aaron and his brother moved in with ralph full-time. but aaron couldn't move on.ve left some trail somewhere. barely a teenager, he taught himself every web search engine, looked for years. but found no sign of his mom online. and a terrible suspicion took hold of him, hardened into something like certainty. his mother must be dead. his father must have done it. >> and after that, it became more of, okay, where would he put her body? >> he was maybe 13 or 14 when he thought about those old coal mines around walsenburg. >> you actually went and looked? >> oh, yeah, i went through a lot of those mines myself. >> alone? >> mm-hmm. >> you're looking for the remains of your own mother. i mean, i can't imagine what that -- >> i can't explain it. it's always been a fire that just drives you to do something. >> and then one day -- >> i had been going through so of my dad's stuff in the basement. i found a box of stuff that she had supposedly taking with her. a denim jacket her mother had given her, passport was there. >> what was that like. >> that was kind of the final s

i'm pre-sure that aaron burr himself didn't know -- i'm pretty sure that aaron burr himself did know what was intended. ,'m going to cite a distinction several years ago donald was often lampooned and criticized for drawing known kions between the unknown knowns, and jay leno had great fun with this because it up a station in the extreme. i thought this was one of those instances where he had it right. those people in the intelligence business, and i have this from some authorities, william casey used to distinguish between secrets and mysteries. in the intelligence business, these are of interest if they involve your enemy or something you're in me will do. but there is a fundamental difference between secrets and mysteries. secrets have a concrete secret is how many missile launchers to the soviet union have a 1985. in the cia spent a lot of time trying to figure out the answer to that question but had -- but it had an answer. but a mystery is did israel bomb iran-- will israel bomb next week? does that -- that does not have an answer at this point because it hasn't happened. likew

e heartbreak ofth aaron burr." now, if you should choose to buy the book, you will see -- i will sign it for you by the way. you will see that it has the appearance of a novel, for example, there's no table table of contents. there is no author is preface, the chapters don't have chapter 3, 4, they are just 1, 2, and so on. you might think if you hadn't come tonight -- i would be delighted if you thought it was novel and you were just drawn in. but in fact, it's a world that exists i wanted to use the techniques of novel writing. i don't use the technique of making up dialogue. every bit of dialogue in there was really spoken or written by the characters. now, you can't do this about every character. what you need is the raw materials of history. case, i was fortunate -- it is one of the reasons i chose the topic -- by the existence of correspondent letters between aa very remarkable daughter, who he called theo. wasletters begin when theo a young girl, and they continue until -- this is why i don't know if i shoul

if bob doesn't know an answer, aaron will.d aaron's testified in big cases before, including in the eastern district of virginia when i was u.s. attorney. aaron went from being an fbi special agent to being a federal prosecutor and was one of the most important witnesses in our presentation of the 9/11 case. so big case experience. diligent, humble, smart and earnest. knows the case backwards and forwards and will help tell the story. >> neal, what do you make about the sort of churn around this decision today? obviously these two committees, i'm not sure about what the timing was in terms of when this was first broached and how they're making these decisions. it seems like the judiciary committee won't swear mr. zebley in. they'll allow him to advise mr. mueller but not answer his own questions. the intelligence committee will handle it a little bit different. obviously it's unusual to have a second witness at the last moment. >> yeah, look, it's unusual. we're all guessing as to what's going on, but fundamentally i don't thi

his name was aaron louis. he was an unemployed truck driver who had been convicted of petty crimes in several states. to beverly's son carl jr., he didn't look like a kidnapper. >> he just looks like a regular guy. so it was like what did this punk want with my mom? like it didn't make sense. i almost was like are we sure we have the right guy? >> detectives believed they did. but the roller coaster ride for beverly carter's family and friends was far from over. >> i can remember the feeling when he was captured, we were just all like, yes, where is she? come on, where are you? we're ready to find you. >> as investigators focused on aaron louis, they backed off on beverly's husband as a suspect. now detective allison was keeping carl in the loop. >> he said we got him. i said, well, where's beverly? he said, we're still questioning him. we're going to find out. we're going to keep on till we find her. >> then did you have a little burst of hope? >> just a little bit of hope. that's all i had. >> really your bi

i have spoken to aaron zudly, cnn him for a decade. he is in the finest traditions of a nonpartisan careered justice department official. if anything for the fbi he's conservative. >> when the president of the united states goes out or here mueller's arriving up on capitol hill right now. you see him walking in. clearly got some security which is totally understandable given the nature of what's going on right now, we're going to watch, jake, as he goes in. he's going to go into a room off the hearing room first, get himself ready and soon the leadership of the ranking member chair will come out and say high. >> when he was reported a lot of republicans sung his praise, talked about he was a man of integrity, decorated vietnam veteran, somebody who served with honor at the fbi, and of course he's seen his name dragged through the mud or at least the president and his minions have attempted to drag his name through the amud. i believe he generally has his reputation in fact, but it's been an unpleasant experience for him. all he's testi

aaron zebley had wide-ranging responsibilities oversees the entire mueller investigation. volume i and volume ii of the report. and he was the primary go-between with the justice department. that puts aaron zebley in a position to know everything about the mueller deep's communications with deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, who was supervising the investigation, and then attorney general william barr when he took over the supervision of the investigation. the chairman of the judiciary committee and the intelligence committee both said today that they believe robert mueller does not have to comply with the restrictions on his testimony that appeared in last night's letter from the justice department to robert mueller. >> i think it's incredibly arrogant of the department to try to instruct him as to what to say. it's part of the ongoing cover-up by the administration to keep information away from the american people. but i think that it's not going to have a real impact. >> we don't recognize that limitation at all, and what's more, they don't recognize that limitatio

i want to start with you, aaron blake.our colleague who accompanied the vice president to the board friday rocked my world, ruined my friday night with that gut-wrenching, searing description of what he saw and to the last conversation we were having, and i banned this expression here but we will use it one last time, the cruelty is the point of these policies. in this case it's another example though of what would appear to be either an incompetently executed publicized raid or some defiance within the department of homeland security. aaron, i think we lost your mic. we will fix it. let me start with you, lemire. >> it's a few things. yes, by all accounts the raids were not as widespread or significant as the president promised. but we don't want to forget the impact they have on people here in the communities. there were images around this weekend, very immigrant heavy neighborhoods in new york city, jackson heights, queens, brooklyn, so on. ball fields usually teaming with people, empty. no soccer being played. not many
