let's talk about what is still happening in the gulf. engineers are still trying to slow down that oil leak in the gulf of mexico. so now that we're on the, i don't know, plan c or d now, they are inserting a tube into the broken well head to seal it off. if that works they'll be able to siphon off some of the oil pouring into the gulf. how big is the leak? the oil company bp estimates 200,000 gallons of crude are spewing out of the well every day. a purdue university professor thinks that number is low. after analyzing bp's video of the leak, he puts it at more like 2 million gallons a day. bp, though, is standing by its estimate. >> maybe they are thinking about measure in terms of, you know, how many gallons you put into your car. you measure that to three digits of precision on the gas pump. we're not anywhere near that. the 70,000 barrels a day is strictly an estimate with this plus or minus 20% uncertainty on it. you know, so the fact that you can't measure it to a high degree of accuracy doesn't mean that you can't do a very good estimate of it. and that's what i've done. >> there's only two things we can actually -- we actually know for certain. one is we can watch the flow coming out of that pipe. the stuff you've seen in the video and we know that basically, it's been pretty constant over this time period since the beginning. we've watched it from the start. the other thing we know for certain is what we see on the surface of the sea and we know when we have good weather and can apply all our techniques, we can shrink the size of this spill. and i think based on those two things, is why we think it's somewhere around that number. we've said from the beginning, it's highly uncertain tee exact number. >> the spill now covers an area larger than yellowstone national park. skimmers have captured as much as 4 million gallons of oil contaminated water. another woman is coming forward with accusations against director roman polanski. he is currently fighting extradition to california to be sentenced in a 33-year-old sex case. right now, he's living under house arrest in switzerland. back in 1978, the academy award-winning director pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. after a judge said he would renege on a promised sentence agreement, polanski took off to france. the exact nature of the new allegations not really clear. the woman and her attorney gloria allred will release the details as a news conference in about an hour and a half from now. dramatic jailhouse phone recordings may shed light on what happened to a missing florida girl. we're talking about haleigh cummings. misty croslin was babysitting at the time. her brother tommy is cooperating with investigators in that case as he waits to be tried on drug charges. his attorney is now released recordings of a phone call between croslin and his grandmother, flo hollars. during the call, he implicates his cousin, joe overstreet in haleigh's disappearance. listen. >> gym uft scared. i don't want no one to hurt my kids. >> i know it. i know it. oh, my god. she says is it you or is it somebody else? >> no, it's not me. no she, should know that. >> he says, no, it's not him. >> an hln's "issues" host jane velez-mitchell asked a criminal defense attorney about that recording. >> what are the significance of these tapes? >> they could be huge. they could be used, first of all, by law enforcement to get people talking. that's really why. we want to find out what happened. now what's great is that they all have these charges bending against them. within florida, minimum mandatory draconian -- what i believe is draconian, minimum mandatory prison sentences. so their lawyers are telling them, there's overwhelming evidence. your only way out is to cooperate. maybe they'll reduce what kind of time you are looking at. sounds like the house of cards are crumbling. >> tommy croslin's attorney says his client's cooperation prompted police to search the st. john's river. remember that happened last month. that should earn him a reduced sentence on the drug charge. no body was found during that search. so is haleigh's father ron cummings, the next person looking for a plea deal in exchange for information about his own daughter. jane velez-mitchell talks to tommy croslin's daughter tonight on "issues" at 7:00 on hln news and views. a convicted child molester is headed back to prison. this time it will be forever. 31-year-old john gardner will be sentenced for raping and killing two california teens. under a plea deal, he will not get the death penalty, but he'll serve life without the possibility of parole. one of his victims was 14-year-old amber dubois. for amber's mom, today's sentencing could not come soon enough. >> i just did what i had to do to have closure. >> do you really have closure or do you just have answers. >> i really have closure. i really do. >> really?

claims to protect students from being taught resentment toward a particular race or class of people. but i don't think that's the intention. the big elephant in the room here is immigration. let's be

case. nathan said he beat his stepson for several days before he died sunday and the boy's mother did nothing to stop it. sloop used a hammer to smash the dead boy's face and teeth to make it almost impossible to i.d. the body. that body was found tuesday wrap inn in garbage bags. the news conversation is about to begin. we'll hear from the division chief. >> we thank you all for coming today. we would like to introduce some people behind me. this is troy rollins, the davis county attorney experienced prosecutor and the lead prosecutor on this investigation. chief keifer from the police department, commanding his staff and others who have worked on this difficult investigation. they managed to have a professional meaner and worked hard over the last several days. we have dave webb, the lead investigator from our office. he's also a member of the davis county's child abduction response team that was activated after we received the first phone call that ethan had walked away from his apartment. craig has been on the scene since then and been deeply involved in the original search for the child. then afterwards in the investigation of his death. i'm david cole, from the criminal division and been asked to prosecution in any charges that result in this investigation. we're deeply sorry for ethan's fami family's loss. no family should be required to bury a child and we mourn with them. we appreciate the comments that we've received from hundreds of citizens, offers of condolences for the family and requests for information, offers of assistance in the investigation. and we are grateful for that outreach from the community to us. the extent permitted, we would like this process as transparent as possible. we would like to make sure that any subsequent prosecution that results is also transparent but we are con strained by ethical rules of conduct. some things we can and can't talk about. we're also concerned for the privacy of ethan's privacy and his memory. with that explanation and the reminder that citizens, including both the sloops, are entitled to a presumption of innocence until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. i would like to turn it over to mr. rollins. >> folks, it's the intept of the davis county attorneys office to file the most serious charges and seek the maximum penalties that the facts in law will allow us to do against nathan and stephanie sloop in the death of ethan stacy. we believe there's probable cause that both suspects in this case committed the crime of aggravated murder in connection with the death of 4-year-old ethan stacy. as we sit here this morning and speak to you, the status of the case has changed a little bit. currently both stephanie and nathan are being held in the davis county jail without bail per su pursuant to a stipulation by defense counsel that our office has probable cause to continue to hold them and further the investigation that needs to be done on the crimes of aggravated murder and other felony charges that we are investigating we'll be pursuing at the appropriate time. i'll address that in a little bit about further the status of the case, where we're at and where it's going and give you a road map as best i can this morning. i want to make a few statements first though. last week, a lot of you like a lot of us in davis county were going about our business, doing our jobs, taking care of our families and interacting with our kids, soccer games, those sort of things getting ready for mother's day weekend. while that is happening, for the majority of our community we have a 4-year-old little boy who came to us from the east, who was being abused. there is evidence of that abuse. and that abuse, we believe the evidence is ultimately going to lead to the conclusion caused the death of this young man. because that happened, now it's the responsibility of the davis county attorney's office, the medical examiners office and other agencies who have been involved. there's been approximately at least around 50 officers or so from various agencies i've been told involved with this case, including the medical examiner's office. that's a key component. particularly the la tent city department and our chief bureau dave webb who was called out thinking we had a possible child abduction or lost child situation. i want to say this, i have to comment the city police department and terry keifer in the expeditious manner in which there was a resolution to the whereabouts unfortunately of the corpse of this young man. it took place in lightning speed and i think it's due to the professionalism and confidence of the police department. i want to give you one example -- >> they are giving deep background of a case that evolved this past week. his body was found brutalized, his mother and stepfather reported him missing. that story unraveled quickly and they've been charged with aggravated murder without bail as you just heard. the little boy had been sent to utah by a judge in virginia. it was his time to go with his mother. his real father lives in virginia. during that very brief period, according to authorities, he was among other things locked in his room as his mother and stepfather are being married. he was brutalized in a bathtub. he was disfigured so he would be hard to i.d. and wrapped in plastic and put in that canyon. ethan stacy is dead and two people are accused of killing him. nathan sloop and stephanie sloop recently married in utah. they appear in court for the first court appearance at the bottom of the hour. we'll bring you the results of that. we've learned more arrests, this time in pakistan in the ongoing case of the times square bomb plot probe. a senior official says two people were taken into custody. they are suspected to help finance the plot. all of this comes only a day after three people are arrested here in the u.s. in different northeastern states. attorney general eric holder say they are connected to faisal shahzad. it's believed they got money to him, all three of those arrested yesterday are from pakistan where shahzad was born. the men arrested yesterday did give him money, though they may not have known how it would be spent. a convicted child molester is headed back to prison. this time it will be forever. john gardner will be

confronted her daughter's killer by phone. she will get another chance to speak to him today when she makes a victim's impact statement at his sentencing. she says she doesn't know what she's going to say. >> any of these people that go around murdering children and murdering adults, i mean to hear that they make the whole family suffer, i would think they are sick enough to do what they do, why wouldn't it give them pleasure to hear how they hurt the family? >> she also said the entire process of speaking to gardner has given her closure. >> i did what i had to do to have closure. >> do you really have closure? >> i really have closure. i really do. yeah. and it's 15 months today and can sleep at night. you know, so -- i can move forward. >> she says amber's father doesn't know what she

bp estimates 200,000 gallons of spewing out every day. a purdue professor says it's way too low. after analyzing the video he puts at the time at 2 million gallons a day. bp is standing by its measurement. >> maybe they are thinking about how many gallons you put into your car. we're not anywhere near that. the 70,000 barrels a day is strictly an estimate, with this plus or minus 20% uncertainty on it. so the fact that you can't measure it to a high degree of accuracy doesn't mean you can't do a very good estimate of it. that's what i've done. >> there's only two things we actually know for certain. one is we can watch the know coming out of the pipe. and we know it's been pretty constant over this time period since the beginning. we've watched it from the start. the other thing for certain is what we see on the surface of the sea. we do know when we have good weather and we can apply our techniq techniques, we sh shrink the size of the spill. based on those two things is why we think it's around that number. but it's highly uncertain the exact number. it covers an area larger than yellowstone national park. they have captured 4 million gallons of contaminated water. a routine traffic stop, find out why a college student ended up in jail and could get kicked out of the country.

>> the victim impact statement from the family members. it will be a time that john albert gardner can speak to the court for mercy. there will be more mercy because this is a plea deal. you talk about a sentencing. remember, there's one living victim in all of this. a young woman out of colorado that got away. she has a right to make a statement today as a victim. >> and the chelsea king murder, actually sparked an initiative for a new law in california for stricter punishments on the child predator. >> and is it gaining momentum. let's show what chelsea's law entails. it strengthens the penalties for those convicted of forceable sex crimes against children. there's a one strike provision. it puts attackers behind bars for life without parole. and lifetime parole and gps monitoring. how did this come about?

>> there is so much conflicting nfth information. at up with point he was convicted for a six-year prison sentence. he was let out after five. when he was convicted the sis psychiatrist said he should get the maximum sentence because he can't be rehabilitated. but the way the system works they let him out early for good behavior. not only that, and this is where chelsea's law comes into play, he was living within less than a half mile of a san diego school. and they didn't find out until one or two years later. >> he wasn't supposed to be where he was. >> not at all. but he leased a place. once they found out about it they let him keep the lease and they forgot to follow up on him. >> if chelsea's law were in place earlier this year, would he have been a free man? >> i don't believe so. and you can't know for sure because the idea of chelsea's law is it does establish life sentences for certain convictions. i'm not sure his would have applied. but chelsea's law also requests that certain people victimed of this kind of crime have lifetime monitoring. >> obviously amber dubois's father is very upset. he says he hopes the jail system administers justice. during the course of an impact statement, can the judge stop him if he gets too specific? >> he can. i don't think he would. i think he's going to let him have his time because this is the last time the people who have been victimized by this man get to say their piece. >> is the plea deal in place for john gardner unusual in any sense? >> it's not because in a sense the justice system wants closure. prosecutors want closure. police want closure. sometimes they will say if you show us where these young girls are so their families can have closure, we will take it off the table, but he will never get out of jail the way his plea deal works. >> as always, thanks. appreciate it. charges are pending against a couple accused of beating a 4-year-old boy to death and disfiguring his body with a hammer to prevent his being identified. stephanie sloop and her new husband nathan were set to appear in court today, but a davis county prosecutor in utah says they're not ready yet to file charges. the prosecutor says those charges will be filed after the evidence is processed. >> there are three potential penalties under utah law for aggravated murder. if it's pursued as a capital homicide, the potential penalty is death. if it's pursued as a noncapital first-degree yet still an aggravated murder, the potential penalties are life in prison without the possibility of parole or 20 years to life with the possibility of parole. so three potential penalties all for the same crime, and where one of them is potentially death and another one life without parole, we don't want to make any mistakes in our charging decision, and we're not going to file charges before all of our ducks are in a row and we're ready to go. >> according to police, nathan sloop told officers he beat his stepson for several days before he died sunday and the boy's mother did nothing to stop him or get him help. detectives also say nathan sloop used a hammer to smash the boy's face and disfigure it to make it impossible to identify the body. the body was found tuesday wrapped in garbage bags, plastic bags, in a utah canyon. a british actress is accusing director roman polanski of sexual assaulting her when she was 16, back in 1982. charlotte lewis made the allegation today along with her attorney gloria allred. she said the assault took place while they were filming "pirates." she said it happened four years after polanski fled the u.s. before he could be sentenced for intercourse with a 14-year-old girl. >> i came forward because i heard roman polanski is fighting his return for the united states facing sentencing for his previous crime against a 13-year-old victim and that his legal team is portraying his previous offense as an isolated instance. i am also a victim of roman polanski. he sexually abused me in the worst possible way when i was just 16 years old. four years after he fled the united states to avoid sentencing for his crime. in addition to the fact that both myself and his previous victim were underage, i believe that there are other similarities in the crimes that he committed. it is very important that the district attorney and the swiss authorities be armed with this information as they decide mr. polanski's fate. i have traveled to the united states at my expense to make sure that justice is finally done and that mr. polanski gets what he deserves. mr. polanski knew that i was only just 16 years old when he met me and forced himself upon me in his apartment in paris. he took advantage of me and i have lived with the effects of his behavior ever since it occurred. all i want is justice. >> no response from polanski who is under house arrest in switzerland fighting extradition to california for sentencing in that 33-year-old sex case involving a 13-year-old girl. we're getting a first look at footage from nearly five decades ago just before president john f. kennedy was killed. find out where the film has been all these years. and sleepless, there's new motrin pm. no other medicine, not even advil pm, is more effective for pain and sleeplessness. new motrin pm. itenil iecoee.

i said, yeah, so i brought her over to my desk, and i dialed the number, gave her the phone, and, you know, i didn't know if someone was chasing her, and she kind of just mentioned there's a scary man. >> just before she was reunited with her family in glendale, she admitted to police she made the whole thing up. she said she ran away because she couldn't face her parents and tell them she had dropped out of ucla two years earlier. they were planning her graduation party. dramatic jailhouse phone recordings may shed more light on what happened to a missing florida girl. 5-year-old haleigh cummings disappeared in february 2009. misty croslin was babysitting at the time. kr croslin's brother tommy is cooperating. his attorney released recordings of a phone call between croslin and his grandmother, and during the call implicates his cousin joe overstreet in the disappearance of haleigh cummings. >> i'm just scared. i don't want no one to hurt my kids. >> i know it. i know it. oh, my god. she says is it you or is it somebody else?

the oil company, bp, estimates 200,000 gallons of crude are spewing out every day. a purdue professor says the number is way too low. after analyzing bp's video of the leak, he puts it at more than 2 million gallons a day. bp is standing by its estimate. >> maybe they're thinking of measure in terms of how many gallons you put into your car. we're not anywhere near that. the 70,000 barrels a day is strictly an estimate with this plus or minus 20% uncertainty on it. you know, so the fact that you can't measure it to a high degree of accuracy doesn't mean that you can't do a very good estimate of it, and that's what i have done. >> there's only two things we can actually -- we actually know for certain. one is we can watch the flow coming out of that pipe, the stuff you have seen in the video, and we know that basically it's been pretty constant over this time period since the beginning. we watched it from the start. the other thing we know for certain is what we see on the surface of the sea, and we do know when we have good weather and we can apply all of our techniques, we can shrink the size of this spill, and i think based on those two things is why we think it's somewhere around that number but we've said from the beginning it's highly uncertain the exact number. >> the spill covers an area larger than yellowstone national park. we have learned more arrests in the times square bomb plot probe. this time in pakistan. a senior military official is quoted as saying two people were taken into custody suspected of helping to finance the plot. this comes a day after three people in the u.s. were arrested. eric holder said they're connected to the main suspect in the failed times square bombing, 30-year-old faisal shahzad. eric holder says it's believed they got money to him. all three of those arrested yesterday are from pakistan where shahzad was born. authorities tell the ap the ones arrested yesterday gave him money but they may not have known how it would be used. president obama's new supreme court nominee is winning over some skeptical senators, including a couple of republicans. yesterday elena kagan met with senator scott brown, the massachusetts freshman republican. says she made it clear to him she supports the military in spite of her move to bar recruiters from harvard's campus because of the don't ask, don't tell policy. after their private meeting main gop senator susan collins said she doesn't have any concerns about kagan's experience. the support of those two, brown and collins, would be enough to ensure her confirmation. should a georgia honor student be allowed to graduate or should she be deported asap?

>> caller: you know, everything she did was based on a lie. i think they should -- i don't know what's going to happen because she's got her supporters but if you're asking my opinion, i would say she should leave, you know, pay the consequences as far as she's got a ticket, she's got to pay the ticket. >> thanks. comments from facebook. rodney writes this, i'm all for people trying to better themselves, but we have to draw the line somewhere and soon. if she really wants to continue her education, become a legal citizen. and if not, go back to mexico. make things better there with the education she got here. jessica says, take some loser the same age as her out of jail and send him back to mexico. we could even spend the tax dollars that were going to feed and house the criminal to go toward her college. stephanie writes, it's done, let her graduate. she's on honor student. she lived here like a citizen most of her life. she could do good things and it wouldn't make sense to blame her for something her parents did long ago. mallory says i agree with many of the people here. she's doing more than most american college-age students are trying to do. i do disagree that she should have to pay the money back. it obviously went to good use. let her take the citizenship test and i'm sure she'll pass with flying colors. don't punish her for her parents trying to give her a better life even if they did it illegally. brenda said, she knew she was an illegal and took a spot at that college away from that citizen. she should be deported and if she wants to cam baome back andn to follow the law. she got in-state tuition rates. do you think a person like this should get that kind of a break?

>> well, this is another one of those news conferences that gloria allred's office in beverly hills that i have attended where in the past it's been a tiger woods alleged mistress or even his kindergarten teacher, but today it was charlotte lewis who when she was 16, about 1982 or '83, we don't know quite the year. she was cast in a movie roman polanski was filming in paris, "pirates" starring walter mathieu. she said an incident happened when she was 16 and she said she was sexually abused by roman polanski. >> i came forward because i heard that roman polanski is fighting his return to the united states facing sentencing for his previous crime against a 13-year-old victim and that his legal team is portraying his previous offense against a minor as an isolated instance. i am also a victim of roman polanski. he sexually abused me in the worst possible way when i was just 16 years old. four years after he fled the united states to avoid sentencing for his crime. in addition to the fact that both myself and his previous victim were underage, i believe there are other similarities in the crimes he committed. it is very important that the district attorney and the swiss authorities be armed with this information as they decide mr. polanski's fate. i have traveled to the united states at my expense to make sure that justice is finally done and that mr. polanski gets what he deserves. mr. polanski knew that i was only just 16 years old when he met me and forced himself upon me in his apartment in paris. he took advantage of me and i have lived with the effects of his behavior ever since it occurred. all i want is justice. >> i might say we've reached out to polanski's defense lawyer and the spokeswoman for the defense team and have had no response to this at this point. the woman was 16. i might note that it is not illegal to have sex with a 16-year-old woman in paris. 15 has been the legal age of consent since 1945 when it was raised from 13. but that is not necessarily the issue here. the issue could be forced sex. note she said that. it was forced and that she was abused, but she wouldn't describe exactly how that happened with roman polanski four or five years after he fled the u.s. >> did somebody ask gloria allred whether roman polanski's fate will be altered in any sense by her declaration? >> she met with investigators who -- and prosecutors in los angeles yesterday hoping to provide them with this information that they could use in their case against polanski. keep in mind polanski, if brought back to the u.s., is very likely to be sentenced by a judge here, and they think this would be something the judge would consider. >> so the sentencing has not been -- the length of the sentencing is still to be determined. is that your understanding? >> well, that's actually a complicated legal issue because polanski, because polanski's argument was he was sentenced more than three decades ago. the prosecution is saying, no, that wasn't exactly a sentence. we've got to get you back here. >> charlotte lurks thanks very much. alen duke, thanks very much. we played this out in long beach, california. here's what happened yesterday just about this time. cops say it all began just south of the county line in laguna hills, a bank robbery. then they spots the vehicles allegedly used by the suspects. a chase began. people ran out of the vehicle, shots were fired. one of the suspects ran away. but no officers, we're told, were hit in the exchange. no word if the suspects were hit. another suspect abandoned the vehicle just a few blocks later and ran away. the suspects are said to be two males and a female. the bank robbery hatched in laguna hills. well, indeed there were more than one on the loose. that's what happened after that. a s.w.a.t. team took one of the suspects in custody by flushing him out of the bushes using tear gas, and there were some unintended consequences because it sparked a brush fire but it was between the access ramp and the highway itself so it was limited. and then the cops made him crawl on all fours to be taken into custody. they're still looking for the other two suspects. >> sometimes there are complications for child birth. why they had to amputate her arms and legs. about our cars... the most important is what comes from you. if you are shopping for a new car, we invite you to put ours to the test. put us up against anyone. and may the best car win.
