We came here to waive jurisdiction and go back to california and to get it on. Bob durst didnt kill susan berman. Hes ready to end all the rumor and speculation and have a trial. Investigators say new evidence has now come to light in the case. Could it be the audio here just revealed in this hbo documentary. Its called the jinx. At the end of the final video, hes confronted with damning evidence. He forgets that he has a microphone on when he goes to the bathroom. This is what he says. Take a listen. Killed them all, of course. Hbo by the way, owned by time warner Parent Company of cnn. With me now ive got attorneys eric guster and bob shaw. First iimiguel marquez has more on the twists and turns. When miguel did filmmakers learn about this hot mic, this audio and when did they tell police . Recently. This is a sixpart documentary. They interviewed him guys. The first time was three years ago. The second time with that bathroom bit. By the way, you hear a weird sound. Thats him burping. He does it on camera and he talks about the burping. Like theres something trying to get out of this man. It is absolutely bizarre. The twists get twistier in this case. The filmmakers two years ago interviewed him. He says this in the bathroom. They dont even realize its on the tape until about several months ago. An editor is going through it. They listen to it and they pick it up. Heres what andrew the director of this film told cbs this morning. But his microphone kept recording. We always leave the microphone on him. He knows that. He went to the bathroom while it was recording. It wasnt until months later that we had an editor listening to material that we had left behind. Thinking now we have to listen to everything weve got. Were approximate to finish the series. We discover we have this shocking piece of audio. Here they are, gob smacked that they have exactly what they were trying to get from him during this second interview. They confronted him about all this very finite detail about the murder of susan berman, a letter sent to police then and a letter that they found during their research that had the exact same block letters, the exact same misspelling of the word beverly. Right. Miguel stay with me. To eric and bob. The first question in this whole moment where you hear on this mic, i killed them all, of course could that be used in court . I believe it could. The question is whether he had the expectation of privacy in the restroom. Thats what theyre going to argue. He was miked up doing a documentary going into his life and he was willingly giving statements and being interviewed over and over about these issues. I believe its going to eventually get in. What would his attorneys do with this this. Theyre going to argue a reasonable expectation of privacy in the bathroom. Heres the problem. He knows hes miked voluntarily. He puts it on for the interview. Secondarily secondarily, it was a statement by a private citizen. All those arguments about constitutional violations and invading my privacy due to my miranda rights they dont apply here. Hes going to have a tough time getting this thrown out. What baffles me, miguel these filmmakers of the documentary, revealed this other piece of evidence. This has been investigated for years and years by law enforcement. But they find this letter durst wrote to this victim, susan berman. Tell me about that letter. This was a letter that was written bch her murder obviously that she used to be his publicist. They were good friends. He writes her a letter from his Downtown Office in l. A. Says good luck hope everything is great. See you in the future, bob. On the envelope, the outside the address, exactly the same as the letter sent to police after her murder telling police where the murder where the victim was. Saying this address, cadaver. That was the only thing the note inside the letter said. But the addresses on the letter the exact same block lettering. And the same misspelling of beverly. When the filmmakers confront him with this he gets very nervous. He starts burping and then sort of says well that could be a common misspelling. Anybody can misspell beverly. Go to the bathroom. The first thing he says in the bathroom is thats it youre caught. Its incredible. What do you do with this . This is the type of case that we see all the time where clients have just so much rope that they eventually hang themselves. He went to this interview and i would have never allowed a client to do this. There is no way do the documentary . Absolutely not. Because that is essentially a Police Interrogation on tape and you dont have the police rules intact. You dont have your lawyer who has to guide the questions or lawyer who can object to the questions. Its just him and a filmmaker asking him questions. That is so much rope to hang himself and he probably did. Were talking about final final question. Were talking about three murders here. The first wife her bold i has never been found. Now that hes in jail they have to be asking right, about her . Hes got his lawyer. He wont be giving any more statements. The issue is what has come from the reopening of the investigation. This case in los angeles is hot with the new admission. If they get a conviction in california i would think thats the end of this. Hell be spending the rest of his life and die in a prison cell. They have to see what new information they have that ties him to this crime other than the letter and his statement. Those two things alone is enough for a jury to convict him. The letter is damaging. Its horribly damaging. Im not a comparison expert but we dont need to hire an expert to tell you. Those are the type of details that get people either convicted or found not guilty. Get them acquitted. Because the small details of what a jury would look at and say, how could this happen but for this person doing this . That is what gets them convicted. A lot of rope here. Oh, yeah. He shouldnt audition for how to get away with murder. He could have done it but he talked to much. He got too complacent. Eric and bob, thank you very much. Miguel marquez, thank you as well. Coming up next Los Angeles Police theyre searching for one of their own in this investigation of a deadly shooting. A rookie officer, his gun missing. Find out why he is wanted. Plus as isis destroys Saddam Husseins tomb all eyes are on babylon. Can this precious place be protected . And Creflo Dollar he is a mega pastor. Have you heard about this . Hes asking his congregation to pay 300 bucks apiece so he can buy a new private jet. A jet with the cost of 65 million. Why does he want to do this . Well explore that coming up. But ive managed. Except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. And when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Mouths are watering, and stomachs are growling. Or is that just me . Its lobsterfest. Red lobsters largest variety of lobster dishes all year. Double up with dueling lobster tails. Or make lobster lovers dream a delicious reality. But hurry this wont last long. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. We take you to los angeles for this. Police are searching for one of their own in connection with a deadly weekend shooting. Officers believe henry solis knows they want to talk to him. He was off duty at the time of the shooting. Has not reported for work ever since. Investigators were tipped off to solis possible involvement by this odd clue. His car, a Volkswagen Jetta found abandoned blocks from the crime scene. Witnesses saw the car speeding away while the victim lay bleeding in the street. Were joined the victims family what are they saying. Theyre saying that they think this was a case of mistaken identity. They say from what they understand their relative had gone out he was out with friends, went to a club, had pizza. Somewhere around 2 45 a. M. This is the morning of friday the 13th, hes with a woman he opens the door for her and then he confronts this possible suspect in this case. Lets take a listen. Witnesses said that the person started like arguing with him and my son right away raised his hand and said it wasnt me. It wasnt me. That was the witness that said that. The guy started yelling at him more and started arguing with him and my son that the guy kept on seeing him, it wasnt me, it wasnt me. Thats when he heard the shots, five times. And she and other another relative said just a great person who volunteered in a local church brooke. So then its horrible for this family. What about this officer, what is the Los Angeles Police department saying . Well they now have an officer who is awol. Theyre trying to actively find them. Theyve tried to call him. It was saturday morning that he didnt show up for his shift. Hes a probationary officer, he works with an older more seasoned Training Officer out of the division in the valley. His record was unremarkable and that no significant discipline no commendations and he would have come off probation in november. It was a concern. Lets see what andrew smith had to say. Hes the commander here. He said this was so unusual that basically he got contacted before the pomona Police Department contacted them saying what do i do i have a situation in which one of my officers has not showed up for work, weve tried to contact him. We cannot reach him and that alone is enough for just disciplinary action brooke. Stay on it for us. Paul burr canon in l. A. Mock executions by a man who is held by isis and managed to escape alive.

Isis militants destroying crosses in the province. Even the tomb of Saddam Hussein isnt safe. Over control of tikrit, it was squashed to rubble though its not clear which side did it. So far, the ancient city of babylon has been out of their grasp. Heres correspondent ben wedeman with more on that. The city of babylon has seen empires come and empires go. Built, destroyed, rebuilt and ransacked time and time again. It dates back 4,500 years and remains a symbol of the glory of mesopotamia. Babylon was last rebuilt, if you can call it that by Saddam Hussein in the 1980s. One of his palaces looms over the ruins. The renovated ruins include bricks stamped with his name. Describing him as the son of the great babylonian king nebuchadnezzar. This wasnt saddams he says. It belonged to our grandfathers the bob loan iansaddam. Isis has eclipsed the megalomania. Isis posted footage of the destruction of priceless artifacts in the mosul museum. Theyve reportedly bulldozed ancient cities in northern iraq. The mosul museum was destroyed. Why asks a nun addressing isis . That is the heritage of your grand fathers. Why did you do that . South of baghdad, babylon is out of isis reach. For isis monuments like these are from an arabic the age of ignorance before the advent of islam and, therefore, must be destroyed. But for most iraqis theyre the achievements of their forefathers and a great source of national pride. Translator this is the victory hes a leader of the iraqi scouts movement. He and other parents are preparing for a campout intended to teach iraqi boys and girls about their history. Translator we have to preserve our heritage to show how advanced babylonian civilization was. It was the pinnacle of ancient civilization. The assault on iraqs history is taken personally here. Translator when i saw what happened i was determined to preserve our antiquities from isis, says this man, who fled mosul last year when isis overran the city. Iraqs very identity is tied up with its ancient past. In a land where history is measured not in centuries, but in millennia, sites like these have a deep personal resonance. Translator babylon is our soul, says mohammed from the antiquities department. Its our heritage, our history. Well defend it. A heritage and a history now under assault from latter day barbarians. Ben wedeman, cnn, babylon, iraq. Ben, thank you for that. Also, this story. The words are absolutely chilling. The spanish journalist who is speaking about his harrowing experiences as an isis hostage in the presence of this infamous killer by the nickname of jihadi john. In an article that was published in the sunday times of london. Javier espinosa gives his warning you, some of it is graphic. He was explaining what happened to him. He caressed my neck with the blade but kept on talking. Feel it . Cold isnt it . Can you imagine the pain youll feel when it cuts. Unimaginable pain. He was brushing my jugular now. The first hit will sever your veins, the blood mixes with your saliva. He tells of the second and third graze from the sword and how the man practiced the execution with a pistol. Espinosa corresponded for the spanish paper was captured in 2013. Want to bring in Investigative Reporter for reuters who was once held and kidnapped by the taliban. We knew with isis we knew the mock executions were happening. This is the first time weve heard from anyone who has escaped captivity who talks about what they do what it feels like. Why . We dont know. This is an amazing story. Javier espinosa is a decorated war correspondent. He explains why people have been talking. They were told by isis if they talked about their captivity, the remaining captives would be punished. Theres essentially only one captive left. Thats why javier wrote this piece and talked about it. The british man . Yeah. Using his own words in the piece, hes talks about them being demented people psychopaths. These are the words and the acts of a criminal. This has nothing to do with islam. This is the demented isis crucible the strange world theyve created for themselves. You came in close contact with the taliban. I think of different branches of al qaeda. Im wondering with this notion of faking out someone, what you dont know if youre going to live or die with this sword to your throat, why is isis doing this . Well javier in the story talks about this love of theater. And this love of drama. Again, it seems like something a criminal would do. Theres speculation about why some of the captives seem calm in the execution videos. Theyve gone tlu many mock executions. They have frankly accepted their fate. I think what i would do in that situation. What would you do . You dont want to show panic or fear. Youre thinking about your family and the people watching the tape. You dont want to let your captors win. Again, these are demented people. It reminds me of david car he shall. They were killing everyone with glasses because they were going to create a paradise for peasant farmers. Thats honestly a farrah nalg towards the islamic state. I do think this behavior these stories is going to backfire on them not just in the west but in the region as ben showed in the story. People are troud of their history and theyre destroying it. It has a deep personal resonance. You think about the statues when you see the videos posts of them smashing the statues, precious artifacts. He goes through this city of babylon. Its something we havent seen before from a group to do this. I think theyre gamble they will attract more demented people who believe these things like jihadi john. It might help them in recruitment. It will backfire on them. This isnt human. Its not normal behavior. No culture, no i think no accountable government. Criminal. David rowe thank you very much. Coming up next, minister asks his Church Members to give him money to buy a new jet. Don will join me live next. Plus fashion designers Dolce Gabbana in the thick of this controversy, quoting them talking about chemical babies and they two gay men oppose gay adoptions. American idol star and gay father clay aiken joins me with his response coming up. The real question that needs to be asked is what is it that we can do that is impactful . What the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. It used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. Whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, thats what id like to do. Hey mom, you want to live by the lake, right . Yeah. Theres here. Did you just share a listing with me . Look at this one. Its got a great view of the lake. Its really nice mom. Your dad wouldve loved this place. Youre not just looking for a house. Youre looking for a place for your life to happen. Zillow it was a plea called project it came from a televangelist Creflo Dollar. He wanted 20,000 of his parishioners to cough up 300 bucks or more. Why you ask . So the church could buy this. Its a g 6650 gold stream jet. It retails for 65 million. The congregation said the current jet is in disrepair. He posted onl
