. >> wgn's aaron mendez has tonight's top story. >> reporter: tonight, chicago police are questioning a person of interest in connection with the slayings of two officers. this is the first lead for police after the men were gunned down friday afternoon. >> we're just trying to pass out information. >> reporter: armed with flyers, they covered a 36-block radius within hours. >> we're looking at at least distributing 10,000 flyers that you see here, with information needed, and there's a $10,000 reward. >> reporter: investigators spent today scouring parolee records and running prints. neighbors reported hearing as many as five shots yesterday afternoon from the alley along 81st and south burnham, where the men were fired on. today, we learned that neither officers returned gunfire. their weapons and wallets still on them, raising the question of motive. police say officer flisk was the first on the scene, collecting evidence from a garage burglary, when he was shot in the head. stephen peters owned the garage and was gunned down in the adjacent alley. this afternoon, superintendent jo

me sigues preguntando donde esteÁ la propuesta para la inmigraciÓn, estÁ en la oficina del senador mendezien presente, eso no lo hemos visto >>> definitivamente los votantes hispanos estarÁn esperando este momento y arnoldo, cuÉntanos >>> primero quiero felicitar a todos los votantes latinos que votaron, tienen mi respeto, admiraciÓn, participaron en nÚmeros que la gente no pensaba que Íbamos a participar, pero tambiÉn los retos en una democracÍa son increibles, porque requiere que participemos que nos eduquemos y es un reto que el paÍs estÁ buscando pero desafortunadamente cada vez hay retrasos, hay grandes oportunidades esta vez, pero tambiÉn hay mucha frustraciÓn, un movimiento por un poquito, hubo unos cuantos que dijeron no deben de votar, y eso refleja la frustracio'en, yo la entiendo pero eso no va a yudar, ojal'que que el mensaje de hoy, todos tenemos un mejor entendimiento pero tambiÉn es importante entender que los temas de importancia de nosotros no son solmaente un tema, y nosotros mismos tenemos que desarrollar una agenda, partidos que nunca presentan una agenda concreta para

maria mendez, in a taped phone call, talked to him about how scared she was that he had written her about a murdered girl. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: and they pointed to the corroborating testimony from a former land lady who said guandique had scratches on his face the night chandra levy disappeared. >> there were scratches on him? >> yes there were. >> reporter: fiction said the defense. all fiction. they said the government has not brought any evidence of how chandra levy died, where or when she died. and they directed juror's attention back to gary condit, whose dna was found on chandra levy's underwear in her apartment. he does things like a guilty man. he doesn't cooperate with the police. he doesn't help when a girl he said he cares about goes missing. a married man, a powerful man, he's the one, they say, that has the motive to engineer chandra levy's disappearance. now jurors due back here at the courthouse -- courtroom 320 at 9:30 tomorrow morning. we will -- if they come up with a verdict and when they come up with a verdict, we'll bring it to you live. les

because they know what rebel mendez. redevelopment at a meeting of our schools -- that was then. we are the new caucus -- we are the new redevelopment. >> they want to use eminent domain. they are going to have a hard time. most of the property up and down third street, is still owned by african-americans. >> let's agree, the plan says we cannot use eminent domain on a personal on the well. so the question -- the answer is absolutely not. >> this is not a question where we are taking the warehousing and replacing it with the housing. we are talking about creating a new neighborhood. but we are looking to add to the neighborhood. >> the redevelopment in the district was over 30 years ago. most things have changed, and that is one of the things that has changed. as we went about doing to develop a plan, we looked at that and said there will be no limited demand and housing. i don't care where people live -- it could be in the middle of an industrial park. zero eminent domain of housing. so we were very sensitive to that. redevelopment is a great tool and it is a tool that has been

maria mendez, the present pen pal who said that ingmar guandique spoke of a dead girl, and she suspectedhat he had something to do with it. ar mando morales who was a cellmate that said that ingmar guandique confessed to him. that's what we have. no verdict yet. j.c., back to you. >> hey, bruce, it's lesli foster, i'll take it back for j.c. we know we have that verdict, but now we have an attorney debbie hines here, a former prosecutor to talk about what's likely going on behind the scenes. we know there is a verdict. we're still waiting for the verdict and we talked off camera. generally when it takes a longer time to make a decision, it seems as if there could be a conviction in the works. but this has been a case that has had lots of twists and turns, yes? >> yes, absolutely. it could go either way. generally the rule is that if it's a longer time for the verdict, we usually think it's going to be a conviction, it's usually quicker to acquit. however, not everything is game in this case. >> debbie, i know you're going to stand by, we'll be standing by as well. of course, you can conti

we have written letters and another from senator mendez and me, to push the regulators to come down harderç abusers. the attorney general in ohio one of the leading attorneys general on this issue has gone after the service of users that with lawsuits. it's clear they're finding ways to more than nickel and dime these homeowners who are about to lose their homes by charging them fees, going through temporary modification. too often forclosing when they didn't need to. >> and you and i both know that in order to save the pensions, retirements and functionalties of our financial system as it exists where we basically take the pension of requirement moneys to wall street, turn it into credit and lend it out, which is the current financing system in this country, which means if you lose the money, the government's got to bail you out. that we are due still further investigations. i was talking to james lockhart yesterday on this show. james responsible for the government interface with fannie and freddie. i said, what percentage of the debt are nonconforming, don't comply with warranties and g

. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: the thing is there's a murder of a woman, maria mendezd, that scares me very much. yes, said guandique. do you understand what i'm saying? yes. and then there is gary condit and the voice mail left after she disappeared. >> it's 6:30 and i haven't heard from you. maybe you're out of the country. any way, give me a call when you get this message. >> reporter: the phone message suggests he was mystified by her disappearance. a year later a man out hunting turtles with his dog in rock creek park finds her skeletal remains. >> i was walking my dog in the woods this morning and i came across a human skull. i don't know anything else that looks like it. >> reporter: kind of haunting to hear that dispatcher laugh about the finding of her remains. now for prosecutors, much of this case really rests on the credibility of one of guandique's former cell mates who testified that he confessed to him saying i killed that b., but i did not rape her. today another cell mate who was crammed into that cell with guandique and armando morrellez testified for

sylvia mendez, an activist. jean kennedy smith. and john sweeney, the current president emeritus of the afl-cio. congratulations to all the recipients. work well done. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." "john king usa" starts right "john king usa" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> sarah palin likes to mock what she calls the mainstream media. in interviews with "the new york times" and new york news, she inches closer tonight to a 2012 presidential run. >> if you ran for president, could you beat barack obama? >> i believe so. >> also tonight, a republican governor who, not too long ago, was near the top of any 2012 prospects list until what his staff said was a long hike in the mountains turned out to be a secret trip turned out to be a trip to see his mistress. and when a company struggles, the ceo gets the ax and the manager or the coach is usually the first to go when a sports team falters. so is it smart or foolish for the democrats to keep pelos

mendez, ho became a pen pal of guandique. she exchanged letters with him.there was a recorded phone call, this is very important, because the letter that she alleges that came from guandique to her never materialized. it doesn't exist. but there was a recorded phone conversation that the two had in which she asked guandique about this, quote, dead girl, and he never denied it. and then we had armando morales who spent time in a cell with guandique and apparently with the jurors that was the key to this case. and i sat in there and listened to this man and he was rivetting. he was believable. even though he was a thug, he had spent many years in prison, he was a enforcer for a gang in california, but the story he told seemed to ring true with these jurors. and he gave details that we had never heard before, details that seemed to play into the scenario of what happened to chandra levy. >> without any direct evidence of the case, any chance of an appeal at some point or that that could weigh heavily in the favor of an appeal? >> i think appeals are pretty sta

we have senator john cornyn and senator rudman -- robert mendez. on october 6, margaret hamburg, commissioner of the fda, and we have brian moynihan, president and ceo of bank of america. for our last question -- one of our audience members asked, once you fix the world under issue, can you fix the times? >> i was thinking maybe a week off or something. [laughter] you know, i keep saying our goals for the world food program -- our goal is to put the world food program out of business. it should be the goal of everyone running at an aid program not to perpetuate ourselves. i am not sure it will happen in the next 24 months or so or the next few years, but that is the goal in game 4 and i will give it my all as long as i can. [applause] >> thank you for being with us today. thank you for coming. i would like to thank the national press club staff for organizing today's event. for more information about joining the press club, please visit our website www.press.org. we are returned. thank you.

. >> haiti and last, frank, captain mendez said and i co-authored a piece saying the national weathertropical storm events but the caribbean with a reasonable odds at lease one would slam haiti. didn't we need to immediately come as a matter of urgency for the survival of the people of port-au-prince, build some structures that could withstand storm and flood conditions to which the people living in tents could flee? adults in early winning a radar system which we didn't have four distinct local weather detection, build an emergency alert system with warning and training of the populace, so they knew where to run. and now, hurricanes hit haiti and none of that is in place. people are literally holding little pieces of plastic over their head while the rain and wind are pouring down upon them. and we saw similarly with cholera, it's axiomatic as he going to a farmer globalized, which is good news, humanitarian and peacekeeping response to the world, that the humanitarian responders and peacekeepers themselves can become vehicles for microbial hitchhikers from all over the world. if you
