In Asia on Tuesday, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 gained 200 points to close up 1.19 percent at 17,047, its highest finish since August 9. Technology companies Sony (4.2 percent) and Canon (2.6 percent) and automakers Nissan (3 percent) were among the biggest gainers. A spokeswoman for the Maricopa County medical examiner said an autopsy would be conducted Monday morning. "She's what you'd expect a little girl in elementary school to be like," he said. "You would never know something like that happened. Ever." This is Brown's first visit to Iraq since becoming prime minister in June. Investigators said officers went to check on her five to 10 minutes later. Police policy requires that be done every 15 minutes. The tech-dominated Nasdaq also gained 1.5 percent for its highest close since February 2001 while the S&amp;P 500 gained 1.3 percent. "The degree of recovery in trading volume will largely decide how high the market can go," he said.

 "Sometime during the time she went into custody, she went into medical distress," he said. Gotbaum was the mother of three young children and the daughter-in-law of longtime New York City Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum.  Allen said he never witnessed Stiles physically assault anyone. CNN and other news organizations did so until the child was found, and De Meo asked media to stop showing the picture.  "The mother has cooperated with us," De Meo said. "We believe that the mother was not aware of anything that went on with this young girl. It was very sad for her to find this out."  "But I have seen him verbally and mentally assault many people," Allen told CNN. "He's good with mind games. He's good at twisting people's realities and manipulating people." Authorities have identified Chester A. Stiles, 37, as the suspect in the tape. A  resident of Pahrump, Nevada, he remains at-large, De Meo said. Pahrump is about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

 Someone close to Stiles told investigators Stiles is a "survivalist type" and always carries a weapon, Nye County District Attorney Bob Beckett said.    Todd Allen, a Las Vegas resident, told CNN he once lived with the girl from the video and her mother. He said he recognizes his old apartment from scenes in the video. He said he knows the suspect because Allen's mother dated Stiles and the couple spent time together at Allen's apartment. Watch Allen describe Stiles and the girl » While handcuffed, the New Yorker became "disruptive" and she was taken to a holding room, where she was left alone, Hill told CNN affiliate KTVK. Stiles was a distant friend of the girl's family, De Meo said.  Betsy Gotbaum called Carol Ann Gotbaum "a wonderful, wonderful person" and a great mother. She said the family was dealing with the situation "the best way we can."
