violating campaign finance laws in a scheme to cover up the fact that he fathered a child with rielle hunter. if convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. abc's bob woodruff is covering the trial. >> reporter: the trial will begin here today. it could last as many as six weeks or more. the prosecutors are expecting to exhibit 700 exhibits. it will be an interesting list of witnesses. the john edwards scandal -- has everything you would look for in a hollywood block buster. a sexual affair with a presidential candidate. >> i'm not going to say anything, thank you. >> reporter: an expensive coverup and lice. >> the story's false. >> reporter: a lot of lice. >> it's untrue. >> reporter: many of the central players will take solemn oaths,

in control, spent a lot of the cash on themselves. hunter told "gq" she was not aware how much money that andrew was making. we don't know if john edwards is going to testify or not. a lot of times, the lawyers that represent those accused don't want them to come on and testify. in this case, john edwards is an extremely good lawyer. one of the best in the history of north carolina. >> what an extraordinary rise and fall. the baby now 4 years old. now to the new developments in the case of etan patz. the young boy who disappeared here in new york 33 years ago. one of the first missing children to appear on a milk carton. fbi specialists have been ripping apart a basement in a new york apartment. david muir has more. >> reporter: authorities are being very cautious about a possible new clue. it's a stain found on some of

the concrete in the basement. also strands of hair. they're testing to it see if it has any connection with the little boy. investigators talked to his parents. they never moved from the neighborhood, hoping he would come home. investigators have been digging for four days. now, a possible new clue. 33 years after etan patz vanished. with much of the basement now demolished, nothing resembling human remains has been found. they're looking at a stain found on some of the concrete, to determine if it is blood or anything else that could be linked to etan's disappearance. the basement was once used as a children's play area. othneil miller, a happeneddyman, was seen with the boy the night before. >> the fbi's been there.

he cooperated with them. he doesn't have anything to do with this. >> mr. miller denies involvement with what happened to this beautiful young boy. mr. miller has been cooperating with the investigation for over 30 years. >> reporter: miller has not been named a suspect. he's been questioned. all these years, this man, a convicted child molester, has been considered the prime suspect. >> i have no comment on the patz case whatsoever. >> reporter: little etan disappeared on the first morning his parents let him walk to the bus alone. while his case remained cold for decades, he was never forgotten. his parents never changed their phone number telling abc news two years ago, they never moved, hoping he would one day come home. >> we didn't know what had happened to him. of course, the thought in the backs of our minds was that we should be here for him.

>> reporter: investigators say they'll be back at the soho building today. it will likely be the last day of the search. they've been digging six feet below the basement floor. the family has been waiting for more than three decades for any clues. >> because the family has not moved, they've been able to watch what is going on from their balcony. >> reporter: looking down the block and half that etan walked. that was the first day they let their boy walk to the school bus a block and half away. >> this case still holds so much fascination for so many people. now to the big bang that rattled nerves from san francisco to vegas over the weekend. david wright checked in with astronomers who think they know what really happened. >> reporter: a mysterious streak of light. >> a bright green flash with a tail on it. it looked metallic.

earlier, nearby, as we watched, police interviewed a little girl who said he played with isabel the last day she was seen. her brothers are family friends too. they tell abc news they didn't notice anything wrong. >> she was just a -- perfect little girl. having fun. at a party. >> reporter: for two straight days, investigators have been doing door to door searching trash bins for any sign of isabelle. they cord onned off the entire neighborhood around the family's home, keeping watch of everyone who came and went. is this a kidnapping case? >> we're not prepared to say at this point. there's a lot of insbes gating to be done. >> reporter: police say the little girl's family tells them they put isabel to bed around 11:00 friday night. they went to wake her saturday morning around 8:00, they found a wind open and their little dwirl gone. >> you wake up in a morning, you're this that scenario.

everything goes through your mind. >> reporter: police have searched the home twice. while they can't share details of a suspicious entry point, a family friend says the screen was knocked out of isabel's window. 17 registered sex offenders live within three miles of the home. so far, nothing. though they're trying to track them all down and interview them. the parents have remained out of sight and very quiet. police say they're cooperating. they've interviewed each of them separately for hours. so far, no sign of the missing first grader. >> thanks, neal. joining us by phone, the chief of police, robert villa senior. police have spent several hours with the parents. interviewed them. have you ruled them out as

suspects? >> at this point, we have not ruled out anybody. we're accepting all leads and following up on all leads. we're looking at all possibilities. >> what you tell us about the circumstances inside the home, perhaps a screen was blown out? >> we're not going talk about the specifics too much. a window had been opened. a screen taken off. however, we have other issues that we're following up on within the house that still keeps our mind open to other possibilities. >> can you tell us more what about is going on inside? >> not at this point. >> you had fbi and police dogs in there overnight, correct? >> yes, we have had fantastic cooperation from a variety of amg agencies. they brought out specialized canines. >> you definitely have not concluded this was a forced entry? >> like i said, we have not

concluded exactly what happened yet. if we start to go too early down a course of action, then the possibility of closing yourself off to other leads that you need to follow up on come forward. we don't want to do that at this point. >> you have had an intense search throughout the week end. what more should we expect today? >> we're going to re-evaluate the situation. we've been out there for close to 48 hours. we have searched the neighborhood three times. gone door the door, passed out flyers, used canines, helicopters, search and rescue teams. we have not spared any expense. we're going to evaluate where we are with that today and see what the next step will be. >> no sign of isabel yet? >> no, that's the unfortunate part. we haven't determined where she is or what happened. >> good luck with your work. thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> let's bring in brad garrett. i was struck by the fact that

the chief has not ruled out the parents as suspects. >> that's because most of the time it's a family member that takes a child. the problem with this case is they've done immediate searches, they haven't found her. they've got the removal of the screen and the wide open. what does that tell me? the possibility is that someone had some relationship with this child. maybe met her recently. think about taking the child out of a house in the middle of the night, perhaps going out a window or an open door, voluntarily, without making noise. the police have to focus on emp that's had contact with this child in the last two two three days prior to her missing. children she's in school with, teachers. anyone in the house in the last two weeks. >> what will those dogs that were brought in last night, what are they looking for? can they help? >> they're looking, primarily for a scent trail.

can they follow isabel out of the house a particular direction from the window? obviously, her scent will be all over the house. they're looking for tracking. i think they're looking for other scents. we don't know. maybe they have individuals they're thinking about and they want to see if they can match it. >> usually, these cases, if they're going to be broken are broken quickly? >> not necessarily. if you have someone who befriended the child, she voluntarily left with him or her, they're not in the area anymore, it depends on how good the suspect is at keeping it quiet. let's get to the weather and ginger zee. >> foggy morning up the east coast. massachusetts turnpike pictures. central park, 2.76 inches of rain overnight. warwick, rhode island, more than 3. boston, slower on the commute. a lot of this is pushing north
