Plane vanished . Also in world news, eat my exhaust, say the russians. The russian jet over the black sea at a time when tensions in ukraine are dividing moscow and washington. And what was the director of the cia doing in ukraines capital this weekend . Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the lead. Well begin with the national lead. A missouri man will face hate crime charges for allegedly killing three people at two separate jewish facilities. Moments ago the tapes were released as it happened. Four or five shots have been fired into the front door. Theres a male with a shotgun. And 12 shots have been fired into the door. We just had another call. 123rd and nall. Subject shot a female in the parking lot. White said dal, male with shotgun. 73yearold Frazier Glenn cross is accused of shooting three people. He has a long history of spewing antisemantic venom, including at the moment of his arrest. The feds say he will not only face murder charges but hate crime charges as well. We have now determined that the motivation behind this was a hate crime. Weve learned that the acts that this person committed were the result of beliefs and his were a result of beliefs that he had and he was trying to hurt somebody based on their ethnicity, race, religion. Yesterday was the day before passover which begins this evening. Cross was caught with at least three firearms. Investigators say that he bought his guns through a separate straw buyer, which means he never went through background checks. Investigators have now released the names of all of cross alleged victims. None is actually jewish. 52yearold terry lamona was a catholic visiting her mother at the community center. Reat grif fin underwood and his grandfather had driven to the center to take part in a singing contest. Joining us is William Corporon who lost his father and nephew in the shootings. On behalf of me and all of my viewers, im so sorry for your loss. How are you and your family dealing with this unspeakable tragedy . Minute by minute. Just coming together, trying to cope and deal with it as best we can. This is one of those things you never think is going to happen and now were planning for two funerals. Its horrific. What went through your mind when you first learned what happened . My brotherinlaw called me and just had a few words on the phone, kind of frantic, and said something about my father being shot and he would call me back. Just disbelief and panic and it was a few more minutes before i immediately tried to call my dad and, basically, he didnt answer. After a few minutes, i dont even know how long, i got another call and talked to my mother. Probably 20 minutes later and found out he was dead and started making plans to head up here to kansas city with my wife and young daughter and we came up last night. Its clear that your methodist faith is very important to your family. Is it helping you make sense of any of this . Is it providing comfort at this horrible time . No. It makes its making no sense of it at all fbut it absolutely provides comfort. There is evil and no one in my family believes that god is doing this to punish us or cause us harm. You know, evil people do evil things and what we will rely on is our faith to get us through this knowing full well that its only by the grace of god that were going to be able to pull together and come to grips with what has happened and rely on each other to get through this. I mean, weve got huge holes now in our family that will never be filled. Were just going to have to do our best to continue my fathers legacy, to continue the legacy that reat was certainly destined to live and just do our best to carry on. Tell us about reat and tell us about your father. Well, reat was just so wonderful. 14yearold, very bright. Straight a student, loved to sing, loved to perform from a very young age, loved to be in plays, very musical, very musically gifted. Many, many friends, so many friends have come together, his friends. You know, he and my father were only here because he was trying out, auditioning for this scholarship competition of some sort. Im not sure exactly what it was. He had already earned a couple of spots this summer for some local theater. So he really was doing well with that and just a freshman in high school. My father, i dont even know where to start. Im not sure ill ever be able to measure up to the man he was. Im certainly going to try. He absolutely was a faith and family first and thats not putting words to that. He absolutely was. He and my mother moved up here into kansas city to be closer to my sister and her husband and my brother and his wife and their children a few years ago, so they could be closer to grand irn whic children, do be involved in their daytoday activities. My father was still a practicing physician. As a matter of fact, he should have been seeing patients today. So, you know, he was robbed of that and people helping in his line of work were robbed of his Healing Hands and there are thousands of people all across, you know, oklahoma and the midwest and people whose lives that hes touched that ive heard from, that have been in touch with my mom and friends and family and the outpouring has been absolutely tremendous. My father leaves a huge legacy of community and of healing and its just unbelievable that al sensible, stupid act can cause so much hurt and grief and pain and while we mourn his loss and reats loss and certainly the other woman, we by no means want to discount in any way that, while we certainly mourn their loss, this week as it is easter week, holy week, were going to do our best to celebrate their life as best we can. Will corporon, god bless your family during these trying times. Thank you very much, jake. Not only was the suspect a member of the nazi party of america in the 1970s, he was founder of the carolina knights of the ku klux klan and later founded the White Patriot Party and spent three years in prison on weapons charges. He appeared on the howard stern show where they did not have to work hard to get him riled up. What is the biggest problem with the jews . They control the federal government. They control the mass media. They control the Federal Reserve bank. And with these powers, they are committing genocide against the white race. Lets bring in heidi. Frazier glenn cross has been on your groups radar for a long time. Tell me about that . Yes, weve been tracking him since the early 70s and the 80s. Hes a hardcore antisemite and white supremacist and basically his life work has been hating jews. We sued one of his groups for paramilitary activity and for harassing africanamericans back in the 80s. And in revenge for that, he actually targeted our founder, morris dees for assassination. Do you think he should be facing terrorism charges instead of just hate crime charges . I think thats a really good question, jake. Because the fact of the matter is, when we look at domestic terrorism in the United States over the last several years, most of the threat here is coming from white supremacist like cross or from people who really hate the government and i have a feeling that the charges would probably be more hefty or at least this incident would be described as domestic terrorism if it had been islamic extremism and we need to take these kinds of threats much more seriously. Because this really is terrorism. Frazier glenn cross spent his entire life trying to destroy minorities and jews. This was a political attack, just like an al qaeda attack would be. You sounded the alarm about this man for decades. Do you feel like Law Enforcement heeded your warning seriously . I dont think theres been enough emphasis on this particular threat. Weve been very critical of the department of homeland securitys intelligence efforts, for example, on this front and more needs to be done. The fact of the matter is, these domestic terrorists are hiding in plain sights on these forums. Hes been producing rants almost nonstop for a decade on a site with 12,000 posts and we should probably be spending more attention to people on these forums for the potential of violence, like what happened yesterday. Heidi, thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it. Coming up, the next phase in the search for flight 370 after days without any more pings, the investigation moves under water. Is the search small enough to find the black boxes . Plus, new details about the pilots copilot. It was turned on roughly a half hour after the planes last communication.

This is humira helping me lay the groundwork. This is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. Doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. Humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. Humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. Take the next step. Talk to your doctor. This is humira at work. A u. S. Official tells cnn that a cell phone tower may have actually detected the copilots cell phone around the time of disappearance. The official says there is no indication that the copilot was making a call but this could mean could mean that the plane was flying low enough to obtain a signal from a cell tower. Well explore that possibility with pamela brown. At the same time, investigators on australians ocean shield search are waiting to find out if a sample taken from an oil slick downwind of the search area is a match for flight 370. All of this while Sonar Technology on loan from the u. S. Navy has finally been deployed to scour the sea floor. Our rene marsh has all of the latest. Reporter a strategy shift in the search for flight 370s black boxes. Its time to go under water. Reporter and possible new evidence. An oil slick in the search vicinity. Well investigate those to the conclusion. Reporter its been six days since the last pings were detected in the south indian ocean. Searchers believe the pinger batteries are probably dead. So theyve retired the pinger locator and launched bluefin21. The underwater vehicle will skin the sea floor for wreckage. Ill caution you to not raise hopes that the deployment of the autonomous underwater vehicle will detect aircraft wreckage. It may not. Reporter bluefin is concentrating on a roughly 500square mile where the pings were detected. But the process is slow. It takes two hours to reach the ocean floor, 16 to scan the area, two hours to return, and about four hours to download data, which includes highresolution 3d maps like this. The other development, an oil slick discovered nearly 3 1 2 miles away. A sample was collected for testing. But if its believed the jet ran out of fuel, could the slick really be from flight 370 . It will be days before results are in. The surface search for debris continues more than 1300 miles northwest of perth. With 11 military aircraft, one civil aircraft and 15 ships. But this part of the search could wind down this week. The chances of any floating material being recovered have greatly diminished and it will be appropriate to consult with australias partner to decide the way ahead later this week. Reporter day 38, the first attempt at looking at the floor of the south indian ocean, what houston calls an area new to man. The ocean floor in this area is not sharply mountainous. Its more flat with rolling hills. Theres also a lot of silt on the bottom that can be layered and deep. Of course, that could complicate the search for wreckage. Jake . Thanks, rene. A lot of new developments. Lets bring in rob mccallum, david soucie, author of why planes crash. Rob, lets start with the bluefin21, this underwater drone of sorts. Even with a narrow search area, this is not going to be quick. Explain how the Bluefin Mission will work and if it captures something that could be the wreckage, how that data gets to those above the water. Lets ask that to david soucie. Well, im not sure im qualified to answer that with rob sitting here next to me. He seems more qualified to answer that question but as far as how it goes, its supposed to get down and get a swath but i understand that rob might have some questions about it. He knows something about the depth ability of that bluefin21 and weve been talking about some concerns we have about the ability to reach that depth. Let me ask you this, then, david. Do you think they waited too long to switch to the bluefin . You know, i was thinking that at first because i was real certain that that battery wasnt going to last more than 35 days and they kept going on day after day and i felt so empathetic for the families, trying to get some information. But after thinking about it some more, i can understand why Angus Houston did not want to he wanted to exhaust every possibility. So it didnt ever come back to him and say, you just didnt give it enough time. Hes doing this slowly and methodically and its frustrating. Its frustrating for us and those families but i think hes doing it the right way. David, there have also been discussions about whether they are going to continue the Aerial Search after the next few days. The planes looking for debris. At this point, i dont even know how many days were into it, 38 or Something Like that, do you think its useful at all . Do you think its possible that debris would be helpful so far after the incident . Well, it probably would be helpful but the primary clues in an accident like this is not from the floating debris. Its primarily used to get you to the accident site. So at this point i would find it justified to abandon the Aerial Search. What we do find is going to be so far spread, im not sure its going to give us much good and im very confident that they are going to find something below that with the bluefin and were going to be looking at wreckage and get some clues there. I think there will be plenty of clues down there at the ocean floor. The australians say this is all they have in terms of pings. The four pings and narrowed search area. I guess its possible that nothing is going to come of this search with the bluefin, even if it searches for months and months and months. Then what . Well, thats possible. But man, i dont know where you start then at that point. If theres nothing down there, you know, theyve exhausted so many different options, so many different capabilities, theyve extended the search to areas far beyond what we ever would have expected it to be. So if theres nothing down there, i think its time to go back and relook at the inmarsat data, possibly fly that route with another aircraft exactly and see if it really is that inmarsat data is accurate. There is data to go back to but i think this is the best shot and im still pretty confident that were in the right place. David soucie, thank you so much. Weve lost our signal with rob mccallum. Our apologies to him. When we come back, making a statement in the black sea. A russian fighter jet is getting really close to a u. S. Navy ship.

A russian fighter jet made a dozen lowaltitude passes over the uss donald cook in the black sea in what could be most direct confrontation between the United States and Russian Forces in years. The plane appeared to be unarmed but the pentagon is still calling the flyby provocative. Guess who was in kiev this weekend . John brennan. Thats what we have learned from jay carney. Meanwhile, the crisis on the ground threatens to spill over. Prorussia protesters, thats what were calling them now, have had control over the Police Headquarters and are refusing to blink as the ultimatum from the Ukrainian Government passes without apparent consequences. Nick paton walsh has been following all of this from donetsk, ukraine. It seems that they didnt have a lot of teeth. What is the situation where you are right now. Reporter youre right, jake. We are seeing minimal sign of the Ukrainian Government and Law Enforcement in this area at all. People in there are no longer worried about the siege at all. They said we saw a Ukrainian Military helicopter passover the center of donetsk and this held out by the interim president if the deadline for disarming wasnt met by the prorussian protesters. We have another one 48 hours ago which passed with an aborted attempt at a security operation to free the town of slovyansk where much of the violence has been focused. There are reports now, some on russian media, of Ukrainian Armor movements happening in this area but we have not seen any substantial efforts. A remarkable admission from the white house that cia director john brendan did in fact come to kiev. That will feed the russian claims that they are pushing extraordinarily hard for statebacked media, that somehow the west is fueling this, backing this when they say that russia is behind it. When you look at the coordination of what is happening here, there are no signs of russian involvement, something other than these local protests must be calling the shots here. Jake . Nic, this jet nearly buzzing a ship, do you think the area is getting ready for an armed confrontation . Reporter its a surreal time to be in ukraine. Ive been covering this for over a decade. Were seeing such tension being fermented here. The anger is quite remarkable. We have these 40,000 Russian Troops across the border and overshadowing everything here. If the Ukrainian Government moves in with any sort of force at all, everyone is very worried about the Ukrainian Government, damned if they do, damned if they dont. They may sway the territory here entirely and if they dont if they do move, they run the risk of the Russian Military coming in heavy handedly. Its a loselose and i dont know what nato can do either.

Innovation never felt so good. Welcome back to the lead. Its one of the first things were all told to do when we get on a plane, turn off our cell phones. But did the pilots from flight 370 do that, too . Pamela brown is joining me. Theres been reports that the pilot or copilots phone was on. What are your sources telling you . This based on data that was shared. Were learning that the copilot, the first officers cell phone was on and searching for Service Nearly half an hour after the planes communications mysteriously shut off. So were learning that this is unusu unusual, the fact that the phone was on. Its Standard Operating Procedure for crews to shut off their phones. The fact that the phone appeared to be on and appeared to connect with a secell tower in the area where the plane turned around, it tells that the phone was on and must have been supplying at a low enough altitude for the cell phone to connect with the cell tower. Theres no indication that an actual phone call was made. Does that mean that a call wasnt made or they dont know . They dont know. He could have attempted to make a phone call and just because there was communication between the tower and cell phone doesnt mean that he could have made a call that connected. The cell tower, as far as we know, only picked up the copilots cell phone, only picked up the copilots cell phone, which suggests that his was the only cell fophone actuay turned on and not on Airplane Mode. Do we know whether he turned it on and whether it was on the entire plane . Thats a good question. We dont know if he turned it on during the flight which, of course, would be telling if he did or if it was on from the moment the plane took off. So those are, of course, questions that the investigators are asking. Theyve searched passengers phone records and the crews records and no indication that a phone call was placed. If everybody was alarmed, a lot of phones would go on. We only know of this one . We only know of this one. Thats interesting. Its sort of curious, if you will, the fact that the cell tower only picked up one phone and if other phones were turned on, it likely would have picked up those phones as well. So why it was on, we just dont know. It doesnt tell us who was alive, who was dead and what the motive was but it certainly is curious. Interesting. Another data point. Pamela brown, thank you so much. Lets bring in our panel of experts. Keith is part of the u. S. Correspondent for four winds on consulting. Captain, i want to start with you. How unusual is it for a pilot to have his phone on in flight . Its pretty unusual but not heard of. Normally we have a four push check list which is the last check list that you do before you push the plane back. Thats normally the time that the pilots look at their phones and put them into Airplane Mode or turn them off. Every once in a great while youll see a guy that will forget to do that and keep his phone on and hell find his battery drained by the end of the flight. The way that you can find that out is you can tell which cell towers are listening to that phone and connecting with that phone during the taxi out and takeoff of the plane and that should be a fairly easy thing for the authorities to do as when the jet took off. They can tell when the airplane was cleared for takeoff on the runway. If cell phone towers were hitting on the phone at that point, he just left it on. If it was not being hit and he turned it on sometime during the night, that would be another clue. That might tell us something further down the road. Interesting. Keith, what do you think is the next logical step in this investigation . Well, i think, jake, what do we know . We know that the cell phone affiliation from penang correlates with the pings from the inmarsat. Those are things that we know. Things that we dont know, this odd sort of thing that no other planes were on the plane, 30 of people forget to turn on their phones or dont comply. In asia, you have an ov overproliferation. That seems odd to me. That sort of stands out here. What would it indicate to you . What would it suggest to you . I think weve got to see further investigation. Weve seen piece parts. Were seeing pieces of information come out over time. I think what were going to see as this Investigation Continues is dribs and drabs of information as they go back through the data and follow new leads. I would be surprised to learn that this is the only phone on. If the transponder stopped working due to a mechanical issue but the copilots phone would work, isnt it odd that he wouldnt have made a mayday phone call . There are many backup systems and communication Devices Available to the crew. You have to remember, they had two at least two operating independent radio or voice communication. They had one operating for acars communication and the transponder for radar signal and communication. And for all of those things to be shut out, to stop working means either a massive electrical failure, which is highly unlikely with an aircraft with that many backup systems or Something Else that we cant even imagine right now which really points to the fact that it is very important that we find this airplane because these are some clues that dont arent normally uncovered in the normal Safety Systems research that we do. Keith, how can investigators use this new information to piece together what happened . If you were in charge of the investigation, taking this data point, that the phone was on, what else would you now be looking for . Well, i would want to see the records from the phones that are associated with the other passengers on that manifest, as the pilot pointed out, were going to be able to see that. Those phones would be affiliated while it was taxing off outside from where it could communicate with the cell phone towers. That would tell us a little bit more about this idea that we have this single phone that affiliated. So that would be the first place id go. Keith, captain john, thank you so much for joining us. I hope that malaysian government officials heading this investigation are listening. Coming up, this just in, what do you say to another world leader after one of his military jets throws a little chin music at your ship in the ocean . Plus, responsible for writing the tax laws yet several members of the powerful house, ways and Means Committee have had tax problems themselves. Our cnn investigation is coming up. Welcome back to the lead, our money lead now. Tax day is tomorrow. I dont know if you need any reminding. But while americans are scrambling to find out that their 1099s are in order, you can expect the ways and Means Committee would know how not to run afoul of the irs. But as our own chris frates reports, some of the lawmakers continue to face tax problems of their very own. Reporter the powerful house ways and Means Committee is responsible for writing our nations tax laws but at least eight of the committees 39 members have faced tax problems of their own. Take new york congressman tom reed. Hes been late paying his property taxes not once, not twice, but 46 times since 2005. According to county records, he racked up more than 6200 in penalty and interest on more than 100,000 in taxes. On this stunning lakefront property and this corning home, reed missed a combined 16 tax payments in nine years. These four buildings had a total of 20 late payments in the past eight years and the list goes on. What happened . Why were you late on your taxes . Well, its just like a lot of people. These are things that just happen and they were paid in the allotted time. Reporter but reed is a member of congress writing our tax laws. This is Real Property tax bills which is different than what the ways and Means Committee does with income tax. Were paying them within the allotted time and thats it. Reporter reed likened to missing a utility bill, saying that while he was late and paid penalties because of it, the taxes never went unpaid. Its outrageous. Reporter steve ellis is with taxpayers for commonsense. Nobody wants to feel like a chump and if they see their tax payers are not paying their bills, its going to make them wonder why they are paying theirs. Reporter for years he fought state tax officials, refusing to pay 1. 4 million in backed income taxes, interest, and penalties. He designed requests for an interview. But the ohio tax commissioner disagreed writing in the ruling that his fellow republican failed to act in good faith. He finally paid his bill. Another, pat tiberi, instead of hiring employees for the 2008 and 2010 cam ppaigns, he hired consultants as independent contractors and avoided the payroll taxes. The republican said the practice was above board. And you feel like you followed the irs . Absolutely. We have a tax lawyer. Thats a reason why campaigns are so expensive. We have a cpa who does our filing, we have tax lawyers that are on call to make sure that we follow the letter of law. Reporter tax issues by other ways and means members run the gamut. Paul ryan had to pay a fine for understating his income to the mundane Indiana Republican todd young paid 1500 after a mortgage escrow mixup to the outrageous irs problems causing 2. 5 million for buchanan. And perhaps the largest was charlie rangel. He failed to pay taxes on his rental income from his swank villa in the dominican republic. We checked out every member of the committee, both democrats and republicans. And while some of these tax issues could happen to everybody, others are more egregious. The fact remains that 20 of the men and women in charge of writing the nationals tax laws have had tax problems themselves. Jake . Chris frates, thank you for that.

We learned that president obama and russian president Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone. The chat comes after the news that a russian jet reportedly flew way too close to a navy warship in the black sea, making a dozen low level passes on the uss donald cook. Senior White House CorrespondentMichelle Kosinski has more. What are we learning . Reporter we get a summary first from the white house and then the kremlin and their vastly differing accounts about what went on in that phone call. It almost seems like its an entirely different conversation. Thats what happened last time president obama and putin spoke on march 28th. This time we know that the phone call took place. Were just hearing the summary from the kremlin and they are saying that the protests that have been going on beyond crimea and into ukraine, as the kremlin puts it, the kievs authority inability and unwillingness to take into account the needs and and the russian speaking populations within that area. Blaming it on kiev, basically, saying that they havent done enough to cater to the people there and take their rights into account and the kremlin called americas use of the term meddling, accusing russia of meddling in ukraine, they called that inaccurate. And that the kremlin called on ukraine to craft a new constitution that would focus on those other populations within ukraine. Well, the u. S. Take we dont have the readout on the phone call just yet. We expect that very soon but the u. S. Is seeing this entirely differently and increasingly over the last couple of weeks, weve seen the Obama Administration use much stronger language in defining that situation. We havent seen additional action. In fact, today the press secretary was just barraged by questions from reporters as to why the u. S. Hasnt taken further action against russia because, you know, clearly the situation is escalating. In fact, we know that president putin spoke to president yolanda france today and the white house said that russia has been involved in a campaign to undermine and destabilize the Ukrainian Government. Thats pretty Strong Language and thats been continuing, jake. Michelles cou kosinski at th white house, thank you. Now i turn you over to wolf blitzer in the situation room.
