of course not. how about dark circles under the eyes? airbrush covers them like magic. here's redness and rosacea. now watch it vanish quickly, ealy, and flawlessly without any heavy buildup at all. this is luminess air. >> the coverage is amazing. the tiny, little, broken capillaries, the little red dots, the sun damage -- it covers all of that. >> announcer: if you have sensitive skin or struggle with breakouts, the way you're applying your makeup could be a big part of the problem. >> this brush is a potential cause of infection on the skin. >> announcer: dr. debra luftman is one of the world's leading dermatologists. she's the author of the book "the beauty prescription," and her beverly hills practice is filled with celebrities who need care for their skin. she has an important warning about using dirty fingers, sponges, and brushes on your skin. >> a brush is a porous material that can get contaminated very easily by touching skin, then touching makeup.

and if you use your dirty fingers to apply makeup, then that can even be worse. potentially, this could be the source of irritation and breakouts. touchless makeup with the luminess air means that there is nothing that is going to be contaminating the makeup and then contaminating your face and contaminating your skin and causing bacterial infections. luminess air is great because it's so gentle on your skin. it's made from natural ingredients. it's hypo-allergenic, non-commedogenic, and paraben-free. it's completely water-based, oil-free, and fragrance-free. so when you're wearing luminess air, not only do you look great because of the makeup, but you're actually protecting the future of your skin. >> announcer: luminess airbrush foundation is pure and water-based. watch what happens when we put a few drops into this beaker of water. it mixes completely. this is what truly water-based foundation should do when dropped into water. leading store-bought foundations claim to be water-based. here's an example. let's put it to the test. watch what happens when we drop it into water.

it should mix and dissolve, but instead, it falls to the bottom of the beaker like thick lumps of goo. it's shocking. most store-bought foundations that claim to be water-based are loaded with oils and emulsifiers, and that makes them thick and heavy on your skin. the difference between the purity of luminess air foundation and the heaviness of store-bought brands couldn't be more dramatic. now let's take a look at what this means when you actually apply the foundation to your skin. this woman has sun damage, age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles. this is what happens when she tries to cover these problems with store-bought liquid foundation. it covers, but it's so thick and heavy, it builds up in the fine lines and wrinkles around her eyes, actually making them look worse. this is luminess air. her skin looks baby smooth, her pigmentation problems are covered, and the fine lines and wrinkles around her eyes are practically gone. let's compare them side by side. on the left is no makeup. in the middle is old-fashioned heavy liquid foundation. on the right is luminess air.

the results are dramatic. these are the kinds of results you'll see on your skin when you use luminess air. >> makeup is supposed to help smooth the lines, but it actually kind of fills into the lines and makes the linetrlook worse. luminess does this amazing thing. it makes your skin look flawless. i mean, it covers it in such a beautiful way. now when i use luminess, my skin automatically looks more beautiful, and i look young again. i love that. >> i have this problem, and this is rosacea. it gets so red, i look like rudolph. i'm not kidding. and it's horrible, and you cannot cover it up. and i have tried everything, and nothing works. i'm gonna show you exactly how i use the airbrush to cover this and get rid of this rosacea so you never see it, and the results will be amazing. get your stylus, put a few drops. i just use four. get it going. you'll feel the air coming out. here comes the makeup. you see? look how fast it's disappearing. it's just microscopic amounts of

makeup coming out right now. and look at that. the redness gone. lookit -- red spot there. watch this. gonna get rid of that. i'll concentrate on that a little bit. voilà. gone. got a little age spot there. come even it out over here. but the thing is, it's so easy. it just goes on so smooth and clean. i'm not using anything else anymore. and look, i look perfect. no rosacea, no age spots, no imperfections. just a smooth, natural complexion. i think it's amazing. >> announcer: let's take a closeup look at why luminess ll look so beautiful on your skin. we used a microscope on this model's face to show exactly what liquid foundation and luminess look like when applied to fine lines and wrinkles. just look at the heavy cakiness of liquid foundation and how it makes her crow's feet look worse when she smiles. now look how smooth and pretty her skin is with luminess air. the luminess coverage is

ultra-fine and doesn't cake on. now look at our model's skin side by side. you are seeing the reason why traditional makeup can actually make you look older and why luminess air will make your skin look baby smooth. >> there's not a big buildup in here. it just sort of finely feathers that away. underneath, the crepiness doesn't seem to be as rough or textured. >> when i was using my old makeup, i felt i was looking older than my age. it would kind of get into the creases of the lines and actually make the lines more prominent, and now using luminess just is incredible. it makes the wrinkles around my eyes have a flawless look, and it diminishes the look of the wrinkles. it's awesome. i look better than i've ever looked. i would not go back to my old makeup. >> announcer: take a look at this blemish. no qyou see it. now you don't. >> it is amazing. >> announcer: do you see this age spot? don't blink. it's gone like magic. >> luminess is stupendous.

what happened here in little owego, new york, in august 2007 was almost unbelievable. cal harris, convicted of killing his wife, michele, was about to be sent away for 25 to life and suddenly it all blew up right in d.a. jerry keane's face. >> i came into the courtroom thinking the defendant was going to be sentenced and it ended up more my being on trial. >> reporter: who on earth had the power to make this happen? he did, kevin tubbs. >> i know she was there, okay? i know she was. >> reporter: kevin tubbs, a

plain spoken rough hewn farm worker back then was hauling hay. why was he so important? because after six years during which tubbs swore he barely registered the fuss over the harris case, he picked up the paper and saw the story of cal's conviction and -- >> i seen that and, you know, i started like recalling, you know -- thinking like oh, my god. >> reporter: just like that, he suddenly knew, he said, that what he saw the morning after 9/11, the morning michele harris disappeared was important. it was between 5:30 and 6:00 in the morning, he said. he was hauling a load of hay. >> as i was going by the harris property, there was a blond woman out there and a young gentleman, you know, in his early 20s. >> reporter: standing by a pickup truck. >> my lights were right on them. >> reporter: and hardly more than ten feet away, he said, he looked straight at the young man.

saw he was dark haired, muscular and visibly angry. >> he looks at me like this, like what do you want? >> reporter: and the woman? she was looking down. >> just by her face, looked like she was crying. she was either upset or wasted. >> reporter: the woman, he said, he was certain of it, was michele harris. >> i know it was her. >> reporter: was it true? if kevin tubbs really did see michele on the early morning hours of september 12th, then the prosecutor's case was in ruins. because cal harris couldn't have murdered her some seven hours before and an innocent man had just been convicted. and so the judge tossed out the verdict, called for another trial and sent cal home to his kids. many, including michele's family, thought tubbs story was bogus. >> everybody knew he was lying. it was the most bizarre story that you could have ever told. >> reporter: and of course, when

trial number two opened in 2009, the prosecution attacked tubbs' credibility. why did he wait six years to come forward? still for the defense, tubbs was pure gold, the man to create reasonable doubt. >> there simply isn't enough evidence to convict cal harris of murder. >> reporter: bill easton was one of cal's attorneys. >> there's not an eyewitness to it, not an ear witness to it. he didn't confess to it. none of this direct evidence is present in this case. >> reporter: the prosecution argued that cal showed how unfeeling he was by failing to join the search for michele. that was nonsense, said his aunt merry. cal was simply trying to keep it all together for his small children. >> there were dozens, maybe hundreds of experts scouring the area, looking for her. and there was one person taking care of these four kids. >> reporter: that alleged motive that cal was worried the dealerships would take a hit because of the divorce? not so said cal's side.

his lawyer told him michele couldn't touch the business. and that anyway, before she vanished, michele had decided to accept cal's settlement offer, $740,000. >> she had indicated to numerous people she was happy with the settlement. >> reporter: besides, said aunt merry -- >> there's plenty of money to go around and no amount of money would have made cal say a ha, you know, for $2 million, i'm just going to wipe her out. >> reporter: then there was the blood, the spatter in the kitchen alcove. could have been a cut finger, said the defense. anyway, nobody could tell when it was left there. as for the prosecution's claim that cal tried to wash away blood on the garage floor -- >> there's a small amount of diluted blood that was found days after the new york state police had walked through this particular area of the house while they were conducting the search. >> reporter: walking on it is not going to droi the blood cells.

>> it could dilute it if their boots were wet. >> reporter: finally the defense decided jurors needed to hear from cal harris as a caring father not as the menacing husband the state made him out to be. the defendant took the stand. >> it was nerve-racking at first. obviously my life is on the line and my kids are -- you know, their lives are on the line. >> reporter: he admitted to an affair, blamed himself for the end of the marriage. but denied threatening her or trying to control michele. if anything, he said, she had been living a wild life, staying out all hours just before she disappeared. >> she came and went as she pleased. she had money to spend. i wasn't tracking her down. the baby-sitters were here. the nannies were here. she was off doing whatever she was doing. i don't even know what she was doing. >> reporter: was it enough? the jury deliberated for almost two days. and it wasn't. guilty again. >> takes your breath away.

you know, it's like getting stabbed in the stomach. just -- i'm numb, you know. i had already been through it once. >> reporter: family and friends stepped in, took care of his small kids who began a weekly ritual visiting dad in prison. taylor, the eldest. >> you go and get to see him for two hours a week and you've got a bunch of other people talking and it's loud. and you can't really have a private conversation. that was definitely the hardest part for us. i mean, he held it together well but -- >> reporter: what was it like driving home? >> quiet. >> reporter: watching his kids walk away week after week, said cal, was unimaginably hard. >> that was the worst. i went back to my cell and just laid there for hours and hours and just closed my eyes and tried to block it out. >> reporter: three years rolled by. but then came a day in october, 2012, when cal harris found himself crying for joy in the

prison yard. coming up -- >> it's rare, though. i mean, this is really rare for that to happen. >> yeah. >> a new chance at freedom, new urgency from the kids. >> it's time for the truth. >> and a whole new theory of the case. >> it's all coming together. >> it's time to look elsewhere. >> trial number three, when "dateline" continues. get ready to show your roots with roots touch-up from nice'n easy. seamlessly blends with leading shades, even salon shades in just 10 minutes. no roots. no grays. just the most shade choices for natural looking color as real as you are. so go ahead, show the world your roots with america's #1 root touch-up.

had cal harris won the lottery, it could hardly be as surprising as the news he heard in the prison yard in 2012. >> reporter: this is rare, though. i mean this is really rare for that to happen. >> yeah. >> reporter: what happened? new york's court of appeals overturned his second murder conviction, citing errors made by the judge and ordered trial number three. while everyone waited for that, cal once again went home to the house on empire lake and his four growing children. tanner, the youngest, was in eighth grade then. the rest were in high school. >> that was great. >> reporter: what a change, huh? >> back to normal. it was easy. >> reporter: yeah? >> yeah. >> reporter: didn't take long to adjust? >> he had to adjust to what our plans were. >> reporter: well, you'd been coping on your own for so long. >> yeah.

>> reporter: this time, this third chance, the kids were determined this would be different. >> we want you to know our dad will not be taken away from us again for a crime we know he did not commit. >> reporter: it was a very public coming out. cayla addressed the cameras. the rest of the kids and their teary-eyed dad stood by. >> we cannot sit here in silence and watch another travesty of justice take place. >> reporter: this was march 2014. the family was helping launch a tip line, asking the public to help find out what really happened to michele. >> it's time for the truth. it's time for a real investigation that will get us answers. i think that it was a good thing for us to finally come out and talk about it. >> reporter: how did it feel to do it? >> good. >> it was shaky, but -- >> reporter: nervous before, great after? >> yeah. kind of relieved after. >> reporter: you have the floor, sir. >> we all knew this was our time to come out and give our side

everything else as they searched through every square inch of cal's life and property. according to lead defense attorney, bruce barket. >> they pursued this man for 14 years with scant evidence. evidence that really no prosecutor should bring a case on. and they pursued him relentlessly. >> reporter: without bothering to seriously consider any other suspects, said barket. so the defense scoured the police files for clues and a picture 'merge -- emerged, said the attorney, a disturbing picture of michele's last day. >> perhaps she was trusting and perhaps she shouldn't have been. >> reporter: they went back to witnesses the police had interviewed years before. talked to them and the others that led them to. and that's when they heard a whole new story of michele's last hours on earth. there was also a partial record from earlier trials, they said, which showed the mother of four had been hanging around with an unsavory crowd, co-workers and

customers from her waitressing job. >> people there that were dealing drugs, making sexual advances. >> reporter: and on the night she vanished after she left her boyfriend's place, they now knew, they said, that michele did not go home because one of those witnesses reported seeing her later that night with another man, a local steelworker. attorney donna aldea. >> on that night at a bar, in a dance club, he actually said. he was there but left the two of them alone and went home. >> reporter: the steelworker was a regular at her restaurant, said the defense, who had told friends he had a sexual relationship with michele. who was this man? according to the defense, he was the very same angry stranger kevin tubbs saw with michele in the early hours of september 12th. >> as i was going by the harris property, there was a blond woman out there and a young gentleman, you know, in his early 20s.

>> reporter: tubbs identified that man from a photograph. >> his physical appearance, his facial hair, his height, his age and the type of vehicle he drove. >> reporter: tubbs said the man he saw was standing beside a black truck. the steelworker owned a black truck, same kind. >> and it's a new model and it's a chevy. you look everything up and it's all coming together. >> reporter: also, they said, the steelworker gave conflicting accounts of where he was the night michele disappeared and how well he knew her. >> it went from the beginning knowing michele and having gone out with her at one point to not even knowing her name, knowing nothing about her. >> reporter: the defense attorneys were convinced that man played some role in the disappearance of michele harris. now they decided a jury needed to hear it. only it wouldn't be in owego. early on, the team scored a big victory when a judge agreed the third trial should be moved to another county to make sure cal had an impartial jury. >> it was huge.

it's a difficult motion to win. they're very uncommonly granted. >> reporter: the new trial would be held in tiny schohairie, away from tioga county, where, said the defense, almost everybody knew about cal harris. >> you had a relatively small county where, based on the data that we gathered, the polling showed that something like 97% of the people in tioga county knew cal harris' name, which is more people than know the names of the president of the united states. >> reporter: finally this past february, it began. this time jenna, one of cal's daughters would testify for the family. and this time the defense came on strong, relentlessly chipping away at the prosecution. the blood evidence, for example. this time the state wasn't allowed to suggest, as it had before, that the blood was spilled around the time michele disappeared. >> to have forensic scientists get up and speculate and guess at how old blood was based on

the color from a photograph is an outrageously unsupported proposition. >> reporter: also out? hearsay testimony from prosecution witnesses who said michele told them that cal threatened her life. >> we don't think they belong in evidence. it's part of the reason the case was unfair the first time, the second time. >> reporter: but then? then the defense attempted to present its evidence about that alternate suspect, the steelworker. and the judge shut them down. the jury would only be allowed to hear the following fact. the man's name, that michele knew him, that kevin tubbs i.d.'d him and that he owned a black truck at the time. no more. why? because it was cal harris on trial. wrong man, his attorneys insisted. >> cal did not deserve to be on trial. and frankly, michele and her family deserve better. we all want to know what happened to her. it's time to look elsewhere. >> reporter: there was a new prosecutor this time around.

tioga county's kirk martin. he made the same arguments as the previous d.a. saying the evidence pointed to cal harris killing his wife. the trial went on for three months. at the end of april, it finally went to the jury. and four kids and their father suddenly had nothing left to do but wait. >> we said what we want to do when it's all said and done and over with and the good end turns up. >> reporter: wlant to talk about that at all? >> vacation. >> yeah. >> somewhere cool. >> reporter: maybe. maybe not. coming up -- >> i know we're tough enough that we'll get through it. >> you have to be as positive as possible. >> what would happen this time? >> breaking news out of the east schoharie courthouse.

it was deja vu all over again for cal harris. wait by the courthouse every minute like an hour as 12 men and women weighed the evidence. and one man waited to be told his own fate. freedom or a possible sentence of 25 to life? you know, you have been confident before when you've gone on trial because you have said, i didn't do it and there's no evidence that i did it. so i should be acquitted. and yet you weren't. so how does that impact your thinking now? >> just by what bruce and his team have done in the investigation. it's -- it's really significant. now whether it will be enough, that remains to be seen. but it's got to create some doubt. it has to create some doubt. we didn't have that before. >> his life is on the line. >> reporter: defense attorney

aida. >> you pray for the best and i hope that the best happens in this case. >> reporter: uncertainty is a way of life for the harris children. never knowing if their father would be convicted again. >> so i think, you know, if things don't go our way, it will definitely, you know, turn all our worlds upside down, but i think we're -- i know we're tough enough that we'll get through it. you definitely don't like to think about that kind of thing. >> reporter: well, this -- you know, it's a daunting thought. and clearly you've had to think about it. if he's found guilty again. >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: how do you deal with it? >> we just spend a lot of time together. that's what we did when he was in jail last time. we'll see him every weekend. we'll have phone calls. we'll have each other. and you just have to try to be as positive as possible. >> not only for us but for him, too, with the whole thing, you know. >> reporter: but of course,

another family waited by the courthouse, too. michele's family, wanting a very different verdict. nothing they'd heard at trial number three changed the way they felt after trial number two. is there a corner of your brain that thinks, god, maybe it was somebody else? >> not at all. not at all. >> reporter: before two juries had returned their verdicts within hours. four hours the first trial, nine the second. but this time, the hours stretched into days. >> you want a hot dog, right? >> reporter: the defendant and his family did what they could to pass the time. lunching at the hot dog stand outside the courthouse, enjoying what could be their last moments as a family on the outside. four days in, jurors told the judge they were deadlocked. he sent them back to try again. eight days in, still deadlocked. again, they were instructed to keep trying.

finally, two weeks in, the jurors made it clear they simply could not reach a verdict. >> breaking news out of the schoharie county courthouse, the third cal harris murder trial has been ruled a mistrial by the judge. >> reporter: a mistrial. it was the outcome nobody wanted. >> we got closer to justice, but we're not there yet. we will continue to fight and continue to pursue the truth about what happened to michele. >> reporter: but her family believes they knew the truth, that cal murdered michele. they left the courthouse without comment. >> not right now. >> reporter: tioga county prosecutor kirk martin did address reporters. >> my obligation as a district attorney is to seek justice. >> reporter: he promised a fourth trial. >> there have been two guilty verdicts in this case and i eagerly await the earliest possible trial date that fits with the court's schedule. >> reporter: and so for now, a mystery almost 14 years old endures about a woman who

vanished on a warm september night while the rest of the world was looking the other way. that's all for now. i'm lester holt. this sunday, the trump effect. when donald trump talks -- >> make america great again. >> -- the rest of the republican field listens. >> with your help, we can make this country great again. >> how donald trump is setting the agenda for the gop campaign. also, hillary fights back. >> i'm not running for my husband's third term and i'm not running for president obama's third term. i'm running for my first term. >> hillary clinton letting joe biden know just how tough it will be for the vice president to jump in. >> the latest polls out of iowa. where things stand this morning will surprise you. where have you gone, scott walker? expected to be a front-runner at this point. he's been lagging in the polls. can he make a comeback?
