so let's take a look at how mike's trade went down. he bought shares of national oil well, but he wanted to increase his return. so he sold the nov october 40 strike call and collected $1.50. but if mike thought shares were heading higher, why did he cap his gains for just $1.50? because by selling that call, mike can now make money if his stock goes up, does nothing or even trades down. too good to be true? let's take a closer look. when mike put on his trade, national oilwell varco was trading for $33.95. he then sold calls and sold $1.50. scenario one, the shares do nothing. mike keeps the money. two, the stock declines. the $1.50 gives him down side protection to $35.75. or the price of the stock, minus the money mike collected for selling that call. anything below that level, though, and mike will lose money. >>> give yourself an additional $1.50 downside protection. >> mike makes money off the shares he owns up until $40. at that point, his stock gets called away and mark waves good-bye to his shares. with that $1.50, his real re

mike, let's hit on both of those. this is the first time i've heard of this park and the men's room. let's start there. what would take authorities there? some sort of physical evidence? some trace that somer was there at some point? >> if they were only there for six minutes, as natisha was saying, they were probably there to make sure they crossed the ts and dotted the is. what i find interesting is natisha says she was there at midnight last night and saw blue lights and green lights. we call that alternate light sources when looking at a crime scene. also luminol, you spray that around the house, and it looks for even tiny specks of blood spatter. you can use it for looking fibers. certain kinds of fiber will glow under a light source. and look for the presence of e semen, other bodily fluids, to see if it's present in that house. there's something that led them to that house. i understand this was the last vicinity she was seen, but did they find something in that landfill around her that led them back to there t

>> you know, mike, it's a problem. i mean, it's a problem in the public on, you know, on homicides around cities. i used to do canvasses all the time. no, i don't want to say anything, because they were afraid. they were intimidated because people come up and say you didn't see anything, did you? no i didn't see anything. but, these people who are saying don't snitch. they're the cowards, mike. they are the ones who are really the cowards. and you know what? please keep sending them to facebook. keep sending them to different blogs. because law enforcement can find you. you can run, but you can't hide. >> can they be traced? >> absolutely, mike. i'm not going to say how, okay. but they can be. and could there be possible charges if these are people who did see something and are intimidated? absolutely. tarvering with a witness. obstruction of justice. threats across the internet. when they started -- when the internet started becoming more popular, and just, as big as it is now, it used to be threats across the phone.

i'm mike galanos. this story should be all about finding little hague leileigh c, once again they shifted attention back to them, heading for divorce. not many viewers probably surprised about that. trouble in paradise, we're learning. you know, were we stunned when they got married in the first place a little over a month after little hay league disappears will get married, who does that when your daughter is missing then plan a honeymoon, baffling since the getgovernment we have our experts with us and want to hear from you, by the way. 1-877-tell-hln is the number. joining us once again malen malena schiav spodz and also with us mike brooks and ni coldeboeard. first to you, marlena. what's going on on the brink of divorce, huh? >> yes, this re, mike. the papers are all filled out. misty's lawyer has them in hand. she has not signed it yet, though, mike. this is the twist. she's gone. she took off. ronald told her sunday he wants a divorce and monday he headed to st. augustine's his attorney's office

i'm mike galanos. let's get right to it. so much speculation. 6-year-old now known as balloon boy was not in a balloon floating over colorado. he was hiding in the attic. the drama unfolded live on national tv. here's a quick recap for you. >> reporter: a 6-year-old boy we are being told, is actually inside what is being called an experimental aircraft. all right. it's come down. we've all been holding our breath for about an hour now. according to police there is no one inside that balloon. >> thinking there was a 6-year-old boy that was in this and then when it lands, there is no boy here. >> 6-year-old falcon? he's alive. >> he is. >> and he's at home. >> he's been hiding in a box, cardboard box in the attic of the garage. >> all right. now we have what you're seeing here, dramatic home video. here's the family. shows the terrifying moments as the balloon took off. again, we now know little falcon heene was never in that balloon. the family no stranger to the camera here. not only yesterday but prior to that they've been

delusional, mike. first of all, religion performs a very important psychological function in our culture. it gives us a sense of community, moral teaching, comfort in our own fear of dying. but if you think god is a trauma center who's going to step in and take care of things, come on. a priest told me this in a homily once. you know the old story of the guy who's drowning and three boats come by and every time he says, no, it's okay. i have faith. i'm praying. it'll be fine. god will save me. he eventually drowns and says, god, why didn't you save me? i prayed. and god said, i sent you three boats, you stupid dummie. right? >> well, help us out. >> it is a kind of delusion. >> okay. so then when they get in the courtroom and mom let me read her statement again, no regrets here. she is talking about the judge and the dilemma the judge had. she writes, the judge had a difficult task but was wise to consider our children's well being and we are thrilled with his decision to allow us to stay as a family u

she needs some space, mike. she -- you know, a couple weeks ago the investigation was kicking up again, we saw a lot going on. there was a draining of a pond. there were allegations against misty, she was failing these polygraphs, and you know, she took off, she went to orlando, she got some space from ronald, she came back last week, but now, mike, she's gone again. she's on her way back to orlando with her friends. >> okay. who is this friend of hers that she's on her vacation, walkabout, whatever you want to talk -- whatever you want to call it? who is this friend? >> it's a girlfriend of hers, mike. it's a person she's met somewhat recently in the past year that she's become close with. and it's someone who is helping her out right now during this rough time. >> now, i know it's a rough time. she disappeared -- the bottom line is, where is little haleigh right now? she doesn't have a job. no income that i know of. help me out there if you know of any job she's got or how she's earning any money. maybe she's

i'm mike galanos. this is terrifying. we can't let our kids off the school bus without wondering if some sick predator is going to snatch them. somer thompson, a week ago today was kidnapped and killed. now her family is getting ready to bury her. john walsh from "america's most wanted" thinks this is no first-time criminal. >> the sheriff and i both feel it was a predator who has probably done it before. i don't know if it is the same guy but 20 years ago there were four kidnappings of small children, same circumstances, after school or on their way to the buses that were never solved. i would hate to think this is a serial child killer who raised his ugly head. i have seen this before. rapists and child killers come out of retirement because they can't stop. >> that phraseology, coming out of retirement. 1-877-tell-hln. joining me is natisha lance, who spent time in orange, park, california. pat brown, criminal profiler and hln law enforcement analyst mike brooks. natisha, you heard the john walsh angle. what do we know

i want to go back to mike brooks. mike, we hear it again. the moment, the aha moment for investigators. and come on, you're a seasoned vet. when you heard little falcon say do it for the show, you practically had to come out of your chair at that point. >> absolutely. wolf tries to follow up. dad goes, yeah? and then it's like, are you ro. the kid's looking around like, what do we say now? mom says no. wolf follows up on it, mike. just said, well, wait a second here. what do you mean? then he gets -- dad gets very defensive about wolf just following up on a question. you know, as he should as a journalist, especially when he was on "larry king live." so, you know, that was the moment that i said, you know, i said all along, how do you say publicity stunt. after this, game set and match. >> let's get a call in. janine in oregon, your thoughts? >> caller: hello. my thought was, as the young man was being asked the question, i'm wondering if he wasn't confused having been on "wife swap" several times, that maybe he thought he was supposed to be

she needs some space, mike. she -- you know, a couple weeks ago the investigation was kicking up again, we saw a lot going on. there was a draining of a pond. there were allegations against misty, she was failing these polygraphs, and you know, she took off, she went to orlando, she got some space from ronald, she came back last week, but now, mike, she's gone again. she's on her way back to orlando with her friends. >> okay. who is this friend of hers that she's on her vacation, walkabout, whatever you want to talk -- whatever you want to call it? who is this friend? >> it's a girlfriend of hers, mike. it's a person she's met somewhat recently in the past year that she's become close with. and it's someone who is helping her out right now during this rough time. >> now, i know it's a rough time. she disappeared -- the bottom line is, where is little haleigh right now? she doesn't have a job. no income that i know of. help me out there if you know of any job she's got or how she's earning any money. maybe she's

>> caller: hi, mike. i was wondering two days ago there was the report of an armed robbery at the child's home, the day that her body was found. i haven't heard any more about that. could you tell me anything. >> natisha, can you update that? had you heard that report? >> there were some reports of that. we did ask the public information officer about that and they said it was an actual computer error that because someone had had this address on their mind so much, they put in the wrong address. >> one other thing before we go, the vacant house, authorities, we assume were gathering evidence. are they still looking over that home? >> that home has been cleared at this point there. was evidence that was collected there, as well as the park that was across the street from there and that park, mike, i think we have talked about before. there is a bathroom that is connected to that park, a men's room there, is a women's room. they also collected evidence from that men's room. so, once again, it's still being

>> it could very well be that, mike. as i said, they are going to be look at any women who may have lost a child, trying to get pregnant. they have, what i call, hate the term, person of interest, a tip, that played out, didn't go any were this is what we have right now the best we have to go on this composite we are looking at, mike. >> what are the odds this person is local and had been target egg and watching maria garolla, up until the point she had the baby? >> i think most likely it is someone local. again, probably someone she never had any contact with. you never really knew, maybe the person was riding by, saw she was out walking, that she was pregnant, maybe seen her at doctor's appointment. looking back, when did she go to the doctor, when did she go to the hospital? looking at videotape to see if there is anybody that matches the description of this woman they are looking for. >> mike, get a call n laurie is with us in canada, hi, laurie, your comment or question here. >> caller: hi, my comment is about all t

mike's with us in missouri. mike, your thoughts on this? >> caller: yes. i had a relationship with a young lady 15 years ago, and i see her every day. she's the light of my life. we have two beautiful children. >> you guys got married? >> caller: yes, sir. the workplace relationship, and romance and everything else, you have to be adults about it. >> what was your work relationship? were you guys on equal footing? was someone the boss or -- >> caller: no, we were competitive. every day we were competitive. we still fight for the same job. yeah, every day. >> still making it work. >> caller: yeah. >> i think that's where -- mike, thanks for sharing your story there. i think that's where people say, if you've got people in the workplace and this they're somewhat on equal footing, i don't think people don't have the issue with the boss/subordinate thing. >> yeah, about there are challenges in the peer-to-peer relationships. people are uncomfortable competing against each others in the office. there are others who meet in the office, get married, continue to w

mike, talk about that. i mean, police can protect people who feel that they might be a little threatened. they can bring their anonymous information forward, right? >> absolutely. sometimes they set up different programs where you just call in and you're a number, a crimestoppers program. you don't have to give a name. they just assign you a number, and they contact you that way. no, you don't have to give your name. and there are, you know, tips you can call into the tip number we're showing right now, and you don't have to give your name. but that's the problem. i mean, it's really an epidemic out there that people don't want to get involved. this poor guy, he left miami to escape the violence, and what happens to him in connecticut? >> yeah. kate, are police continually on a daily basis reaching out to the students to please tell us something? >> pretty regularly, uconn students get e-mail updates from the police on how the investigation is going, or i guess what steps they're taking. i don't think in th

and mike baker, former cia operative. if fierce commentary were a cantaloupe i would slice him in half and scoop out his tender flesh every morning. our "new york times" correspondent, good to see you again, pinch. >> greg, a certain cia operative rolled me up into a ball and used me to kill a greenroom caterer because he didn't put skill man skim milks latte. it rhymes with smike, smabek. >> propaganda emerged about an al-qaeda terrorist bragging about his suicide attack. the bomb he is showing to the cameraman, show it. maybe he already showed it. was smuggled inside his body. the terrorist was able to safety pass through several metal detectors under the guise of a turncoat there to reveal al-qaeda's secrets. the cell phone device went off but it those he targeted escaped serious harm. the chilling new attack raises the question are airport security lines about to get worse via random body cavity searches on the lookout for explosives? god, i hope so. i mean not. meanwhile, a panda. they're beautiful. i just needed tha

>> i'm mike brooks in for nancy grace. well, the bottom line is here, folks, it's been a seven-month marriage between ronald and misty. but the question remains, where is that little, beautiful baby girl haleigh? i want to go out to nancy grace producer marlaina schiavo who has been on this case from the very beginning. mar lane awhat's the very latest that's going on in satsuma, florida, right now? >> reporter: well, mike, the divorce between misty an ronald is finalized and what does this mean? well, it means a few things. will ronald finally come clean and tell us what he really feels about what misty's been saying all along? will he admit the doubts that he has about misty? but also, mike, we learned today, right before we go to air that misty is now being represented, again, by her attorney. >> now wait a minute. this is the same guy that she just dropped after her appearance on one of the morning shows, and he says, hey, i don't want you anymore. you're on your own because you won't do what i tell you to do. same guy

how about that, mike brooks? is there any part of this investigation that may take place from this point forward that this might have been a publicity stunt, a hoax perhaps orchestrated by the father? there's no evidence of that, but is this something you might look at? >> the bottom line is, the little boy is safe, and he's not harmed. everything's turned out okay. but i think they're going to take a look at all this, vinnie. i was looking on my blackberry, and on my facebook page, somebody wrote that, how do you say publicity stunt. is it? we don't know. it's something that law enforcement will take a look into, because of the amount of assets, both police, fire and ems that were used during this search. i have to agree with the captain from the national guard, you know, as a former investigator and public servant myself, would they have done anything different? absolutely not. they were only going on the information that they had. and they had to do that. now they're going to step back, take a look, what else

mike. >> yeah. >> we're in touch with the authorities. you know, we've heard a lot from other victims, with every detail comes another person who gets the courage to give us a tall and tell us what really happened in that lodge. furthermore, what happened the entire week that led up to that lodge. we believe that's important. we know something criminal happened in there. we know kirby was murdered. everybody who knew kirby, knew this had to be an act beyond her control. >> let's listen to the sheriff. this is steve wah, basically talking about, though those who ran this, who organized this stwet lodge, should have known it could have been dangerous. let's listen. >> i don't know if they knew that people would be killed, but based upon some information that we have, as the people have become very sick, and these activities before, and as a result they should have had some pre-information about preparing for certain kinds of human responses to being in a building with no ventilation, and heat

how are we actually going to make pasta, mike was saying, look-- where did mike go? mike walked off. over 600 different sizes and styles of pasta, is that right? >> there are many pastas and the main thing that people like the homemade pasta, why many dry pastas, but nothing like homemade pastas, we make many, many at grissini's. what are you cooking? >> pasta with shrimp, a little spicy. and we have some ham and beef and with that we have some one mushroom and much better with-- >> these are all homemade. >> when you're eating al dente, when people say they're going to eat pasta al dente, the problem is people don't know how best to make sure that it's firm or not. what's the best way to test? >> best way to test it, salt and water and throw the pasta in and always test before draining. >> what am i looking for? >> you're looking for pasta that's firm. >> firm. >> firm. >> now, you know, my non-italian friends have a different way of testing it. they take a piece of pasta. >> throw it against the refrigerator. >> does that work? >> what happens if it doesn't stick?

now what, mike? >> well, as i said, you always have to be prepared that this guy or woman, whenever they stop, there's always the possibility they could bail out. and i guarantee you that in one of the first three vehicles behind this person is a k-9 you want. we see that a lot of times they'll come up with the dog because if this that person runs, they won't outrun a german shepard. so you always have to be prepared for a felony car stop. if the person does not bail, they'll try to get the person via pa system to turn the engine off, reach around with their left hand, take the key, put them out the car. but that's down the road. first we have to get the vehicle stopped. >> the fact that it's disabled, wally, does it make the pit maneuver more or less problematic? >> it's more problematic because the balance is off on the vehicle and if it was on high speed, it loses control. what mike mentioned is so true. they'll treat this as a felony and go through all the procedures needed for the safety of both

joining me now, mike walters, assignment manager at tmz. mike, i look at this list of requests. i can't help how really obscene they are. most americans make something like 30 grand a year or less. she spends that much in clothing every single month, doesn't she? >> yeah. well, here's the weird thing. this divorce is only a couple days old and the file's already over 600 pages. of both of them saying, here's what i want, here's what i want of the the most interesting thing what you're talking about, the dodgers itself, the entity is now a party in the divorce, because what they're saying in divorce court is that they both own the dodgers. she wants her job back, he wants sole ownership of the dodgers. the dodgers said if a judge gets involved in this in court, it's weird. >> yeah. i think it is very bizarre. mrs. mccourt's lawyer has plans to buy out her husband's ownership of the dodgers. this team is worth about $800 million. now, mr. mccourt says, huh-uh, i have no plans to sell the dodgers to her or anybody else. however, there's a possibility, as you just mentioned, mike, t

we'll bring in mike and pat as well when we come back. if you have a phone call, call in, 1-877-tell-hln. we want to know what happened to morgan harrington. eeeeeee >>> a 7-year-old florida girl found in a georgia landfall. buried under tons of garbage. identified by her little red jumpsuit and a birthmark. she was walking home from school. middle of the day. and she vanished in just moments. we will hear from her distraught mom and ask the question, who killed somer thompson. >>> how about this. sex ads, prostitution, said to be rampant on craigslist. sheriff claims the site is even pimping abused women and kids. but a judge is throwing out his lawsuit saying the, quote unquote, adult service section is not explicitly for sex. what? when the ad says sexy erotic playmate and buffy's booty on duty, that's not selling sex, huh? shouldn't someone hold craigslist accountable? we'll take your calls, 1-877-tell-hln. you can e-mail us at cnn.com/primenews. or text us at hlntv, just start your message with the word prime. it's your chance

>> absolutely, mike. somebody in the neighborhood because they wouldn't have used a local dumpster if they could have taken her out of town and done something else with her. here's something, i want to kind of change what the police have to say. first of all, somebody who doesn't necessarily know anything. it's amazing how many times serial killers will just simplysimply just jump out of the woodwork and disappear. their wives, girlfriend, guy next door says, well, he's a little odd but i never suspected anything. so somebody may not know anything. but here's what the police should be telling people along with what they've already said, the guy who did this is a sexual predator. he is a psycho path. he's probably a manipulative guy. probably lies. he probably is very narcissistic, and he probably has no empathy. if you know a guy like that, also if you know whether he's done anything shady in the days before or surrounding summer's abduction and murder, you should definitely report that to the police. but

i'm mike galanos. we have breaking news. police have made an arrest in the murder of a college football star. it happened just this morning. jasper howard, 20 years old, stabbed to death outside a school dance. the campus, university of connecticut. he just helped the team win their homecoming game. big win over louisville. he had the game ball. and then hour s later, he's dea. this is a little over a week ago. now the suspect is behind bars. john william lomax, just hours ago police made this announcement. >> uconn police have arrested the following -- john w. lomax iii, age 21 of bloomfield, connecticut, on the charge of murder and the second charge of conspiracy to commit assault in the first degree. >> all right. joining me to talk about this, we have john louisage, former criminal investigator. also with us, our hln law enforcement analyst mike brooks and david owens, reporter for "the hartford current." david, let's start with you on this one. lomax iii charged with murder. do police believe he's the one who stabbed ja

i'm mike galanos. disturbing details coming in on the college student who disappeared at a metallica concert. morgan harrington somehow separated from it her friends at an arena in charlottesville, virginia, hasn't been seen since saturday night, a junior at virginia tech, very close to her family, calls home every day. mom and dad say it is so out of character for her to just disappear with no contact. >> i'd like to say, if morgan is out there and hears us, please come home. someone f someone has morgan, please let her come home safely. morgan's a great kid, and this is a very atypical behavior. >> she is as beautiful inside as she is outside. she has family and friends that love her and miss her. if there's any information that anyone can offer that would help us find her, we would appreciate you contacting the police, because, as you can tell, we're pretty distraught. >> now cops may have found her purse along with her cell phone. the family pastor says what is really odd the phone's battery has be

mike schuh explains what will happen if you're caught breaking the new law. mike? >> kai, the law is just hours old. it is now illegal to text and drive. and being be forewarned. it's considered a primary offense. meaning if an officer sees you, that is enough for you to be pulled over. >> people have died, hit while someone was texting. it's still legal to read and text message. you just can't type one out or send it while driving. >> why do you think it's great? >> because if you're texting, your mind is not on the road. a lot of people say, i can do it and watch the road. it can't be done. >> reporter: maryland joins 18 other states in banning drivers from sending text messages. >> i think it's dangerous. you can't text and drive at the same time. >> you have to do one or the other. >> yeah. you have to do one or the other. >> things happen fast at highway speeds. in just one second, you'll travel at 65 miles an hour, you'll travel 100 feet. >> your mind is split in two different kay ways. >> so are are your eyes. your eyes should be on the road. >> we're going

>> if i'm mike tomlin i'm ecstatic. he challenged his football team. they had to get back to playing steeler football and they did it. cris talked about the offensive line play and that was tremendous tonight. mike tomlin challenged rashard mendenhall last week and sent a message to him and rashard responded tonight with 165 yards. pittsburgh did what they wanted to do. san diego not so much. rodney? >> well, san diego felt like they've owned this division the last four out of five years and basically took the title. if you look at the division, you look at kansas city, they are rebuilding mode. you look at oakland, they are just oakland raiders. then you look at denver, they felt like denver was in a rebuilding mode. now, all of a sudden, they are down. denver is 4-0 and they are down two games to denver. tough situation to be in. >> it really is. this was a statement game for san diego, too. . they lost two games last year in pittsburgh and had to prove to themselves they could win in pittsburgh and didn't get it done, especially early tonight. >> ve

then i'll throw to you, mike. the problem is we're exactly where we were before this crash except we're using public debt instead of private debt. we're using cheap money. we're still not building things. we have got to build things in this country and export things. that's radical but we have to do it. >> it helped a little but not enough. it was too small because president obama wanted too many republicans on. he got seven. we should have done more. >> mike barnicle? >> look. you know what helped? the wpa, that helped a little. there was no sense of community until december 7th, 1941. >> we can't depend on wars. we need other ways out. >> you won't get it for congress. they won't vote you anymore money. >> we need more courage in this country in congress and our political system. >> that's why barnicle is here. . a heart attack caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. plavix, taken with other heart medicines goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone to provide greater protection against heart attack or s

let's bring in jim, mike as we go through the numbers here. your initial thoughts, jim, on how the markets will trade. >> trade badly. need to know trade badly on a bad number. come in today being worried about tomorrow's number and hoping today will make us less worried. it didn't. if anything, it makes us more worried. over the last six trading days the market has tradeed with an ominous cloud every since that key reversal day. every time we try to rally we make a lower high than we did before. i think the point is this, six months with two ingredients to push the stock market up. one, clearly undervalued, two, with all this government hope that was put on the picture. now we've gotten to a point of six months we need more than that if we can't get it tomorrow, a substantial pullback. >> u.s. treasury prices extending gains after higher than expected trading. >> yeah, if the stock market doesn't trade down big today, i'm not sure what takes it down. this is a lousy number. i think as jim was just saying, we've got a series of bad news incide

delusional, mike. first of all, religion performs a very important psychological function in our culture. it gives us a sense of community, moral teaching, comfort in our own fear of dying. but if you think god is a trauma center who will step in and take care of things, come on, a priest told me this in a homily once, you know the old story of the guy who is drowning and three boats come by and he says, no, i have faith and god will save me. when he eventually saves me, he said, god, i prayed, and he said, i sent you three boats, you dummy. >> right. help us out. >> it is a kind of delusion. >> so then when they get in the courtroom and led me read mom's statement. no regrets. she writes, judge howard had a difficult task before him today in sentencing us but he was wise to consider our children's well-being and thrilled with this decision to allow us to stay as a family unit which was our main concern. the judge also realizes that jail time will not reform us, because he has witnessed our faith runs

delusional, mike. first of all, religion performs a very important psychological function in our culture. gives us a sense of community, moral teaching, comfort in our own fear of tieing. if you think god is a trauma center who is going to step in and take care of thing, mirngs come on. a priest told me this once. the story of a guy who's drowning. three boats come by, i have faith. when he drowns, he said, god, why didn't you save me? god said, i sent you three boats, you dumby. it's a delusion. >> mom, she's talking about the judge and the dilemma the judge had. she writes -- dads same mentality. he almost used the courtroom like a pulpit talking about his faith. for them, it's, what, their girl's a martyr and their going to continue on in this? >> guess what else that judge -- that judge sentenced them to getting good medical care and medical checkups for the other kids. he's maybe respecting their faith, but he's also saying, hey, it is neglect. like the gentleman caller who said a few minutes ago,
