They couldnt see. >> grace davies heard a second man enter her home. >> the perpetrators were screaming, wheres the silver? wheres the gold? >> ed davies was an amateur coin collector. but he had never told his wife about the trove of precious metals he had hidden in their home. now he refused to tell the robbers. >> and then one of the perpetrators put a navy to her neck and said if you dont tell us where the gold, is well kill her. so mr. davies told them where the silver was and the gold. >> ...

He works for a company that makes one of the components that emit signals in flight data recorders. we do know the planes tran transponder was shut off. >> as far as the ping, it triggers once it is submerged in water. >> how close do search crews need to get to the plane to pick up a signal from it. >> depending on a few factors. traffic in the area, algae in the water, et cetera. they are certified to two nautical miles. >> given the enormous depth of the indian ocean, i think would they have ...

Pain he is going through. we must remember the family members here. what he would tell his son. next. plus -- >> think about like olympic rings. you have a circle and then another circle. when all three of those, five of those, three come together, that one little cross is where the plane would be. just like your car. >> how crews are using satellite information and the jets final ping to pimt its last location. im beth... and im michelle. and we own the paper cottage. its a stationery and gifts...

>> mr. scofield, stand by. our meteorologist, chad myers, has been reporting on this, also, the tracking of the plane, satellite, radar and all that. do you have any questions for him? >> chuck, i do. this is not going to show up on some random fish-finder, from some bertram going across fishing in the area. who has a receiver to hear these pings? >> agencies such as the navy, coast guard, et cetera, typically, can pick up on the signal, be done on the surface or by a toe da ray at a certain dep...

Miles. so you just have to hope they get close enough to where the rays they toud to pick up the signal can find it. >> is there anyway to manually turn off the signal thats being emitted from those flight rec d recorders. >> this is not transmitting a signal. its an audible signal heard by listening equipment other than disassembling the part, be very difficult to manually disable this product. >> theres a lot of ships out on the ocean searching for this, helicopters in the sky, planes looking ...

Are parts of the indian ocean that go deeper than that. are there blind spots in effect in the deep water? >> i cant comment on the blind spots necessarily, but it has been tested successfully to the 20,000 -- to the depth of 20,000 feet. so thats what its certified to. but as far as the ocean floor, you really cant comment on that necessarily. >> okay. you did mention earlier i want to remind our viewers on land, that ping from the flight data recorders does not go off. it only goes off when it...
