[Nguyen:] Checking stories making news across America today. A mother charged with murdering her three sons by dropping them into San Francisco, into the bay there is under suicide watch at a hospital jail ward. Lashaun Harris has pleaded not guilty. A family member says she has schizophrenia and had stopped taking her medication. The wife of an Ohio politician says she takes full responsibility for her arrest on charges of drunken driving. Frankie Coleman's husband is the mayor of Columbus and he's running for governor. Police say Mrs. Coleman say she drove her car into a pickup and failed a sobriety test. Well, lawyers are slashing over whether certain statements made by music producer Phil Spector can be used at his murder trial. Prosecutors file court papers yesterday. They said they plan to use a statement in which Spector allegedly told police he accidentally shot actress Lana Clarkson. Defense lawyers say that statement should be thrown out because Spector was withdrawing from prescription drugs when police first interviewed him.
[Harris:] Forensic teams are working to identify the body of a man that was hidden for decades in a California glacier. He was apparently a military airman whose plane went down during World War II. CNN's Thelma Gutierrez has the story.
[Thelma Gutierrez, Cnn Correspondent:] The Sierra Nevada mountain range, 400 miles long. Could it be that this man recently discovered at the foot of a glacier preserved in ice and frozen in time was on an ill-fated military flight during World War II?
[Unidentified Male:] Disappeared while on a routine training flight.
[Gutierrez:] Some local historians think so.
[Ray Silvia, Librarian:] Tuesday morning I received a call from the government. They said they found an airman.
[Gutierrez:] Ray Silvia, a Fresno librarian says the military asked him to research plane crashes in the Sierra Nevada mountain range during that era.
[Silvia:] Kind of obscure book but it's one of a kind on aircraft wreck.
[Gutierrez:] Ray searched of the name of the glacier where the soldier was found. There it was a crash back on November 18, 1942 that killed everyone on board.
[Silvia:] It was uncertain, really, whether everyone was found.
[Gutierrez:] Then Ray turned to local newspaper reports from 1942. More details matched the discovery in the ice.
[Alex Picabet, National Park Service:] People who reported finding this had found a parachute and cut a piece off of that parachute. The parachute itself said "U.S. Army."
[Gutierrez:] Alex Picabet says it was a highly trained team of national park rangers who chipped into the ice for hours so that this soldier could finally come home.
[Picabet:] He could have all kinds of things still with him in the pocket. He could have photos or letters. We don't know. So much still to be revealed as he comes out of the ice that's kept him company for the last 60 plus years.
[Gutierrez:] The body encased in 400 pounds of granite and ice was flown to the Fresno Coroner's Office where it was thawed.
[Loralee Cervantes, Fresno County Coroner:] We have been using cold water to melt the ice at a quicker rate.
[Gutierrez:] The coroner x-rayed the body in ice but so far no
[Id. Cervantes:] Even if we found something that had his name on it or had an I.D., we would go further than that to try to provide positive
[I.d. Gutierrez:] From Fresno the body will be flown to the joint POW- MIA counting command in Hawaii where forensic studies will help determine who the man still wearing the military green sweater was.
[Cervantes:] Something like this is really exciting, a chance to return anyone much less someone who has been missing for 60 plus years, the chance to return them to their family is pretty exciting for a coroner to be able to take part in that.
[Gutierrez:] Exciting for everyone, from the park rangers who brought him out to local librarians who dug up the details. It's a chance to participate in history. Thelma Gutierrez, CNN, Fresno, California.
