7:08 am
better? >> will is no good screening test. one of the most important things is family history. for someone who has a relative or two, they need to alert their doctor. and then certain types of imaging testing or screening like cat scans or mris could be used. there's no good blood test to detect it. >> any other possible screening test coming along the way. >> >> no, we know certain things are associated with increased risk like smoking and it affects men more than women. so, again, if if you know or think you're at high risk you want to communicate that with your doctor. it's a sad example of it. >> now over to maggie. now to the latest in the case of annie le, the yale graduate student who was murdered. a candlelight vigil was held for her. police say they wasn't the victim of a random act shts she was targeted. randall pinkston is in new haven with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning.
7:09 am
despite that assurance by police that it was a deliberate act, people on campus are underbly unnerved with a murder investigation understand way. yale's president is urging who is concerned or upset to seek help. and annie le's friend fighting back tears spoke about her friend at that vigil last night. >> she was as good a human being as you'd ever hope to meet. >> reporter: holding candle over 2,000 members of the yale university family mourned the loss of annie le. >> this is a horrific tragedy. this shouldn't happen in the world to anybody. >> reporter: while the search for evidence continued, authorities are making progress on a suspect targeting one person a lab technician who worked in the building with le. sniffer dogs led police to le's body sunday afternoon afternoon. the remains were hidden behind a basement wall in an area called a chase which is used to run wires and pipes between floors.
7:10 am
authorities had reason to focus on insiders because of the building's robust security system. >> to go to the basement area, you would have to swipe a card and once you're in the basement area you have to swipe again to get inside the room. >> reporter: the four story 120,000 square foot research facility is equipped with 75 cameras and requires magnetic i.d.s not only to enter, but to access corridors and work rooms. still, people who work there were unnerved that it took five days to find the body. >> we're all there and she's still in the basement. so that's messed up. >> reporter: the building where annie le east body was found remains closed except for essential research. authorities are expected to release the cause of death later today and prosecutors may decide whether to file charges against a suspect. maggie? >> randall pinkston this new haven. and coming up in our thebs hour we'll be speaking with one of annie's best friends an also a criminal profiler about that
7:11 am
possible suspect in the case. but first, let's check in with russ mitchell at the news desk. good morning. an al queda bomb plot, the task force staged a series of raids in new york city. three apartments were searched and several men detained. a man with possible links to al queda had been under surveillance, but there were no arrest, no weapons found, and no sign of a plot against any american target. today is the anniversary of the lehman brothers collapse and this morning elizabeth warren was asked if changes are in place to make sure that could never happen again. >> the problem we have is that all the same rules that got fuss to this crisis to begin with are basically the same rules that are in place. we haven't yet made the structural changes we need to make to make sure we don't head that again. >> specifically professor, what do you think needs to be done? >> i think this is about big change. this isn't about saying this one
7:12 am
thing and we'll make them stop doing the other thing. it's really about structure and the way the plan works is that it starts at the consumer end. we have to remember this crisis started one household as a time with lousy mortgages and too much credit card debt. and it says we're going to change some of those basic rules so that consumers have better tools so that nobody gets fooled so you can tell what kind of costs you're taking up front, and then there are structural changes on on up the line. all the way up to what's called systemic risk regulation where all of these products have been aggregated and are producing so much risk on wall street and for the rest of the economy. >> warren also says the biggest pangs arening banks are everyone big he than they were a year ago. kanye west hasapologized again. last night he told jay leno it was rude. >> i'm just as shame that had my hurt caused you you know
7:13 am
someone else's hurt my dream of what award shows are supposed to be caused -- and why try to just guy if because i was just in the wrong. >> west said he would like to apologize to swift in person for ruining her moment at the awards show. it is now 7:13. look who's back? david price is here with our first check of the weather bay from vaca. >> don't get any ideas. i don't want to you rush the weather all of a sudden. folks, let's say hello to you. good to be back. let's take a check and see what's going on all across the country. taylor swift your video was great, it too. let's get to it. last week, it was the southern plains into texas seeing heavy rains. it's the deep south an tennessee valley now that's really going to get walloped. yesterday one to lee inchthree inches. more of that today. meanwhile, as we go to the rocky, you'll see some late day
7:14 am
thunderstorms developing. the west coast will clear out after seeing some clouds yesterday. and again you'll see some maybe morning clouds ss and maybe a shower in northern california and then should should clear up. northeast, mid-atlantic looks good. but eastern winds later high pressure over the great lake things look good up there. jeff over to to you.

there's a dose of good and bad news in the fight against the flu this morning. there's a new drug that helps patients who are too sick to take other treatments but shall doctors now say people with h1n1 should wait longer before going back to on work. so here with more is our own dr. jennifer ashton who joins us once again this morning. let's talk about this experimental drug. what is it and what can it do? >> it's the same class as tamiflu so it helps to prevent the spread of the influenza
7:19 am
virus once it's in our cells, but it is not well absorbed in the body given in pill form so it's right now being studied in intravenous or iv form, which is typically more expensive and less accessible. >> when might we be able to use it? >> it's still in investigation gags al trials so it's considered experimental but the fda will be ruling whether to chore its use as an emergency drug because we're in an emergency use authorization situation with the h1n1 virus. >> which we think would be probably too late for our own harry smith, who we think as we told you yesterday morning might have h1n1. harry is joining us this morning. we've been having some audio voices. harry, can you hear us now? >> yeah of course. >> how are you feeling? >> i feel great. >> really? >> feel really between. here's the key. here's the key. fresh from scratch yesterday, andrea made chicken soup. >> nothing better. >> this may be the most

7:21 am
regular cold. >> here's the other thing that's interesting because the h1n1 we talked about for so many months we go on the air, talk about maybe i've got it, i've got more e-mail, morse more calls from all over the place. the rumors of my demisz are greatly sxage rated, but my high school classmates even sent me flowers. this is crazy. >> harry you're very familiar with the term rap. i'm getting it vigorously. feel better buddy. >> feel better, harry. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by ultra lift pro deep wrinkle cream. now see even deep wrinkles reduced in just would week.

7:32 am
will you stand up with me? >> reporter: late in the year it was reported that the cancer had spread to his liver. swayze insisted he was doing well and remarkably went ahead with plans to star in a tv series the beast. he took off exactly a day and a half of work in all the months that he was shooting. he refused to take pain killers because -- he thought that would affect his craft. but swayze was also brutally honest in the shadow of his disease. >> yeah, i'm scared. yeah, i'm angry, yeah, i'm why me yeah, i'm all this stuff. >> reporter: monday night, rob lowe who starred with swayze in 1983's the outsiders, remembered a courageous friend. >> patrick lived a thousand life times in one life. and i'll remember him most for his enthusiasm his bravery, and for how much he loved his wife, lisa. >> reporter: swayze left a hospital bed so key spend his final days at home with lisa his wife of 34 years, by his side. and swayze met his wife, lisa in 1970 while taking dance
7:33 am
lessons from his mother. she was 18 and he was -- he was 18 reaction she was just 14 years old. the couple had no children. now here's making gi. >> michelle thank you. this morning police in connecticut appear to be closing in on a suspect in the murder of yale student apany le. last night hundreds of her friends and family turned out for a candlelight vigil to remember her. joining us this morning exclusively, one of annie's very close friend, mckenzie fifrk and risk and also with us cripple profiler. mckenzie i know how hard this is for you. i can see that your emotions are still raw. where are you this morning in. >> i think that i've gotten over the shock of actually it happening and i'm more angered than anything else that such a sweet person was taken so early. >> you can give me one story or
7:34 am
one experience that you think encapsulates annie? >> actually, i was speaking to my brother last night who was also very good friends with hersh and we were talking about different stories and how we remembered her and when i first got to rochester actually -- >> because you went to chenlg there together in. >> we did, we went to college together at the university of rochester. and i got there as a freshman when annie was a solve administer and my brother was a senior, so we all sought down at a meal together and they were warning me about the perils of college in general and there was a bridge linking the campus of rochester to a town a bad part of town. so on that side -- so we have the campus here and the bad part of town linked by a bridge. and there are a couple of frats across the bridge in the bad part of town and annie was like
7:35 am
don't ever know across this bridge. i was like okay you know. and i took heed of that warning. and she was like and if you do because i think you will at some point -- >> to go to the frats. >> right. she was like if you have to come back by yourself give me a call. i was like annie, you know i don't think there's going to be much you can do, you're so tiny. and she was like i know, but i'll call everyone that i know. so that's just -- >> selfless. >> very. >> safety conscious. ironic that she was so safety conscious and this happened to her in a place where she was supposed to be safe, her own work where you need an i. di to get in. >> and that's why we're pretty convinced 245 whatever suspects there are are probably people who also had access to the building. p the security in that building was very tight, but it also gives people a false sense of confidence. they don't need their street smarts when they're inside a
7:36 am
security building. so in many ways people put their guard down and in speaking to kenzie, she says annie was so sweet, would never be rude to anyone, not gulable, but trusting and always polite. and that's another thing, when people always feel like they can never cause a scene or shouldn't suspect people that they might be familiar with of ever causing them harm that is one of the biggest mistakes that people can make when they're victims of violent crime. >> they have this possible suspect now and they're waiting for the dna to come back on the bloody clothing to see if they can officially link him. do you think the fact that it was so close to her wedding is just a coincidence? do you think maybe whoever did this was trying to stop that wedding? >> know it's a nice theory but until we know the actual manner of death and find out a little bit more about how well the suspect, who may in fact be cleared, but whoever the killer is how well did they know each other. very often these things are precipitated through just
7:37 am
ignorance, what you think might be friendly and polite to somebody else might be extremely meaningful. and for mb who may have been i don't know with a for say obsessed but very preoccupied with her, who may have been rebuffed by her or simply if there was a scene, that they wanted to quiet her or get rid of her, i don't think it was premeditated in any way. too many clues left behind, too much security. but at the same time, i'm quite sure that the victim and her killer did know each other in some capacity. >> kenzie let me give you the last word. i want you to take the time to just tell us how you'll remember her. >> really as one of the sweetest people that could have ever been in my life and graced this earth. so i hope that she's remembered as the person that she was instead of for this crime. >> all right. thank you both so much. now let's check in again with dave. he's got another look at the weather. good morning. good morning. 37 37 minutes past the hour. let's take a look.
7:38 am
the deluge continues right along the deep south into the gulf coast in sections of the tennessee valley. look at these numbers. we're talking about one to two inches as you head had inland but one to three potentially as you head closer to the shore line into the panhandle of florida. so it is going to be another sloppy day today and then as we head into wednesday, too. let's widen the maps once again, zoom out, a little beautiful day from the great lakes all the way through the northeast and mid-atlantic states. going to see a little bit of a change some cooler air will begin to sweep on in as we head some to the mid week and that will drop temperatures. and we are finally seeing some sunshine return to portions of the west coast that were under some cloud cover. northwest looks good. and in some late afternoon

less at walmart. save money. live better. walmart. on this morning's "health watch," your shower might be hitting you with germs. here once again is our tireless dr. jennifer ashton. good morning to you. >> good morning. bacteria is obviously all around us and most are not harmful. but in a new study researchers analyze the different kinds of germs growing inside shower heads and got some unexpected results. >> reporter: you may think your shower head is clean since water
7:43 am
constantly runs through it, but, in fact, many are full of germs. >> the yuck factor is pretty high obviously because so many of us are exposed to this. >> reporter: researchers at the university of colorado at boulder examined shower heads taken from nine different cities. they discovered that many contained a form of bacteria that can be dangerous. >> so 0% on 40% of the somehow shower heads have about high levels an 08% had detectible levels. >> reporter: micro bacteria avium isn't considered to be harmful to most people but researchers say exposure can be risky for anyone with a weakened immune system including the elderly and some pregnant women. small amounts of micro bacterium avium are often found in tap water. the danger comes when it billeds up in a shower head and then becomes airborne when the shower is turned on on. >> it can certainly cause lung disease and has caused a lot of lung disease in the past few
7:44 am
years through the united states. >> reporter: dr. charles daley treats pulmonary diseases. he says he once traced the source of a bacterial infection back to a patient's home. >> we detected the same strain of micro back tear yum in a patient as we nound this their bathroom including their shower head. >> reporter: experts say at the moment there's no effective way to prevent bacteria buildup in shower heads and that more research is needed. >> most people are not going to get sick from this organism. we're often asked should i stop taking showers and the answer to that today i think is really no. >> reporter: now we don't want to share anyone and the researchers who did the study say they still take showers. but some of them change their shower heads once or twice a year. >> yes please keep showering. so we should mention practical advice. if we're talking about two these shower heads there's a metal one and a plastic one. >> the metal is shot to be safener redues the buildup of this covering p bacteria, but
7:45 am
