jesse. she s in our thoughts every minute. we were just talking about the police releasing some materials to the public, a composite sketch of the suspect, footage of a van driving past a nearby business. is there anything new on the investigation that they have told you? no, not really. i know they have another security camera that might have a better view of the van. dakota i m not sure when they are going to release that. i understood you spoke to jessica an hour before she disappeared. was there any sense in that conversation that something was wrong? what did you talk about? i was just calling to see how work was going and seeing how fast she was going to be out of there. she said i was closing up quick and i ll see you soon, babe.
there was the news that female dna was found on one of the explosive devices. what do you think is going on? the fbi wants to be able to ask her a number of questions and verify much of the information that has been provided from other aspects of the investigation and from what statements she has made. under her rights she does not have to talk to the fbi not one word. they cannot compel her to talk. they can issue subpoenas for dna samples or do other investigative activities with her. she is not obligated to talk in any way. she is obligated if she does talk that it be the truth. she would be charged with with lying to the fbi in an official investigation. she doesn t have to. that is a big part of this is whether the physical evidence and other aspects of the investigation link her to a bigger involvement or greater knowledge of what tamerlan may have been up to during the time that they were together.
let s bring in cnn s law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director. thanks for being with us, tom. there is a lot of finger pointing going on and questioning about who dropped the ball? the president has ordered a review of intelligence gathering to the leadup to boston. what do you think specifically he is looking for. he wants to see how thorough was the investigation based on the information provided by the russians. that is a critical factor. by appearances right now most everybody i have talked to has said it looks like they conducted a thorough investigation based on what the russians provided. again, they did not provide any information that they had the mother under electronic surveillance and wire tapping her. in fairness nor would we have told them if the opposite was true. it appears that what the russians were doing was basically causing the fbi to do
an investigation to see if tamerlan was fundraising or putting together a team to go to russia and kill russians. i think that was their concern. so when the fbi discovers that he is not in touch with anybody in the u.s. that appears to be a terrorist, any calls overseas are to his mother and father so that is not suspicious and doesn t appear that he can put two nickels together so the fundraising aspect isn t going too well. when the fbi says this is what we found, if you want more we will do more. give us more. and twice the fbi asked for more and does not get it. it would appear to me that under the circumstances the russians were satisfied that if he comes to russia he is coming alone. and that is mainly all they wanted to know. there seems to be a lot of activity surrounding the wife of tamerlan tsarnaev. she spent about 3 1/2 hours with her attorneys and federal officials.
point. updating you on new developments on the boston terror investigation. danny, the man carjacked by the tsarnaev brothers is speaking publicly about his 90 minutes of terror. listen what he told cbs about his encounter days after the bombing. he took out his gun, pointed to me and said i m serious. don t be stupid. he asked me a question like do you know the boston explosion on monday. i said yes. he said i did that and i just killed a policeman. also new this morning tamerlan tsarnaev s widow giving the medical examiner s office consent to release his body to his family. among the more than 26 0 people injured three feet away
