Good afternoon from New York.
On Nightly News tonight we will of course follow the story that broke shortly before we came on the air last night. An Ohio medical examiner has now confirmed the body recovered from a forest Saturday afternoon was that of Jessie Davis, the 9-month pregnant woman who was the subject of a week-long search. In addition to the arrest of her boyfriend, Bobby Cutts, Jr., our Janet Shamlian will report police are also looking into the possibility a second person was involved in either her murder or a cover-up.
NBC's John Yang will preview what some on Capitol Hill believe will be the make or break week for the immigration reform bill which comes back up for debate. On a related note, Don Teague is offering a piece tonight on what could be called a private sector immigration reform plan. It's an effort to get private companies to publicly pledge not to illegally hire undocumented workers.
Last night we showed you exclusive pictures from Jim Maceda's aerial tour of Iraq's hot spots with the top U.S. General in Iraq. Tonight: the same war, but a different view. Kerry Sanders will let us see Iraq from the foot soldier's point of view. Many of them are shooting their own video of daily life on the front lines and posting it on internet pages. Much of it is stuff you don't normally see on TV newscasts.
