7:34 am
and lured him to this house to be robbed. but when a scuffle broke out, griffin was shot and killed. police do not believe she was involved in the shooting, b under florida law, she is -- >> she has absolutely no prior criminal history of any kind, juvenile or otherwise. >> reporr: but the victim's family opposed that. >> it's just wrong, it's wrong, your honor. >> reporte on the day his cousin died, he was thrilled to have met a gir on line. >> he was about to go on a date, he was happy as he could be. >> reporter: me e suggests the same illness that caused to -- but the judge had his own concerns. >> the family is saying now they
7:35 am
can control her when the evidence sugges they have been able to do so to date. >> reporter: he then denied the bond request, leaving jennifer mee in jail. jennifer mee's lawyer says she's now being treated for the return of her hiccups. >> jennifer mee's mother is with us along with jennifer's attorney is here, good morning to both of you. have you seen jennifer? >> i have. >> how is she doing? >> she's holding up. >> you said in the piece what she has developmental issues and doesn't comprehend things at her grad level. does she comprehend what she's facing now, first-degree murder charges? >> i don't think so. she said the last time i saw her that she hopes she's home for
7:36 am
christmas. she doesn't understd the severity of what's going on right now. >> we remember your daughter from her several appearances here on the "today" show when she had this case of hiccups that wouldn't go away, we thought ofer as a young, innocent, somewhat shy little girl. take me back to the moment you heart the news tha she had been arrested on these charges. what was your reaction? >> definite state of shock, it was a nightmare. >> a state of shock, however, we do need to mention that in the years since jennifer appeared on this show, she had experienced some troubles. she had not led a perfect life even after the hiccups went away. describe for me some of the things she had been through. >> she was living different places. she always had a roof over her head. >> but she lived a transient lifestyle? >> she would stay at one place
7:37 am
for a couple of months and another place for couple of months and she was running with the wrong crowd. >> the kind of crowd that would be capable of getting into the kind of trouble she's in? >> john, it's a possibility you say that she had been diagnosed with tourette's syndrome after the episode wh the hiccups. is it true that you may actually use tourette's as a possible defense in this case? >> certainly to the extent that it is a mitigating factor, we're going to have her examined, a whole battery of neuro and psychiatric type tests need to be conducted. but it's going to be relevant, to the extent, i can't say now, b but tourette's is --
7:38 am
>> in truth the diagnosis of tour rhett's syndrome in a legal offender is no more a reason for or an excuse for such offense other than medical diagnoses. such as asthma or rheumatism. scientifically there is no evidence of causal relationship between having tourette's and committing a crime. >> for example, if a young lady is pregnant at the me of the sentencing in her case, that's a factor that the court's going to consider. that doesn't mean that pregnant women are killers, it just means that it's an issue that's ken into consideration. tourette's we believe in this case, not only explains the hiccups, but also could explain some of her poor judgment. >> you mentioned rachel, after this incident occurred that when it came to that ce of hiccups with jennifer, you said it was the curse of the hiccups, not
7:39 am
the case of the hiccups, what do you me by that. >> i kind of felt like she was more and more trying to withdraw from myself and h siblings and wanting to go out and do her own things, getting on t social sites, she had no business being on there, she's so naive, and it just escalated. >> i'm going to follow this case and see what happens with jennifer. let's get a check of the weather now

7:44 am
impossible. >> it was quite diffult, with the waves hitting us in the face constantly. >> just knuckle down and go slowly, don't ph yourself too hard and just relax andork your way toward the beach. >> reporter: after four hours of swimming, a vision of the horizon worth celebrating. peter and jeff spotted a large vessel and luckily the vessel spotted th. >> i'm normally a really controlled person, i screamed over the radio, we found them, we found them. and it was a joyous occasion. we were lieved, we we safe, we just felt fantastic. >> reporter: but peter and jeff's ordeal doesn't over yet. just before they reached shore a wave came up and rolled their rescue boat on its side. >> it's a cruel twist of fate. i looked behind just as i felt the surge and realized as soon as it hit, oh, this isn't good.
7:45 am
>> miraculously the only casualty waseter and jeff's came, lost or so they thought. nearly four years later, a local resident found it washed up on shore and tracked peter down, the camera and is pictures intact. now battling cancer, peter says the camera and pictures take on new meaning. >> getting this camer back reminded me that i shouldn't have given up hope, it came back miraculously and i'm hoping for a miracle. i want to survive. and it's a message of not giving up hope. >> and another great reunion to tell you about, peter and jeff never got to speak with the captain who first spotted them stranded at sea. and when the story surfaced about finding the camera, they said they always wanted to meet him and give him a bottle of scotch. when the captain hrd that, he couldn't refuse. >> i spoke with peternd jeff on thursday and i started by
7:46 am
asking peter what it was like to get his camera back after four yes. >> it was unbelievable. it really lifted my day. i have been fighting canr and it really cheered me up. the photos were spectacular and i'm overjoyed to have them. >> there's lots of photos of you diving and you looking underneath, those were the fun times. when you discovered that your boat was gone, suddenly the mood must have shifted and there's one particular photo, i think it's of jeff, i don't know, maybe it's of you peter, but i shows you clearly being unppy as your head the bopping above the water. ll us about those moments when you don't know what was going to happen next. >> i had just dumped all my heavy dive gear within the first five minutes basically to stay afloat and that was a lot better and then we just started swimming for australia, of course we love our beautiful
7:47 am
country. >> the boat sank it's sinker line and drifted a little bit. so by the time we came back, it was gone. >> so had enough energy left t take pictures of the rescue helicopter. you can actually see the helicopter that would eventually get you on to the police boat that would entually, the boat would eventually capsize. now what went through your mind then when you realized this had happened to you not just once but twice? >> well, it was actually wasn't the police boat that overturned. they picked us up and gave us the tion, they were going down to another port further down south and they said would you like to get back on board with your friends on your own dive boat? so we jumped backn the water and swam over. and we then came through the bar, at the river mouth to the ocean and it was low tide so the waves were really choppy and a big wave caught the divers unaware from behind and before
7:48 am
we knew it, we were in the water again. >> but everybody came out okay. and now peter, as you are, as we heard in the last report, you are battling cancer. what has thi experience, looking back at these pictures which you have been quoted as saying has made you remember and relive those moments o having survived that ordeal. how has that informed your own battle today and how might that inform all of your effortso overcome difficulties? >> just never give up. getting the camera back and the photos has given me a chance to give a really positive message abt being healthy and getting checked, especially for colorectal cancer. especially if you're checked. it's a positive good news story and i needed a little bit of positive good news. >> we're just happy to get a good message out. >>itis it's a great message and
7:49 am

9:39 am
ofublic opinion that he is still on trial in some way? >> i don't know about on trial, but certainly the 15,000 stories and cable news stories that projected him in a bad light certainly hurt public opinion and i don't know anybody that could have stood up to that kind of scrutiny and that kind of coverage that happened to my dad. >> how is he doing through all of this? >> he's good. he's held up well, mom and dad both have done well. and it's been a tough, tough go for the entire family. and i'm proud of everybody. >> and given what you all have been through over the last nine years, how do you explain the 15,000 plus stories,he media scrutiny, where did all of that come from? why was that umbrella of suspicion around your father? >> i think part of it was fox news just getting going and they
9:40 am
built it a lot of their network on gary's name and they attacked him constantly. a lot of cable news did that, a lot of the newspapers did that. it was too good of a story to pass up, so to speak, a disappearance,ex, murder, from day one and they ran with that. and we said he didn't have anything to do with the disappearance of shan dra levy. the folks back home, i want to thanks those folks for standing by, a lot of them stood by my dad an my mom and it means a lot. >> this has beenery hard on your family, but a lot of the speculation has really been about the relationship that your father had with chandra levy in fact, in court there was some physical evidence was presented which appeared to suggest that there was a physical or sexual

9:46 am
probably aest to having met a man along the way who has said, i just don't want to talk about it. and you're saying that this really is he really is epidemic? >> it is an epidemic, but when you get men tether in friendship groups by themselves, they'll talk about things all night long, the same thing they said they didn't wan to talk about, they need to have a place to talk about. >> all the things that wen talk about, their insecurities, their worries, tir problems. but there's something that stops men from really being able to fe comfortable. and it's almost as if society has created a rule, put them in a box saying it's not okay to be re. >> we live in a performance society. but so much of our identity as men is based on what we do, the kind of behavior we have, how we
9:47 am
perform at work, the expectations in the community of what a man is and what he isn't. instead of dealing with our real identy, who we are, those are the things that this conversation is about that men aren't talking about. >> you talking about a very important moment in your life when you're walking your daughter down the aisle getting ready for marriage. >> dave was falling in love with jenny, and jenny was falling in love with dave and i knew this guy was going to come and ask me for myaughter in marriage. at that moment, i didn't have one memory of any conversation with my father, with any friends, i hadn't heard a sermon or a lecture about what reall happens if a father gives her daughter, if i say yes to this young man, i am in one moment in one word, setting the welfare and legacy of my daughter and i had no legacy. so i started asking the question, what else are men n talking about?
9:48 am
you said the answer is worth an entire book. >> right. >> how can women help men? >> the book was going to be titled, instead of bond of brothers, my first title was things men don't talk about and then i realized how dishonest that was from my standpoint because i hadn't talked to men about this. so i started a dinner groom with my friend d.j. weber who invited me to come to a dinner one night with young men from columbia university and he asked the question, he said what's the most surprising thing that's ever happened in your life and these young men o were all on a sports team sat aroundnd talked all night long pouring their hearts out. they talked about their successes, their failures, their dpis appointments. i think one thing men have to learn is how to ask great questions. and one of the things guys really want to talk out, tell me about your father, what was your father like? did he hurt you? did he abuse you? do you admire him? d he abuse you and you still
9:49 am
admire him? and we started a conversation back in nashville, tennessee, that conversation about our fathers went to four hours. >> if women can encourage men to have these conversation which is tough, but also for men to acknowledge that they're human just like eryone else. you write men will never outtalk women, but nevertheless, they'll be happier and healthier, and at least there's some place they can find a way to speak about what's truly in their soul. >> i don't think it's possible for men to have healthy marriages or healthy family relaonships in the way they're meant to have them unless they ha have deep friendships with other men. there's something abo the same gender friendship that women have with women that men need with other men that is so important that comete him as a man and what's lacking i him. the book is about helping men find those friendships and to bond to others. >> and maybe to be better
9:50 am
mothers, so we can raise boys to be able to share in that way, so they can actually be happier and it also encourages men to speak in a way that's healthier for them. >> in five years of observing my own life and observing the friendships around me, there are so many moms who are trying to do it right, they are trying to prevent their son from becoming like the man who hurt them. and so they've got to be really careful about that. there's more in the book that they can talk about. >> a big message, an important message. the book is called "bond of brothers." >> and coming up next, bon jovi plays one more song selected by you, the viewers.
