fuhrman of course who is a former l.a.p.d. homicide detective and fox news contributor. mark, this is an incredible story, isn t it? it s, it s shocking and incredible. and you know what s fascinating is listening to the all the police officials and public safety and the mayor. the whole city s taken back by this but it sounds like they were pretty much on top of these cases. that they had a lot of concern and they were following up leads and when you look at the three suspects, we are not hearing they had any kind of police record. there was no radar that they would have intersected a police investigation because they re a registered sex offender or parolee or on probation. so it s kind of interesting and like you mentioned the dugard case, that man was on parole and parole just failed to actually do their job in any regard in that case, but in this case, the
you very much. thank you. martha: what is your take on this benghazi story? because a lot of people thought this should have gone away and now everybody is paying attention. send us a tweet @marthamaccallum and @billhemmer and let us know what you think about the coverage of this story. who is paying attention to it now and where it goes from here. bill: think about 10 years, this decade-long nightmare finally over in part now but you don t know about the level of trauma and what comes next. three women held captive are now free. we know that. amanda berry s sixth grade teacher is here live in a moment. she has been watching the case as you can imagine from the very beginning. we ll hear from john walsh, marc klaas, polly klass s father. here is the uncle of the suspect on the street of cleveland just last night. i feel terrible because he is my family. and, we re with a big family. we never thought that something like this could happen within our family.
martha: you make so many great points. i have was just reading a little bit more about knigh michelle knight. she was somewhere between 18 and 20, when she was abduct ned this case, and she had lost custody according to one report i read of a young child and the thinking was oh she s taken off. and nobody would believe that she hadn t just taken off. her mother kept saying that she just simply did not believe that was the case and she persevered in look for her nor a very longtime. you raise a great point, you know, but how do police make that judgment about whether or not it s a kidnapping or whether it s something else? it s a tough call, and i say to cops aupl th all the time, because i love cops. i go on record again, i love cops. i say, why? why in wrong minute because so many women do maybe take off or whatever. so many women murdered in this country in the last 50 years didn t run away and they were never looked for. i say you re literally, by
in 19 the 3 young poly was having a slumber party at her home when a man entered her bedroom and kidnapped her at knife point. tragically she was found dead two months late. this was a story that grabbed national attention and drove this man on a national kr crusade. mark klaas. good morning to you. we have spoken many times over the years. as i mention hit does not usually end like this. i want to get an understanding from you as to how an abductor in this case, this 52-year-old suspect, how he can scare these women so deeply that they don t make a move for almost a decade. how is that possible? well, let s remember, bill, in two of these cases, these weren t women when they were taken, they were girls. and so you re looking at a context of a determined predator and a young girl. they use threats, they use intimidation, they use coercion,
one thing that is the most disturbing, just on this, on this first blush of this case is, you have three brothers that are in close proximity of age that are involved in conduct that is way beyond anything that, that any of us can understand and just exactly what is the threat that is going through these three brothers and where did they learn their conduct? martha: it s bizarre that the three of them, nobody ever spilled the beans, nobody ever did anything that opened the door looks to be some kind of a bizarre and awful secret life for these three young ladies. that is what, you know, i think, we are having a hard time wrapping our brains around. how could you possibly keep this under wraps for 10 years? sounds like these girls walked out in the end. they were not held in some sort of a basement cavern or, maybe we ll learn that. well, you know, martha, when you look at this i mean
