good morning, america. new overnight. "kill them all." the shocking revelation from murder suspect robert durst. >> killed them all, of course. >> the millionaire long suspected of killing his wife and best friend appeared to have confessed while filming a documentary when he thought the cameras weren't rolling. now under arrest. the filmmaker is here live only on gma. wild weather from coast to coast, causing flooding in the midwest. roads from kentucky to ohio under water, while a storm is packing a punch out west. this structure this structure crashing to the ground. cars crushed by trees. our extreme weather team tracking it all. whoa! >> whoa. >> hold on. >> drag racing disaster.
7:01 am
this car snaps in half, breaking into pieces at nearly 300 miles an hour but the driver miraculously walks away unharmed. speaking out about how he survived that harrowing crash. and fashion feud. the pop star versus a top design duo. elton john taking on dolce and gabbana. and what the men who have dressed a-listers said about children conceived by ivf that have so many promising to boycott right now. and we do say good morning, america. hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. and boy, do we have a lot to get to this morning. we want to get to that breaking news overnight. the latest, strangest twist in the bizarre story of robert durst, the estranged son of one of new york's real estate families who has been suspected of three murders dating back 30 years.
7:02 am
>> that's right, he was finally arrested in new orleans saturday charged with murder. with the help of the hbo documentary "the jinx." what a stunning finale last night. abc's ryan smith has the latest. good morning, ryan. >> good morning, george. for years police investigated robert durst in the murder of his longtime friend but now in the documentary about him, "the jinx," durst may have jinxed himself with what appears to be a confession. >> there it is. >> reporter: overnight, a dramatic moment captured when robert durst long suspected in three murders apparently thought the cameras weren't rolling. >> killed them all, of course. >> reporter: this shocking finale of hbo's documentary series "the jinx" airing in the midst of a bombshell off camera, too. the eccentric new york real estate heir arrested for the 2000 shooting death of his friend, susan berman. abc news learning that the 71-year-old was apprehended at this new orleans hotel
7:03 am
on saturday where he was registered under a fake name. he paid in cash and was in possession of fake documents. the fbi thinks he may have been trying to flee to cuba. this morning the lapd is crediting additional evidence that has come to light in the past year. and no doubt, "the jinx" provided some of those incriminating clues. >> did not tell the whole truth. nobody tells the whole truth. >> reporter: this six-part series profiling not just berman's death but also the unsolved disappearance of his first wife kathy in 1982 and the death of his neighbor in texas in 2001. durst acquitted after claiming self-defense. durst sat down for hours of interviews for the documentary adamantly denying he killed anyone. it was two years after the taping that the director realized durst had made the off-camera comments, killed them all. but the real smoking gun, some
7:04 am
say, this never-before-seen letter given to "the jinx" producers by berman's stepson who says durst sent it to her a year before her death. even durst admitting it is similar to a note sent to police when berman died telling them where to find the body. >> same misspelling. the writing looks similar and the spelling is the same. >> reporter: it wasn't until the cameras stopped rolling that he appeared to crack. durst officially denies killing berman but authorities have long believed he had a motive. allegedly wanting to silence her about the disappearance of his wife. this morning even durst's long-estranged brother who runs the family's multibillion-dollar real estate empire telling abc news we hope he will finally be held accountable for all he has done. durst appeared briefly in court sunday and was ordered held without bond. his lawyer says he will agree to go to los angeles to face charges. as for why he was in new orleans
7:05 am
with fake documents his lawyer says he wasn't running but rather seeking privacy. >> so many questions. let's bring some of them to dan abrams right now. first thing you say is wow. >> this doesn't happen in real life, right? the idea that you're doing a documentary and then at the end of the documentary you get what sounds like a confession. >> off camera. >> off camera to an unsolved case involving a high-profile guy. i mean, you know, you wouldn't believe this if it were a fictionalized movie. >> the legal question coming up right now, will that apparent confession be admissible in court? >> i think it's likely. the only legal question will be sort of the sanctity of that tape. meaning, where was it? who had control of it? is it accurate? those are the sorts of questions that will be asked. there's no doubt that his defense team will try to get it excluded from evidence but i think it will be tough. remember, you're in the middle of doing a tv interview. it's not like you have an expectation of privacy there. >> the timeline is going to be key, when was this tape
7:06 am
discovered and when was it turned over to authorities? >> because the defense is going to want to put both on trial and want to put the police on trial and basically they want to try to create the scenario where together they worked, right, that this idea that the police in conjunction with jarecki and his team worked to bring down robert durst and they're going to challenge the timing of when things came out. oh, my goodness, he gets arrested the day above the finale of the hbo documentary. so those are the sorts of questions you're going to hear, not just from the public but from the defense. >> and we're going to pose some of the questions to andrew jarecki in the next half hour. one thing that could be raised by the tape is durst clearly uncomfortable. seems to be talking to himself. could this lay the groundwork for an insanity defense? >> it could. i think he's going to say is the same sorts of things like before. come on, i was testing them. of course i knew i was still miked up.
7:07 am
i knew that. you know, i didn't mean any of it. i was just saying it to see how they would respond, or something like that. i mean, that's what i would expect, not an insanity defense. >> okay, dan abrams, thank you so much. andrew jarecki here in the next half-hour. >> we want to hear what he has to say. now to the wild weather all over the country. record heat and flooding along the ohio river. look at these pictures from an amusement park in cincinnati. the water slides surrounded by water and a lake where the parking lot was. >> reporter: they're cleaning the remnants of a huge scaffolding that came blowing down off that building yesterday. two inches of rain yesterday. trees down and mud slides. a wild day of weather. heavy winds in downtown portland strong gusts leaving this construction scaffolding swaying precariously out over the street.
7:08 am
before sending it crashing down in pieces to the pavement below. fortunately no one was hurt. >> oh my god! >> less than a mile away one woman had to be rescued after this tree completely uprooted slamming down on to her car and trapping her inside. >> i heard the snap and i looked over in the park i saw the tree started to fall and the red car come and they met. >> reporter: this cell phone video capturing it. firefighters arriving on the scene shortly after are able to free the woman and transport her to a nearby hospital. fortunately that woman is doing okay. they'll be cleaning up though throughout this area all day long. you can see the scaffolding they're picking up a huge chunk of downtown portland is blocked
7:09 am
off. fortunately also the weather for today is predicted to be nearly 70 and sunny. ginger snp. >> neal, thank you. we're also covering the pacific northwest. the third day of record highs in southern california. today it's still very toasty. look at the high in l.a. 89 two degrees short of a record. palm springs will be 93. yuma is quite warm. phoenix, too. now that heat is pushing to the east we could see record-breaking temps in denver kansas city omaha, nebraska, but look at chicago, at 73 they'll drop off after that. the other big headline rain rain that already fell and the ohio river, flooding in some places. this is from cincinnati where you can see some areas closed. the stairs covered in water there because of that melt and on top of that the rain the
7:10 am
high river levels will stay that way for couple of days. we'll be back with more. george? >> ginger, thanks very much. we're going to move to ferguson now where a suspect is in custody in the shooting of two police officers during a protest last week. police say ferguson residents helped them track the gunman down and abc's steve osunsami has the latest in clayton, missouri. good morning, steve. >> reporter: families were calling that information in. the accused gunman who's being held here was already wanted at the time of the shooting for failing to meet with his probation officer. this morning, missouri police say that this is the young man who gunned down two of their own. 20-year-old jeffrey williams accused of shooting two officers who were just doing their jobs outside ferguson police headquarters thursday. >> he is now charged with two counts of assault. in the first degree. >> reporter: the prosecutor here
7:11 am
said they recovered a gun that belongs to williams and he says it's a match. >> the weapon recovered certainly matches the shell casings that were recovered at the scene. >> reporter: police say williams admits he fired his gun from a vehicle nearby but they also say he's claiming that he wasn't aiming at police. he was instead firing at someone on the street following a disagreement earlier in the evening. >> regardless of who may be an intended target, you hit somebody, that's still a class a felony and still punishable by life in prison. >> shots fired, officer down. >> reporter: the two officers are home recovering with their families but they could have been killed. one was shot in the face. the bullet lodged near his ear. the other shot in the shoulder with the bullet exiting his back. u.s. attorney general eric holder whose scathing review of the ferguson police work last week led to the protest that night had some choice words for the accused shooter. >> this was a damn punk, punk, who was trying to sow discord in
7:12 am
an area that's trying to get its act together. >> reporter: in november, ferguson burned after the same prosecutor announced there would be no criminal charges against officer darren wilson for the summer shooting death of michael brown. williams is being held on a $300,000 cash bond. he is has not yet entered a plea. just about anyone connected to the movement here has distanced themselves from this alleged violence. robin. >> thank you. overseas to breaking news. a big mystery solved. russian president vladimir putin appearing in public just moments ago. this is the first time in ten days. his absence raised serious questions and abc's martha raddatz is in washington with the latest on all this. good morning. >> good morning. all eyes were on st. petersburg, russia, this morning where putin has finally been spotted in a meeting with the president of kyrgyzstan. the rumor mill had been swirling. this is not a man whoever shies away from the spotlight.
7:13 am
he rides horseback bare-chested, poses with tigers. to not be seen in ten days was highly unusual. was he ill? was he dead? did he have a new baby? there was even a website with the clock updating down to the second how long he had been out of sight. the kremlin denied anything wrong saying he is as strong as ever and putin said this morning as to those rumors of his disappearance it would be boring without gossip. george. >> that's for sure. okay, martha, thanks very much. we're going to turn to politics and more fallout from the hillary clinton e-mail controversy. john boehner is announcing a new investigation into clinton's new use of private e-mails. abc's jon karl is at the white house. this would be separate from the special committee already investigating the attack in benghazi. >> this would be a separate investigation conducted by a separate committee looking specifically into her unusual e-mail practices as secretary of state and it would almost certainly mean a protracted legal battle over access to the
7:14 am
server she had in her house where she ran her e-mails. she has made it clear that she does not believe the government has a right to that. republicans will push for access. and george this will also likely mean that she will be asked to testify not once, but twice before congress, once on the e-mails, a second time on benghazi, in other words, you could have more appearances before congress from her during her primary campaign than you have presidential debates. >> it's going on for some time and the president already making jokes about it over the weekend. >> he joked he used to be seen as the tech-savvy candidate in 2008 and he said hillary has a server in your house, i didn't know you could have one of those. he joked if he would have known that he would have gotten one himself. let's go to amy with the top stories. a big manhunt overnight. >> that's right, the search is on for the gunman who shot two police officers driving through a south los angeles neighborhood.
7:15 am
the plainclothed officers were inside an unmarked car. this may have been a targeted attack they believe. the officers returned fire but it's unclear if the suspects were hit. nearby resident were told to stay indoors and the officers have been treated for the injuries. new images this morning revealed the devastation what's been called the monster cyclone that slammed into the south pacific island nation of vanuatu. 90% of the buildings in the capital are damaged, destroyed. aerial photos show entire neighborhoods blown away by those winds, topping 185 miles per hour. aid is just starting to arrive. the president says his nation is being forced to, quote, start over. well, three more americans who may have been exposed to ebola are due back in the u.s. today. seven of their fellow aid workers returned over the weekend. they have not shown any symptoms but they all worked with a colleague who contracted the virus in sierra leone. that individual is being treat

at the national institutes of health in maryland. and the others quarantined for 21 days. a risky rescue in hawaii. a hiker fell and tumbled 200 feet down a steep mountain trail in oahu. rescuers flew him off the mountain tethered to a helicopter. the man fell while trying to retrieve a backpack. he's in serious but stable condition. and two stunt teams have withdrawn from an air show in asia after this stunning crash. caught on camera. two planes collided during a rehearsal. their wings clipping each other, one of the planes catching fire. but the pilots managed to eject in time and were not injured. and a far different sight in the sky overnight. cameras captured what's believed to be a meteor streaking over europe, it was seen from germany to switzerland and austria. and take a look at this sight. a classic prank that's gone epic now. here's what a prankster did. this is roman atwood's job. he did toit to a friend of his,
7:17 am
howie handel's house. engulfing his house in toilet paper. he had a truckload delivered to make sure it was done correctly. howie was not very amused. the bleeps, he had a few choice words. but when the prankster was revealed howie did give into laughter, that was a fairly epic -- we used to call it rolling in georgia. we'd go rolling. >> you did some rolling? >> i did some rolling before in my life. >> oh, a confession. >> we got another confession. a morning for that. >> my parents called it teepeeing. >> that's what we call it. >> you guys are so hard core. we threw toilet paper, wow. a bunch of kids. >> hey. >> all right. t.j., play nice. >> i can't tell you what i was doing as a kid. >> it's okay. >> good, clean fun. now to ginger and boston finally getting the record. not what they wanted. >> t.j., it gets crazy when you add eggs.

hi good morning, america. right now, suspected murderer robert durst is in court this morning after being arrested for killing his best friend. also right now, the driver of this dragster speaks out about how he survived. and elton john and other a-list celebrities promising to boycott fashion house dolce & gabbana about children conceived by ivf. and much ahead including the surprising secret that could help you win big in your march madness pool. we're here to help you. t.j. is going to bring us that. >> it is a scientifically proven method to win your pool. it will only cost you 25 cents. i'll have you that. >> thank you, t.j. but we'll begin with more on robert durst, he's in court
7:31 am
this morning after his arrest saturday for killing his friend susan berman in 2000. durst has been suspected in three killings dating back more than 30 years and the cold case was brought back to life by the hbo documentary "the jinx," which ended last night with this stunning off-camera confession. >> here it is. you're right, of course. but you can't imagine. arrest him. what the hell did i do? killed them all, of course. >> and we are joined now by the filmmaker andrew jarecki. welcome back. you were here a few weeks ago.
7:32 am
you said it would be clear at the end of six episodes. i guess you were right. >> i tried to be. >> so, let's walk through this because there's a lot of questions being raised about the timeline in this tape. that interview with robert durst was three years ago? >> about three years ago, yeah. we interviewed him twice and the first time right around the time the original movie came out and it took us another year and a half to get him for the follow up interview. we showed him the evidence. >> you showed him the evidence and of course, it was the handwriting that seemed to stun him and he goes into the bathroom. and you didn't discover what was on tape in the bathroom for more than two years? >> yeah. >> how is that possible? >> well, the fact is, it's a small documentary crew and we were all working very hard and it wasn't until later when we brought on some more editors and we actually had the time to go through the material and we said to one of the editors go through all the old material that just has audio because the only time you look at stuff is if it has video and audio. because you're making a film.
7:33 am
one of the editors came back and said i think i found something. >> what did you do when you heard it? >> i sat there in the edit room with my partners and we sort of shook our heads. it took a while to understand the impact of it. it was just so chilling to hear it. it was disturbing to hear it and it was disturbing to hear it and it makes you very uncomfortable to hear it. >> once you hear it you have both a legal and moral obligation to go to the authorities, when did that happen? >> well, we talked about it with our legal advisers and said, look, if we go to the authorities now, we're missing the opportunity for us to actually get the real story from him and it may take years for them to do that. because truth is, as filmmakers we have the freedom to do things that law enforcement authorities wouldn't have. but at the same time we didn't want to hold it back if it was going to take forever. all we could do is to get him into the chair which took a lot of work. then when we had his reaction that was when we felt the time
7:34 am
was right for us to show that to them and that was many, many months ago. >> you're talking about the letters there. >> sure. >> what about the audio of him in the bathroom? >> well, we have been in contact with law enforcement for the past two years. and so, when we finally found that subsequent admission, what happens in the bathroom, we contacted them and said we have something more. >> you have already heard robert durst's attorney talking to the l.a. times overnight saying this is not a coincidence here. what happens is that durst gets arrested on the eve of the finale. you know, kind of a ratings player. were there any kinds of deals over the timing of the arrest? >> of course not. we don't have that kind of power and we're not in charge of the arrest timing. and we had no idea of the arrest timing. i was very nervous about it and on the phone with our law enforcement about 4:00 in the morning two nights before and i was saying i'm uncomfortable and i have security, i've never had security in my life. my family is uncomfortable and i feel that this arrest should be made but i understand you need to do what you need to do. but tell me where we are.
7:35 am
and i didn't get any color on it. >> so, you interviewed durst three years ago. he must know the noose is starting to tighten around him. after that interview, he was clearly comfortable. did he try to contact you? >> he never calls me the day after the interview. usually he just goes away and tells me he's in madrid. he goes away, disappears. we talk again a few weeks later. in this particular case, he called me the day after the interview, after i showed him that envelope and he acted as if it was no big deal. he called me the next day and said i have three or four things to talk to you about. i knew the first thing was going to be nothing and nothing and the third thing was going to be him checking in with me about whether i thought that admission was important. >> so he knew something was coming which is why he may have been trying to escape? >> but i will say i don't know that he even told his lawyers about the second interview because they didn't attend. that was his choice. his lawyer came to the first interview and then a couple years later he decides to do a
7:36 am
second interview and here's there freelancing by himself. >> just an incredible story. andrew jarecki, thank you very much. over to robin. now to that amazing sight at the racetrack. look at this speeding dragster actually split right in two and it goes airborne as you can see. the drive walked away and is now telling his survival story. >> reporter: this morning an investigation into what caused this jaw-dropping racing accident. >> whoa! >> whoa! >> hold on! >> reporter: a dragster snapping in half and breaking into pieces at almost 300 miles per hour at a national hot rod association race in florida. miraculously driver larry dixon walks away unhurt. >> i got maybe 100 feet before the finish line and that's when the front end failed. you know, it flew off the car and i'm traveling through the air and hoping that i stay on the racetrack when i finally come down. >> reporter: take a look again
7:37 am
as the 2,000-plus-pound car breaks into pieces. that's the front buckling and flying off. dixon inside the cockpit launched more than 20 feet into the air and then smashing into the concrete wall. >> every once in a while bad things can happen but i have all the faith in my equipment. >> reporter: the champion driver survived a nearly-identical accident in 2000. on a memphis track. >> oh, there goes dixon. >> reporter: dixon was seriously hurt in that accident. so, what was different this time? he says important safety improvements. >> i feel safer in that race car than i do driving to the racetrack. because of my head and neck restraint, because of my helmet, because of the cage that i'm surrounded in. so, when you do have a bad day at the office, you can dust yourself off and get back in again. >> reporter: for "good morning america" mara schiavacampo, abc news, new york. now to the weather.
