robert card, who is still on the run. joining me right now is former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor, ted williams. very much for being here this morning. assess the situation for us. what's most important in terms of this search for mr. card? >> the sad, unfortunate circumstances here, maria, is that robert card, a person of interest, is not in custody and i think at this stage, clearly no one knows where he is. but if we should step back, it was around 7:00 last night in lewiston, maine, that robert card, an army reserveist, a firearms instructor, allegedly went into a bar and grill, shot up the bar and grill, and then went into a bowling alley and also shot up a bowling alley and as a result of that, doing off on the run. he's been on the run. they found a car associated to him in lisbon, maine and the manhunt has been on since then. we do know that he lived in baldwin, maine and they've also now put a baldwin man under a shelter in place. there's also a shelter in place lewiston, maine as well as auburn, maine. maria: we don't know what the motivation is here and whether or not this individual

william hearst’s publications. and half a century later, exactly the same figure is cited by the alleged historian robert conquest,ighties and who was not really a historian, but was simply a british intelligence officer. it is necessary to emphasize that not a single material was actually fraudulent, they were fakes, and some of the photographs that were presented were related to the famine in the volga region in 1921, also a very tragic event, but which had nothing to do with ukraine, some of the photographs in general most likely they were foreign and perhaps even some photographs... are related to the famine, but in western ukraine, that is, in territory of poland, already in 1935, the american journalist and writer louis fisher published an article refuting this company, in which he stated that walker was not known in ukraine, that all these evidence were false. allow me, as a viewer, to read exactly what louis fischer wrote then , mr. walker’s photographs may well relate to the volga famine of 1920. many of them could have been taken outside the soviet union, they were taken at different times of the year, t

william hardy. they set and cannot be already. already was transferred out of the army. that left robert lee. i think you know i'm happy you are in virginia. certainly he did not want to go to georgia. that left the bar guard is the most senior commander. the problem was beauregard was on his naughty list already. these two men did not like each other and beauregard was apparently desperate to redeem himself. he wanted anything the president might be willing to give him. beauregard was willing to jump on the opportunity. beauregard would be giving commands as a new department called the department of the west which gives territory in five states in territory across the mississippi as well as tennessee. the department of the west sounds impressive. this is all of the extent of beauregard's authority except he was given permission to visit the army of tennessee and if he felt necessary to command of the time which of course he never actually did. the palmetto conference as we see began to resolve the question of what to do next. certainly one comes out of the conference , on the part of preside

roberts: there is a real groundswell of concern about this issue the likes of which i haven't seen in the 23 years i've been doing this work. prince william it is wrong that children growing up in countries vulnerable to wildlife crime are losing their birthrights in order to fuel the greed of international criminals. clinton: this is not just about elephants. it is about human beings. it is about governments trying to control their own territory, trying to keep their people safe, as well as protect their cultural and environmental heritage. narrator: wild aid, a nonprofit conservation group, is working to curb consumer demand for ivory. a number of international celebrities joined the campaign. norton: if you buy elephant ivory, you may be part of a criminal gang. a gang of ruthless killers. [gunshot] a gang of smugglers. [gunshot] and corrupt officials. and because you're paying them, that makes you the boss. when the buying stops, the killing can, too. narrator: wild aid features celebrities like chinese basketball legend yao ming to educate the chinese public about ivory. knights: well, the chinese government has been very supportive.

william hardy. fortunately, they despised each other. hood adamantly said it cannot be hardy, i won't have that. so hard he was transferred out of the army. that left robert e. lee lee said, thank you, no, i am happy here in virginia. although, i don't know how happy he was at the time either. but he did not want to go to georgia. that left really beauregard is the most senior available potential commander. the problem was that beauregard was on the naughty list from davis already. these men did not like each other at all. by 1864, beauregard was pretty desperate to redeem himself. he wanted anything the president might be willing to give him, any scrap, and beauregard was willing to jump on that opportunity. and so, it would be beauregard. beauregard would be given command of a new department called the department of the west, which encompassed territory in five states, including across the mississippi river as well as the army of tennessee. a department of the west sounds very impressive, it is a paper department. there's not much to it. it is a title, and that is about all the extent of the authority of beauregard, except he was apparently given permis

robert cardwell, train familiar with the terrain. law enforcement has their work cut out for them. let's turn now to fox news contributor ted williams, former d.c. police detective and defense attorney. ted, what do you think? law enforcement is focusing on right now since they did find his car already? is it possible maybe he switched cars and he's trying to get out of the area? >> you know, there is always that possibility, mary. and i got to tell you, what they're doing now is probably working backwards from the location of where they found that car. and liz, but there's always a positive reality that he may very well have had another car stashed to that location and drove to that location and perhaps maybe have driven away from that location. so what they're doing is they are looking at all of the video feeds in that area that led to where that call was discovered, because those video feeds will tell perhaps what help a movement this guy may have made after he left that car. >> listening made you know, also we heard earlier that perhaps law enforcement, law enforcement is talking to relatives, talking to friends, maybe trying to

williams, former d.c. police detective, defense attorney. >> you know what, ted? i know that we've talked a lot about strategy tonight as we continue our coverage here about manhunt involving robert card, who is a person of interest in the shooting of at least 22 people up in the state of maine. >> i just want to get i want to get your take on something that i think is interesting and that's this. how much drive it that happens to an individual like yourself who that you're part of a group of people out there trying really, really hard to find this guy. i'm imagining you won't you won't even want to rest. it'll be every part of you will just be focused on finding this guy. is that kind of your your sense? >> is that what happens? you know, kevin, you don't know how well and you want articulate it, what law enforcement officers go through on a daily basis, especially when it's a manhunt of this nature. law enforcement officers know that 22 souls lay off who home always seen during the day and that tonight the night that they are no longer here on this street and that there are a lot of families in the lewiston maine area suffering. and as a result of that law officers take it very

william hardy. unfortunately, hardy and hood despised each other, who had adamantly said it cannot be hardy, i won't have that. and so hardy was transferred out of the army that left potentially robert e lee lees said, thank you know, i'm happy you're in virginia, although i don't know how happy he was at the time either. but certainly he did not want to go to georgia. lee did not, and that left really beauregard as the most senior available potential commander. problem was, beauregard was on davis, his naughty list already. these two men did not like each other at all. and beauregard, by 64, was apparently pretty desperate. redeem himself. he wanted anything, anything the president might be willing to give him any scrap. and beauregard was willing, i think, to jump on that opportunity. and so it would be beauregard beauregard to be given command of a new department called the department of the west, which encompassed territory in five states, including territory across the mississippi river, as well as hood's army of tennessee. now, the department of the west sounds very impressive. it's a paper department. there's really not much to it. it's a title. and that's about all the exten
