the bergen county medical examiner concluded the manner of jody scharf's death could not be determined anything else. case closed. or was it? >>> coming up -- so you didn't think this was a horrible accident. >> no. >> the suspicions grow. was there a weapon at this romantic rendezvous? >> you have your wine, cheese, crackers and claw hammer. red flares are going up, >>> jody scharf's death on these cliffs had been a horrible accident. her husband said so. and the medical examiner wasn't arguing with him. but detectives have a kind of sixth sense about cases. it was telling james linem something sinister had happened. so you didn't think this was a horrible accident. >> no. >> there wasn't any smoking gun, really. just something dark linem thought he could read between the lines in the police notes he reviewed the day after jody's death. >> he did not react like somebody who just lost his wife should have reacted. >> so the detective moved his investigation from the physical evidence to the less tangible clues. he quickly learned from jody's friends that this was a couple not in love b

the beginning. >> this is me. bergen. grew up in a small southern town, dalton, georgia. sweet. i know, i know. only child, the first thing people think is lonely, social odd balls. i certainly never felt lonely. i grew up with a lot of kids in my age. i have a tom boy in me but not much. fast forward through the physically awkward middle school years to high school. dalt ton high school. cattle country. honestly, i loved high school. i was a cheer leader and the gishls that i cheered were were best friends and the guys that i cheered with were like brothers to me. we hung out on the weekends, went to dances and loitered in the walgreens parking lot when we were bored and had nothing to do. although i'm not trying to make myself out to a virgin and i moved into an all girl school, joined a sorority and interior designer is my major. i had plenty of new friends to go to football games with, plenty fraternities and go out on the weekends. one being a change in our virginity status. so some of my friend stories were sweet, and romantic and largely disappointing. it was diffe

republicans could write a book about what's the matter with bergen? taxes and answers a lot of them share their values that are more important and particularly if you are thinking about it not only the socialist issues like and guns, the women are much more open to an activist role of government right now than any other part of the white electorate. if he can defend the idea of a balanced approach to deficits for example that is not -- that is something that resonates well with some of those voters. i also think that the questions to them will be how the sharper populist tone is received among the upper middle class voters and do they say okay yeah the people are -- at the top are screwing me to a running talks about the rich paying their fair share, they are going to be in that net because in the end i think it's going to be very hard for him even with the most populist message that anybody could want to make any roads in that white working-class. they resisted him from day one. that upper-middle-class is part of the electorate but probably the most

i don't know the numbers book money has been better than movie money with their had good been good. none of us are mark ms. looker bergenate to have books that have done well and then movies that have been made but when i started out i was 26 roi. this is the part of conversation by the ask my parents not to watch i sold a bunch of books and tv some and made a lot of money and nearly a million dollars in debt, so argeo would -- i don't have any major vices, don't drink, don't do drugs, and yet i ended up a million dollars in debt, $75,000 on credit card debt. leota taxes about half a million to close 700,000, had bills the -- there was like an irs agent who knew me by name which is not a good thing. there's a point they are not a good you have to give something. those people who get paid a lot of money. i would wake up on wednesday and i would say lundgren to go to the airport and he is deeply colored by a first-class ticket to somewhere like paris that i would book a hotel room for two weeks a major sweet pea reduced to go to paris and i would book of the plaza for three weeks and i would stay there and i would have fr

the fbi had conversations. number two, that mayor bloomberg chose to show a video of what these pipe bombs could do and peter bergen saying, if this is all al qaeda has to offer, we don't worry much. >> excellent points. one thing you have to keep in mind, of all the terrorism case ice followed over the last ten years, we have never seen a video before a trial. usually it happens during the trial, and usually certainly in federal cases that kind of video is safeguarded. jock so they don't just so it. but, again, they didn't want to take a chance. it's not clear exactly when the fbi was in fact contacted. ed mayor was very, very careful last night to mention fbi director robert mueller by name and his theory on terrorism and how you stop it, but it appears that the feds were really shut out of this entire operation. so whether the nypd simply wanted to do it on their own, go it alone and sort of present it to the public. i'm sure we'll hear more about that today. >> i'm sure we will. deb feyerick, thank you. >>> the sounds of surrender. it appears the super committee, oh, yeah, charged with finding ways to cut $1.2
