second year and the video shows a man walking in front of hannah. he stops and then walks behind her. police say that's the witness who has since come forward. >> he is very cooperative with us. and we obviously look at things from every angle. so we will go through what his statement is, and description we have, and see if we can identify this person and make our determination. >> reporter: at 1:20 a.m., a text message sent from hannah's phone to friends, it reads she was lost. then her phone went silent. on the uva ground tonight, a candlelight vigil to bring hannah home. >> the idea here is to celebrate the hope still out there, still with hannah's family and friends, with all of us, we think, to keep that hope alive we are going to bring her back. >> reporter: that candlelight vigil set for 9:00 tonight on the uva grounds. we're going to be there and share more of the students gathering tonight on news4 at 11:00. in charlottesville, virginia, i'm david culver, news4. a former profiler with the fbi tells us the concern over who hannah encountered is real. we spoke to clint van zandt. he says hannah's behavior could have made her a prime target for a sexual predator. >> a lion will go after a gazelle with a bad leg or something. a sexual predator will look for that person who is by themselves, who looks like they may not be in full capacity of themselves. predators many times will practice this. they will know the area they're going into. and all they do is sit and wait for that particular victim that they're looking for to come walking down the street. >> vanzant says predators are sometimes willing to wait years between attacks. he also says in his years of experience, it is rare for a victim to return unharmed after being missing for so long. now to that foiled isis terror plot. the plan was designed to shock, horrify and terrify the public by beheading random strangers in two cities in australia, according to prosecutors. the plot was uncovered tuesday when prosecutors intercepted a phone call between two alleged isis members. police fanned out overnight in the largest anti terror sweep in australia's history. now six people are under arrest. but the apparent ring leader remains at large. this next comes as the senate votes on president obama's request to arm and train moderate syrian rebels to fight isis on the ground. steve handelsman on capitol hill now with more on this. steve? >> reporter: thanks. two more votes, about a half hour, and it looks like the senate will definitely pass the continuing resolution which incidentally keeps government from shutting down. and in that is the authorization to train and arm these so-called moderate syrian rebels. the beheading of those two u.s. journalists dramatically changed the opinion of lawmakers, but the need to fight isis and now comes the charge that the so-called islamic state is already trying to export that signature terror tactic. an isis suspect far from iraq and syria. this was sydney, australia. police are holding six people who the prime minister charges got orders from a senior isis leader to behead random australians. >> to conduct demonstration killings here in this country. >> reporte >> americans will take u.s. passports after fighting with isis after training with isis to come back and commit unspeakable acts of terror here at home. >> reporter: to fight isis, the senate is set to follow the house and okay training and arming moderate syrian rebels. >> so there are moderates. if we train and equip them, they can be effective. >> part of the president's determination that it would not be in the national security interests of the united states to put american boots on the ground in syria in a combat role. >> reporter: but some see another iraq war that could end in chaos. >> intervention is not always e answer, and often leads to unintended consequences. >>. >> my fear and i think the fear of the american people is, we have all heard this before. we have all lived through this already. >> so do nothing? but this is not iraq. this is a totally different thing. >> reporter: near baghdad today, the iraqi army cleared roads and set out to take territory back from isis. the australians sent military advisers to help. and the french formally announce they will bomb isis in iraq. >> the white house and state department rushed to praise the french, but so far, not one arab nation except iraq has publicly pledged to bomb or to send grouped forces. i'm steve handelsman, news4. >> steve, thank you. "meet the press" moderator chuck todd joins us with a closer look at what the plan making its way through congress would entail. chuck, it seems like everybody is in agreement we want to go after isis. it's how to do it. and there's a lot of concern about how to keep the weapons out of the wrong hands. >> right. a lot of skepticism. we saw, it's been interesting to follow in this day and age when we think everything is red versus blue and foreign policy issues, the old divides, intervention isolation and republicans. we're seeing the unusual bipartisan makeups of this both in opposition and support. but that's what kerry and hagel struggle to do this week. i think is answer the question. okay, you get rid of isis, but how is this moderate opposition going to work? by the way, how do you make sure those weapons don't end up in the hands of isis. american weapons are already in the hands of isis. they saw it once. there is that skepticism. and then there is the part of this that says if the moderate opposition -- if you try to arm them and it doesn't work, now isn't the u.s. responsibility to send their own combat troops to make it work? because if you have a vacuum, extremists fill it. >> senator durbin said today after elections in november they're going to take up some legislation that would authorize -- >> i love that, after the election. classic politics in there, right? >> but they're going to authorize military force against isis. do you see that playing out? >> well, they need to do this. i don't understand why the president didn't demand it. he just said it would be nice if you did it. this is somebody who the administration has said, get rid of this old authorization, because -- but they're using it as their legal justification to go into syria. i think they need it. because there is some real legal questions about whether the u.s. legally can be bombing in syria. the u.n. is not going to give them any legal cover. i think the u.s. congress is the only one that can. i think they have to do it. >> a whole lot of details to be worked out, chuck todd. thank you. we voigt invite you to join chug for "meet the press." thank you, chuck. it is official now. home depot data breach is bigger than the one at target. home depot says 56 million payment cards have been affected. it took place between april and september. the breach is larger than the security breach at target earlier this year. home depot realized its payment data systems were compromised on september 8th. pin numbers and online shopping payment information was not affected. could be a pivotal evening in the race for d.c. mayor. about an hour from now, the three major candidates will square off in their first debate before the november election. among the hot button issues, whether to legalize marijuana use. according to our new poll, two-thirds of voters support that idea. news4's tom sherwood will be the moderator of tonight's debate at american university, and he joins us live with more on what we can expect. tom?
