3:34 am
northeast. flash flooding has been a problem, and we've got a few more hours to go before we start to see improvements. from washington, d.c. all the way up to boston, those are the main risk areas still yet tonight. but by about 10:00, 11:00, this should all be over and done with. the next disturbance rolls through starting tomorrow. severe weather across the great lakes. this will work into detroit as well as into cleveland. a few tornadoes will be possible before it moves into the northeast on thursday. the heat will replace it with building temperatures by the end of the week. norah. >> yeah, some record highs expected. jacqui jeras, thank you. now to a scary incident involving the son of nba superstar lebron james. 18-year-old bronny, a freshman on the usc basketball team, suffered a cardiac arrest on monday during a workout on campus, and he had to be rushed to the hospital. cbs's jonathan vigliotti has the latest details. >> reporter: tonight, concerns over whether bronny james, one of the most recognizable basketball recruits ever, will

3:36 am
his sons at the espy awards earlier this month. >> i'm so proud of these two men standing right behind me tonight. >> reporter: the family spokesperson says lebron and his wife, savannah, wish to publicly send their deepest thanks and appreciation to the usc medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication to the safety of their athletes. it's unclear why bronny went into cardiac arrest, but doctors say if treated immediately, patients can make a full recovery, norah. >> we're hoping so. jonathan vigliotti, thank you. tonight, investigators say they've recovered a massive amount of evidence and will analyze the material to determine whether any of the women were killed in the house of the suspected gilgo beach serial killer. cbs's errol barnett reports police weren't just looking inside that cluttered ranch home but also the backyard. >> reporter: after days of painstaking searching, authorities say they've collected all they can. >> we have obtained a massive amount of material, all of which has to be cataloged and
3:37 am
analyzed, and it's going to take quite some time. >> reporter: district attorney ray tierney could not rule out the possibility this small home where accused killer rex heuermann lived with his wife and kids may have also been a crime scene. the 12-day search involved specialists in body suits, cadaver dogs, excavators, and ground-penetrating radar, gathering both tangible and trace evidence, which ranges from 279 guns to hair fibers, blood, and dna. investigators say they also found a walk-in vault with an iron door in the basement where most of the guns were found. >> the cause of death with regard to the three victims has been categorized as homicidal violence. >> reporter: today the d.a. said the house is being returned to heuermann's wife, who along with their kids, was initially forced out with nothing but the clothes on their backs. the d.a. says they were out of town during alleged crimes. heuermann was charged with killing three women but has pleaded not guilty. he is the prime suspect in a fourth death.
3:38 am
also tonight, a former employee who worked with heuermann at his manhattan office said in a "new york magazine" article that he liked to hire young and petite women and once referred to a client as, quote, a target in sight. another standout detail tonight, heuermann's dna has not yet been shared with the national database, and the d.a. explains that's because new york state law requires a conviction before anyone's biosignature can be uploaded. heuermann's next court appearance, norah, is august 1st, next tuesday. >> sounds like we are still at the beginning of this investigation. errol barnett, thank you so much. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

tonight, investigators say they've recovered a massive amount of evidence and will analyze the material to determine whether any of the women were killed in the house of the suspected gilgo beach serial killer. cbs's errol barnett reports police weren't just looking inside that cluttered ranch home but also the backyard. >> reporter: after days of painstaking searching, authorities say they've collected all they can. >> we have obtained a massive amount of material, all of which has to be cataloged and analyzed, and it's going to take quite some time. >> reporter: district attorney ray tierney could not rule out the possibility this small home where accused killer rex heuermann lived with his wife and kids may have also been a crime scene. the 12-day search involved specialists in body suits, cadaver dogs, excavators, and ground-penetrating radar, gathering both tangible and trace evidence, which ranges from 279 guns to hair fibers, blood, and dna. investigators say they also
4:12 am
found a walk-in vault with an iron door in the basement where most of the guns were found. >> the cause of death with regard to the three victims has been categorized as homicidal violence. >> reporter: today the d.a. said the house is being returned to heuermann's wife, who along with their kids, was initially forced out with nothing but the clothes on their backs. the d.a. says they were out of town during alleged crimes. heuermann was charged with killing three women but has pleaded not guilty. he is the prime suspect in a fourth death. also tonight, a former employee who worked with heuermann at his manhattan office said in a "new york magazine" article that he liked to hire young and petite women and once referred to a client as, quote, a target in sight. another standout detail tonight, heuermann's dna has not yet been shared with the national database, and the d.a. explains that's because new york state law requires a conviction before anyone's biosignature can be uploaded.
4:13 am
heuermann's next court appearance, norah, is august 1st, next tuesday. >> sounds like we are still at the beginning of this investigation. errol barnett, thank you so much. well, tonight u.s. marine veteran trevor reed, who was released in a high-stakes prisoner swap with russia in 2022, is recovering after getting injured while fighting in ukraine. cbs's weijia jiang reports reed is being treated at a military hospital in germany. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that trevor reed suffered a concussion and lacerations while fighting in eastern ukraine two weeks ago. u.s. officials are upset that reed, a marine veteran who was detained in russia for three years, would risk being recaptured and stressed that he was not engaging in activities on behalf of the u.s. government. >> we have warned that u.s. citizens who travel to ukraine, especially with the purpose of participating in fighting there, that they face significant risks, including the risk of
4:14 am
capture or death. >> reporter: in 2019, reed was arrested in russia, accused of assault, and then released last year as part of a prisoner swap for a russian drug trafficker, a deal that president biden brokered. >> i did it. i arranged it. >> reporter: reed was released before paul whelan, another american who has been detained in russia since 2018. his brother, david, said i can't imagine the anger, vengeance, and grief that hostages must feel. some u.s. officials are worried reed's actions could hurt efforts to bring whelan and evan gershkovich, a "wall street journal" reporter detained since march, back home. >> the team is committed. the president continues to be committed to do everything that we can, to go down every avenue that we can to get paul and evan home. >> reporter: reed was evacuated from ukraine with the help of a non-governmental organization although it's unclear when he
4:15 am
could return to the u.s. he was expected to begin classes at georgetown university next month. norah. weijia, i understand that a federal judge has blocked a significant part of biden's immigration policy. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: that's right, norah. the asylum policy bars most migrants who pass through another country before coming to the u.s. from seeking asylum once they get here. the administration says that's one big reason why border crossings have plummeted since it was implemented in may. the justice department plans to appeal the ruling. norah. >> that is big news. weijia, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're
