back with us, michael brooks. we also want to welcome in my colleague and friend, jane velez-mitchell, host of "issues" coming up at the top of the hour. we were just talking, and even in talking to her parents, it's just a baffler at this point. someone so excited to be at a concert, ends up outside and just tells friends, okay, i'll meet you later. can't get back in. >> i'm also very baffled at just the lack of any clues and any apparent leads. law enforcement apparently indicating the surveillance video is not helpful at the arena. why not? i mean, this is an area where the college that she went to, which is a neighboring college, not too far away, had this horrible massacre. we know they increased the security in the wake of that. you would think that they would have the state of the art surveillance cameras at these stadiums, in this day and age, given everything that's gone on. i'm very perplexed at the fact that time has passed, and we don't have a vehicle description, we don't have a description of anybody

on cnn. >> good work, brooke. we warned you about pictures. >> it's tough. >> we always have a reason and a context for why we show these things. thank you. >> well, time again for your angels to turn into ghosts and goblins. one of the popular costumes may not be very scary. it might make some people angry. >>> i've been telling you all day about the balloon boy saga that authorities now say was a hoax. we've been asking for your views on this. what do you think should happen to the heene family? what do you think about kids that seem to be becoming victims of america's obsession with reality tv? let's get to the phones. john calling us ohio. john, what's your take. >> caller: i don't think anything should be done to the heene family except -- >> john, hold on one second. one of our other callers on hold is talking. if you can be listening to john. sorry. >> caller: okay. i think the heene family should get misdemeanemisdemeaners. i believe they did something serious but i don't believe they shared sole blame. th

brooke, you with me? fox, whoever needs to apologize directly to her. >> yeah, a simple apology goes a long way. and i agree with tanika, she does open herself up to criticism, but at the same time, she deserves an apology. and also, what's done is done. maybe this will serve as a lesson to all the men who were involved in this ad to be a little more sensitive in the future. >> you don't think women got together to do this story? >> i don't think so. >>> let's move on to this model madness story. in a brand-new interview on the "today" show, the ralph lauren model whose scary-skinny image in a ralph lauren ad who sparked a ton of controversy now says she was fired for being too fat at 5'10" and 120 pounds. you've got to hear what she said this morning. >> they said, i couldn't fit in the clothes anymore. >> they said that to you? >> not to me directly, but to my agency, yeah. >> oh. so -- and could you fit in the clothes anymore? >> i could fit into clothes. >> so you didn't understand this? >> no. >> you

how about that, mike brooks? is there any part of this investigation that may take place from this point forward that this might have been a publicity stunt, a hoax perhaps orchestrated by the father? there's no evidence of that, but is this something you might look at? >> the bottom line is, the little boy is safe, and he's not harmed. everything's turned out okay. but i think they're going to take a look at all this, vinnie. i was looking on my blackberry, and on my facebook page, somebody wrote that, how do you say publicity stunt. is it? we don't know. it's something that law enforcement will take a look into, because of the amount of assets, both police, fire and ems that were used during this search. i have to agree with the captain from the national guard, you know, as a former investigator and public servant myself, would they have done anything different? absolutely not. they were only going on the information that they had. and they had to do that. now they're going to step back, take a look, what else
