>> there were three boats, and they cam back looking at me. >> three boats and a barrage of bullets, david was shot in the back of the head. and then the ultimate agony, as the ambush continues, tiffany was forced to abandon her dying husband in a bid to save her own life. >> are you sure that your husband got shot? >> yes, in his head. >> okay, was he thrown out of the gee ski that he's in the water or something? >> he was thrown off the jet ski and i couldn't pick him up to get him on mine. >> leaving the man she called the love of her life. >> she came close to getting her, she saw bullets landing on the water, but she was not hit. >> the u.s. mexico border runs right through the middle of fall c falcon reservoir. texas authorities don't have jurisdiction on the mexican side of the lake. >> we would like to go out there and try to retrieve that body. obviously the way things are now on the border, we could need to be armed to protect ourselves. >> for a couple married a year, it seems sadly ironic, tiffany says her goal was to live life to the fullest and to live without fear. janet shanlian, nbc news, houston. >> viemeredith viera spoke to t family earlier and spoke to tiffany about that fateful day and why they decided to go to the lake. >> my husband had been doing some research on that old church in mexico, and he loved history and he wanted to go see it before we headed back to colorado the following week. >> in may i know that the texas department of public safety reported several incidents involving pirates robbing boaters at gunpoint, in fact there was a pirate sighting as recently as august 31st, i believe and they had warned americans about the lake. if you're going to go out there, whatever you do, don't cross over into the mexican side. i understand you and david had even talked about the risk. so why did you ignore the danger involved there? >> we haven't heard anything for quite a while. my husband being a manager of the company down in mexico he had to take care of them and make sure they were safe and make sure i was safe and i know he would never, ever put me in a position of danger and we hadn't heard anything of anything going on over there, we had heard about the pirates, but we didn't know, we just hadn't heard anything recently. >> at what point did you realize that you were in terrible danger? >> once we started seeing that the three boats were coming towards us and then they started chasing us and then we just started hearing the fire, the gun fire. >> and then your husband was shot and you were faced with ank and tried to save him or attempt to save your own life. can you tell us about that moment for you. >> when i looked back after i had seen some bullets hit the water next to me, i looked back to check on david and i saw him fly over the jet ski, he had been hit. i quickly turned around and went to him and jumped off my jet ski and i had to turn him over because he was facedown in the water and turned him over and he was shot in the head. and that's when a boat came up, one of the boats came up to me and had a gun pointed at me, trying to decide what to do with me and then they left and that's when i tried saving david and getting him on to my jet ski. but i just -- i couldn't get him up and i just kept hearing god tell me, you have to go, you have to go. so i had to ollie him. -- so i had to leave him. so i could get to safety. >> and i know this is hard for you now because they have not recovered your husband's body or your son's body, dennis and pam, how are you coping? >> we'll, we're hanging in there, we have had a lot of support. from friends here and everywhere. david's friends in colorado are planning a rally to bring home. that is this friday in denver, colorado at the mexican consulate at 1:00 p.m. >> do you feel the mexican authorities are doing all they can to find david's body? >> no. >> no. >> no. >> no. we need to desperately get on the mexican side of the lake so we can search for him and bring him home. >> and now tiffany, did the mexican authorities speaking with the south texas newspaper and questioning your story, they say they found no evidence of this attack or your husband's remains, saying we're not certain this incident happened the way they are telling us. i want to give you a chance to respond to that. >> well, i would have to say that, you know, when they -- they know the pirates are out there, we knew that, we knew that there was a possibility of them being there. i believe in my heart that they went back and took him and they're hiding our jet ski, they're hiding him. and we just pray that we get him back. >> that was tiffany hartley and family with meredith viera and we'll be back with more of "today" right after these messages. mmmmmm. mmmmmm. wow! you have got to be kidding me. 80 calories?

[ female announcer ] sc johnson, a family company. this morning on joy's diet s.o.s., joy bauer a registered dietitian is addressing everything from vitamin d to bottled green tea. as always, we have got tons of good questions from our viewers. heather in calloway, maryland joins us on the phone "today." good morning, heather, what's your question for joy? >> caller: good morning, joe, my car told me i have low vitamin d levels and encouraged me to eat more dairy food and take a supment. i thought am i supposed to be taking my vitamin d supplement with some sort of fat like 2% milk? help, there's so much conflicting information. >> you're absolutely right, vitamin d is a fat soluble vitamin, and what that means is that it's a vitamin that dissolves in fat. but vitamin d also can be bound or be bound to protein and the protein in a fat free skim milk will do the trick. it will act as a carrier and it will facilitate absorption in the intestines. when it comes to fat free yogurt, not all brands are fortified with vitd minute d.c. so check out out to make sure. the supplements should be taken with the largest meal of the day, either with or after. because the largest meal of the day is going to offer up the most fat. and fat increases or optimizes the absorption of those vitamin d supplements. >> big meal, take the supplement, heather. >> okay, next question comes from marcie and she's also on the phone with us from great valley, new york. good morning to you, marcie. >> caller: good morning, my question is i have a 4-month-old and she gets up still one or two times a night and i was wondering every once in a while i still get a little bit hungry in the morning when she is' awake, and is it okay to have a little snack or should i not? >> and you're breast feeding, that's why you're getting up in the middle of night with her? >> caller: yes. >> it's perfectly fine to have a snack and it makes sense that you' eeare hungry, and when you sleep deprived, because you're up around the clock with your baby, your hormones that regulate younger tend to get a little bit messed up so that makes you feel hungry as well. if you eat at 2:00 in the monk, or 4:00 in the morning, those calories not automatically going to turn to fat and increase your weight. but that being said, you do want to be strategic with what you snacking on. first you want to pick something that's low in calories if you're still trying to knock off some of the baby weight, i would say 150 calories or less. and you want to make sure that the quality of your snack is nutrient dense and that's because you're nursing and you want your baby to have quality food. something like a piece of fruit, a rice cake or a smear of peanut butter will do the trick. in the middle of the night when you're really tired stay away from the cookies and the chips and dry serial and the crackers out of the box or out of the bag because it's amazing how much you can eat when you're half asleep. >> when you're breast feeding, is it only like 500 calories a day extra that you need? >> that's exactly right. you need about 500 additional calories beyond what you normally need when you're nursing, you really are hungrier because you still want to watch what you're eating because most women when they're nursing want to knock off some of that baby weight as well. >> next is a viewer e-mail. lois writes, do bottled cold diet green teas have the same nutritional value as hot green teas. >> unfortunately, no. and there was this great report this year and what it showed is that commercial bottled green teas have significantly less polly fine nolls, and those are those compounds that give green tea all the health promoting benefits and that's because most companies will typically deliberately remove or lessen the polyppolyphenoles so your b bet is to freshly brew your own green tea. freshly brewed is the keyword here. and that's going to give you all the benefits and if you don't like it hot, you want to steep it in six ounces of hot or boiling water and then pour it over a glass filled with ice. no more than one or two teaspoons of sugar or drink it straight up. >> bottled green teas generally are nilled with sugar. >> and they are expensive and you can save a lot of cash when you make it yourself. and you get all the health promoting benefits. coming up next in our next half hour, eight beauty sins you could be committing, how to avoid them and put your best face forward after these messages. i'd get this tightness in my chest. so i went back to my doctor again. we chose symbicort to help control my asthma symptoms all day and night. [ man ] symbicort improves my lung function, starting within 15 minutes. symbicort will not replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. it is a combination of two medicines and should not be taken more often than prescribed. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol increase the risk of death from asthma problems, and children and adolescents may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems. symbicort is not for people whose asthma is well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine like inhaled corticosteroids. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop symbicort without loss of control, and prescribe a long-term asthma control medicine. be sure to see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. symbicort is a good choice to help control my asthma all day and night.

there are a lot of families wondering just that. according to a survey done 65% of parents admitted the recession has changed how they're planning to pay for college. there's more information in "today's" "usa today." a college admissions expert and ceo of apply wise.com and a personal finance expert. so you conducted this survey and there were some surprising results including parents now saying they're looking at selecting a school more by weather they can afford to pay for it, cost and finance as opposed to the school's reputation. >> that's exactly right. so reputation is less important, though academics are still number one, tuition fees and availability of financial aid are the big keys. and it's really important for families when they're putting together their college list for them to be balanced for them to have a financial and academic safety school on their list. >> and as high school seniors get ready now to start doing the application process, what should they and their parents now be doing to manage their kids' expectations especially in these tough economic times. >> first of all they should have a franke chat with their kids and we're finding with the survey they are doing that, parents are sitting down and talking about what they can afford to pay towards that college education and they should have that conversation early before those acceptance letters come out in april. >> i get into the college i want to, but we can't afford it. >> and have some of those safe schools on the list, as a backup school. >> a lot of americans, while they believe in the high value of education, 22% of parents polled a mitted to not having put any money aside for college. that would be a huge problem. >> it's tremendously difficult to do that when one of the spouses have lost a job. the first thing you have to do is pay the bills that are most important "today" like keeping a roof over your head. go to fasfa, it's free, but you apply for federal government aid. more and more folks need that financial aid and it's very, very important to do that and also to know where you're going to put your money. sallie mae also came out "today" and showed that more than half of parents are not putting their money in 529s where the money can grow tax free, instead the majority of it is going to tax and savings account. so find out more information on 529s can be a little bit intimidating because there's a lot of factor to factor in. . >> i know from talking to you and listening to what you said on "today's" money 911, people think oh, maybe i'll tap into my retirement fund. and you say that's a big no. >> it's putting your oxygen mask on first, you've got to take care of yourself first, ask your child, do you want to be taking care of me down the road? if you don't pay attention to your own retirement, whether it's pulling equity out of your home or pulling money out of your retirement fund, your child's going to have to take care of you. but also think about for them, their young adults going into school and coming out, they have many, many more years to pay off the loans than you do. so make sure to take care of yourself first. and when you take out loans, take it out in their name. >> when you're looking at the cost of college, a lot of folks look at the cost of room and board, but there are a lot of other costs as well, right? >> many families are not thinking about budgeting for the cost of applying to college. and at a applywise we're finding that parents are spending $3,000 just on applying to college. it's really important to start saving early. >> are there other areas that they might not be looking at as far as hidden costs? >> almost over $3,000 you have already spent, so you've got to make sure you to sit down and talk with your child about their expectations, what are you going to pay for? what are they going to pay for? and credit cards. credit is not evil in and of itself. it's a great time to build your credit. but you have to co-sign or open a card joint with your parents. don't use your parents card, be responsible with your on card. >> it looks like the average senior comes out of college with $4,000 worth of credit card debt. >> especially when starting salaries are below $30,000. try to avoid a ton of debt, but if you get into it, use it responsibly and have a good credit score. >> how are the ways to cut the cost of college? >> there are so many ways and families are looking at sending their kids to a community college for two years and then transferring into a four-year college. students can also take a gap year and work for a year and put that money towards your tuition. you can save at least 25% on tuition, room and board. and you can take ap classes and ap exams and taking online college courses that can transfer to credits. you should also look at scholarship money, there's over $3 billion in scholarship money out there. >> there's more information on this on our website. and coming up, rinsing your face in hot water is a skin care no no. we're going to tell you why and fill you in on some of the other sins you may be committing in your daily beauty routine right after these messages. yes! ♪ look, they fit! oh my gosh, are those the jeans from last year?

>> when you go to sleep without washing your face, you're basically leaving a whole day's worth of oil, dirt, makeup, debris on your face and it's going to not allow your skin to breathe and clog your pours, so you really want to make sure you wash your face at night. if you're really sleepy and can't drag yourself to the sink, leave cleansing cloths next to your bed. >> let your skin breathe. speaking of hitting the pillow, one of the other big beauty sins is always sleeping on the same side of your face? why is that such a bad thing. >> just like muscle memory, there is wrinkle memory. ever time you lay on one side of your face, you're going to cause a wrinkle to form. obviously you want to change it up. use a fluffy pillow or a u shaped pillow to support your face and keep your neck up. >> is there a tip to switching? just make sure you kind of fluff the pillow up? >> you want a fluffy pillow instead of a firm one. >> next cleansing with water that is too hot. that is not a good thing to do? >> too hot can cause capillaries to burst and cause redness and it's really not great for your skin. what you want to use instead is lukewarm water, which usually runs between 72, 75 degrees, so much better for your skin. >> rubbing your eyes, doing this, all of that, putting your contact lenses. >> that's really bad for your skin around your eyes. it's very sensitive this area. >> the skin around your eyes is the most delicate skin on your entire body. the more you stretch and pull, the more that skin is going to sag. so when putting in your contacts, you want to use your fourth digit because that -- use an eye cream every day and night before bedtime. >> next on the list is washing your face before your hair? why does the order really matter there? >> it's something you wouldn't think about, but when you're in the shower, start at the top, work your way down, when you wash your hair, oils from your hair seep down into your face. start with your hair, then wash your face. >> okay. and another one that we i think tend to do a little bit too much, is maybe wearing a little bit too much facial moisture'ser. we have been told to moisturize but there is too much of a good thing. >> all you need is a dime-sized amount. you want enough to coat your entire face. if you use anything more, you're just not going to penetrate deep enough into your tissues and it's going to clog your pores. >> another thing we hear a lot that you should do, and actually it's not a good thing. is drinking through a straw. we thought it was good for your teeth. >> great for not getting stains or your teeth, but terrible for getting fine lines around your mouth. i love drinking through a straw but i'm going to look old before my time because of the the puckering. >> wearing your pony tail too tight. >> when you pull your pony tail too tight it's going to loosen the hairline. pull back your hair loose by and never tightly. >> you won't have that tension headache. >> pony tails shouldn't hurt, it should sweep the hair off your face. >> it's not a magic facelift. >> exactly. >> some great information for us. thank you. coming up next, candy is the centerpiece of the party. how to have some fun with candy at halloween and all year long. . i think we need tax breaks to send kids to college. . so i worked for a $2,500 tax credit to help pay for college. fought to get pell grants expanded and insisted that college loans go directly to kids instead of through banks. i'm barbara mikulski. i approve this message. because it's not about the next election, it's about the next generation. right?
