want to go back to miguel marquez. so we're getting bits and pieces now, a clearer sense from john miller's reporting, it does seem like there was a connection between this alleged shooter and the people found in that burning house. now the question is, was he ending up at santa monica college just as where he happened to be, being chased by police, or at this point i guess we don't know, miguel. >> reporter: well, we don't. a lot of people go to this school. it's a very, very big school. it's only a two year university but over 30,000 students go to this school. santa monica is widespread, the area where all of this happened is fairly compact. clearly, he seemed to be going to the school, though, because he ended up in the library or perhaps knew the school, knew how sprawling and big the campus was and maybe thought that would be a good place to sort of defend himself as he was carrying out whatever it is he wanted to do. but the house and then several different incidents between the house and the school, as many as

let's get the latest from miguel marquez in hawaii. what is the latest?w there were two police officers, two law enforcement officials that went to his house last wednesday. we do know that one of them was a federal official. but it does not sound at this point that they knew that snowden was the leaker at that point. two things happening at that point. they knew snowden was missing and somebody had leaked documents because "the washington post" and the guardian had gone to the feds prior to publication of those documents speaking some response from them, so they were -- that link had not been made between snowden going missing and those documents being leaked. >> have they gone through his belongings or had he taken them out of his house? >> reporter: that is a huge question. his house was packed. his garage at least was packed to the very ceiling with boxes, say neighbors. all of that disappeared, including his girlfriend. cnn did speak to her father a short time ago who says she's holding up, says that snowden is a deep believer and a very good guy and

miguel marquez is live for us now in santa monica where we're expecting to get an update from police about the new information especially that involving the mental state of this suspect? >> reporter: yeah, it is something that we had heard all night last night, and it's good to have it confirmed i guess. although it's going to raise a lot more questions for investigators now because obviously he had an ar-15 type assault rifle. he had several handguns and it will now come to a question of how exactly did he get all of those wech weapons and the ammn that goes with it. investigators dealing with a sprawling scene across the heart of santa monica. nine different crime scenes. six or seven locations where this individual opened up and fired, some of them fatal shots. we know that warrants were either drawn up or were acted on overnight or will be today. we also know that this thing started at the house that was on fire. the individuals related to the shooter, and then it went down to santa monica college with shooting along the way. we're not entirely sure why he went to santa monica co

miguel marquez, cnn, los angeles. >>> our thanks to miguel for that report.re clearly at the outer limits. so much time has passed. how would you go about proving something like this so many years later? >> very difficult. it's not without precedent. i was looking at some of the older suspects. germany extra dieded someone who was 86 years old. germany and poland have very long, you know, statutes of limitations, but the problem, of course, i have is in proving it. where older war criminals have been convicted, they were try indeed absentia, and convicted previously where there were live witnesses around, and now just being sentenced when found. here you're putting together a kay case, and i would say an almost impossible situation. he's 94. >> when we say if they could make a case, who are we talking about? would this happen here or back somewhere in europe? >> it would be a two-part thing. europe and probably poland or germany would seek to extradite him, and then it would be sort of a mini procedure here in the united states where, you know, extradition wo
