>> thanks, shep. we're just seeing a lot more sicker moms. being admitted to the intensive care units they're having longer admissions in the hospital. they're developing respiratory failure, being placed on a mechanical ventilator. and then we're also having to deliver them prematurely so they themselves are dealing with complications but then we have to deliver their baby to improve their health and that results in the baby having to go to their own intensive care unit. >> doctor, it took the cdc eight months to strongly recommend the vaccine for pregnant women before then they said it was just okay to get the shot. what delay, did it have an impact on low vaccination rates? >> i think at the beginning it may have initially, but i think they were also trying to do their due diligence. just like stephanie mentioned, this feels different but now women can be reassured that there's over nine months of data that really shows this vaccine to be safe and thousands of women with pregnancies. so although i can understand if anything this should rea

>> that's right, shep.s is the area where investigators made the discovery over the weekend it is not easy to get to, and it's pretty far from the nearest roadway, but they spent a full day here after the human remains were discovered now known to be that of gabby petito processing the scene for evidence everywhere you look in this small area of the spread creek dispersed camp area you can see orange spray paint markers to be areas of significance that were documented by investigators, placed trees and rocks and in some cases numbered. in the same vicinity some people have noticed a rock cross in the sands along the banks of a stream nearby. it's unclear who put it there or when it was created. earlier today a preliminary autopsy took place at the teton county coroner's office. several vehicles were seen leaving that facility including a large law enforcement utility truck. outside a member of the coroner's office could be seen talking to someone and hours later it was announced the remains were that of gab

>> reporter: hey there, good evening, shep. the street outside the laundrie family home still locked down at this point, still considered by north port police a crime scene. it's obviously been a very busy day here you've outlined some of it let's walk through it right now. first of all, it started around 10:00 this morning as the agents were rushing in with weapons drawn. they immediately pulled brian laundrie's parents from the housekeeping them in an unmarked van about an hour in the front yard before allowing them inside of the agents spending more than five hours searching inside and outside of the home. the search warrant indicating that they were looking for computers, software, hardware, including external hard drives along with e-mails, text messages and in and out browsing histories, items that could be potential and i'm quoting here from that warrant evidence a felony had been committed. a silver mustang that brian drove was towed away agents also removed several boxes of evidence from the home here behind me more on

>> reporter: shep, both gabby's family and north port police have reached a new level of frustration in this case with continued silence from both brian and the laundrie family. they live in the home behind me. it's been pretty quiet most of the day. it's unclear if they're even in the house right now. this morning, gabby's father made another public plea for help alongside the chief of police. >> i'm asking for help, everyone at home. i'm asking for help from the parents of brian, and i'm asking for help of the family members and friends of the laundrie family as well there's nothing else that matters to me now. this, this girl right here, this is what matters. that is it. >> reporter: the police chief answered a few questions about the investigation, including the search for gabby in wyoming. her stepfather is there now and was seen putting up flyers with her picture around the town of jackson hole. >> something in our gut says we need somebody here we'll go wherever it takes to find her. >> reporter: but as for any organized search by police, the police chief says law enforcement

hi there, shep y yes, it's the wind it's fuel for the fire it's low humidity. they're in extreme drought, excessive heat heat warning and heat wave after heat wave. we'll continue to see that this fire season is getting longer typically, it starts in july, ends in december now it's stretching to november, adding to the problem. we're in a red flag warning, redding all the way to osemite and reno we're seeing so low humidities, looking at zero percent in some of these timbers and wind gusts up to 35 miles an hour that are fanning these flames we are burning millions and millions of acres. we are burning downtowns this is a terrible situation that seems to be the norm. last year was a record-setting year it looks like we'll be on pace to that. we're in the third active fire season we still have a few months to go before we see the end of this. for the 2021 fire season, 1.7 million acres burn ed so far. as i mentioned, it's the third active wildfire season we'll see more the combination of really low hu humidity, high heat, this is kind of a low-grade explanation.

so, again, shep, you're right. a lot of activity late this afternoon of the search has just wrapped up here at the carlton reserve. no word if they will be back in the morning. >> surveillance purposes, jay. surveillance they didn't do on brian laundrie collin morikawa, frank is here, former fbi assistant director for counterintelligence, held senior fbi leadership positions across the country frank, this federal arrest warrant for unauthorized use of a credit card, that may not sound like a big deal but the effect is. anybody who may be harboring him or helping him is now in legal trouble themselves >> that's right, shepard that may include brian laundrie's parents who may not be accessories after the fact or involved in harboring, if they know where he is and despite what brian laundrie's attorney says that this indictment today is not related to gabby's demise, here's why i think he is wrong it says unauthorized use of a credit card. if it's her credit card, that means authorities are convinced that gabby was un

how does sentencing for something like this typically play out >> shep, it's hard to say because you don't see cases like this one very often. i would say if this were the only case, he would be looking at enough time to probably keep him behind bars for the rest of his life you have to remember, there are two more cases coming after this one. another federal suit and a state court suit in illinois when you combine those three, the likelihood of him seeing daylight again, almost non-existent. >> what about an appeal? does he have grounds is there a case. >> the rule is, when the feds come after you, they've pretty much already got you just watching the way this trial was handled, i think it's locked up pretty tight. even if it wasn't, you can dodge one silver bullet. nobody dodges three. yongs an appeal is likely. if one did succeed, they've got two more shots. >> r. kelly guilty on all counts david henderson, thank you. >>> minutes before the start of a san diego padres game, a tragedy at the ball park a mother and her 2-year-old killed when they fell from an upper deck of the stadi
