. the games that we normally played with capture the flag and hide and go seek and tag. >> and so he's several years older than you, but yet he's playing hide and go seek with little girls? >> yeah. >> you can be sure nancy grace will have all the details on the jessica ridgeway murder and more on her accused killer austin sigg right here on hln. let's go back to the investigator. michelle has been doing a lot of investigating on this. we do know he'll likely be tried as an adult. what else have you been able to find out about him and about also how this all unfolded with his mother being the one to

apparently turn him in, michelle? >> here is what i can tell you, within the last hour i spoke with a neighbor. she lives across the street from sigg and his family. has lived across the street from him for 17 years. she says mindy is a single parent. austin is not by himself, a younger sibling who is a freshman in high school. they moved into the household actually right before austin was born. mindy was pregnant with her son when they moved in. she was married at the time and eventually became divorced. she said they were normal kids growing up. she's known them all of her lives and would see them pretty much every day and never really noticed anything out of the norm. they would attend church normally and also he and his brother would be running around the neighborhood. so when i asked about the attack that happened back in may and sort of how that affected their community, because the lake from

what i've learned is not that large, semilarge, but not as large as you would think. a lot of fear instilled in the community. we looked over our shoulder and wanted to keep our eyes more wide open than what they were before. as far as mindy and this arrest -- i should say mindy is austin's mom and the arrest that happened tuesday evening, this particular neighbor was not home at the time. from what we have learned, it's possible from his mother that this information did come forward. that's how investigators eventually did move in on him. they did update their twitter account, westminster police did, said they were out there and he was arrested 7:00 p.m. wednesday re-united. >> as far as we know right now, there's no connection between this young man and jessica ridgeway and her family, other than the fact they seem to live fairly close to each other. >> as far as we know, there seems to be no connection. of course, maybe he did meet her at some point in time.

maybe that's something investigators are uncovering. what appears if he is, in fact, guilty, this may have been a crime of opportunity. may have been a young girl walking along, going to meet up with her friend. there was that moment when a predator was able to pick her up and do horrific things to her as we've learned. her body was not intact five days later after she went missing. she went missing october 5th. her body found october 10th. >> that makes parents feel so helpless. >> it really does. just like we've talked about before, 115 children according to the national center for missing and exploited children go missing from stranger abductions every year, 800,000 cases of missing kids which include custodial, noncustodial abductions, things of this nature. in this particular case this could fall into that 115 category and that's really scary. >> yes. >> this is a child walking to school, walking to school, abducted off the streets and

murdered in a very small town. i think everyone is just, all the way over here in washington, d.c. where i am, just trying to wrap our heads around it. >> great investigative work as always, michelle. we appreciate it very much. stay on top of it and keep us posted. you see someone intentionally spilling something on the floor at the store and then taking a fall. did it on purpose. maybe they want to sue. would you speak up? what would you say? next you'll see an actress pretending to slip and fall, pretending to be a con artist. what would you do? it's on the hit show on hln. take a look. >> back with our hidden cameras at the fort salonga market, hired stunt actors to play our would be actors. the manager is also an actor. during the morning shopping rush our actress sets up her claim.

this man notices immediately. unsuspecting patrons run to her side. after several minutes. >> she squirted water. you can't always become part of the scenery. sometimes you have to get involved. >> so what would you do? the show comes to hln tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern. the hidden camera costed by john quinones. a series of dilemmas that will entertain and make you think, what would you do? that's tonight 9:00 p.m. eastern here on hln. okay. so in these tough economic times, lots of folks are taking their future in their own hands. vinnie politan up next to tell you how hundreds of women are crafting their own businesses. since ameriprise financial was founded back in 1894, they've been committed to putting clients first. helping generations through tough times.

president obama made fun of donald trump's so-called election bombshell. after a lot of hype, strump-style, trump announced he would donate $5 million to a charity if the president released his college records and passport applications. trump has been very vocal in saying he's not sure the president is a u.s. citizen. >> this all dates back to when we were growing up together in kenya. >> yeah. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> i've got to give you that one. i've got to give you that one. >> we had constant run-ins on the sock are field. he wasn't very good and resented it.

when we finally moved to america, i thought it would be over. >> no, no. >> remember trump also took credit for convincing the president to release his long form birth certificate from hawaii last year. it could be the cutest photo bomb whatever. some kids are getting attention for what they did during a photo-op. the the president made a surprise visit to a school in delray beach. you see it there. as the president sat with the students, a little romance happening behind him. the little boy kissing a girl behind him. it's gone viral with twitter dubbing it photo of the day. a tv drama about the killing of osama bin laden was set to air two days before the election. critics say the timing of the movie and the fact it uses real news footage proves it's a political stunt. brian todd reports. >> we're going be the team that takes out osama. >> reporter: it's got the real life plot that can certainly

draw viewers, the navy s.e.a.l.s raid that killed bin laden. can it draw voters. s.e.a.l. team six set to air two nights before the election. it's got some real news clips of president obama in it, depicting the president in the days surrounding the raid. the film is backed by harvey winestein, a big democratic donor. all those factors have conservatives saying the movie is a political stunt. >> any time you've got a movie coming out two nights before the election and being made by harvey winestein, a prominent democrat and huge supporter of obama's of course it raises eyebrows. >> it was winestein that suggested more news footage, including from the white house after he saw an early version of the movie. >> it was not done to play up the president's role and make him look good. >> not at all. we don't pretend to get inside

the president's head. harvey came into the editing room early on. his only questions to me, how did you know this? are you sure this happened? he was attempting to get to the veracity of the story. >> contacted by cnn, harvey weinstein rejected the idea it had a political agenda saying it's about history. this man has been in both worlds. creator and writer about the inner workings of the pentagon. >> is there often pressure to put in a political slant, subtle maybe. >> i've never seen that and i've been on the fox lot, warner lot, paramount lot. i've not seen that. the creative process is pretty priced. >> the timing of the film's release on november 4th rankles some conservative like media critic brent bozell.

>> if it does have an agenda as they say it doesn't, political purpose behind it, as they say it doesn't, put it off. >> they say they have to air it november 4th because they have to give it to netflix by november 5th. both national geographic partnered with rupert murdoch's fox cable networks and john stock well, deny any political motivation by releasing the film on november 4th. >> really knows how to stir up scares. take a look at rick reardon's haunted halloween house. he's got everything from skeletons eating body parts to animated ghouls, bats and mice. the front porch has become quite a neighborhood attraction. he keeps the crowds coming back with new, scarier additions every year. that's a lot of work. and halloween can bring out the kid in all of us, but what about our pets?
