and they knew immediately this was a dead end. >> as soon as i saw richard mitchell, i knew he was not guy. he had a full beard. and the suspect we're looking for was clean shaven. >> furthermore, mitchell's palm prints didn't match the print from the crime scene. he also had an alibi. >> as it turned out, he was not our man. >> back at the crime scene, investigators found another clue. blood on the light switch in the victim's living room was not the victim's blood. presumably, it belonged to the killer. >> he could have cut his hand on the door when it broke the glass to reach in to unlock the door to get into the house. >> a sample of the blood was sent to the fbi's forensic lab which confirmed it didn't belong to the victim's son charles or any of the other suspects in the case. >> certainly is a frustrating situation when you know you have good evidence, and you just can't match it up. >> it was very frustrating. you have a lot of anger. you have so many questions. >> despite his denials, suspicions remained that charles holden still might have had something to do with his mother'

mitchell, what do you think? >> i don't think it would have, richard. i think that unless you actually made the turn -- if you entered it, i don't think so. i think if you made the turn, obviously, then yes. >> so in that last communication, there was no turn had been made yet, correct? >> reporter: that's what the information we're getting that yes, there had not been a turn as yet. a lot of this has to do with the acars and what information they got and how it's being interpreted. but that seems to be the way it's going now. >> so -- because the last acars did not -- >> 1:07. last acars is at 1:07. the good night is at 1:19. i'm sort of hedging that if the nbc report is correct and that was a programmed change, how else is the ground going to know? how else would anybody know that it was done 12 minutes earlier other than if the plane had reported hey, somebody has changed the flight management system. somebody has input something. because we know from the radar operators that the actual turn didn't come until after 1:19. >> right. again, a lot of que

andrea mitchell, nbc news, washington. >>> this is richard angle in crimea where today they welcomed their new patron, russia. ♪ >> reporter: those old enough to remember the soviet union celebrated the reunion with moscow. but the party here was decidedly one-sided. riot police out in force to make sure anyone opposed to moscow remained silent. there's no doubt the majority of people here are happy to join with putin's russia. but for the minority that doesn't want to, life just got a lot harder and maybe dangerous. hello. >> hello. >> nice to meet you. >> reporter: at a theater popular with activists, the director galina told us pro-russian thugs threw stun grenades into the crowded theater three times. "they were attacking intellectuals, it's madness. many of my friends want to leave." 25-year-old diliara is packing tonight. three small suitcases. that's all she can carry with her. you're just going to close the door, lock it behind you, and go? >> yes. >> reporter: she's worried crimea under russia is becoming a police state. >> i'm not here to live like this. >> reporter: she fe

richard? >> got a question for you, mitchell. and martin. in that theory, does the fire do serious damage to the structure of the aircraft? because if the smoke and fumes are so bad, surely there could be structural -- the structural integrity of the plane could be at risk and the comms box, which we can you earlier in the week, wouldn't they be affected, too? >> yeah, of course. if you're talking about a fire like that, structural damage is going to factor into this equation. >> reporter: you want a fire that knocks out the crew, knocks out apparently the transponder and the acars system but stops short of destroying the aircraft or the autopilot. so you have to have the perfect fire. >> fascinating. thank you. i want to get back now to my panel. this one is for you, tim tilmon from derek. he says do pilots know their flight schedule out a month or it is a routine schedule for the pilots? >> every airline is a little different, but most airlines give you a bid sheet a month in advance, and you just use your seniority to achieve a line of fl

mitchell. >>> so richard, you saw them.usly the scenario here fire mechanical malfunction is hard to understand because it was something so catastrophic the plane would have gone down right away. they would have indicated they would have found the plane. yet it flies on for hours. all that being said any way this lithium-ion thing. >> faa did a report into battery incidents of boarding of the aircraft, fire, smouldering of lithium ion from 1991 to pretty much now. it's a well-known risk that has been there. i'm going to go back. the malaysian airlines chief exec when asked about this specifically said they knew they were there, they'd been checked and rechecked and they'd been packed according to iko rules. since we don't have a warning, we don't have an acars warning, we don't have a verbal warning, we have to sort of -- >> discount this one. >> -- we have to put it as one of the less probable. >> but myles as malaysian airlines defending its use of the lithium ion batteries on board. quoted they're not regarded as dangero

mitchell casavo. and miles o'brien and richard quest. question that miles brought up two nights ago if one engine konked out before the other. can you show us how that would impact the plane's heading? >> reporter: right. miles and i actually spoke on the telephone and sort of worked this through. so mitchell casado will shut down one engine. >> this is the fuel control for the engines. left engine, right engine. pull the fuel control lever cutoff. you can see that we have the engine rolling back the edt the temperature of the air coming out the back of the engine is cooling off, decreasing, the speed of the engine is decreasing. engine left shutdown here. and our maximum flight level is 280. and we can go between 270 and 330 knots with just one engine. >> this left engine shut down, this engine still operating as it should, right? >> yes. >> what we note is the attitude of the aircraft itself and we're maintaining an altitude set it at 10,000 feet. we're still at 10,000 feet. i'm looking at a cruising speed of 285 knots. so the aircraft

mitchell casada. aviation analyst miles o'brien and richard quest.n, the map that the australians released last night says that the plane would have been traveling 400 knot as hour to get to the new search area. what does that tell us if anything about the altitude the plane was flying? >> reporter: well, we're still not clear on that particular one. for instance, 400 knots sounds like a lot of speed. but it's actually not as fast as what this aircraft would typically fly when it was cruising at 35,000 feet. for instance, right now we're doing 478 knots. so it was going slower than it actually would normally do. and the question is, where was it in altitude? we know that after it turned it dropped off of radar and the transponder disappeared thought went down we believe to around 12,000 feet. so mitchell, i put it to you. if you're doing 400 knots at 1200 feet, naturally that is going to be a lot different and a lot more fuel burned than if you're up at altitude. >> yeah. you're going to increase your fuel burn by anywhere between 40 and 50% at that

richard quest, christine dennison, michael kay all join me now. we were talking about -- and in the flight simulator with martin savidge and mitchell about this landhy aren't they searching over land, why aren't people looking at land now? which a conversation among you guys, you said that's feasible, they should be looking over land. >> i think there's a number of different scenarios associated with the land thing that we have to look at. for example, was the crew under duress or was it an emergency? i think you can -- it's unlikely it was an emergency because we'd have heard a mayday call, we'd have had 7700 put on the tran spoder. let's assume it was under duress. if it was under duress was the landing strip within malaysian air space or external to malaysian air space? if external that means it would have had to have crossed a sovereign boundary. we know in the post- 9/11 order in the world there, sovereign territories are very sensitive to traces coming across a sovereign boundary that aren't part of routine airways, corridor traffic, with no squall com. that alerts the therts to get the qra, quick action alert, to interrogate. that would be
