on the ground there in san bernardino. what is going on at that lake? what are you seeing there? what are you hearing from investigators? well, i ll let you take a look over my shoulder here. you can see fbi agents have arrived on scene. it s much earlier on the west coast. they just arrived within the hour and are preparing to go in the water. we know several divers were in yesterday for a few hours, looking for evidence, we re told, that could be connected to this couple who were involved in the san bernardino attacks. now, investigators say they re following a couple of leads they received that put the shooters in this park near the lake on the day of the shooting. they aren t saying what specific evidence they re hoping to find, only they ll take anything they believe may be connected to the investigation. as you pointed out, that hard drive from the couple s computer. presumably that s something nair looking for. another new development, we found out farook could have ties
cooperative. this is a childhood friend of farook. he checked himself into a mental hospital right after the shooting, was released sometime on sunday and has been cooperating with authorities since. now, the fbi today at that press conference, chris, would not answer any of our questions relating to him. just saying that he is being questioned. one interesting thing to come out of the press conference, though, is they said even though the two shooters are dead they re being very careful about evidence gathering and what information they share with the media because the potential that this could go to trial, that potentially charges could come against somebody at some point. we should point out, though, marquez is not a named suspect. okay. thank you so much for that. blake mccoy. malcolm nance is executive director of the terror asymmetrics project. give us a sense. the mystery here, it s not romance exactly but i think everyone would like to find out how did this pair get together?
used by the terrorists. marquez s mother now saying that her son is a good person and that she had no knowledge of her son s involvement in what happened in what he told investigators in 2012. he claims he knew nothing about the san bernardino plot. and right now we know investigators are still talking to him and trying to get more information. joining us now is michael weiss, co-author of isis inside the wall of terror. she knew nothing about her son having anything to do with terrorism. and we ve seen it separately with farook s family. he and his wife lived in a house with his mother. how were they able to hide those plots from those closest to them. i take wit a little bit of pinch of salt that the families didn t know anything untoward was going on. farook s father had come out and
the latest. what are we learning? reporter: we understand he was possibly in the same social circle as this terror leader who was recruiting people. in 2012 that was the same time that we know enrique marquez t friend and neighbor of farook, has said and told investigators that he and farook were planning their own attack here on u.s. soil. so investigators are looking more closely about their ties. we do know that terror group was planning an attack in afghanistan. of course that is when al qaeda and the taliban for more prominent in terms of the the conversation. i want to tell you about the location i m at. i m here in front of this lake where we anticipate the investigators will be returning here within the next couple of hours. it is just 6:00 here on the west
farook were in the same social circle. but authorities did not know about farook until the san bernadino shooting last week. they called the terror plot off. marquez told investigators, spooked by the arrests. but was this a terror network or a group of men connected by friendship and a twisted desire for violence? we re working hard for exactly their association and source of their inspiration. we re also working very hard to understand whether there was anybody else involved with assisting them, with supporting them, with equipping them. reporter: as far as these killers, the fbi said farook and malik chatted of jihad online before meeting in person. radicalized before their marnl and before she would enter the united states last year. and in a late development, fbi dive teams arrived at this lake. there was a report that the two killers were spotted here at this park on the day of the massacre. dive teams spending several
