7:02 am
south korea confirms and president obama briefed on his way home from the region and martha raddatz tracking it all from washington. this is just the latest in a series of provocations from north korea. >> reporter: it certainly is, george. this overnight test believed to be the big et yet resulting in the most powerful explosive yield ever produced in north korea and causing a magnitude 5 tremor. the announcement came on state tv, the anchor in traditional dress gleefully announcing the test as north korea the 68th year of its government. what is alarming about the test is that it shows steady progress. the first test in 2006 yielded the equivalent of only about 1 kiloton of tnt. this one is estimated at 10 kilotons and the same time north korea continues to test ballistic missiles with an increasing range. they say their goal is to miniaturize a nuclear warhead and place it on a missile
7:03 am
they don't have that capability yet, george, but clearly that is the direction they are heading. >> that is a huge danger. instant reaction from the u.s. and our rivals in the region. >> reporter: certainly, the president as you said was briefed on air force one. he had just concluded that asia tour this morning secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart expressing deep concern, but, george, there have been increasing sanctions and condemnation and it has not stopped north korea. >> so little we can do about much. >> you're right about that, george. we move on to the race for the white house. 60 days until the election and hillary clinton and donald trump ramping up their attacks over national security, e-mails and russia. abc's cecilia vega, you know she's tracking it all for us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and those attacks still going. hillary clinton gave a press conference and she said donald trump failed a test on national security. trump took to twitter and said clinton gave a, quote, very dumb answer about e-mails, both sides
7:04 am
this morning a heated war of words over who is ready for the oval office. >> he is temperamentally unfit. >> clinton is unfit to be your cma. >> reporter: after they faced off on national security, hillary clinton in north carolina blasting donald trump for lavishing praise on vladimir putin. >> even taking the astonishing step of the russian president to our american president. it is scary. it is dangerous. >> reporter: and trump in ohio blasting clinton for the answer she gave about her e-mails. >> every time she talks about the subject, it's different. she got to get her act together. >> reporter: but now both sides facing fallout over that forum. trump for this comment about the iraq war. >> i was totally against the war
7:05 am
"esquire" magazine from '04. can you look at before that. >> reporter: trump is actually on record supporting the war. and as for that "esquire" magazine article, in it trump called the war a mess but he never explicitly opposed it and the editor says he is completely misrepresenting what he said and clinton under fire for what she said about trump's public discussion of his classified security briefings. >> i would never comment on aspect of an intelligence briefing that i received. >> reporter: but it turns out when she ran for president in 2008, she too made public comments about receiving classified briefings. >> we finally were able to secure a briefing. it did not inspire confidence in our readiness to do this important task of withdrawing our troops and equipment. >> reporter: well, her camp says that clinton received a policy
7:06 am
intelligence briefing and that comparison there did unfair, they say. >> this post, very personal. what do you think the strategy is behind that. >> we've seen these polls and hillary clinton has a likability problem and in this humans of new york piece she really tries to tackle this herself head-on and says "i know i can be perceived as aloof or cold or unemotional but i had to learn as a young woman to control my emotions. i think we'll see a lot more of this side of hillary clinton as we get closer to election day and trying to put a humanac people don't know who she is still. >> let's talk to matt dowd. our political analyst. matt, we see this as polls are tightening, not just the national polls but more press conferences and that post that cecilia just talked about. a new ad out this morning where she talks about reaching out working with republicans. they've gotten the message 60 days out. >> yeah, but i think it's a smart move and i think it's a smart move to get annan sight into hillary clinton but,
7:07 am
straight days to show the side of her because she is so familiar to the public. the second thing i call the leonard nimoy dilemma, which can when you play spock for decades it's a hard time to get the public to not see you as spock a and that is a problem she has. >> meantime, both candidates facing fallout from the national security forum the other night and donald trump really doubling down on that ece it's causing heartburn among top republicans. >> yeah, obviously it's basically saying that barack obama isn't qualified or a leader but somebody like vladimir putin who is basically a dictator over a country puts him in a real bind and hillary clinton made a good point when it says what would ronald reagan think of this? part of that problem in that forum donald trump had a visceral connection with the public. hillary clinton had an intellectual connection with the
7:08 am
most people vote viscerally not intellectually in an election like this. >> you keep saying let's look at the four-way race include ing other candidates. the libertarian candidate made a gaffe. >> what would you do if you were elected about aleppo? >> about? >> aleppo. >> and what is aleppo? >> you're kidding. >> no. >> aleppo is it's the epicenter of the refugee crisis -- >> okay, got it, got it. >> kind of stunning there, matt, if that were donald trump or hillary clinton we'd be shaking our heads but you argue it might help gary johnson. >> well, yeah, obviously it's a stunning gaffe and should have known what it is. i think it will help him because part of his problem has been he can't break through and nobody is talking about him. well, everybody is talking about him and in a statement in the
7:09 am
i'll do better next time. the second thing which is fascinating, this is the most we've talked about the tragedy in aleppo in a year, so by saying what is aleppo, we actually now have a better conversation about the tragedy going on in aleppo so you got to give him credit for actually raising the issue in that way. >> i'm not sure he meant to do it in that way but, matt, thanks. >> i don't think he meant it either but i'm looking on the bright side. >> you can see the look on his face when he got the question. >> everybody is talking about aleppo. now everybody is also about the heat. record temperatures possible for the northeast and ginger is outsidetracking this late summer heat wave. what do you have? >> i'm wearing the air this morning, michael. it is most certainly hot. we broke records yesterday. you can see this morning we're already 81 here in times square so that's warmer than we should be for an afternoon high so we've got heat advisories that september scorcher coming in. it's the humidity too. the numbers will go at least in the feels like, 100 plus.
7:10 am
are on and why schools are closed. then we have to talk about the flash flooding, new point, indiana, up to 5 inches drowning cars there you can see and 9 plus inches around wichita so flash flooding, our second story that will have a lot more coming up in a couple minutes. >> ginger, thanks. we move on to high drama in the french alps. dozens of riders stranded in cable cars overnight suspended at an altitude of 12,000 feet. abc's terry moran is in london with the latest on the rescue. good mng >> reporter: good morning, george. a harrowing night for dozens of people. yesterday they were tourists riding a cable car over a spectacular mountain scenery and then things went terribly wrong. this morning, daring rescue after rescue, a risky high altitude drama playing out overnight. dozens of tourists here to see the spectacular mountain scenery instead forced to spend the freezing night trapped in midair in these cable cars dangling over the french alps. a tourist from south africa
7:11 am
panoramic view moments before the tangled mess, crossed cables shutting the whole thing down. initially there were 110 people left stranded at 12,500 feet in the air. while daylight lasted, helicopters rushed to reach and rescue 77 people. rescuers harnessing themselves to cables then climbing along the cars and dropping down into the chair lifts. but night fell, a cold fog rolled in, operations were suspended. too dangerous for the rescue and hanging two miles from the ground. >> they won't use a helicopter and won't fly at night, no, they wouldn't fly during the fog either. >> reporter: an american tourist was among those rescued. >> we were there almost ten hours in the cable car which was really quite an experience. >> reporter: five rescue workers spent the night with those still trapped bringing blankets and warm food. a close call for sure. the operating company of that cable car says they can't figure out why those cables got crossed and so they've closed that line for now.
7:12 am
terry. thank you. we also have a big bank headline this morning. wells fargo fined nearly $200 million for setting up millions of fake accounts. rebecca jarvis has the details and joins us with that. tell us what happened here, rebecca. >> good morning, robin. this is truly outrageous. thousands of wells fargo employees at bank branches across the country opened millions of illegal accounts and they did it by using real customer accounts, real customer money and seeding them with that money and covered their tracks up by creating fake e-mail addresses, phony p.i.n. numbers and did all of this over the course of five years and managed to get away with it for five years straight, 5,300 wells fargo employees have been fired as a result and paid that record penalty, $185 million but i bet a lot of people out there are wondering how do i get my money back? well, wells fargo tells me they're putting it directly back
7:13 am
they will pay about $5 million, robin, back to customers as a result of this scam. >> the trust is broken. all right. >> 5,000 people -- >> i don't know. i don't know. that -- that leads to another question. how could they not know with 5300 employees involved? >> absolutely. we're also following the latest on the zika outbreak. new numbers show 84 pregnant women have tested positive for the virus here. good morning, doc. >> good morning. >> 80 pregnant women in florida, over 600 nationwide. >> that's right. >> you were the head of the cd. >> how big of an emergency is this? >> this is scary. i'm worried about it. in brazil, they've seen a massive increase in babies born with severe birth defects and i'm worried the areas having transmission now aren't doing enough to control it and next spring and summer we'll see birth defects that could have been prevented. >> i know they're spraying in
7:14 am
pushback because of the pesticides, people are afraid of that. >> usiiing they're concerned about the safety of workers using it and we've seen in south carolina where it was used a massive die-off of bumblebees and the concern is you've got to weigh the risks from these pesticides versus the risk of birth defects next year. >> thank you, doc and good morning, amy. headlines for us. >> i do, indeed. go the pentagon revealed details of a daring mission to save two professors abducted at the american university in kabul, afghanistan, last month. navy s.e.a.l.s parachuted into a compound where they believed the professors were held but they did not find them. there was a firefight. seven enemy fighters were killed. well, a mattress store in texas is sparking massive outrage over its tv ad for a 9/11 sale spoofing the collapse
7:15 am
towers sale. take a look. >> right now you can get any size mattress for a twin price. storewide sale all day long. agh. oh, my god. we'll never forget. >> wow, the store had apologized but some people understandably are calling for a boycott. >> yeah, that's a head shaker. colin kaepernick's national anthem protest may be getting some results. the 49ers ceo said improving race relations and dialogue with police. meanwhile, during the nfl season opener, the broncos brandon marshall took a knee during the anthem. as for the game the broncos won last night super bowl rematch with the panthers, 21-20. and finally forget several cups of coffee in the morning, apparently all you need is one. baristas in australia claim they have come up with a coffee blend so strong it will keep you awake for 18 hours.
7:16 am
caffeine, 12 types more than the daily recommended intake. and, yeah, they say they have four espresso shot, two different strengths of a cold drip and shots contain 80 times the amount of caffeine. >> that can't be healthy -- 18 hours in all of that. >> definitely for election night. >> what did you say. >> use it on election night. it's great. >> did you see this last night? serena williams out of the u.s. open. she was upset. she started the open smashing records. now facing defeat. t.j. is here. i think serena's loss even shocked her opponent last night. >> shocked her, her opponent. i'm mad. and you. serena williams is not the number one tennis player in the world. she lost the ranking by losing last night.

7:18 am
of a champion. >> pliskova now in front. >> reporter: after losing the first set, williams limped her way into a second set tiebreaker. >> i have some serious left knee problems but you're thinking of other things when you should just be playing and thinking of your shots. >> reporter: pliskova ultimately won on that fatal double fault. >> i'm so excited to beat serena, so right now probably america hates me because i beat both sisters, williams. >> reporter: but no hard feelings from williams. >> i wasn't at 100% but i win today. >> because she did deserve to win. >> it was my first u.s. open match ever. i had never been and i was so disappointed. i wanted that third match. i really wanted to see it. >> she's like i don't want you in that match. >> no, i'm not the bad luck charm. >> how about that weather, ginger. >> hot at the u.s. open but that flash flooding in southeast kansas. more rain from where that came

lester jones killed paige birgfeld, her remains not found until years later. as we show tonight on "20/20," her secret life providing a blueprint to authorities as to who killed her. a single mom from colorado left home one day in 2007 and disappeared. even her young children, frantically searching for their mom. >> hey, mom, you are really, really mean. you said you would be back before dark and you back. >> reporter: the baby-sitter said it was completely out of character for the hands-on mother to abandon her kids. >> she always created costumes for the kids and she taught a dance class for little toddlers. everything was centered around the children. >> reporter: days later her car found set on fire. just two miles from where she lived. but no paige. months of searching for paige turned into years.
7:33 am
colorado mountains. but who would want to hurt the 34-year-old mother of three? as police investigate, they find paige birgfeld was leading a secret double life. in the light of day selling pampered chef cookware from an office in this nondescript cluster of commercial office spaces. but after hours paige reveals to only a few close friends it was also a front for a pampering of a much different brand, a side business she was running named models what did she do? >> bachelor parties. >> reporter: paige's double identity is still a touchy subject for those with whom she shared this dirty secret. as we found when talking to some of them the years she went missing. >> she was learning to give massages, you know, lots of people give massages. so i knew that was doing a little extra on the side but it fit perfectly. >> reporter: the little extra was that paige for the right price would perform those
7:34 am
carrie even posing a picture on a web sit called naughty night life. that side business some fear put her in harm's way. >> she had a call to meet somebody at her office. the building was closed. it was after hours. she'd see this white truck. she eventually closed her office, went downstairs to her car and as she was getting ready to leave, she sees this truck pull up. she just wanted out of there. the white pickup took >> reporter: was she shaken by this. >> she was extremely scared. she told me about it and she says, i've never been so scared in my life. >> reporter: paige had dozens of client, one of them lester jones, 55 years old was called in for questioning and paid for a $400 exotic massage year earlier.
7:35 am
>> what did she have on? nothing. >> we did not have sex. >> reporter: he made another appointment with paige the day before she went missing. she was worried jones figured out her true identity and sends carol on the call instead. >> what's your first impression when you walk in the door? >> fear? really? >> yeah. he's a very large overpowering person. >> what's the first thing he said to you? >> i want sex. i looked at him and i said, then you should probably call another escort service because it's not going to happen with me. >> carol says he seemed obsessed with paige. during 7 1/2 hours of questioning, jones cooperates fully letting them take his fingerprints, giving them his dna and handing over the keys to his truck. >> what are you driving right now. >> it's a white dodge pickup. >> white? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: a white pickup. could it be the same white pickup that frightened paige that night outside her office?
7:36 am
all the charges. his lawyers saying a number of her clients could have been her killer including one who is dead. the jury has been asking for jones' entire 7 1/2-hour interrogation and a conversation he had with police that could blow this case wide open depending on how they look at it. >> what about the evidence? >> that's the tough thing. there's no dna connection. not a lot of direct evidence to jones and that's why it's taken the jury so long to decide what's going to happen here, but when you have a highly circumstantial case it's hard to get a conviction. you'll have that tonight on "20/20" along with the whole story. get that at 9:00 answer followed by diane sawyer's interview with elizabeth vargas on her secret battle with alcoholism. >> we'll have more with diane and elizabeth later in our next hour. michael, what is coming up on the big board. >> you'll join me, we'll sit here and talk to these people at the big board about a new smartphone warning after this truck goes up in flames. the owner is saying his samsung

7:40 am
passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage. and, steve, people want to know should they be allowed on the planes at all? >> i think it's going to be kind of hard to ban lithium ion batteries. we always want things that last longer and want things that are smaller so you rely on lithium ion batteries so hard to say you can't bring them on airplanes. i think what the faa does need to do, go back and look at the regulation ion batteries and see if the safety standards but i think samsung, you know, they took a huge financial hit here and took a representational hit so i'm sure they'll spend a lot more time and effort to make sure their batteries are safe. >> steve, it's one of these on a plane and if it does explode what potentially could happen aboard an an airliner? >> they have the potential to bring a plane down and a fire in
7:41 am
pilot's worst nightmare. we've seen two 747s be brought down by lithium ion cargo holds. you could have one in the cabin as well. some drop their cells in the seat, recline, crush the cell phone which also starts a fire so you think about these, these could be serious but considering how much we relire on them for everything we do in our daily life i don't think they'll go away any time soon. >> just to hear you say, steve. >> i know, they can bring them down like that. to -- thank you. now to a major report on the potentially life-saving drugs as statins. millions take daily criticized for certain side effects but now a new report says those risks have been dangerously exaggerated and dr. besser, you're here to talk to us about that. there are a lot of controversy around the statins so what does this report say? are they safe? >> well, you know, it's clear that statins can bring down cholesterol and reduce the
7:42 am
some of the concerns are that in some people statins can increase the chance that they have diabetes, have muscle damage and foggy thinking so this report, they reviewed all the studies that have been done on statins and what they conclude, the side effects are overblown. they can occur very rarely but the benefits far outweigh that in terms of preventing heart attacks and a lot of people who could benefit from these who aren't taking them. >> how do you know if you should be taking them? >> clearly anyone who has had a disease, it's one group that's recommended. anyone at risk of high risk of heart disease. as you get older you're at higher risk, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, overweight, smoke, those are the people who are at risk. with any drug you're taking if you think you're having a side effect don't ignore that but don't just stop taking your drug. talk to your doctor and work it out. a lot say i don't like it. i'm just going to stop and
7:43 am
>> thank you. now to former heisman trophy winner tim tebow once a new york jet now a new york met. has a little ring to it. >> can't seem to get him out of new york. >> the organization announcing on twitter that they've signed the former qb to a minor league contract. joining us is the man who knows a thing or two about playing pro ball and football and excelling in both baseball and football. our good friend, deion "primetime so -- >> good to see you, beautiful. i love you to life. >> look at that. you give me life. so talk about tim here a little bit. what do you think his chances are? >> well, i love it. let's not make the big idea of his age because there's often a lot of 30-year-old, 35-year-olds minor league ball players still trying to live out their dream and i like tim tebow.
7:44 am
that he's not on an nfl football team. maybe not quarterback, mr. strahan, i understand, but have you seen him lately? i'm sure he could play strong safety or outside linebacker but in the sport of baseball i'm all for tim tebow and if anybody can do it, he can and we should allow everyone to dream in this wonderful country that we live in. >> i agree 100% but you said not quarterback. he had a chance of playing another position. he said, no, i'm a quarterback so that was his decision. but one thing, we've seen a l >> he didn't know he would be all the way off the team. >> yeah, maybe he would have relented. we sent a lot of athletes -- you made the transition, bo jackson. remember brian jordan made the transition but then michael jordan tried to play for the chicago white sox. that didn't work out so well. how difficult is it, that's my question. it looks easy. we'll say you're a great athlete. can do it in another easily. how easy is it?
7:45 am
word transition and it's really not that. michael jordan made a transition. brian jordan, myself and bo jackson, that's what we did throughout our whole childhood and just so happens when we get to a certain age as an adult, people start saying, what we can't do and that's the only life we knew. now michael jordan was dealing with something personally and he just wanted to escape the game of basketball and live out a dream playing baseball and that's what he did. tim tebow wants to be successful no matter what it is and i think he's found something that he feel like he can do. now, baseball is tremendously tough. you're trying to hit a 90 some-mile-an-hour baseball that curve, break, slides, does everything and you can fail seven out of ten times and still remain to be a superstar. i like his chances. i'm betting on this kid. i love him personally and i think if anybody can do it, he can. he's going to put the work in. he's going to put the effort in, and he's not going to quit. >> tell you what --
7:46 am
>> he played for the braves. i know you're a big braves fan. >> i'm a big deion fan and braves fan. terrific watching you and hear you talk. >> we love you primetime. thanks to deion "primetime" sanders, steve, thank you and dr. besser, thank you. that wraps up our big board. >> see him on nfl's "game day prime." you do a little something on sundays. >> fox. he's called my competition. in two minutes that incredible space bringing back and what it could tell us about life. about life. >> about -- a lot about life,

7:50 am
earth until 2023. now, this probe will never actually land on the asteroid like bruce willis did but touch it with its arm and there is a chance that bennu is going to hit us actually in 150 years is 1 in 3,000, which i think those are not really great odds. >> we should have sent bruce willis. we've already seen him do it. >> yeah. >> why not. all right, thank you, david. we appreciate that. coming up, "it" girl hadid and tommy hilfiger are here live and lady gaga back and better than ever. the new music that has everyone talking. got to wait till you hear this. >> can we hear it? >> i can hear it. >> yeah. ? ? one smart choice leads to the next. ?

were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask about humira, the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists.
8:13 am
our friend and colleague, elizabeth vargas, she loves being in the field reporting, and we're back now with more of her powerful interview opening up to diane about her battle with alcohol, and, amy, you have how it affected those closest to her. >> that's right, robin. in her memoir "between breaths" "20/20" anchor elizabeth vargas paints a very stark portrait as life as an alcoholic and as she tells diane sawyer, the secret double life, which developed later in her professional career, spilled into every aspect of her life including the most precious parts of it, her family. a seasoned reporter, elizabeth
8:14 am
beautiful boys, sam and zachary, and ex-wife of musician marc cohn. as her marriage was crumbling she turned to wine for consolation, a secret she tried to hide from everyone including her family. >> i would stop on my way home from work, you know, and have a glass of wine or two at a bar and then -- >> alone. >> alone feeling really pathetic, you know, i would actually -- i would actually pretend to talk to somebody on my cell phone. oh, it's okay. oh, no, i'm just here waiting for you. no problem, take your time. i'll be right -- you know, like this whole facade. >> reporter: eventually a couple of glasses became entire bottles of wine, and her husband knew, deepening the cracks that she sars had already begun to develop in their marriage. >> and it made all the real problems we needed to discuss and work through frivolous in comparison. you know, what do you want to talk about? why don't you ask me how my day is, and why don't you support me more when why are you drinking
8:15 am
you know, i've just gone and changed the narrative in a pretty dramatic and destructive way. >> reporter: alcoholism is a battle she shares with more than 30 million people, and like so many, her family life became part of the wreckage of her drinking. >> did you ever endanger them? >> no. >> are you sure? >> i don't think so, no. i never drove under the influence. >> never? >> no. i don't own a car here, but let me just say something, because i didn't physically endanger my children doesn't mean i didn't devastate them or put them in danger emotionally or psychologically. >> so powerful. elizabeth there exposing the ripple effects of alcoholism. it didn't just affect her and her career, it affected everyone who loved her. robin. >> all right, thank you, amy. we're going to bring in abc news
8:16 am
about that. you and i were both watching and just in awe of the rawness and how powerful and just how proud we are that she's speaking up about this, and with any disease, illness, it's not just the person, it's the family. >> right, and the analogy i often give, robin, is when you throw a stone into the water and you watch those ripples, that's what any chronic disease, especially a life-threatening illness like alcoholism does, it ripples out to the family, children, spouses, partners, friends, parents, siblings, co-workers, and they're all affected, and i think when you -- when you ask about what to do about that, you know, yes, there's personal responsibility, but this is an illness that can incapacitate and paralyze someone to save themselves, so then the onus of responsibility falls to medical professionals. >> well, i was going to ask you, as a doctor, is there something that you can pick up? is there some screening?
8:17 am
>> absolutely. >> really. >> and it's happened many times with my patients. so i think medical professionals, we have an opportunity. we interact with patients, sometimes for something that's completely unrelated so how did i pick it up, by talking to my patients and not just with the alcohol screening questions, which are valid, but i'll say, tell me about your day, tell me about what you eat. tell me about what you drink. tell me how you sleep and actu t they said, i can't sleep unless i have a few glasses of wine and that started the discussion so those health care encounters are really important. >> and having that discussion both ways, so we talked a little about it. rich talked about this yesterday about alcoholism with women and what it stems from and the anxiety and elizabeth talks about that too and writes about it in her book. >> there's a lot of factors involved here. certainly, there are societal pressures that women face, there's family history of alcoholism or substance abuse, maybe some hormonal issues,
8:18 am
marriage issues. we don't understand what tips the scales and triggers this in women as much as we should. there's a lot of unknown questions there in gender but to be clear, robin, the stigma that elizabeth is helping to bust here is so important, there's this misconception, what is an alcoholic look like? we learn in medical school the answer to that question, the alcoholic looks just like you, looks just like me, and that's what people have to understand, and there's hope and help out there. >> well, she is letting people know that they are not alone. >> 100%. >> especially women. >> so proud of her. thank you, jen. elizabeth's full story tonight part of a two-hour block of "20/20" starting here on abc at 9:00. coming up, the children of 9/11 15 years later telling their stories. i just bought a book. and while i was telling you about the book, i downloaded a song. oh, and full disclosure, when we were just chatting about that song thing, someone arranged a date. guilty. the point is, life is digital. so, carmax, created a site where

8:24 am
your father helped people live. >> yes, he did. he's a hero. he's my hero. i'm daddy's little girl. >> reporter: what does that give you to know your dad is a hero? >> it gives me comfort. he died protecting others so it gives me a sense of relief because i know his death was not in vain. the world is in really bad shape right now with all the stuff going on, and i feel like my generation is kind of the one that's going to change things. >> reporter: while she misses her father deeply, robin like mourning. >> i wish i could grieve. i was too young to grieve. i didn't know what was happening. i know that i'm older and i'm starting to realize it, i am now going through the grieving process. >> reporter: this group one nobody would ever choose to be in now her lifelong source of strength. you get happy when you look at this. >> i do. >> why? >> because it just reminds me that they've always been there for me and even though we were
