here's what i think about ellis. ellis is a wonderful place. it is also a relatively healthy place.he young lady, sarah who wrote from colby hands is, if we had done the research in colby hands is it would be much more bleak but they are both on this continuum as i was talking about earlier on so when you go from the health this small town to the one that is finished, and i think we use the research in ellison to speak to this and the passage you quote speak to that wider issue, where we do believe that in the current socioeconomic contest, where opportunities have shrunk, where there just isn't a safety net for those who aren't going off to college, there is a the fae tibbles hdnet. think about when you were young and what opportunities there were for you when you graduated high school. they are very, very different now and they require different skills and they require that people be prepared for them, so our point was that if you are going to disproportionately allocate your resources, your precious resources in a town towards the kids were going to go and not come back, then bas

ellis is on the robust side of things. one or two things happen and you slide inexorably toward the of the side. there are thousands of towns along. this isn't just a front your issue. this isn't just a boom and bust cycle that happens rapidly, springs up from the earth and then disappears five years later. this has taken decades to have been. and if we don't start thinking about it now in ten or 15 years of time there will be many more counts toward the shorter end of things. so with that thank you for your incredibly rapt attention. thank you for not throwing things at me yet.

to ellie jostad, our chief editorial producer, what can you tell me about reports of insiders with access that's tim miller. he's the founder of texas equusearch. he is saying that after being with misty croslin during that polygraph that he set up, after that layered voice analysis, he says that she keeps insisting that haleigh is alive, which makes him think that haleigh is actually dead and they're not going to find her. >> to marlaina schiavo, when she says that on the lie detector, that the child is alive, was that proven to be a lie? >> according to tim and his polygrapher, yes. i mean, they said that it was full of deceit, all of the answers that she was giving. but at the same time, nancy, we have to keep in mind that as much as tim miller doesn't have any evidence that she's still alive, he hasn't really given us much evidence that she is dead. >> absolutely correct. and that is the point made by grandmother teresa neves. i want to go to ron shindell, former nypd deputy inspector. what, if anything, can police do now? they seem to be at a dead end. >> nancy, they have to keep goi

ellie jostad, isn't it true that the cops have pinged her cell phone and while she told them she was in a warehouse or she was in a car, in a van, and transferred from vehicle to vehicle in various parking lots she was in a hotel shacked up with her lover the whole time? >> right. well, police say that this alleged lover, jasmin osmanovic, told them that not only did he never tie her up he said she willingly participated in any of the sexual activity. he says he left her alone in the vehicle with the car keys, he left her alone in the room. he said one time she even left on her own to go buy beer. now, there's hotel employees that corroborate that she was there by herself a lot of the time, she seemed calm, she didn't seem like she was there under duress. >> so ray, under your theory, the stockholm defense, where kidnap victims begin to identify with the kidnapper, she felt she had to go to the quick trip and get a six-pack, right? >> her testimony may be that he he threatened her that if she didn't do that he would kill her and her children. listen, there's no insanity defense here.
