The younger girl comfort has not been found. The second girl is estimated to between 10 and 12 years old.
"We did confirm that she is a resident here although as far as we can tell she has no ties to that little girl," Boruchowitz told co-anchor Harry Smith.
"We have no idea where he's from where she's from and no idea who they are or where they are," Boruchowitz said earlier in the week.
The tape a little longer than 30 minutes clearly shows the adult man performing criminal sexual acts that Boruchowitz said included rape. "everything else and then some."
"There is nothing in her eyes. It's like her soul has been taken her spirit has been taken," Sheriff Tony DeMeo said. "We want to find this girl. I know everybody else out there wants to find this girl."
"This poor little girl she's probably going to be going through - well she obviously has been through hell," Ed Smart whose daughter Elizabeth was abducted in 2002 said on CBS News' The Early Show. He is now part of an organization called The Surviving Parents Coalition.
Elizabeth Smart was found nine months later and her kidnappers arrested. Smart hopes this little girl will be open too.
"I know that somebody out there knows where she is or something about her and can back up identify her," he told Smith. "And it's just critical that we find her."
The older girl did not appear to have been sexually abused on the tape and the footage appeared to have been shot from a different dwell. Boruchowitz said.
Investigators are also examining whether the two segments were filmed with the same video camera he said.
