dr. judy, clinical psychologist. lisa bloom, an anchor on the legal network, in session and vinnie poll tan, former prosecutor, now a host with sirius xm radio. dr. judy it all started with the menendez brothers. but didn't the scott peterson case cement the notion of handsome defendant as some sort of celebrity? >> absolutely. and he became the poster boy for horror and betrayal on many people's parts. every young woman coed who meets a guy in college like lacy did with scott, what do they want to dream that this guy they marry

is the bottom line here, dr. judy, that people have to realize that primates cannot be used as replacements for people in normal human social interaction? >> seeing the travis the chimp on that machine is what we call anthropomorphiizing, making the manl like a person. it is true. you know this, being an animal lover and having three dogs yourself, people form that's called the human/animal companion bond. it's very strong and people often research shows use the pet even more than a friend because the pets don't talk back, because they love you constantly. so this is positive for many people, for many types of pets, but other types of pets, it's not appropriate as we heard from jack. >> these are not pets. you might call them pets but they ain't pets at the end of the day. this attack happened on february 16th when sandra harold, the woman who kept the chimp as a pet, trying to, anyway, reportedly asked her friend and employee to help lure the animal back into her house. here's the victim on "oprah." >> was it your jo

dr. linda young, john, judy, we appreciate it. coming up, this tragedy. three college girls, all softball players, as innocent as go stargazing at night and they end up dead. their bodies were recovered from a jeep at the bottom of a pond. how do we make sense of this one? call in. >>> three college girls, all softball players, vanished while stargazing, north dakota. bodies have been found. all three dead inside their jeep at the bottom of april pond. yesterday before we got the news, one of the girl's fathers talked to "good morning america." >> that was something they commonly would do p weekend, evenings, depends on -- a small town. doesn't have a real active night life. but a lot of times the players would just go out and hang out by the lake and just look up at street stars and chat about the things teenagers and early 20-somethings talk about. >> how innocent is that? tragic ending. family, teammates, mourned at that pond. threw roses and softballs into the water. how did this happen? how do we come to grip was in? how does a family deal with this?
