now i m being told that is actually a plane after the strike of a balloon and then the balloon then losing shape, going down. security analyst is back with us. juliette, maybe your eyeballs are more trained than mine. we can at least see, perhaps, with a tighter view it looked like that balloon was disintegrating, as we heard an eyewitness describe earlier. can you decipher what s going on here for me? i hear your doorbell. i m sorry. so you ve got the look, the f-22 or f-15, we don t know which ones yet, we ll get a debrief from the pentagon, from areas in the carolinas, the missile would have been launched from them. so what you re seeing on the bottom side is the airplane, what we re seeing now. what you saw was the airplane, not the balloon. and i don t know if we have images of the direct hit. so the balloon is now so this is the important thing for people to remember. the balloon is balloon and cargo. we want the cargo. it s ours now. sorry, chinese, it s ours now
faces four counts of first-degree murder after his arrest in pennsylvania on friday. kohberger drove across the country in a white hyundai ilan extra from idaho and arrived in pennsylvania at his parents s house right around christmas. while law enforcement was tracking him every step of the way. there are lots of new developments in the case, including how authorities identified and arrested the suspect. let s get right to jean casarez. jean, you just spoke with the suspect s attorney. what are you learning? that s right. this is the chief public defender for monroe county, jay salabar. his client is not going to fight going back to idaho. he s not going to fight extradition. she s shocked a little bit. he s calm right now. he is very intelligent. in my hour conversation with him, that comes off. i can tell that. and he understands where we are right now. i have spoken to his family last night. i spoke to them for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. they re also very shocked
debris and everything that you re worried about, but if there is some sort of rescue mission of what may have survived this hit, because this is, as i said, important intelligence for us to know, you are not going to want airplane surveillance over it. so they might be protecting, actually, the water space and not the airspace, which is done often in these rescue missions. so we will see, but that s what i see right now. and as we continue to rerack it and play it again, sometimes you see a little flash, a reflection. so obviously perhaps several pieces involved here. aviation correspondent pete muntean back with us. also, he s a pilot and has great clarity on the kind of aircraft that may have been engaged here. pete, talk to me about the variety of aircraft or if it has been isolated and determined
it was the law enforcement from idaho and pennsylvania. i asked him if he was given his miranda rights. he said yes. he waved them. but at some point after that short duration of time, he stopped the interview and said i would like an attorney. paula. jean casarez, thank you. joining me now is cnn counterterrorism analyst and former fbi senior intelligence adviser phil mudd. let me ask you about this step the police took to surveil the suspect as he drove across the country from idaho to pennsylvania. . buy, that has to be tough. i have seen the mechanics of this. i remember we lost a guy once. first, you re on a long stretch of barren highway. you don t want a lot of cars around. an individual might say what are all these cars doing here. that is possibly an airplane
is this lost hope, is this real ism? is he setting expectations? we ve never seen anything like this, so it s hard to know where the line is. right? remember where that s coming from, from the investigation of the criminal intent. he says it will never be solved, i can understand that from a criminal point of view. even evidence of the site may not give them any clues as to whether it was criminally invoked or not. so i want to at least in my mind hope that he s not saying we ll never solve the mystery because i think we will. with the evidence we find when we find it. they ll keep going until they find something, until hell freezes over. miles, in terms of the search as we heard there, 3.5 million bucks on airplane surveillance there. why not put an aircraft carrier out there? i ve been asking this question, bill, since, you know, the beginning and did ask the chief spokesman at the pentagon. he said, well, the george washington, the aircraft
