The senator's going to have a firewall around his camp.
He's our in.
And how are you going to convince him to talk? I have a way with younger men.
The fingerprint on the chair is a definite match to a mark valera.
In the system for a b & e in '02.

We've issued a bolo.

One source describes the arrest as a giant misunderstanding.
Judy,any information on sara collins? Not yet.
The family and fbi aren't talking and no statement has been released sara collins has been gone less than five hours.
Spectators have already begun to gather outside the walls of the collins estate.
Be reachable by ht and stay in code.

Maybe she'll even let you touch her gun.
Marcy - sara's missing and you're acting like A - like a what? She wasn't always like this.
She loves sara.

- Used to? - About a year ago,something changed.

Talk to marcy.
Where's the senator? In his study.
-You want me to join? -No, I think I can handle it with nuance.
Sara's pregnant? You didn't know? Earlier tonight, she she was trying to tell me something.
She wanted a baby so badly.
Both of us.
We've id'd the concierge.
Mark valera.
That mean anything to you? No.
(ȱһ¾ä) Senator -offer a reward.
-Protocol is to wait.
Protocol?! 24 hours.
A mile a minute.
That's how fast they can travel.
That's how fast they're taking her away.
60 minutes is 60 miles.
Five hours and 20 minutes we are not going to open up this case to a thousand bogus leads.
And you're not going to communicate anything to the public, not until we're contacted by whoever took sara (ȱһ¾ä) you have any hope of finding her alive,you'll trust our methods.
Oh, blind faith in the fbi.
(ȱһ¾ä) Faith makes me nervous.
So, blind faith must be terrifying.
She have any enemies? She teaches second grade.
She runs a charity.
(ȱһ¾ä) That's right,you're a politician.
Yeah.
So, who really hates you, senator? His ex-wife.
She's in europe.
Track her down.
Torres calleD.
Wants to know if you are treating the senator with, quote, "appropriate deference.
" Well, all right then.
Graham if you make it obvious that he's a suspect (Ç°Ã滹ÓÐ)on this case.
Is that what you think should happen? I'm on your side, remember? We finalized the 24 hours preceding her disappearance.
We now have a discrepancy in sara's timeline between 1:00 and 3:00 P.
M.
Senator says sara collins skipped lunch, told him she had a dental appointment.
Dental office has no record.
She drives a new bmw.
It has a gps mapping system that's downloadable as a limited stream.
We can convert that into a point-by-point for the entire time she's behind the wheel.
Techs in a/v are downloading it now.
In case you're interested.
Take over.
Graham.
Prelim findings on our concierge.
£¨È±Ò»¾ä£© Never filed a w-2,applied for a credit card,£¨È±Ò»¾ä£© so what do we got? Four weeks ago he paid cash for a used taurus.
£¨È±Ò»¾ä£© It's ready.
Download's complete.
Sara collins left the estate at 12:30.
Map it.
Drove directly to covington at 1:14.
What's in covington? Rosewater cafe.
I'll have local pd stake it out and I'll be there in the morning when it opens.
Do iT.
Graham.
I have no doubt about your capabilities that's good, because I can't run this case with someone looking over my shoulder.
Not like last time.
£¨È±Ò»¾ä£© Mr.
And mrs.
Jerome,sara's parents,just got in from orlando.
They're in your office.
Yesterday afternoon,sara left us a voicemail.
She was upset.
Said she needed to tell us something important.
We didn't get the message till until she was already gone.
£¨È±Ò»¾ä£© She said she had to talk with us about jeffrey.
Were they having problems? The wedding was magical.
We assumed the marriage was, too.
Are you aware she's pregnant? That's not possible.
Years ago, she suffered from endometriosis.
She had an operation;she can't conceive.
Kelton, pd's just got a hit on mark valera.
Mlk and pryor.
Okay.
Um I'm sorry.
I'll be in touch soon as possible.
(ȱһ¾ä)1 (ȱһ¾ä)2 (ȱһ¾ä)3 (ȱһ¾ä)4 get out of the car with your hands on your head.
That's not valera.
Interior's clear.
That's valera.
We got our guy.
Yeah.
Now where's our girl? kid driving the taurus claims he found the car in front of his apartment.
Keys were in the ignition,so he figured "why not?" And why not just stop if the cops were in pursuit? Third strike.
I'm pretty sure he didn't know there was a body in the trunk.
The time of death was between 7:30 and 8:00 P.
M.
Which means he was shot within an hour of retrieving sara from the ballroom.
Is your scale accurate, doc? Sure.
Why? 93 grains.
It's a little unusual for a 30 caliber.
Have ballistics work it up.
(ȱһ¾ä)1 (ȱһ¾ä)2 Looks like a nine.
It's not a gang moniker.
I'll have quantico run it through c-jis.
It's an odd placement for a tat,but how is it relevant? Based on the absence of microphages in the dermis, he was killed and then inked.
You never came to bed.
sorry! Blitzer had the gulf wargreta got O.
J (ȱһ¾ä) what's this? Okay.
Sara collins, formerly sara jerome, was born in orlando.
So I queried her name on the sentinel database out popped a missing persons fax alert from 12 years ago.
She's gone missing before.
Yeah, the ages match up.
But get this there's not a single related news item.
Not only did sara disappear,but the story did, too.
Sure I remember her.
They were here during lunchtime.
Only ordered ice tea.
She was here with someone? (ȱһ¾ä) Wore sunglasses inside.
Every time I approached their table,they got real quiet.
Where were they sitting? Right over there.
I know atms have cameras,but the scope's limited.
And they've retrofitted it with a wider angle lens.
(ȱһ¾ä) Thoughtfully provided to help keep an eye on our scary new world.
Have a tech download the file,decompress and transcode to standard avi.
ben.
Ben.
.
ben.
ben Well, jeff, in my exclusiveinterview, mr.
Wilson confirmed that he and the senator's daughter,marcy collins,are involved.
It was her idea (ȱһ¾ä) however, in light of the abduction, all members of the collins family will find themselves under intense scrutiny.
It will be hard for any of them to keep secrets.
Thank you for that, judy.
Fire burned through a vacant north atlanta home early this morning hey.
You got away.
Yeah.
Tell them where you were going? Why, what does it matter? Did you talk about us? To a reporter? Yeah, she called me.
(ȱһ¾ä) Don't talk to anyone.
What's wrong? Marce if we start driving now,we can make new york in ten hours.
New york? What happened to miami? Well, my buddy in brooklyn finally returned my call.
(ȱһ¾ä) Not with sara missing.
Yeah.
Okay, I I get it.
It's just what aren't you telling me? Okay.
We'll go.
We should get some sleep first.

Can you cut the glare? I'll try a filter.
He's here.
(ȱһ¾ä)1 (ȱһ¾ä)2 (ȱһ¾ä)I'm a little confused.
We know she did.
(ȱһ¾ä) I think I've got it.
That's jessica.
Your ex-wife? Yes.
I guess she's not in europe.
I don't understand.
They've never met before.
When was the last time you saw her? A year, longer.
Try to keep it to phone calls.
You know her cell number? (ȱһ¾ä) Right there.
Are we online to triangulate? Yeah, but the vicinity is limited to county lines.
You've reached jessica nevins.
You know what to do.
724 west peachtree street.
The biltmore hotel.
Jessica nevins,fbi.
Warrant.
Open up.
(ȱһ¾ä) Still warm.
Bathroom's clea stand down.
She's gone.
Yes, I know the supreme court hearing's in two days, but right now I'm only thinking about sara.
I appreciate it.
They're doing all they can.
Thanks for your prayers.
I'll need to hear all the testimony before I can say.
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, mr.
President.
Dad, you wanted to see m you know your your mother's in town.
Nice of her to call.
Anything else? How you holding up? I should be asking you.
-Is there something new? -Hold on, max.
I'm sorry.
(ȱһ¾ä) I got to get back to you.
We found brunette hairs in your ex-wife's hotel room.
Sara's?Morphology's consistent.
We're going to wait on dna.
They were pulled out by the roots,which suggests a struggle.
-(ȱһ¾ä) -No And you had no idea jessica was at that hotel? No.
You don't believe me.
-Well, senator -(ȱһ¾ä) well, what bothers me is that it's going on 21 hours, your wife's still missing and we're standing here talking about what bothers you.
Tell me about nathan miller.
He died.
Yes, and you took full responsibility.
From the congress, the media.
It was my case.
(ȱһ¾ä)I've read your memo.
Before that operation went down, you protested a direct order to use lethal force saying it would endanger the life of the boy.
You were right,but you were overruled.
But you still took the blame.
This time, you get a direct order that endangers the life of my wife.
Don't write a memo.
Do whatever it takes to get sara back.
Mr.
And mrs.
Jerome,I'm judy nash, wcn.
We know who you are.
Excuse us.
Why are you staying at a hotel, instead of with your son-in-law? I have information that your daughter(ȱһ¾ä) I have a copy of the fax alert from orlando.
What do you want? (ȱһ¾ä) You tell me not to mention the fax alert, I won'T.
Why don't you tell me something that might help find sara.
Start talking.

She looks exactly as she did when she disappeared.
This condensation and her skin it's pink.
She was frozen postmortem.
Killed back then,kept on ice until now? "929.
" Looks like a saint.
(ȱһ¾ä) Nathan.
Good evening.
Here at the collins' estate well-wishers gathered to hold a vigil-- just as 24 yours ago, atlanta's elite gathered at the biltmore hotel at a gala dinner to honor sara collins, wife of senator jeffrey collins for her efforts on behalf of early childhood education.
Then moments before she was scheduled to deliver the opening remarks, sara collins vanished.
Investigators now believe she was kidnapped.
At first it was thought that marcy collins, the senator's daughter by a prior marriage was also missing.
However late last night she was found at the home of her boyfriend in the suburbs of chamblee.
(ȱһ¾ä) Had been dating his daughter for that past year.
Meanwhile a source has informed me that the fbi has taped off (ȱһ¾ä) registered to jessica nevin, the senator's ex-wife.
She is considered a person of interest and investigators are attempting to locate her.
And while the senator and his family remain in seclusion and nospeaking to reporters, there still remain questions about the senator's own involvement with his wife's disappearance.
In an exclusive interview,I spoke to the parents of sara collins, who informed me their daughter left them an urgent voice mail saying she needed to talk with them about her husband.
In their words, they could hear panic in sara's voice.
Fbi special agent graham kelton is leading the investigation.
A controversial choice given his handling of the recent nathan miller tragedy.
The past 24 hours have galvanized the public.
From where I'm standing,I'm surrounded by dozens of well-wishers.
Some holding pictures,some leaving handwritten notes and prayers.
We'll continue to stay on top of this fast-developing story.
Reporting live from outside senator collins' estate in buckhead,I'm judy nash.
sorry I'm late.
Two days before we set out for the grand banks(ȱһ¾ä) still time to catch up.
Two more.
Don't be obvious, but check out the brunette at the end of the bar.
I just sent her a cold one,so I'm in for the rest of the night.
But we've got to work on you.
what did I just say? The fbi has established an 800 number what's going on, pete? (ȱһ¾ä) Sara collins? Her name's nicki nicki johnson.
12 years ago I asked her to marry me.
I never saw her again.
