just kept mowing everyone down. >> it looked like she wasn't even trying to stop the car. she had both of her hands on the wheel and was looking wheel and was looking straight forward and there were men running after her, trying to stop the vehicle and they couldn't get to her. >> we're going to need somebody to shut down traffic. >> reporter: the famed las vegas strip shut down. police believe she was previously living in oregon. in 2012, she was featured in a video that helps at risk youth there. >> boy, have i come a long ways. >> police believe she drove from oregon to las vegas where she had been living in her car for days. police say there was no sign of alcohol but they do believe that she was under the influence of a stimulant at the time. it all finally came to an end here at a casino a few blocks away where police say she pulled up to the valet operator and asked him to call 911 that she had just hit people on las vegas boulevard. she's now facing charges of murder with a deadly weapon and more charges are pending. kayna whitworth, abc news, las vegas. enrique marquez friend of syed farook has been denied

military facility in afghanistan. a suicide bomber on a motorcycle plowed into a group of u.s. troops meeting with local afghan officials. six american soldiers, killed. two other americans, and an afghan interpreter, wounded. the taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on twitter. it was the deadliest day in combat for u.s. forces in afghanistan since august 2012. across afghanistan, the taliban are on the march again, and making gains in areas once secured by nato and american forces. last week, defense secretary carter, visiting troops in afghanistan, admitted things are not going well. >> the taliban's advances in some parts of the country, even if only temporary, underscore that this is a tough fight, and it's far from over. >> reporter: there are 9,800 american troops in afghanistan right now. that number is going down to 5500 by the end of next year. but president obama who last christmas declared an end to the american combat mission in afghanistan will leave this war

to his successor. terry moran, abc news, london. and back here in the states, the political showdown between donald trump and hillary clinton shows no signs of a christmas truce. last night at a rally in michigan, trump seemed to up the ante a little bit using what some might consider a vulgar reference when describing clinton's 2008 loss to president obama. their current heated rhetoric began with clinton's charge during saturday's abc debate. >> he is becoming isis' best recruiter. they are going to people showing videos of donald trump insulting islam and muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists. >> and it turned out to be a lie. she's a liar. no, it turned out to be a lie. >> trump is demanding that clinton apologize for the statement that you heard right there. even though there's no evidence of trump appearing in isis

recruitment videos, clinton's campaign spokesman said quoting here hell know when asked if an apology was forthcoming. the scramble is on for lindsey graham's endorsement now that he's dropped out of the primary race. it coming just two weeks after the new hampshire primary. in dropping out, graham warned that donald trump would not be able to beat a democrat like hillary clinton without some major adjustments. former super model beverly johnson is speaking out about the defamation suit filed against her by bill cosby. she says accusers will do whatever they can to weaken their victims to force them to stop fighting." the suit claims that johnson lied when she said cosby drugged and tried to assault her in the mid-'80s. the search for the so-called affluenza drunk driving teen is now a major case for the u.s. marshals. that frees up resources to look for ethan couch who escaped jail time by pleading he was too spoiled to understand his crime. abc's elizabeth hur has the

latest. >> reporter: this video posted on twitter showing ethan couch at a party standing near a beer pong table although not seen drinking according to authorities may have prompted hill to skip his probation hearing and turn into a wanted fugitive. >> i believe he felt the other shoe was getting ready to drop. >> reporter: his mother tonya declared a missing person now officially part of the investigation. pictures of her pickup truck just released with investigators believing with ethan which could land her in jail. >> if we can find out she helped him at all, i assure you, we will file criminal cases against her. >> reporter: couch was 16 when he killed four people while driving drunk but using the affluenza defense, his lawyers essentially arguing he was too spoiled to know the consequences of his actions, couch got only probation. >> now, granted, he is not a major drug lord or a kingpin. but think about it. four dead bodies and this guy

walked with straight probation. >> i have never in my law enforcement career and that's 35 years now, seen a case that sparked such outrage. >> reporter: calling the sentence a miscarriage of justice, authorities say couch turns 19 in january and they had begun the process of moving this case to adult court even before couch vanished. authorities say for obvious reasons they cannot talk about exactly what they're doing or how it's being done but they're urging ethan to surrender adding they will find him and his mother one way or another. reena and kendis. >> thank you so much. now some sports starting with new york giants receiver odell beckham jr. he's being suspended by the nfl for one game following his nasty game long battle with carolina panthers defensive back josh norman on sunday. he drew three personal foul penalties. the league says his actions particularly a blind sided

head-to-head hit presented an unnecessary risk of injury. beckham already has appealed the suspension. we kind of saw that one coming. he should give up that appeal because he will lose it. it was just an ugly 60 minutes of football there. speaking of football, "monday night football," match a couple of teams who will not be going to the playoffs, but it was still pretty entertaining. detroit was in control against the saints in the first half. thanks to two short touch down catches by golden tate who attended the university of notre dame by the way. >> new orleans rallied in the second half with drew brees throwing three touchdown passes. brees became just the fourth quarterback in nfl history to throw more than 60,000 yards in his career. but that wasn't enough, though. the lions hold on to this one. a win for them, 35-27. >> it was close. they did kind of come back. near the end. coming up in "the mix," age old holiday traditions that seem to be going away. will you miss them? >> curious about those. also ahead, the space
