in mississippi, louisiana, and alabama, at least 21 tornadoes reported. that number expected to rise. the national weather service calling it a particularly dangerous situation. extreme winds made for perilous driving conditions with dangerous lightning illuminating in the sky as a tornado ripped the steeple off this church. in louisiana four people seriously injured after a twister tore through the caldwell parish area. two people had to be rescued from under debris. residents coming together with flashlights searching for anyone who may be trapped in the rubble. the sheriff's department says multiple homes have been completely destroyed. this morning, dozens of residents left without power. slick and dangerous conditions in minnesota after snow left roads coated in powder. the twin cities getting over eight inches of snow. the snowstorm causing the airport there to close temporarily. over 18 inches of snow falling in utah. multiple wrecks after drivers moved too quickly through the icy streets. this police suv getting slammed into while responding to an

warning which we've seen popping all morning you do not want to be outdoors but in your shelter. a look at where that goes. thunderstorms all the way up through north carolina but it's the heavy rain here in the north with the wind, robin, boston, new york, the airports all throughout connecticut up to burlington, vermont, could see gusts up to 60 miles per hour from a south wind to a west, windy day. >> yeah, bracing for it. thank you so much, ginger. whit? to washington now and the race to avert a national rail strike. congress is moving to impose a settlement on the unions after president biden warned that a rail shutdown would devastate the economy. our congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill with the latest. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. with just days to go, this is down to the wire. a nationwide rail strike would be catastrophic. we're talking about a devastating blow to the economy. by one estimate this could cost consumers and businesses up to $2 billion a day. not to mention that it would freeze rail lines for approximately 7 million

travelers and commuters. this is exactly why president biden has asked congress to step in to help avoid a rail strike. he summoned congressional leaders to the white house, and they want to move quickly. in a few hours the house is expected to take up legislation that would impose a tentative agreement that president biden and his administration helped negotiate back in september. it does raise wages, but for some unions, it doesn't address their biggest outstanding issue which is enough paid sick time. lawmakers agree and they're scrambling to try and pass another bill that would address some of those concerns and there is growing bipartisan support for that. whit? >> rachel, another striking moment of bipartisanship, the senate last night passing a bill on same-sex marriage. >> reporter: yes, whit. those moments of bipartisanship are rare here on capitol hill. 12 senate republicans did join every single democrat to pass a bill aimed at protecting same-sex and interracial marriage. this comes just months after roe versus wade was overturned. democrats hear that other rights

could be in jeopardy and it is heading back to the house where it's expected to pass later this year. whit? >> rachel scott, thank you. robin? now to the verdict in a landmark january 6th case. the founder of the far-right oath keepers militia was found guilty of seditious conspiracy. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with more. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: federal prosecutors convinced a jury to convict on the most serious charges involving january 6th, that u.s. citizens had committed seditious conspiracy, plotting against their own government for weeks and willing to use violence to achieve their treacherous goals. this morning, stewart rhodes, the leader of the oath keepers, yale trained attorney and former paratrooper convicted of seditious conspiracy plotting to block congress from certifying joe biden's election. during the trial prosecutors claimed when rhodes made this video after the 2020 election, his plot was already under way. >> we have men already stationed outside d.c. as a nuclear option

in case they attempt to remove the president illegally, we will step in and stop it. >> reporter: rhodes faces decades in prison along with one of his top lieutenants kelly meggs, who was also convicted of seditious conspiracy. meggs is seen in this video, part of that group of oath keepers marching in unison in tactical gear up the steps of the u.s. capitol on january 6th. according to prosecutors, rhodes and other oath keepers were planning for a violent attack if president trump had given the word. authorities showing images of this arsenal of weapons including assault rifles secretly stored at a virginia hotel just outside of washington as part of a so-called oath keeper quick reaction force. key evidence in the trial, a series of seized text messages. rhodes writing november 5th only two days after the 2020 election, quote, we aren't getting through this without a civil war and then in december texting, it will be a bloody and desperate fight. that can't be avoided. this is just so rare. it's been nearly 30 years since

employees leading up to the shooting. he allegedly asked prioleau if she liked guns and told store employees, including managers, that if he was ever fired he would retaliate. in september, prioleau submitting a formal complaint to walmart alleging inappropriate behavior. her mother also complaining to management. >> they did say, go ahead, you know, you can file a formal complaint, but it didn't go any further than that. >> reporter: walmart telling abc news, we are reviewing the complaint and will be responding as appropriate with the court. in that statement walmart also saying our deepest sympathies go out to our associates and everyone impacted including those who were injured. r associes with signiforting all e ow og toy r hose families. robin? >> all right, jay, our thanks to you. now we move on to the world cup and the u.s. advancing in a

as you look at the group we found a way to navigate through a tough group and move on to the next round. >> you talk about how you navigated things here and a lot of people gave you a lot of credit for how you handled yourself after that very tough question, i guess, coming from an iranian journalist and how you handled yourself. but all the controversy and things happening off the pitch, has that been particularly difficult for you all to keep the controversy and the politics out of your minds and heads as you prep and get out there to play? >> that's another thing that's impressed me, you know, about this group. we've been laser focused on our goal and our objectives coming into this tournament. that's part of the job. there's always going to be a lot of outside noise but how we have handled that has allowed for a lot of success on the field. >> tyler, last thing, man. you all have been doing interviews watching you back here. right now you are live in front of your fans and your country. >> whoo! >> one message, could you give a message live to your fans and to your country? >> yeah, we're just trying to make everyone back at home proud. the support has been amazing. you know, we love the country. we love repping it and we'll do everything we can to bring it home. >> tyler, we love you.

richard allen in the killings of two teenage girls in 2017, libby and abby. a determination that an unspent bullet found at this crime scene was cycled through allen's gun. alex perez has that story for us and joins us here in the studio. good morning, alex. >> hey, good morning, robin. this is the first time we are learning how investigators zeroed in on suspect richard allen. besides that bullet, authorities say a number of witnesses put allen on the scene. this morning, stunning new details in the mysterious murders of two young girls in delphi, indiana. a judge tuesday defying prosecutors' requests and unsealing court documents revealing some of what led police to charge richard allen with the 2017 killings of libby german and abby williams. >> charged with two counts of murder. >> reporter: according to the probable cause affidavit obtained by abc news, investigators believe allen is the man seen in this video

recovered from abby's cell phone and says the full video shows the man allegedly following the eighth graders on a bridge. one of the girls says, gun, then police say you hear the suspect's voice. >> guys, down the hill. >> reporter: authorities say the girls do walk down a hill before the video ends. and abby's clothes were located in a nearby creek. and that when investigators carried out a search warrant at allen's home they seized boots, knives and a .40 caliber gun that tests showed matched an unspent bullet found among their remains. their exact cause of death remains unclear. >> everybody is going to keep them in their minds forever. >> reporter: according to that newly unsealed information, multiple witnesses placed the man resembling allen near the bridge where he allegedly encountered the girls just after 2:00 p.m. about two hours later one woman told police she drove by a man on the side of the road who was wearing a blue colored jacket, blue jeans and was muddy and bloody. allen's wife, the document says, confirming to authorities he

owns a similar jacket. 50-year-old allen who is charged last month nearly six years after the murders living about two miles from the crime scene and working at the local cvs. libby german's heartbroken family still in disbelief. >> you know, it's hard. how can somebody do that and just go on living life like nothing happened? i don't understand. probably never will understand that. >> reporter: prosecutors believe there may be others linked to the crime. >> if any other person had any involvement in these murders in any way, that person or persons will be held accountable. >> reporter: allen has pleaded not guilty. in that affidavit, he told police he was on the trail during the time of the murders but denied any involvement. he also could not explain to investigators why a bullet from his gun was found at the scene, only telling police he did not allow anyone to use or borrow his weapon. and allen is being held without

bond. he's due back in court in february. guys? >> all right, alex, great to have you in the studio with us. we'll bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams and abc news contributor former fbi agent brad garrett. let me start with you, dan, and the bullet that was found on the scene. how ironclad is that? >> when you're able to link back a bullet to a particular weapon, to an identifiable weapon it's pretty powerful evidence. but i have to say that i still have a lot of questions here. i don't quite get why they interviewed him in 2017. he places himself at the scene, says he was there. he was walking there. generally resembles the descriptions they've been given although that has changed over time. and only now in 2022 do they get that search warrant to go to his home. they find the weapon that he's had apparently since 2001.

and you do wonder, well, why didn't they do that in 2017? we don't have all the answers yet, and we may get them. >> brad, let's bring you in and more on the unspent bullet. what does that mean in terms of tying it to the gun and why didn't they test it until just this year? >> so, you have three possibilities. if he attempted to fire it, the firing pin would have hit the casing or the end of the bullet. that leaves a unique tool mark that can be matched up. two other possibilities are the extractor. in other words, that is what throws the bullet out of a semiautomatic weapon and the third possibility is the magazine. i got one other thing to say about the gun. i don't understand -- maybe they did this, maybe they didn't -- as to why they didn't run all of the surrounding gun stores of .40 caliber type weapons because i have solved a number of murders that way because typically, people who commit crimes like this have purchased a weapon legally and they have purchased it someplace close to their residence.

>> we are getting more information now, dan, because of the affidavit. prosecutors didn't want it unsealed. judge did so. why? >> oddly the defense seemed happy it was released. they keep saying, see, now this will show you there's very little there. prosecutors typically don't like this sort of stuff being released, right? they say we want to hold it all for trial, et cetera. but, you know, look, the defense will get it anyway. this was actually a motion made by media organizations that say it's in the public interest, and the judge agreed saying, it is in the public interest to release this, but it was interesting that the defense actually seemed to support it. >> dan, i want to bring brad back in about something you said. allen, as you said, dan, in 2017, in 2017 authorities talked to him and then again in 2022. what do you make of the things that he has -- what do you read into what he has allegedly said to officials? >> well, he has been consistent. he put himself at the scene on the bridge at the time this crime occurred.

he then repeated that again in 2022. it's just sort of beyond me in ssibly could have done this hi. o many questions.brad garrett, o > l ea e fbs t te llarand one youtub's mission to stop the scammers. some victims of millions of dollars and one youtube star's mission to stop the scammers.

we're doing this, well, the stock market was down. >> reporter: the banks bought it. >> yeah. >> reporter: over the course of a month burt making a dozen wire transfers in amounts as high as $750,000. the scammer he says giving him specific instructions. don't tell the police. don't tell your children. >> no. >> reporter: his daughter only learning about the scam after the $3 million was gone. >> do you know if that money was transferred into bitcoin? >> they gave mom and dad wallet numbers. >> we never saw it again. >> at what point did you get law enforcement involved? >> the bank manager called the police and said they've been in here enough times. i really think this is fraud. they handed the case over to the fbi. >> i'm looking for technical support. >> reporter: this youtube star posts video calls with scammers and says his background in cybersecurity helps him educate the public. he tells abc he's received countless fake pop-ups like this claiming to be from microsoft.

microsoft telling abc news it will never send this type of alert to your computer and will never ask you to call them as real microsoft warning messages never include a phone number. >> if somebody becomes a victim of a scam like this, what is the first thing they should do? >> contact the fbi through local law enforcement agency or their banking institution. >> does it help you heal to help others? >> absolutely. >> so microsoft told us that they take these tech support scams very seriously and advise anyone who receives a pop-up alert like the one shown in our piece to close the window immediately or to use the control alt delete buttons to quit the program they're using then run a security scan to try to stop this from happening. >> it's so good of him to put himself out here to -- in hopes this doesn't happen to someone else. you get your money back at all? >> in burt's case, $3 million gone. never coming back. we checked in with him. they haven't seen a dollar of

that back. however, the fbi has been very successful at recovering funds. about an 80% success rate. this i've recovered about $300 million in recent years, but the issue is this, you need to report it right away. the longer it takes for to you report it to authorities, the less likely you are to getting your money back. >> because sometimes you're so embarrassed. >> that was the point with him. he was so embarrassed but wanted to share his story to help other. >> so glad he did. >> what an elaborate scam. thank you for that. coming up here, clark griswold, the teacher, whit johnson, the student, it's our "play of the day." with jackets, hats, gloves and more from dick's sporting goods. with the latest looks from the best brands like the north face, patagonia, columbia and more. boots that score on comfort and style from sorel and dr. martens. cozy accessories for the whole family. when you're running short on time, shop dicks.com- where one hour pick up is always an option. and with our best price guarantee,

just an hour or so ago. now we see that watch that extends all the way into panama city. this morning, you still have a - shot at seeing a little spinup tornado and damaging wind possibilities from tallahassee to north carolina. this is the region we're really watching. what this does on the northern side is it's a lot colder, but it's going to end up with very windy and wet conditions which i think jfk, laguardia, newark, up to, say, albany and parts of new england, robin, could see gusts up to 60 that will impact travel. >> windy and wet. ginger, thank you. now the latest on the investigation into the murders of four idaho college students. a candlelight vigil is planned tonight to honor the victims as police still search for their killer. kayna whitworth is in moscow, idaho, with new developments. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: robin, good morning. so investigators have moved vehicles from the crime scene so that they can continue processing evidence. this, as city officials told me

yesterday, it's really hard to acknowledge that someone capable of doing something so heinous could still be walking these idyllic streets of moscow. this morning, investigators impounding five vehicles from the house where four university of idaho students were brutally stabbed to death including the new range rover kaylee goncalves had purchased just two days before her murder. >> kaylee was just home and she was talking about her car, that she was pretty excited. >> reporter: kaylee's father steve fears that instead of evidence mounting, it's questions. mainly who did this, why and who was the target? >> do you think that kaylee specifically was targeted? >> it's a fear of mine. it's a fear that when you have something like this, the last thing you want to do is hurt the other family and you don't want to have any kind of responsibility for those people to feel like they were just casualties. >> reporter: investigators telling abc news kaylee made several comments to friends and family about a possible stalker.

>> i mean, did she ever talk to you about a potential stalker or somebody that made her uncomfortable? >> she did. >> she did? >> we're trying to determine if it's just a singular incident or if there was a broader based stalking incident. >> reporter: deputy city supervisor tyler palmer says this normally peaceful idaho community has been ruptured. >> do you feel like law enforcement was unprepared? >> the training that a police officer gets in moscow, idaho, is the same training they're getting in boise, idaho. i trust our police department implicitly. >> reporter: still these parents are forced to memorialize their children without all the facts. what they do have is fear. so much so that steve told me part of the reason that they haven't had a funeral yet for kaylee is becaus they're worried the monster responsible could actually show up.

t.j.? >> oh, my goodness. kayna, thank you so much for being on this story for us. we do want to turn to hope. new hope this morning in the fight against alzheimer's disease. newly released findings on a new alzheimer's drug show that the drug significantly slowed the rate of cognitive decline in the early stages of the disease. our stephanie ramos is here with more on that. stephanie, good morning. >> t.j., good morning. this is some encouraging news in the fight against alzheimer's disease. a new drug named lecanemab has shown to slow cognitive decline by 27% in clinical trial. that's huge. its effect is promising, possibly giving people in the early stage of the disease more time before more cognitive impairment disrupts their life. the clinical trial which followed participants for 18 months did raise some safety concerns because the drug was shown to increase the risk of brain swelling and bleeding. there are still questions about costs and treatment schedule, but with so few drugs for alzheimer's, this may be an

exciting new breakthrough. the fda is expected to make a decision about approval by early next year. whit? >> all right, stephanie ramos, thanks so much. we want to shift gears and get to a very urgent and important story. we're talking about a vote celebrated by the french. get a loaf of this right here. take a look at the moment. the baguette gained unesco recognition. you see them waving them in the air. the u.n. body voted to include the artisanal know how and culture of baguette bread on its list of intangible cultural heritage. the baguette is now protected. >> what a relief. >> robin, you asked earlier protected from what? >> what is it -- >> from bakers and haters. >> but there's nothing like a fresh baguette. >> exactly. >> it's now protected. >> exactly. >> there you have it. t.j., there's plenty to go around. >> i love that -- you gave us a warning. bear with me.

>> reporter: hey, good morning, t.j. it's one of the most significant supreme court cases of the year, the indian child welfare act has been celebrated by native american communities for years for keeping children connected to their tribes. but now one texas family wants the justices to strike it down and make it easier for nonnative families to adopt nativeerican >> if we lose, she could be taken away. >> reporter: dr. jennifer brackeen and her husband chad are in a fight to keep their family together and finalize adoption of a native american girl they fostered for years. >> culture considerations are a challenge for every adoptive family no matter what race they are or what race their children are. >> reporter: from native foster children, those cultural considerations also have a legal dimension. since 1978 the indian child welfare act has set rules for who can adopt native american kids giving preference to tribal families over nonnative families. >> the interest in a young tribal citizen, the child in staying with her tribe, is a high interest. >> reporter: the tribes say it's critical to protecting their cultures and sovereignty as independent nations and the

response to the forced removal of hundreds of thousands of native american kids by whites over generations. >> being american indian is not a racial matter. that are sovereignr unger broth asking the supreme court to uphold the law. >> what would have happened if they had not found a relative to take you? >> my assumption is they would family. >> reporter: adams says the personal bond and family traditions they managed to keep show why it matters. >> even to this day we're working on relearning our language and we still continue to practice our traditional teachings. >> reporter: but foster families like the brackeens see the law as not only unreasonable, but unconstitutional discriminating against them on the basis of race.

>> the justification to deviate from that law is a pretty high bar to overcome. >> reporter: the tribe argues in court documents the law promotes the stability and security of indian tribes and families. >> if our sovereignty is eroded because of this case, we're going to have a setback that will take generations to repair if we can repair it at all. >> reporter: but the brackeens insist equal opportunity to adopt doesn't have to come at the tribe's expense. >> we're not saying culture is not important. we do believe it's important, but it's not the most important thing. >> reporter: now, the navajo nation which is defending it did not respond to our requests for documents they content the law does not discriminate on the basis of race, but political qualifications for tribal citizenship. guys, the brackeens tell me they hope the high court strikes a balance between respect for tribes but also for those children who already have been through so much. a decision is expected by the end of june. guys? >> you got to keep the kids in

>> so, of course, this all started across the pond, the great british bake-off. who is better, the americans or brits? >> interestingly paul said he thought the americans were. >> okay. >> i would never dare say that. [ laughter ] i mean, we've got the best bakers in america and we have the best bakers in britain so, of course, they're great. >> they're all great. >> they're all great. >> paul, would you mind elaborating. prue has thrown you under the bus. do you think the americans are better? >> well, the only thing i will say is that they have improved dramatically in the last couple of seasons and actually in this celebrity special, the baking was very, very good and it really surprised me considering some of our celebrities over here have been terrible. >> paul, since we've got you there, of course, the hollywood handshake has become a thing.

what does it take for you to deliver the handshake to the contestants? >> it has to be perfection and the idea is, if it is near perfect or perfect or slightly unusual, something i've never had before, that will deserve a hollywood handshake. >> i want to ask you, guys, which challenge, i'll start with you, prue, which challenge was the biggest disaster? >> you know what, i'm not going to talk to you about disasters because there were lots of them and they're really watchable so friday, free streaming on roku. >> i love it. can i tell you -- i want to tell everybody, we love you so much, prue. in the break you were saying you're actually more of a chef than a baker, the truth is. >> that is true. i was a restauranteur and had two great cooking schools and so i have judged food all my life.

all my cooking life and have had 20 years as a food judge on telly. >> you said your taste buds are -- >> that's what i'm famous for, my taste buds, not for my skills. >> well, we're going to test your skills right now. we'll head over to the table because we have one of the traditional yule logs. you'll walk us through this. tell us about a yule log dessert. what exactly is it and what does it take to get it just right? >> do you know it's so easy, you can either make or buy a really good chocolate swiss roll which is just a rolled up cake with cream inside it and then you put some butter icing all over it and looks like a log already and if you -- swap plates. >> yes, absolutely. >> right where the tasting session is. >> take a fork and you sort of make it look like bark. >> that's it. >> rough and ready. >> there's your bark. >> is it time consuming to make those.

around the holidays we're stressed out. how do you get through it quickly or bake it early and get to it later. >> you can buy it, it sounds ke >> you can put it in the freezer lee ntt't and thene leaves, whah el t>> as wee paul, i want to ask you, what advice would you give all of us who want to try to bake for the holidays? any words of wisdom from you, mr. hollywood? >> i think ultimately it's about preparation. it's about getting the good ingredients and getting some good quality ingredients because whatever you put in, you get out in the end product so if you put good products in, good ingredients, you end up with a fantastic one at the end and follow a decent recipe.

>> yeah. either his or mine. >> yes, of course, he did. he's a good marketer. >> prue, you're known for liking a little nip. >> i do. >> would you recommend for your yule log? >> what tastes good with chocolate? brandy, rum, almost anything. let me tell you what i did. i put the leaves on top and this is a fake berry because we couldn't find any and that's it. >> look how beautiful that is. can you see that? >> wow. >> you guys both joined us. paul, happy holidays and be well. >>ia pau >> so much fun to watch.

than santa claus in "violent night." >> they're naughty. >> and what do you do to the naughty ones? >> i give them a lump of coal. >> yeah, give them their lumps. >> it's a violent action comedy. it does have homages to "home alone," to "die hard," which is a christmas movie. but it also in my mind stacks up to movies like "miracle on 34th street." >> santa is a staple of christmas. were you nervous to play santa? >> he is somewhat of a creation of the 1930s coca-cola ads of this guy who is a big jolly guy with a beard. so i wanted very much to start with this image then to kind of, you know, figure out what's underneath it. >> you ain't driving, are you?

we're back on we're back on "gma." so much excitement as we count down to "avatar: the way of water." joins us now one of the stars of this movie, sam worthington. good to have you here. in studio. i know you all wrapped shooting, you did, so long ago like even years but saw it for the first time on monday. you said you're running out of superlatives to describe it. give me the best you got. >> it's an experience. you don't actually see this film. you're going to feel it and i think that is surprising. the movie is about, you know, it's a spectacle but it's about protecting your family and that really comes through. this love and what we will do

for those we love. >> you said you saw -- you were able -- we had zoe saldana here and sigourney weaver here. you saw it not at a big screening but in an intimate setting together. >> just the four of us. we're in the movie and there was a lot of tears going because of the story, i think it's -- as i said, this is a saga that jim has created and he's very close to this world and these characters and hopefully we brought them to life in a way that really connects. >> we give actors so much credit for how they perform on screen, right? the emotion and things they can convey when acting. you had to do all that underwater holding your breath. is this the most challenging acting you've ever done? >> it's a weird experience. the movie is called "the way of water." you know you'll get wet so i think the idea was how many emotional scenes which are normally hard to do on dry land can we put underneath the ocean in this story. it's too easy to kind of do it

with wires and jim is after authenticity see we were all in a big pool and we're putting scenes between fathers and sons connecting together under the water. >> i think sigourney weaver, you all have been talking about how challenging and competitive it got to everybody holding their breath. some could do it for seven minutes. >> i do whatever the boss needed me to do. >> okay. the boss, yes, jimbo i think is what zoe was calling him. a clip here. >> i got nothing. i got no plan. but i can protect this family, that i can do. i know one thing.

wherever we go, this family is our fortress. >> look, number one movie of all time, the first one. it's not your job to but do you feel pressure, this one, you want to knock it out of the park as well? >> i think when you make a movie you just hope that it connects emotionally to people. that's what you hope for. you can't anticipate, you know, big numbers or anything like that. that's not what you do it for. you do it to tell a story that emotionally resonates. >> you got three young boys. probably more impressed by dad making pancakes than making movies. >> my job is dad. that's it. >> not impressed yet? >> i think they're a bit -- i think it's a bit unnatural. they know dad plays dress ups and but that's about it, yeah. >> all right, well, "avatar: the way of water" is in theaters everywhere december the 16th. tickets are available now. sam, a pleasure to have you. good luck. stay with us. we're right back
