i spoke with police detective mike brooks who was in canton today. ad daylight outside your home. do authorities have any idea who might have done this? >> well, anderson, they're not saying right now, but they -- i think they've kind of narrowed their focus now. and i was told by law enforcement officials today that they are looking to add a number of people. now, i just spoke with vernon keenan who is the director of the georgia bureau of investigation just moments ago. he said they're not going to announce any arrests, but he didn't say that they weren't close. i think as a former investigator it is not a matter of if but a matter of when. >> there are several registered sex offenders who live in her apartment complex or live nearby. have they been ruled out as suspects? >> there's one who lives in the apartment directly above her. a registered sex offender here in the state of georgia. when i asked director keenan yesterday about him, if he'd been cleared, he says, i don't want to get into that. but they have not ruled anyone out as of right now.

i want to bring in hln's law enforcement analyst mike brooks.s a great analogy. if i'm a cop and i see you swerving, what's the first thing i'm going to think? a possible dui. you pull that person over and what do they have? they had their phone in their lap and -- >> exactly because it takes away from your full time and attention from driving, what you're supposed to be doing when you're behind the wheel. >> i know this is something that the ntsb said would be great if people did this nationwide. but you were a cop for many, many years. >> sure. >> how do you enforce this? >> in the district of columbia, for example, you can't text, you can't drive with a phone up to your ear. if i pull up next to you and i see you with that, i'm putting the red lights over and pulling you over. now, are you going to write a ticket? it's up to the discretion of the officer. but i tell you, if someone is involved in an accident and the first thing i ask, it's called the new dui, have you been drinking? were you on the phone at the time of the accident? these are

hln analyst mike brooks says more details of what happened that day still need to come out. >> as a law enforcement officer, i want to know who were the ones that were delivering the blows, serious blows. was there one person who delivered the most blows that may have caused his death? we don't know. were there other people who might not have been involved at all? >> so far, no one has been charged in robert champion's death. >>> bank of america has agreed to pay a $335 million settlement in a case of alleged discrimination against borrowers. the suit charged that countrywide financial bought by bark of america back in 2008 steered minorities toward high-risk subprime mortgages for 2004 to 2008 even if they qualified for less risky prime loans. justice department says the settlement will go to borrowers identified in the investigation. >>> walmart has recalled cans of baby formula after a 10-day old boy in missouri died from a rare bacterial infection. the company that makes enfamil says it is retesting the batch of formula, the water used to make it and other factors. walmart customers

and, john, you had in your article the possibility of republican freshman mo brooks or mike kelly ofse rambunctious members of speaker boehner's conference try and cause a little trouble for the speaker this morning at 10:00 a.m.? >> i know there are 530 members of congress hoping that that handful of other guys doesn't do that. they would like to go home. they understand that the game is over, so to speak. even if they object today, there will be a vote next week. i think some folks in the republican conference would like that vote. they like to put their colleagues on record. they feel that this was a bad deal that got jammed down their throats. but interestingly, i heard last night from congressman tim huelskamp's office, a republican from kansas, this was put on the floor so fast, there wasn't time for him to get back to washington from his kansas district to object, if he wanted to. i think that was part of the plan here, to limit the number of people who would be willing to catch a red eye or could even catch a red eye to get back. >> let's talk about that silencing of the ramb

mike papantonio, host of "the ring of fire" radio show, and e.j. dionne, senior fellow at the brookingstion and "washington post" columnist. well, mike, let's start with you on this. i don't know anybody that hunts with an ar-15. what do you make of this story? is she lying? >> we're going to hear her good-bye speech at the end of iowa, ed. look, there's a different kind of excitement. there's carnival excitement, sideshow excitement that seems to follow michele bachmann. then there's the genuine kind of excitement that follows a candidate who really has hope and possibility of being a president of the united states. she's over. it's over for this woman. we're going to hear good-bye speech after iowa. i don't care how hard she dtrie. she just can't come back. it's getting ridiculous by the day. >> erin, bachmann has visited, worked the land. she visited every county in iowa. she talks about her iowa roots. i don't know if we've seen a bigger flame-out in the primary after someone won the straw poll. is this almost embarrassing in your opinion? >> a little bit. her support is collapsing.
