7:01 am
big led by the comeback kid, kevin ware returning from a devastating injury and taking his team to new heights. the surprise ending that knocked even the coach off, well, his chair. and we do say good morning, america. and happy friday and certainly a happy friday for georgia state. >> i'll say, what a comeback in those final minutes. >> ron hunter, the coach, you know, he ripped his achilles in the previous game but that was his son, his son hitting the game-winner for the big upset. >> three-pointer. >> uh-huh. we're going to have more on that later but take a look at this, right now, a rare solar eclipse this morning. this is the faroe islands, completely dark as the moon
7:02 am
blocks the sun. also a partial eclipse in europe, russia and north africa. >> we'll begin with something not rare this winter, little more snow. let's look at maryland right now. there it is, up to half a foot expected in some areas. ginger tracking it all. >> it's still winter for a couple more hours, we're going to officially start spring at on 6:45 p.m. eastern time. and i've got pictures of snow to share with you. yes, just west of baltimore, north and west of washington, d.c., it's already sticking on the roads and certainly the grass and trees there. so here's what you can expect. anywhere from parts of west virginia up through pennsylvania already snowing, right? but it's going to move to the north and east, and that's why we have winter weather advisories. as far north as connecticut. let me time it out for you. we start there. d.c. mixing in. philadelphia will get snow but changes to rain. the heaviest snow is going to fall in the later afternoon and evening from new york city up through southern connecticut and into the cape. so, i think boston will miss out on a majority of the storm and all of us will say good-bye to it after midnight.
7:03 am
a quick look at those snow totals. a lot of us will mix in with rain south of philadelphia. and certainly by tomorrow we'll warm back up and spring will try to kick into gear. >> we look forward to that. all right, ginger, thank you. but now to that mystery in mississippi, a black man found dead haning from a tree and this morning the fbi is trying to determine if he was killed or committed suicide. abc's pierre thomas is in washington with the latest. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it's a mystery down south that evokes some of the haunting searing images of the past, a black man hanging from a tree in mississippi. this morning, fbi in mississippi state officials scouring a horrific scene, a body hanging from a tree with a white sheet around the neck had been discovered 500 yards from the home of otis byrd, who had been missing since march 2nd. >> i knew mr. byrd and all his family. i had no dream in this world
7:04 am
that they would found a black man hung in a tree. >> reporter: authorities are still trying to determine the identity of the body but strongly suspect the deceased is byrd, a man they say had a violent past of his own convicted of murdering a white woman in 1980. but authorities are adamant it's too early to know exactly what this is. >> we don't know what happened out there. we don't know if it's a suicide, if it's a homicide. >> reporter: the naacp concerned it might be a hate crime is demanding a full-scale federal investigation. the fbi is launching a preliminary civil rights probe, but the sheriff was trying to calm concerns and urging a shocked community not to speculate. >> there's no proof that this is in retaliation for anything that happened in 1980. there is no evidence pointed towards that so let's not make this out to be something it's not. >> reporter: fbi agents now hunting for any clues that would reveal what happened. authorities say they knew of no threats against byrd but sources say at this point nothing can be ruled out. so many questions, george. >> sure are, pierre. thanks very much. we're going to turn now to those nuclear negotiations with
7:05 am
iran, the clock is ticking, a deadline looming this month, and overnight president obama made an appeal directly to the iranian people urging them to pressure their leaders to accept a deal. abc's jon karl tracking the talks from the white house. they are closing in on a deal but still have gaps. >> reporter: george, they are close, the deal is almost done. the biggest remaining question right now is whether or not the iranian supreme leader, the ayatollah khomeini will go along with it. last night in that appeal the president called the deal an historic opportunity. >> and this moment may not come again soon. i believe that our nations have a historic opportunity to resolve this peacefully an opportunity we should not miss. >> and, jon, you know, the iranians have to agree to it and you have to get all five european countries to agree but the president might have some problems with congress. >> reporter: he sure does. congress is demanding both democrats and republicans, demanding that, whatever deal is struck, congress should have a
7:06 am
chance to vote on it yes or no. in fact, george, 350 members of the house, including a lot of democrats and the top democrat on the international relations committee, wrote a letter to the president yesterday saying that if there is a deal, congress needs to weigh in on whether or not to lift sanctions. >> overwhelming but pushing back on that. jon, thanks very much. much more sunday on "this week." >> look forward to that. now, to the latest on that deadly terrorist attack at the museum. isis is now claiming responsibility for the massacre and warning there will be more like it. abc's alex marquardt is in tunisia with the latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. at least nine people have now been arrested in connection with the attack here at the museum, security has been beefed up around the country as authorities hunt for more suspected members of isis. this morning, a new photo showing one of the attackers appearing to shoot victims point-blank. a chilling claim of responsibility. in an audio recording posted online isis praised its knights
7:07 am
of the caliphate for this chaos that left at least 20 european tourists dead vowing the attack is just the first drop of rain. tunisian officials now say the two gunmen who were armed with grenades and ak-47s left in december to be trained by isis in libya. tunisia's known not just as a popular western tourist destination but now also the foreign country that has sent more foreign fighters to join isis than any other, as many as 3,000. and now they're waging jihad at home. we saw the aftermath, broken glass from a tour bus, bloodstains on the ground. inside, a crime scene. much of the museum where people fled, where they hid, where they were killed, is still cordoned off. when the shooting started everyone ran, one guard hiding for almost 24 hours in the museum's sarcophagus room. this spanish couple, the girlfriend 4 months pregnant also hiding overnight long after
7:08 am
the attack was over. we hid in a room where they kept the trash, he said. we stayed there hearing everything and waiting for it to stop. experts say they fear this is only the beginning of more violence here in tunisia where isis has long called for attacks. the relative peace here may soon be a thing of the past as isis' ideology spreads around the world. george. >> okay, alex, thanks. we're going to get the latest now from the boston marathon bombing trial where the jury was shown crucial evidence friday. these photos the remains of a pressure cooker bomb just like the ones set off at the finish line. tom llamas is covering the trial in boston. good morning. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. for the past two days jurors have pretty much been put through a csi course, learning about fingerprints, computer forensics and bombs, in fact, they're learning a lot about this fuse which the tsarnaev brothers had bunches of to light some of those explosives. as you're about to see, it's not only the jurors playing close attention to the evidence.
7:09 am
in court thursday, prosecutors presenting an anatomy of terror highlighting this image of a pressure cooker bomb embedded into the rear door of a honda civic. the bomb thrown at police, they say, during that shootout in a boston suburb days after the marathon bombing. prosecutors showing it to jurors in court piece by piece, the same type as the bombs they say were used at the finish line of the boston marathon. three people died in those blasts, more than 260 injured including liz norden's two sons, j.p. and paul, who each lost a leg that day. a moment she recounted on "gma" the morning after the bombing. >> it's terrible. it's like i want to wake up and it not be real. >> reporter: her sons were standing just steps from dzhokhar tsarnaev when he planted his backpack, one of those bombs inside and walked off. she's been in court nearly every day since the trial started. >> i want to know what happened to my boys that day.
7:10 am
>> reporter: dzhokhar's lawyer's are fighting for his life saying he was under the spell of his older brother tamerlan something liz doesn't buy. do you think he deserves the death penalty? >> i do. that would be justice for myself as a mom, my two boys were so hurt and so many killed that day and they just didn't have a care in the world. they knew what they were doing. >> reporter: she says her sons have accepted their new lives and challenges but she has not. >> i just can't get over it. it consumes my life. i watch it every day and the pain doesn't go away. >> reporter: prosecutors hope to rest the case next week and the defense takes over. george, this case is moving very fast. >> sure is. thanks very much. to amy now with today's other top stories. got a lot of outrage at uva. that's right. and now martese johnson is talking about that violent encounter with officers appearing at a news conference with his attorney, johnson said he is shocked that his face was slammed into the pavement and the trauma will be with him forever. virginia state police are investigating why johnson ended up pinned to the ground while
7:11 am
being arrested outside a bar by alcohol beverage control agents. he needed ten stitches to close that wound in his head. agents say he was profane and belligerent. student protesters are vowing to stand with johnson, many arguing that race played a role in how he was treated. well, tough talk from the white house this morning aimed at israel. president obama told prime minister benjamin netanyahu over the phone thursday that the u.s. will now, quote, reassess its relationship with israel in the wake of netanyahu's pre-election rhetoric imposing a palestinian state. earlier in the day netanyahu tried to take back his rhetoric saying he supports palestinian statehood if conditions in the region improve. well, a surprising revelation about the ebola outbreak that has claimed more than 10,000 lives in west africa. newly revealed e-mails show the world health organization delayed declaring an ebola emergency for weeks because it was concerned about the political and economic consequences. critics say that delay cost lives and crucial response time.
7:12 am
and finally, a little boy from pennsylvania is back home this morning after what's being called a medical miracle. 22-month-old gardell martin had no pulse when he was pulled from an icy creek near his home. emts began cpr but an hour later at the hospital he still wasn't breathing. doctors, however, did not give up. 101 minutes after gardell had stopped breathing, they were stunned because suddenly his pulse was back. he was alive. >> in my 23 years i have not seen an hour and 41 minutes come back to this degree of neurologic recovery. that doesn't happen by accident. it happens because people are trained, and they're trained well. >> i just can't thank them enough. we feel very unworthy and very grateful. >> wow. doctors say gardell's body temperature plummeted to 75 and that protected his vital organs. he has made a complete recovery and this took a team of emts because you can only perform cpr
7:13 am
for a few minutes at a time so they were just taking sessions and they didn't give up. >> no brain damage. >> he's smiling, laughing, talking, completely back to normal. >> that takes great training and also takes a little -- >> a little combination of the two. i agree with you, lara. now to a scary encounter in the sky all caught on camera. a drone flying feet from news helicopters, one of those choppers even capturing the man operating the drone on camera. abc's david kerley has that story for us. >> hey, ed, we just got droned. >> reporter: calmness in a close call. that's a drone flying dangerously close to two tv news choppers including our seattle affiliate komo 4. >> above air 4. he's got to be, what, 1500 feet. >> reporter: nearly four times higher than the regulations allow. seattle has seen drone flights that violate the regulations before. remember this one, that flew dangerously close to the space needle last summer. but this one flying in controlled airspace, scaring and angering the pilots.
7:14 am
>> any contact with the rotor blade could and probably will be catastrophic. >> reporter: and what's next is remarkable. >> i want to figure out who is doing this. >> reporter: the cameraman is able to follow the drone as it dives, then buzzes over neighborhood rooftops, all violations, and the drone leads the camera right to the man with the remote. >> that's him and his drone. >> we're in the wild west phase of drone development and anybody can get in a catalog and buy a fairly sophisticated drone. >> reporter: a dangerous trend. >> it's not a matter if there is going to be a collision between a real aircraft and one of these toys but a matter of when. >> reporter: that photographer followed the operator all the way to a home, law enforcement knocked and were told no one owned a drone there. but the faa is now joining the investigation and will decide if legal action will be taken for flying so close to those choppers. david kerley, abc news, washington. >> amazing story, i think he is right.
7:15 am
it is bound to happen. so got to turn to march madness, robin, big smile on your face and big upsets on day one of the tourney. none bigger though than georgia state knocking off number three baylor. an even better story though was one of the players on the court for georgia state. abc's paula faris is here with the story. good morning to you, paula. >> reporter: good morning, lara. and kevin ware's comeback is nothing short of awe-inspiring but he admitted he was nervous and scared to go back to the place where his life was turned upside down. >> fresh start for kevin ware. >> reporter: kevin ware wasn't sure he'd ever have a moment like this again. >> georgia state pulls the upset! >> reporter: after his life changed in a split second two years ago. >> uh-oh, and we got an injured player. >> reporter: at the 2013 ncaa tournament ware on a star-studded louisville team suffered one of the most gruesome injuries practically snapping his shinbone in two. >> oh, my goodness.
7:16 am
>> his team is in tears. >> that was probably one of the most scariest moments in my life. >> reporter: miraculously he returned to the game less than a year later. his body was back but not his mind. >> i had to act like everything was okay when everything wasn't. everybody looking at you as this famous guy because you yoke your leg. that wasn't me. >> reporter: so, he wound up transferring from louisville to his hometown school georgia state and this year led them to the ncaa tournament for only the third time in school history. >> if you would have told kevin in that hospital bed that he would be the mvp of a conference tournament he would look at you and laugh. >> i was very scared today. i'm not even going to lie to you guys, you know, just being out there. >> reporter: and on thursday, when his georgia state team took the court as massive underdogs to baylor, they rallied from a 12-point deficit and hit the game-winning shot with only seconds on the clock. >> r.j. hunter for three! good! >> reporter: so thrilling their head coach -- >> ron hunter has fallen off his
7:17 am
stool. >> it's a great feeling having that underdog feeling knocking off baylor. >> reporter: where is kevin ware, you ask. kevin ware is back and so is cinderella. georgia state was not supposed beat baylor. in fact, only 8% of folks picked them in espn's bracket tournament challenge but now kevin ware and georgia state, they are moving on to the next round. they will face xavier tomorrow evening. i believe. how about that? i got it back out. >> great team effort. >> great team effort. love that scene from the coach. but he had pulled his achilles from celebrating too much in the conference championship. >> you mentioned about the bracket. did you see the video of him in the locker room when the coach looked at the camera and called out president obama because he didn't pick them. he picked baylor. >> only 8%. only 8%. >> thanks for bringing that to us. >> okay, thank you, paula. let's go to ginger now. rain and flooding starts in the south. >> yes, i mean, thousands of people are at south by southwest, austin, because this
7:18 am
morning it's been a little light rain. wait to see what happens later this afternoon and evening where we're going to have heavy rain. flash flood watch, some flood advisories that go from west texas southern texas, up to texarkana, parts of northwest louisiana, and that's not because you're going to have 3 to 5 inches overall, some 6 to 8 inches locally with some of those storms. >> good morning, i am

7:31 am
>> did you say 40 million? >> that was just a guess. >> okay. >> okay, we'll get to that in a little bit. but we're going to begin with the murder of north carolina newlyweds. a contractor was charged with killing them. this isn't the first time he's been linked to a murder. abc's steve osunsami has the story. >> reporter: this morning a mystery, what happened to this young couple who vanished and were found dead killed by a man they trusted enough to let into their home, police say. this 37-year-old handyman and contractor now locked up in a north carolina jail charged with three murders. police accuse jason owens of killing pregnant tv chef cristie codd, her unborn child and husband j.t. >> it's very devastating. i think everybody is in shock. i'm in shock. >> reporter: relatives reported the couple missing sunday outside asheville and police say the trail led right to owens, a neighbor up the road who the family often hired to do work on their home. cristie schoen was a contestant

8:14 am
second and third went to camilla and victoria, i'm not so certain about the second place name. >> yeah. >> not so sure. >> how did that get in the running? >> unclear. but, listen, if the royal baby is a girl, and if racing corgis have any say in the matter, i believe we know that you'll be looking at princess alexandra, thank you, "pop news" investigators. who knew? >> thanks very much. let's go to ginger now for more weather. >> let's talk about the snow and rain, so that's the whole point. i wanted to start you out in washington, d.c. where the snow has been falling but now it's transitioning and that's why i think a lot of these snow totals will be cutting down and timing it out, it hasn't started for a lot of folks. maybe in northeastern new jersey and new york but it will and the heaviest will fall in the afternoon and early evening. drive time tonight, that's concerning for me especially if you're along the i-95 corridor especially north. connecticut, the cape getting rid of it after midnight then we'll dry out and more spring-like.

8:16 am
we'll wait. go ahead. oh, no. there is a new study revealing what could be the secret to improving your sex life. abc's mara schiavocampo has all the details. >> reporter: it's a common excuse for skipping out on sex. >> i use whatever energy i have left to physically put myself into our bed instead of lighting up for you. >> reporter: sleepiness. >> what do you think, should we have sex tonight? >> ugh! >> reporter: there might be something to it. researchers suggesting the easiest way to kick-start your sex life may be with some shut-eye. noting sufficient sleep is important to the promotion of healthy sexual desire. >> what's happening while we're asleep is we're having an increase in androgens which are sex hormones and we're also increasing blood flow to the areas important during sexual activity. >> reporter: the study finds for women in relationships, each extra hour of sleep leads to higher levels of sexual desire and a 14% increase in the
8:17 am
likelihood of sex the next day. though, critics point out this is a small study done with just female college students and that more sleep isn't a surefire fix for low libido. >> what it does mean is that we have one more thing to keep in mind when you're thinking about your general overall sexual health. >> reporter: one study giving whole new meaning to hitting the sheets. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. >> you could see that george flee. he's not here. don't worry, we are joined by sex expert and sexologist for married for life, dr. logan levkoff and author of "don't waste your pretty," demetria lucas. thank you both for being here. let's say it was a small study. college-age women were part of the study but medically speaking what does it say to you, this study? >> the idea that sex impacts a woman's sex life shouldn't come as a huge surprise to any of us.
8:18 am
but what is really interesting is that it looks like sleep or lack thereof impacts physiologically our sexual response, which changes the game. that means it's not just emotional. there is a physical reaction that sex plays or plays in a negative way that impacts our sex lives. >> and from a relationship aspect we know we're hearing that sleep affects sex but sex affects sleep so the chicken and egg dilemma. >> yeah, i can't figure it out. everybody would like more sex and sleep. one is supposed to affect the other. which way it goes, i don't know. i'm confused. >> can you speak to that? >> well, you know, it's tricky. studies are tricky and these are college age women so not necessarily representative of everyone. >> having issues. >> but there is definitely no doubt that sex and good sex and sex that ends in pleasure can help be an aid in one's sleep. so you do want more sex in order to get sleep, but at the same
8:19 am
time we do know that when we are exhausted and stressed and overwhelmed, the last thing we want is sex. >> an implicit change for men as well. >> men have to step up to the table. it's not like people don't want more sleep but it's that women are overwhelmed with housework and child care and work-work so maybe if the guys step up more around the house maybe -- >> instead of bringing home roses bring home a bottle of windex. >> there you go. there you go. >> you're such a romantic. >> there you go. >> there is something really important to remember about women, though. we wear multiple hats. we are partner, caregiver, and sister, friend, co-worker and until we remember that the first hat we wear is woman and sexual being, we will suffer. >> that's your first suggestion because you're right. so many of us are overworked and we can't find that extra sleep so you're saying that's the first suggestion. >> remember that you are a woman and a sexual being and that your needs are important and that you're not just there to take care of everyone else. >> what's your top tip? >> you know, i would say
8:20 am
remember that you're not perfect. the house doesn't need to be vacuumed and scrubbed down every day. go to sleep, have, you know, some morning fun, and it'll all be there in the morning. >> put it on the schedule. play date. >> play date. thank you both very much. >> we love you, george. let's go over to george. >> my top tip, buy some windex. i got that one down. next up on our "heat index" a warning for wine lovers coming from a new lawsuit claiming that some top-selling labels have high levels of arsenic. abc's reena ninan has the story. >> reporter: it's the go-to favorite on "cougar town." >> they say a glass of wine a day is healthy. ♪ >> reporter: but now a new lawsuit says some of america's favorite inexpensive wines can potentially be hazardous to your health. >> we're suing because we want and we're asking these winemakers to take these wines
8:21 am
off of the shelves today, to recall their products. >> reporter: part of the industry under scrutiny. the lawsuit claiming more than 25 california winemakers, including low-cost brands like trader joe's and franzia, sell wines that contain dangerously high levels of inorganic arsenic, in some cases up to 500% or more of the maximum acceptable daily intake. >> almost all of them are $10 or less and a vast majority of those are under $5. >> it's a poisonous material, arsenic can cause problems in the body. >> reporter: there's no regulation on the amount of arsenic in wine in the u.s. the lawsuit alleging the wine with the highest amount of arsenic contained five times more arsenic than the epa's limit for drinking water but still less than the level for wine established in some european countries. >> i think just that the general person drinking a glass of wine with dinner probably is not going to be at such increased risk to be overly alarmed about this. on the other hand, we would want
8:22 am
to eliminate to the extent possible the amount of arsenic that we're exposed to. >> reporter: trader joe's telling abc news "we take these concerns seriously and are investigating the matter with several of our wine-producing suppliers." franzia referring us to the wine institute which represents 1,000 california wineries telling us, "we believe this allegation is false and misleading and that all wines being sold in the u.s. marketplace are safe." >> we are not here attacking the wine industry. we like wine but we don't want wine that has dangerous levels of arsenic. >> reporter: for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> we don't. all right, next, we're going to yahoo! your day and this morning we're tackling a big parenting question. how do you get your kids to open up to you? sometimes it is very hard to get more than a one-word answer but there are some easy tips that you can use. paula faris has details. what can you tell us? >> good morning, lara. getting your kids to open up is
