(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:00:16] POPPY HARLOW, CNN HOST: Top of the hour. I'm Poppy Harlow joining you this afternoon. And we begin with that manhunt in upstate New York. Alone and on the run, escaped killer David Sweat is still at large a day after officers killed Richard Matt. A key concern right now that Sweat could be even more dangerous and desperate now that he is on the run.

Some 1,100 law enforcement officers are hopeful that they have Sweat contained within a perimeter in the Adirondacks in upstate New York. But they admit they do not have eyes on him. And blood hounds have picked up his scent -- have not picked up his scent. As for Matt, he too may have eluded police had it not been for critical mistakes, including a sudden urge to cough just as officers moved in, revealing his location.

Let's begin with our Jean Casarez. She is on the ground live in Malone, New York.

Jean, you were there last night, the breaking news, as we just learned late in the day that the officers had indeed shot and killed Richard Matt. I wonder what the police presence is like where you are right now.

JEAN CASAREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's intense. It is very intense. It's an urgent manhunt, because they know that they got Richard Matt, but now they are after David Sweat. And we have confirmed that there have no signs, they have not visually seen David Sweat. And we also understand that the tracking dogs -- and I just say a k9 unit leave a little bit ago. Doesn't mean there aren't more back there, but they did not hit on a human scent at all today.

But nonetheless, as you said, 1,100 law enforcement officers are involved in this search. From the FBI to the U.S. marshal to the U.S. custom and border patrol and even to (INAUDIBLE) tribal police are helping in the effort.

Poppy, behind my shoulder right here, you see one of the check points. But this is the area that people go into if they live in here. People live in homes in this area, right amongst the areas where they are searching. And if you do live in there, you can get in there, but there are a lot of questions. Maybe they want to search your trunk a little bit. But this is a concerted effort, because they know that they have to find this man who committed murder and he murdered a state trooper shooting him 22 times. So obviously, there is no fear of law enforcement when it comes to David Sweat.

HARLOW: Jean, we're now seeing these pictures. I want to pull them up also for our viewer as we discussed. These pictures from NBC News showing a cabin where the authorities believe that Matt and Sweat hid out at one point. What significant information can they collect? I would assume DNA evidence. A determination of whether these two men were definitely together. What are they telling you that they can get from this cabin?

CASAREZ: Well, I think the first thing that is very significant is that that cabin one week ago today, on a Saturday morning, 10:30 in the morning, that's when someone who occupied that cabin periodically, because we know it was a revolving door, different families used it, he went to check on it and he realized that it had been burglarized. And that's when law enforcement then told CNN that, in fact, there were boots that were found there. That they believed belong to Richard Matt along with a press conference told us a bloody sock. And he also visually saw one person leaving that cabin. And we also know that he believed that his shotgun was missing.

Well, yesterday -- and it was right here in this area, just about this time afternoon, is when a man with a camper was driving along. He heard shots. He thought that he had a blown out tire. He kept driving. Eight miles up the road, he got out. He realized his vehicle had been shot. A New York state police law enforcement sources confirmed with us today that that shot did come from the man himself that police murdered, David Matt.

So we do know that, and we do know that they haven't seen sightings of David Sweat. So that's where we're at now. And I've got to tell you, Poppy, it's really silent here. We have not seen any helicopters. We're not seeing a lot of vehicles go in. I saw two ATVs, but that eerie silence doesn't mean that they're moving as quickly as they can, as methodically as they can and as intelligently as they can to get this convicted murder.

HARLOW: Right. Jean Casarez, thank you for the reporting. You'll be on with us all evening. I appreciate it very much.

I want to discuss more of this with former FBI special agent Rick Schwein. He led the search for the Olympic park bomber Eric Rudolph. Also with me former FBI assistant director Tom Fuentes. He's in Washington. And here in New York with me, criminologist Casey Jordan.

Guy, thank you very much for being here.

Tom, let me begin with you. Police are still operating under this assumption that the two men were together pretty much until the point yesterday when Richard Matt was shot and killed. But they say they don't have eyes on Sweat. They don't have a scent trail. Do you think it's most likely that these two men were together up until yesterday?

[15:05:11] TOM FUENTES, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: Poppy, I think they probably were together, more or less in a survival mode, helping each other as they broke into cabins. Maybe taking turns sleeping so the other could keep a lookout for oncoming police. But I'm a little confused by some of this reporting from the police. Yesterday evening, they were in hot pursuit, they said. They were right on top of the subject, they said. And now today nothing, and not even a scent.

HARLOW: Right.

FUENTES: So, you know, that's a misuse of terminology. My definition in 40-some years in law enforcement, hot pursuit means you almost have visual with the exception that the dogs are so excited you can't restrain them, they're in hot pursuit. But to say now no scent, no sign, nothing to indicate where this guy is, something is wrong.

HARLOW: So, Casey, let's get into the mind. You're a criminologist, so you focus on the mind of these criminals. You know, it's one thing when you have a partner in crime and you're on the run together. Take us into his mindset, you believe now that he's alone and he's being hunted down by 1,100 officers.

CASEY JORDAN, CRIMINOLOGIST: Right. But keep in mind, we don't know that he knows that. It's not like we have a great big subject pool of people to interview that have escaped prison successfully. If you think about it, you have to put yourself in their shoes and try to ask, what does he know? Does he know that Richard Matt is dead? Was he in the vicinity? Was he only maybe a few hundred paces, a half a mile ahead of him? And the police were so focused on getting Matt that they missed him.

Now if they were in hot pursuit but now they're not, that makes me think they actually separated a while ago, maybe a few days ago. And if he's on his own in the woods heading for the Canadian border, and maybe that was their plan, to meet up in Canada. He's desperate. He's psychologically isolated now that he doesn't have his buddy Richard Matt with him. And he is probably like a scared little rabbit in a hole, wondering if Matt's been caught. And if he knows Matt is dead, then he's really desperate.

HARLOW: So Rick, let's talk more about what the police are doing likely right now. Because they believe that he could be armed with a stolen gun from one of those cabins in the area. This is a man on the run who shot a sheriff's deputy 22 times. How does that affect how police are looking for him?

RICK SCHWEIN, FORMER FBI SPECIAL AGENT, ALBANY NORTHERN DISTRICT: Well, they're going to be very deliberate and very cautious in their approach. I heard some great things from the major from the New York state police yesterday. When he was briefing the media. And he talked about an intelligence driven approach. He talked about trying to determine the direction of travel, pace of travel. He gave a great public warning about where police thought these two guys were headed. He talked about a picket line being formed with authorities on the Canadian border.

So I get the impression that they really know what they're doing. They certainly have enough in the way of resources. It's state and federal agencies. And now the fugitive is on his own. His partner has been taken off the board and he doesn't have anybody to lean on. Nobody to egg him on. They can't depend on each other.

HARLOW: Tom, with Richard Matt dead, what is at stake for the authorities in terms of trying to capture David Sweat alive? Or do they, you know, shoot to kill if they are threatened in any way? How important is it for them to get him alive?

FUENTES: I think the stakes are the same as it's always been in this case, whether there is two of them or one, and that is that they're dangerous killers. They pose an extreme threat to member of the public, to possibly do a home invasion or a carjacking. They pose an extreme threat to law enforcement that I think we could maybe say all right, the threat isn't what it used to be with two of them. But it's still a terrible threat on their part.

HARLOW: Absolutely, for everyone living in the area.

Thank you guys very much, Casey, Rick and Tom. Appreciate it.

We're going to take a quick break. And when we come bark an update from South Carolina where more victims of that tragic church massacre are laid to rest today.

Also, in Columbia, South Carolina, two people out waiting for lawmakers taking down that confederate flag from the state house grounds. That story next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:12:37] HARLOW: Three more victims of the church massacre in Charleston being laid to rest today. You're taking a look at some of the live pictures out of those memorials that are being held in Charleston. For a brief time, a skirmish of sorts also erupting this morning over the confederate battle flag flying near the South Carolina state house in Columbia.

CNN's Martin Savidge joins us now from Charleston.

Martin, let's talk first about who is being remembered today at these funerals and what it's like being there.

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Three extraordinary people. The nine extraordinary people who were murdered.

Cynthia Hurd, her funeral began at 11:00 this morning. We went in and was able to watch and listen to some of that. Cynthia Hurd is a librarian. But much more than that, she was a librarian who was very much committed to people they were said. The thing she loved to do most is help people. She also worked with the housing authority. And Governor Nikki Haley talked about her and said she not only taught us how to love, it was her family that taught us how to forgive. And the emotions were flowing freely inside of the church.

And right now, you've got a 26-year-old young man by the name of Tywanza Sanders, and then you've got an 87-year-old woman, Susie Jackson. The story on those two, she is the aunt of the young man. They were both inside the church, that terrible night. And he jumped up to try to protect his aunt. Unfortunately, both were killed in that very violent attack. And their funeral being held jointly. More people want to get in than the church can hold.

HARLOW: Wow. Just a sign of how the entirety has come together to honor these people, following the remarkable, remarkable ceremony that we saw yesterday for Reverend Pinckney.

Also, there was a lot of concern this morning over what happened on the state house grounds, just in terms of would this overshadow the funerals taking place today. It hasn't. But talk to us about what happened with the confederate flag there.

SAVIDGE: Right. Well, as you know, there's been a great deal of discussion about the confederate flag that flies at a memorial home state (INAUDIBLE) there. And the governor's already come out and said along with the bipartisan members of state legislature it needs to come down. But it takes an act of the legislature to bring it down.

Today, you had two protesters who got tired of waiting. And so, one of them climbed up there, unhooked the flag, and got down. The two people that took part were immediately arrested by the authorities, taken into custody. We've just been told that they've been granted bond, according to one of our affiliates, set at $3,000 each. And they're allowed to leave the state. Huge social media upwell supporting them. A lot of people saying hey, I'll cover their bond.

[15:15:25] HARLOW: Martin Savidge reporting for us live on this day where more of those victims are being laid to rest.

Marty, thank you very much.

Coming up next, President Obama on race relations in this country. Talking about the issue many say like he has never done before. More on that next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:19:26] HARLOW: It was a speech a lot of America says that they wanted to hear from President Obama, something many say they've been waiting for, for a long time, President Obama speaking in part about race relations in this country yesterday in his eulogy for Charleston Pastor Clementa Pinckney. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Removing the flag from this state's capitol would not be an act of political correctness. It would not be an insult to the valor of confederate soldiers. It would simply be an acknowledgement that the cause for which they fought, the cause of slavery, was wrong.

(END VIDEO CLIP) [15:20:06] HARLOW: That one of many times that the crowd there just erupted. It was not just about the confederate flag. He also talked about systemic oppression, poverty, inequality, the criminal justice system. At one point he broke out in song, singing "Amazing Grace."

Let's talk about all of it with Princeton professor of history Julian Zelizer.

Thank you for being here. You have written about, studied about so many presidents. Did we see a different President Obama this week?

PROF. JULIAN ZELIZER, PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: Yes, I think we've seen all week a president who is more explicitly talking about the problems of race, starting with a podcast he did with a comedian, where he was very direct about his feelings on racial inequality.

HARLOW: Using the "n" word.

ZELIZER: Yes, and using that to say it's not enough to just talk about those kinds of issues, but we have to talk about public policies that create racial problems. And ending with this amazing speech, spiritual and very powerful about the need to deal with racial injustice in the wake of this shooting.

HARLOW: He even said in that podcast, I am fearless now. And he broke out in song singing "Amazing Grace." some calling him reverend president. Is this something we typically see from presidents? It's almost like he's a freer person. That we see closer to the end of the second term?

ZELIZER: We do see it in different ways and different issues. But they don't have to run for re-election. So in some ways, they're freed from the concerns about what this will do to the Electoral College. Lyndon Johnson did this with Vietnam, where he became much more forceful in terms of trying to end this. And I think that's what we're seeing from this president as well.

HARLOW: What do you think of the presidents of the future can learn from this?

ZELIZER: Well, I think they're going to learn that even with his many accomplishments, President Obama ended frustrated and laid out a series of issues, an agenda from criminal justice to inequality, that the next president, Republican or Democrat, will have to confront if they're serious about dealing with the racial problems our country faces.

HARLOW: I want to read a quote from a recent op-ed you wrote on CNN.com. You wrote liberals shouldn't go too far in thinking the nation is all of a sudden trending to the left. Liberals were just dealt a huge blow on a trade deal that threatens American workers. The government has barely made progress on tackling the growing divide between the rich and the poor. And the horrible shootings in Charleston are a reminder of how far we still have to go in dealing with race.

What is the power that President Obama holds to address those as much as he can in the time he has left?

ZELIZER: Well, this time, you know, there's not a lot of policy he will get done. And Congress still won't move on a lot of these issues. But he can lay out an agenda. He can set the theme for the 2016 campaign. He can energize Democrats at the grass roots and the candidates to take up the issues that he couldn't finish. And I think that's the biggest power he has at this time.

HARLOW: Is this the week, from Obamacare to the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, to that podcast interview he gave, to the trade deal, to that eulogy. Is this the week that defines this president?

ZELIZER: Well, I think it's pretty important. Look, the court just legit mated his biggest social policy contribution and made a decision about same-sex marriage that I think is a sign that the country is moving in a certain direction on civil rights.

HARLOW: Julian, good to have you on, as always. Appreciate it. Thank you very much.

And when we come back, we return to that manhunt in upstate New York. How close are police to capturing this killer now that he is desperate, possibly armed, and on his own.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:26:45] HARLOW: Armed, dangerous, and desperate. That is what hundreds of law enforcement officers are facing as we speak, as they hunt down that lone remaining fugitive escapee in upstate New York. David Sweat is still out there in the heavily wooded area just south of the Canadian border. He is running by himself now after his partner in crime was gunned down by police.

Our Jean Casarez is in Malone, New York. That is where the shootout took place between the authorities and Richard Matt yesterday. Now the hunt is on, as I said, for David Sweat. What are police saying in terms of when they last saw any sort of evidence of Sweat's whereabouts?

CASAREZ: That is a very interesting question. You know, Poppy, I always say the devil's in the details. And if you look at the facts that we have now, that press conference yesterday by the governor of New York and also having the New York state police comment, they specifically said that the cabin that was broken into last Saturday, a week ago today, about 14 miles away from here, that property had been left by Matt.

And then in the cabin that was broken into late Wednesday night, they said there was evidence that Matt was there. And then they also said in that press conference that a grid search was done. And they believe they recovered property that had been with Matt. They never specifically said anything about David Sweat. But however, they also continuing to tell us even today that they do not believe the two of them split apart. And we did hear that there were tracks, footprints of people they found yesterday. Two tracks together. And so why do they believe they haven't split up? I don't think

they've definitively told that. But let me tell you, Poppy. They told us yesterday, they believe those two were intent on crossing over into Canada. That's what they said just about 24 hours ago, that that's what they believe they wanted to do. We are right here in the search area. We are 23 miles from the border of Canada. Very close here in upstate New York, Poppy.

HARLOW: They could get there in a day. It is astounding to see that they were so close to the prison where they escaped from, now 22 days ago.

Jean Casarez, thank you very much for the reporting. Bring us the latest as you have it. I know that hunt is still very much under way for these two convicts.

I want to talk about it with our panel. And the mindset also of this man who is on the run. Let's talk about it with CNN law enforcement analyst and former FBI assistant director Tom Fuentes, he is back with me, CNN contributor and criminologist Casey Jordan, and legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Joey Jackson.

Guys, thanks for being here.

Joey, let me begin with you. So they shot and killed Richard Matt. When it comes to David Sweat, if they are able to take him alive, what does that mean for Joyce Mitchell, the seamstress who allegedly helped them get out? Is this someone who would testify against her?

JOEY JACKSON, HLN LEGAL ANALYST: Well, I don't necessarily think so. And good afternoon, Poppy. I mean, look. The reality is this. The prosecutors are going to have to balance whether or not the current charges are justified enough or whether they want to upgrade them in some way. And in doing that, remember, not only as it relates to Joyce Mitchell, but as it relates to Mr. Palmer as well, who's also been charged, they're going to have to look at a few things.

Number one, there was the other inmate has been killed. So far, thank goodness, no other member of the public, you know, has been hurt. Number two, punishment and what's appropriate punishment in this case. Number three. Deterrents and what level of deterrence does this send to Joyce Mitchell and other people in a facility that would assist in anybody's escape. And then of course, they're going to have to look at the interest of having cooperation.

Remember, it's very important to have some incentive for a defendant to cooperate because you want not only Ms. Mitchell as well as Mr. Palmer, the two who are accused here, to continue to cooperate. But in future cases, you want prosecutors who rely upon and potentially get the cooperation of defendants. So there has to be some benefit to that.

And so, if he's captured alive or not captured at all, the issue becomes should they upgrade the charges, or should they not. And those are the things the prosecutors will have to balance, Poppy, in making that decision. [15:30:59] HARLOW: You know, Casey, if they are able to capture David

Sweat alive, this is someone who is already in prison for life. He has nothing to lose. So how does that affect his mindset?

JORDAN: Yes. I don't think they're going to capture him alive. You have to think of him - I mean, freaked out might be too soft of a word. This is a man that I would call in sociology an anomic bomb. He is just a tornado of hopelessness, desperation, unpredictable behavior. He is all in. Especially if he knows that his buddy is dead.

Now, being alone helps him strategically and physically, he's more likely to actually escape and get away with it to Canada now that he's on his own. But psychologically, he was being fed by his partnership with Richard Matt. So he is going to very undermined. He is going to make a lot of mistakes now because he's not thinking clearly, because he doesn't have anyone to bounce ideas off of. So that wicked attraction, that full ideas of with, you know, this chemical reaction between the two of them which gave them the strength to break out of prison in the first place is now interrupted and separated. So I think he's probably going to go down without a fight. I think he'll just allow himself to do suicide by cop.

HARLOW: You do.

Tom Fuentes, to you. What do you make of the fact, and Jean made a great fact in her reporting, pointing out that almost everything the authorities have been saying in these press conferences has been about Richard Matt. Richard Matt was sighted. Richard Matt had a gun. Richard Matt. And they're not saying anything really about David Sweat. We heard different reports last night that they thought they had eyes on him. They thought they have him contained. Now they don't have eyes on him. Is it the right call to work under the assumption that these two guys were working together until Richard Matt was killed?

FUENTES: At this point, Poppy, I wouldn't go by what the police are saying specifically, because they all along in this case have withheld a lot of information that we just didn't know what was going on. You know, you and I were on the air last Saturday all evening while they were dispatching hundreds of officers to the Pennsylvania border.

HARLOW: Right, 300 miles away.

FUENTES: Exactly. And they had this information at 10:30 in the morning of the subject fleeing that cabin, which would be a credible, and then later they get DNA, which makes it a confirmed. And, you know, we didn't hear about this. And then we hear later that they might be armed. And then find out that the very day last Saturday, the owner of that cabin found out that at least one of his prize shotguns was missing. Later another gun along with two or three hunting knives are also missing. And we didn't hear about that. And four or five days later, people are still saying well, we kind of assume they're armed. They might be armed. They already knew they had guns. So I think that we can't just put too much into what the police say publicly. They're withholding a lot. They have their reasons for withholding it. We just don't know everything.

HARLOW: Yes. We certainly wish them all the best, if this other convict is indeed armed, someone who convicted murder, those police are putting their lives on the line to try to hunt him down.

Casey Jordan, Joey Jackson, Tom Fuentes, thank you guys very much.

Coming up next, we're going to switch gears here. The man who founded Napster at 19 years old and the first president of Facebook a billionaire now by the age of 35 is taking on a completely new industry. He says he wants to hack philanthropy. His challenge, next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:37:44] HARLOW: He's been known as a rebel in Silicon Valley, but these days Napster cofounder and the former Facebook president Sean Parker is out to disrupt an age old industry, philanthropy. The 35- year-old billionaire penning an op-ed in today's "Wall Street Journal" about how hackers, that's what he calls them, can transform the world by betting big and getting political and controversial. I sat down with him this week at his home in Los Angeles.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

HARLOW: You co-founded Napster. You were the founding president of Facebook. You became a billionaire. And now you're giving $600 million away. Who is Sean Parker today?

SEAN PARKER, ENTREPRENEUR/PHILANTHROPIST: Probably the same person I was more or less when I was 19. Which is somebody who is very interested in trying to understand how the world works and feeling mostly like an outsider.

HARLOW: A self-described perennial outsider, Sean Parker doesn't want to see his name on any building.

PARKER: The incentives are set up in such a way that donors are rewarded for giving money, and to some extent, I think coddled because the currency in that world is recognition.

HARLOW: He wants to disrupt a model that hasn't really ever been disrupted.

PARKER: In any other field outside of philanthropy, if a company released a product and just continued to insist that it was working when it wasn't and didn't listen to feedback from customers and didn't change, they would probably fail.

HARLOW: We met parker at his Beverly Hills home. A symbol of the immense wealth he and his fellow hackers, the name he likes to use, have so quickly accumulated.

PARKER: I think that the success carries a certain responsibility. So often, people, especially in the technology world, who come from nothing and maybe they succeed very quickly, it takes them a while to figure out that they even have any power in the world at all.

HARLOW: He tells me why he launched the Parker foundation, backing it with a $600 million donation, and why he doesn't want it to play by the rules.

[15:40:04] PARKER: There are just too many of these massive institutionalized charities. We need more philanthropists to deploy more quickly within their lifetimes. Gates and Buffett have signed up to this idea themselves.

HARLOW: The way he puts it, the geeks were not supposed to inherit the earth, but in many respects they have, and the huge wealth transfer into the hands of young Silicon Valley hackers means a new model of giving, he says, is needed.

PARKER: This generation of people who are young, their often thought of as geek, they probably refer to themselves as hackers, come into their own and start to realize that they have a responsibility. That having enormous wealth, being one of the thousand or so richest people in the world, it's incumbent on you to do something with that.

Part of what this new generation of philanthropist will bring to the table is the idea that everything is on the table. I find it very strange when I look at entrepreneurs or successful business people who had a huge impact, largely by taking chances. But when they make that switch to being philanthropists, they suddenly become very conservative. If Andrew Carnegie had been alive to see the creation of the Internet, would he have shifted gears, would he stop building libraries and instead built Wikipedia?

HARLOW: Risk is something Sean Parker knows like the back of his hand.

PARKER: When you're building a product like Napster, it's really an experiment. You have no idea if this is going to work. You have no idea whether or not it's even legal.

HARLOW: And you've said you're scared. You're scared about making mistakes with how some of this capital is deployed. But be willing to be criticized.

PARKER: I think it's incredibly important in any field in any business that you're willing to be - that you are willing to take criticism and that you're also capable of being wrong.

HARLOW: Parker hasn't said yet what the biggest causes are that he'll fund or how much he'll risk to change the philanthropic world.

A lot of people may not know, but your severe allergies have landed you in the hospital dozens and dozens of times. So much that you've been this close to death.

PARKER: I have spent a lot of time in hospitals. So I think it does reframe your perspective. You know, I think there's a point in everyone's life where they start to appreciate their own mortality.

HARLOW: Do you think about your own mortality now?

PARKER: I think everyone thinks about their and mortality and they probably try to suppress those thoughts as much as possible. The biggest shift I think is when you have kids. You start thinking about the world you're going to leave for your children.

HARLOW: Are you calling on the young entrepreneurs, the young tech billionaires to commit like you have to giving away half or more of their wealth?

PARKER: Well, I think I'm really just conducting an experiment, right? It would be presumptuous of me to make any kind of claimants about what's going to happen. What I'd love to do is create a model that can demonstrate some success.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

HARLOW: And next hour, we're going to have for you what Sean Parker told me about what he makes of income gap in this country, the growing gap between the rich and the poor and why he says more people should be talking about it.

Also, straight ahead, where is David Sweat? Are police any closer to finding this convicted murderer who has been on the run now for 22 days? A live report straight ahead.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You take back a lot of things, some more that you didn't think you are at the point of bringing back.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was angry at everyone. I didn't want anything to do with anybody.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It can be kind of hard. You just get kind of anxious.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You stop feeling, basically.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All three of my combat deployments were really intense. There was no time to cope.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I decided to hike the Appalachian Trail because it had been a dream of mine growing up. I saw it as a personal challenge. But about two-thirds of the way, I realized I was processing all of these experiences that I had put away. And I knew that there were other combat veterans that needed to do that.

Warrior hike provides veterans with all the equipment and supplies they need to complete a long distance hike. It's just like a deployment, except instead of going to fight a war, your mission is to be a civilian again. Just being in the woods. Out here, there's nothing to do but think. There's internal quiet. And some of the problems that you're dealing with get hammered away.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Just being around other military is worth more than words can say.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How many years now?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fifteen years.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our veterans also receive trail town support along the way.

[15:45:02] UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You can see how much they care. It helps.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We help veterans prepare for the next chapter of their life.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You're planning to take it as it comes and move on.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm looking for that sense of calm in every step I take. I think I'm going in that direction.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[15:49:41] HARLOW: The search for an escaped inmate in upstate New York continues today on day 22. Only one of those convicted murders remains at large. David Sweat, he was serving a life sentence for shooting a sheriff's deputy 22 times. He's still on the run evading 100 law enforcement officers, and he still believed to be in the upstate New York area right by the prison where he escaped. It is about 20 miles from the Canadian border. And there are, as I said, more than 1100 people taking part in that search. Police, the FBI, border patrol, all fanned out in the wooded area trying to pinpoint him and trying to surround him. Listen.

[15:50:20] JONATHAN GILLIAM, FORMER FBI SPECIAL AGENT: This is really only the second time where they have actually had definitive proof that they are in this location. So they were able to respond quicker and now they pretty much have him pinned in, at least we hope so, and I just wouldn't be surprised if within the next 24 hours he doesn't get caught or they don't have a shootout, because he's going to start getting tired.

HARLOW: The area where the search is focusing on is dotted with cabins like this one. When you are looking at some pictures that we got from NBC News of the cabin that Richard Matt and David Sweat are believed to have broken into last week presumably possibly taking supplies, weapons, et cetera, including a 20 gauge shotgun carried by Richard Matt. Police found that when they shot and killed him yesterday. It ended poorly for Matt. As I said he was shot and killed. Luckily no members of law enforcement were hurt.

Police are now telling us Richard Matt's body has arrived in Albany, New York, where they will perform an autopsy. That leaves David Sweat, who is a dangerous killer on his own. Maybe more mobile now that he is alone, perhaps. Also his mindset clearly, clearly has changed being alone and desperate, authorities are saying. What could make things more difficult for these officers is that it leaves residents also on edge.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Still, it's not, you know, you still worry about it at night when you go to sleep. It was a little bit easier last night knowing that, you know, they had caught one guy or killed him. But knowing that there's still another one out there, they're still out there, it's dangerous, you know?

HARLOW: Well, the authorities are going door to door. They are manning road blocks all around the area where they have set up this perimeter. We are told right now those bloodhounds that are sniffing out trying to find his scent, they have come up empty so far. Seemingly this trail has gone cold at least for right now.

Shock, disbelief and grief, all emotions being felt after three terror attacks on three different continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, all on Friday.

In France, the president has raised the security level for the next few days following an incident (INAUDIBLE). That is one man is in custody after he reportedly crashed his car into a gas plant and hung his boss' decapitated head in a factory gate. The suspect has been on a terror watch list.

In Kuwait today, thousands attended the funeral for the 27 victims of a suicide attack. ISIS claiming responsibility for that bomb that ripped through a Shiite mosque area during Friday prayers.

And in Tunisia, tourists are leaving a seaside luxury resort in droves. This after a gunman opened fire there yesterday, killing at least 38 people and wounding at least 36 others. Here's a look at what all broke out.

KATRINA, GERMAN TOURIST: Suddenly pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: And you saw it?

KATRINA: Everybody suddenly stand up and they were running, running really fast. Everyone cried run, run, run, run, run! And also security, they all told us to run, run, go into your rooms, run away.

ELIZABETH O'BRIEN, IRISH TOURIST: I just got out of the water after being in the water with my sons and they were still in the water. (INAUDIBLE) I was looking towards them. I heard this sound to my left which I thought sounded like fireworks or something. I didn't know what it was. It was like machine gun because it was rapid. It definitely wasn't one or two shots. It was a rapid fire. So as I heard, started to hear the second I was running into the water and trying to tell the boys we've got to get out, without scaring them but I have to say the shooting, we've got to go, we've got to go. All I was thinking is I've got to get the boys into our room.

CLAUDE BECER, INJURED BELGIAN TOURIST (through translator): We were nearly 20 people. Young women hid us in the laundry room where the towels are washed. We were still hearing gun shots for a while. We got out of there and went upstairs. Minutes after that, police arrived and we were relieved. They were wearing bulletproof jackets. Meanwhile, the young women took care of me and my wife and saved my life, since I took a bullet.

HARLOW: Also on Friday, the same day as those three attacks broke out, U.S. officials issued a bulletin from law enforcement warning of possible terrorist threats to this country around the fourth of July holiday. The bulletin does not warn of any active known plots. Officials putting it out there saying they want everyone of course to be vigilant. We will talk more about that a little later this afternoon.

Also, switching gears here. America knows him as the rhinestone cowboy. Now the CNN film about Glen Campbell, "All be me," is a remarkable film, a look at his battle with Alzheimer's.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

[15:55:06] UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Glen, last night at (INAUDIBLE), you sometimes forgot what key it was in but you could always remember the melody. How is that?

GLEN CAMPBELL, SINGER: I couldn't answer it but I can do it. And I can do it when I want to do it. It's amazing. Sometimes I don't want to do it. No, it's just something that's in your system that I really don't know what it is. I wish I knew.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Look over there.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: During the course of our touring, we would have, you know, a few weeks here or a few days there where we get to come back to Malibu and try to enjoy a normal life.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Play the piano for me. Open and close.

CAMPBELL: I'm a guitar player.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I can see. Open and close your hands.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: But we're still dealing with the little things every day that are so difficult for Glen like where's the bathroom in your own home and every second is a challenge for him.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

HARLOW: Remarkable film. You don't want to miss it Sunday night 9:00 p.m. eastern here on CNN. We'll be right back.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[16:00:00] HARLOW: All right, top of the hour. 4:00 eastern. I'm Poppy Harlow in New York.

And we begin with our breaking news out of upstate New York in hot pursuit and hoping to trail has not gone cold. Twelve hundred law enforcement officers scouring (ph) the wooded area in upstate New York.
