night to try to catch up with him. >> i'm about to kill this guy right here. he's an old dude. >> reporter: this morning, the fbi and cleveland police on a desperate manhunt looking for a man in a cold-blooded act of murder. >> we know who he is and he'll eventually be caught. >> reporter: officials issuing an aggravated murder warrant for steve stephens. they believe stephens shot and killed 74-year-old robert godwin. a seemingly senseless murder posted on facebook. on sunday afternoon, stephens allegedly approached the elderly man, savagely killing him just seconds after telling him he's about to shoot him because of a woman. >> all right. can you do me a favor? can you say joy lane? >> joy lane? >> yeah. she's the reason why, uh, this is about to happen to you. >> reporter: the homicide too disturbing for us to show. >> one male shot. gsw to the face.

>> this man right here was a good man. and i just hate -- i hate that he's gone. >> reporter: five states on high alert this morning as the search intensifies. overnight, a ping from stephens' cell phone detected near erie, pennsylvania. authorities say stephen who is mentored foster kids at a mental health facility and he lost everything due to gambling. >> i just snapped, man. >> reporter: in another post sunday, before what stephens calls the easter day slaughter, he says he killed at least 13 people. >> that's what i did. i killed 13 people. >> the police issued a warning for anyone who might be helping stevens. >> if there's somebody that's helping steve or if you think you're helping steve you're really not. authorities say stevens posted the crime after it happened and did not facebook live as initially thought. authorities reminding the public he's considered armed an very dangerous. robin.

>> yes, he is. we bring in abc news consultant, former fbi special agent brad garrett. there are no words for a crime like this. what are police doing and authorities doing to find him? >> the real key is going to be, i think, tracking his cell phone. he apparently is still using it. it pinged in erie county, pennsylvania. that's why you have this five-state alert to look for him. the disturbing part is he kills a total stranger. you don't have a direction to go maybe of other potential targets for him. you also don't know the mindset of this guy. what is really driving him. he worked at this facility with children. his girlfriend, apparently, made some comments she didn't see any signs of this. what really happened to this guy? i don't buy that he snapped. because nobody snaps. this stuff builds up over a period of time and then they launch. >> we're getting some information, and you have to be careful how much -- you want people to be aware in the particular states, but you don't also want for this guy to possibly be knowing they are closing in on him. how do you balance the two?

>> you balance the two by the following. you tell the public, look, you need to tell us if you see this car or this guy. and then back off, call local law enforcement. let them handle it. you need the eyes and ears of the public to probably catch him. >> we have talked about this before. and, the crime by itself is horrendous. the fact that it was posted online just adds to it. is there anything that can be done to prevent crimes like this from being posted? >> facebook is actually fairly good at capturing these things and pulling them off. they've done it a lot with pornography and other really super violent things. but up to a certain extent. think about the billions of postings every day. they have software to pull certain things out. i don't know that they do on something quite like this immediately. >> brad, i know you will be back later on another case for us. thank you. a lot of other top stories. president trump responding to the tax day protests over the weekend.

those of course, calling the president to release his tax returns. it's the first day on the supreme court for new justice neil gorsuch. you see him getting sworn in right there. the vice president visited the korean demilitarized zone. standing just 200 feet away from the north korean border. he issued a stark warning, saying all options are on the table after north korea's failed missile test. martha raddatz is in seoul with the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george. strong words from the vice president today here in seoul warning north korea not to test the resolve of the united states or its strength. overnight, vice president mike pence touching down for a visit to the most fortified border in the world. the demilitarized zone between north and south korea. amid an escalating nuclear standoff. pence, on a ten-day tour of asia, less than 200 feet from the north korean border,

catching a glimpse of the hostile territory and the north korean forces who guard it. just one day after the failed missile launch. >> all options are on the table as we continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of south korea on the denuclearization of this peninsula. >> reporter: the north's medium range ballistic missile test this weekend, ended immediately after launch. a black eye for supreme leader kim jong-un's regime. but there is still concern. hours before the launch the dictator rolled out what appeared to be a deadly arsenal of intercontinental ballistic missiles. the big question this morning, did a u.s. cyberattack bring down the missile? a former british cabinet member seems to think so. >> there's a very strong belief that the americans, through cyber methods, have been very successful on several occasions of interrupting these tests and making them fail.

>> reporter: no proof of that and no comment from the white house. but national security adviser h.r. mcmaster told me, time is running out, in an exclusive interview. >> this problem is coming to a head. and so it's time for us to undertake all actions we can, short of a military option, to try to resolve this peacefully. >> reporter: but vice president pence made clear today that while president trump, too, hopes to resolve this peacefully, the military option does remain on the table. >> the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president in actions taken in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to test his resolve. or the strength of the armed forces of the united states in this region. >> reporter: a warning that comes as north korea prepares a sixth underground nuclear test in hopes of some day perfecting a nuclear missile capable of reaching the u.s. vice president pence also

repeated rex tillerson's warning today that time for strategic patience with north korea is over. robin? >> thank you, martha. for more on the rising tensions, our contributor, colonel steve ganyard, a former fighter pilot and state department official. you're here with us, and okay. the test was a failure. still a lot of concern. you see the parade. you see the large canister, and that's what a lot of people were talking about. >> that's what scared people, robin. if you look at the size of the canister, which we think there's a missile or going to be a missile. bigger means longer range. which means it can get closer to the united states. it looks like a chinese missile that we know can get to the united states. that's where the concern was. we don't want to scare folks at home. this doesn't mean we'll have nukes coming down in san francisco and seattle tomorrow. but the idea is if you see those ranges marching across the pacific, this is why the nuclear problem with north korea is not just regional. it's an american problem. >> going back to the canister,

it could be a fake. >> it could be. they want us to think there's a missile inside. they generally say if this is what it looks like, this is what it's going to become. we need to take them seriously. they have said publicly, that's their aspiration to build a missile that big. >> the nuclear test. that's what we're concerned about. >> that's the next step. we'll wait to see. because we know that you have to have a missile to deliver the nuke. you have to have the nuke itself. the next thing is the underground test. a nuclear underground test that we're watching even though the administration said yesterday there will be severe consequences if they light it off. we'll have to wait and see the reaction is from the white house. >> all of options are on the table. >> thank you. >> thank you, guys. we'll stay overseas. the crisis in syria. a devastating suicide bombing has killed more than 100 people, including dozens of children. they were trying to flee if war-torn area on buses. terry moran tracking the story. news this morning of a new effort to try to make peace. >> reporter: this might, might be a faint, faint glimmer of

hope in the war in syria. the kremlin announcing that diplomats from russia, the united states, and the united nations will meet in geneva next week to discuss the syrian crisis. this comes as good news after the showdown over the missile strikes in syria ten days ago. as military analysts now say the defeat of isis in syria is within sight. the u.s. is trying to get russia to believe that the time is now to plan for syria's future without bashar al assad. it will be hard to get russia to go along with that, though. >> no question about that. yet the atrocities continue to mount. this bombing targeted the group of buses part of a population swap, part of an agreement that had been made. >> reporter: it's just appalling, george. this morning, still no claims of responsibility for the bombing. both sides blaming the other, and of course, pope francis condemning this attack in his easter message. on saturday, part of a deal to evacuate besieged civilians, a convoy of buses left two government-controlled towns in northern syria.

a vehicle loaded with food stopped. starving children swarmed around. another vehicle packed with explosives rammed the convoy. the carnage unspeakable. more than 120 people killed. including 68 children. this morning, those convoys have resumed and the war goes on, george. >> terry moran, thanks very much. now to washington, d.c., and president trump is back in the nation's capital this morning, after spending easter in mar-a-lago. he's preparing for the white house easter egg roll. but also facing fallout for those protests, demanding he release his tax returns. our congressional correspondent, mary bruce has more on all that. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. after spending a quiet holiday with his family, this morning, the president will celebrate with more than 20,000 guests here on his backyard. the white house, this morning. it's buzzing with activity. getting ready for the easter egg roll. across the country, a far less festive mood, from protesters demanding the president do something they feel is far overdue. this morning, president trump is

back in washington after spending easter with his family at mar-a-lago. the president celebrating the holiday while being dogged by another annual event, tax day. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: across the country, thousands taking to the streets, demanding the president release his tax returns. [ chanting ] >> all: hey hey, ho ho, donald trump has got to go. >> reporter: in berkeley, california, erupting as pro and anti-trump demonstrators clashed amid fireworks and pepper spray. from coast to coast. sorry, easter bunny. the trump chicken taking over. the president is being accused of being too chicken to show his tax returns. >> i showed mine. you show yours. >> even in palm beach the president's motorcade making a detour. >> what is he hiding? we need to know. don'w.you th it's ridiculous. >> reporter: fighting back on twitter sunday, the president asked, now tax returns are brought up again? saying someone should look into

who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. the election is over. but this florida woman told our david wright, she's raising her voice for free. >> i think he'll see it. i think he'll construe it as something else, that we're paid protesters. and we're not constituents of the united states, but that's not true. >> reporter: as he closes in on his first 100 days in office, president trump is trying to get his agenda and staff back on track. the president has told his chief strategist, steve bannon, and his son-in-law and senior adviser, jared kushner, to work out their differences. their power play playing out on "saturday night live." >> take him back to hell. have a seat at your new desk. i would like you to just -- fix everything. okay? if you need me, i'll be over here at my desk, okay? >> reporter: now, the president tweeted the election is over. but this week, he is headed back to a state that was key to his victory, wisconsin. he is expected to pay a visit tomorrow, george.

>> let's talk more with jon karl. our chief political analyst, matthew dowd as well. jon, let me begin with you in these protests. you see the president's opponents trying to push several different levers. protests, new lawsuits about his tax returns. you have democrats in the senate saying they want to make this part of the tax reform. >> a big effort to try to compel the president to release his taxes through congress. and george, that's not going to work as long as you have republicans controlling congress, but what i do see happening is more republicans saying they would be willing to support a bill that would say that the next president of the united states would need to be compelled to release his taxes. >> you have states considering bills like that as well. matthew dowd, the resistance will face a test as well. a key special election in georgia to fill the seat of former congressman tom price who now runs health care for the president. >> well, yeah. we have had one already, george, as you know. the special election in kansas. the democrat overperformed in a

district that is very republican by 20 points. it was a canary in a coal mine. that the republicans needed to be aware. but georgia will be a big crack in the dam because of that. if a democrat wins the district in georgia, there's a real chance that democrats could take back congress in 2018. >> i don't know the president was watching. safe to say he would disagree with matt's analysis of kansas. he put out a tweet yesterday saying the recent kansas election, congress, was a really big media event until the republicans won. now they play the same game with georgia. bad. >> there is a fact here. trump carried that district in kansas by 27 points. they won it by 6. it was a victory for the republicans, but it was a scare, and the democrats didn't invest in that race. this georgia race is critical. we're a long way from the midterm elections. if the democrats can win that, that is the kind of race they need to win to retake congress. it's an indicator they could. but the flip side is also true. if they can't win in georgia,

it's a republican district, but a more narrowly republican district. they'll have a tough time winning control of congress. >> this comes up against the backdrop of the foreign crises. the strike on syria the strike on afghanistan. the saber-rattling with korea. >> yeah, the interesting thing is, they haven't seemed to affect donald trump's approval ratings in the country. within the first days after inauguration, he had a majority of the country disapproving him, and today, even after all these actions, the majority of the country still disapproves. the country is seeing the actions in a prism from their own viewpoint. people that don't like him see them as erratic and dangerous. people that like him see them as strong and decisive. everybody i think is waiting for what is the fundamental foreign policy strategy? >> it does seem to have brought more organization to the core of the white house, though. >> yeah, i'll tell you, george. these events we see playing out now on the international stage will do more or could do more to define the trump presidency than

any other presidency or agenda. this is the real test of his presidency. >> thank you very much. to ginger with severe weather and flooding in the plains and midwest. >> such an active weekend over the plain, robin. i want to show you this video. this tornado captured in nebraska. you can see that video playing there. just so picturesque. and fortunate that of the more than 160 severe storm reports, many of them came in places that are less populated. it could have been a much different story. overnight, flash flooding. this one in cincinnati. this one from fairmount, ohio. one to three inches of rain. a lot of rain just north of chicago. up to madison. your weather in 30 seconds, but first, the select cities brought to you by sprint.

[ applause ] >> reporter: this morning, the man police believe brutally attacked and assaulted 27-year-old vanessa marcotte is behind bars. being held on $10 million bail. >> we never lost faith that this day would come. >> reporter: last august,

marcotte, a google employee, went for a jog in broad daylight in massachusetts and never returned. now, eight months later, police have arrested 31-year-old angelo colon-ortiz in connection with her death, after a vigilant state trooper spotted him in a dark suv matching one seen on the day she was killed. >> we would like to thank him and just everybody's efforts in finding the suspect that led to the arrest. >> reporter: authorities released little information on the suspect, colon-ortiz. a hispanic male who only speaks some english and is believed to have no prior criminal history. he lives in worcester, roughly 15 miles from the crime scene and is believed to have been working in the area around the time of her murder. authorities say it was marcotte herself who gave the critical clues. putting up a fight. getting dna under her fingernails. police say colon-ortiz gave a voluntary dna sample.

and it was a match. >> it was through her determined fight and efforts that we got the dna of her killer. >> reporter: her cousins said she could light up a room just by walking into it. >> as her cousin, i will always, always be proud of her. she's a fighter. every day, she makes me want to be a better person. >> finding the person who did this doesn't bring vanessa back. but it gives our family peace to know that the person is found and he can't do this to someone else. >> reporter: vanessa's cousins have founded an organization in her honor. to promote female safety awareness. the suspect is expected to be in court tomorrow to face charges of battery, robbery, and attempted rape. george? >> great work by the trooper. a big break as well. luck is when preparation meets opportunity. >> exactly. when you have people that can take technology, and you have persistent law enforcement that keeps their eye out for vehicles

and general descriptions of people and can put them together, that's what happened with the trooper. >> we learned from the fight that vanessa was able to get dna from the suspect. what could that tell you? >> it can't tell you as much that was listed in the release. it can't get into a lot of detail. can it tell you whether he's male or female? yes. it might give you heritage characteristics. i think they had information. maybe they had it was an hispanic man, light skin, small build and combined it with the dna information. >> and he gave that dna sample voluntarily. >> which, i will tell you is not uncommon. >> not uncommon? >> people think they can fool the police to a certain extent. he probably didn't know what they had. if they walked up to you and said, george, would you give me a cheek swab, you would probably say yes. they swabbed him, took to it the lab, got match. >> thank you very much. in just two minutes, a new

we're back now with more fallout from last week's incident on a united airlines flight. a doctor was dragged off a plane by police. united now says passengers that board planes will not be booted as more passengers come forward to say they've been mistreated, too. rebecca jarvis has more details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, robin. for anyone who has been on plane, chances are, you've got a story. most unlikely as troubling as dr. dao's. but his experience has opened the floodgates. for others to come forward and many airlines are listening. and changing course. [ screaming ] >> reporter: this morning, new airline policies are taking off after that horrifying scene on a united flight last week. >> oh, my god.

>> my god, what are you doing? >> reporter: the airline now announcing they're changing the policy that allowed dr. david dao to be forcibly removed from his seat on the full flight to make room for crew. the airline now requiring crew traveling on the aircraft are booked at least 60 minutes prior to departure, so if a customer does need to be bumped, it will happen at the gate. american airlines updating rules to say they'll not involuntarily remove a revenue passenger who has already boarded in order to give up the seat. meanwhile, delta is sweetening the incentive. to voluntarily give up seats on overbooked flights. in this letter obtained by abc news, supervisors are now authorized to offer nearly $10,000. up from $1300. >> no, this is wrong, oh, my god! >> reporter: all moves in hopes of avoiding the nightmare. united is now facing. >> will there be a lawsuit? yeah, probably. >> reporter: the airline

encouraging others to come forward. with their own tales of mistreatment by the airline. >> they said it was not their problem. their words exactly. >> reporter: like this utah couple en route to their wedding in costa rica. they say they were unjustly booted from the flight for sitting in the wrong seats. >> even though we moved to the right seats, we're still taken off the plane. >> reporter: the flight wasn't full. united said they were removed because they insisted on sitting in upgraded seats without paying extra. they say they were willing to pay for the upgrade but were still forced off the flight. >> flying is not cheap. people are in a happy place when they go on vacation. for us, we were going to get married. we're still going to get married. life goes on. the way united airlines handled this was absolutely absurd. >> reporter: united says the utah couple repeatedly continued to try to sit in upgraded seating that they did not purchase. they were offered the

opportunity to paw the difference. they declined. they were asked to leave the plane and were offered a discounted hotel rate for the night and rebooked on the flight the following morning. no air marshal or authorities were involved. >> thank you. dan abrams, we started this last week. we're continuing it this week. when there's a high-profile case, it's not uncommon for people to raise their hand and say, wait a minute. something like that happened to me. >> you have people that have legitimate gripes. you know what? i was treated terribly. x, y, or z happened to me. in a horrible way. and you know what, i should end up suing. then you have the other people looking for a quick buck. people are saying, oh, this is the time when united might be willing to settle for just about anything to get rid of a case. you got to keep in mind there's no question we'll see an increased amount of threatened litigation against airlines. >> do lawyers go out and solicit

and try to find people? >> what? robin? robin? are you suggesting? oh. absurd. of course. um -- >> says a lawyer. says a lawyer. >> they see a great case. they're saying the airlines are vulnerable right now. they'll settle in ways they wouldn't have settled previously. so i don't think there's any question but that lawyers who deal in this industry, personal injury lawyers, are going to be saying, if you ever thought about suing the airline, this might be a really really good time. >> it's apparent who went to law school. >> it doesn't mean they'll settle. they'll have to be careful, the airlines, and not start treating these cases differently. if they start settling a flood of cases, they'll encourage more. >> overall, is this going to change the industry? >> short term? i don't know that the impact will be that lasting. >> thank you attorney dan abrams. >> also maybe a little business school there, as well.

>> reporter: today, as state after state after legalizes not just medicinal use, now recreational use. a new report shows that 54% of people who said they use marijuana and 51% who say they use it regularly are parents. today, most americans believe regular tobacco use and alcohol use pose bigger health risks than regular marijuana use. the eye-opening numbers set to ignite a conversation about what may be an increasing role for marijuana at home. so to talk about it now, joining us yahoo! correspondent andrew romano and our own senior medical contributor dr. jen ashton. i want to talk to you, andrew, about some of the numbers here. the yahoo! report found 47% of parents who use marijuana do it in front of their grown kids or even do it with them.

what is this about? >> it's a sign of the changing times. this used to be something you hid from your paints or parents would hide from you. looking at the poll, 60% of parents who use say their kids know they do. 72% of adult children who use it say their parents know that they do. a huge difference from the past. >> i'll say. it wasn't long ago it was considered taboo. as a doctor, jen, what do you make of this? >> we're talking just about recreational use. we're not getting into the medicinal realm right here. this is the most commonly used illegal psychoactive substance in the world. there's a lot we don't know. we don't know the effects on the developing brain. there was a recent study that found metabolytes of marijuana in the urine of children whose parents smoked in their presence. so second-hand smoke will be a factor. pediatricians are adamantly

against this in front of kids. >> did your studies show that children of pot smokers, are they smoking more pot? >> we didn't find it in our study. it didn't test for that, but there is evidence from the states where marijuana has been legaliz legalized. i spoke to governor john hickenlooper. of colorado. he said teen use is down. he was opposed to the legalization. that fear has not come to pass. >> why you to think it's down? because it's kind of more out there, more available? >> it's more -- it might be harder for teens to get. there are fewer drug dealers selling it on the street because the market has been legalized, and that's what they are finding anecdotally in colorado. >> what do you want to tell parents? >> i think the verdict still out. parents, as always, they have to do what feels right for them. they should ask for professional help and assistance from expert

if they need to. you need to start with the basics in discussion. the facts are clear, marijuana, like any drug, can be dangerous. parents need to make that crystal clear to their kids, and they need to be very clear about the rules and boundaries and expectations. and adolescence is not the time for use. they need on to be honest. what they know and what they don't know. >> alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, all of it is dangerous. >> potentially. >> thank you so much. andrew, thank you. fascinating study. coming up, switching gears. jennifer hudson is with us. don't go anywhere. gears. jennifer hud sop is with us. don't go anywhere.
