and who's going to kill her except jacob? >> the most dangerous time for a domestic abuse victim is shortly after she tries to make a clean break from her abuser, and she had just done this in a big way. she had moved away. >> investigators interrogated christina's ex-boyfriend jacob immediately after her murder. he said that on the night of the murder he was a half hour away. >> jacob produced two very credible witnesses to testify that he had been drinking with them. as a matter of fact, they were members of the university of iowa women's track team. >> but the medical examiner estimated the time of death could have been any time between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., and not all of jacob's time could be accounted for. the evidence at the crime scene indicated the perpetrator was probably someone christina knew. other evidence suggested it was someone who lived close by. for example, the killer wasn't wearing shoes. >> when you have a barefoot print in blood, it's obviously someone that's close to the scene, whether it's someone

maarse, i wish jacob could be here, because i'm sure jacob would throw me out.rence is is that i don't think things would be this way if jacob was here. hank, look, if you continue to do the same thing, your business is gonna close at some point. i know that she can afford to write checks forever because she doesn't want her husband and her name-- >> absolutely. >> okay, mrs. maarse, what i'm telling you is, if you continue to write the checks on a monthly basis, he will never have to fend for himself. he needs someone like me to hold him accountable for poor performance. i don't think you're willing to do that, and i understand why. but i have to tell you that that's not the way to run the business. so i'm gonna give you my offer. >> okay. >> okay? i'm gonna give you a check for 100,000. for this $100,000, i want 25% of the profit so that i'm incentivized to help you grow your business with you side by side. >> i was thinking more of 20%. >> hank, look, my time is valuable. i don't have time to be doing this all night. 25% is really the number that i need that

that's a really important point, colonel jacobs. there's an ongoing conflict, the cold-war light between the ukraine and russia. how do we get a clean investigation of this incident, given all of those factors. >> well, you're not going to get one. i think the cleanest information we're going to get is from the united states. we have overhead surveillance of this region and have had for quite some time. we're looking at it all the time. i can't imagine if there were a missile shot at this plane, that it was not detected by american satellites. so i think the best information we're going to get is from our own government. >> i think one of the questions, when you look at an incident like this, you are a former military pilot, is a plane, a commercial airliner taking this kind of a route over an area that is essentially, for all intents and purposes, a war zone. are there directives given to pilots who fly over areas like this or to the airline? >> it's really up to the airline where planes fly or don't fly. the ukraine government of

jacob's lawyers says one of those combinations were so intense that it tore jacob's ligament on her brain. jacobson now has a lawsuit against disney. >> i had neck and back. it was moving like this. i wasn't interested if someone hit their thumb or thinger. >> reporter: it took a one year legal battle for them to obtain these injury logs from disney. enough to fill several binders. they cannot reveal specific number of injuries. but the indiana jones ride accounts for 80 of them. >> people have had disk and back problems. >> it appears the indiana jones attraction was rushed into operation before all testing was complete. >> reporter: disney calls the rushed into operation statement false. but says that injury continued over the years that the ride was open. and the number of injuries went down. >> from 95 they're up here. 96 they're down here. 97 they're down here. 98 they're down here. so what happens? they're making changes to the rides. adding seat belts so people can secure themselves. >> reporter: riders must assume some level of risk, says disney. >> when the public doesn't know th

back with me now are cornell jack jacobs and greg fife. joining us is nina krscheva, great-grand daughter of niki nikitakruschev. who would benefit from shooting this plane down? >> i can imagine only the separatists might think they benefit from that plane they shot down. because basically none of them are well military trained or not necessarily very disciplined people. for them it could be a bragging right that they were able to use this big missile. but i do believe when they finally realize they shot down not a military plane as they probably thought they were shooting at but a commercial plane of a foreign country with many foreigners on board, people not involved, i'm sure even they got chills down their spine. i don't see anybody else who would benefit from a horrible -- >> so is are you suggesting that maybe this was a mistake? >> well, it's not a mistake. somebody shot that plane. >> i mean in terms of a mistake that they didn't think it was a commercial -- >> i don't think they knew. it was one of those fogs of war. they have be

. >> jacob, how employees work, how managers lead and how workplaces are structured, changing everythingdo you think this is coming from employees and employee unhappiness or is it coming from the other end and managers are looking and seeing decreased productivity? >> i think it's coming from a couple of different areas. i think you definitely see employees that are disengaged. numbers currently show that 13% of employees are only engaged at work which means that we have the vast number of employees that are basically zombies in the workplace. like the living dead, you're living it. managers have a very difficult time managing people. they see, trying to figure out the best way to encourage and motivate employees. and then you see organizations as a whole, microsoft just recently nowed they're going -- announced they're going to lay off 18,000 employees over the next year or so. how do we stay agile and adaptive and do it in an effective way? it's coming from all three levels of the company. >> nikil, can that actually be unproductive? >> yeah, you know, it's an interesting question. i
