didn't do the things you would think they would do to try to find, locate and perhaps rescue warren weinstein devastated by this news. this comes on the heels of just a few weeks ago where they learned that mr. weinstein's body had been dug up, ransom demanded, and yet to date the u.s. authorities have been unable to identify or find his remains, and like the italian government, who was able to bring their loved one home. this is a very difficult time for the family. what they want is the truth, and what they want is to learn what happened to their beloved husband and father. >> according to u.s. officials who spoke anonymously to "the washington post", the footage of this western hostage was inconclusive, and to this day it's unclear if it was definitely mr. weinstein, but the family thinking more could have been done? >> we don't know exactly what happened. "the washington post" said these were inside sources speaking anonymously. we have asked that the president promised a detailed and thorough investigation. what we have asked is that the cia share with us their findings, what in fact did

john brown, warren weinstein's family attorney. tein family is devastated by this news. warren weinstein was a true american hero. he was in pakistan on a humanitarian mission, there to help those who needed help. he was captured by al qaeda in august of 2011, was kept by them for over three years and in january of this year was killed in an errant u.s. air strike. after that his grave was dug up, his body was robbed, held for ransom by members of al qaeda. and to this day they have no idea where his remains are. so the family has been through a lot. today's news in the "washington post" is another kind of kick in the gut by them, that the evidence was that perhaps they did identify someone that could have been him and if that information had been known to the family then perhaps they could have found him and rescued him. so it's a real lost opportunity and they are devastated by the news. >> now, officials say, you know, to be cautious here because it's imagery that was analyzed and might have been a westerner, no indication that t

warren weinstein was a great american. he was captured by al qaeda in august of 2011. held for over three years and then in january of this year he was killed by a u.s. air strike. at that time al qaeda dug up his body, desecrated his remains. we've been unable to get them back and so this report by the washington post was kind of another punch in the gutt by this family and it is very difficult to take. >> difficult, for sure. president obama has said that he ordered his national security team shortly after mr. weinstein's capture to, quote, do everything possible to find him and to bring him home. do you think the u.s. government lived up to that promise? >> you know, if you believe this report, i think that it places it in doubt. according to the washington post, which has pieces of an inspector general report, american counter terrorism forces had identified an individual, perhaps a western hostage, and yet for some unnoechb reason did not continue to follow up, did not continue to seek him out much less take efforts to try to rescue him. so it's very difficult for

it may have been warren weinstein. he was killed this year in a cia strike at an al qaeda compound.ery showing an apparent hostage was collected as long as a year before he was killed. >> a statement by his widow is wrenching. >>> specimens might have been mislabeled and improperly stored and shipped. the samps of plague contained a weaker version. >>> a new york city prosecutor pledging millions of dollars to test rape kits. a combined $79 million will be used to reduce the backlog of untested dna evidence kits. approximately 70,000 will be tested in 27 states. the cost of testing them can run from 800 to $1,000 each. >>> a british jet caught fire on a las vegas runway. the fire involved an uncontained engine failure. parts of the engine exploded on to the runway. it's the first such failure of that type of engine since it was introduced in 1995. all 170 passengers and crew were safely evacuated. >>> you may have been watching tv last night. that season-opening win probably never tasted so sweet for tom brady and the new england patriots. the super bowl champions beat pittsburgh, 2
