from bel air to the ballroom, it was the dance that america has been waiting for since "dancing" kicked off the season. alfonso bringing back the carlton. not unusual, just sensational. this morning he says hi he waited until now. ♪ to find that i'm in love with you ♪ we know you're smiling just like we are after seeing that. he told us. alfonso said he would break out the carlton at some point in the season. last night was the night. >> right when he needed it, four perfect 10s. he inspired michael this morning. [ laughter ] >> it never gets old. >> no, it doesn't. >> it never gets old. i love it. a lot more of that coming up. let's start with severe storms. large hail, strong winds, over 60 miles an hour, moving fast. ginger tracking it all. >> and this right here shows you exactly what was happening. this is mississippi. that is not snow. that you're seeing behind me. that is a backyard full of hail. so that's a warm weather

phenomenon. but thunderstorms ahead of that cold front popping up. more than 70 reports from the deep south to the midsouth. texas to ohio. severe storms blasting backyards. in kentucky, hail up to two inches. in some spots, enough to fill buckets. stripping branches. debris flying through the air. from golf ball-sized. to too dense to drive. storms giving a beautifully dangerous light show in little rock. near houston, winds up to 50 miles per hour knocking out power to thousands. trees toppling, killing the driver of this suv. an energetic day in the atmosphere from kentucky to tennessee down into parts of mississippi, alabama. but the elevated risk is actually in place for atlantic city, new york city, all of long

island, up to providence, rhode island. so an area that we don't see, especially that often getting this could see some strong winds. certainly some hail. and even the chance of a brief tornado. we have much more coming up on this in the nation's weather. robin and george, back to you. >> all right, ginger, thank you. now to the new developments in the ebola crisis, and the two men fighting the deadly virus in u.s. hospitals. the patient being treated in texas is now receiving an experimental drug. as president obama announces plans to step up passenger screenings both overseas and here in the u.s. abc's cecilia vega has the very latest and joins us from dallas. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. that drug being given to the critically ill man is a real experiment. there's no data to suggest it work on animals yet. in the meantime, his condition is worsening. he's on a ventilator, in dialysis, and now he's not the only person in this country fighting this deadly disease. this morning, two ebola patients fighting for their lives in two

american cities. in nebraska, the latest american to arrive from africa for treatment on u.s. soil. video journalist ashoka mukpo landing in omaha monday morning, wearing a hazmat suit as he walked off the plane and headed to a quarantine unit. his family saying he may have contracted the deadly virus in liberia when he was helping to disinfect a car someone had died in. >> he looked strong. walked off the plane, gingerly waved at us. he was tentative and frightened. >> reporter: now two nurses by mukpo's side at all times. his vital signing taken around the clock. whether he will get experimental drugs still unknown. the cdc says the drug given to american aid workers dr. kent brantley and nancy writebol has run out. >> i begged him, don't go, but there was nothing to do. he was determined. >> reporter: in dallas,

doctors saying they started administering an experimental ebola-fighting drug over the weekend to thomas eric duncan after his condition worsened. the drug has never been tested on humans until now. >> theoretically it may make a difference. but it's still experimental medicine. >> reporter: and this morning, another diagnosis. the first person in this growing outbreak to contract the disease outside of west africa. a spanish nurse in a hospital near madrid who treated a missionary who died from ebola is now a patient herself. highlighting the danger of the disease spreading not only in poorly equipped west african clinics, but more sophisticated hospitals. this as officials here hope to temper fears and keep the virus contained. >> we don't have an outbreak. we have one event that's being handled properly. >> reporter: and the hospital workers here who treated thomas duncan are being monitored

closely. same for a handful of other people that has close contact with him. good news is no sign of symptoms for any of them. >> thank goodness. and now the war on isis here at home. a chicago teenager arrested picked up by the fbi before he could board a plane for the middle east to join the terror group. abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has the latest from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. it's becoming a pattern. another u.s. citizen accused of trying to get to syria to join those isis killers. the fbi says this 19-year-old from a small suburb of chicago was trying to join isis at the very moment the radicals were threatening to execute fellow american peter kassig. the family of mohammed khan was in tears as they left federal court on monday. khan had just been charged with providing support to terrorists. he was arrested saturday night at o'hare airport, trying to board to austria with a connecting flight to turkey. from there, he was to be smuggled into syria to join

isis. finding home-grown radicals is a top priority for the fbi. the extremists can be people supporting jihadists overseas. or those plotting right here at home. >> and as the boston bombings illustrate, we face a continuing threat from homegrown extremists. some call them lone wolves. i think that gives them too much dignity. it's a term i resist. i think of them as lone rats. >> reporter: it is clear that isis is using the internet to effectively recruit inside the u.s. according to the charges, khan met online an overseas operative who was trying to get him to syria. authorities say when they searched his home, they found a three-page letter laying out his hatred. he wrote -- western societies are getting more immoral day by day, producing what he called filth. the fbi said more than 100 americans have gone or tried to go to syria. the government is cracking down. if convicted, this young man faces up to 15 years in prison.

george? >> thanks very much. let's go to amy with the other top stories. good morning. and we begin with a bombshell on wall street. employees at several big banks could be facing criminal charges. this morning "the new york times" reports the government is planning to investigate these top financial institutions for their alleged roles in a scheme to manipulate the currency mark and make money off changes. and more big changes at veterans hospitals. the v.a. faired four senior executives, among them, the director of the pittsburgh v.a. hospital where six patients died from legionnaires' disease. and both sides of the gay marriage debate are now asking, what's next? monday's decision by the supreme court rejecting appeals of states trying to ban gay marriage will settle the issue in 30 states. that means nearly two-thirds of same-sex couples in the u.s. will soon be allowed to marry. but for now, the issue remains

unsettled in the rest of the country. caught on surveillance camera in miami. a speeding car crashes into this outdoor restaurant. dazed customers scrambling out of the wreckage. ten people were injured. the driver said he simply lost control. and watch this from louisiana. a truck hauling a crane gets stuck on the tracks and is slammed by a train. look at that. that couldn't stop in time. 19 train cars derailed. two people suffered minor injuries. the truck driver had jumped to safety in the nick of time. olympic star michael phelps has been suspended from swimming for six months following his latest dui arrest. he will also lose funding from the usa swimming organization until april. phelps is entering a treatment program. and finally, a top honor for the leader of our team. robin has accepted the walter cronkite award for outstanding journalism and counsel.

in true robin fashion, she spoke about the importance of family and the role of her sister, herself a long-time broadcaster, and how she played in her success. >> she allowed me to tag along with her at the station and ask stupid questions and not make me feel that i was stupid. and give me the desire and the hope and the belief that i could do what i am doing now. and then to be my bone marrow donor, to give me life. is just the most amazing thing that i could ever express to you in saying thank you. and i know you give all praise -- >> and then another tribute to robin. a standing ovation from the crowd. so, robin, i'm giving you one too this morning. thank you. >> that's very sweet. don't get up, george. really. stay seated, george. i'm kidding. i'm kidding with you. thank you very much for that. it was wonderful having my sister there. tom, our former e.p., john walsh from espn.

and just an honor to follow in the footsteps of so many. diane sawyer won that award. a few years ago. so -- >> congratulations. >> well deserved. >> i must say, sitting here next to you every day is like being in a master's class. >> oh, bless your heart. >> you're amazing and congratulations. >> and you even stood up, too, thank you. you know we have to give him a hard time. >> even if i stood up i wouldn't be taller than you. [ laughter ] >> bless your heart. as we say down south, bless your pea-picking heart. all right. we move on now to new problems for pro football. this time it involves fans in the stands. the buffalo bills complaining to nfl security officials that someone pointed a laser at their players during sunday's game against the lions in detroit. mara schiavocampo has the story. >> reporter: robin, good morning. lasers can be dangerous. capable of causing permanent damage if shined directly into the eyes. they can be distracting as two buffalo bills players recently

found out. there's more to this 50-yard misfire than meets the eye. >> no! >> reporter: watch again. this time, look at bills' holder colton schmidt. that green light, a laser. and schmidt saying that light caused the kicker to miss a field goal attempt during sunday's game against the detroit lions. now, take a look at bills' quarterback kyle orton after this blown pass. appealing to the ref, pointing to his eyes. this morning, both players claiming someone in the stands was directly targeted them with a laser. >> we reported it. security -- nfl security did a good job. but he was all fired up. >> reporter: in a statement, the nfl says we are investigating the matter after the bills filed a complaint over what athletes are saying is a blinding distraction. how important is it to be able to see clearly and to have that precision? >> i think it's very important. vision is really everything.

you have to be -- to hit a target, you have to be looking tat. so if you're being distracted, it would definitely affect your ability to compete. >> reporter: and we learned that a fan with a laser pointer can be anywhere in the stands. it can travel far. we set up a test. this light is shining from an entire football field away. though lasers have been banned since 1998 at all nfl stadiums, incidents like this continue to happen. unsportsmanlike conduct that could hurt the sport. >> we don't want to see fans having a direct impact on the game, in terms of them shining lights in people's eyes. powerful lights in people's eyes, and stopping them from doing their job on the field. >> reporter: luckily for the bills, this last-minute, 58-yard kick was laser-free, and laser sharp, winning the game. that laser fan has not been found. i have one of the lasers here with me. as you can see, they're very small.

easy to sneak in and out of a stadium. robin? >> yeah, and a good reason why they've been banned. other than this, michael, this is one instance, do you realize what fans are doing? can they be a distraction? >> oh, yeah. i mean, we've had games where they're throwing snowballs, with ice inside. different things like -- yeah, you definitely recognize that. it's one thing to be cheered or to get booed. but when you do something like that, it totally throws you off the game. >> and as players you don't want any help like that. >> no. we don't want to -- well, some guys would like to help you drink your beer. but we don't do that either. so don't affect the field, we won't affect your opportunity as a fan to enjoy the game. at the end of the day, hope your team is good enough to win without your interference. >> well put. >> so hard to police, too. man. we're going to turn to a new study on hands-free technology. we know not to text and drive. but this study shows that the devices designed to keep our hands on the wheel and eyes on the road may also be distracting us. abc's paula faris has the story.

>> reporter: it's the hands-free technology to keep you focused on driving. >> call home. >> calling. >> reporter: but a new aaa report out this morning claims that these types of products, offered by a variety of carmakers, may actually increase drivers' mental distraction. >> some of these voice-based technologies are stealing attention from the driver so they're not paying attention to the road. >> reporter: researchers from the university of utah tested voice-activated systems in vehicles from six different automakers. reviewing two of the most popular commands. first, changing the music. >> play cd. >> tuning to a.m. 850. >> oh, heavens. >> reporter: and the second -- voice dialing. >> call john doe. >> calling donna toil at home. >> reporter: researchers found the less accurate the system, the more distracted the driver. on a five-point scale among the brands they tested, toyota's was the least distracting, earning the lowest cognitive distraction score of 1.7. about the same level of

mental distraction as listening to a book on tape. >> whatever i would say, it got it right the first time. >> reporter: as for the most distracting among those tested, aaa says that researchers found that in chevrolet systems. chevrolet telling abc news the singular study by aaa looks at cognitive functioning with no correlation to increased crash risk. for "good morning america," paula faris, abc news, new york. >> just concentrate on the driving. >> that's right. boy, you have some story here, michael. >> a dramatic story. a dramatic rescue caught on camera. crews racing to save a paraglider who crashed into a cliffside in san diego. stuck there and holding on for life. abc's linsey davis has the story. >> reporter: take a look at this dramatic video. watch this paraglider dangling off a california cliff, clinging on for his life. >> i saw and heard the thud. and he hit kind of a sheer face wall.

>> reporter: the 47-year-old man crashed into the bluffs just after 3:00 sunday afternoon. >> he slid probably 10 or 15 feet down onto a small ledge. and he stayed on that ledge for quite awhile. he wasn't saying any words. it was just yelling and screaming. >> reporter: officials raced to the scene. worried the wind would pick up and carry the man away, still attached to his glider. >> that's always a risk. because if the wind picks up, it can move the paraglider, which then would move the patient, and we don't want that to happen. >> reporter: san diego fire and rescue used in helicopter to reach the glider. watch as a rescuer drops down a pulley, attaching the injured man to a rescue bag, air-lifting him to safety. the adventurer taken to the hospital, complaining of back and hip pain. but this morning, the onlookers thankful he landed on the small ledge. >> if he was higher up or just a little bit lower than what he

was a, he would have gone down. >> reporter: for "good morning america," linsey davis, abc news, new york. >> that's scary. lucky he slid down and landed on the shelf and he could rest and wait for help. >> all's okay. michael, thanks. now to the tropical system in the pacific, set to bring heavy rain and flooding to the southwest. we have all this. >> we have been talking. this is like a record. just over and over in the southwest. and i have to show you when and how it's going to happen. now we're watching what's left of simon go over baja through the day. and for them, it will be more like eight inches of rain. but up in the southwest, especially parts of arizona, a plume of moisture we're watching. when you see this, by the way, and you see two plus inches in the red area, it does not mean that every single person under the red gets two inches. it means storms within there could produce two-inch-plus rainfall rates. it's very hot, also. more than 20 degrees above average in some places. oklahoma city could tie a record today at 94.

good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco with the forecast. high clouds and sun. 11 o'clock is when the low clouds are back to the coast. gradual cooling. still looking at above average highs even to the coast. coast is cloudy with low 70's in san francisco and upper 70's around the bay. mid-80's in the south bay. 90's, still holding on again inland. the seven-day forecast shows coolest

>> i love how when we were in north florida it was almost tying a record. jacksonville today going to 85. very nice for you. >> i wasn't here. what exactly did you do yesterday? >> bungee ziplining. >> i thought that's what i saw. >> i want to do a flip next time. so -- >> oh! >> on to the next time. >> next time, oh. she loves that adventure. thanks, ginger. >> thank you. coming up, a new investigation into the mysterious death of a young florida mom. why her family thinks her boyfriend, a sheriff's deputy, killed her. how did a bear end up right in the middle of new york city?

now new research that may explain your cravings, and why it may be genetic. all right, and then, is jesus hollywood's biggest star? another movie about to be made about his life. why it's already getting so much heat. >> that one coming from bill o'reilly. we begin with one family's crusade to prove that a young florida mom, michelle mcconnell, was originally murdered. it was originally a suicide. but they believe that her boyfriend, a sheriff's deputy, killed her. abc's matt gutman is following the case. >> reporter: jeremy banks was a sheriff's deputy when he made frantic 911 call back in 2010. >> please, i think my girlfriend shot herself, there's blood all over the place. >> reporter: and today, he's still a deputy in st. john's county, florida, despite persistent allegations from her family and friends that michelle o'connell's death may not have been a suicide but a homicide. >> the facts of the case did not support suicide. >> reporter: now after four years, a huge development. florida governor rick scott appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the case.

this just one month after a bombshell accusation. in a police affidavit, bar owner danny harmon saying banks came to his bar the night after o'connell's death, making some unsettling remarks. >> he wasn't going to let that b word hold him back anymore. >> reporter: banks' attorney denies his client every spoke to harmon. >> my client was nowhere near that place. >> reporter: a front line and "new york times" investigation alleges that a secondary wound on o'connell's face was inconsistent with suicide, because she would have had to have held the gun upside down. >> you held it upside down, what happened to you? >> i set up the shot to fire it. at discharge, to fire it, the slide became back and -- oh, dang it, that hurt. >> reporter: the o'connell family claiming it was a conflict of interest for banks' sheriff's office colleagues to investigate o'connell's death. >> normally, they wouldn't

investigate their own body. >> we thank you all for being here with us. >> reporter: on monday, a vigil for o'connell. another big reason friends say o'connell wouldn't have committed suicide, her then 4-year-old daughter, alexis. >> she has days where she just reaches up to the sky and cries and begs for her mom. >> reporter: no one has been arrested in the case. and the sheriff's office stands by its investigation. we tried to reach out to banks and his attorney. they said they are not fearful of any investigation. they say from the start this has been an open and shut case. well, it's certainly open again, george? >> okay, matt, thank you. let's bring in dan abrams with more. the sheriff's office standing by the investigation. but there were a lot of problems with it. >> there was no question they too quickly determined it was a suicide. they may have decided that at a later point. but they didn't collect evidence in the way that they should have to at least better rule out the possibility of a homicide. >> what kind of things could they have looked more closely at? >> they could have collected more evidence.

they could have interviewed more witnesses. i mean, look, there are a number of things that have come forward that are really important. number one, two different neighbors say that they heard screams that night. he says there was no fight. if there were screams, that's a big problem for him. number two, and you heard this in matt's piece, she was right-handed. and it seems that the gun would have had to have been fired with her left hand to commit suicide in a very awkward way. finally, there was a cut on her eye. initially, authorities say there was no evidence of a struggle, et cetera, but there was a cut on her eye that it now seems may have occurred before her death. not as a result of the gun, et cetera. so those are all very important pieces of evidence that should have been better investigated, better ruled out right at the outset. >> but even with those pieces of evidence, this is not an easy prosecution. >> in particular because they didn't treat it like a homicide at the outset. let's even assume that someone believes all those pieces of

evidence, you still have the problem that early on, evidence wasn't collected in a way that suggested a homicide. evidence was lost as a result. and so even if someone comes in and now thinks that a prosecution should happen, it's going to be a tough case. >> all right, dan, thank you very much. and now the mystery right in the middle of new york city. a baby bear found dead in central park. now the question everyone wants answered, how did the cub get there? abc's gio benitez has that story for us. >> reporter: a mystery in one of the nation's most beloved parks. right there in the middle of manhattan's central park, police investigating a body. and the victim, unusual even for new york city. >> i was walking out of the park with a friend of mine. we go to the park with the dogs. her dog spotted something. >> reporter: that something, a three-foot-tall black bear cub. that's right. a female bear in central park. the city oasis is home to all kinds of animals like bats, birds, and squirrels. but bears haven't been seen here

in 400 years. >> we're nearing the hibernation period. bears in some areas where they're not finding the normal amounts of food would expand their range. >> reporter: across the country, bears everywhere, from swimming pools to golf courses. >> look at him. >> reporter: out in force before winter hibernation. but a bear in the big city? how did it get there? that's the mystery. no local zoos are reporting a missing bear. and state laws prohibit them as pets. and the nearest bear-friendly areas are an hour away, across the river in new jersey, or 50 miles north in upstate new york. >> i didn't know what it was. then i thought it was a big dog, the head of a dog that was obviously dead. >> reporter: this morning, authorities are on the case. investigating just what happened to that little cub. for now, how it was killed and who was behind it remain a mystery. for "good morning america," gio benitez, abc news, new york. >> and hopefully we'll get some answers. very strange one. time again for the weather.

and the rain is a coming, isn't it? >> this is not strange. but this is something to prepare for. let me take you through the timing of the rain and the thunderstorms, some of them could be severe. the low slips on. and it's here tuesday afternoon, that we stop the clock. western pennsylvania, parts of west virginia. and really the overnight hours once it gets to the coasts. so philadelphia, new york city, you may have some rumblers waking you up early wednesday. something to note. and they could have damaging wind and hail. then behind it, another reinforcing shot of cold air. plenty of it. wakeup temperatures in the 30s for minneapolis. traverse city. detroit there by the end of the week and the start of the >> whom, high clouds and sun away from the coast are we will have unlimited sun. heat fades from low 60's at the coast to mid-90's inland. the seven-day forecast shows the heat runs >> all that weather brought to you by mastercard.
