marshals involved in the case in just a moment. but first, let's go to alex perez in evansville, indiana, where casey white is being held right now. good morning, alex. >> yeah, good morning. casey white is back behind bars and held at the county jail, and his capture a dramatic one. this morning vicky white, former alabama corrections officer who went on the run with fugitive casey white is dead after going on the run and the 11-day nationwide manhunt is back in jail. >> we have dangerous murder back behind bars and he is no longer on the run. h will never see light of day again. >> reporter: the scene chaotic as they narrowed in evansville, indiana, about 219 miles away from where they disappeared in florence, alabama, after their cover blown when a citizen saw them at a hotel and authorities quickly responding and leading to a

dramatic pursue ending in a wreck. >> we could hear that she had her finger on the trigger. female is still armed. >> reporter: the female shot herself, and casey white still injured on the case but expected to survive. >> we can't clarify that until we speak to him. the vehicle had a date of may 3rd. we were lucky we stumbled upon them today. >> reporter: investigators were looking into a tip that the two were spotted in this pickup at this car wash on may 3rd. it was days earlier on april 29th when authorities say vicki, a 17-year veteran of the lauderdale sheriff's department helped to spring him from jail putting nim the back of the patrol car before ditching for it the ford edge which would be abandon and found in tennessee. the state of alabama had earlier filed criminal charges against vicki for purchasing that used car under a fake name. second degree forgery and identity theft.

>> you're a sworn officer, you have taken an oath to uphold to law, and when you violate that law and help a person escape you have violated the laws of society. you broke all the rules that you basically were hired to protect. >> reporter: vicki and casey white who are not related are set to have developed a romantic relationship that started with casey as an inmate at the lauderdale detention center since 2020, and overnight, the defense attorney speaking overnight. >> casey is not a big time forward thinking when it comes to his crimes or his actions. this was thought out thoroughly, the escape, the changing of vehicles multiple times and my assumption is almost all of of that had to have been vicky white. >> reporter: authority in alabama questioning how one of their own fellow members of law enforcement turned on them. >> what prompted her to pull a

stunt like this, i don't know. i don't know if we will ever know. >> reporter: and authorities have not said why they turned up here or if they have ties here and investigators working to figure out what they did over the last ten days. robin? >> so many unanswered questions. >> thank you. and we are joined by deputy u.s. marshal chad punt and mark healy. gentlemen, thank you both for being here. commander hunt, if i may start with you. vicky white died of a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound. how was it reported that it was self-inflicted, sir? >> at this time when we made the arrest yesterday afternoon and when we were taking casey white into custody, upon his surrender he said, help my wife, she just shot herself. that is what we are basing it on, and right now there is an ongoing investigation to determine it on, but that is the

information we received from casey white. >> and since the pending arrest, has casey white made any statements about that since the jailbreak or their time on the run? >> to my knowledge, he has not made additional statements, and i am sure that the investigators will follow up in indiana and also when he returns back to lauderdale county. >> and the sheriff's office said that a vehicle connected to the case was located there in evansville last week. can you tell us more about that? >> sure. when we located the orange ford edge, our investigators were able to determine that casey an vicky purchased another vehicle out of tennessee, and a short time later this past saturday and sunday, we were able to find that blue f-150, and then we started to work the investigation in that area, and

obviously we were able to verify the footage that it was casey white in the ford f-150, and from that point forward we were able to put the pieces together, and identify this cadillac that they were in yesterday afternoon. >> can either of you tell us how the police were able to locate them yesterday and how did the chase unfold? >> they were located through, just policework, good policework, with all of the agencies involved. we also had some information, tips that came forward and we certainly want to thank the public for giving us those tips, but we had obtain information after they had obtained the vehicle that they had possibly gotten into a beige 2006 cadillac. we dispatched our people into the area of the car wash and observed the vehicle at a hotel. >> commander hunt, we heard in alex perez's report just then

that vicky white's law enforcement background may have helped them to be on the run for so long, and it was well thought out, and is that the case and any new information of why a career law enforcement officer may have done something like this? >> i think that we all wish we knew the answer to that, but yes, based on her experience in the corrections industry and law enforcement, yes, this is a well thought out escape, and obviously her preplanning and her involvement aided in the evasion for 11 days. >> and so what now with casey white? a violent criminal and suspected murder now back in custody and what happens now? >> he'll be returned to lauderdale county where he'll have an arraignment, and at that particular time what the sheriff

has told me is that he is going to be moved to the department of corrections. >> gentlemen, thank you for your time this morning and of course for the work that you both do. appreciate it very much. please take care. >> thank you. >> george. >> robin, we are getting to the latest on the war in ukraine. president zelenskyy is saying that the country going to celebrate a celebration day over russia making some gains. ian panel is on the scene. good morning, ian. >> yes, good morning, george. more heavy russian air strikes as moscow is trying repeatedly to crush through the ukrainian defenses as they are trying to make a significant headway as they are doubling down. >> reporter: in the latest the air strikes in the key port city of odesa. and now in dombas in the east seen some of the heaviest fighting, the u.s. is calling the fighting there crucial warning that the fighting on the ground is dynamic. >> literally some villages and towns changing hands sometimes within a day or so. >> reporter: but in the east, the russian invasion is going backwards and ukrainian soldiers

recapturing villages in the past week, and now president biden is signing a new law to make it easier for the u.s. to export more military equipment to ukraine. >> the cost of the fight is not cheap, but the cost of not helping is more, so that is why we are staying in it. >> reporter: and people are rallying around the war in ukraine, and now officials are saying there is an neck dotal ed that russian officials are not obeying the orders or with the alacrity that you would expect. and president zelenskyy saying that soon there are going to be two victory days, one for world war ii and this conflict. yuri agrees with that, and he is a highly decorated world war ii veteran who fought alongside the soldiers in world war ii. he says he cannot find the words of why the russians are doing this. he call it nonsense and such a tragedy. we have heard that from the ukrainian soldiers of the greatest generation who fought alongside the russians to defeat the nazis and saying that the fraternal ally has now turned the guns on them. there is no softening the mood here, and quite the opposite, because the ukrainians are increasingly confident that not

only can they hold the russians back, but defeat them altogether. we have heard that from the ukrainian soldiers of the greatest generation who fought alongside the russians to defeat the nazis and saying that the fraternal ally has now turned the guns on them. there is no softening the mood here, and quite the opposite, because the ukrainians are increasingly confident that not only can they hold the russians back, but defeat them altogether. >> thank you for that report. and now, another wipeout on

wall street. part of a steep slide as the dow has dropped more than 4,000 points since the beginning of the year. and while the dow is going down, the gas prices are going up. our chief financial correspondent rebecca jarvis joining us. good morning, rebecca. >> good morning, michael, and those gas prices hit a record high. the national average is $4.37 a gallon after the prices peaked in march after the russian invasion in ukraine and the u.s. released record amounts of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve, and that was for a short time but now with the key prices of gas prices and oil now climbing up above $100 a barrel, and as michael says this has sent the stock market tumbling in the last couple of days and we have seen dramatic shifts in investor sentiment and

volatility and sent the stocks down 3%. and the stocks down which is the key part of people's retirement down 17%. >> and that is very volatile. what does this mean for the economy concerned about recession? >> the analysts are saying that the odds are rising for a recession. nothing certain, but deutsche bank is saying recession is expected by late 2023 or early 2024. goldman sachs puts tprobability at 35%. in the next 24 months. >> thank you, rebecca. robin? >> and now the showdown of the abortion rights. this is leading to tensions across the country and capitol hill, and this is while the security around the justices is being stepped up. our congressional correspondent

rachael scott is covering all this. >> reporter: tensions are running high around this barricade. fencing is still up around the supreme court and now increased level of security around the justices. as the battle of abortion rights rages on, protesters are gathering outside of the home of justice samuel alito overnight. on the heels of protests outside of justices kavanaugh and others and job robert's home. now the u.s. marshals stepping in to protect the members of the high xourt and the senate quickly moving to pass legislation that would extend security to family members. senate minority leader mcconnell is accusing the demonstrators the of trying to intimidate the justices. >> it is an attempt to replace the rule of law with the rule of mobs. >> reporter: this as mcconnell indicates that overturning roe could be the beginning saying it is possible that the republicans

could pursue a federal ban of abortion if they take control of congress. the white house is sounding the >> we're at serious risk. you noted mitch mcconnell and other republicans are talking about a national ban on a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: in 24 hours the democrats are going to force a vote to protect a woman's right to choose which is certain to fail. senator lisa murkowski who said she would support the legislation says she is a no. if "roe versus wade" is overturned as the draft suggests 26 states would ban or severely restrict access to abortion. and democratically-run states like connecticut and others are setting up access from other states. and now, over to covid, some of the numbers in the rising some experts fear the numbers could be even higher.

we're in los angeles. we go to kayleigh. >> yes, george. we are seeing the alarming numbers in 45 states and territories the cases have jumped more than 10% in the last week, and that is just the cases that we know about, and some experts are fearing that more and more people are testing at home or not testing at all, these case numbers are under reported and the coming wave could be bigger than these numbers suggest. some hospitals are jumping ahead of 10%. adding to the problem, thousands of workers in california have walked off of the job. here in cedars-sinai, union workers are demanding higher pay and safer working conditions. the hospital says it is fully operational because they are bringing in supplemental workers and we are 2 1/2 years of this pandemic, and nearing another grim milestone and this country is expected to surpass more than a million covid deaths in the next week. >> thank you.

the naval uniform there, and significant to be wearing the uniform, because he is the king effectively without the crown at the moment. >> and she has the mobility issues and in a wheelchair or not able to get out of bed? >> well, she is certainly able to get out of bed, and we have seen photographic evidence of her out of bed, but the truth is that she cannot do these long walk, and we don't know if she is in a wheelchair, and there is speculation that it is the case, but we haven't seen any evidence of that, and the reality is that it is simply that she can't get to, you know, some days she can move better than others, and she is having physiotherapy, and maybe she has had an accident out riding according to some of the sources, but she is 96, and we have to bear it in mind, george. >> and we have seen prince charles giving the speech, and

what does this mean for prince charles and prince william? >> it is clearly a picture of what is the shape of things to come. we are looking at the transition of the crown before our eyes and history of the making, and in fact, charles was in the full naval uniform is what the king would wear in such a situation the head of the british armed forces and the head of state. and some say that after prince charles who is 73, the head of monarchy is there and safe, and the continuity there in the form of prince william in the duke of cambridge. >> thank you. michael? >> and now, to that mystery deaths in the bahamas and that mystery illness. the people have now been identify. will reid is there with more. >> good morning, michael. yesterday the police commissioner in the bahamas naming vincent chirella and mikey and robby phillips as the two americans that are dead. the investigators urgently search for a cause. >> this morning, authorities racing to figure out what killed

perjury of the draper agency. my wife is crazy. it was a very bizarre, delusional thing to go through with a fever like that in an unprecedented time of a pandemic. >> and this is what you write about in the book. different ways of how you all as a family got through it. >> yeah. one of the ways we coped, robin, was -- well, first of all, we just let everything go. like parenting, we were just like download porn, we don't care, and george started getting addicted to -- do you want to say it. >> the "love island" thing. >> like you don't know. like you don't watch it every day. "love island australia," the girls were watching it. the girls loved it. george was like what is this show, you know, because he's reading the lyndon b. johnson diaries, and the girls were like, it's about people that hook up and get kicked off an island. who got into it? who got into "love island australia" and dressed up for the dinner in a bathing suit and heels.

>> not heels.

we'll get those taken off. but so we, you know, we flourished during it and i also found that i think humor is the best medicine and i think that certainly during covid i tried to bring as much levity to my children as i could because, you know, we were all terrified. it was a terrifying time and, you know, there was years ago i took my teenage daughter also years, i hope elliott to burundi, africa, and we were there, we were looking to help build this hospital there, and one day these beautiful girls from the village came in and we were beading and of course i bought lots of beading sets. 15 seconds? i'll do it when i'm ready. anyway, they all -- >> the computer. >> girls got -- oh, my god. >> four. we're getting divorced. we're getting divorced.

and i looked up at michael and said, boy, they sleep tight, don't they? >> how did the 49 years of therapy go after that? >> that's the thing is i had no idea until i saw him at his daughter leslie's wedding like 25 years later when he said, i have to tell you something. remember the rabbits? and i said, yeah, he said, they were actually dead. and all i thought was, thank you for not telling me then. you're right because i would not have been age to do my job. >> are you still in touch with anyone from the show? >> we're all -- the remaining surviving cast members still communicate regularly, fortunately with social media, and we're sort of able to email each other and we support each other and everyone, you know, they'll write a book and we all turn out for it. it's kind of -- it's great. it's really great. it's like a second family. >> and you left hollywood. you live upstate new york. >> uh-huh.

>> so what's it been like to leave hollywood for upstate life? >> well, there was a little place in between, though. we spent five years in michigan, in a very rural part of michigan before we came to new york, so i was already sort of on my way to finding this sweeter, simpler more comfortable life. i had to get out of los angeles to actually age which i wanted to do. i'm excited about this. i love all these changes and watching what's happening and getting to know this new person and i also feel so much stronger and i feel like i've really earned my opinions and i know what i don't want in life which is a bigger deal than knowing what you do. so going from michigan to here for work, back to new york city, we knew we wanted an escape and we found this rundown hunting cabin in the middle of 14 acres and set about restoring it ourselves and did a lot of the work our own selves. i just got the dirt out from under my fingernails. >> when you say we. >> myself and my husband tim busfield. >> who wrote the foreword. >> he did. he did. >> you all found love after -- >> later in life. >> how is that different when you find it later in life?

>> oh, well, again, the big thing is you know what you don't want. >> yep. >> and we both have been through it. we've both had a couple of marriages behind us and we -- i think we're both craving just a more peaceful partnership or be alone and we're really well suited. you know, we have -- we're just very much equals and we treat each other that way and i think that's what makes the difference. it's just -- he's my blanket. >> it's so beautiful. >> he's my comfort place. >> yeah. much like we saw with ali and george. [ laughter ] >> comfort, yeah. >> comfort and sweet. i will say this, though, we laugh all day long. we constantly crack each other up. he's one of the funniest people i know. i mean he will, he will walk into a door just to make me laugh.

>> does he call you half pint? >> he only calls me half pint when i do something very half pinty, like if i rescue a baby squirrel and i come in holding it like can i keep it, he'll say, half pint, you cannot keep the squirrel. no half pint. >> had he seen -- >> he has not seen "little house on the prairie." >> how could he have not seen it. >> well, he was in the navy at that time when he was younger and then he was a working actor and then he had a baby. i'll give him a pass, but he watched his first episode with me and got completely hooked not only on the show but developed such a respect for michael landon and the way he worked and his work as a director and michael quickly rose to become one of his favorite directors of all time so -- >> wow. >> beautiful. >> cozi-tv. you can catch up. >> cozi-tv. >> a lot did during the pandemic. >> they sure did. >> thank you. >> thank you guys for having me so much. this is always such a joy. >> looking forward to the book. >> always and "back to the

prairie: a home remade, a life rdiscovered, it's out now. make sure you pick up a copy. coming up, the comedians breaking barriers inspired by trailblazer margaret cho. we'll be right back. trailblazer margaret cho. we'll be right back. >> it's a great cover.

back now with our celebration of asian-american native hawaiian and

pacific islander heritage month. this morning, we take a look at members of that community making a mark in comedy following the lead of the trail blazer margaret cho. zohreen shah joins us from l.a. with their stories. good morning, zohreen. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. margaret cho was on the very first asian american sitcom called "all american girl." it took another two decades for the next one, that was "fresh off the boat," but a lot has happened during that time. she and many others inspired the next generation of asian american comedians. in recent years asian american stars like ali wong, haan minhaj and jo koy have taken the comedy world by storm. today koy is one of the biggest names in comedy. >> i'm half white, half filipino, which means my dad was in the military. >> reporter: we recently met up with koy at the hollywood improv. he said coming up he was often told broader audiences wouldn't get the jokes. >> if i send my kids to school with a tupperware container, it has a blue lid. it says "tupperware" on the lid.

my mom's tupperware, usually an empty cool whip container. >> that joke took me over the top. what i like is not only did filipino americans relate to it but then everyone was relating to it. >> reporter: the 50-year-old is no overnight success story doing stand-up for 25 years before his big break. >> there were people that opened for me that were getting specials. i'm like, what is it that i'm doing wrong that i'm not getting looked at? like what is it? >> did you ever ask yourself, is it because i'm asian american. >> of course, that was in my mind. >> reporter: koy finally broke through with his hit netflix special "live from seattle." >> my mom cured everything with vick's vaporub. vick's vaporub. >> reporter: now hollywood has come calling, his film "easter sunday" opens in theaters in august. >> "easter sunday" is like the filipino super bowl. >> there he is. >> welcome home, bro.

>> reporter: koy says he wants to use his success to inspire other comics of color. >> when i found out rob schneider was half filipino, i can be a comedian too because he made it. that means i can make it. because it's hard. trying not to cry right now. but it's just like that's what you want, right, you want to inspire. it's like we're here. we're all here. >> that's what i'm talking about. >> reporter: but 30 years ago, koy was inspired by this groundbreaking performer. margaret cho was already paving the way starring in her own sitcom. >> look at me. i'm middle management barbie. >> reporter: one of very few asian faces in stand-up. >> actually i wasn't on real "star search" but "star search international." they had a real problem with me because i looked this way but i talk this way. [ laughter ] >> reporter: the groundbreaking star sitting down with us at flappers comedy club near hollywood. in so many ways you were so ahead of your time. >> i think it was just i was more interested in pursuing my

own dream of being a stand-up comedian than what i was doing in a world that lacked other representation. >> reporter: cho's bold spin on being korean american made it okay to laugh at sensitive subjects. >> i think white people want to tell asian people how to feel about race because they're too scared to tell black people. >> reporter: cho said she loves what stand-up looks like today. >> i'm excited at seeing so many different asian american comedians now. my greatest achievement isn't really my work as it stands on its own but it's the fact that i influenced an entire generation to pursue their dream in stand-up comedy. >> reporter: and she really has. okay, so another story that stood out to me, jo koy told us he had had to foot the bill to shoot his first show.

netflix finally picked it up, but he had to make that investment, but it's investments like that that helped the next generation. >> glad he did it. let's go to ginger. >> you know, it is time for the season to move north and when i talk about the season i'm talking about severe weather so if you want baseball size hail you can go to minnesota where they had that bounce there. that's golf ball probably sized hail but up to 3-inch hail reported and new severe weather threat. not only today, but thursday, it really opens up in north drew: your accuweather forecast, upper 50's to lower 60's today. the chains of an isolated shower in the north bay this afternoon, drier and warmer by the end of the week. summerlike weather on up next, we'll serve up two of our united states barbecues. cecilia vega in washington, d.c. for this morning's competition. ♪ let the good times roll ♪ titi.
