continues for sarah's brother, mom and a family friend. barbara pinto has the latest from mt. vernon, ohio. >> reporter: the teenage girl held captive for days in the dark basement of this home could be her missing family and law enforcement's best hope. >> not only is she assisting the investigation, but under the circumstances, a 13-year-old girl being held captive for four days by a total stranger, i would call her the epitome of bravery. >> reporter: sarah maynard was found bound and gagged in matthew hoffman's basement ten miles from where she, her 10-year-old brother kody, her mother tina herrmann, and stephanie sprang, a family friend, all disappeared. hoffman is described as a loner and the lone suspect so far in this baffling crime. just a block from his home, a desperate search. by air, on foot, and by boat. even pulling two cars from a pond. >> the fact that only one person has been located since last wednesday, you have to be just realistic. you just have to be realistic that there's a possibility that these folks are dead. >> reporter: neighbors say hoffman's girlfriend and her son recently moved out and described his behavior as odd. >> he really was a weirdo. he sat in the trees. if you look back up there in the trees, there's a hammock where he would sit and watch people. he's very different. >> he's very -- i would say paranoid. like you could tell he was nervous around people. and he wasn't very social. >> reporter: hoffman served prison time before, in colorado, for arson, convicted at age 19 for torching a townhome complex to cover a burglary. >> we always thought he was weird or odd but never thought he was capable of actually being involved in this case. >> reporter: this began last wednesday. sarah and her brother went to school, came home, then disappeared. the same day their mom didn't show up for work at this dairy queen. the following day her boss called police. they found the family's home littered with beer cans and blood. even the family dog was missing. >> detectives are interviewing family members, friends, acquaintances. those kinds of things. right now, there's no indications to say that they were abducted, if that's the path you're going down. but they're unaccounted for. >> reporter: tina herrmann's ex-boyfriend was clearly worried. >> the way things are going down, as long as they've been processing the house, something happened inside that house. >> reporter: friday, more grim news. herrmann's truck was found at nearby kenyon college. investigators locked down the campus and questioned a man in a car parked nearby -- named matthew hoffman. that encounter may have helped lead a s.w.a.t. team to hoffman's home sunday morning. >> i came out, looked out the window, i looked and there was two sheriff cars blocking the road here. and pretty soon all kind of sheriff cars started pulling up and s.w.a.t. team came and then the blast i heard. it was the -- they blasted the door and went in. >> we have some good news to report today. we have located and rescued 13-year-old sarah maynard at approximately 8:00 a.m. this morning. she's been under the control of mr. hoffman since wednesday. >> reporter: so far, the 30-year-old hoffman's only connection to sarah's family, his parents live within walking distance of her home. investigators say hoffman isn't talking much. even without his cooperation, hoffman's cell phone records and computer, along with surveillance video from neighboring businesses, could provide valuable answers. they can't come soon enough for anxious families and friends enduring another agonizing day. >> i just don't want her out there alone. whatever it is, i don't want her to be alone. >> reporter: tonight, the 13-year-old who may have the key to finding her brother, mother and friend, is safe staying with relatives while this town holds its breath. i'm barbara pinto in mt. vernon, ohio. >> we'll be right back. ídídídídx welcome back, everybody. of course, down to the wire on "dancing with the stars" here. jennifer grey, i'm betting my money on her, i think she could walk away with this thing. nobody puts baby in the corner. she's rocking and rolling on the show. she danced last night and got two perfect scores back to back. two 30s which was pretty special. pretty unprecedented as well. she looked great out there, and again, i thought she may walk away with this thing when all is said and done. looked straight out there. apparently making some news and stealing headlines here is the one and only bristol palin. she's giving interviews where she's kind of let a little behind the scenes inside out. she said basically she is not really liked so much by some of the folks on the show, including that guy there, one of the professional dancers, maks -- i'm going to butcher this last name. "maks does not like me. he thinks i don't deserve to be here because i'm not the best dancer." she's had some pretty low scores along the way so lots of folks have questioned, what's she still doing hanging around? then she also gave another interview where she's kind of saying -- kind of rejecting the backlash that she's only lasted this long because of the popularity of her mom sarah palin. she says, i'm so sick of bristol has the tea party backing her, she's got the republican party. i don't think that's true at all. so many people attack me every day because of who my mom is so that works both ways. she's disputing that her mom's political popularity has got her this far. also saying some of the folks behind the scenes think she's not too good so they're rooting against her. she's close to making the final. she is now in the final so we'll see if she pulls it all the way. she thinks her chances are pretty good. >> there's one thing you can't dispute, that is the popularity of her mom. sunday night was the debut of her new show on tlc and it had huge numbers. 4.96 million viewers. keep in mind. when "conan" debuted, 4.2 million. like i said, it's on tlc. basically one of the things that's sort of being talked about is sarah palin is the reason bristol's still on "dancing with the stars," and she could even win because of it. if you haven't seen the show, you haven't seen the promos, it's basically supposed to show she's an avid adventurer. there's going to be eight weeks of the show. with ratings like that, that beats "jon and kate" and is the new record-holder for tlc. this is the new future, what will it do for her political future? no one's saying anything yet. >> karl rove made controversial comments about this not being presidential for sarah to be doing this. numbers are numbers. another interesting story out of hollywood apparently the whole michael douglas divorce case bass back in court in manhattan this week. basically the judge said, you know ex-wife diandra, ex-wife is not entitled to all that money she was going for from his big paycheck for "wall street 2." after they divorced in 2000 she was entitled to 50% of whatever movies he made. obviously this year the "wall street" sequel came out. obviously made millions from that movie. the judge said, there's no way that you're entitled to that money and his lawyer spoke on his behalf, said michael "sounded great" when he called him. battling throat cancer, so that's good news. michael was thrilled but it may not be over yet. the ex-wife who's going for all this cash could relaunch the case out in california. not a done deal. tmz thinks they know the back story of mel gibson and oksana. keep in mind, we saw those pictures of her with the broken teeth. according to tmz, they got the court documents. what they're saying is mel gibson admits slapping oksana because she was so hysterical, she was endangering the baby. but he denies hitting her. he basically says they had an argument, she was swinging around their baby, he was afraid of shaken baby syndrome and he was swinging ap her. around their baby, he was afraid of shaken baby syndrome and he went on to slap her. you don't need a rematch, but a rethink. with lunesta. lunesta is thought to interact with gaba receptors associated with sleep. lunesta helps you get the restful sleep you need. lunesta has some

elisa began cooperating with police in late october, leading investigators to zahra's remains. at one point she identified an object as part of a prosthetic leg and specifically identified it as a gel
