nancy here? >> reporter: nancy lived an played like a classic trust fund kid. but with a catch that will soon become significant. in truth, the heiress lived on a budget. the money was controlled tightly? >> the interesting thing about when she's referred to as a socialite, someone who is very wealthy, it's much more complicated than that. the money was controlled by a law firm in aspen and it was basically dolled out as an allowance. >> reporter: that allowance reportedly $7,000 a month. to pay for some of her jet-setting holidays, nancy decided to rent out her spacious, multi-million dollar mountain home. >> she needed the money. >> reporter: which is how she met trey styler and his wife nancy. they were moving to down from denver and happy to rent nancy's house while she wintered in australia. it was classic nancy pfister. unpredictable, spur of the moment. yet there were those that worried one day unanimous sip's carefree lifestyle would get her into trouble. all those men and her busy love life. could one of them be a killer? >> sometimes these weren't peo

during the time that nancy and i were in liberia, nancy was laying in bed struggling with ebola. one of the things we did was read scripture, one particular case, or one particular time i read the entire letter of flip begans. i had been studying and been thinking about it, and it's a story of paul's letter to a church. he was in prison, and people were saying that paul's mission had failed and that things were going to stop. and as i read that letter and read it to nancy, it became kind of a marker for our journey in that people were thinking, well, this is the end. the mission has failed. and yet as i read the letter, it's a joyful and celebration of paul's ministry. one of the things that he said, of many verses that are in any begans. he said what happened to me or to us has served to advance the gospel. he goes on from there to explain and talk about that. that's what happened. we didn't ask for this assignment. we didn't choose it. it was given to us and so we recognize and saw god in it and saw how god was moving and has given us this wonderful platform. it's been a challe

and nancy working with them, but also in caring for nancy and also for dr. brantley when he was there. we're a team. we're a family. we're colleagues, and it's the way that the body of christ works together and loves each other and reaches out to the world and so that was on display on an hourly basis and continues even today in liberia and other places. and i would also like to highlight or mention there continues to be a need for concern on the part of people for west africa. there continues to be a need for action to help in this crisis. it's still growing. it's still threatening, and there needs to be people who will be able to care for those who are dying. there will be those who need to express concern and provide for containing the spread of this disease, and it is a global threat, and this is what -- response -- this response is what we do as christians. that's what we have been given to do. our lord and saviour went about doing good and therefore we also should go about doing good and this is how we demonstrate the love of god to the world, and so w

>>>bovin moving account from nancy writebol.eria has been hit hard with people under quarantine and food and medical supplies scarce. a video shot by roaders shows how angry and desperate people have become. look at this video. the man in the red shirt is carrying a stick. he tested positive for ebola and left from a quarantine center and went to a market looking for food. watch what happens next as ha k masked medical workers try to get him. crowds are obviously very angry at him. medical workers surround him and talk him back into coming and put him forcibly into an ambulance that took him back into the quarantine zone. there was a struggle here. obviously, this is a great danger to the medical workers because any kind of contact with fluids from the person who is positive can be a huge risk and end up killing some of those medical workers. it happened in liberia's capitol where a third american contracted ebola. today we learned his name. he's an american doctor named rick sacra. his wife is very kconcerned and praying with f

. >> one of the pair of authors they worked with were nancy gibbs and michael duffy on the presidents club, a book that are "q&a" program covered. what was the process working on the presidents club with those two? >> i wish that i could say that i came up with that idea because it was such a brilliant idea that i didn't -- i mean, they had been working on that for quite some time, nancy and michael, and the idea came to them after they had written a very great book on billy graham and they realized the degree to which the president talked to the ex-president and how much that clubs help to shaped the presidency and out is what gave them ideas to explore this in a thorough way. and so it was a very modern idea because obviously we had to get to the 20 century to get to longevity. for practical reasons for this to be possible. but what they found is that it was actually made stronger and sometimes challenged by people in the cypress club. and they had relationships with each other going towards the past and the future. so it did challenge was how to structure the book. if you look at h

rich was friends both with nancy and her husband. then sheriff jim dunning. >> i think it's a relief for the community to know for sure they have a person they think did all three crimes. >> reporter: but rich says there is relief too that finally a cloud that has hung over the dunning family, the adult children, liz and chris, has been lifted. for years, some in the community viewed the former sheriff as a possible suspect. he eventually left alexandria and died two years ago. >> it was a burden. i mean, it was a burden knowing there were people in the community who believed or thought that jimmie have been involved. >> reporter: nancy dunning's close friends and former colleagues at the real estate company where she was a star say they too are encouraged to learn of charges after such a long wait. >> there is some relief. there is some, you know, possible closure. i mean, it's going to be a long trial, i think. and you know, to get to the end. so i do hope that they have found the right person, you know, so that we don't all have t

would annex canada and cuba and nancy will speak more to this point. madison was in no way reticent, never mind he was 5'4" and built on a narrow frame and unmarshall in his bearing. he was in no way reticent when he came to war-making. he was secretary of state in the driver's seat during the negotiations over with france, over the louisiana purchase. the constitution may not have stipulated precisely how lands might be acquired from european colonial powers. but in the face of reality, it was done. okay, madison was not outwardly heroic. no commissioned painting of him presents vigorous forward sharp eyed talent. his wife doted on him because he invited it. he thought of himself as a man of infirmities. little madison, as he was widely known and little gemmy as his detractors often called him was a small narrowly formed man, but careful examination of all he did over decades brings out abundant evidence that contradicts the standard measure of the man. madison, we have discovered, was a man for all seasons and those who knew him best knew that they g

kent bradley and nancy writebol were treated. nancy sat down for her first interview.t what point did you start to feel something? >> i had gone to the isolation unit on the 22nd of july. i went home and i called one of our doctors and said s, i'm not feeling good. i think i have malaria. on saturday, the doctors came in and said nancy, we know you don't have ebola but we'll run the test anyway. your not feeling better. you still have a fever, and we want to make sure and set everybody's mind at ease. >> until that moment had you thought it could be ebola? >> no, i didn't -- it didn't worry me at all. >> even though you were working in a unit of ebola patients? >> yeah, and i mean, even now, i look back and i don't really know how i got it. >> so they said to you know, we'll test you for ebola? >> uh-huh. so i said okay. and so they drew the blood, of course, and david came home pretty quickly and he came into the room and said nancy, i need to tell you some things. i said okay. and he said kent has ebola, and i just -- i was just sick. >> dr. brantly. >> yeah, when da
