We've got the raw politics. Plus, a baby rescued from the rubble in Haiti thought to be an orphan, but now a couple says this child belongs to them.

Goodnight Cessey, David, Isabel, A. Smith, Emily, Dodie, Devin, Nichole, Mike, Kim Casey, Megan, everyone. I hope you have a good day tomorrow.
Anderson, fitting testimonial to our troops and the great work that they do all of the time.
I'm glad Haiti is still being talked about too...but what about Rawanda and any number of other disastrous stories?
Thank you and bless you to the men and women of the USS Comfort!
Good night everyone!!! Well said Anderson...many thanks to all that has assisted in saving so many lives down in Haiti!!!
Good evening Anderson, Kira, Devna, Eliza, 360Team, Megan, Starr, Gabriela, Mike, David & Isabel, Jo Ann, Gloria, Casey, Adelaide, Vivian, A.Smith, Jane, Dodie, Devin, Nicole & Bloggers!
This is a GREAT Shot, review of Haiti! 😛
To you to AC!! 🙂 Thanks to YOU! 😀
Congrats to all!
Good night Anderson Cooper, AC360 Staffers and fellow bloggers!
@David, indiana, Fellow Hoosier,
I can understand if you have not seen the commercial. I hope you can see it; it's very funny and E-Trade has had commercials featuring babies for a long time. Actually one of them was rated No. 2 for Super Bowl commercials if you didn't see it.
I think you'll agree about Lohan once you see it.
what happened to Monley., Anderson? and what about the boy you saved?
Bless all of those on the Comfort!
Anderson– great coverage in Haiti– thanks for the updates!
Thank you AC/360 et all for not giving up on haiti. Good night all !☼
america is so great....god bless the navy and all the services.
@Mike formely from syracuse, If you read the whole story, the baby was found in the arm of the dead nanny.That's why they though she was an orphan.
Well the DNA test will solve the mystery!!! If they are the parents what a miracle!!!
I hope baby will be bring her home with belong her parents, Hope wil have match DNA! I am praying so hard!!!!!
I hope that they turn out to be the parents of that baby and not something else.
Hey Anderson,
Enjoying all stories tonight – tickle me politicans, rabbit Pruis' to learning about the inner workings of gangs. However nothing beats your commitment to covering Haiti.
Thank you.
Have a great evening.
If this couple is the baby's parents the fact that the child is now in the U.S. won't help them emigrate, will it? She's not an anchor baby. She wasn't born in the states.
I don't see any reason why the couple would make up a story.
@Emily: It was the 1970's, I think those crimes were not taken as seriously as today. You only have to think of Roman Polinski. Although, he fled I still think he would have beat those charges back then if he had stayed in the U S.
I find it suspicious that after almost three months these people are saying that this is their baby
How do this couple explain how the baby ended up buried with someone else?
That's so sweet the baby survived is a miracle. Get the DNA results, and return her to her parents as soon as she is well!
@Emily, "I hope that he has a bit with Father Boyle too."
Yes, I remember Father Boyle was so passionate about helping these kids.
@Casey
Very funny!!!! LOL! 🙂
So do DNA testing and find out if the baby is theirs or not
Are there DNA tests that they can run for with the Parents and baby Patrica?
i hope baby patricia ends up where she is supposed to be.
@Molly...you would think they would do background checks.
"That segment leaves me speechless!"
@Jo Ann,
"I felt so badly for Ms. Brock when I first saw "Homicide in Hollenbeck" and hearing about it again brings those feelings back"
It was really emotional watching Ms. Brock. It's a great series this week that AC has. I hope that he has a bit with Father Boyle too. I've not seen any preview to any thing for that as of yet.
@Claus, I have to admit I haven't seen the commercial. Just thought there might be some copying of dialogue, something like that.
A chilling story about the dating game guy. But it's maybe misleading viewing it all in retrospect.
@Cessy-Chicago
I'm with you, i don't need to see that dating game video again in this lifetime!
Creepy is right! Didn't the "Dating Game" do any background checks on contestants prior to the show airing?
@Casey Jones .You are very funny! : )
@Heather- Spokane....true!!! She could have been his next victim.
@Nancy, thanks! I also have to agree with Gayle, I hate it when my date turns out to be a serial killer
Good night everyone my headache is getting the best of me! Enjoy the rest of the show! See you tomorrow.
@ Emily
I agree - it is in his eyes
He does look like Bundy in his younger pictures, doesn't he?
No Thanks! to watching the dating game video. That was enough for me.
Why was he out if he had been convicted of rape already?
Wow, he had been Convicted of Raping a Child and Still made it on the Show!!!
The two contestants never went out.......someone was watching over her!
@Nancy
I agree but she can't never gain full closure but justice would bring at least some phsycological/emotional closure
Regarding "The Dating Game" footage, I find it so interesting how cute we all look when we are young.....OMG I think I need to look in the mirror again (YIKES)!
He looks like Ted Bundy.
i get a bad vibe looking at that serial killer
Very, very creepy story.
I have mixed feelings on the death penalty, but this guy seems to be a definite candidate!
@Heather – Spokane, WA
You are very clever.
