>> nancy, today the michigan state police had divers in that lake again. this is the lake that they were at last friday. last friday, they were only able to search the wooded area around the lake. today they got in the lake using very sophisticated side scan sonar looking for any piece of evidence that could link them to venus stewart and what might have happened to her. >> we are taking your calls live. very quickly to special guest joining us out of miami. jordan harvell, with underwater search and recovery. he is an expert. jordan, thank you for being with us. very quickly, to those unfamiliar with side scan sonar, explain what it is in a nutshell. >> well, side scan sonar sends out sound waves. when they bounce off objects, they create a shadow. these shadows are looked at by an interpreter on a monitor who determines what the object might be, a car, a boat, a tire or even a body. it's up to that interpreter to determine the best scenario to follow through with that information. >> jordan, sounds like a sonogram or ultrasound? >> very similar. it's just something that you place in the water that gives out the sound waves to the surrounding area and helps the divers to have a better location of the search. >> jordan, so side scan sonar works on sound waves, but it actually does create a picture of sorts, correct? >> correct. >> so police could see whether they are looking at a tree trunk or a tire off a car or a body, yes/no? >> yes. >> okay. generally speaking. everybody, we are taking your calls live. we are talking about missing mom, a gorgeous young mom. everyone absolutely adored her and most especially her two little girls who are in hiding tonight. venus rose stewart is just 32 years old. she goes out -- there she is. take a look. she goes out the front yard to the mailbox to mail a letter, 7:00 a.m., in her pajamas. she's never seen again. her two girls inside waiting on her to come back. you're seeing home video from doug stewart's myspace page, everybody. we obtained new video and we wanted to show it to you immediately in case anyone has seen her. tip line. 269-483-7611. so ellie, they are side scan sonar at adams lake. how far away is adams lake from the mailbox where mommy disappeared? >> well, nancy, as the crow flies it's only about a mile away. we're told this is a remote area. not easy to find, not easy to get to. then actually from the house to the edge of the lake there could take you up to 20 minutes to get there by the access roads. >> also with us tonight john mcneill, news director, wkzo news radio, joining us from kalamazoo. john, what's the latest and searching those two vehicles that belong to the estranged husband? >> apparently they've dispatched a state police forensics team to virginia to go over those vehicles. they are currently in the possession of the newport news police, and they will be spending who knows how long going through the two vehicles looking for whatever they can find that might lead them to suspect the car or the truck had been driven to michigan. >> with us, john mcneill, from michigan. and with us tonight, special guest, taking your calls, therese mccomb. this is venus' mother. ms. mccomb, thank you for being with us. first of all, before i even talk about venus, how are the little girls doing tonight? i know you're in touch with them almost every hour. >> they're doing good. they're as good as they can be. they want to know where their mother is. they love her. they're hurt. she's their whole world. i don't know what they're going to do. i don't know what's going to happen. >> after police dusted for prints, she had hard-soled slippers on and there were prints from her slippers. on the side of the propane tank. like somebody picked her up and she was kicking against the tank to get away. what did we make better ?

>> i don't know how that was possible. i think -- i don't know how. i can't answer that because i really don't understand that. >> i think it was sheer luck. i wonder if he wasn't just planning on breaking into the house and taking her. >> the mother to 3 and 5-year-old girls vanishes. venus' parents say she loved being a mom and would never, ever leave her children. perhaps even more disturbing, venus wearing only pajamas and slippers. venus' estranged husband douglas stewart named a person of interest because of an alleged rocky marriage. allegations of abuse made by both parents. venus just winning temporary custody of her 3 and 5-year-old daughters. >> she was the best mommy in the world. and i know she would never leave on her own. there's no way she would ever leave on her own. >> as we go to air tonight, side scan sonar is searching adams lake. it's a body of water about 20 minutes, about 20 miles away from the home where mommy disappeared. after much estrangement between her and her husband -- they're in the midst of a divorce -- mommy had moved home with her two little girls with her mother and father, the girls ages 3 and 5. she had told people she feared for her life. then in the morning, 7:00 a.m., all of us have gone out to the mailbox early in the morning before. mommy is apparently kidnapped after a struggle, an intense struggle at the family's mailbox in broad daylight. is it true nobody saw a thing? out to john mcneill, wkzo news radio, kalamazoo. john, i understand that now we've got tire tread marks in the field where a neighbor says she sees a pickup truck, a crew cab pickup truck, with a white male crouched beside it around 7:00 a.m. that morning. catty-corner to the family home. do you know about the tread marks? >> i would assume that they've taken molds or plaster casts of those tracks and they're probably flew them to virginia, too, to see if they could match them up with the tires that are on the truck right now. that would be my assumption. it depends on the quality of the tread marks that were left, of course, and whether or not they can match them up. >> what do you know, ellie? >> nancy, actually, in that search warrant that we obtained yesterday, police said that they had taken pictures of the tread on doug stewart's truck in virginia, but they wanted the physical tire, itself, to match that to those tread marks they found at the scene. >> everybody, we are taking your calls live. to therese mccomb, this is venus stewart's mother. miss mccomb, what are police telling you? i know that specialized crime scene techs are on their way from michigan to virginia to comb those two vehicles. what are police telling you tonight? >> they don't tell us a whole lot. they sort of keep us in the dark. i mean, i don't know if it's to protect their case or what, but we sit by the phone waiting for answers all the time, hoping, praying that just something will change. we don't understand a lot of things. we just don't understand why he -- he won't talk to police. he never talked to the police. but now he's talking to the press. i don't understand that. and why couldn't they find the vehicles before? >> i went to the neighbor's house across the street and asked them if they'd seen my daughter. she said, no, she hadn't seen her. i came back in the house and i called 911 because i knew what happened. today's going to be a good day. a day filled with promise and opportunity. regions is lending providing capital to help your small business, large companies, and our communities grow. and strengthening our neighborhoods with mortgage, home equity and personal loans. responsible lending means brighter days ahead. let regions help you find the perfect loan for what you need in business. and in life. regions. regions. it's time to expect more. gaue grmatains heyesy.rc g cops searching a local lake for evidence. >> mommy goes to the mailbox in her pajamas. she's never seen alive again. >> i was still in bed sleeping. i heard the kids getting really loud, and i thought, why is venus letting those kids be so loud when she knows i'm in here sleeping? and i got up to chew her out, and she was gone. >> what did the kids tell you? >> they told me that mommy went outside. so i went outside. she wasn't there. >> it's almost too much to take in. you go to the mailbox to mail a letter in the front yard and all that's left behind is signs of a struggle. we are taking your calls live. to jane in virginia. hi, jane. >> caller: hi, nancy. how are you this evening? >> i'm good, dear. what's your question? >> caller: my question is having been a felony court reporter in charlottesville for many years and having seen many restraining orders issued against people, you get a sense of the ones that are more serious than others. and my question is how come there can't be more done to protect the ones that appear to be really genuinely more serious than others? i know that they can't have around the clock police protection for all the restraining orders issued. it's just not that many police available, but there are cases that you can tell, you know, that this is serious, but yet, you know -- that piece of paper is not going to stop a lot of people. and it doesn't. >> jane, jane in virginia, you as a court reporter have seen it all. >> caller: yes, ma'am. too much. i'm out of it. >> some of my best friends i've ever had have been my court reporters during all those trials when i was a prosecutor. hey, jane in virginia, look what i've got in my hand. look at this. this is all the police work on all the tros back and forth that was filed in this case. you know, i don't understand why it's the way it is. pat brown, weigh in. >> i have a problem with this, too, nancy. i think that when you have a restraining order that's about violence, it should be very clear. you cannot contact in any way, shape or form or you go right to jail. we don't have that. >> pat, there are always typically men that a restraining order isn't worth the paper it's written on to them. they will break it. >> that is true. and if you've got that kind, what i say to women is you can't be alone even for one minute. we've seen this with venus. even to go out to the mailbox. don't be alone. police using side scan sonar equipment, searching a local [] bobby sinclair. trugreen's taught me a lot. like how every lawn is different. some people want a place to play... others, a place to chill. yo, b. but i've learned from trugreen if you treat every lawn special, the sky's the limit. i'm gonna go public next summer. what's crackin, baby?! bobby!

>> they were in the front room of my house. and i was sleeping in my bedroom. like 20 feet away. >> is there any way they could have seen what happened? >> no. >> not the way our house sits. we have no windows on that side of our house. all of our windows face down toward the river. and they were in the front room on the river side. she told me earlier she was going to go mail a letter, she needed to mail a letter. but she should have told her father when she went out. >> we are taking your calls live. out to therese mccomb, this is venus' mother. miss mccomb, where does the estranged husband say that he was when venus was kidnapped from the mailbox? >> he claims to be in virginia, but the whole day -- see, he calls every day because he was ordered -- he could call us every day once a day to talk to the children. but on that day, he never called. that's the only day he's missed is the day that venus came up missing. >> ms. mccomb, how long has he had that phone visitation? and is it always at the same time of the day? >> no. it was -- i think he was just told he could call once a day. and it was at a time where she was giving -- where she was given custody of the children. >> yes. >> and they told him all he had was the privilege of calling them on the phone. he had no -- >> so miss mccomb, did he call at the same time of the day or night every day? >> pretty much. >> what time? >> about 8:00. >> 8:00 p.m. >> yes. >> 8:00 p.m. so how many days did he call -- i mean, how long has he been calling like this? >> since the day that we went to court and they gave him the right to call us. and that's -- >> so the day that your daughter venus is kidnapped in her pajamas, 7:00 in the morning at the mailbox, that's the only day he has failed to call his daughters? >> right. and he's still calling our house. i don't talk to him. i just pick the phone up and put it down. >> okay. how far away is his apartment? how many hours is it away from you in michigan? >> i've never droven there myself, but i've heard it's like ten hours. >> okay. now, he says, miss mccomb, that he has two eyewitnesss that will place him in virginia, right? >> right. >> okay. who are they? who are these eyewitnesses? >> i have no idea. >> okay. let me go back to the reporters. to you, ellie jostad, where does he say he was? it's nine hours away. >> he does indeed say he was in newport news, virginia. he says he has two witnesses that know he was there. he hasn't told us who those witnesses are, but he says two witnesses that have talked to police that can verify that he was there in newport news. >> did he agree to talk to any producers on our show, ellie? >> he's spoken on the phone with our producers. >> but he wouldn't tell who the alibi witnesses are. >> right, he wouldn't give those names. >> would he give us a specific, like, i was out at a bar having a drink, or i was at denny's having a grand slam at 7:00 in the morning, or i was at work? >> no, do not have that specific information. >> okay. got it. back to miss mccomb, what does he do for a living? >> he's a truck driver. >> so he sets his own schedule. >> yes. >> so he doesn't have to punch a clock or be anywhere at any particular time, yes/no? >> well, yeah -- well, he's a -- he delivers food service like to restaurants and stuff. so yes, he has to be pretty much on schedule or they want to know where he's at. i worked in restaurants all my life, yeah. >> unless he has somebody else make those deliveries for him. right? >> possibly. >> do you know was he working the day your daughter went missing? >> no, i don't know that. >> okay. let's go out to paul penzone, director of prevention programs, childhelp.org. former sergeant phoenix pd. paul, what do you make of this? number one, i would check the e-z passes, that's what they call them in some states, the tolls between virginia and michigan. and i would immediately get every single photograph, put an apb on both of these vehicles to see if he traveled back and forth. but people these days are not idiots. all right? you know that there is video and camera surveillance all along the interstates now. >> absolutely. you know, we educate them oftentimes too much, to our detriment, but you're looking at a pretty broad timeframe. at least 20 hours of travel. then if he's the one, conducting some surveillance before he actually abducted her. you don't need to be a witness to the crime at the scene, you can be a witness prior to the crime or after, and that's critical to finding out who's responsible. the public needs to pay attention to those detail. those areas of travel will have some type of surveillance or methods of technology that can help identify where he was if he was involved in this. >> okay. dana, point well taken, paul penzone. put up the map. we're talking about rural michigan to virginia. this would have been the route. he says he has two eyewitnesss. then why have police named him a person of interest? unleash the lawyers. randy kessler, defense attorney atlanta. alan ripka, defense attorney, new york. randy kessler, don't you think if he didn't have anything to hide he would be cooperating fully and be open about where he was? i know where i was this morning at 7:00 a.m. i know exactly where i am every morning at 7:00 a.m. >> the best decision he made was to get a lawyer. he's been through three restraining orders. divorce. i'm sure his lawyer says keep it under wraps and we'll talk privately. >> put kessler up. they have two little girls in common, ages 3 and 5. kessler, i happen to know that you and ripka have children. so even if you are estranged from your wife, it is the mother of your children. don't you think that you would want to fully cooperate in finding the mother? your children's mother? as opposed to lawyering up? i mean, why wouldn't he tell our show where he was? why wouldn't he say, i was at denny's having a grand slam? i was at mcdonald's having an egg mcmuffin? i mean, why couldn't he tell us that? >> one doesn't exclude the other. you don't have to not hire a lawyer to find your children. certainly when you are the person that's going to be looked at, when you have this family violence issue and you are the sole suspect you need a lawyer. >> alan ripka, to me that's all the more reason you want to put it out there and rule yourself out immediately so cops can focus on the correct perpetrator. >> well nancy, what's amazing here, the person who did this would have had to have been outside the house surveying the house. it's unlikely that her husband would be out there for hours hoping she walked out to the mailbox just in time to kidnap her. >> really? >> more likely someone driving by. >> you think so? >> yeah. >> because ellie jostad, what exactly did the neighbor see? >> well, nancy, there was a neighbor who said -- and this is a neighbor who lives about 1,000 feet away from the home where she was abducted. she says that she saw a white male crouching behind a light-colored four-door pickup truck, and she says that she looked again five minutes later, the truck was gone. >> to debbie in wyoming. what's your question, dear? >> caller: hi, nancy. how are you tonight? >> i'm good, dear. >> caller: i just want to let you know my mom hair yet crystal and i never miss your show and we think you're awesome. >> thank you, debbie. i've been to wyoming a couple of times. in of the prettiest country in the world. you're blessed. >> caller: it is. >> what is your question, love? >> caller: and i feel that way. you know, i have questions, but it just breaks my heart to hear those parents and i just can't do it, so i just want to send our prayers out to them and tell them that we're praying every day that she comes home to her two children. >> therese mccomb and her husband, i know, appreciate that. everyone, we're taking your calls live. as we go to break, we remember two fallen heroes killed in the line of duty. nevada officer ian deutch, and louisiana officer j.r. searcy, both serving afghanistan, both canine officers. 27-year-old ian deutch, gunned down during a domestic dispute in front of the lakeside casino. deputy searcy just finishing a 12-hour shift, shot to death after volunteering to back up another deputy on a call. he also saved the life of a mother of three donating his organs. deutch leaves behind grieving widow vicky, children savannah and john. searcy leaves behind grieving widow carrie, children justin, megan, nick. deputy ian deutch and deputy j.r. searcy. good night, friends. relief orthotics. scholl'n with shockguard technology give you immediate relief that lasts all day long. dr. scholl's. pain relief is a step away. welcomerewards from hotels.com. see when i accumulate 10 nights, i get one free. and...they let me choose where to use them. the loyalty program he signed us up for has all these restrictions, blackout dates, a crazy point system... and we couldn't stay here. so what am i getting for free?

>> well, nancy, as you know, because the warrant returns are now sealed, i can't specifically talk about the items that were recovered incident to that search warrant. i will tell you that the computer that was taken from her has been recovered by the police. and, of course, that computer will undergo the appropriate forensic analysis to try to see if there's any information that might be relevant and material to this case on that computer and be helpful to the prosecution. >> the reason i'm asking, chief, and i know you've already read my mind is that i see this case as ripe for some type of a mental insanity defense and if someone comes into your home and attacks you and then has the wherewithal about themselves to steal your computer and then try to dispose of it or hide it, that certainly shows that they were well aware of what was happening at the time in and around the attack. of course, a suspect's behavior immediately after the incident is also probative or proves something at trial. i know chief timothy longo, that you know that only too well. chief, i'm very disturbed about something. i don't even know if the cops were called about this. number one, i understand that back in 2008, the suspect, a star lacrosse player at uva, you can't get any more upper crest than uva, except, i don't know, maybe if you go to harvard or yale, chief. but a star athlete. the suspect in this case, the potential killer, actually attacked a female cop in 2008 using sexual and racial slurs and fought her so hard she had to taser him. is that true, chief? >> well, i've been made aware of that incident. i was not aware of it other than media accounts that came to my attention over the last couple days. i did speak with the chief of police of lexington, which is about an hour and a half from here. he confirmed that the incident took place. i wouldn't be appropriate for me to talk about his case, but i do know that he has fielded many media inquiries about it. we're concerned that that also occurred. certainly now it's come to our attention and we'll give us the merit and value it's certainly due as this moves forward. >> chief, of course, at your level, dealing with mostly with homicides and felonies, i doubt you would know about what was then pled down. matt zarrell, what did he get in that case? what happened in that? let me guess. he got bailed out. it was brushed under the rug and he got a light sentence. >> he pled guilty to public intoxication, resisting arrest, he got a 60-day suspended jail sentence. >> so nothing. suspended. >> suspended six months of probation and 50 hours community service. 20 hours of alcohol counseling. he completed all of that in a timely fashion. >> i tell you what, when i was a prosecutor, chief longo, you so much as spit at a cop and you would do jail time. oh, yes, much less fighting with a lady officer to where she had to taser you to get you calmed down? if that's true, then yeardley love never stood a chance. if this is the right perpetrator and by his own words, it is. chief timothy longo, this is a guy that had it all, the best clothes, the best education, went to the logan school. i learned last night some fancy boarding school where rich kids go. had it all. is it true -- this is what's disturbing me -- that just before this incident he, the suspect, george huguely, tried to attack the victim in public? >> that is among -- that's one of many such allegations that investigators are probing as they interview friends and teammates. you know, we don't have police records of these incidents. >> right. so that means they didn't call police, right, chief? they didn't call police, did they? >> that's correct. to my knowledge there were no police reports filed. i understand as we get this information about these incidents we'll go back to look if calls for service were made but there were no police reports. >> what do you make of it dr. jeff gardere? >> this george huguely is a person with rage issues and alcoholism in his background. dangerous individual.
