CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Happening now in the NEWSROOM, fleeting and thrown into the air in the Boston bombings, Kevin White now struggling with the fact he and his family are victims of a terror attack.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I do understand it is not going to bring back my father's leg. It's not going to erase the last two and a half weeks.</s>COSTELLO: Plus you'll hear from Amanda Knox. She says you don't know her story. Attack with chemicals by her husband, a woman gets a face transplant. You will see her for the first time today. And just two months after ending his work from home policy, Yahoo! offers 500 bucks to employees who give birth. Yahoo! You're live in the CNN NEWSROOM. Good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. I'm Carol Costello. We begin with new developments in the bombings at the Boston marathon. The widow of Tamerlan Tsarnaev says she's been told that the coroner will soon release her husband's body, but she does not want it. Katherine Russell wants her in-laws to claim his body. Her lawyer says she has spent many hours this week cooperating with investigators. Also this morning, we're following this development. Investigators have discovered at least one fingerprint among the bomb fragments. A law enforcement official tells CNN no match has been made, not yet. The "Boston Herald" has now attached numbers to our earlier reports that the Tsarnaev family lived on the generosity of the U.S. welfare programs. The paper says the family raked in more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance. That doesn't even include the more than $5,500 in aid for Tamerlan for his college education. In the meantime, our Pamela Brown spoke to the man who was apparently carjacked by Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Pam, what did he tell you?</s>PAMELA BROWN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Carol, that's right. I spoke to Danny, the carjacking victim for more than an hour in a conversation off camera. He is still very shaken up by the harrowing experience he had nearly two weeks ago. He tells me he was driving around on a Thursday night, relaxing after a long day at work. He pulls over to send a text message. All of a sudden Tamerlan Tsarnaev comes over, taps on the passenger side window, Danny rolled down the window to hear what he had to say. Danny says Tamerlan reached in, unlocked the car, got in the car, held a gun to his head and said drive while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was following behind them. That's when the 90-minute nightmare began for Danny. He tells us he says that Tamerlan was very talkative. Kept asking him questions, was very intrigued by his Chinese heritage. Also at point, Danny's roommate called him and Tamerlan told him to speak to his roommate in English while he had a gun to his head. He told Danny that if he didn't cooperate, he would kill him. Eventually they went to a gas station to fill up and Danny says that may have saved his life. That's when he made his great escape. Here is what he told CBS' John Miller. Let's take a listen.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He took out his gun, point it to me, said I'm serious. Don't be stupid. He asked me a question like do you know the Boston explosion on Monday? I said yes. I did that. I just killed a policeman in Cambridge. I need to figure out a way to save myself. I was counting one, two, three, four, I just do it. I did it. Tamerlan tried to grab me. I was running as fast as I can and never looked back.</s>BROWN: Can you imagine how frightening that was. Danny tells me that during the course of that 90 minutes, he heard the brothers talk about Manhattan. As it turns out, according to authorities, the brothers had allegedly made spontaneous plans to go to New York and set off more explosives in Times Square. So had Danny not escaped and sparked a widespread manhunt, there could have been more lives lost. I asked Danny if he feels like a hero. He said no, he was just trying to save his life.</s>COSTELLO: Did you ask Danny about the relationship between the two brothers?</s>BROWN: Yes, Carol. That was one of the most interesting parts to me when I was talking to him. There's a clear contrast between the brothers. Danny says that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was the clear leader and that Dzhokhar was the follower. He said from the very beginning Tamerlan was the ring leader, calling all the shots, barking orders to Dzhokhar. He said that Dzhokhar was at Tamerlan's beck and call, doing whatever he asked. For example, Tamerlan wanted him to go, use Danny's credit card at the ATM machine and Dzhokhar quickly went to go do that. So there were several examples to the course of that 90 minutes exemplifying the relationship between the two of them. You know, but it's is important to remember even though Tamerlan was the ring leader, according to Danny, and Dzhokhar was the quiet one sitting in the backseat, not saying much, Dzhokhar still had an input in all of this and still had a choice so it's important to remember that. I did speak to a criminology professor, Carol. He says that the fact the brothers allegedly, you know, set off the explosives at the Boston marathon that that brought them closer together and solidified their bond.</s>COSTELLO: Pamela Brown reporting live from Boston today. Danny, a victim of terror in the United States as are, of course, hundreds of others. I sat down with one of them, Kevin White. He and his parents were victims of the bombings in the Boston and they are recovering slowly. White still has trouble walking. His father lost his leg. His mother still has trouble with her arm and hand. I asked Kevin about the terrorists and if he still looks over his shoulder.</s>COSTELLO: I know you haven't had much time to watch the news and to follow the investigation, but what have you picked up? What was goes through your mind?</s>KEVIN WHITE, BOSTON BOMBING SURVIVOR: I saw the whole incident in Watertown and that was just unbelievable. We are actually going into -- my mom was getting discharged that day, but we couldn't get in because of the lockdown. You know, I think in a lot of ways it's sad. It's sad that so many people were hurt for reasons that we may never really know and their misdirected anger -- I think what's great is the way that law enforcement took charge of the investigation and made sure that the two suspects weren't going to hurt anyone anymore, and they're not. But, you know, I haven't watched a ton of it, the TV. You know, I see there's more stuff about their family and there's more speculation on things. You know, my mom said something to the effect, she was just wondering how could someone be filled with so much hate that they would want to hurt innocent people and children, but I'm just glad that that won't happen again with those two. I think the cities and the states, especially the law enforcement, the state troopers and the FBI did a great job.</s>COSTELLO: Do you fear there are more people out there who were connected to this bombing?</s>WHITE: You know, I don't really fear it. Maybe there are, but I think, you know, that's kind of out of my control at this point. I think law enforcement is doing a great job seeing if there are other people connected. But, you know, there's not much I can really do about that. I can't really live my life in fear going forward.</s>COSTELLO: Are there times do you sit and wonder for whatever reason these people did this, why would they do this? Was it radicalization? Do those things go through your mind?</s>WHITE: I don't think I have gotten to that point yet, just because I don't know really know enough about what their thought process was. I think with the youngest brother more information will come out over time as he communicates more. That really hasn't crossed my mind. I've been trying not to think about that because it's not going to change what happened. I think if they can figure out why they chose to do this, maybe they can help -- people can influence other people who might be going down that same path not to go down that path. So I guess that would be the best way I can answer it.</s>COSTELO: Even if you knew the reason why, I don't think my of us would understand.</s>WHITE: Even if I did understand it, it's not going to bring back my father's leg and it's not going to erase the last two weeks. My family's priorities are getting better. That's the most important thing. Making sure that things are progressing a week from now, a month from now, six months, a year and that stuff is taken care of with my father and with expenses. And focus in kind of what our priorities are right now.</s>COSTELLO: I also asked Kevin, you know, -- he's been the victim of a terror attack and how that felt. And his answer was you see terror attacks on television all the time and they don't seem quite real to you, but know they seem very real because he's experienced it. As I told you before, Kevin's dad has lost his leg. Kevin still has trouble walking because he had so many shrapnel removed from his leg. His mom also continues to recover. As you might expect, their medical bills are piling up. If you would like to help Kevin White and his parents, go to this web site. It's called youcaring.com. There you'll find information on the White family and their injuries, and how you could help them reach their goal of $100,000 to pay for medical expenses because those medical expenses aren't going to end tomorrow. They're going to be paying medical expenses for years to come. It's 10 minutes past the hour, time to check other top stories. Crews in New York City are about to remove part of a wing from one of the planes in the 9/11 terror attack. That part was found last week near the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan. Medical examiners are also wrapping up their search in the area for possible human remains. Not known yet if anything was found in that search. Colorado is getting a blast of spring snow today. Cities including Bolder and Golden could see as much as eight inches of snow by tonight. Denver could even break a record for the coldest ever first day of May. A California woman accused of poisoning two bottles of orange juice at a San Jose Starbucks is now facing attempted murder charges. Police say the woman placed bottles on a display shelf as if they were for sale. A customer spotted her odd behavior, told store workers, who then called 911. The bottles were tainted with a lethal dose of rubbing alcohol. Yahoo! announces new benefits for new parents. Now new moms will get 16 weeks of paid leave and new dads will get eight. Also Yahoo! is offering their employees $500 to spend on items like house cleaning and groceries plus Yahoo! themed baby gifts. The new policies come two months after Yahoo! banned employees from working at home. Alison Kosik is at the New York Stock Exchange. I think the $500 part got me because seriously 500 bucks to buy groceries and baby clothes and Yahoo! themed gifts.</s>ALISON KOSIK, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: It's all about perks, isn't it? Especially with those tech companies and yes, it sounds really generous.</s>COSTELLO: But 500 bucks? No.</s>KOSIK: I mean, come on. Well, I don't want to say, but the company -- think about other companies people work at. Do they just give you 500 bucks for groceries when you have a kid? No. However, other tech companies were already there, Carol. You know, this new Yahoo! benefit to parents plus these perks that we're talking about actually winds up putting Yahoo! in line with other companies because the tech industry is known for being very generous with benefits. And Yahoo! is actually behind the eight ball. Moms at Google get 18 to 22 weeks after having a baby. Dads there get 7 weeks. Over at Facebook just like Yahoo! now, moms get 16 weeks, but it's super generous for dads who get 16 weeks there as well. Parents at Facebook also get $4,000 in baby cash. Of course, that's a huge help for that very expensive addition. As for investors where they think they are happy with what Melissa Myer has -- Marissa Myer has done with Yahoo! at this point. You look at Yahoo! shares. They're up more than 50 percent since she took over in July -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: Well, that's good news. It makes you wonder though. Are these new policies an attempt by Yahoo! CEO to sort of dig herself out of a hole when she dug herself by abolishing the work at home option?</s>KOSIK: It makes you wonder, doesn't it? But here's what Myer actually said. She said the extent of leave is just part of a host of new benefits to support the happiness and well being of Yahoo!'s and their family. She's also given out those new smartphones to workers. She's given free food and upgraded computers. Yes, Myer took a lot of flak in February when she got rid of that work from home option for employees. Even with these new maternity benefits, Carol, there are critics as I heard you. You're like a critic. They're great for people who have a baby, but what about everybody else who is not having a baby who wants the flexibility for other reasons? To them I say, stop complaining. You have a job. It's a good job probably. You're getting paid. You're getting benefits. There's a new changing of the guard and when there's a changing of the guard, there's going to be change, right, Carol?</s>COSTELLO: Yes, we know that.</s>KOSIK: And if you don't like it, find a new job.</s>COSTELLO: You are tough. Alison Kosik, thanks so much. Coming up next in the NEWSROOM, the family of that MIT officer killed by the Boston bombers, allegedly killed by the Boston bombers says Sean Collier was meant to be a police officer. CNN sits down with his family next.
