our correspondent andrea agfi alwn m mitchell is traveling with the secretary. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. secretary kerry is here in fios or 9.itth wi calne led.99he northern iraq trying to persuade powerful kurdish leaders to overcome their differences with tigre onll 110w. ournualntractht rec ph prime minister maliki and create a coalition government. they have a different idea. st f a adrsri they want to break away and t. mthoot,-yeagaho acaar rovpog create their own state. heo kerry boarded a military plane for the high-security trip trying to hold iraq together. even as leading shiite political groups voice opposition to any american role in iraq. and i.s.i.s. advanced only 40 miles from baghdad. in his meeting with kurdish prime minister, a diplomatic setback. they are the one group to emerge stronger from the attack. they hold the city of kirkuk. now they want independence from iraq. at his meeting with kerry, he

didn't mince words saying we are facing a new reality and a new iraq. i sat down with kerry shortly afterwards. thank you for doing this interview. you come here as part of your mission to hold iraq together. yet he says right off the bat that there's a new reality, a new iraq. >> the united iraq. it was a stronger iraq. and our policy is to respect the territorial integrity of iraq as a whole. it's up to iraqis to decide their future leadership. that's not for the united states to determine. >> reporter: opposition leaders say they don't want american intervention. >> president obama and the american people don't want that either. >> reporter: doesn't it risk much opposition to them being here. ? even as secretary kerry is here to broker a diplomatic solution, the u.s. is getting more involved militarily with the first special forces now going out to embed with iraqi troops.

savannah? >> all right. thank you. meanwhile, there are new developments this morning in the search for that missing malaysian airlines flight 370. it's been three months since it disappeared with 239 people on board. to this day not a single piece of wreckage has been found. so they're searching the zone once again. tom costello has been following the story since it broke in march. good morning to you. >> reporter: -- searched an area off australia where they thought they heard pings from those black boxes. it now shifts hundreds of miles to the southwest. 107 days since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared and search coordinators are recalculating the search zone to an area called the seventh arc. still roughly 1200 miles off australia. working off the satellite hand

shakes or pings where from the plane before it disappeared. it's unlikely they're 23 miles to the west or 34 miles to the east of the arc. the theory? the plane flew high and fast on autopilot then crashed. but the longtime girlfriend of phillip wood is skeptical. >> we don't have proof it crashed in the water at all. there's been not a tiny, tiny bit of evidence that it crashed in the water. >> reporter: the captain remains one of those at the center of the investigation. u.s. sources say the latest files recorded from the at-home flight simulator showed he practiced flying into remote areas of the indian ocean. but he also practiced many route other routes as well. nothing in his final words to air traffic controllers suggested anything was wrong. >> 370 contact lumpur radar

1369. >> reporter: now three months later the best hope may be with the hand shake pings. >> the fact is they were using different technology to use maps that was never intended to identify with definite specificity to the location. >> reporter: and despite all the technology, the search may be a whopping 20,000 square miles. that is a big zone. several ships are already mapping the ocean floor. they hope to resume again in august. that could take months. meanwhile authorities tell nbc news that despite some reporting to the contrary, they have not reached a conclusion about whether the captain or the first officer were involved in the plane's disappearance. and one believes it's possible this search could take decades. back to you. >> that's not good news. thank you very much. now we've got breaking news

out of miami this morning. >> a chaotic scene unfolding in a neighborhood in miami where ten people were shot overnight. two of the victims died. this happened at an apartment complex. police are trying to piece it all together now. there are no suspects in the shooting. now to an incredible story about a baby kidnapped from a texas gas station only to be found by a jogger alone in tall grass at the side of the road. >> reporter: it was just before 2:00 a.m. monday when police received a call about a stolen car outside of this convenience store. in the back seat, 8-month-old genesis hailey. >> the vehicle was left running with the keys in the ignition. she lost it. >> reporter: a short time later the car was found. but with no sign of the baby. then seven hours after it all

started, a miracle along the side of the road. a woman heard something in the overgrown brush. >> i heard it moving and crying in the seat. >> reporter: she snapped this photo and called police. >> once i saw that the baby was moving, i picked her out of the car seat and held her and just tried to console her. decided to use my uniform shirt and calm her down. >> reporter: the baby was taken to the hospital with just a few insect bites. no injuries. she's now back with her family who are thankful to an alert young woman who helped bring their daughter home. >> thank goodness for that jogger in the right place at the right time. a police officer risks his life to save a woman sitting on some railroad tracks as a train barrelled right toward them.

this video caught on the dash board camera. a passerby flagged down an officer to tell him about a woman. he immediately jumped out of the patrol car, ran to the woman, pulled her off the tracks just seconds before the train sped right past. she was taken to the hospital for evaluation. a parking app causing some parking problems in san francisco. the app monkey parking allows people to buy and sell parking spots without city involvement. here's how it works. somebody can type where their car is parked. then someone puts in a bid for their spot. it can range from $5 to $20. the money is then transferred electronically. the city is not having it. it sent a letter to monkey parking telling the company to cease and desist. the company is deciding whether or not to challenge the city in court. and you know it's officially summer now, so time to pull the

slip and slide out of the garage. this is probably not the scene for your back yard. that's epic slip and slide. thrill seekers taking turns making a 50 foot plunge into the lake. that looks like fun. this was uploaded late last week. it has over a million views. and these participants are professionals. do not try this at home or on your own. >> professional slip and sliders? >> yeah. >> i just saw the back. that would hurt. my goodness. >> i want to try that. >> of course you do. >> all right, thanks. al's with our super fan on the way with hoda to work right now, so we've got dylan here with the check of the weather. >> good morning. we've got a lot of flooding in minnesota. there's al. can he hear me?

all right. we're all right. back to the flooding video. we have seen almost a foot of rain so far this month in parts of minnesota. and you can see the water is just creeping up to the roads, to some homes. and unfortunately it takes several days before the flood waters recede. so we'll see scenes like this for quite some time. you can see up to these buildings here. we also had some funnel clouds spotted in southeastern minnesota. it wasn't severe, but it was an ominous look to the sky. you can see all these storms are pushing to the east. buffalo and indianapolis. these are areas where we are going to see some of our most severe storms today. now, we are looking at some heavier down pours. that's going to perhaps lead to flash flooding. buffalo it will take until later this evening before we see showers and storms. in indianapolis it'll be more like this morning when we'll see heavier pockets of rain. because of this rain that's moving eastward through areas like cleveland into erie,

pennsylvania. that's where we have our flash flood watches in effect. once those down pours start, we could see them accumulate quite a bit. widespread 1 to 2 inches. but today we could end up with 1 to 2 inches as much as 3 to 5 inches in pennsylvania and massachusetts. that's a look at the weather across the country. yo what's with all the running? running here. running there. running into things. running out of things. making runs. running out of more things. making more runs. running to. running from. running around in circles. sometimes you like running. but wouldn't it be nice if you didn't always have to? introducing target subscriptions. free scheduled delivery of your favorite essentials. now running out no longer requires running out.

good morning, i'm meteorologist bill henley. lots of sunshine, a few scattered clouds, partly to mostly sunny skies and a bit warmer today. high temperatures in the low to mid-80s. the humidity stays in check today but not tomorrow. it's on the increase. that will likely lead to showers and thunderstorms later in the day on wednesday and into wednesday night and possibly thursday, too. the storms break friday and saturday with temperatures in the 80s. but look at the heat that's on the way. sunday, 90 and up to 92 degrees monday afternoon. have a great day. >> and that's your latest forecast. >> thanks, dylan. now the latest on the world cup as the u.s. prepares to take on germany thursday. it could be do or die for the americans who have been practicing since their draw with portugal sunday. there's been speculation if you like conspiracy theories that the american and german coaches could have their teams tie on purpose. natalie has been looking into that. why? tell us. >> there are so many different scenarios. the u.s. coach jurgen klinsmann was asked about this so-called

possibly arrangement with his former team that meant both teams could advance. it's a move that goes against fifa rules and it's something the coach steadfastly denies. >> reporter: u.s. coach jurgen klinsmann says there is no way he and the german coach are working together fixing thursday's game with a tie that would advance both teams. i'm going to do everything to get to the round of 16, klinsmann said. there's no time to have friendship calls. it's about business now. after sunday's infamous portugal match, klinsmann also criticized. >> we played everywhere. they've done everything to make it, but we're going to do it the tough way. >> reporter: as a player he helped germany win the world cup in 1990 and later coached the german national team. but he isn't the only one with close ties to team

er a cr klsm sle ne ltoff the roster includ america's all-time leading scorer landon donovan, one of the biggest names in the game. klinsmann also took some heat after saying it is not possible for the u.s. to win the cup. >> even though people don't agree with some of the decisions klinsmann has made, they're saying he knows something we don't and we're going to see if this thing's going to work. because it's already working to a certain extent at the world cup. >> reporter: klinsmann who studied to be a baker hopes he's got the right recipe for victory. and the reputation his team has earned already is pretty sweet. >> i think there's coming a lot of respect now from our opponents in this tournament. >> again, if there is a draw possibly between the u.s. and germany on thursday, both teams advance to the next round. guys, this is going to be the david versus goliath of the world cup. but germany did tie ghana.

so i believe we will win. >> can i just say, oh, my god. it was heart breaking. >> it's great to watch you move through the stages. >> i'm not through them. >> seeing that video again, he was like -- >> germany tied ghana, beat portug portugal 4-0. so thursday is the match. would you take a tie? >> yes. >> i wouldn't rig a draw, no. i would take it, absolutely. >> come into the orange room. thursday is the big game as you just sauz coach klinsmann had this to say yesterday. just to put it to a rest. he says we have that fighting spirit and we will give everything in every game. we will go to recife and we will give everything to beat germany. that is our goal. don writes give me a tie all day. prevents injuries and rests players.

michelle says if you can't play with your whole heart for the whole tournament, then you don't deserve to win. by the way coming up at 8:00, this is the gift that keeps g e giving. the coach of mexico, you've got to love it. every time they score he tackles their own players. we'll have that coming up. but go team usa. >> you're going down, right? >> yes. i'll be there thursday morning. i'm so excited. >> all that begging for the assignment paid off. >> finally. >> and carson, thank you very much. coming up, the investigation into one woman's claim she was kicked out of kfc because of her granddaughter's scars. did she make the story up? and we will check in with al and hoda who are on their way to 30 rock. but first this is "today."

all right. 7:30 now on a tuesday morning. june 24th, 2014. you are looking at al and hoda and "today" superfan anita making their way to rockefeller plaza. she's also a fan of sirius xm. we're going to talk to them coming up. and if you see them on the road, snap a photo and share it with us using the hash tag #orangeroom. >> that hoda's rollers in her hair? yeah. it's hitting the sunroof. meanwhile this lady is like, can i eject them? >> i think i heard her say i'll turn this car around. we'll check in in just a moment. meantime we're looking at headlines. the irs commissioner is back to capitol hill today to continue

his testimony about the problems plaguing that agency. last night's hearing was contentious. the commissioner asked about how thousands of e-mails suddenly went missing. three months after the malaysian airline flight 370 disappeared, searchers are about to begin looking at a new part of the indian ocean. that plane once again, the search zone is shifting hundreds of miles to the west. and could your kids be getting too much of a good thing from their morning bowl of serial? wh -- cereal? studies saying they could be getting unhealthy amounts of vitamins. also the dirty truth. if you're doing flying like we are, not going to want to hear this. this report might make you think twice about using a tray table on the next airplane you fly on. also ahead, a little more than nine months ago we did a series called born today. one couple was generous enough

to share their conception through ivf. we'll talk to them live about their big news. >> that's good news. first let's begin with an update on a story we told you about last week. an investigation is now underway into a woman's claims that she and her granddaughter were kicked out of a kfc restaurant because of the little girl's facial scars. katy tur is following this one for us. >> reporter: good morning, matt. the family of victoria wilshere says she was asked to leave a kfc because of her physical appearance. but this morning a local newspaper says it was all a hoax to raise money. 3-year-old victoria wilker gained national attention after reports a kfc in mississippi asked her to leave because the scars on her face was disturbing customers. >> i say it's one bad decision. one person in that store and kfc would never condone that. >> look at that little girl. she's beautiful to me.

she's not scaring me. >> reporter: according to the mississippi-based leader-call newspaper, sources close to the investigation told the paper it was an elaborate publicity stunt to gain money. saying security footage does not put victoria or her grandmother who claimed to be with her in the kfc on the day it supposedly occurred. this morning a spokesperson for kfc tells nbc news we have taken this report very seriously from the beginning. since our franchisee was unable to verify the gent, they hired a third-party consultant to resolve the matter. we hope to have the findings soon and are committed to the $30,000 donation to assist with victoria's medical bills no matter the outcome. victoria's family is denying the hoax. a posting on the victoria's victories page had the post, i

promise it's not a hoax. i never thought this would blow up the way it has. the article circling the web calling this a hoax is untrue. i personally watched this family go without to provide for victoria. they have not and would not do anything to hurt victoria in any way. certainly a sad situation for that little girl. it's unclear what would happen with the rest of the money the family was able to raise. matt? >> all right. thank you very much. terrible if that's a hoax. let's get a check of the weather now from dylan dreyer. >> "today's" weather is brought to you by new nexium 24 hours for frequent heartburn. now available without a prescription. >> and now that we're racing through june, let's look at july. here's a prediction coming out from noaa. below normal temperatures in the upper plains. down in the southeast, above normal temperatures. and out west including areas like seattle down into california, it is going to stay

above normal. as for precipitation, most of the country looks normal. drier than normal across the gulf coast states and wetter than normal through the rockies. we'll keep an eye out for all that. we are looking at the chance for some strong storms through the panhandle of oklahoma and into texas. that's where we could see some hail and damaging wind gusts. but further east through the ohio river valley and the tennessee river valley. that's where we could see torrential down pours. we could end up with 3 to 5 inches in some areas. as for severe weather, you could get stronger thunderstorms. but we're not looking at a widespread outbreak. temperatures look really nice just like yesterday. we should top out in the 80s with low humidity. enjoy it. good morning. i'm meteorologist bill henley. lots of sunshine, a few scattered clouds. partly to mostly sunny skies and a bit warmer today.

high temperatures in the low to mid-80s. the humidity stays in check today but not tomorrow. it's on the increase. that will likely lead to showers and thunderstorms later in the day on wednesday and into wednesday night and possibly thursday, too. but the storms break friday and saturday with temperatures in the 80s. but look at the heat that's on the way. sunday, 90 and up to 92 degrees monday afternoon. have a great day. >> and that is the latest weather. >> thank you. as we've been telling you all morning, tomorrow is a big day for us. that is when "today" will start its simulcast on sirius xm radio. >> if you have to head out to work before you finish watching our show, now you can take us with you on your commute. we think that's good news. it's called "today" show radio on sirius xf. you can find us on channel 108. >> we've been showing you al and hoda's commute this morning because we want you to know you can literally take us to work. they are this morning. they surprised our superfan

anita before she left to drive to work. take a look. >> she has no idea. >> oh, my goodness. >> hello. is this anita? how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? this is such a surprise. >> i understand you're a big "today" show fan. >> i am. >> and you spend a lot of time in the car. >> right. >> we're going to ride with you. because i know you listen to sirius xm. >> yes, i do. >> starting tomorrow sirius xm and the "today" show come together. you can listen to the "today" show on channel 108. >> oh, that's great. >> tomorrow. but today we're giving you a preview. so it's going to be like we're in the car with you. >> that's so exciting. >> i said we. because not only am i here, but i know you're a big fan of hoda and kathie lee. >> oh, my good! i can't believe this. >> anita!

>> hoda, that is wonderful. >> hi, girl. >> isn't it great? you ready to go? >> i'm ready to go. >> all right. you're driving. >> let's go. i'm ready. >> road trip! rockefeller plaza, here we go! let's run some red lights! >> i can't believe you're in the car with me. >> wow. >> you know what's funny about hoda, she carries that kate thee lee sign everywhere. >> let's check in on you guys. how you doing? >> hey, guys. we are doing great. we are right now on the cross island parkway -- >> no. >> we're on the grand central now. anita is doing a great job. there's no distracted driving going on. >> there have been a couple of cars across from us waving and having parties across from us.

you enjoying yourself? >> absolutely. i'm having a great time. >> so you're a road warrior, right? >> yes, i am. >> you're in your car constantly. >> constantly. all over the place. tri-state area. >> so different times you've been late getting on the road because you've been listening and watching the "today" show. >> absolutely. i can't get in the car. >> we're in the car with you now. >> so starting tomorrow you can take your cup of coffee, leave the house and your great husband who's got a terrific tan. and take off and get in the car and listen to sirius xm 108. >> it's going to be the best. >> you want to say anything to matt and savannah? >> hi, matt and savannah. >> hi, anita. it will be over soon. >> 29 bottles of beer on the

there are aspects if it's new or old or has safety features, that can impact your premium. really your credit score and marital status, these are more important. >> age, driving experience, all that factors in. >> true. >> let's move to health insurance and that myth. plans with higher coverage are always a better is choice. that's not true. >> no. people with a lot of medical issues this is a good decision. but for younger people who don't visit the doctor, taking with the lower premium and out of pocket costs can be a financially better decision. >> so the rule of thumb, pay lower premiums when you're young, higher when you're older. that makes sense. >> exactly. for most people, right. >> all right. next one is at home. your homeowners, renters insurance. you assume your stuff is covered when something happens in your home or apartment. is that always the case? >> right. so we assume let's say your

3-year-old laptop gets stolen. think the insurance company will buy you a new laptop. they will give you the cash value for the 3-year-old laptop. if that's important to you, get an additional rider on your insurance for the full cost value. one thing to keep in mind, though, filing claims can drive up your premiums over time and cause you to lose insurance. so don't rush to file the claim. >> a lot of people assume when it comes to storm damage when it comes to superstorm sandy, you think they're covered. that's not the case. you want to look for flood insurance. >> exactly. hail, hurricane, tornadoes, those things are covered. earthquakes and floods, if you're in an area at risk for that, look for additional insurance to make sure you're covered. >> next pet insurance. now, i thought it was a myth, and that it wawasn't really necessary, but it is necessary. >> you don't really need it for

just annual care. that should be part of your budget for your pet. but for those people who will do anything for their pet, you're much better off paying a little bit each month to make sure you have pet insurance rather than racking up a huge credit card bill at the end of the day if a big injury or illness happens. >> how much does it typically cost a year? >> you can get plans as little as $10 a month. and over the course of the life of the family, between $2,000 to $6,000. >> let's talk about long-term insurance as well. people assume medicare or medicaid is going to cover the costs of aging. important to know that's not the case. >> medicare is just there for health insurance. so if you have a stroke or something that lands you in the hospital, medicare will pay for your recovery. for the rehab center after the fact. but just the regular aging where we can't take care of ourselves, that's where you need long-term care insurance. be sure to look for the qualifications in your state.

perform up to 15% better on physical fitness tests than their peers. which i -- i mean, you are in terrific shape. >> thank you. i wouldn't put me as a professional athlete. >> not a professional, but you're a good amateur athlete. you're like a gazelle when you run. >> i think there's a lot of people out there who would disprove this theory. you've got great fall birthdays. brett favre, dennis eckersley, david ortiz, colin kaepernick. some december babies, you get lebron james, tiger woods, gabby douglas. then on the other hand, summer -- >> you've got venus williams. serena williams. venus has 27 grand slam titles. serena 18. then june birthdays. michael phelps, derek jeter, and phil mickelson.

>> let's start with breakfast. we've got a picture we're going to show you. >> see what's wrong with it. >> oatmeal and strawberries. >> we had actually a bunch of employees who publish prevention, we had them tweet in what they were eating in the morning. if you look at this, tell me what's wrong. >> i guess she could use more milk in there. i don't know. >> we've got the green tea. there's nothing wrong here in terms of the food, but you're right on the nutrient balance. green tea gives you this burst of energy. it's got caffeine. oatmeal is the same thing with the fiber. and the fruit does the same thing. but we've got a lot of spiking. and the question is where's that protein? where's that healthy balance? we want your breakfast to last. here we actually added in some peanut butter for some protein and some healthy fat. and we added cinnamon.

driving force in this st h investigation from its very early stages. i am pleased to provide an update today on an investigation which began back on early saturday morning. this was a reported very unsettling, disturbing attack, assault on a young woman in the rittenhouse square section of center city, 1900 block of spruce street early saturday morning. i do have to tell you today that within 72 hours of the initial report of this incident, that, in fact, a male was taken into custody last night and has been

subsequently charged with this crime. we have his photo up for display. he's milton mateo garcia. a male, honduran descent. 1805 south a street in south philadelphia, his last known residence. just a brief chronology of what has occurred, as i said, sbu investigators were on this from early saturday on. intensive investigation was carried out overheay as you know w retrieved video di eragn, i can report that this individual has been charged with rape, robbery,

burglary, kidnapping, and other related offenses in this situation. the location of residence, this is not the first time we've been at that location. saturday afternoon investigators under the direction of lieutenant mcfadden were at that location and had initiated the investigation in the house itself. further investigation was provided through the next hours and did lead us back to that prod yesterday with a search warrant. of course the investigation escalated to the point where charges were approved early this morning for the individual. so at this time, i just want to say that obviously for the

residents of the rittenhouse square area, that we have this guy off the street. you can rest easy today. more importantly, this young professional woman and her family can begin to rebuild their lives. i'll take any questions from you at this time. >> will you give us an idea how you got him? [ inaudible ] >> well, i can tell you -- i can't be very specific. what i can say was there was information developed on saturday, which led investigators to the area of 8th and moore in south philadelphia. the information then was gleaned out of the neighborhood and with good investigative work, instincts by the personnel in

the area started a point toward the particular property. ultimately that became the residence of target. >> was it forensic or was it -- >> no. it was just good -- i have to tell you, it's good investigative work. good instincts by the investigators, having the right people there at the right time mobilized in an area to receive information and then use their investigative instincts to draw conclusions which ultimately resulted in charges. [ inaudible ] >> yeah, i can tell you we're relieved and thankful this did come to play in a short period of time. technology was a component here but a very small component. at the end of the day, there's no other way to describe it that the right people with experience and with instincts under the

direction of lieutenant mcfadden just applied those instincts, were at the right place at the right time. then we contractor rarroborated probable cause to the degree the district attorney pressed charges. we have recovered at this time -- we've recovered the iphone taken from the victim. we've recovered house keys that were taken from that victim, and we have a statement from the offender. >> did the offender indicate -- [ inaudible ] >> i can't elaborate obviously on the content of that. i said yesterday speaking with some of you folks, this appears to be a crime of opportunity. this individual saw a young woman on the highway alone and chose at that time to stage,

specifically securing a bicycle right on the block, placing himself in a position where he could intercept her. >> her specifically or any woman walking? >> it's hard to tell. but obviously we believe that this male followed this female for some distance and then positioned himself at a point where he could intercept her path. >> let me get back, did he say something at the scene or was something left behind that led you to that block? i know you're trying to be cautious in this, but did he say something that led you back to that area? >> no. we were targeting that area from the very beginning. there was a very short period of time that the victim's phone gave us an indication to that

neighborhood but not to that specific location. as a result, the investigators began their pretty extraordinary work and narrowed down the scope and actually targeted a residence at that location. >> dumpster -- [ inaudible ] >> i can't get into the particular content. but obviously it was a component of the charges being approved by the district attorney's office. >>. [ inaudible ] -- a criminal history -- >> he's got no prior criminal history in philadelphia. i have to tell you from the beginning homeland security, immigration and customs enforcement agents were contacted. they quickly responded and very much assisted with this investigation. so that aspect continues as we speak.

[ inaudible ] >> as i said, that aspect is under investigation in concert with homeland security. [ inaudible ] >> again, that aspect is under investigation. >> any other incidents in the area? >> as you well know, we attempt to secure latent print, biological evidence for dna comparison. that's being done in this particular case. obviously that part of this investigation is ongoing. [ inaudible ] >> absolutely. step to the podium. any other questions for me before -- >> looking at a possible connection to the fairmont park rapist? >> we never say never. the mo obviously is a little bit different. there are some similarities. the dna at the end of the day

will be the quantifier. that analysis continues. >> was there another incident, a man with a buddy, exposure, anything else you're looking at with this guy? >> we always do, across the board. across the entire city we look for cases that might be similar because of the mobile of the offender. i think what you're alluding to is the fairmont park serial pattern where it involved a male with a bike. no, nothing more current than that. nothing more current than that. >> was he in the bar she was in? >> we have no idea. we have no idea at this time. [ inaudible ] >> -- later at a friend's house. >> he was located at another spot, at a restaurant. that's correct.

that's correct. >> is it clear -- [ inaudible ] >> i'm sorry? [ inaudible ] >> the other individuals, to my knowledge, have been let go at this point. >> he said he made a statement. did he confess to the crime? >> i don't want to be specific about that, other than that is a component of the total package. >> i don't want to be specific about the content of the statement, other than he did issue a statement to investigators. >> was there anything in particular that you learned from the victim after that first interview that helped you get this arrest? >> obviously the victim, as we do many times, we reinterview several times. the victim's focus became very clear. she actually was able to supply or provide a composite drawing, for instance. i think if you look at the composite drawing versus the actual photo of the individual, some very clear similarities to

that. so needless to say, her detailed and additional information she provided was helpful. yeah, why don't we get lieutenant mcfadden. [ inaudible ] >> obviously the last 72 hours were exhausting for everybody involving the investigation and the victim and victim's family. saturday afternoon, based on the information we received, investigators, along with myself responded to the 8th and morris, where we conducted several interviews, talked to several people and neighbors which led us to target one specific location. with that being said, we were able to talk to several members

of the household. those members of the household provided us with some information. they were cooperative to the point where they did take a few into special victims that saturday afternoon where we were able to obtain some identification. they were then released pending further investigation. during which time the victim and her family came to the special victims unit and provided an interview, a more detailed descriptive interview where she was then able to give us a good composite sketch. based on that sketch, based on what we did on saturday, we were able to obtain enough probable cause to get a search warrant. which led us back to that location. based on the search warrant, we

were able to do a more thorough and intense search of that location, at which time we were able to recover the victim's cell phone. [ inaudible ] >> approximately 8:45, left the location after the search warrant. we had several other males taken into custody. they were brought into the investigation, several other males from the house brought into the special victims unit. we had one other person we were looking for that we knew was in the house but wasn't there. we didn't want to leave any stone unturned. at which time we didn't know who the offender was -- >> philadelphia police bringing us the news of an arrest in the case of the rape that occurred saturday night in rittenhouse. 26-year-old milton matteo garcia facing kidnapping, assault,

robbery. >> people of rittenhouse square can rest easy and the victim and her family will rebuild. we'll have a complete report coming up on nbc at 11:00.
