. >> to lou palumbo, former nassau county investigator, now private investigator, lou, weigh in on whyre saying he's just a person of interest, if the dna doesn't match, and he's not named as a suspect, this could come back to haunt him if they named the wrong person to start with. >> that could harm their credibility and harm their case. why he's walking free tonight is i don't think they're comfortable in the gathering of all the information they feel they're going to need to charge him. and the fact that they put a surveillance on him, i'm listening to all this terminology, person of interest versus a suspect. part of that is now we're more politically correct in talking about a suspect, versus a person of interest. and we learned that. >> lou palumbo, i appreciate your sentiment, but you haul me in in a place car and they open up the crime lab to take my dna, stigma has attached. to ebonita summers, a very dear friend of annie le, ebonita, tell me about her. you two were both in the scholarship program with her. what kind of a person was annie? i think, somehow i have lost ebonita,

let me bring in lou palumbo. i finally feel free today to refer to this guy as a suspect. for the last week or so, you and i have been dealing with this person of interest things trying to figure out what's going on. >> based on the information that they have disclosed today about a workplace violence type scenario, apparently these two knew each other and were familiar with each other. and i think it's safe to say there was some form of a strained relationship. there was a correspondent in the form of a text message, where he arranged this meeting the morning he is accused of killing her. the thing i also found interesting, rick, is that if he did in fact arrange this meeting, we get into an issue of premeditation, versus, how would you say, a fit of passion or spontaneous rage. i think that's something that the law enforcement agency has to delve into deeply because it's going to have some relevance when it comes to trial. >> this is a woman who on sunday was due to be married. she was just a few days away from what was going to be the most important day of her life and

. >> to lou palumbo, former nassau police investigator, now private investigator. in on why this guy is walking free tonight. they're saying he's just a person of interest. if the dna doesn't match and they've named him as a suspect, when they go to trial with the actually suspect, this would come back to haunt them if they named the wrong person as the perp to start with. >> absolutely. it's going to destroy their credibility and could harm their case going forward. why he's walking free tonight is because i don't think they're comfortable in the gathering of all the information they feel they're going to need to charge him. and the fact that they put a surveillance on him, i'm listening to all this terminology, person of interest versus a suspect. i think part of that is driven by the fact that we're now a little more politically correct in how we address these people because there's a stigma when you attach to someone when you say suspect versus a person of interest. >> put palumbo up on the screen. i appreciate your sensement. but you're hauling me in in a poli

. >> lou palumbo is a retired police officer. there's a couple of things i'd like to take you through as well. sean, you stay there. we're still left with the possibility that one person killed eight people, possibly a ninth if you include the 3-year-old who's still on life support. the fact that he's a family member, does that make it more possible for him to have done that or are you still suspicious that he may have had an aycock police? >> based on the information that i've reviewed in the media about glynn county -- an official indicated these individuals were killed with a weapon, with a firearm, it makes it far more plausible that he may have done this alone. clearly -- and i go back to what we said the last time, rick, if anybody is subscribing to the notion that he was able to overcome all of these adults with a stick or a bat without anybody fighting him off, i say that's near impossible. >> let me ask you a question about the police on this case. it almost appears like police have been playing a game all along, almost

joining us is james allen fox, a retired law enforcement agent, lou palumbo.you heard that police went about tracking raymond clark, cat and mouse strategy, were you surprised? >> the first time i ever heard of this type of technique, trying to solicit a confession from a individual. i think it was a little risky. they came out and landed on their feet. frankly, there were a couple of concerns here. first, that this individual was clearly a flight risk, number one. and number two, certainly someone they should have considered might have committed suicide. i mean this is a young man that at a very young age watched his life unravel. you know, his pedigree isn't consistent with the act. i know everybody has eluded to an incident that took place back whenways in high schoo when he was in high school. i was a little surprised that they played a pretty close to the cuff on this young man. >> when the police say yesterday this is a case of workplace violence, a lot of people heard that and thought, well, okay. that sounds like it is somebody angry about, you know, s

. >> lou palumbo, good to see you. >>> let's talk about this now, caught on -- >> you're getting a gift from somebody -- >> okay. >> okay, but the money's got to go in the bank. >> these are a.c.o.r.n. employees who are caught on camera giving illegal advice to the public and they're doing so at your taxpayer expense. this is important stuff and i'm going to share it with you. >>> also we finally have a health care bill. but i promise you that i would be all over the money angle of this story and i'm going to be doing just that for you. guess how much this democratic senator, senator baucus has gotten over the years from health companies. you can't even imagine how much it is. should it matter? what do you think? >>> also, twitter is atwitter today over this story. which is why i'm doing it. a racist attack on a woman at a cracker barrel. we're looking into it for you, stay with us. >>> welcome back. let's continue this conversation. i'm rick sanchez in our new york city studios today. why did i say new york city studios today right here on columbus circle at the time-warner center. we
