[0:04] On World News Tonight this Thursday,
[0:06] sifting through a thousand leads for a
[0:08] suspected killer with 30 different
[0:10] names. Before the US bombed the Chinese
[0:13] embassy in Bgrade, a CIA analyst warned
[0:16] it was the wrong target.
[0:19] We'll take a closer look at childhood
[0:21] anxiety. It can lead to paralyzing fear
[0:25] and nostalgia for sale.
[0:28] bidding on a piece of rock and roll
[0:30] history.
[0:38] From ABC News World Headquarters in New
[0:41] York, this is World News Tonight with
[0:44] Peter Jennings.
[0:45] >> Good evening. They do not know where he
[0:47] is. The largest manhunt in the country
[0:49] at the moment for the drifter Raphael
[0:51] Rosendez Ramirez has produced sightings
[0:53] from virtually every part of the country
[0:55] which seems to go with being on the
[0:57] FBI's 10 most wanted list. He's wanted
[0:59] in connection with eight murders in
[1:01] three states, but they have not found
[1:03] him. The center of the investigation
[1:05] tonight is in Kentucky. ABC's Dean
[1:07] Reynolds reports from Lexington.
[1:12] As a freight train rolled slowly through
[1:14] Lexington, Kentucky today, police here
[1:16] focused on the underbrush just a few
[1:18] feet from the tracks. A hobo camp filled
[1:21] with the debris of ruthless lives. Just
[1:24] the kind of place police believe is
[1:26] favored by the homicidal drifter at the
[1:28] center of a nationwide manhunt.
[1:30] >> Couple of those passing around
[1:32] >> Spanish on one side, English on the
[1:33] other. Acting on hard information that
[1:36] Ramirez may be in this area, Lexington
[1:38] police are also blanketing homeless
[1:40] shelters with pictures of the murder
[1:42] suspect.
[1:43] >> We want to make sure they know who he is
[1:45] and and uh who to call when they see
[1:47] him.
[1:48] >> The site of Hispanic migrant workers
[1:50] walking the tracks is not unusual here
[1:52] in the summer, but attention is on
[1:54] Lexington now for an important reason.
[1:56] Those who claim to have spoken with
[1:58] Ramirez during the last week at a
[2:00] shelter in Louisville say he told them
[2:03] he was going toward Lexington in search
[2:05] of a job as a migrant worker. At the
[2:08] Saint Vincent Depal homeless shelter in
[2:10] Louisville, several men said Ramirez was
[2:12] in that city as recently as last Sunday.
[2:15] They remember he seemed angry and upset.
[2:18] >> He was acting out right
[2:20] like cursing and slamming his glass
[2:23] down.
[2:24] So far, the FBI has received,00 leads.
[2:28] Today, it opened up a second 800 number
[2:30] for information, and it released a new
[2:32] photograph of this man with the 30
[2:34] aliases, who has given 15 different
[2:37] birth dates, and whose appearance
[2:39] changes frequently and marketkedly. Dean
[2:42] Reynolds, ABC News, Lexington, Kentucky.
[2:45] In other news today, we learned that
[2:46] before American pilots bombed the
[2:48] Chinese embassy in Bgrade last month, US
[2:50] officials were warned more than once
[2:53] that it was not the building they wanted
[2:54] to hit. The Washington Post reported
[2:56] this morning that the warnings came from
[2:58] an analyst at the Central Intelligence
[2:59] Agency. And so why were the bombs
[3:01] dropped anyway? And why does the CIA
[3:04] continue to make mistakes? Here's ABC's
[3:06] John Cochr.
[3:09] On May 4th, 3 days before the bombing,
[3:11] the CIA analysts looked at satellite
[3:13] photos and discovered that agency
[3:15] planners were targeting the wrong
[3:17] building. Not this building, the arms
[3:19] purchasing headquarters they wanted to
[3:21] hit. But no one paid attention. Not at
[3:24] the CIA, not at air operations
[3:26] headquarters in Italy.
[3:27] >> This mid-level officer called a
[3:30] mid-level officer in Europe and conveyed
[3:34] his concerns. 3 days later, the analyst
[3:37] learned the building was on that night's
[3:38] target list. He called Italy again, but
[3:41] no one he spoke to knew anything about
[3:43] his earlier call.
[3:44] >> At that point, he was he was informed
[3:46] that the planes were in the air.
[3:47] >> The embassy was hit. A major crisis with
[3:50] China followed, and the CIA had another
[3:52] failure to add to a growing list. India.
[3:56] The CIA is shocked when India conducts a
[3:58] nuclear test. North Korea. The CIA is
[4:01] caught off guard when the North Koreans
[4:03] test a missile with the potential to hit
[4:05] part of the United States. Sudan.
[4:08] American missiles hit a terrorist target
[4:10] that may have had nothing to do with
[4:12] terrorism. The CIA admits it has
[4:15] problems that it takes in so much
[4:17] information it does not have the tools
[4:19] to sort it all out. But sometimes the
[4:21] information itself is wrong and critics
[4:24] say the CIA must put more agents on the
[4:26] ground. In Bgrade, a real live agent
[4:30] could have checked out targets. In the
[4:32] meantime, the CIA's critics, especially
[4:34] those in Congress, say that for $29
[4:36] billion a year, it should be able to buy
[4:38] a new map of Bgrade, or at least to
[4:41] listen when someone says, "Guys, I don't
[4:44] know what this target is, but it's not
[4:46] what you think it is." John Cochran, ABC
[4:49] News, Washington. The Secretary General
[4:51] of NATO and US General Wesley Clark, who
[4:54] ran the NATO air campaign, paid their
[4:55] first visit to Kosovo today. They told a
[4:58] crowd that the growing evidence of Serb
[5:00] atrocities justified NATO's air war. The
[5:03] State Department is now offering up to
[5:04] $5 million for information leading to
[5:06] the arrest of indicted Yugoslav war
[5:09] criminals, including President
[5:10] Mallovich. And the search for evidence
[5:13] is intensifying. Today, FBI forensic
[5:16] teams got down to work at one suspected
[5:19] massacre site at Yago Vita. ABC's Terry
[5:22] Moran is there.
[5:25] Under heavy guard today in this wrecked
[5:27] city, FBI agents began gathering
[5:29] evidence at the crime scene. 20 people,
[5:32] 19 of them women and children, were shot
[5:34] and their bodies burned in this basement
[5:37] and at an adjacent house. Schlesve says
[5:40] his cousin lived here with his wife and
[5:42] their five children. He played with
[5:44] these children the day before they were
[5:45] killed.
[5:47] This is one of the seven sites
[5:49] specifically identified in the
[5:50] indictment of Yugoslav leader Sloban
[5:52] Maloshvich. Because in each case, there
[5:54] are witnesses here, a 9-year-old boy who
[5:57] escaped the massacre. The FBI's work
[5:59] here and that of other teams at crime
[6:01] scenes across Kosovo marks just the
[6:03] first step in the case. The real
[6:05] challenge for prosecutors is to build
[6:07] the evidence step by step from the
[6:09] killing scenes in Kosovo to Belgrade and
[6:12] Sloban Malashovich.
[6:15] The next step identifying which Yugoslav
[6:18] army and police units were involved in
[6:20] massacres. The departing Serbs
[6:22] frantically tried to destroy files at
[6:24] the police headquarters in Pristina last
[6:26] week, but NATO soldiers still managed to
[6:28] seize thousands of documents. When we
[6:31] can tie the dates on those kind of memos
[6:33] and reports to specific acts of war
[6:35] crimes that we can prove with the
[6:37] forensic evidence, you have a clear
[6:39] chain of command responsibility. Perhaps
[6:41] the best evidence against Maloshovich is
[6:43] not any specific crime, but the sheer
[6:45] scale of the atrocities in Kosovo that
[6:47] proves the Serb ethnic cleansing
[6:49] campaign was deliberate, says the US
[6:51] ambassador for war crimes. You
[6:53] demonstrate that planning by showing
[6:56] such a widespread execution of crimes in
[6:59] such a systematic way that there is no
[7:02] conclusion that could be reached other
[7:04] than that it was planned. But for all
[7:06] the evidence investigators may gather
[7:08] and all the arguments prosecutors may
[7:10] make, they are still missing a critical
[7:12] element for trial. The defendant who
[7:15] remains in power in Belgrade. Terry
[7:17] Moran, ABC News. Jakavit Kosovo. There
[7:21] is concern today about one thing that
[7:22] seems to have been lost in the
[7:24] settlement ending the war in Kosovo. The
[7:26] International Committee of the Red Cross
[7:28] says that when the Yugoslav army left
[7:30] Kosovo, it took as many as 3,000 Kosovo
[7:33] Albanian prisoners with it. The ICRC is
[7:36] concerned for their safety and doesn't
[7:38] have access to them. NATO will not say
[7:40] whether it even tried to negotiate the
[7:42] prisoners release. When we come back, an
[7:45] investigation into pilot procedures at
[7:48] American Airlines and going hungry in
[7:51] America when good times are bad.
[7:56] This is World News Tonight with Peter
[7:58] Jennings, brought to you by Charles
[8:00] Schwab.
[8:07] >> Hi, I have a question about buying
[8:08] stock. What's the difference between a
[8:11] market order and a limit order?
[8:18] Hello.
[8:24] Excuse me. When you have an investment
[8:26] question, does your online brokerage
[8:28] have anybody there to answer it? We do.
[8:32] >> It's It's not funny anymore.
[8:34] >> It's time time for your heartburn to
[8:36] kick in because your heartburn relief
[8:38] gave out. It happens two or more days a
[8:41] week, even though you've treated it and
[8:42] changed your diet. That frequent
[8:44] persistent heartburn may be due to acid
[8:46] reflux disease, potentially serious.
[8:52] It's Pryloc time. Time to see your
[8:54] doctor about prescription Pryloc. Your
[8:57] results may vary, but for many people,
[8:59] Pryloc provides 24 hours of complete
[9:02] heartburn relief with one daily dose.
[9:04] Ask your doctor for more information
[9:06] about Pryloc and if it's right for you.
[9:09] The most common side effects are
[9:10] headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
[9:13] 24 hours of complete heartburn relief is
[9:15] possible. It's pryloc time.
[9:20] The Federal Aviation Administration is
[9:22] investigating safety procedures at
[9:23] American Airlines. Americans safety
[9:26] standards and its crew training have
[9:28] been praised as a model for the
[9:29] industry. But over the last six years,
[9:32] the airline has had more accidents than
[9:33] any other American carrier, including
[9:36] the recent crash in Little Rock,
[9:38] Arkansas. Here's ABC's Lisa Stark.
[9:41] >> Crash investigators are looking at
[9:43] possible similarities between the Little
[9:45] Rock accident and at least five other
[9:47] American Airline crashes. All occurred
[9:50] during approach and landing. Many
[9:52] involved experienced pilots apparently
[9:54] making critical mistakes. Among them, in
[9:57] 1995 near Cali, Colombia, a crew made a
[10:00] series of errors in navigation
[10:02] procedures and flew into a mountain,
[10:04] killing 160. That same year, a crew
[10:07] failed to properly set their altitude
[10:09] gauge and clip trees while landing in
[10:12] Connecticut. No one was hurt. And last
[10:15] year, a 727 ended up off the runway on
[10:18] touchdown in Chicago. Again, no
[10:20] injuries. A question for all airlines in
[10:23] incidents like these. How well are
[10:25] pilots being trained and does that
[10:28] training stick in the cockpit?
[10:30] >> In about 60 to 70% of the accidents over
[10:32] the last 10 years where decision-m is
[10:34] part of it, there were procedures that
[10:36] were not followed that if they had been
[10:38] followed would have absolutely prevented
[10:40] the accident.
[10:41] >> American issued a statement on its
[10:43] hotline saying there appear to be
[10:45] similarities in these mishaps.
[10:47] >> For that reason, I have ordered a
[10:49] thorough toptobottom review of our
[10:52] flight operations. There was a similar
[10:55] review after the Cali crash, but the
[10:57] Little Rock accident once again raises
[10:59] the question, is there something wrong
[11:01] at the nation's second largest airline?
[11:04] Lisa Stark, ABC News, Washington.
[11:07] >> On the Monday Tonight, Wall Street
[11:09] first, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
[11:10] was down 132 points to close at 10,534.
[11:14] On the Nasdaq, stocks were down just a
[11:16] little over 44 points. A victory for
[11:19] organized labor at a notoriously anti-UN
[11:22] company. After a 25-year struggle,
[11:24] Carolina's textile giant, Fieldcraft
[11:27] Cannon. The workers there voted to
[11:29] unionize. In Hungary, a novel way to
[11:32] support the local church. The Catholic
[11:34] Church has approved a plan to rent out
[11:36] bell towers to mobile phone companies,
[11:38] which need a place for their
[11:40] transmission antenna. Wells Fargo, the
[11:43] first bank in the country with automatic
[11:44] teller machines that talk. The bank
[11:46] agreed to install ATMs that prompt you
[11:48] verbally after a group representing the
[11:50] blind threatened to sue. In a moment,
[11:55] inflation is down. Hunger is up. What's
[11:58] going on? We'll be right back.
[12:05] >> Tylenol House Call. Information for
[12:08] healthy living. Well, it started in my
[12:10] hand. Now I feel it in my knee.
[12:12] >> K. Cook is one of over 20 million
[12:15] Americans with osteoarthritis, the most
[12:17] common form of arthritis. Researchers
[12:19] have discovered that the pain and
[12:21] stiffness of osteoarthritis are not
[12:23] caused from inflammation as once
[12:25] thought, but from the gradual wearing
[12:27] down of cartilage, the shockabsorbing
[12:29] tissue in the joints.
[12:31] >> I was surprised when the doctor told me
[12:33] it wasn't inflammation.
[12:34] >> If you have osteoarthritis, what should
[12:37] you do? Experts recommend exercise for
[12:40] strength and flexibility. And if you
[12:42] have pain, experts recommend the
[12:44] medicine in Tylenol arthritis extended
[12:46] relief first. Tylenol arthritis works up
[12:49] to twice as long as regular aspirin
[12:51] without the risk of stomach irritation.
[12:53] >> I have arthritis, but I don't let it
[12:55] stop me.
[12:56] >> If you have the symptoms of arthritis,
[12:58] talk to your doctor. You can get relief.
[13:01] >> Tylenol House Call is brought to you by
[13:03] Extra Strength Tylenol.
[13:09] >> Americans love scenery. We can't get
[13:11] enough of it. We don't care how far it
[13:13] is. We want to see it all. Good thing
[13:15] there's Chevy Malibu, a car designed to
[13:17] take us anywhere and back. It'll
[13:19] actually go up to 100,000 mi before its
[13:22] first scheduled tuneup. That's a lot of
[13:24] vacations and a lot of souvenirs.
[13:27] So, take the long way home. It's the car
[13:29] you knew America could build. Malibu.
[13:32] Genuine Chevrolet.
[13:36] >> Raisin brand, huh?
[13:37] >> Uh, yeah.
[13:39] Hey, what's going on?
[13:40] >> That Raisin Brand has less than half
[13:42] your folic acid for the day. Even less
[13:44] of your zinc.
[13:45] >> That's a weeny breakfast, Frank.
[13:47] >> There's almost no vitamin E at all.
[13:50] Looks like you need total Raisin Brand.
[13:52] Just one bowl gives you 100% of 10
[13:54] important vitamins and minerals you need
[13:55] for the day. No other Raisin Brand comes
[13:57] close.
[13:58] >> And a boy.
[14:00] >> And there's room for my spoon.
[14:02] >> Total. Total Raisin Brand total corn
[14:03] flakes. What are you getting for
[14:05] breakfast?
[14:07] For the third time in four years, the
[14:09] House of Representatives has approved a
[14:10] constitutional amendment to ban
[14:12] desecration of the American flag. The
[14:15] flag burning amendment, as it's called.
[14:17] Opponents say the ban runs counter to
[14:19] the constitutional right to freedom of
[14:21] speech. The bill now goes to the Senate
[14:23] where it has been defeated before.
[14:26] Tonight, something of a setback for
[14:28] conventional wisdom. So many people are
[14:30] doing so well in the country these days
[14:32] that it is difficult for some of them to
[14:34] believe that hunger in America is
[14:36] actually increasing. But it is. Here's
[14:40] ABC's Aaron Hayes.
[14:43] Hard times we all understand. Easy to
[14:46] see how people could go hungry when the
[14:48] economy has gone bust.
[14:52] But when things are booming, when food
[14:54] is everywhere we look, it can be hard to
[14:57] accept there's real hunger in America.
[15:00] But there is.
[15:01] >> Are there times of the month when you
[15:03] just run out of food?
[15:04] >> Yes. Especially about the middle to the
[15:06] end.
[15:06] >> It's like every time you think you get
[15:08] caught up, you're not caught up.
[15:10] >> For the first time in our history when
[15:11] we've had a a bright economic outlook
[15:14] like this, hunger is not decreasing. And
[15:16] in fact, in many areas of the country,
[15:18] it's actually increasing. The latest
[15:21] report shows a 14% increase in the
[15:23] number of people requesting emergency
[15:25] food, mostly from the nation's charity
[15:28] food banks. An estimated 20 million
[15:30] Americans at some point last year,
[15:32] needed that help. And surprisingly,
[15:35] about a third of those coming to food
[15:37] banks like this one for help have a job.
[15:40] But what many jobs pay these days leaves
[15:42] millions of people living perilously
[15:44] close to hard times. If it's a pay your
[15:47] power bill or feed your family, well,
[15:49] you need to keep the power on in your
[15:51] house, but you've got a child here who's
[15:52] saying, "Mommy, I'm hungry." How do you
[15:54] how do what do you do?
[15:56] >> Daddy, you got a fork.
[15:58] >> People like the house. Kelly took a
[16:00] second job when Randy injured his leg,
[16:02] found himself out of work with medical
[16:04] bills piling up.
[16:06] >> We usually uh end up about $400 short,
[16:09] if not more, every month.
[16:12] >> So, Randy worked up the nerve to go to a
[16:14] food bank. Too many people, hunger
[16:16] experts warn, are in the same spot.
[16:19] >> Almost every day, any American is going
[16:22] to see hungry people and not know.
[16:24] >> Easier to accept the conventional wisdom
[16:26] that if we don't see the hunger, it
[16:29] doesn't really exist. Aaron Hayes, ABC
[16:31] News, Atlanta.
[16:34] >> In a moment, children and anxiety, the
[16:36] toll it can take on the children and on
[16:38] the family. We'll take a closer look.
[16:45] When some people have allergies, they
[16:47] sneeze a lot. Others get an itchy, runny
[16:50] nose or nasal congestion. Me, I had it
[16:54] all. So, I said to my doctor, "Enough
[16:56] already." He prescribed Flownese nasal
[16:59] spray.
[16:59] >> Multi symptom flown once a day relieves
[17:02] all nasal allergy symptoms. In fact,
[17:04] it's the number one prescribed nasal
[17:06] allergy spray for any or all of those
[17:08] nasal symptoms.
[17:09] >> All it takes is Flise. Even kids as
[17:12] young as four can use Fllonese. For best
[17:14] results, Flonese must be used daily.
[17:16] Call to learn more or ask your doctor.
[17:18] Side effects are generally mild and may
[17:20] include headache, nose, bleed, or sore
[17:22] throat. For nasal allergy relief, ask
[17:24] your doctor about multi symptom flown.
[17:27] >> When you get it all, all it takes is
[17:29] flown.
[17:40] When should we support the Olympic
[17:42] athlete?
[17:46] Just before winning the fifth gold
[17:48] medal.
[17:52] What if we supported them during their
[17:54] rise to the nationals
[17:58] or while training for the state
[17:59] championships?
[18:04] What if we supported them when they had
[18:06] nothing to show but their dreams?
[18:18] >> The UAW and General Motors together are
[18:21] committed to supporting tomorrow's
[18:22] Olympians and their families today and
[18:25] into the future.
[18:31] >> Mrs. Dash is shaking up cooking
[18:33] >> today. We're cooking with skinless,
[18:35] boneless chicken breasts and Mrs. Dash
[18:36] garlic and herb. It's 100% natural herbs
[18:39] and spices. There's no salt or MSG, just
[18:42] the good stuff.
[18:43] >> Call for more recipes.
[18:47] >> Opening arguments start at 9:30 whether
[18:49] this arthritis pain goes away or not.
[18:51] So, I took Advil Liquid Gels. Nothing's
[18:54] been proven stronger on arthritis pain.
[18:56] They're the only pain reliever with
[18:57] liquid inside. Advil Liquid Gels,
[18:59] stronger than pain.
[19:05] Tonight, we're going to take a closer
[19:06] look at mental illness in children. A
[19:08] study which is about to be published by
[19:09] the University of California at Los
[19:11] Angeles has found that teenage girls and
[19:14] young women are at very high risk of
[19:17] depression. During a 5-year period,
[19:19] almost half the girls in the study
[19:20] suffered some clinical depression and
[19:23] nearly half of them had a relapse. One
[19:26] of the major contributors to depression
[19:28] is anxiety. Anxiety is basically fear.
[19:31] Fear of danger. Fear of problems. Fear
[19:34] that can overwhelm a person of any age,
[19:36] but can be particularly damaging in
[19:39] children. First, ABC's John McKenzie.
[19:43] Being anxious is a normal part of
[19:45] childhood. Some children worry about
[19:47] leaving their parents or whether their
[19:49] classmates will like them. Some worry
[19:51] about embarrassing themselves in front
[19:53] of others.
[19:55] Most overcome these anxieties. But for
[19:57] an estimated 3 million American
[19:59] children, the worries grow more intense,
[20:02] becoming paralyzing fears.
[20:05] >> They interfere with the child's life or
[20:07] the tasks that are supposed to be a part
[20:09] and parcel of say an 8-year-old's daily
[20:11] experience. If the child can't go to
[20:13] school, if he can't go outside to play
[20:15] with friends.
[20:16] >> Anxiety disorders are considered the
[20:18] most common form of psychiatric illness
[20:20] in children under 12. But only recently
[20:22] have they begun to receive much
[20:24] attention as researchers discover how
[20:26] they can lead to other mental health
[20:28] problems. Studies show that children
[20:30] with anxiety disorders are two to four
[20:33] times more likely to develop depression
[20:35] later in life. Another more immediate
[20:38] risk, drug abuse. They start using
[20:40] marijuana, cocaine, alcohol. And in
[20:42] fact, an untreated anxiety disorder is
[20:45] the leading risk factor for teenage
[20:48] substance abuse. No one knows exactly
[20:50] what causes anxiety disorders. Why some
[20:53] children can overcome their fears and
[20:55] others cannot. One reason may be
[20:57] genetic. Children as young as 2 or 3
[21:00] months old can be identified. They can
[21:01] be shy, tentative, lacking in courage.
[21:04] Uh that predisposition leads to later
[21:06] anxiety disorders and also it tends to
[21:09] run in families. While medications,
[21:11] specifically anti-depressants, can help
[21:13] some children with anxiety disorders,
[21:16] studies show that learning new coping
[21:17] skills can produce significant
[21:19] improvement in up to 70% of these
[21:21] children. For example, relaxation
[21:24] techniques and social rehearsing can
[21:26] help prepare a severely anxious child to
[21:28] attend a party.
[21:29] >> You want to hold her hand while you do
[21:31] it?
[21:31] >> Rehearse with the child in a very nice
[21:33] way to say, "What do you think you're
[21:35] going to say when we first walk in?
[21:36] What's it going to look like? What's it
[21:38] going to feel like? How are you going to
[21:39] relax? And so you give them steps to
[21:42] make it easier.
[21:43] >> Making it easier to overcome the fears
[21:46] and experience the fun of being a child.
[21:50] John McKenzie, ABC News, New York. And
[21:54] then there's the anxiety of being the
[21:56] parent of an anxious child. As ABC's
[21:58] Deborah Amos reports now, it's virtually
[22:00] essential that parents persevere until
[22:03] they get good medical advice.
[22:07] >> For 9-year-old Lindseay Marriott, the
[22:09] world is a very scary place. She was
[22:12] diagnosed with an extreme anxiety
[22:15] disorder, which you can see in her
[22:17] constant agitation.
[22:19] >> I will I'm not going to be very far.
[22:21] >> A disease the whole family has shared
[22:23] with her. It's been really hard
[22:26] emotionally, financially, you know, just
[22:30] it's just just
[22:31] >> Lindsay seemed healthy when she was
[22:33] born, but at the age of two, her parents
[22:36] saw something quite different.
[22:37] >> She quit sleeping completely. Just
[22:40] completely quit taking naps, quit
[22:42] sleeping at night. I mean, she would
[22:43] stay up for days.
[22:45] >> The doctor said she would eventually
[22:46] outgrow it. The Marriotts did not get a
[22:49] medical diagnosis until 2 years later. I
[22:52] think it helped to know that there was a
[22:54] name. And when there's a name to
[22:56] something, you feel like there's a
[22:57] treatment.
[22:58] >> The treatment is a cocktail of
[23:00] anti-depressants that has made some
[23:02] difference, but the expense has nearly
[23:04] wiped out the family savings. Some of
[23:07] the drugs cost $500 a bottle. Insurance
[23:11] does not cover the full price. Lindsay
[23:13] has already reached the limit for
[23:15] insured hospital care. There's no
[23:17] coverage for behavioral therapies or
[23:19] temporary care to give the family a
[23:22] break.
[23:23] >> Across the country, insurance companies
[23:25] often provide less coverage for mental
[23:28] disorders than physical ones.
[23:30] >> It's not something you can see. And
[23:32] because you can't see it, I don't think
[23:34] there's the same level of um
[23:36] understanding or or compassion or um or
[23:40] help available.
[23:41] >> There you go.
[23:41] >> The Marriott accept Lindsay's illness as
[23:44] part of their life. Still, it's hard.
[23:47] >> They don't get a break. I mean, they
[23:49] don't ever get away from it. They They
[23:51] live with this chaos all the time.
[23:54] >> Lindsay lives in a world of her own. The
[23:57] heartbreak is for her family. Deborah
[24:00] Amos, ABC News.
[24:02] >> Our closer look for today. When we come
[24:04] back, the Clapton guitars, a world
[24:08] record.

[25:45] >> Tonight, three young boys a bike ride on
[25:48] a fall night when one of them suddenly
[25:51] vanished.
[25:52] >> I just want Jacob to know that we love
[25:54] him. We never never ever gave up.
[25:58] vanished tonight.
[26:01] >> Finally from us this evening, nostalgia
[26:04] for sale and for a good cause. The great
[26:06] rock and blues musician Eric Clapton has
[26:09] sold a 100red guitars to fight alcohol
[26:11] and illegal drugs.
[26:14] For so many people, this is really a
[26:16] blast from the past.
[26:25] For Clapton, this is parting with a part
[26:28] of himself. The star of the show is a
[26:30] 1956 Fender Stratocaster called Brownie.
[26:35] Clapton played it on the original
[26:36] recording of Leila.
[26:43] >> Richard Chapman has cataloged the
[26:45] collection
[26:45] >> and a piece of real magic, piece of real
[26:48] music history.
[26:49] >> 30 years of Clapton history. Cool. You
[26:52] can see the wear of the back from the
[26:53] belt buckle. All the finish is worn off.
[26:56] The back plate is missing.
[27:00] You can see where this cigarette under
[27:02] the bottom string and the cigarette
[27:05] burnt down and eventually it scorched
[27:08] the headstock of the guitar. This guitar
[27:11] is a Martin Triple O28 and it's a
[27:14] wonderful instrument.
[27:18] There was tremendous interest in the
[27:20] sale. Clapton's life and his music have
[27:23] fascinated so many people for so long.
[27:32] Clapton had hoped to raise a million
[27:34] dollars to fight drug and alcohol abuse
[27:35] in the Caribbean where he lives. The
[27:37] auction raised more than $5 million. And
[27:40] Brownie got a lot of respect. It went
[27:42] for $450,000.
[27:46] That is our report on World News Tonight
[27:49] on Night Line this evening. Can NATO
[27:51] trust the Russians in Kosovo? I'm Peter
[27:54] Jennings. Have a good evening. I hope

[28:39] want a baby so badly if he didn't mean
[28:41] for me to fight for one. Dear Dra Hall

[28:57] twist in the murder of a Cross Plains
[28:59] police officer.
[29:01] >> Good evening, everyone. We'll have more
[29:02] on that in just a moment, but first,
[29:04] we've got some weather issues to deal
[29:05] with tonight.
[29:06] >> Davis Nolan joins us with a look at
[29:08] Storm Tracker 2000. Davis,
[29:10] >> Bob, no watches in effect right now. No
[29:12] warnings in effect, but some fairly
[29:13] decent thunderstorms out there
[29:14] nonetheless. And I want to put Storm
[29:15] Tracker 2000 into motion for you,
[29:17] especially right around here in the
[29:18] western part of Nashville. A
[29:19] thunderstorm pushing in with a little
[29:20] lightning and thunder, especially right
[29:22] around the Ashlin City area as we zoom
[29:24] right in on that. You can see that
[29:25] around Ashlin City here. Some lightning
[29:27] flashing here to the south of town right
[29:29] now. Again, these storms not severe, but
[29:31] you may want to keep this in mind if you
[29:32] do have some outdoor plans out there.
[29:34] Also, some pretty strong storms here in
[29:36] the southeastern part of Middle
[29:37] Tennessee. We're going to track those
[29:38] for you because they're moving southeast
[29:40] at around 30 mph. And if we do this
[29:42] pretty strong line is from around
[29:44] Lewisburg over to Manchester and track
[29:46] that on towards the southeast at 30 mph.
[29:49] Now, if it holds the speed and direction
[29:50] together, here are the
