inside the car, tucked between the seats was a pair of bloody gloves made by the wells lamont companyng showed that the blood on the gloves was natalie's. but to whom did the gloves belong? investigators went to matthew's workplace and found a walmart shopping bag in a trash can outside. >> there was a tab for pairs of wells lamont handymen cotton jersey gloves in there. >> to see who purchased the gloves, investigators looked for fingerprints using heated superglue, which adheres to any finger oils present. the test revealed matthew mirabal's fingerprint. >> and this stuff was bought at walmart, which is a mile from their house. i'm thinking, holy cow, this is incredible. >> it also helped establish that the gloves were brand-new and that matthew had purchased those gloves. >> there are some murder cases that it's a no-brainer. but there are other cases where you have to build this wall brick by brick. and when you get the wall built, you push it over on them. >> in the back of matthew's truck, investigators found a broken piece of wood. it looked strikingly similar to the other piec

shoe along with six different paint samples collected from the resort to forensic scientist keith lamont i received several known samples from several locations, from the vacation home and boathouse area. >> he bombarded the sample with infrared light, which identifies the chemical makeup of the sample in ways that can then be measured. >> paint's composition basically consists of a solvent, which is a liquid, a pigment, which is the color, and a binder, and the binder you can think of as glue. >> lamont found that the paint on mark unger's shoe was virtually identical to the paint on the railing and the post holding the railing. >> the question of sample from mr. unger's shoe was consistent with the known paint from the rail. >> to investigators, this pointed to only one logical conclusion. >> we believe mark kicked that railing, and the paint stuff on the should would certainly suggest that. >> but was this enough to get a conviction? sea captain: there's a narratorstorm cominhe storm narrator: that whipped through the turbine which poured... surplus energy into the plant which generou

ben ferguson and marc lamont hill join us again.vre has led great comebacks in his day. will he help thad cochran pull this out in mississippi? >> i don't know. i'd like to think voters are smarter than allowing a super bowl-winning quarterback to dictate their policy. i think if cochran wins this it will be because of the political sway of the moment. it will be because of his politics and not because of brett favre. for me this whole brett favre thing smells very funny. it smells like political opportunism. it smells like a favor. brett favre's brother scott was in 1996 sentenced for vehicular manslaughter and 14 years was suspended and he served house arrest and then he only did 67 days in jail for another crime. in 2012 haley barbour suspended -- cleared his whole record. it seems kind of interesting that after all of that suddenly brett favre's in the political business. this seems like an arrangement to me. >> ben, do you think the tea party candidate has a good shot of winning? >> i do. i think this is desperation. as one cal

joining us to talk about this is ben ferguson and mark lamont hill. good to see both of you. >> good to see you. >> good to be here. >> we have been reporting on the surge in immigrant children showing up at the u.s./mexico border. no parents. no adults. 60,000 to 80,000 unaccomanied children are projected this year to cross the u.s. border. jan brewer and others saying it's obama administration fault has caused this crisis by failing to enforce the country's immigration laws. is she right? >> no that is absurd. a piece that have that is true if we had different immigration policy we might have a different result and we need to do something on immigration. preside it's shameful for all presidents across the border and president obama included. this is present situation not happening because of president obama's immigration policy. we have seen a spike in his administration from up to 80,000 children in these facilities. bauls because of central american violence they are fleeing because people are dying there at epic levels and no matter how bad or mi

. >> the difference being, a bunch of liberals preferred lamont, but they didn't sound like this after the results came in. steve, that kind of bitterness, i didn't hear any of it privately or publicly after the election. i think there might have been real disappointment in wishing lamont were the senator, but it wasn't like this. >> look, there's two types of churches. there's the type that goes out there and tries to get converts in the church's door and the type of church that hunts heretics. and the republican party, particularly this wing of the republican party, is in the heretic hunting business. by no rational process do you get to a place where thad cochran is anything but a conservative. and so though it really is silly talk, and it's destructive for the ability of the party to be in a majority mace in the country. >> steve and mike, thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thanks a lot. >>> coming up, a unanimous decision from the united states supreme court about your privacy, the privacy of your cell phone. very, very important decision for everyone. >>> also coming up in

. >>> we're talking with ben ferguson and mark lamont hill. a little bit of an advantage there without being able to see your face. let's focus more on president obama and the scandals swirling around his administration, members of corning have to run for re-election this year, the president does not. have these scandals given obama critics a golden opportunity to score some political points back home? >> sure, no doubt about it, you're going to see a midterm about it. there's not a lot of democrats jumping out there and looking to have the president come in and get on stage with him and put their arm around him, they know he's a liability. and so when you do feel -- and people feel the country's not heading in the right direction, they can't trust the administration, theyen cat trust the irs, it's very hard to turn that around after six years when you've been in charge, that's why you see the vulnerability by many democrats right now, they're not out there talking about healthcare.gov. now a lot of democrats are in a tough spot right now. >>

mark lamont hill has more. >> he's a new director of the new york public library for research and plaquer to be as aggressive and as well positioned as possible to be a resource to anyone who has questions about the kind of country we live in and the kind of country that we can live in. and he's the great grandson of elija mohammed, founder of the nation of islam given that i was not yet 3 years old when he passeded and i would never try to claim a connection to him than my biographical connection. as it turns out, mohammed took office during the same time the shamburg featured a special from his permanent connection. malcolm x. >> my great-grandfather and malcolm x helped to create a space in this country necessary for the real change that took place in the 1960s. >> keeping history like that alive for generations to come is only one of his goals. >> what's special and perhaps unique about mohammed is that he's not only a brilliant scholar and a public intellectual, but he's also an extraordinarily gifted administrator. mohammed wants it to be a place where people not only discover the

appreciate it, rosa. >> let's bring our panel back in ben ferguson and mark lamont hill.o know what rosa said there in terms of why these children are coming into this country. but, i mean, what do you do? what is the solution here? this is one case of many. >> yeah. one, this shows total incompetence by the administration. that they don't have a policy and why you're seeing it be such a disaster. i mean, putting people on planes, then putting them on buses, then dropping them off at a bus stop was a plan. i mean, the incompetence of that plan is beyond me. the other issue is you're putting these people's lives at risk when you're keeping them in this way and it also brings up another glaring issue which this white house does not want to deal with. as long as you have an open border and you do not secure it, these people will continue to come across the border which puts their lives at risk, their children's lives at risk, but as long as they think there is a pathway to america, they are going to keep coming like this and we don't have a plan of how to deal with them so i
