the desert area. he found a black bag in sort of a dry riverbed area. he picked it up and took it to a friend s house, called the police, and now they have retrieved this bag. they don t know whether it s the right one, but it could be a key piece of evidence if it is. they ll be testing it to look for fingerprints, dna, hair and fibers, this kind of thing, to see whether this was the one that he left the house with that day. ali? all right, susan. thanks very much. i know you re working on every little development that comes out of this as we all try and understand more about it. let s go to some live pictures of st. elizabeth seton catholic church in tucson, arizona. you ll see there are a number of cameras covering this service. you ll see the shots changing a lot. an hour from now, the funeral mass will be said for christina taylor green, who was born on
