and hillary is heating up. let's go straight to craig patrick. bernie sanders is coming off a big win in michigan and so who has more to lose tonight? >> clinton does; because she has more delegates and she is the front runner. and while there are fireworks they are not directing much of it at each other. rather, each have been focused much of their attacks, nearly all of it as a matter of fact on the gop front runner donald trump. and when asked if he was a racist, they would not go, there and hillary clinton mocked trump's call for a wall that mexico would pay for but the first part of the debate brought up points that hillary clinton did not necessarily want to cover, first why she thought she

we'll map it out for you and 11:00 and tomorrow a very big day for both candidates. hinter will be here in tampa, ybor city and bernie sanders will be holding an event later on in the day tomorrow, and i'll be there. i will talk to bernie sanders one-on-one. >> and craig, thanks. meantime donald trump and his republican rivals are busy campaigned in florida ahead of the big winner-take-all primary. >> strer >> stranger danger in polk county. police are looking for a man they believe tried to abduct a little 11-year-old girl after she got off the bus, and josh is live to tell us more. >> kelley, that guy tried luring the 11-year-old into the car by

hospital and she needed to get in the car with him to go to the hospital. but fortunately she knew you never talk to strangers and got the heck out of there, and tonight deputies want to catch this guy. some kids. >> he came up to her in a four-door white vehicle, a 2000's model, tinted windows, black rims, black bumper and said, hey, your mom is in the hospital and they sent me to get you. >> but thankfully it didn't work tuesday evening on an 11-year-old girl from davenport. >> norwich fortunately this young lady was astute enough to know nah, that is not true and they took off running. >> she had just gotten off the bus in a quiet community filled

>> we walk all the time and it seems like a great neighborhood. i'm surprised. >> deputies put out this composite sketch calling it 80% accurate. he was wearing a green shirt with orange lettering and may may neighbors are praising the little girl for running away rather than becoming a victim. >> i would probably have gone right in the car, but today they educate kids. >> we have to find him before he picked up some young person some place, we are exceptionally concerned. >> it's every parent's nightmare, and there are cameras near the area but it doesn't show the incident, or more accurately the charade this man played to an innocent little girl. >> hopefully someone recognizes that guy or the car. the polk county sherrif's office is waiting to hear from you.

to pasco, where deputies say a man tried to suffocate and kidnap a woman. jason cheladyn attacked her while they were sitting in his car. he asked her if she wanted to smoke pot and when she said no and opened the door, he tried to put a plastic bag over her head, but they got away, and this is the tag, bpsp50, a red hundred hyundai, and if you know where he is pasco county deputies want to hear from you. >> okay, it's day three in the hulk hogan sex tape trial, and hogan's attorney says the more he actually pleaded with the gawker website to take down the video, the more gawker refused. >> david houston was his name and he said he was not threatening or rude.

the right thing, and as soon as he realized they had posted the website he tried everything to have it taken down. he wrote e-mails to gawker pleading with them to remove it from the website and the tape showed hogan having sex with heather clem, and houston says he threatened to sue but instead tried a softer approach. >> we are not here to challenge you or tell you what to do. it is certainly something that could cause great damage to my client and therefore i'm asking you please, as another human being take down the video. >> gawker did not remove it until they got an order from a judge, and they said hoaken hogan talked openly about his sex life and that made it fair game.

buying drugs and he says they beat him with a pipe and stick, and strangled him with an electrical cord and then violated him. >> nathan sodomized him with a flash light asking him, "how does that feel now? how do you like it" and then they beat him to death. >> the brothers say they called her father and told him what they had down and he helped them take the body to sumter down and burn it. he is charged with accessory to murder, and there is an investigation to see if the female was actually raped by banks. they took pictures of the victim's body with a cell phone and showed it to them bragging about the murder. he says the suspected are cooperating and have given pass codes for their phones to get

interesting grady judd moment. >> i can tell you the first time we do have trouble getting into a cell phone we are going to seek an order from apple and when they deny us, i am going to go and lock the ceo of apple up because you can't violate the law and when you are asked for information and you don't provide it, we are going to see how good their lawyers are. >> so tim cook, you are on notice, i guess. the sheriff was referring to apple refusing to help the fbi broke into the apple phone of one of the riverside, california terrorists. and so we'll see if there is ever a case where judd can flex the muscle he put into that
