let's see what's on carmen's mind. >> i'm carmen. >> i'm ray. >> and we need a money coach. >> my biggest concern related to our finances is having enough money for retirement. i currently have a roth ira through my employer and my husband and i each have one through our banks. i don't feel that i need because. fees i'm being charged a fee from the bank and then i'm being charged a fee through my employer. it's not a large amount of money. but i just think that it's money that i can use to save and contribute to one roth instead of two. my question is, do i really need two roths. >> carmen, i love what you've got. it's a special kind of roth that more and more people will have over the next few years. as a choice in a 401(k) plan. you can stay in the traditional 401(k), or make the decision you did, and go in the roth 401(k). they're wonderful. because you put in after-tax dollars, that will grow tax-free through the years, and they'll never be taxed again. plus, you're still eligible for whatever employer match your employer chooses to make. now that goes in pre-tax dollars. that portion

that's a tough distinction. >> also to you carmen st. george, you've seen plenty of cases like this. investigators say 90 sex offenders have been interviewed, but they didn't say any of them had been cleared. >> well of course, nancy. i think those are the main suspects because clearly she was abducted and killed. it had signs that somebody had been casing the area, saw an opportunity, took her. she was by the abandoned house. within a three-mile radius, at least 57 registered sex offenders reside. >> back to tiffany griffith, wokv, what can you tell us about that abandoned house? what evidence, if any, has it revealed? >> well, they're definitely still testing evidence that they pulled from the house. they have wrapped up with that house at this point, so all the fdle trucks have pulled away. right now they are scanning that evidence and will learn if there's any connection between somer's disappearance and what might have gone on there. >> i want to go to dr. michael bell. dr. bell, the palm beach county chief medical examiner. cops ar

so he actually met carmen at the party where all the children were at before they headed back on to the henry hudson parkway. he said that was around 8:00 p.m. he said she had no signs of drinking, she didn't look intoxicated, so he felt like it was okay for her to go and spend the night but he had no idea this was going to be the results of that. >> yeah. i mean, there's no way to protect your children from everything and i don't think, dr. reef karim, that we should be blaming the children's parents who were not there at the time that this woman took the kids in the car when she was drunk, because these parents are in agony right now. this dad just lost a child. he's angry. he's not to blame. he's the victim here. >> yeah. he's absolutely the victim. all parents, i mean, this is such a tragedy. we can't blame them. you're not going to know, you can't be a fortune teller in regards to this. what this case does bring up, though, is that this was social drinking. listen, just a couple of drinks can change your brain enough whereby you cannot drink. there's a reason we have a legal limit.

>> carmen. and then all of a sudden the car starts to shake. and i could tell that everyone was scared. but they just -- raised their hand. >> nobody raised their hand? do you remember what you were thinking at the time? >> i felt scared. worried. >> pictured in "the new york post" and new york daily use, pleaded not guilty to manslaughter where she is on suicide watch. i don't get it. if she on suicide watch, she has to be feeling remorseful about something. why a not guilty plea? does that make sense to you? meantime, similar scenario. way different and check out this video. from the website x-17 online. it is supposedly shows cops letting a suspected tipsy celebrity, dennis quaid, off the hook. if true, is it another case of a double standard of justice? more on that in just a moment. first, back out to my awesome panel. we are adding in ken sealy, the famous interventionist. help us make sense of this woman that's accused of this. she's supposedly on suicide watch because she feels so horrible about the fact this child died and the others w

. -- carmen and pure point. no word tonight on the condition of the suspect. >> there is a manhunt underway for a man who escaped police. investigators say he dragged a police officer as he fled. >> police had to use a lot of the yellow crime take this afternoon. what happened covered multiple blocks and created three distinct crime scenes that had to be sealed off for investigation. it started just before 1:00 at the western district police station. a man showed up to meet with authorities, but took off when he realized there's a warrant out for him. a police officer tried to stop him by turning off the ignition in his car, but the man drove off, dragging the officer for about five blocks. another officer he fired at the car, hitting the back window. the car was ditched several blocks away, and there is no sign of the suspect. >> is pretty obvious when you have an officer hanging out your window that you were dragging someone. i am pretty sure he was aware of that. >> luckily he did not get hurt too badly. >> a

. >> greg: finally an explanation as to why carmen electra once married. in avarro. it has been changing women's taste in men and makes boyish dudes like bill more attractive. it would explain by manley 1950s and '60s stars have been replaced by the more weak kneed star is of today big johnny depp and russell brandon and the irresistible john gibson. it makes me pine for the days of old when men were men and looked like this. >> oh. >> greg: they put the man and the tease in manatees. >> i know how that manatee felt. >> does this explain, jill, the success of leo dicaprio who really is a moon faced girl. >> that is what i was thinking. i thought what about leo because i thought for years i haven't understood the appeal. >> greg: they have cheek bones and good skin. they are hot girls with existences ternal genitalia. >> and they are men that could easily play women as opposed to the late great patrick swayze. remember he could not play a woman? >> you are attracted to the wrong wilfred brimly. >> greg: if this trend continues and women continue to go for feminine men

joining me live to talk about this carmen wong uhlrich.ice to see you. >> nice to see you it's a sales push for flat or lower sales. little change from this last year. do you think that's the case? >> absolutely. you will see a study this week, 84% of americans say they'll spend the same or less this holiday season so retailers are really expecting this year, opposed to last year not expecting such a huge, huge drop so this year they have adjusted the expectations and inventory in response. we are seeing huge bargain deals like walmart, toys r us. 100 toys under $10. people spending less and in smaller amounts. >> what about discussions overall about the recovery here in the united states? they say it's a lagging indicator and don't know until we're out of it saying that's the point or are we still recovering? >> here's what's important. the american consumer doesn't feel it and won't until the unemployment numbers are bet tore have a job to spend some money and consumer spending is just not where it was for a very long time. so a lot of e

cops say carmen had a blood-alcohol level 1 1/2 times of the legal limit when she got behind the wheel after drinking at a party. a witness at that party says carmen was the only one drinking, but one friend is standing by her tonight. >> i have never known her to be a drinker. i have never known her to be a violent person. all i know her to do is take care of the kids. take care of her responsibilities. and that's it. that's what that woman does. >> cops arrested her for drunk driving and vehicular manslaughter but oh my god, this isn't the first time, an allegedly wasted mom kills a child passenger. tonight's big issue, is this some kind of scary new trend? will we have mothers against drunk driving? are we going to have mothsers for drunk driving? i want to hear from you. back to my fantastic panel. i have got to start with the cop who has to do with this on the street. steve rogers, what is it going to take to wake people up to wake moms up? you cannot have so much as one drink and get into a car with seven kids especially when there's not enough seat belts for seven kids. >> well

for some perspective, i'll bring in carmen wong ulrich. i want you to smile. good news. >> know why i'm smiling? it means consumers are putting the money where it needs to go which is into their pockets to pay off credit card bills. we're not going see a lot of pick up in retail sales. people will spend a lot less. we saw a report earlier in the week, 84% say they'll spend as much as they spent last year, which was not a lot, or less. >> how much is that factored into things from the businesses in the malls and the small shop, even the big retailers. because we saw a lot of places shudder up in january. >> they haven't stopped shuddering. this could be another very bleak january. i'd love to shine some ray of hope, but unless unemployment getting better, which is really the lock and in hand with consumer spend, we're not going to see an uptick in saleses. but here's who's going to win. walmart, the usual suspect, mcdonald's, the place has have the deals where people want to go and not spend too much money, but still spend some money. >> how much do retailers b

thanks for calling in, carmen. and strong opinions in e-mails as well. carol says, i don't care what letterman did or with whom. hollywood has a different set of standards than the rest of the usa anyway. and alan gives him credit. leave it to letterman to be able to pull a good joke in this serious situation. dave does what he can to make us laugh and that's all i can ask for. frank writes in says, he's feeling cynical saying, everybody knows that all men with power cheat on their wives. i'm pretty sure letterman has a few demons in his closet. your turn to weigh in. give us a call, 1-877-tell-hln, or e-mail us, cnn.com/hln. and text us, views and your name to hlntv. standard text rates apply and we'll air your responses throughout the day today. >>> two off-duty law enforcement officers say they came to the rescue of a 13-year-old georgia girl. they were at a park where a sheriff's deputy says she saw a man's feet sticking out from a stall in the women's restroom and she heard a child. >> the child sounded like he or she was in distress. i yelled, hey,

that's a tough distinction. >> also to you carmen st.nty of cases like this. investigators say 90 sex offenders have been interviewed, but they didn't say any of them had been cleared. >> well of course, nancy. i think those are the main suspects because clearly she was abducted and killed. it had signs that somebody had been casing the area, saw an opportunity, took her. she was by the abandoned house. within a three-mile radius, at least 57 registered sex offenders reside. >> back to tiffany griffith, wokv, what can you tell us about that abandoned house? what evidence, if any, has it revealed? >> well, they're definitely still testing evidence that they pulled from the house. they have wrapped up with that house at this moment, so all the fdle trucks have pulled away. right now they are scanning that evidence and will learn if there's any connection between somer's disappearance and what might have gone on there. >> i want to go to dr. michael bell. dr. bell, the palm beach county chief medical examiner. cops are still waiting on crim

driver carmen heuartas, who investigators figure was going 68 miles per hour in a 50-mile-per-hour zone, is indicted for manslaughter. she's in custody, will be arraigned next month and could not be reached for comment. mothers against drunk driving says it's bad enough that adults are driving drunk. what's worse is taking kids with them. >> people need to realize that children don't have a choice. they're doing a form of child abuse if they drive drunk with children in their car. >> reporter: perhaps equally as horrific, is what new york prosecutors say the woman put seven children through. >> heurtas repeatedly put the children in a guessing game, with her asking the children to raise their hands if they thought they would make it home without crashing. >> she said, if you were scared, to get on the highway. and she tried to do the last swerve. and pulled the wheel over to the right. that's when we went up to the thing. and we hit the one tree. >> all i remember is just that the car just going side to side to side to side. and before that, leannedris looking at me. >> reporter: before

carmen faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the manslaughter charge alone. crash here happened back on october 11th on a manhattan's west side highway killing a man and injured and six other kids. she will be arraigned next month. >>> and we have yet another missing girl case to tell you but you now. this is 9-year-old elizabeth who was last seen walking home with friends wednesday evening. crews are out today searching an area where elizabeth's cell phone signals were picked up you. this is a rural area in st. martin's community near jefferson city in central missouri. hundreds. volunteers have joined local and federal officers to aid in this effort. so many people have turned up to help, they've had to turn some away. the violent crime unit has been activated but you the sheriff said he has seen no spineign that a crime has been committed. >>> a mother who just lost her most prized possession speaking out against violence. somer thompson's mom wants justice. who can blame her? her 7-year-old daughter was abducted, killed, and dumpbed in the trash. this poo
