many of the investigators knew david stone and his wife alisa.in moscow city hall as a grants writer. who was your dave, personality, character? yeah, someone that was very caring, was a really good stepdad. he was on the volunteer fire department. charles capone, were they friends? yes, yes. did you know rachael? i knew her only from church. dennis: alisa knew her husband was at the garage that friday night and said nothing seemed amiss. what did he say was going on there? he said he dropped charles off at mingles and that there had been some interaction with rachael that wasn't happy. and charles said he wanted to have a drink. and so he dropped him off. and he was going to go back and pick him up, and he'd be home. dennis: intriguing, perhaps. but the two friends' mismatched stories did nothing to advance the cops' case. dispatcher: 357-- dennis: with rachael still missing, there was no evidence an actual crime had even occurred. all they had were their suspicions about david stone and charles capone. so now you've got two different versions o

alisa cohn, welcome to the programme.n with this, because one of the most recent eye—watering pay packets that we've noticed — totalling more than $110 million, plus the use of a jet to commute — has been for the new boss of starbucks. so how does a company decide what a boss — a single individual — is actually worth? mostly, it's the board who decides, based on market comps, based on certainly bringing external consultants in, and also getting a little bit of a sense of what this new person could do, you know, for the company. so in the case of brian niccol being brought into starbucks, i think it's pretty obvious that there's a big hope for him and his ability to turn that company around, which is certainly needed right now. if we stick with starbucks's brian niccoljust for a moment, he's been brought in to try and turn around a company which employs nearly a00,000 people around the world. and he has a host of problems, including products, stores and pricing. so how does a single individual go about tackling a list of p

what moved voters is what alisa talked about. you have to be talking about lowering grocery prices. you have to talk about the cost of living. you have to talk about the things that every average american is talking about at their kitchen table and we lost focus of that. january 6th is a day that if i were to sit here and tell alisa or anyone else, i want to injure 140 police officers, i want to make sure the president of the united states is down at the mall, threatening democracy and then if kamala harris doesn't certify the elections, i want her hung, that would actually chill the backbone of people that heard me say that. that's what we went through. that is a day in our history. but going forward, democrats have to be about the party of tomorrow. donald trump is a very little man as we just saw in his talking to hugh hewitt about how difficult it is. he's going to air those grievances. that's fine. but democrats have to find some backbone and be a party about tomorrow, not necessarily about january 6th. >> once the president- elect is sworn in, he'll control the white house, bo

certainly guilty of violence, should not be pardoned on the days sworn in as president is so i was alisa disappointed by her answer and then this kash patel issue and i'm going to meet him next week for the first time. have read enough a lot about him there's enough a lot to read pretty he has a lot to say and he said it is published is in the book form. one of the things that he said is thatt he has an enemies list, secret police agency throughout history, has an enemy list. the american fbi does not and should not braided nothing serious questions about this man from his judgment and his political views that he would bring to office pretty this witness body embraced him as a person ranking job i certainly don't feel that way and is going up to well there are questions race and having said that when he conceded two things, first, vice set out to hire attorney she certainly has the strongest resume and should be hired number two, the testimony today particulate for people of the opposite political party in florida, has assessed testimony to the fact that she's been bipartisan and very ef

on monday our conference have the opportunity for president trump as alisa mentioned as he laid out his priorities for the months ahead, including reconciliation. needless to say we have a lot of work to do and little time to do it. the house republican majority can and will deliver because failure is not an option. we will engage in a bottom-up process on reconciliation to make sure every member voice is heard and no one's vote is taken for granted. we understand the american people expect us to work quickly which is why speaker johnson set an aggressive timeline for passing a budget resolution by the end of february. it will allow committees to begin drafting legislation, where the real work will begin. in the words of probably one of the greatest coaches of all time , herb brooks, this is our time, this is our moment, the american people can rest assured we will go out there and take it. lastly, i want to address the first ridiculous media hoax of 2025. the office and management -- of management and budget spending parities should be seen for what it is, good governance. there have b

alisa, where is this storm hitting now?we are still looking at impacting kentucky with some significant freezing rain and sleet. still some thunder sleet in there. we're still looking at the line of storms stretching down to the gulf coast, and we still have some heavy snow from parts of cincinnati, saint louis and then still wrapping into kansas city. that just keeps tacking on to its snow total. the system has been so potent. we are looking at thunder sleet right now over parts of kentucky. there. thunder, sleet, some thunder mixing in with freezing rain. just incredible to see that. it just shows you how powerful this storm is. heavy snow from cincinnati and indianapolis. again, still snow wrapping around missouri. and then you've got the line of storms stretching south. we've already had snow totals over a foot in parts of kansas, 14 more than 14in in manhattan, kansas, 18in in north chapman. and we've also already had ice reports over a half an inch in parts of kansas and missouri. this is incredibly important to monit

i quickly want to thank producers alisa miller and clifford photojournalist chris attic, kevin myers, todd nguyen and al meshberg, our truck op, as well as our correspondents and producers and journalists who've worked often at great risk themselves covering these fires for this past week and its ongoing aftermath. they've been away from their kids and families during these difficult days, and it's an honor to work alongside all of you. it's also an honor to witness the firefighters and law enforcement officers who have come here from all over and are still right now, working around the clock. we've seen a lot of terrible things here, but we've also seen the best in our fellow human beings neighbors, source. tonight, president biden's parting message to the nation after half a century in public service and just five days left as president. his warning to a americans tonight about what he calls an oligarchy taking shape here in america. and there's new details this evening about that ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. how soon dozens of hostages could be freed, including two amer

so, alisa, walk us through what's happening right now and then what's to come?> yeah, i mean, it's been a really busy day. we've got a mix of everything going on right now. we're talking heavy snow, heavy ice. and look at the line of lightning of all of the thunderstorms that we've had stretching from nashville all the way down to houston. so again, going to show a potent storm that's really getting fed by a lot of warm and moist air that's been triggering this ice that is of great concern as well. when you have that warmer air, it's able to melt some of that snow in the middle of the air and get it to freeze on contact. so that's where you get some of that freezing rain and that sleet. get some thunder sleet in there as well. again, signs of this potent storm from paducah to london and kentucky. heavy snow from cincinnati wrapping around. still in kansas city and saint louis. we have had snow totals over a foot over parts of kansas. manhattan, kansas, 14in, 18in in north chapman, kansas. and we've had some of these ice totals over a half an inch. doesn't seem l

alisa, a lot of people are going to be affected by this. when do you expect the worst of it to hit? >> really? not until tomorrow. what you're seeing on radar doesn't look like much. it's really just the appetizer. and also just goes to show how much little ice it takes to really cause problems. there have been problems all day on the roads in wichita, as you mentioned, problems at the airport in kansas city. and this is all of the storm that we have so far. it really starts to blow up on the overnight. and we're looking at major winter storm impacts from the central plains, from kansas all the way to the mid-atlantic to d.c. as we get towards monday, we're talking about difficult to nearly impossible travel. heavy and blowing snow, significant ice, all of this causing some power outages. and in some parts of kentucky, we're looking at extreme impacts that will disrupt daily life from louisville over towards evansville, indiana. really just could be significant. and this is mainly because of the ice accumulation. if we get a half to three quarters of an inch of ice, that will cause

alisa, what are you seeing? >> what else are you going to do when it snows on bourbon street? right? >> snowball fights, snowmen, anything. cross-country skiing is like. no, no, downhill skiing is great. sorry. continue. >> just, i mean, incredible to see the snow in the places that it was. i mean, you're looking at a welcome to florida sign at the state line with snow piling on palm trees. just incredible things that we have never really seen before. something like this hasn't happened in decades. this is a live look at bourbon street, where you can see snow piled up on the sidewalks. looks like they attempted to plow, but it iced over. i mean, a lot of these cities aren't prepared for this. they don't get snow like this. they don't have the plows and the salt trucks and things like that. new orleans shattered their record for snowiest day by almost three times eight inches the previous record was 2.7in, set back in 1963. i mean, look at some of these totals. alabama 11in lafayette, ten and a half. pensacola, more than seven inches mobile, seven and a half. again, just incred
