what was in there? >> well, we haven't actually been able to go in and do a thorough search at this point. we still believe that it's possibly boobytraps, maybe exclusives. because his mentality and we want to make sure it's safe to enter. our bomb dispose's unit will slowly take their time to go in and clear the bunker before we'll actually go in to do a good search. >> are you aware of any exits built into this bunker? >> from what i understand, he had a main entrance and it appears to be a, some type of escape or back door. >> can you maybe talk about maybe the dimensions of it? how large is this thing? how deep does it run? >> i'm told it's about 20 feet in length and possibly three tiered. looks like there's a main level a couple other levels that go out into the mountain side. so it's pretty elaborate. he's been working ton, to our knowledge, since 2004. we have photographs from 2004 to present date showing various stages's construction ands as you know probably from yesterday we attempted to breach it many times using tear gassance and different items, and had difficulty. it was fortified heavily. >> what kind of weapons did he have with him?

what made him apparently snap and suddenly, you know, allegedly kill his wife, his daughter and then go into hiding inside this bunker? >> you know, that's the million dollar question. it's baffling all of us. this guy has no prior history of arrests. we've had no prior history at his residence for any type of domestic violence or abuse. for all intents and purpose, showed up, worked at the same job for 11, 12 years. we're baffled. people after the fact, should have saw it coming, but there appeared to have been no indication of this happening. >> all right. from the king county sheriff's office on the phone, thanks for joining us. a new code of conduct coming in the wake of the new prostitution scandal in colombia. new rushlgs agents on assignment in other countries have to act like they are still in the united states. also, they're forbidden from having anyone else in their room. they're now have a list of place where is they have to stay away from and are now allowed to drink alcohol within ten hours of reporting for duty. meantime, sources with knowledge of the colombia investigation tell cnn arthur huntington is the agent at center of the scandal, the one who had a paid dispute with an escort that brought the whole story to light. huntington, we're told, has left the agency. defense secretary leon panetta says there no question the u.s. is safer with osama bin laden dead. but he insists there's no silver bull toit completely eliminate al qaeda's threat. panetta was cia director when bin laden was killed almost one year ago today. he wasn't whip the president and other top officials who nervously watched the raid play out from the white house. he was at the cia operations center and says there are several nerve-racking moments before he found out the mission was a success. >> they said they had kia withdrawn and confirmed in fact it happened. that was the moment when we knew that all of the work that had been done was -- was paying off. i think the one thing all of us feel pretty good about that were involved in this operation is that as a result of what we did, america is safer. republican senator john mccain is blasting president obama for a new election ad that questions whether mitt romney would have ordered the raid on bin laden's compound. in a written statement issued by the republican national committee, mccain said obama should be ashamed of himself for turning bin laden's killing into a "cheap political attack ad." mccain says the president is performing an shameless end zone dance to help himself get re-elected. you know those age progression photos used to help find missing children that have grown up?

>> hi, alison. it's scary. the average graduate is exiting school with about $25,500 in debt from student loans. and there are about 36 million americans who are now facing student loan debt of one sort or another. some of it as high as $200,000, $300,000 if you're looking at lawyers and potential doctors. so it's very scary. >> okay. so, but with so much loan debt, that we're carrying, tell me four ways to get those student loans under control. >> okay. number one, you need to know how much you owe and to whom you owe it. so you need to put all those loans together, either right before graduation or right after graduation, so that you know how you can choose a repayment plan. and the fact of the matter is, if your student loan debt is more than one years' potential salary for the career you're headed towards, you're not going to be able, most likely, to afford the ten-year payment plan, which means you'll have to look for more extended payment plan, which could be as far as 25 years out. sort of like a home mortgage. >> incredible. what about deferring? isn't that an option? >> yeah. there are two things that you can do. number one, you want to consolidate all your loans. and so that you can make one payment, hopefully. you know, at least with the federal government you can consolidate. with the private loans that you may have taken as a student or your parents may have taken on your behalf, those are very difficult and mostly cannot be consolidated. but if you are having problems because of unemployment, or under-employment, which by the way, 53% of graduates now are facing one of those two scenarios, you can either ask for a deferment or forbearance. deferment you basically say, i'm unemployed i can't pay. help me out here. we need to push this off a little longer until i get a job. forbearance, on the other hand is, your opportunity to say to the lender, or the consolidator, i'm not earning what i thought i was going to be earning. can we make it a smaller payment? defer it a little longer or can we change the length of term of my payment plan so that i'll have smaller, more affordable payments. >> just to make it clear. if you defer, you're still paying interest? the interest will be accruing, rather? >> in all of these, the interest continues to accrue, but, you know, if they do pass this -- maintainens of the 3.4 rate of interest it will at least be accruing at a lower rate, but that will only be for people taking out loans now. not for those that have incurred expenses in prior years. >> so last question for you. is there anything parents and grandparents can do to help? >> yeah. number one, parents and grandparents can make sure the kids know what their first year's salary might be so they don't take on too much debt, but if they're members of organizations like the elks or religious groups or such, check and see if there are scholarships available. if one of your parents or grandparents graduated from the college that you're going to, see if you can get a lessening of the cost of that education as the child of an alumni. or they can also, you know, be funding now for future would-be college grad wishguatgraduates. 529 plans. some of those plan, getting fewer and farther in between. if they've had military service, may be able to help a student out with a lesser expense with college. >> okay. financial consultant daria dolan, thanks for joining us with great advice there. if you want more helpful financial advice and sign up to the dolan's free newsletter, go to our website. a former top aide of john edwards was so intimidated by the one-time presidential candidate, he actually feared for his life. his dramatic testimony coming up. women are not equal to men when it comes to smoking. we'll tell you why after the break.
