with diane, and diane has brothers and diane's mother had a relationship with her sons, diane's brothers. so it was really uniquely diane who held some kind of unarticulated grudge against her mother. >> parents get divorced, but it's very rare that a 9-year-old daughter would not go with her mother in a divorce at that particular point in time. so diane herself needed to use some denial to go ahead and survive the trauma of being abandoned by her mother at the age of 9. of course, it's very painful for a 9-year-old. i think she had that vulnerabity about her. >> this is sergeant temple. >> my name is brad. i'm actually trying to help a friend right now. they're on their way home from a connecting trip with their aunt. they just called my friend, saying that the aunt is driving erratically, that they are at a rest center. the best thing they can understand is that they are in tarrytown and those are the signs that they saw. >> okay. >> the aunt isn't picking up the cell phone right now. >> do you know what kind of car they're in? >> yeah, they are in a minivan, red, with a ski rack on it

diane: we wish you a happy new year. we are waiting for president obama to come out and speak on us any second now. he will be speaking after the house passed a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff it was passed by the senate earlier. the senate passed it 89 to eight. it was also passed the house. this would raise taxes on individuals making more than $400,000 per year for couples earning $450,000 per year. here is the president. let's listen to what he has to say to happy new year, everybody. essential promise of my campaign was to change the tax code that was too skewed towards the wealthy at the expense of working middle-class americans. tonight, we have done that. thanks to the votes of democrats and republicans in congress. i will sign a law that raises taxes on the wealthiest 2% of americans while preventing a middle-class tax hike that could send the economy back into recession. that obviously had a severe impact on families across america. i want to thank all of the leaders of the house and senate. in particular, i wan

diane? >> all right. alex, thank you. >>> and some numbers to keep in mind tonight because every year 750,000 children go missing in america. of those, 58,000 are abducted by someone outside the family. the vast majority of cases are solved in the first 48 hours. but so many times, strangers in the neighborhood are the ones who have helped. so, for more, now, on what all of us can do for our neighbors, i talked to john walsh, host of "america's most wanted" about what he sees when he looks at cleveland. >> i look at a wonderful occurrence. and i look at two incredible heroes. one, amanda berry, who knew she had to get out of that house of hell alive and get her little daughter out of there. and never stopped trying. and of course, charles ramsey. for me, it was incredible to see these three missing women and this child alive because of one man that said, i am going to help a woman in distress. >> he did not walk away. so, for everyone at home watching this, tell them what to watch for. tell them small thi

we had arrived in dian fossey's camp in january 1978, just days after dian's favorite gorilla, a young male, his name was digit, had been savagely and brutally killed by poachers. dian was grief stricken, it was though she had lost a child. and on top of that, she was in extremely poor health, spitting blood. we became witness to a slow-motion tragedy. gorillas had been illegally killed in the virunga volcanoes national park throughout the '60s and '70s. when dian had arrived, there were about 500 left. but there were only about half that number at the time of our visit, and dian had taken it upon herself to organize anti-poaching patrols. never before had it been so clear to me that a species was heading for disaster. it was just dian fossey who was standing between the mountain gorillas and extinction. on our last evening at her camp, dian called me to her sickbed and made me promise to do something to help save the gorillas. and when i got back to britain i kept that promise, and got together with other conservationists, and jointly we created the mountain gorilla fund. we raised mo

aunt diane can't -- something's wrong with aunt diane. >> meaning, do you think she consumed or do they think she consumed something or someone gave her something? the kids knew something was up. >> clearly their aunt was acting incoherently. she was looking for some advil, maybe the pot and alcohol was a way of addressing that pain. not a healthy or safe way but maybe that's what was going on. we know that diane smoked marijuana occasionally to relax. but people said she was not a big drinker. obviously something happened that day to get her out of control. the combination of marijuana and alcohol together can make people -- their judgment very, very impaired. >> liz, i want to listen to another clip of the documentary hearing diane's husband throat an idea that an abscessed tooth kour had something to do with the accident. >> say we exhume the body and there's a really bad abscessed tooth, we have x-rays from years ago. >> the question will still prevail, how did it cause -- >> maybe she had a stroke and by mistake she thought it was water and drank it. >> is he in dee nile? >> look,

diane. >> and just a few of the details again. there is a throne at some point and the pope can choose to sit in it or stand? >> the pope has a lot of those kind of decisions to make. the pope could resurrect some of the practices that have not been used in sometimes in centuries, but even the more recent times the papal tiara, these are things the world will be watching carefully to see exactly what the pope does and says. it's all going to start here in a few minutes when the pope addresses this crowd after his blessing. and you know, there's so much importance giving to these words. his very first appearance before the world. that will be followed in coming days by a homily that he'll give with cardinals then his inaugural mass and first decisions about who he wants to appoint as chief aid. i agree, there's going to be intense media and worldwide interest through every steps he takes. >> will be it an italian pope? there have been 213, 16 french, 6 german. will it be another nationality? also age, we know pope benedict was 78,

why is that, diane? >> because some things are just so one-sided that the judge decides it's not allowed. i'm struck by the overall tone of today was, in my opinion, that george zimmerman after what happened happened was completely compliant with the police. he talked to them, he did not say i want a lawyer. he said whatever you need, check out my injuries, take my picture, put me in front of a video camera. he was completely compliant. now really in effect george zimmerman testified in court today without ever having to take the stand, but some jurors might say, my decide, you know what, he's pretty dispassionate. he just killed a man and there he sat for hours and hours writing out the text. he never once was reported to be cry organize upset. he did to the know in the beginning that george zimmerman was dead. the first detective doris singleton told him and he did drop his head, she said, but there was no real emotion and that might count for some of the jurors. >> jeff, your take on the admission of
