Charles Manson Getting Married?; Women Found Held Captive in London Home
WHITFIELD: Police in south London are doing everything they can to uncover more evidence in a horrifying case of possibly people being held against their will. They're going house to house in the neighborhood where police say three women were held captive for more than 30 years. Atika Shubert joins us live now from London. So, Atika, what are investigators hoping to find?</s>ATIKA SHUBERT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Fredricka, this is the area they have been going house to house. You can see some of the policemen there right behind me. It's where police believe the three women were held captive for years. But why and how is what they're still trying to understand. We do have some more details from police on the two suspects in particular. A 67-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman, one from Tanzania, the other from India. And they apparently met two -- the two older victims in this case in the 1960s, and apparently had a shared political ideology. They formed some sort of collective, but how it went from being a collective to having these women suddenly being under the complete control allegedly of this couple is what police are trying to understand. They have also told the press that they now have the birth certificate of the youngest victim, a 30-year-old woman. But that's the only record they have of her. And they believe that she was effectively born into servitude -- Fredricka.</s>WHITFIELD: And so, Atika, do they know the 30-year-old who was born into servitude? Was it birthed by any of the women who were in the house there or how did she get there?</s>SHUBERT: They're not saying yet. That is something that they're looking at, whether it's possible that the 57-year-old Irish woman, for example, could be the mother, could the men who -- the suspect in the couple, could be the father? We don't know yet. Police aren't giving us the details. They're saying they're trying to untangle the relationship here, but also trying to figure out why there was so much psychological control over the three women that absolutely terrorized by the -- by the suspects and deeply traumatized.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. A very confusing case. Atika Shubert, thank you so much. Let us know when you have new developments on it. All right. North Korea meantime has confirmed to Swedish diplomats that it is detaining an American citizen. The family of 85-year-old Korean War veteran Merrill Newman says the country has been holding him since October 26th. His wife is pleading for his release, saying he only had enough heart medicine for the 10-day tour that he was on. North Korea has not said why they're holding Newman. Is Charles Manson really getting married? A 25-year-old woman named Star says she loves the 79-year-old convicted murderer. The former cult leader is serving a life sentence for masterminding a 1969 killing spree in California. Here is Ted Rowlands.</s>TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Fred, it sounds crazy, a 25-year-old marrying any 79-year-old, let alone Charles Manson, but that looks like is going to happen -- it is going to happen. This young lady, her name is Star, Charles Manson gave her that name when she came out to California to be close to him. She's from the Midwest, left her home, and went to live in Corcoran, California, where the Corcoran State Prison is, where Manson is housed. She, for the first year, worked at McDonald's, now she sells artwork. She's known him now for eight years in total and has lived out there in excess of five years, and I had the opportunity to meet her when she was 21 years old a few years ago, about four years ago. And the obvious first question I had for her, why Charles Manson.</s>STAR, FRIEND OF CHARLES MANSON: Charlie is all about ATWA, which is air, trees, water, animals. And he's been talking about it for over 40 years. And none of the TV shows have ever picked that up, I don't know why.</s>ROWLANDS: Star says she was first attracted to Charles Manson because of his views on the environment, and then and only after some time passed that she realize who he was in totality and says it doesn't bother her, she's met him obviously many times and bottom line is she loves him. The state of California will facilitate a marriage for any prisoner who wants to get married. The person marrying the prisoner has to pay all of the costs. And in Charles Manson's case, there will be no conjugal visits between Charles Manson and Star, if they indeed do get married -- Fred.</s>WHITFIELD: All right, Ted Rowlands, thank you so much for that. All right. One word cancelled the season for a high school football team and brings the FBI to a small town, that's coming up next. But first, the Philippines is the location for the current season of CBS's "Survivor." "Survivor" host Jeff Probst has shot four seasons in the Philippines and he talks about how typhoon Haiyan is truly impacting his world.</s>JEFF PROBST, HOST, "SURVIVOR": I've spent over the last two years, eight months in the Philippines. And while we didn't shoot in that exact area, there is such a sense of community in that country because it's an island -- it's an island community. They don't have much to begin with. It was not uncommon when we would go through the villages to see people in a tin shack with wood on the side and maybe a fire burning inside and a clothesline with a few shirts on it. That was their daily life. And you wouldn't know anything was not OK because everybody have this joy in their hearts. But when you take that very little bit they have away, and you combine it with all of this disaster, now you have just a major catastrophe. And rebuilding that is going to be enormous. "Survivor" has always been connected to the communities we go to. So we even have our own internal stuff that we're doing with the doctors we've worked with there, who are on -- you know, on the ground and we're helping support them. You can't help but feel simultaneously helpless and on the other hand grateful that you're safe because this could hit us. It could hit anybody.</s>WHITFIELD: If you would like to help, log on to CNN.com/impact.
