[Cooper:] Well we turn now to a case of a missing girl that is making a lot of headlines out West. 16-year-old Michelle Smith of Beaverton, Oregon that is her there known as Mimi, has been missing since September 26th. Police believe she left willingly and they think she's with a man more than twice her age, her softball coach Andrew Garver, you see him there. He's been charged with kidnapping. We're joined now in Portland, Oregon by Mimi's parents David and Sherry Smith. Appreciate both of you joining us; I know it's got to be really tough for you to speak out on this tonight. Sherry if you could speak to Mimi, if she could hear you, what would you tell her now?
[Sherry Smith, Mimi's Mother:] That I love her and that I miss her and that she hasn't done anything wrong and please call 911, or contact the local authorities wherever she is at, so that she can come home.
[Cooper:] And, David, do you think it is as easy as that? Do you think she could come home if she wanted to? What do you think is going on with her and this man Garver?
[David Smith, Mimi's Father:] I believe she's been kidnapped and if she turned to him right now and asked to go home he wouldn't let her.
[Cooper:] Do you have a message for this Garver man tonight?
[David Smith:] Yes, I want to tell Mr. Garver to please do the right thing and turn himself in and let my daughter go.
[Cooper:] Sherry, I understand Mimi turned 16 just the other day while she's been gone. That must have been just a terrible day. Did you did you mark it in any way?
[Sherry Smith:] Yes, I found myself doing all the things I normally do in preparation for our children's birthdays. And it was hard. It was hard. I tried to hold it together the best that I can.
[Cooper:] I understand that. David, I guess investigators believe Mimi went willingly at least early on. Do you believe that?
[David Smith:] No, Mimi was kidnapped. Mimi was kidnapped by her softball coach who abused his trust and he kidnapped my daughter.
[Cooper:] How often are you in contact with the police? I mean do they seem to have any promising leads Sherry?
[Sherry Smith:] Yes, every single day. Beaverton Police has done an absolutely outstanding job in the search for my daughter.
[David Smith:] No leads.
[Cooper:] No leads?
[David Smith:] No leads.
[Sherry Smith:] I do hear from Beaverton police every day, just so you know.
[Cooper:] Well our thoughts and prayers are with you; we'll show that picture again of Mimi just to try to get it out there just as much as possible. Sherry and David appreciate you joining us tonight. We will be following this story closely for the next as long as it takes.
[Sherry Smith:] I appreciate your time, thank you everyone.
[Cooper:] All right. Well, moving on a resort hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the site of a police probe today after two young women were found dead in California's Big Sur region. Rusty Dornin reports.
[Rusty Dornin, Cnn:] Abigail Tapia and Jacqueline Toves were discovered last week in this $200 a night cottage lying side by side, garbage bags taped around their heads. Manager Leonard Flores found the bodies.
[Leonard Flores:] ... found the garbage bags and their hands tied to the back you know taped to, you know, taped to. And like a two days already.
[Dornin:] A murder suicide or ritualistic killing? Flores told reporters that a Halloween mask similar to this one covered one woman's face. Circumstances strange enough that visitor Karen Phillips is wary.
[Karen Phillips, Tourist:] The way that it happened and I'm traveling with a girlfriend of mine and just the thought of two women it's just just a little creepy.
[Dornin:] Creepy enough that residents here hope the mystery is cleared up soon. Monterey County investigators say letters were also found.
[Cmdr. Fred Garcia, Monterey County Sheriff Dept:] There was a large envelope, which was found in there, was addressed to one of the parents of one of the subjects in the room and there were several letters and other personal contents within that.
[Dornin:] Police say they are investigating it as a murder suicide. Autopsy results just released show no evidence of trauma. But investigators won't make a final ruling for several weeks until toxicology results are in. Rusty Dornin, CNN, San Francisco.
[Cooper:] Coming up next on 360 the current looks at the effects smoking pot has on well the odds you'll ever have a little Dead Head of your own someday. And, in the "nth degree" pat Robertson endorses using a nuclear device on the State Department. Yes, the American State Department. We'll take that to the nth degree. Stay with us.
