THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[12:00:00] RANDI KAYE, CNN ANCHOR: Hello everyone. Thanks for joining me. I'm Randi Kaye in for Fredericka Whitfield. For the breaking news out of France. Plane debris washed ashore in a remote island in the Indian ocean, has just arrived at a state of the art lab outside Toulouse. The debris is thought to be a piece of a plane wing. Officials are confident that it is from a Boeing 777 and maybe part of the long missing Malaysian 370.

CNN's Saima Mohsin is outside the lab and Saima, what can you tell us now that this very precious piece of possible evidence has arrived there?

SAIMA MOHSIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's had a long journey here Randi, and just a short while ago led by a police escort that hurried it down through these gates with police car escorting if. It was in a large white van. In a sealed box. Also seeing a flurry of other people arriving, not sure if they are scientists but they are here in this state-of-the-art fast ill the facility.

Is it from a 777 aircraft experts say they believe it is. Is it one that belongs to MH370, we know that's the only missing aircraft in the world at this point and we believe went down in the Indian ocean but there are other part that's sometimes get exchange so they don't want to say they believe it is for sure until they take a closer look at it.

And more importantly, once they do confirm it is from MH370 they will take a look at this in depth and find out what really happened. Why they can do that is inside those labs they will take a detailed look at the edges of this what we believe to be a flapperon on of a right wing of a 777 aircraft. The way in which those edges have torn away from the main body can tell expert what's might have happened. Did it come off in the air or when it hit the water or was there some kind of explosion. Those are the tests going to be carried out. I'm going to let you see it.

It's a huge facility but it is shut for the weekend. It won't open until Monday morning when scientists and forensics will start looking at it. Investigators from around the world, France, Malaysia, people from Boeing all flying in to meet on Tuesday and their analysis will start in earnest on Wednesday. Some time to come. Randi?

KAYE: Yes. I think a lot of people are anxious for an answer. Saima, you have answered that for us, thank you for that.

Meanwhile, let's bring in CNN safety analyst, David Soucie, he's former FAA accident investigator and author of "Why Planes Crash" and David Gallo, oceanographer, director of special projects in Massachusetts.

David, to you first, why has it taken more than 18 months do you think for any piece of this plane if it is indeed from MH370 to be found?

DAVID GALLO, WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION: Well, Randi, it's a long way, it's over thousands of miles. And the ocean currents even though they move steadily they move slowly and not always in a straight line.

So in fact, I think early on some of the Australian scientists predicted this is about the window of time things would start showing off the west side of the Indian ocean so this is about right in terms of sometime and place.

KAYE: And David Soucie, I'm sure you heard them say they are going to look closely at the edges of this piece and we know the front didn't look like it sustained a lot of damage but the back end is pretty well torn apart. What can this piece of the plane tell us about what might have happened if they do determine it is from that plane.

DAVID SOUCIE, CNN SAFETY ANALYST: Well, from looking at the pictures it is clearly evident to me this part right now surface was not on the aircraft when it hit the water it was separated in the air by an extreme speed or after it skimmed across the water it could have been extended in some manner and then pulled off before the front wing, the actual wing hit the water. Because if it had it would have made an abrupt stop and this would have been much more damage on the front leading edge of that right now control surface.

[12:05:00] KAYE: So the condition is really key. David Gallo, I mean, this piece might have been in the water almost 17 months. So investigators figure that out how long it's been in the water?

GALLO: Yes, I think probably what they can do is tell us if it's only been in the water for two months. But they will be able to, biologists will look at this in detail and there is probably a little bit of corrosion, also there are animals growing on that piece like a science experience so they will look at that marine life and resident due on that piece and have some idea whether 500 plus days fits the story, sure.

KAYE: And David Soucie, are you surprised investigators aren't going to start on this until mid-week and how quickly will they have answers.

SOUCIE: Not at all. I'm surprised it is going to be that quick because I've been to that lab and just getting cleared, think about it, you got the chain of custody, this could still be a criminal investigation so every piece is to be treated as evidence. Chain of custody and record of access, who has seen it, where it's been all of it has to be documented going forward. It's going to take a while.

KAYE: And David Gallo, I mean what about this other piece, that could be related, this piece of a possible suitcase, is that a good league and how much can investigators learn from that.

GALLO: Well, my understanding it has gone to a different lab maybe just outside of Paris. They will be able to tell fairly quickly whether this is probably something that was on the aircraft or not. There's an awful lot of trash in the oceans, wouldn't surprise me if it just washed off some dock some place. We'll wait to see on that.

KAYE: All right, David Gallo, David Soucie, thank you both.

GALLO: Thanks Randi.

KAYE: Breaking news now. We're getting new information on two separate terrifying incidents over New York's JFK airports, drones driving dangerously close to a JetBlue airliner and so close the unmanned craft could have been sucked into an engine.

One drone cited within 100 feet of a Delta right now when it was about to land at JFK with 154 people on board and just hours earlier turns out a JetBlue plane in route of Haiti reported unmanned aircraft also while on approach to JFK. This is pretty scary, what is the latest?

NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Terrifying, I'm sure for the passengers on board if they had a clue. Two incidents at JFK airport involving drones, close calls have more than doubled since last year.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

VALENCIA (voice-over): Two incident in one day at the same airport. CNN has learned about a second close call between a drone and a commercial airline in the skies above New York City. Jet blue 834 reported seeing an unmanned aircraft on approach to JFK. Less than three hours later a second encounter, this time by Delta right now with 154 people on board when the pilot spots a drone about 100 feet below the plane. The pilot immediately contacts air traffic control.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Did you by any chance get the color or type.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No it's not close enough to be able to tell.

VALENCIA: Then JFK warned other pilots of the possible danger.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right now ahead of you reported a drone Bennett field you might see that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, we're watching out for it.

VALENCIA: Phil weighed in saying, without a doubt, this was a close call. He explains a drone flying within 100 feet of a plane could easily be sucked into an engine. PHIL DERNER, NYC AVIATION: These drones are made with aircraft

aluminum, going into an engine could destroy an engine even injure or kill a pilot.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

VALENCIA (on camera): Scares like the one happened at JFK happen more often than you think, at least two drone incidents each day, 60 a month. In terms of these two both planes landed safely and FAA is investigating both incident.

[12:10:00] The FAA is looking for whoever operated the drone or drones, not sure if it is the same drone or not. Whoever was plating that drone or drones could face federal charges, Randi.

KAYE: And the FAA certainly have rules governing drone use. How are they going to enforce these?

VALENCIA: The fact 6 the matter, drones are becoming increasingly popular for personal use. FAA has put rest ribs where's they could go. Restrictions where they could go. Not supposed to fly be above 400 feet -- all of the rules have been violated in this incident.

KAYE: Thank you very much.

VALENCIA: You bet.

KAYE: Next, one American dentist extradited for killing one of treasured lions. Will it happen, we'll debate it.

And plus getting deep about his marriage, a topic he says people need to talk about more.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KAYE: The American dentist accused of illegally killing a lion has finally reached out to U.S. officials as Zimbabwe starts extradition proceedings against him.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

OPPAH MUCHINGURI, ZIMBABWE MINISTER OF ENVIRONMENT, WATER AND CLIMATE: Unfortunately it was too late to apprehend as he has already absconded to his country to origin we're therefore appealing for his extradition so he be made accountable for his illegal action.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

[12:15:00] KAYE: The lion was a huge tourist draw, hunters lured him out before wounding him with a crossbow and finishing two days later. Good news his cubs will probably survive. They are being defended by his brother.

Let's bring in our legal guides, Avry Freedman, civil rights attorney in Cleveland, and Richard Herman, New York law professor joining us from Vegas. A lot to talk about. Richard, is it is legal to hunt lion in Africa and Zimbabwe.

RICHARD HERMAN, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Personally I think it is barbaric to hunt big game like this but it is legal in Zimbabwe and they like it. Again is it illegal? Here I am telling you randy that they're going to have major problems. There's no way that the United States is going to allow this United States Citizen...

AVERY FREEDMAN, CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY: That's the only thing that I agree with. That's the only thing.

KAYE: We will get into the extradition in a moment. Wasn't it the fact that the land owner did not have a quote for 2015. Isn't that what's going to make it illegal?

FREEDMAN: One does not have to commit the crime and prove it in the United States to get extradition. The bottom line as horrible as this is, and I agree what they did this really was not a hunt, they killed an animal. Lured Cecil the lion out. I guess that they thought that It was an appetizer and shot him with a bow arrow and then shot him.

An extradition, the experience of the United States we have treaties with Zimbabwe and France and did we get lance back? Did Italy get Amanda Knox back? An extradition in this case is null. The United States can still go after him under what is called the act and that prohibits crimes in other countries. The fish & wildlife are not crazy about the individual. They may very well go after him.

FREEDMAN: How could the Lacy Act work? How would the U.S. go after him? It's the U.S. Department of Justice and the agency is the United States fish & wildlife agency. In 2009 they convicted him according to the chief of that agency lying about a bear hunt. Federal officials have their eye on him, and they may well go after him.

HERMAN: The lacy law surrounds taking the carcass from Africa and bringing it back go to the United States. He never did that. The fact that poaching is illegal in the United States as well as Zimbabwe, that's true. However, this is going to come down by the department of state and not the department of justice. You have to think would the United States really send an American into that for justice.

KAYE: If he comes out of hiding.

FREEDMAN: We want to agree on that one point. That's it.

KAYE: All right. We will leave it there. Richard Herman, Avery Freedman, thanks guys.

FREEDMAN: Good to see you. Take care. Take care Randi.

KAYE: Next a highly and personal opening message from the founder of Facebook. Making a big revelation about his marriage in a topic that needs to be talked about more.

Also keeping an eye on the hurricane with Hawaii in the path. And Donald Trump chats with CNN before the big debate and has a message for Vladimir Putin.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You mentioned Russia yesterday and make friends with Putin.

DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: No, I don't say friends with Putin. Putin has no respect for President Obama. He will respect me I tell you.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

[12:20:00] (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hey, in my city Raleigh, North Carolina. Starting here in my park. One ride for the carousel, please.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It dates back to 1911. It has 52 animals and all carved.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A little big for this I think. Beautiful.

In North Carolina we have a very rich sport's history, so what better place to go than the sport's hall of fame.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Some of the biggest displays are Michael Jordan, Jim and David Thompson.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The North Carolina is actually home to Nascar and here we have two of the greatest drivers every in in car. The in testimony day or the and one of the driver's uniforms and then Richard Petty. One of the cars that he raced in back in the day. If you want a great bite to eat, you have to come to the angus barn.

We're going to take you down to the wine cellular. We're here in the wild turkey lung, can you tell us about the lounge and turkeys.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Well, these used to hold wild turkey bourbon in them, and we have the largest collection in the world. We have over 600.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Goodness gracious. Thanks for joining me. I am getting hungry, so I am going get a bite.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

[12:25:00] KAYE: A Delta flight preparing to land at JFK airport had a close call with a drone. The tower alerted other flights and they landed safely.

It was his second incident of the day. A JetBlue reported one earlier in the key. Turning off the coast of Hawaii and could impact the sands. It's a category two storm with winds at 100 miles an hour. It forces to lose strength but it could cause strong surf, wind and rain as well.

Pro-wrestling legend has died. He was one of the best bad guys in proposal wrestling history. The 61-year-old passed away in his sleep by cardiac arrest.

Facebook is becoming one of the most popular ways the make baby announcements, but this one maybe the most shared ever. Mark announce that had he and his wife are expecting a baby girl. He did not stop there. He also reveal that had the couple has had three miscarriages. It's a lonely experience. Most don't discuss miscarriages because you worry that problems will distance you or reflect upon you as if you're defective or did something wrong. So let's talk more about this with CNN common at a or the.

MEL ROBBINS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, I thought that it was a beautiful and very the end and open post. It reminded me of a time in my life when my husband and I were first married and we like so many other couples miscarried, and it's common than you believe, and he is right. Most people do not talk about it.

KAYE: He described it as a lonely experience. How so? What do you think that he meant by that?

ROBBINS: Well, so many couples have this three month time line where they design tide that they're going to tell anybody because something could go wrong. Since 80 percent of miscarriages happen during the first trimester what happens if you have announced it and have a miscarriage, it's difficult to tell people that's actually what happened with you, and so while I don't think that society has necessarily a taboo on talking about it, I think that we impose one.

It's a very personal experience and what he's done by talking about what happened to both himself and her and having three miscarriages is not to say that it's common. So common in fact that they estimate that there's a million a year in the United States alone miscarriages, so what he has done is really opened the door to allow people to talk about it and that creates understand, and also he sets an example and say that is we've had three and pregnant and expecting a healthy baby girl and so could you.

KAYE: Yes, and I guess that he is trying to help woman not feel shame and defected and that's the word that he used and that's so important.

ROBBINS: Yes, absolutely. I love the fact that he is writing about it. So many men are going through this as well with their partners as their partners are losing the pregnancy, but it's also a loss for the man. To have mark talk about it is really interesting. Typically when you hear someone talk about it, they're a close friend and sharing the experience and usually from the woman's perspective.

I love the fact that he was the one writing about it and of course what's happened and it's happened in every single kind of major issue whether people were talking about HIV back in the day or you saw the out pouring for Caitlyn Jenner online. The truth of the matter is whether it's god or bad, it's part of the human experience and many chances are that others will relate to it. KAYE: Some people say that there are too many on Facebook that over

share. Do you think that there's any risk for him here and them. Was this over sharing by any chance?

ROBBINS: Well, you know, Randi, it's an interesting question. I think that given the platform and his reach and how private that he and she are and that she is a doctor, I don't look at this almost as over sharing.

[12:30:03] I see that he made a decision to use the platform that he's built to start a very important conversation and to give people permission to come out of the shadows and out of the privacy in the isolation of their relationships. And actually get connected.

Not necessarily on Facebook but with each other, with their hinds, with their families about the kinds of things that you normally keep very private and grieve about, you know, in isolation. And I think that's a very powerful thing that he's done already.

KAYE: Yeah. He certainly struck a nerve, I mean, if you read some of the comments so many women can relate and he's really moved quiet a few of them.

ROBBINS: Absolutely. Absolutely, I was certainly one of them.

KAYE: All right Mel Robbins, appreciate you sharing your story and talking with us about it.

ROBBINS: Always great to see you Randi. Thanks for having me.

KAYE: Thank you.

Next, CNN catches up with Donald Trump in Scotland ahead of next weeks presidential debate. But who else will join him on that debate stage, and how should they prepare themselves for engaging the Donald.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: It'll all change with me, it'll all change interestingly in your poll -- CNN did a poll. And they said, on leadership, Trump is by part of the best. On the economy Trump is by part of the best.

I have a couple of weakness. A lot of people said, "Well, but is he a nice person." I'm not sure that matters. But I think I am a nice person, people like me.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:35:08] KAYE: Hello everyone. Thanks for joining me. I'm Randi Kaye, in for Fredricka Whitfield today.

Donald Trump spent the past few days in Scotland attending the Women's British Open. He didn't hold back during the only interview that he gave while he was there. And that was to our Max Foster. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TRUMP: I use to be 100 percent loved. Now I'm probably 55 percent loved. OK, so I gave up 45 percent.

But the fact is, you know, I'm leading in all the polls including your poll, so that's an honor, I brought up their importance as I can.

MAX FOSTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Is that surprise you, your success in the polls?

TRUMP: Well, a little bit because I know I have to be harsh to let people know what's going on. And we were talking about illegal emigration, we're talking about taking care of the vets it's so important.

Taking care of the vets is such an important thing. The veterans in our country are treated so poorly. And I would make sure that that's stop.

So I bring up things like that and other things trade. Trade is so big. I mean I would be so good on trade, because we're falling behind China, we're falling behind so many other countries, even in education with 25, if you think of it we're number 25 in education, we have third world countries that are better than us.

So we have a long way to go with this country and we will do something I think spectacular if I win.

FOSTER: You apply a lot of money into defense spending, where is the money going to come from? You know, you say you're going to make friends with Russia, but when it comes about the Crimea.

TRUMP: Right, it's going to come from a great economy, it come from just a great economy, our economy is very weak.

We probably have a 21 percent real unemployment rate and I heard somebody that they actually are creating economy states actually 43 percent unemployment.

Now if you think about it, it sounds ridiculous. But so many people aren't looking for jobs, because...

FOSTER: They don't create jobs, how we're going to create jobs?

TRUMP: We're going to create greatness for our country. We're going to make our country great again in the sense we're going to bring back one of the things, we're going to bring back jobs from China, we're going to bring back jobs from Japan, we're going to bring jobs from Mexico, were going to bring back jobs from all of these...

FOSTER: ... because the reason that job...

TRUMP: No, no, some prices -- and prizes won't go up, but income will go up, people are going more money. It'll all change, with me it'll all change. Interestingly in your post CNN did a poll. And they said on leadership Trump is by far the best. On the economy Trump is by far the best.

I have a couple of weakness, a lot of people said, "Well, but is he a nice person." I'm not sure that matters. But I think I'm a nice person, people like me.

FOSTER: You need respect right, as a leader?

TRUMP: You need respect. You need respect as a country.

FOSTER: On Russia, you mentioned Russia yesterday, how are you going to make friends with Putin, is that the right way...

TRUMP: No, I don't say make friends, but...

FOSTER: ... and work with Putin.

TRUMP: Putin has no respect for President Obama, he will respect me, that I tell you, that he will respect our country.

FOSTER: What do you do with Crimea for example?

TRUMP: Well, let me explain. Yeah, let me explain.

First of all this is Europe's problem much more so than ours, OK. And Europe isn't complaining as much as we are. But this is more of a Europe problem. And when Europe comes to us and says, "We want your help, we want your help," but they're not really doing that.

They're dealing with Russia, they're taking in the gas, they're taking in the oil. They're not really doing that. And, you know, were making a big deal out of it.

But why is in Germany leading this one, you know, Germany is a very rich, very powerful nation, why are they dealing on it more so.

FOSTER: As soon as you got off the helicopter, all the Scottish journalist, were bombarding you with question about immigration.

Trump: Yeah, they were. And many people have agreed that I was right. And some of the people in that group said yesterday, because they're believing you are right.

Do me a favor, you're now doing like everybody else does, OK. And what I said is Mexico was sending and that's true. Mexico is sending. People are coming through that border from all over the world, they're coming through the border, we have the poorest border, we have a border where you can just walk right into the country. And you can't do that

To have a country, you have to have a strong border. You have to have a really strong border. And this has to stop, what's going on now has to stop.

FOSTER: Who will build the wall and how will it be made? TRUMP: I will build the wall and Mexico is going to pay for it. And they'll be happy to pay for it, because Mexico is making so much money from the United States if that's going to be peanuts. And all these other characters say, "Oh, they won't pay, they won't pay," because they don't know the first thing about how to negotiate.

Trust me, Mexico will pay for it.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

KAYE: Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail here in the U.S. today.

Let's bring in Political Strategist Brian Morgenstern and CNN Political Commentator Errol Louis to talk a little bit about Trump.

Errol the Republican debate now, just a few days away, Trump still hasn't really take any stump on any serious policies. He's making a lot of bold statements like you just heard. But what is he need to do to stay fresh before Thursday's debate?

ERROL LOUIS, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Well, from the point of view of winning the debate or helping his campaign, he doesn't have to do very much at all, I mean Randi, he split a couple of issues on the agenda of the borders issue obviously we just heard him talking about of the issue of the care of veterans and so fort.

But realistically on a stage with nine other candidates and it's a 90 minute debate, you know, that have to really go in to too much step at all.

[12:40:04] Now what he would be well advised to do is go beyond those two issues and talk with some specificity about what he would do about taxes, about trade policy, about things that really matter, to try and get the economy moving, if that indeed is a promise he intends to keep.

KAYE: And Errol, I mean, he says he's going to do a lot of these things. Like we were just saying, bring back the jobs to America and make Mexico pay for the wall at the U.S. border.

Can he actually accomplish these things?

LOUIS: Oh, I mean look, the question -- the specific question is really, can he convince people that he can do these things.

And one striking thing about the Trump campaign so far is that he doesn't act like somebody who was auditioning for a job.

If somebody came to him and wanted a job and said "I'd be really good on important issues. I'd be the greatest on this. I'm not going to tell you how. I'm not going to tell you why I can do it and nobody else ever could. But you're going to just have to trust me on that."

He wouldn't hire that person. And ultimately, the American people are not going to hire such a person. So we're going to need to hear a lot more details, the sooner the better.

KAYE: All right. So Brian, Jeb Bush called Trump's rise in the polls a phenomenon. Then we heard Rand Paul call it a temporary loss of sanity.

How do you think that they are preparing for the debate behind the scenes?

BRIAN MORGENSTERN, ATTORNEY: Well, I've heard one a Chief Strategist said, it's like preparing for a NASCAR race when you know one of the drivers will be drunk.

So I guess that's one way of doing it.

I think these guys need to take a page out of Trump's playbook. I have been very hard on the Donald over the past several weeks. But look, these guys and ladies are very successful people. So successful in fact if they can run for the presidency of the United State, they should be having a lot more fun.

Look how Donald's doing it. He says what he feels. He doesn't mince words. And you see the other candidates sort of cautiousness and guardedness is a weakness.

And so I think they can really take, you know, an example from Trump.

And lighten the mood of your campaign. You're going to have the most humbling experience which is citizens is asking you how you can help them. That is extremely satisfying. You're going to meet some of the most fascinating people across America. Put a smile on your face and have a good time with this. And I think that's one thing that Trump can offer the other candidates.

That's the only way to respond to this. You can't respond by being angry. I disagree with Rick Perry saying that, you know, he's a cancer on conservatism.

You know, having pursed lips and a frown on your face is not going to make voters like you more. You got to lighten up and have as much fun as Trump is having. That's how you respond.

KAYE: But he's got a big personality. And I think some folks worry that maybe he's going to suck up all the air in the room the night of that debate. So is there anyone Brian that you think that could shine?

MORGENSTERN: I think they're all going to try to. But it's going to be hard for all of them equally because as Errol said, in the 90 minute debate with 10 candidates. Each of them is going to have less than10 minutes to speak.

And thanks to Trump, the ratings are going to be huge.

So the goal I think is going to be conveying the maybe two or three ideas that his candidate has word (ph). That defines a vote for them. A vote for me is X. And that's pretty much what you're going to be able to get out of these things. So it's pretty much an elevator pitch, essentially, that I think the voters are going to get out of this debate.

KAYE: Certainly going to be entertaining. Brian Morgenstern, Errol Louis, thank you guys. We'll see you next hour again.

MORGENSTERN: Thanks Randi. See you soon.

LOUIS: Thank you.

KAYE: Coming next, saying goodbye to Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Funeral services today for the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown about six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub.

An update on the investigation as well, Next.

Plus, new video just released of the moments before the movie theater shooter open fire.

Plus breaking news out of JFK airport, two dangerously closed calls between airliners and drones.

Keep it on CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[12:47:27] KAYE: Funeral services are underway this hour for Bobbi Kristina Brown.

A private services being for the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, she died last Sunday. Six months after she was found she was unresponsive in a bathtub in her home.

Sian-Pierre Regis is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of swaggernewyork.com and an HLN Contributor and his joining me now from New York with more on this.

So Sian-Pierre Regis, I mean security today we're seeing. And unlike her mother service, no media right inside?

SIAN-PIERRE REGIS, FOUNDER AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF SWAGGERNEWYORK.COM: No media inside. Really only local crews in Atlanta were covering this event.

The family wanted to keep it really, really private. Of course the last six months have been fraught with hounding media around what's happening with Bobbi Kristina and the latest updates and the family really wanted to keep this a private service.

There were not throngs of fans as they expected because the security was so high. But we do know that the funeral services are wrapping up now. And Bobbi Kristina will then move on to New Jersey where she be finally laid to rest along side her mom.

KAYE: And what is the latest on the investigation into her death? We know she was found in the home that she shared with Nick Gordon, who by some reports his describe as a husband others called him a boyfriend.

REGIS: Yes, so it came out surely after, you know, Bobbi Kristina was found unresponsive in a bathtub. That in fact she was not married to Nick Gordon. That he was just more of a significant other. There is a $10 million civil lawsuit against him that alleges he not only took money from her bank account and transfer to his own. But that he was a widely abusive man.

So we're starting to see more and more traction on the case against him now that Bobbi Kristina is finally being laid to rest.

KAYE: And she was the sole heir of Whitney Houston to state, her mother's state.

So we know she got some money from that already. But what happens next there?

REGIS: We'll I believe that a lot of that money will then be - it is in Bobbi Browns hands or Pat Houston's hands.

And of course, you know, there has been so much in-fighting between the two families that to this day still continuing.

Apparently there are -- people are alleging that there has been lot of fights around. What they want to do laying her to rest.

So we'll see where that money goes. But I believe it will go to Pat Houston who is was really close with Whitney and is the wife of Whitney's brother.

[12:50:00] KAYE: All right. Thanks for clearing up.
