ben hobbs and chris tapp were guilty, they were sure of it. so that mystery dna must have come from a third man, a third attacker. so they put tapp back in the interrogation room and asked him was a third man involved in the crime? and sure enough, chris tapp said, yes, there was a third man. but no matter how many times detectives asked, he couldn't or wouldn't tell them who it was. the prosecutors made a decision, if tapp wasn't going to tell them the whole truth, he wouldn't get his deal. chris tapp was charged with murder, but only chris. not enough evidence to go after hobbs or anyone else. the announcement caught carol dodge by surprise. detectives had kept her in the dark until now. but one look at christopher tapp in court and she knew she wanted him dead. >> it was finally looking, somebody in the eye, i thought was the devil who had taken my daughter's life. >> reporter: chris tapp was found guilty and set off to state prison for 40 years, which is when carol dodge's odyssey really began. her own investigation filled with danger, sur

numbers so in reading the tea leaves about what the fed could do bloomberg compared july rhetoric from ben bernanke himself to february rhetoric in part to deduce the fed could cut the interest it pays banks for excess reserves take a listen and a possibility that we have discussed in the past is cutting their interest rate we paid excess reserves as a range of things that we could do. each one of them has costs and benefits and that's an important part of the calculation. now we don't lot of the money the fed has tried to pump into the economy has wound up right back at the fed so what would getting rid of that interest paid really do here to focus on all of this and what the fed's actions mean for the lives of average people is mike maloney founder of gold silver dot com and author of a guide to investing in gold and silver which is part of the rich dad poor dad series a very popular series there and always a very popular guest on capital account so first of all mike maloney welcome back to the show thank you so much for being on today from what looks like beautiful los angeles. thanks f
