ed shin was done.hear them say what you've been waiting so many years for them to say? it was wonderful. i just felt, like, waves and waves of just, like-- it was-- it was like the grief that i've always been holding it, but also but now i'm going to be able to breathe a full breath. keith morrison (voiceover): that breath, it's bittersweet. because through the hours of interviews and testimony, ed shin has not provided one piece of the story that would bring chris home. his body's somewhere out there down on the desert in southern california. would you want to know? would you want to find it? i think so, yeah. we didn't have any of his possessions. we have nothing. keith morrison (voiceover): after all the smith family endured, perhaps it was time for answers. keith morrison: good morning. keith morrison (voiceover): we made an arrangement to talk to ed shin in jail, now a convicted killer. what you did, you confess, is terribly cruel, allowing them to think that he was alive all that time when he was

ed was married with kids. chris was a surfer. ed was a sports memorabilia collector. and chris-- he was very casual, dressed in board shorts very often, sweatshirts, would not be the uber professional person that-- that ed actually seemed to be very often. keith morrison (voiceover): chris, with his free-spirited creativity, was the yin to ed's number-crunching yang. and yet, there were shared passions too, their christian faith, for one thing. ed seemed especially devout. both liked the finer things. and both wanted to make money. and they did. they worked a profitable little corner of the advertising game. they made and placed ads for debt consolidation, that sort of thing. the idea was to get viewers who saw the ads on tv interested enough to call an 800 number. and when they did, their information would be farmed out to companies around the country. each call was a lead. we were getting leads for people that were calling in that had either credit card debt or student loan debt, and putting them towards companies that would be able to consolidate their debts. keith

him ed.e called him diamond jim. and you know, joe will know this, but that, you know, joe was talking about the village of the community that the guys in death row had back there, which does also include some as shocking as that may be. and reason that they called ed diamond jim was actually because the man basically it into the cops helped cops find ed was nickname was diamond jim and so on death row they started calling ed jim and so every time i ever talked to terry about ed he would refer to him as diamond jim and. another thing that happened that i've always thought was just quite telling about the community that exists back there, many of you will know about this sort of, i think kind of grotesque ritual that have about last meals of people who are executed, not that they give them a meal, that they announce it. and it's become a sort of obsession with some people. and as you may know, on the internet, stories are always written about what the last meal and it's kind of this taken this

but then, along came ed o'dell.he was a consultant from nashville working on a construction project at her hospital. he set eyes on her right away. he was a southern gentleman. and he would walk in and he would say hi, and then he'd leave. and that went on for, i think, a year. and then one day, she said, i think i'm going to go out on a date with ed. dennis murphy (voiceover): and that one date turned into a whirlwind romance. within months, lynne and ed got engaged and mapped out a future together in nashville. he was very fond of the boy and looked forward to them all being a family together. lynne had been awarded custody of the child, although she ensured that christian's father, clifford, had generous visitation rights. she had agreed to everything that clifford wanted to try to play nice. she said if this is what you want, we'll do that. dennis murphy (voiceover): in august 1994, the clock was counting down to moving day. lynne was home packing when ed called from nashville about 8 o'clock on a sunday night.

in higher ed is the lion's share so it's a much bigger financial play for higher ed and because of the financial role in the way the laws are written it has a more direct relationship. looking at i believe institutions they get billions each year in federal research funds and the students collect billions in student loans. it's money that taxpayers pay. when you get to school districts the federal government can play a large role in the way ginny is talking about, guidance relating to things like student privacy, title ix, k-12 sports participation, school discipline. i think you will see a trump administration sharply change direction but ultimately it has a much bigger footprint than it does of higher ed. heather harding: i think if we are looking at common ground places it seems important to me that if there is going to be more action at the higher level we bring together the federal agencies that focus on workforce and higher ed and create better pathways. if we are concerned what parents care about, they care about safety k-12 and up and they also care about their child's ability

is it failing our special ed students? a former south bay student says he was given a high school diploma that he did not earn. he says it's now causing him to be denied the services that he needs. our investigative team recently spoke with ibrahim bari, his mother and one of his former teachers. bari is hard of hearing and tells us that he reads at a second or third grade level. he attended lee high school in san jose and was expecting to get a certificate of completion when he finished school. that means he completed his classes, but didn't meet all the requirements to graduate. however, bari was given a diploma. school officials told the family that he earned the diploma, but because of that, bari no longer qualifies for special education services. that would allow him to go to vocational school. he dreams to work with cars. i was sad because if i don't go to the adult school for them, what am i going to do for my future? the system failed him. how can an 18 year old read at a second grade level? joining me now is our i

but he saw the sex side of life by genet as a real example of why sex ed could and should be sex ed generally at this time is becoming more of a public issue because in the years during the first world war, american soldiers are found to have extraordinarily high rates of syphilis and gonorrhea. and what military doctors find is that nearly all of them were infected before the war. and with this in turn uncovers is that what had been thought to be an infertility crisis in the us was actually caused by men who had infected their unknowing wives with gonorrhea, which often causes no in women but can ravage the fallopian tubes. so the u.s. public health service becomes deeply invested in the sex ed. it sticks with the approach of encouraging abstinence primarily. and then it is very much on the more progressive end of things of wanting give actual information in in time. 15 years after it wrote that pamphlet, it it actually led to arguably what's her greatest moment in the. but her new york times obituary didn't even mention her birth control work. but it did mention that she went on trial for t

ed martin didn't just say the quiet part out loud. he's a right wing talk radio host. thought for five seconds that donald trump was going to moderate his tune, they were sorely mistaken. the thing that our exit polling and our work we're seeing in the field post the election that's important for us to remember, though, is that not all americans understood or still understand that the trump administration and all these appointees are so radical on abortion. he said he wants to leave it to the states. so what we have to do is educate the american people about ed martin and other appointees that are deeply problematic, but also explain to them why the office of management and budget has anything to do with abortion and why this is so dangerous because it's not obvious on its face. >> let's hear more of ed. this is about a rape victim who was 10 years old. >> the true bane of the pro life movement is the pro lifers who claim to believe in the sanctity of human life but only willing to vote that way with a list of exceptions. this horrendous story in ohio where a 10-year-o
