and from trash to treasure. buried and forgotten, from baseball cards to audio tapes, could there be a jackpot hidden in your house, too? good evening. thank you for joining us on this saturday. i'm cecilia vega. we begin with that breaking news in the race for the white house. five states casting their votes on this super saturday. three contests for the democrats. you see them right there on the map. four for the republicans and the preliminary results are just now coming in. based on our analysis of the vote, abc news projects texas senator ted cruz will win the kansas republican caucuses. and in maine, with fewer than 10% of the presinks reporting in, cruz leading over front-runner donald trump, there too. the rest of the race is still early to call. enthusiastic crowds showing up to cast their votes here at a high school gym in nebraska.

and here, lining up early in bowling, green, kentucky, too. abc's mary bruce starts us off tonight from palm beach, florida. >> reporter: tonight, as republicans in four states cast their vote, the gop is at war with its own front-runner. >> you know, the republicans are eating their own. the republicans are eating their own. they gotta be very careful. >> reporter: the billionaire businessman slammed in this new takedown from a third party group. >> the truth about trump university, donald trump made millions, while hardworking americans got scammed. >> reporter: trump also under fire for flip-flopping on torture and immigration. >> i'm changing. i'm changing. >> reporter: all this as the nastiest campaign in recent history gets nastier. and with stranger spelling. >> you have lyin' ted cruz. i call him -- i nicknamed him. lyin'. i say lyin. how would you spell that? l-y-e-n. little marco is going, "well, donald will not win" -- i mean, this guy's got so many problems. >> where i grew up if someone keeps punching people in the face, eventually someone has to stand up and punch them back.

>> reporter: others are trying to turn the page. >> this process doesn't need to be mean. it doesn't need to be nasty. it doesn't need to be filled with personal insults and attacks. >> reporter: sick of all the name-calling, john kasich says he won't go there. >> i'm with harry potter. we're not going to the dark side. >> reporter: the move to block trump took an ugly turn, as his supporters clashed with protesters at this rally in new orleans. >> there was a protester right over there. did you get him out? >> reporter: and at this caucus site in kansas today, trump got a frosty reception as he took the stage just moments after ted cruz. but will any of this stop trump's rise? >> and that is the big question tonight. mary bruce joins us now from florida ahead of trump's news conference tonight. mary, let's break it down. how confident is the trump campaign about tonight's results? >> cecilia, the trump campaign is feeling optimistic. despite that loss in kansas, they're looking ahead. hoping for a big win in the louisiana primary tonight.

later donald trump will be right here for what he says will be a victory press conference. cecilia. >> mary bruce leading us off tonight. the heated race across the aisle, hillary clinton in detroit today, speaking with african-american ministers and bernie sanders in cleveland with some tough talk for his rival, both sides today campaigning hard in states that could add serious numbers to their delegate counts. abc's david wright has this side of the story. >> reporter: today in michigan, hillary clinton almost got a promotion. >> madam president -- >> reporter: "not yet!," she corrected. clinton has almost half the delegates needed to clinch the nomination. bernie sanders, about one-sixth of the way there. today kansas, nebraska and louisiana weigh in. >> this line is around the block, down the street. >> reporter: tomorrow, maine. three of the four are caucus states, and sanders does well in caucuses. at this nebraska caucus site today, his supporters outnumbered clinton's by nearly 2 to 1. sanders is still fighting hard

for the nomination. >> and frankly, i have no idea what her position is. she talks in vague terms. >> reporter: today, sanders unveiled a new five-minute ad, in spanish, putting a human face on immigration and the need for a living wage. sanders doesn't even appear in the ad until three minutes in. clinton has this new ad. >> 500 million solar panels installed in her first term. jobs with a future. >> reporter: the style, more conventional but the message substantive. the democratic debate seems like a civics class compared to the republican side. >> it looked like the kind of fights we used to have in recess in the sixth grade. >> and i would hope that most sixth-graders understand that we don't behave like that. >> reporter: tomorrow night, the democrats debate in flint, michigan. michigan comes up tuesday, lot of delegates at stake there. after that florida, ohio, illinois.

a lot of big states. so clinton and sanders are both looking ahead. cecilia? >> david, thank you. today's votes still coming in. let's take a look at the maps showing the state of the race right now. hillary clinton taking ten states. bernie sanders with five. the republican side, donald trump the winner in ten states, ted cruz with five, including today's victory in kansas, marco rubio right there with one. i want to bring in my friend and abc news political analyst matthew dowd. let's talk about today, the gop establishment came down hard on donald trump this week. mitt romney called him a phony. ted cruz now on track to win kansas. did this backfire? >> ted cruz had a good day so far. the interesting thing, they aimed all the attacks at donald trump and even marco rubio got involved in that. the beneficiary is an anti-establishment person, ted cruz. i think donald trump is bleeding a little bit from today. i don't think he expected this loss in kansas but he's still the dominant person.

the big person so far marco rubio. so far he's having a bad day. >> on the democratic side, big votes tonight also. both sides are looking ahead to florida and to michigan, does the math add up for bernie sanders. can he at all win this? >> his window at the beginning of the month was big. now it's little right now. i think he has the win most of the contests going on today and tomorrow. he has to win the majority of those contests going on. and then he has the figure out a way to close the gap in michigan. if he can do that the window expands just a little. hillary clinton is still likely to win, but he has a slight chance if he's able to do all those things. >> all right, you're following it all. good to have you with us tonight. we move on to new questions in the murder case that captivated a nation, los angeles police confirming they are examining a knife found buried on o.j. simpson's former estate. but even if it turns out not to be the missing murder weapon, as abc's matt gutman reports tonight, the o.j. frenzy is back in full force. >> reporter: sometimes a knife is just a knife.

tonight, law enforcement sources telling abc news the mud-encrusted folding knife -- held by a lapd officer for nearly two decades -- is likely not connected to the o.j. simpson case. still, police say they'll continue with dna testing on the knife. >> we will look at anything that we believe has any validity to either assure people that this investigation was done appropriately -- >> reporter: investigators believe the blade is too small to have savagely butchered nicole brown simpson and ron goldman in 1994. a lawyer for george maycott, tells abc news a construction worker handed his client the knife in 2002 or so when he was working security on a movie set nearby. maycott allegedly alerted the lapd about the knife, but was told the case is closed. it wasn't. >> this is a double homicide that is still open and ongoing.

>> reporter: the murder weapon has never been found. police scouring the neighborhood in 1994. >> we did a search from the rockingham home to the bundy home with 150 people. we searched all the streets, the gutters, the trash, the lawns. >> reporter: so the case remains in limbo. on the other hand it's an open case. on the other investigators tell me, they arrested the only plausible suspect back in 1994 -- o.j. simpson and they can't charge him because of double jeopardy. cecilia? >> matt, thank you. we want to stay on the west coast. dangerous weather is pounding the west. bracing for a series of storms. the rain already falling from washington down to central california. and take a look at this, in the bay area, high surf and flash flood watches. car spinning out on the rain-slick roads. homeowners now laying down sandbags. the worst is yet to come. abc meteorologist indra petersons is here. you were telling me it's going to be a rough next few hours. what are you watching? >> especially in the san francisco area, powerful storm making its way in this evening. we're looking at potentially

four to six inches of rain thanks to an atmospheric river, like a fire hose pointing at the west coast. mud slides or even an isolated tornado not out of the question. it will make a pattern shift. cooling in the west, warming if the east. places like d.c., a few days away could be seeing 70s. this opens the flood gates for places like mississippi. right along that river, could see heavy amount of rains. >> such a contrast in temperatures out there. >> such a contrast in temperatures, thank you. we turn to washington now, and new details coming in the case of that gyrocopter. you remember the video. douglas hoous hughes landing on the lawn of the white house last spring. prosecutors now say, he was just seconds away from colliding with a delta flight that had just taken off. hughes was convicted and he now faces ten months behind bars. next to the face-off between fbi and apple. a new voice now weighing in. tonight, the district attorney of san bernardino saying the iphone belonging to one of the

attackers could lead investigators to a possible third gunman. abc's lauren lyster. sitting down with that district attorney tonight. >> reporter: tonight, that controversial locked phone found in this shot-up suv back in the spotlight. the device used by two terrorists who killed 14 people in san bernardino at the center of a fierce battle between federal government and apple, who refuses to unlock the phone. now, the local d.a. is suggesting there could be evidence of a long-rumored third attacker on that phone. >> do you believe there is a third assailant out there? >> i don't know if i believe it, but i'd like to make sure there isn't. >> reporter: in a new court brief, d.a. mike ramos, pressing apple to unlock farook's iphone, arguing -- "although the reports of the three individuals were not corroborated, the information contained solely on the seized iphone could provide evidence to identify as of yet unknown co-conspirators." the fbi, local law enforcement have questioned the theory of a third gunman. tonight, apple stands by its decision not to attempt to unlock that phone.

apple ceo tim cook speaking exclusively with abc's david muir last week. >> this is about protecting the safety of the people who carry those iphones? >> that's exactly right. because if the government could order apple to create such a piece of software it could be ordered for anyone else as well. >> reporter: in addition to the court documents filed by the d.a. ram mows this week, another brief on behalf of six families who either lost someone in the attack or witnessed it, urging apple to find a way to break into that phone. cecilia. >> lauren, thank you. we turn next to that brazen gold heist, new details emerging tonight, sounding like a plot straight out of a hollywood blockbuster and as abc's gloria riviera reports, the fbi closing in on the thieves. >> reporter: tonight, new details on an elaborate highway heist. >> these guys came and robbed them. >> reporter: $4.8 million worth of gold bars gone, swiped off an

armored truck last night. the alleged ring leader, perez, arrested this week on robbery and firearm charges. perez' lawyer denying those allegations to abc news. the fbi says these two men are believed to be his accomplices. tonight, the man in the hoodie is still on the run. abc news has learned that the second man is in jail on separate charges. the high-stakes heist unraveled thanks to a confidential informant, according to newly released court documents. the informant detailing the james bond-like tactics the men used -- allegedly installing a gps tracker on the truck, and somehow remotely triggering pepper spray inside the vehicle. the driver and passenger suddenly began to feel sick, forced to pull over. >> they got their hands zip-tied behind their backs. >> reporter: the robbers, waiting, tying their arms and ransacking the truck. so far, authorities have only recovered one gold bar. gloria riviera, abc news, new york. still ahead on "world news
