unlike many prior to it. violent weather is hipg almost every region of the country. meteorologist bonnie schneider tracking it from the "weather center." a lot are on the road and the last they want to do is run into crazy weather. that's what they will find on the coast. >> unfortunately on the carolina coast we're monitoring the tropics. it's not officially hurricane season. that will begin june 1st. we're up to letter b on the alphabet. this is a subtropical meaning tropical characteristics and cooler characteristics. it's kind of a hybrid. a typical storm, a lot of the center is away from circulation. not that thunderstorm activity won't impact the u.s. we are expecting a westward movement this. storm by the time we get to sunday and monday should bring substantial rainfall to northern florida. that's something we're watching. it will be beneficial because the region has been hit by a

drought. we have pictures of tornadoes, storm reports that popped up yesterday. it was a real volatile day for kansas. look at that tornado. incredible pictures coming to us from storm chasing video. it's really when you see the light behind it, you really get a nice viewpoint of what the tornado looks like with narrow vortex at the bottom. that's when the tornado's strongest winds are at the end of this tornado. looks like this one -- you can hear the hail. >> this is working. >> you can hear the hail. it's hard to say whether that one particularly touched down. we have one injured you can see on the report. we're in the heart of severe weather season. not over yet. something that's a danger, known as the silent killer. you may not think heat is as dangerous as a tornado. people die every year from heat related injuries, illnesses than we see in severe weather. keep in mind heat is dangerous. high temperatures in the 90s for many areas, that's 10 degrees above normal. however, if you're heading to

the beach for relief, we have good news. low 80s around the gulf, through florida. today the weather is fine along the carolina coast. tomorrow we're anticipating beryl. in the northeast a nice looking weekend, some clouds for cape cod. overall nice for the holiday weekend. fredricka, the water temperature in the 60s so a little cool to take a dip in the ocean off the jersey shore. >> cool but refreshing if you're looking at the air temperature. bonnie, how unusual is it, already on b, the second letter, in the hurricane storm list and we haven't officially gotten to hurricane season. >> it is unusual. we've seen now storms both on the pacific side and atlantic side, now a total of four named storms before the hurricane season began. pacific season already did begin. it's not an indication per se of a very active year but just a reminder it's important to be prepared. hurricane season is definitely on the way and we're already getting activity that will impact it. the impact will be felt this

weekend. >> people can read about that and get storm preparation tips from your book because that's your specialty. >> that's right, extreme weather. >> appreciate that. from stormy weather to dangerous fires, flames are racing through an area of michigan that normally would attract a lot of visitors this memorial day weekend. upper peninsula along lake superior. wildfire has scorched 2 1,000 acres there. in florida a raging brush fire caused major problems this weekend for people trying to get to another tourist attraction. that would be disney world. heavy smoke and flames forced police to shut down traffic along a major highway near the amusement park. the road has since been reopened. good news there. one of the men closest to pope benedict xvi is under arrest for allegedly leaking confidential church documents. italian media identified him as the pontiff's butler. he was one of a handful of people with access to the pope's desk. you can see him here actually

riding in the front seat of the popemobile. the vatican launched an investigation after hundreds of the pope's personal letters and other confidential papers were leaked to a journalist. senior correspondent john allen following the developments from rome. he's joining us by phone. first off, better explain the role of this butler. this is someone riding alongside the pope in the popemobile. this is someone who has not only access to the pope but everything that's important and personal to the pope. >> exactly right. pope like prime ministers and presidents live in a bubble. most people don't have daily access to them. the only exception to that would be the members of the personal household, the dozen or so folks that work in the papal amounts. he's got a couple of

secretaries, consecrated women who prepare his meals and two or three butlers and personal assistants. the guy in question -- by the way his identity is no longer a matter of rumors, the vatican issued a statement confirming it. it's paolo gabriele. he works in the papal household, someone the pope would have perceived as her personal family. >> the document leaked to the journalist. did the journalist publish the documents and that's how the leaks were uncovered. >> reporter: the leaks started rolling out in january and february via an italian television program called ""the untouchables"" then started showing up in italian papers. this week, the journalist you're

referring to published a book called "the secret letters of benedict xvi" collecting hundreds with photo copies. it wasn't simple reports but hard copies of the documents themselves which means it was the real deal. the vatican launched an investigation back in february but didn't make much headway. what happened with the release of the book this week, it became clear some of these documents couldn't have come from a variety of vatican office but directly from the papal apartment which allowed investigators to narrow their focus to people who had direct access to the pope. >> does it appear this was one giant leak, one big bulk of information or over a period of time there were a dribble of papers and letters this butler had alleged by been giving to this journalist. >> reporter: well, italian media reporting when vatican security services searched gabriele's apartment, they found not only

stacks of documents but fairly sophisticated reproduction equipment, photo copying and cameras and so forth, which would suggest he had been taking documents and reproducing them over a fairly consider arc of time. it's also the case these leaks started happening after the beginning of the year and unfolded every since, which would also suggest this wasn't just a once and for all thing but, in fact, these documents were being taken as they and and leaked sequentially. >> real quickly, john, 15 seconds or so. of these documents, this information leaked, anything incriminating, particularly revealing about the pope, personal, even embarrassing? >> reporter: well, certainly documents about vatican finances has been -- those leaks have been very embarrassing for the vatican. of course they are trying to persuade the world they have turned the corner in transparency, european list for antimony laundering compliance. these leaks have obviously not

been helpful from that point of view. >> john allen senior vatican analyst joining us. thanks so much for your time and insight. see you later on. back in this country after 33 years, police have finally charged a suspect in the etan patz case. pedro hernandez told police he lured the 6-year-old with promise of a soda, choked him to death and dumped his body in a man mat trash can. he's on suicide watch. his attorney said he had mental problems over the years. some obama campaign ads are blasting romney's old firm bain capital. you won't believe who may have paid for them. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower cholesterol

they came in and sucked the life out of us. >> reporter: the irony, some of the money to pay for this ad may have come from inside the company obama ad is demonizing, they gave $124,900 to obama campaign in this election cycle. three donors have given the president's re-election efforts the maximum amount allowed by law, $35,000 in the case of levine he didn't write his own check to the president he's a bundler, a fund-raiser that helps the obama campaign raise money from others. it's a lot of money from a lot of people that work at a company obama vilifies. >> if they lost we made money. if they survived, we made money.

completely different things. >> reporter: we put calls into the bain capital employees who donated to the president to ask if they will demand their money back now. no one returned our calls a spokesman for bain capital did get back to us and said in a statement it is not a political organization and does not take a position of any kind on candidates. he also said bain capital celebrates the fact its employees are, quote, active in civic affairs and philanthropy across a range of organizations with various policy and political views. dana bash, washington. in an industry dominated by men, how can a woman compete and dominate her business. one woman knows. you'll meet her.

here. five years she worked. when she was terminated she tried to get workers' compensation, disability, she got rejected on all that. eighteen months later she brings this lawsuit. i don't think it's going anywhere. at best there may be a minimal out of court settlement. if she pushes it to the hilt, i don't think she's get a dime. >> avery, sharon stone has called it, quote, an absurd lawsuit with made up and fabricated claims filed by a, quote, disgruntled ex-employee obviously looking to get money any way she can. just as richard said, this is going to be kind of she said, she said? >> it may very well be. in many cases they will document events. whether she documented events or shared events with anyone we may not know. >> recordings? >> that's right. there may be that also. but what's significant to me, if they had that kind of smoking gun evidence, it seems to me they wouldn't have waited 18

months to bring suit. they may have tried to negotiate. the bottom line, there was a press conference where the lawyer said this is on behalf of all people who are underpaid or not paid enough. no, it's not. it's a case involving erlinda elemen. i would hate to agree but i think this case had a long way to go against sharon stone. >> do you think it will be accepted to proceed? >> oh, yeah, the case will go forward, sure. the question is what kind of evidence surfaces. at the point where they can't produce it, they may dispose of it before it gets to trial. >> let's go to another case out of new jersey. this is involving men and women, linda and david on their motorcycle when they were hit by kyle best. both david and linda lost their legs. kyle apparently was texting his girlfriend at the time of the

accident. so they wanted to include the girlfriend in this suit and hold her culpable to negligence here. a new jersey judge ruled the woman texting the boyfriend cannot be held liable for this crash. so what now, avery? >> well, i appreciate what the judge in morris county did and his ruling came down yesterday, the first of its type. i think the issue in this case, the culvert case is much larger than the decision. because one of the arguments that was made was that shannon, the girlfriend of the motorcycle driver -- or car driver was not there physically present but she was electronically present. while the court was right in making sure kyle, the motorcycle driver was liable, will be on the line, i think the court

should have thought more deeply and thought whether or not shannon distracted him as if she were in the car. i think the case, the decision will stand. i think legislatures and courts are going to be dealing with this more and more, because text messaging and driving ultimately creates a problem. i think both courts and legislatures are going to start dealing wit. >> it's a two-way street. if you're actively texting to someone responding right away, then they are virtually kind of present. so richard, if the judge has ruled shannon, the girlfriend, was not aware of the risk, how do you go about that argument, in that she hikely knew he was driving. was she not aware of the risks involved in this constant back and forth while the car was moving? >> you know, the fred, the sole person responsible for operating pursuant to the rules of the road is the driver. so that's where the judge came down here. the physical presence versus electronic presence, that was an

issue that was raised. i agree with avery, i think future legislatures and courts will deal with cases like this. but the judge was very fearful of opening a flood gate of cases where drivers are going to claim they were distracted either by a billboard or some group on the side of the road or any kind of distraction. are you going to be able to call them co-defendants in a case like this? i don't know. horrible, horrific injuries here, loss of limbs. what is significant to me that hasn't been mentioned yet, the driver did not get his license suspended or revoked, so he continues to drive. horrible case, minimal insurance coverage for these poor people that were victimized by this truckdriver. he's pled guilty to criminal charges of prapgt. it's just a horrible, horrible case. >> the court is actually requiring the car driver to go from high school to high school to talk about what can happen when you're texting and driving. i think that's an important part

of the sentence. >> trying to make it a teaching moment. as you said, the other two lost their limbs. it's a tragic case no matter which way you're looking at it. we're going to see you gentlemen again in 20 minutes, talk about another tirey case. this one involving a woman who claims she was fired from her job for being too sexy. sometimes when soldiers come home, they find their world has changed. our cnn hero helps veterans cope with life and find new meaning to it. we'll tell you that story. rocking the red carpet. look it's lisa rinna! lisa hiii,i know you don't need one but will you try on these new depend silhouette briefs for charity and prove just how great the fit is even under a fantastic dress? are you serious? i am serious... sure why not! she's doing it! the best protection now looks, fits and feels just like underwear. hey lisa, who ya wearing? she's wearing the new depend silhouette.

members together to relate to others going through the same thing. there's a whole list of things. for adults they can talk to grief counselors, seminars about how to move forward after the loss of a loved one. for children they get together with mentors, veterans or people who lost someone. they go on activities, arlington cemetery, museums, a picnic. there's art therapy, dance therapy, yoga, massage therapy. there will be a banquet at the end. there's a chance for children to write messages to loved one and attach them to a balloon for a big balloon release later on. the whole idea is to bring them together, spend time with others going through what they are going through and understand where they are coming from. we had a chance to speak earlier with founder, bonnie carol who founded taps back in 1994. here is what she had to say. >> grief is not a mental illness. grief is not a physical injury. grief is a wound of the heart and the absolute most

therapeutic comfort for someone grieving the loss of a loved one is to talk with another young widow pregnant at the time of a loss, a mom grieving the loss of her only child, a family struggling to honor their son's service. >> reporter: and you know, miss carroll talked about the importance of peer to peer, talking to one another. as we know 364 people died in wars in afghanistan and iraq, we're talking about family members of people killed in relation to those wars but not necessarily on the battlefield, at least 10 times the number of people killed, more than 60,000 people affected by the loss of these family members are all coming together. one thing we heard people say, i wish i had met this person or that person under these circumstances but i'm really glad i did meet them. people develop lifelong friendships here. many of them carry on and stay in touch with people who live in their general area, planned

events back home in texas or mississippi, wherever they may be, fredricka. >> thanks so much. athena jones. appreciate that. in arlington. he thought they were going to walk down the aisle and say i do. now their next date will be in a courtroom because she said i don't and broke off the engagement. our legal guys have some pretty strong opinions about this one. . nice. but, y'know, with every door direct mail from the postal service, you'll find the customers that matter most: the ones in your neighborhood. print it yourself or find a local partner. and postage is under 15 cents. i wish i would have known that cause i really don't think i chose the best location. it's not so bad... i mean you got a deal... right?

a new jersey woman claims she was wrongfully fired from her job at a manhattan lingerie distributor. lauren oats said it had nothing to do with her performance. she said it was because of how she looked and what she wore. >> when i was first told that i

was, quote, too hot, end quote, and that my breasts were too large, i was shocked. i thought that i was dressed appropriately every day for my job. >> and now she is suing her former bosses for discrimination. our legal guys are back with this one. avery friedman in cleveland, richard herman in las vegas. she's claiming they fired her because she was too hot, too sexy. if it was about her image, didn't they assess and think about that when they hired her? what might have changed? >> well, i don't know because she was a temp worker. she was there for two days, fredricka. that was it. what's very interesting, unless some employees at the lingerie company are going to back her up, i don't know how one proves that. she claims they wanted her to tape her breast down, minimize

her mammaries, be less sexy, at the press conference, which was a bit tasteless, i don't know if the lawyer could have gotten closer to the plaintiff i have than she did. she picked on because of the religion and gender. she claims bosses were orthodox people and very conservative but it was a lingerie company. so i think it's the eeoc. >> conservative isn't usually the word that goes with lingerie company. is that what you're saying? >> i don't know. i don't know. richard says can't be about qualifications. she has a bachelor's degree in business administration. as far as she knows she was doing a good job. what does she need to prove her case that she was discriminated against because of her image, her body. >> fred, a day and a half she worked. a day and a half. this case is a bust, fred, come

on. you know it is. >> what do you mean? >> what does that mean? >> vegas fix her up. >> she's alleging they asked her to tape down her breast to make them smaller. those are her words. >> how do you get to sexual discrimination and religious discrimination here is beyond me. the fact that gloria allwrong is in this case has tells you -- >> relax. >> this case is so stupid. to waste the court's time and anybody's time with this employee -- at will employee, no written agreement. no employment contract. no nothing. >> so what? >> she says my performance was great at work. a day and a half. come on. they had every right to fire her. they fired her. this case is going nowhere. >> that's not true. >> okay, avery, what part of that do you disagree with? >> well, i mean, look, we're

assuming facts. if some of the managers and employees back her up when the eeoc investigation is not in court, the agency, there may be something there. look, i think it's unlikely. you know what, give the young woman a chance. it sounds ridiculous. yes, there was a tasteless press conference, nothing to do with the marriage. give her a shot, give her a chance. >> we did reach out to the distributor, native intimates. they have no comment on the lawsuit as of yet. let's move onto another case that has a lot of people talking and thinking what would i do in their shoes. a young couple planning to walk down the aisle. they were planning -- had a lot of plans in place to get married. she apparently broke off the engagement and he is suing her for something in the area of $50,000, richard, for deposits

that were put down, flowers, the venue of the wedding, and for half of the rent, back rent he says. so this is rather unusual. we heard of definitely a bride or groom jilted, wound, upset. we're talking about a lawsuit, i'm suing you for breaking off the engagement? is this a legitimate suit? >> hell hath no furry. she told him, i'm a cali girl not a new yorker. this is the second time around on the verge of getting married. >> they broke up before. >> deposits for photographer, voographer, hotel. she told $54,000 from her joint account. >> that's what he says, a little, it was a joint account so are you stealing? >> it's going to be easy to prove she took that money. she definitely returns him a return of money, whether the

rent -- she can't take all that money out. >> sure she can. >> doesn't matter. who put the money in? that's what's going to happen with these people. he probably put it all in their anyway. >> a lot of presumption. interesting. >> just because it's a joint account, you can't drain it. >> i don't agree with that. >> she did have the $32,000 ring he gave her and she did return it. so i guess her point of view is, wait a minute, i'm giving you everything i would think you expect in return for breaking off the engagement and now you're asking me for money. avery? >> that's right. you know what, i don't want to call the. >> a sucker, but, you know, you're right. you said it. this is the second time around. yeah, he opened up a joint account for whatever reason after she broke up with him the first time. i think that he's just angry. he's an exec, a young guy in new york city and he's going to make
