going to be done to ensure or to minimize the possibility of this ever happening again because i have great regard for the secret service. i believe director sullivan has done a fine johb. but you can't allow 11 men like this to tarnish the great reputation of that industry. >> police are conducting their own investigation in cartagena. drew, it appears the woman at the center of this scandal has gone underground. what are you learning about this? >> reporter: absolutely correct. she has an attorney. that attorney has apparently farming around her story for cash. but the woman herself has all but disappeared. we went to her home. she lives down a dirt road in a gated community, middle class, though. the neighbors there say they have not seen her since the news broke. she lived there with her young school-aged son. she was quiet, respectable. she went to school and then to

work at night. nobody really knew what she did. but she's disappeared. danya suarez is her name. colombia police have spent this weekend, last several days, trying to find all the women involved in this scandal, if you will, to find out what their stories are, if anybody else had any trouble. also to see what age they are. but it seems the expansion of this investigation, don, is mostly political. now three leading politicians in washington, d.c., demanding to know if it goes any further, if a white house advanced team may have been involved, knew or was somehow complicit? what took place here in cartagena, colombia, prior to the president's arrival. >> you're right. joe lieberman is urging the white house to look into all the staff that were down in colombia. as you said thshgs is expanding. also, as we reported, police in colombia conduct gt their own investigation, drew 0?

>> reporter: yeah, thaerpt. all though, don, i must tell you it's unclear as to why. there are serious implications about the lack of security that may or may not have been offered for the president, and focusing on the white house -- excuse me. the secret service's hiring of these prostitutes and whether or not that opened up the door for any possibility of a threat to the president. but here in colombia, the prostitution, the sex trade, americans coming down and buying women and bringing back to hotels, that is all perfectly legal. in fact, there are rules and regulations about it, which is why it would be so easy to track those women down. literal literally, these women who came back to this hotel where i'm standing and the hilton hotel behind me, had to register at the hotel desk as they were coming in as guests and were required to leave by 6:30 the next morning. so police here in cartagena will have a record of exactly who they were and which rooms they went to.

>> drew griffin, thank you very much. in other news tonight, he wanted to be the pleresident, b that just didn't happen. tomorrow, john ed ardz heads to federal court in north carolina. prosecutors plan to tell the jury a tale of an adulterous candidate out of control. senior correspondent joe johns has more. >> reporter: this political soap opera start at a bar in new york city where edwards met self-0 proclaimed filmmaker rielle hunter in 2006. she was hired to film webisodes by edwards, casual online individual yvideos of the former senator. the videos showed how close hunter and edwards had become. >> that's a great speech. >> so glad you like it. >> i like it. why don't you hear me give it live? >> reporter: immediately, those close to edwards suspected an affair. behind the scenes, the government argues that edwards was orchestrating a massive

cover-up. loyal and wealthy dons paid for his pregnant mistress to relocate and personal aid andrew young would claim paternity. in 2007, a tabloid published a story on the affair. immediately the campaign went into defense mode. >> when you were running for president, you flat-out denied having a relationship with rielle hunter. did you give me a truthful answer? were you telling the truth then? >> yes. >> reporter: after being chased by reporters, eventually he admitted personal failure. >> there's no question that i've done wrong and i take full responsibility for having done wrong. and i will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that i've caused to others. >> reporter: once a prominent politician preachi to america, e was leading two lives. he fathered a child with his mistress while his wife elizabeth was dying of cancer. it zt got worse in 2011, edwards

was indicted on several charges. he faces up to 30 years in prison. >> on the condition to say the same thing, on the condition to say we're getting to be political. and it's hard to shell all that. >> reporter: edwards has spent the last year preparing for his trial, undergoing surgery for a heart condition. four top aides are expected to testify at his trial. reelle hunt irhas immunity. >> i did not break the law, and i never, ever thought that i was breaking the law. >> reporter: experts say the government has a tough, unprecedented case to prove in the arena of campaign finance. but no matter the outcome, it is the ultimate fall from grace for edwards, once adored as a son of the south. joe johns, cnn. >> joe, thank you very much. jury selection in that case ends tomorrow. opening statements start after

that. make sure you stay with cnn for full coverage of the edwards trial. the search for 6-year-old etan patz is expected to resume tomorrow in new york. a source tells cnn that the fbi has no evidence of human remains in the manhattan basement where they've been searching. they're looking for clues into the 1979 disappearance of the 6-year-old boy. earlier i spoke with national korcorrespondent susan candiott >> reporter: law enforcement officials are not saying anything publicly, but a law enforcement source tells us no evidence of human remains has been found in the basement where they have been digging now for a few days. now, here's the backdrop for all of this. after a team of fbi and new york police department officers were working at the scene, we watched about six hours into the day, they began to tear down a few tents that had been covering the entrance to that basement. and then they made this announcement. they said, we're going to suspend operations for today.

we will be back tomorrow to resume our operations. so this adds a bit of mystery as to what they still have to do tomorrow, don. >> what do they plan to do with the concrete chunk -- obviously they're sending it to investigators for testing, but they said this is a possible stain, right? >> reporter: that's right. that's a development that we also have learned about, that on saturday investigators had sprayed lispray ed luminol, a chemical that can detect blood, not always, so they saw this piece of a stain on a cement wall. they brought in chain saws, broke off a chunk that contained the stain, and they said, we're 0 going to send it to the fbi lab in quantico, virginia, to determine whether that is in fact blood and if it is to whom it belongs. so there are still open questions here before they completely close down this operation. we don't know, they have more to

do here. certainly they're talking to 00 lot of different possible suspects. nobody is being called that at many this point. nobody is being charged with anything. but they are really working hard as they have reopened this case in the last few weeks, really concentrating on additional people that they're talking with. >> that was susan candiotti reporting to us from new york city. iran says it has cracked the code on the u.s. spy plane it captured last december. military officials claim to have extracted data from the stealth drone. they tried to prove to the pentagon they weren't lying by saying they knew the plane had flown over osama bin laden's hideout. the u.s. asked for the plane to be returned. the violence in syria seems to make a momry of the so-called cease-fire. this video is set to be from homs. cnn can't confirm its awe men tisty. activists say six were killed today, 13 more reportedly died across the country.

♪ the secret service and prostitutes. six agents have already fallen, including two supervisors and this is likely just the beginning. but the law make errs and advisers who weigh in on this scandal seem to agree on one thing -- secret service director mark sullivan has done a great job. he's running a thorough investigation and they have

total faith in his bltss. >> i believe director sullivan has done a fine job. >> i have faith in director sullivan. >> the president wants -- he thinks he's the right man to get to the bottom of this and make the changes necessary. >> he should keep his job. >> yes. >> i spoke to director sullivan last night, and he is dog a thorough investigation. >> do you still have confidence in him? >> i do at this point. >> i have full faith in sullivan. >> i spoke to l.z. granderson contributor at cnn.com and senior writer at espn and also lenny mcallister republican analyst writer and radio host. i asked them if sullivan sue poerts might have to eat their words. >> you know, i would hope not, you know. i think what you saw with people trying to rally behind someone who's a little bit embattled now, who's in a position where he has a lot of the american people's trust. so in order to make sure that americans that voters don't think everyone's corrupt, you've got to show support. but, at the same time, come on.

i mean, at least have a little skepticism. we've just seen this script over and over again. >> lenny? >> well, i can understand that, but he's also been blindsided a little bit. if this is a culture permeated without and something that's been tolerated and brushed over bree previously, i can understand skepticism. but pulgting ourselves in his shoes, you're trying to run a top ship, you're protecting the most valuable commodity the country has, the leader of the free world and this scandal lands on your desk and you're reacting to it all. it's a lot better to coalesce around him and give him the benefit of the doubt. i'm glad from a bipartisan perspective we're doing this and i hope director sullivan can continue to do the right things, get to the bottom of this and this can go away as quickly as possible. >> okay, wait a minute. lenny, you are the conservative and l.z. you're the lib ram and it looks like you've kind of flipped on -- never mind.

let's talk about mitt romney's -- >> don't put me in a box. >> former governor jeb bush and marco rubio both from florida. here's rubio's response about being asked. >> well, that's very nice of jeb. i hope he'll say yes if future president romney asks him. >> all right, l.z., another bush on the ticket? i mean, is that what republicans need to feel comfortable with romney as a nominee here? >> well, you know, if you go back to when the w. came to our existence, i think a lot of people thought jeb should have been the nominee then. so you're not looking at the last name as much as the first name. i think a lot of people, especially republicans, conservatives, actually really believe in the governing progress of jeb bush. with that being said, if you're mitt romney and you're going to go to florida for a vp, you've got to go with rubio. you've got a lot of trouble in terms of immigration

conversation, and rubio helps you with that in terms of shoring up your credibility. and he's a likeable guy, and bush -- the last name is a problem. i think it's just a little play by marco rubio to throw us off the trail. >> but i think, lenny, correct me if i'm wrong, there's some hesitation about rubio. number one, they don't think he's experienced or ready. two, they think his appeal is basically limited to southern florida and cubans and not to latinos or hispanics overall in the rest of the country. and the more interesting candidate or candidate who may have the experience and may be a better fit would be bush, who dealt with these issues and dealt with immigration overall. >> well, true and that's a valid point, don. but at the same time governor bush in the presidential slot may be a stronger candidate than governor romney, which is why they were trying to push governor bush into this race. you don't want to have a situation like we had four years ago where the vp slot overpowers

the presidential slot. one thing about rubio, if he ends up being the vice presidential nominee, we sfbt still haven't heard that wednesday evening speech. remember what sarah pail chb did, that was her high water mark. that really turned on the conservatives. if senator rubio would accept the nomination late august and gave one whale of a speech, that might be enough to get the support to go from southern florida up throughout florida, maybe turn florida back to red, and maybe spread throughout the country, being young, latino, catholic. those are a lot of positive traits he can bring to the ticket, if he's able to fire people up. usually you don't get that until that wednesday night speech. >> lenny and l.z., thank you very much. i have a sobering statistic for you. in one poort of the world women are more likely to be raped than learn how to read. that startling culture of rape on trial, next. i'll tell you what -- when we stop to fill it up. ♪

people at the head of these agencies. >> at the head of these agencies. he's also the head of the economy. he's in troubcharge, yet almost years later his administration is still blaming a bad economy on george w. bush. >> take a look at what happened in ohio between 2000 and 2008. instead of faster job growth, we had the slowest job growth in half a century. >> the president inherited, again, as you know, the worst financial crisis since the great depression. >> the worst crisis since the great depression. >> you know, this was a financial crisis caused by a shock larger than what caused the great depression. >> too many people have been stripped of their dignity as a consequence of this god-awful recession we've inherited. >> it is true that they inherited the worst economy since the great depression. the research shows it. it does. it shows it. but it's the same talking points he ran on last time. and, again, you know, maybe the gsa, the secret service and bad

will cain is a cnn contributors with a bit of a conservative bent. good to see you. a new cnn research torpgs poll finds nearly 7 in 10 americans believe the tax system benefits the rich and is unfair to ordinary workers. now, that certainly seems to be behind president obama's push to raise taxes on millionaires through this buffett rule. there's a real discussion about, should we be talking about the tax code as being fair or being

efficient? what's your sense of if we're all agreeing p we don't love this tax code, what should it represent? should the rich pay more? should everybody pay the same amount? >> first of all, for me, pd and i don't think this is that subjective, what is fair is this. when you have the poll that shows who thinks it unfairly benefits the rich, the statistics fly in the face of that. we know the tax code is so complex, so riddled with exceptions it becomes like swiss cheese. who does that benefit? we want to say the rich, but it really benefits those connected, those with lobbyists, tax accountants and lawyers. that's where you can make a more fair tax code, making it easier to understand. but my complaint is and your reference to the buffett rule and president obama, that doesn't solve any of the problems. it just makes it more complex for some arbitrary division of firness that, yes, i think is based on some semblance of envy, for telling people, hey, we'll get that solved, we'll play it

to the rich guys. >> will, thank you. i'm ali velshi with this week's "mastering your money."

aliens had put the mono lynch on earth and the moon. could there be a mono lynch on mars? >> what's a monolith. >> it's a stone. how could something so perfect be standing out so perfectly all alone out by itself on this planet. could it be naturally caused or did somebody put it there? the masonry of martians. could it be? that's what some people are saying. these are actualitily images caken from the mars reconnaissance orbiter. they were a couple of years ago taken. so the buzz on the internet gets regenerated every now and then. so we had to debunk this myth. i hate to disappoint. it's probably not the work of martians or alien life. it's probably just a rock. and there are a couple of reasons we think that is. first of all, see the shadow in the picture? >> yes. >> that shadow, just because of the afternongle of where the li comes in, makes it look more

prominent. >> is that punxsutawney phil? >> i think probably not. second reasonable, this is all from a researcher at arizona state university that's been going through these pictures. he says the resolution of it, that close up, is rather poor so it's kind of pixely. >> here's the thing. why should we be so presumption to think we're the only life. maybe life on mars is more sfist kuwaited and advanced than ours. >> one never knows, but they probably didn't create that single block. >> okay. outer space to under the earth. this may be a huge find or not. >> it's already buzzing. that's what the map was for. this is in chez knchnya in russ. this is three feet in diameter and scientists in chechnya are saying it's 60 million years old, believe it or not. if true, this would be the world's largest dinosaur egg.

that's what they think they are. so some construction workers were blasting through the mountains trying to biloiled a road and they found these perfectly round looking eggs in there. that ace what they believe they are. however, as soon as the story came out, a bunch of paleontologists were quick to say that can't be so, one of the reason being these eggs are so much larger than anything we've ever seen before when it comes to dinosaur eggs. secondly, dinosaurs didn't live in the mountains. and, thirdly, a lot of these eggs were kind of separated into a bunch of different areas. you know how dinosaurs lay eggs all together. >> yes. >> we'll have to see. they'll study and take a look. if it's true, whatever it is, it's pretty cool to see something so perfect like that found in the rocks. some kind of fossil you'd think. >> that's pretty awesome. now, that i like. >> good! >> that is something i can believe. i'm looking over here because there's a much big eger monitor. listen, one more mystery we have coming up.

a man says he found 20 world war ii airplanes that had never been flown and brand new buried in the jungle? that story, next.

jacqui jeras is -- that music scares me. >> i love it. >> one more sunday night mystery. this is it a world war ii aircraft, a spitfire. >> right. this was a british plane used during the war. let's go ahead and take -- you

can see the pictures of it there behind me. a bunch of these, 20 of them, have been found buried under the ground in myanmar. >> what? >> they were in their original crates. so, as they get dug up, which is expect to happen in the upcoming weeks, they could be in nearly mint condition. here's the backstory. a british farmer, very passionate about airplanes, hears through the grapevine from some u.s. veterans that they buried these plains here in the jungle because there was a surplus. the war was winding down. they had all these planes. they were very concerned about a japanese occupation, also known as burma, to give you an idea of where it was on the map. they said, just bury the planes and get the heck out of there. he did a bunch of research, spent 15 years, $200,000, and made a dozen trips to myanmar and he's finally located it. this isn't just one guy saytion, yeah, i know where they are. there have been conversations

between myanmar government as well as the british government to get those planes back to the uk. >> if anyone finds a pristine plane like that, imagine what they'll go for? do you think thiel thail go to a museum, if someone will buy noerm a bunch of dough. who owns them? >> the government. the british government. but the farmer hopes he's going to be able to refurbish them and have a flying squadron and have an air show. worth about $3 million each in good condition. 20 of thome! >> wow, what a find. >> yeah. cool. >> i like those mysteries. you're pretty cool, too. >> thanks. so are you. >> thanks, jacqui jeras. we appreciate you joining us. i'm don lemon here with jacqui jeras at the cnn headquarters in atlanta. i'll see you next week right back here. have a great night and a great week. >> announcer: tonight on "cnn presents" -- "betrayal of trust."
