Also the judge who holds the fate of the trump Business Empire in his hands and the Attorney General prosecuting him. The former president was not under oath when he left a federal courthouse in manhattan this evening. At the end of day one of his civil fraud trial, he was under no legal obligation to tell the truth. So, when characterized in the proceedings and why he was there, he didnt. He lied. This was for politics. Now, it has been very successful for them because they took me off the Campaign Trail because ive been sitting in a courthouse all day long instead of being in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, or a lot of other places i could be at. Well, he entered the first day of his trial, in which he has already been found liable for not telling the truth about how muc
We cover these cases that sometimes thes keep the stuff around sort of as trophy or something? explain that to me. you re exactly right. they keep it around. and they don t think they re going to get caught. that s really the main point here. a lot of these perpetrators, especially in child abduction cases, don t think they ll get caught. the police need to go back to the area where this guy used to live at the time that jacob went missing, and in 1989, and dig up the ground in that area. now, why should they do that? they ve done that once before but need to do it again because with the technology we have today, we will be able to pick up any bones or anything like that, that bill in that area. that s what we ll see happen in this case very soon. apparently heinrich was telling his neighbors yesterday or the day before that things are heating up on the jacob wetterling case. that s exactly what he said. we hope this family and so many others can get answers. that s right.

I am joined now by ernie allen of the international center for missing and exploited children and former fbi special agent ken landing. ernie, let me start with you. do you think it is a good idea this case keeps hope alive or is there a danger of false hope here? allison, there is no such thing as false hope. we need to keep these cases alive. the media forgets, the spotlight dimz, the world assumes these kids are dead, but was it false hope for the families of elizabeth smart, jace i dugard, jessica mullenberg? we need closure to find answering for the searching families. ken, how unusual is it the girls that have been gone for so long would still be alive after this many years? we first can look at the limited research that we have that tells us that most of these child abduction cases don t belong much beyond 24 hours and
Very rare. and about 72% of the child abduction cases where the person is killed, it usually happens, unfortunately, within the first three hours of that abduction. so time is of the essence when we re talking about abduction scenarios. the reality is when it comes to adults who go missing like michelle knight, we don t have any statistics on young adults who go missing. so then what is for parents that have little ones. what is the takeaway? what do parents need to know? what we need to do is empower young people to defend themselves, we really do. we need to teach risk reduction techniques on personal safety, even more so, we need to teach them how to fight because if we can resist being taken from one location to another, we can resist and get away from the vast majority of these crimes. you know, and the national center for missing and exploited children did a case study on 500
