maryland. crowded pool parties in the lake of the ozarks. health officials have asked hundreds to self-quarantine for 14 days. it is a reopening that comes with risks, we all know that. and turning points as well, as we witnessed in new york city today. here again, tom llamas. reporter: today, for the first time in months, wall street opened to the new normal. lines for temperature checks to get on the floor of the new york stock exchange. the governor ringing the bell and reopening the floor. traders wearing masks and socially distanced. the market today surging despite that grim milestone looming. nearly 100,000 american lives lost to the virus. the president insisting the toll could have been much higher. if we didn t act quickly and smartly, we would ve had, in my opinion and in the opinion of others, anywhere from 10 to 20 and maybe even 25 times the number of deaths. reporter: but tonight renewed concern after scenes like these
over the weekend. social distancing is absolutely critical. and if you can t social distance and you re outside, you must wear a mask. reporter: from beaches to pool parties like this one in houston. to this crowded bar in arizona. many americans close together and many without masks. if you re worried about it, stay home. if you don t want to catch it, stay home. reporter: after back to back pool parties at missouri s lake of the ozarks, health officials urging anyone there to self-quarantine for 14 days. it seems like the younger generation doesn t have any fear here. reporter: tonight, cases of the virus still rising across 14 states, including in alabama. the mayor of montgomery telling our marcus moore they re low on icu beds. is it too soon to open alabama and this city? absolutely. i think it s too soon. we have to make sure that we are being guided by the data and not the dollars. reporter: but tonight, signs
of progress in new york state. in the suburb of new rochelle, where we saw the first containment zone after a cluster of cases, today, a slow reopening. kamesha salmon opening her store for the first time in nearly two months. i understand the pandemic, but you also have to understand i have two children. they got to eat. we still have bills, and nothing changed. tom, i know you were in new rochelle tonight. things are starting to open up, and some positive signs. but restrictions in new york city still in place. reporter: that s right, david. and no date has been set to reopen, that has frustrated some new yorkers. but the governor and mayor have both said it s still not safe to reopen new york city. it will likely reopen in phases during the first two weeks of june. but an exact date has not been set. there is still major concern about minority communities in the city. tom, thank you. amid all
of words erupting between president trump and joe biden. president trump taking aim at biden for wearing a mask on memorial day. biden responding, saying the president is an absolute fool to talk that way. here s mary bruce. reporter: tonight, two images reflect the split screen this campaign has become. president trump in a factory without a mask, surrounded by people who are all wearing them. and his rival joe biden, out for the first time publicly since march. his own face, covered. he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions. perfect weather. they are inside, they don t wear masks and so i thought it was very unusual that he had one on. reporter: biden tonight firing right back. he s a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. i mean, every leading doc in the world is saying we should wear a mask when you re in a crowd. this macho stuff for a guy, well, i shouldn t get going. but it just has cost people s

while democrats are taking the opposite approach. they re already planning to massively scale back their convention. possibly holding much of it virtually. mary, thank you. we will turn next to the horror unfolding in brazil. second only to the u.s. in number of cases. hospitals there overwhelmed. they re digging mass graves. the white house with a travel ban that begins just hours from now. ian pannell tonight. reporter: tonight, the countdown to a midnight ban as travelers in brazil scramble. the country is the world s new hot spot, second only to the u.s. in confirmewhe house now p through the travel ban two days ahead of schedule, though u.s. citizens are exempt. more than 23,000 have now died in brazil from covid-19. the daily death rate exceeding that of the u.s. for the first time as hospitals become overwhelmed. and across the country, mass graves are dug to handle the surge. president bolsonaro, who called

here in minneapolis as this city and the country, mourned a man whose death has inspired a movement. we are witnessing it right now. tonight, we are just steps away from where george floyd died 10 nights ago, as minneapolis police officers pressed their knees into his neck and body. and as we visited with members of the community today, we were struck by how many people now come to this corner every day to reflect on what happened and to call for change. today was the first of several services for george floyd, and as he was being eulogized by civil rights leaders, in washington, hundreds gathered at the martin luther king jr. memorial. tonight, the protests andgrg las lifting curfews after mostly peaceful demonstrations. at the same time today, in two courtrooms, we saw just how floyd s death is forcing this country to confront painful
truths about the treatment of african americans. here in minneapolis, three police officers charged with aiding and abetting murder in floyd s death were in court, while in georgia, there was a stunning development in the death of ahmaud arbery, who was shot while jogging in his neighborhood. today, investigators told a judge the man accused of killing arbery stood over his body and called him a racial epithet. well, there s a lot of news to get to tonight, and our team of correspondents is standing by. cbs jeff pegues is here with me and is going to lead off our coverage. it was amazing just to see the family come through here and this crowd give them an enormous amount of respect. reporter: it was quite the sight to see. and the memorial service today, norah, it was george floyd s goodbye to minneapolis, a city he had moved to in search of a better opportunity. the nearly two-hour service celebrated who he was, but alson he die it was a day filled with
emotional moments. the minneapolis police chief kneeling as george floyd s hearse arrived. a distraught mayor weeping at the golden casket. reporter: floyd s siblings spoke lovingly about their big brother, who they called perry. everybody wants justice. we want justice for george. he s going to get it. he s going to get it. reporter: the reverend al sharpton addressed the socially distanced crowd, calling floyd s death a symbol of black americans plight. it s time for us to stand up in george s name and say, get your knee off our necks. the reason why we are marching all over the world is, we were like george we couldn t breathe. not because there was something wrong with our lungs, but because you wouldn t take your knee off our neck! rights leaders, and celebrities like kevin hart, ludacris, and tiffany haddish, all came to the
city where floyd wanted to start a new life, to honor him and say goodbye. as the community mourned, the three officers accused of aiding in floyd s death appeared before a judge. wearing orange jumpsuits, fired officers thomas lane, alexander kueng, and tou thao listened as the charges were read. i cannot breathe. reporter: while derek chauvin pressed his knee into floyd s deck, lane and king applied pressure to his back and legs. according to a criminal report, a minute after floyd became unresponsive, lane said, you want to roll him on his side? kueng checked for a pulse, and said, i couldn t find one. according to personnel files released today, chauvin had at least two letters of reprimand, and he worked as a security guard at the same restaurant where floyd was also a bouncer. floyd s brother philonise says chauvin should be charged with first-degree murder.
is it possible chauvin knew exactly who george floyd was, and that this was personal in some ways? i would think it was personal. reporter: you think it is? i think it is. reporter: what gives you that impression? if i m working in the club and i m the officer, i see everybody going in. i see everybody coming out. so, of course it was premeditated. reporter: you think it was. i think it was. reporter: today s tribute was for a man the world learned about just 10 days ago, and now, his name is fueling a movement. floyd family attorney benjamin crump: do not cooperate with evil. protest against evil. join the young people in the streets protesting against the evil, the inhumane, the torturea video!nell: and, jeff, you since the beginning of this, from the protests, now the memorial service. have you noticed the tensions
easing? reporter: well, sure. initially, obviously, this was a crime scene, so it was natural to see anger and frustration. now, look at it, this large diverse crowd. they are celebrating life here. but they re also, norah, planning for action. o donnell: and saying his name. george floyd. say his name! george floyd! o donnell: thank you, jeff. in the past 24 hours, peaceful protests across the country have far outnumbered incidents of violence stemming from the killing of george floyd. in new york today, thousands turned out to remember george flki woyvengale r oklbrthoo bridge, chanting his name. quite a contrast after a night of unrest in the city where police and protesters were in sometimes-violent clashes. jericka duncan has been covering the protests from the beginning, and she joins us again there tonight. jericka. reporter: that s right. we ve been talking to protesters all day long. we walked about two miles to this location. they said today is really about reflecting on the injustice in
this country, also asking that important question of, where do we go from here? oryd. you are not alone. you are not alone. reporter: including his younger brother terrence. thank god for your show of love for my brother. reporter: it was a day of remembrance, a cry for further action. where were you when cops were killing people unarmed? where were you when our educational system was broken? where were you when we needed jobs? now, you care about people s lives! reporter: among the crowd today, 72-year-old gloria sellers. to me all of this is just a continuation of everything that we have been fighting for, for years and decades. reporter: it s the ninth day of nationwide protests. thousands more marched peacefully in los angeles. people all over the world are joining in condemning this abuse of human rights.
reporter: .while others quietly prayed outside the national cathedral in washington, d.c. nationwide, wednesday was the calmest the streets have been this week. curfews have now been lifted in salt lake city, san francisco, and los angeles. don t shoot! reporter: while most protestn things got out of control in brooklyn, new york. police aggressively used their batons to physically move a large crowd of protesters. but in long beach, california, police announced today they are investigating this photo, where you can see an officer pointing a weapon at a man holding his two-year-old son on his shoulders. many of these protesters i spoke to say they plan to be out here past the city s 8:00 p.m. curfew. today, the mayor of the city s largest city or, excuse me the mayor of the nation s largest city, bill de blasio, spoke at the tribute for floyd. he was booed, norah, and people even turned their back on him.
o donnell: jericka duncan in new york city tonight. thank you. tonight, republican senator lisa murkowski of alaska says she s struggling with her support for president trump after seeing comments from former defensettin him. tonight, she says she feels we re reaching a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally about the president. the comments come as the president is facing what d.c. police say could be one of the largest protests in the city s history. cbs paula reid is at the white house tonight. paula. reporter: norah, the president s emphasis on law and order and his threats to deploy the military to handle protests, like the one this weekend, all part of an effort to appeal to his base, at a time when his support is slipping not just among voters but also among current and former defense officials.he whihouse s not stog military officials. secretary of defense mark esper
is still on the job today, even after he rejected the president s threat to use active-duty military to police the protests. president trump lashed out at his first defense secretary, general james mattis, calling him the world s most overrated general, after mattis said wednesday night, donald trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the american people. instead, he tries to divide us. tonight, general john kelly, the president s former chief of staff, backed mattis, calling him an honorable man, and the president s twitter attack nasty. mattis is the fourth former military leader to speak out against president trump s tactics. he was commended for his remarks by some republicans on capitol hill. well, general mattis letter was stunning and powerful. repor of response to the protests. the national guard presence in washington has grown to nearly 5,000 with almost 1,000 active-
duty troops also waiting in the wings just outside the district. with another huge protest scheduled for saturday, attorney general bill barr defended the administration s controversial approach, including the removal of peaceful protesters for a presidential photo-op. i think the president should be able to walk outside the white house and walk across the street to the church of presidents. reporter: recent polls show the president s public approval rating dropping, and the economy continues to slump, with nearly 1.9 million americans filing jobless claims last week. those economic numbers are a great concern to the president and his campaign. they met here at the white house today to discuss strategy, and a senior campaign official tells cbs news the president has been worried about his polling, and today, spoke at length about how to attract black voters. norah. o donnell: paula reid at the white house tonight. paula, thank you. the story of george floyd has
energized a nation of young people, and nowhere more than here in minneapolis. what we saw today was a community coming together and crying out for change. it s still happening right now behind me, as you can see. but as two historians from the university of minnesota told us, the road won t be easy. say his name! george floyd! o donnell: kendrick benson turned 28 today, and all he wants for his birthday, he says, is justice. when you saw the video of what happened to george floyd, how did that affect you? at this point, you almost get numb to it. it s a deep numbness, because you feel hopeless. you re like, you can t do nothing to stop it and it won t be able to it could be you. reporter: benson grew up here in minneapolis. what s his name? george floyd! o donnell: despite a curfew, the ministry leader rallied protesters at the site of floyd s death, his first protest ever. we re grieving! we re hurt!
we have the right to hurt! now, i think when we have the world s attention it s time to make a demand that s serious, a demand that literally they have to meet, that will change the world. this is a new civil rights movement. o donnell: keith mayes is a professor at the university of minnesota. john wright is retired from the school and both specialize in african american studies. why do you describe this as a powder keg waiting to explode? because the injustices are systemic. they are long-standing. they go back many decades. this is a powder keg because this is the last time that i think the community is going to sit idly by without systematic change. o donnell: minnesota has one of the largest racial gaps in the country. the poverty among african americans here is nearly four times that of whites. in minneapolis, black people are seven times more likely to have a violent police encounter than whites. one hopes for a systemic change.
one cannot underestimate the barriers to achieving it. o donnell: but kendrick benson is optimistic. what do you hope comes from this? to be honest, this is what s coming from it. this is different than anything you ve ever seen happening here before. this is what s coming. the change is here. o donnell: and what we saw here today was people kneeling together, raising their fists together, and saying george floyd s name together in the hope of change. well, tonight, we are also learning new details about the final moments of ahmaud arbery, the 25-year-old black man who was shot and killed while jogging in georgia. at a court hearing for the three men charged with murdering arbery, investigators stunned the courtroom saying one of the suspects called arbery by a racial epithet after allegedly shooting him. cbs omar villafranca reports. what do we want? justice! reporter: outside, the crowd chanted for justice. travis and gregory mcmichael watched on video conference
while inside the courtroom, state investigator richard dial told a judge new details about the deadly february 23 confrontation. william roddie bryan, who recorded the shooting and is also charged with murder, told investigators, shortly after travis mcmichael shot arbery three times, he heard travis utter a racial slur. reporter: investigators also revealed, in arbery s final moments, he was running for his life. and he ran until he couldn t run anymore, and it was turn his back to a man with a shotgun, or, or fight with his bare hands against a man with a shotgun. he chose to fight. reporter: dial said the chase started when the father and son, as well as bryan, tried repeatedly to block arbery with their trucks after they saw him running from a house under
construction. they thought he was a burglar. prosecutors say the 25-year-old was just jogging through the neighborhood. the department of justice is also looking into possible federal hate crimes in this case. as for the three suspects, the judge ordered that they remain in jail. norah. o donnell: omar villafranca, thank you. and there is still much more news ahead on tonight s cbs evening news. the las vegas strip is back in business, with some noticeable changes in light of the pandemic. later, channeling grief into hope we ll meet the artists whose work is helping a community heal. now might not be the best time to ask yourself, are my bones strong? life is full of make or break moments. that s why it s so important to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia®. only prolia® is proven to help strengthen and protect bones from fracture with 1 shot every 6 months. do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium,

came from out of everywhere and they got their knee on me, almost like george floyd. i couldn t breathe. reporter: king was hospitalized with a concussion, his face swollen with cuts and bruises. i didn t do anything to anybody. and i was violated. reporter: king sued the department, which argued he didn t tell them he had a gun permit until later. he got a $122,000 settlement. ultimately, who s paying the tab for those settlements? residents of the city of minneapolis. we ve seen a similar culture of abuse in other large cities across the country. reporter: since 2003, minneapolis has paid out $45 million in settlements. this year alone, los angeles has paid more than $6 million in settlements, chicago more than 14 million, new york, since 2015, more than $1 billion. zach king says it was officer joshua stewart who led the assault against him. since the incident, a cbs news
investigation found nine more misconduct complaints have been made against him, none resulting in discipline. what do you make of that? it s pitiful. it s like, it s ridiculous. reporter: the minneapolis police department told cbs news that previous conduct and nature of current offense are factors that can be figured into discipline. king says not all police are bad. his little brother is a cop. they just need to be held accountable. if you sit back and watch a bad cop do bad stuff, you re a bad cop, too. reporter: minneapolis police still rebuilding its reputation after george floyd s death says the officer involved in zach king s case is still on the job, and if derek chauvin is convicted, he could still be eligible for a pension that could net him more than $1 million. norah. o donnell: jeff pegues, thank you. and there is still much more news ahead on tonight s cbs evening news. tee it high, let it fly pro golf returns.
but if you get a hole in one with no fans around to cheer, did it really happen? later, on the road. many believe babe ruth saved baseball once. a young fan hopes he can do it again. and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i m a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it s for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot.

day they are there. you ve got to be willing to adapt and be flexible, becaus the world is changing with this virus every single day. reporter: the world s top five golfers are playing this week, including second-ranked jon rahm, who says he ll miss the crowds. will that affect how you or other players perform? i don t know. i can t tell you. i mean, where you usually hit a good shot, you would be able to tell by the crowd reaction. this time you have no idea. we begin with the best shot of the day, sung kang. reporter: yesterday, golfer sung kang didn t just make a good shot, he made a perfect shot a hole in one. then, crickets. even the broadcasters are adapting. cbs sports has fewer technicians in the truck and some announcers are calling the shots from studios hundreds of miles away. but like fans everywhere, they d rather sports on tv with some changes than no sports at all. jim axelrod, cbs news. o donnell: i love it!

o donnell: major league baseball players and owners still can t agree on restarting their season, so one of baseball s biggest fans is appealing to a higher authority. cbs steve hartman is on the road. reporter: for the boys of summer, this has been one dark winter. little league s canceled, pro baseball in limbo. like the yankees. reporter: 10-year-old jake curzon of south illinois said kids in his neighborhood are devastated. we re just sad to hear that covid-19 stopped baseball. reporter: what would you give to have baseball back? uld ve anyg. reporter: and that s why, not long ago, jake reached out to the only person he knew who could both understand the depth of his sorrow and might be in a position to help. he poured his heart out in a letter and addressed it to mr. babe ruth. never mind the yankee great died 72 years ago. jake was determined to get a message through to him, and he
thought best way to do that was to send the letter here, to the gate of heaven cemetery in hawthorne, new york, where ruth is buried. and, sure enough, the staff conveyed the message, posting it right on his marker so the babe couldn t miss it. jake wrote, i thought you would be interested in knowing this is the year 2020, and we are in a world pandemic. they canceled baseball! we all have kept praying for this to end. was your thinking that if he knew that this was affecting help? yeae might step a becaus s the sport he loves and he plays. reporter: what did you want him to do? since he s, like, a guardian angel now, i wanted him to somehow make this pandemic to stop. reporter: you think he got your message? i think so. ( applause ) reporter: now, every time jake sees someone released from the hospital or hears good news about a vaccine, he knows the babe is doing everything he can
to bring back baseball and make the world as it was. so our sincere thanks to this imaginative little leaguer, who found a major league way to help. do you think you could ask him to help the tigers win a world series? because i ve been rooting for that and i haven t had much luck. or do you think that s a bridge too far? i don t think he ll answer.

minneapolis police chief faced with the possibility his department could be disbanded, unveiling his own plans for change today, revealing the department will no longer negotiate their current contract with the police union and new, real-time technology to track cops accused of misconduct and intervene. chauvin had 18 complaints against him, but was only disciplined twice. under the new rules what would have happened to someone like chauvin, who had all these complaints? we could have intervened much earlier, if there were problematic behaviors brought to our attention right away, we could have made appropriate measures. reporter: back on capitol hill, george floyd s brother demanding more accountability from officers. george wasn t hurting anyone that day. he didn t deserve to die over $20. i m asking you, is that what a black man is worth?
$20? this is 2020. enough is enough. powerful testimony. we here the demonstrators behind you tonight, alex. and we know there s late word that one of the other officers who was charged in this case, thomas lane, we remember, he was on his fourth shift as an officer that night, a rookie, there s news on him this evening? reporter: well, david, according to jail records, former officer thomas lane was released from jail just a short time ago, late this afternoon. he posted $750,000 bail and has been released. you ll remember that s the officer who in court shifted blame towards the veteran officer on the scene that night, derek chauvin. now, as for the changes here at the minneapolis police department, the chief tells me, today was just the beginning. he expects to make several announcements in the weeks ahead. david? all right, alex perez, thank you. and as i mentioned at the top tonight, there is an urgent hunt at this hour for a gunman who fired on a police station in
california, shooting a deputy in the face and then a body found a mile away, someone shot dead. authorities do believe it s related. that community put on lockdown. reporiglice oilng. reporter: police describing the shooter as a male in his 20s or 30s. they re urging residents to shelter in place. gunfire erupting early this morning around 3:15 a.m. in downtown paso robles. the pd is advising they can hear gunfire coming from the east side of their station. reporter: the gunman shot and wounded a sheriff s deputy in front of the station. taking gunfire. at the dmv! copy. taking gunfire on ninth street at the dmv. keeps shooting at us! gunfire is coming from a soh. reporter: around 7:00 a.m., police discovered the body of a
man near an amtrak station less than a mile away from the police department. the victim was shot in the head from close range and believe the shooting is connected. within the past couple of minutes, authorities released a picture of the gunman. they say, without a doubt, he set out to kill police officers and this is the third time that members of law enforcement have been ambushed here in california in just the past couple of weeks. david? the scene playing out tonight. will, thank you. we have been reporting here on the growing pressure across this country, from demonstrators and supporters, to take down confederate symbols. tonight, late word nascar is taking action, banning the confederate flag at all nascar events. driver bubba wallace wearing a t-shirt i can t breathe in recent days. u.s. military leaders have expressed a willingness to discuss renaming bases named after confederate generals. but tonight, president trump says that won t happen. saying they are part of a great american heritage. here s our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl.
reporter: president trump today firmly shot down the idea of changing the names of military bases named after confederate generals, tweeting, quote, my administration will not even consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military insulations. in case anybody missed his tweets, he dispatched his press secretary to read his words allowed. these very powerful bases have become part of a great american heritage and a history of winning, victory and freedom. reporter: it comes just after thannounced, the secretary of defense and the secretary of the army are open to a bipartisan discussion on the topic. around the country, signs of the confederacy are coming down. now nascar is announcing a ban on confederate flags at all event. tonight, racing star bubba wallace car will bear the words black lives matter. there are ten u.s. army bases named after confederate soldiers. among those calling for that to
change is retired general david petraeus, who boat in the atlantic of the, quote, irony of training at bases named for those who took up arms against the united states and for the right to enslave others. he added, we do not live in a country to which braxton bragg, henry l. benning or robert repd lee can serve as an inspiration. acknowledging this is imperative. the president wouldn t answer questions today on his decision. while the white house makes an impassioned defense of bases named for pro-slavery confederate soldiers, the president has yet to propose any specific reforms of police practices in the wake of george floyd s death. on cop toll hill, republicans have tasked the only african-american republican senator to take the lead in coming up with a plan. we should all want to follow the lead as it relates, to, a, making sure we get something acomplained, and not just having pieces of legislation they are for show. reporter: the white house
press secretary said today the president is working, quote, quietly and diligently, to come up with a plan to address the concerns of the protesters, but we have heard nothing specific. the ideaitg eye by most police officers. that s an idea that democrats and some republicans say would make it easier to hold the police accountable for their actions. david? jon karl live at the white house. jon, thank you. i want to get right to martha raddatz tonight, because martha, the army said the defense secretary was, in fact, open to discussing renaming military bases named after con fed rat generals, but you heard what the president said today, essentially saying this won t happen. so, where does it stand tonight? reporter: well, david, the decision is technically up to an assistant secretary of the army, but given what trump has said, that would likely be professional suicide. but as you know, it was just last week that secretarial of defense mark esper spoke out publicly against the president s threat to use active duty military to quell protests and
there has also been a growing chorus of retired military officers blasting trump s decision-making, so, you can t rule out the base names changing, but for now, that seems unlikely, david. all right, martha, thank you. now, the news this evening on the coronavirus, the number of cases spiking in several states across this country. and there s news tonight on a potential vaccine. tens of thousands of ams volunteeo get injected wi penal horizon. so, what could this mean for any timeline for the rest of the country? here s matt gutman on that. reporter: tonight, the u.s. government saying tens of thousands of volunteers will soon receive injections with one of three of experimental vaccines. those injections are part of third phase of vaccine trials, the stage before possible approval. and dr. anthony fauci now saying there are no garn teens, but he s cautiously optimistic about at least one of them working. we could have a vaccine either by the end of this calendar year or in the first
few months of 2021. reporter: moderna beginning phase three trials in july, followed by the university of oxford and astra-zeneca s vaccine in august and johnson & johnson in september. the goal, to test the vaccine s safety and effectiveness. that, as at least 20 states plus puerto rico seeing increases in new cases, and eight states reporting rising hospitalizations. in texas, hospitalizations jumping 40% since memorial day. officials there say it s too early to tell if that s because of reopening, the protests or both. and inlte te min o of icu beds. in mid-may, the projection for covid deaths was 600. right now, the projection is 4,500, correct. that s a pretty significant change. that s an alarming trajectory. reporter: david, the goal of a phase three trial is to determine how well a vaccine works. that s why they re casting a
wide net, up to 90,000 volunteers. half of them will be given a placebo, the other half, the actual vaccine. it will be later determined how many show the presence of antibodies. david? matt gutman, thank you again tonight, as well. we re also following that developing headline in the case of two missing siblings from idaho. their step-father was in court today facing charges now after human remains were found on his property. and what the children s heartbroken grandparents said late today. here s marcus moore. reporter: tonight, the grandparents of two idaho children, missing since september, say their bodies have been found. but police not confirming they are the remains of 17-year-old tylee ryan and her brother, 7-year-old j.j. vallow, discovered during aer er iseart chad daybell s home, their mother s new husband. we are aware that those remains are the remains of children. reporter: daybell appearing today before a judge today via zoom, facing two felony counts of destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence.
mr. daybell, do you understand the allegations on both counts that have been brought against you? i do. reporter: mom lori vallow already behind bars after refusing to tell police where the children were. lori? can you tell me where your kids are? reporter: the couple under a cloud of suspicion for months after a string of deaths in the family. marrying in hawaii weeks after daybell s first wife died. vallow s husband killed last summer by her brother, who later died himself. friends and family insisting lori changed after meeting daybell, a religious author. after lori s arrest, daybell telling us the kids were safe. is there anything that you would like to say to people who are concerned about the kids or concerned about you and your wife, anything at all you want to say to them? just grateful for any support. reporter: tonight, j.j. and tylee s family saying, we are filled with unfathomable sadness that these two bright stars were stolen from us, and only hope that they died without pain or suffering. lori vallow and her husband are
