this is world news tonight. manhunt. two killers still on the run. after walking out of prison. tonight, new details on their cunning escape ask what they did next. breaking news in that bullying case, the 12-year-old who took her own life. a mom of one of the alleged bullies has been arrested on a totally new charge. and what were they thinking. those boy scout leaders, who taped themselves vandalizing a sacred site in the state park. who tracked them down to hear what they're saying about the outrage tonight.
6:26 pm
good evening to you on this friday night. we begin with the developing story, police expanding the nationwide manhunt, the massive search for two convicted killers. who appear to have devised a cunning way to walk out of prison. and it raises the possibility that other convicts have done the same thing, justice correspondent pierre thomas has this information at this hour. >> reporter: the families of the men killed by two released murderers, fear and outrage. >> i fear for my safety. he knows where i live. >> it's very scary. if he doesn't come after my family, it's possible he will come after someone else. >> reporter: florida authorities realized the men had escaped after corrections officials did a courtesy call to victim families to tell them the men had been released. a frustrated family member called prosecutors asking why convicted killers were suddenly
6:27 pm
free. >> he was just dumbfounded. >> reporter: joseph jenkins and charles walker walked out of prison weeks ago after someone created a fake court order, the documents looked authentic, letterhead, signatures, even the chief judge. >> they cut and paste my signature and affixed it to the order. >> reporter: judge belvin perry who oversaw the case was a victim. >> they had to have outside help, because in one of those documents, it was actually filed here in the courthouse. >> reporter: the attorney for joseph jenkins says his client isn't smart enough. >> he walked into a home invasion robbery with a ski mask, when they called him out by name he pulled the mask down. >> reporter: they thought they got away scot-free. they were brazen enough to register with the state as felons, only days after their release. inmates have been using phoney documents to get out of prison for years. but there is some concern the tactic is becoming more popular
6:28 pm
with inmates. last spring, authorities caught another florida inmate attempting the same scam. and jenkins tried the tactic in 2011, but failed. why florida officials were not more on high alert after those brazen attempts is an open question. >> it's frustrating to me as a law enforcement officer, these individuals have murdered individuals in this community. and so, we want to bring them back to justice. >> reporter: the inmates walked right past the fences right out the front door, no questions asked, diane. >> pierre thomas, thank you. turn to abc's chief legal analyst, dan abrams. dan, how sophisticated was this? >> very. for them to get the seal and signatures and most important to, get it to the right person, to get this process moving forward was a very premeditated and well thought out plan. >> but you pointed out, that they tend to have a lot of time to think about these things. >> that's right.
6:29 pm
look, prisoners have a lot of time, they haven't necessarily linked it to these prisoners, it would seem that they were connected to the plan. but it allows them to take the time to create a sophisticated plan. >> how many inmates escape every year? >> approximately 1,000, that number way down from 20 years ago. but the tactics tend to be more old school. meaning stolen vans or cutting and digging, overpowering guards. those tend to be the most used method. >> how often do they get caught? >> almost all the time. the vast majority of cases, and most of the time very close to the prison. >> all right. dan abrams, thanks so much tonight. and we turn next to the question being asked around this country tonight, why is the obama care launch such a mess. the web site cost $400 million, and yet it's riddled with glitches. american families frustrated and confused. so how could it happen? abc's rebecca jarvis went in search of answers. >> reporter: it's been 18 days
6:30 pm
since the obama care web site launched. and the white house still can't or won't say how many people have actually enrolled. >> do you have an estimate for me now? we're two weeks into this. >> we said repeatedly we will release enrollment figures monthly. >> how many have signed up thus far? >> fully enrolled? i can't tell you. because i don't know. >> reporter: we know about 11 million have tried to sign up. but for many, it's been a rough ride. >> there have been crashes. >> i signed up on october 3rd, and i have not been able to log back on since. >> reporter: dan howard in freeport, pennsylvania has been trying for more than two weeks. >> it's one dead end after the other. >> reporter: he tried again today. >> i go to log on. and it won't let me on, because i'm not verified as being me. it's hour after hour after hour of just trying to find the answer to the question, where am i going to have my insurance? what's it going to cost?
6:31 pm
>> reporter: we tracked down white house advisor david simas and asked him why all the glitches. what are the biggest problems with the system? >> so i'm not in position to categorize what the biggest problems are. here's what i can speak to. >> reporter: you don't know. >> rebecca, i'm not going to identify or say what one problem is bigger than another. >> reporter: when does the site have to be free and clear of bugs? >> the real period where folks will be going in for enrollment will be in november and in december. >> reporter: you think you can do it by november? >> it will continue to get better each month that we go through this. >> reporter: but even when we tried to access the site today, we encountered this error. a registration page filled with question marks, an incoherent data. dan howard says he'll keep trying. >> the bottom line is i need health insurance. i absolutely need it. i am frustrated, because i'm not alone. there should be an answer. >> reporter: and tonight, the white house says your best bet for those answers, well, it may be to pick up the phone and dial
6:32 pm
the government's call centers for help. dan howard, though, he tells us he did that for two hours. and he still, diane does not have answers. >> the phone didn't work either. >> it didn't work for him. >> hearing next week on why this happened, how this could happen. >> the very first look at the glitches within the system, diane, we're told tonight from accept el yes spokesperson she's unable to attend the meetings. but they are are in constant contact with the committee. >> the second will not be testifying? >> as of this moment it sounds like she will not be able to testify in this hearing. >> a lot of people looking for answers. thank you, rebecca jarvis. one more note out of washington. the government shutdown now in the rear view mirror, remember this image, a symbol of the stalemate, a toddler holding on to the gates of the national zoo and turned away. today the national zoo is back in business. and so is the panda camp right here, meshong and her cub, what
6:33 pm
a difference 16 days makes. this is the baby before the shutdown on the left, and after on the right. and my, how we've grown. we heard the giant reaction from all of you to our report last night, a congressman challenging his fellow lawmakers, he is returning his paychecks for those 16 days of the shutdown. our team continues to call all the members of congress who voted against reopening the government, and as ofnight, 35 say they, too, will return their paychecks or donate the money to charity, 15 say they'll keep their pay. 112 others, well, we're still waiting for an answer. and you can check your congressman on our web site. and we have a passing to note tonight, tom foley, for five years serving as speaker of the house in the early '90s, a democrat from washington state. he won praise from those across the aisle, for fairness and compromise. foley was 84. and there is a new twist in the
6:34 pm
bullying case making headlines after a 12-year-old girl was bullied by classmates and took her own life. a tough talking sheriff decided to take action, he is leveling a brand new charge tonight. he has arrested the mother of an alleged bully. why? abc's matt gutman tells us. >> reporter: tonight vivian is locked up in a county jail, the same jail as her 14-year-old daughter. >> i can tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, once again, i repeated it earlier in the week, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. >> reporter: vosburg's daughter was charged this week along with a 12-year-old. the 14-year-old tormented this girl before she committed suicide last month. she was only 12. perhaps the greatest insult came on facebook after her death.
6:35 pm
she allegedly wrote, yes, i know i bullied rebecca and she killed herself, but i don't give a -- in an interview, vosburg said her child wasn't a bully and never made the post. every day you check the phone. text messages, facebook? >> everything. >> i would suggest to you, after looking at this video online, that vivian does not monitor the facebook. >> reporter: vosburg's husband said violence never happens in their home. the sheriff told me he was vest gating the parents. how much is this about the parents and how much is it about their kids? >> i hold the parents equally responsible. they are the adults. they are the parents. >> reporter: vosburg faces two counts of child abuse and four counts of child neglect. because there was so many children in the room at that time, now, if she's convicted on all charges, she could face 30 years in prison.
6:36 pm

6:49 pm
patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion. i've got a big date, but my sinuses are acting up. it's time for advil cold and sinus.
