southeast. several reported tornadoes flipping small planes. abc's gio benitez is there on the scene at the airport in hickory, north carolina. good morning, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. we're talking about seven reported tornadoes across the carolinas and just take a look behind me. look at this unbelievable damage here at the airport. you see that plane. you see that hangar and this is just some of the destruction here. torrential rains and damaging wind taking aim at the carolinas. >> there it is. >> reporter: in north carolina at hickory's regional airport, cars flipped on top of one another after a reported tornado touched down. this airport hangar ripped apart. winds picking up and tossing private planes. >> it flipped that hangar over the hangar that's still standing. >> reporter: the roof ripped off the post office in lawndale. trees crashing down onto homes. >> all i heard was stuff hitting the back of the

>> reporter: many roads impassable. umbrellas not holding up, cars barely able to navigate the streets of asheville. in spartanburg, sblg secretary of state -- >> this is my truck. >> reporter: another reported tornado knocking this tractor trailer to its side leaving roads filled with debris and power lines scattered. >> that is crazy. >> reporter: trees snapped like toothpicks. the roof torn off this industrial complex igniting a fire. and while thousands are still without power across the southeast there are no reported injuries or deaths. that's the good news, george. >> thank goodness for that. thanks very much. to ginger. that severe weather heading north. >> now folks from maryland up through vermont have the potential for that. also flash flooding which is something you saw in boone, north carolina. what can happen with these type of storms especially as the cold front moves through the northeast and mid-atlantic so from philadelphia to new york city going to be a wet day up

11:00 p.m., rain and storms happening. some of the winds could be in excess of 60 miles per hour that will take down power lines and trees and you could see a quick lit spinup as far as a tornado anywhere in yelchin. not only the flooding but the tornadoes and damaging wind threat and then a lot of wind and then the heat in the west. i have so much more to talk about, robin. which i'll come back with in moments. >> the latest out of washington. president trump is heading to capitol hill this afternoon to meet with republican senators and make a push on tax reform. he's promising thought to make changes to 401(k) plans. and there are new developments in the russia investigation. sources tell abc news that the president's longtime personal attorney will also be on capitol hill today for a closed door interview by the house intelligence committee. and serious questions are growing about that deadly ambush that killed four special forces troops. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is in washington with new

on this. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it is a shock to many that the u.s. has some 800 troops serving in niger, most at a drone base but nearly 100 there to assist niger's military in countering isis and al qaeda and it is isis, the military believes, that killed those four americans. this morning, chilling new details about that the ambush that left four american special operations soldiers dead in niger. a senior intelligence official telling abc news it started as a routine reconnaissance mission, a convoy of six to eight vehicles, three american, traveling to a local village. but after they completed that mission, a new order came through, a dramatic change in plans, the team now told to kill or capture one of the top isis targets in niger. they never find the target. but on their way back to base after being awake for nearly 24 ho

remote village, a survivor of the ambush telling abc news something is off. a village elder tries to stall them. and leaving the town, the attack, 50 terrorists are upon them. the team taking fire from rocket propelled grenades and machine guns. one disabled by gunfire. u.s. forces waiting for more than an hour to call for help. within minutes a u.s. drone overhead but it appears the troops waited about an hour before calling in french warplanes that arrived an hour later. >> in about two hours after the initial contact was made, the initial french mirages arrived overhead. >> reporter: as night falls two wounded u.s. troops are evacuated. so are the bodies of the three u.s. soldiers killed in action. but sergeant la david johnson is still missing. >> why did it take time to find and recover sergeant johnson? again, these are all fair questions that the investigation

>> reporter: his body would not be recovered for another 48 hours. but that survivor telling abc news sergeant johnson was, quote, grabbing every weapon available to him to fight and was, quote, a beast. his widow speaking on "gma" to george yesterday demanding answers. >> i don't know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. i don't know that part. they never told me and that's what i've been trying to find out since day one. >> reporter: general dunford says the pentagon is working hard to get those answers for mrs. johnson and the other families, one major question, why would those special operations soldiers be sent on a new dangerous mission without backup. george. >> thanks, martha. we are joined by the chair of the senate foreign relations committee senator bob corker. thank you for joining us this morning. we heard martha say a lot of people are shocked to learn we have almost a thousand troops right now in

relations committee do you understand what america is doing there and do americans know what we need to know about that mission? >> well, george, we've receive congressional notification earlier this year we had 600 troops there. i know those grow over time and i visited the area. there's a tremendous amount of extremism we're countering. those details about the mission we don't know but we do know in the general area there are a lot of people that wish us harm so throughout this we have a large number of forces. >> so we should be there. >> look, yes, now let me say this, george, a week from yesterday i'll begin debate about the use of force. what's happening through the years these efforts have spread throughout the world without a lot of congressional input and i know senator mccain and others and myself want

congress is playing the appropriate role >> let's move on to tax reform. president trump is heading to capitol hill to talk to you and other senate republicans about that. yesterday he seemed to take any reform of 401(k)s off the table. are you confident he's got the will and the skill and the commitment to get this done? >> george, i haven't seen that yet. there's about $4 trillion in loophole closings, credits, all kinds of things that you're very familiar with in the tax code that have to be closed forward to do what has been laid out so there's -- you know, it's easy to talk about cutting people's rates and doing this, the things that benefit people, but the spendage if you will is in doing all these reforms which makes doing your taxes much more simple and what the american people have asked for for years but if you start taking things off the table before you get started you make that very difficult and so what i hope is going to happen is the president will lead this effort, if you will to the

committees and let them do their work and not begin taking things off the table that ought to be debated in the committees at the proper time. >> you said you won't vote for a tax bill that increases the deficit. according the tax plan it's hard to know. they're probably increase it by $2 billion. when i asked steve mnuchin here's what he said. >> we believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth and believe it will cut the deficit by a trillion dollars and that's with a conservative 2.9% gdp over the ten-year period of time. >> do you buy that explanation that growth will pay for this? >> well, we'll see, george. as you know, not all tax reform is equal and so we'll have to see. obviously we need to look at scoring mechanisms and go through the process. i -- we have the greatest threat to our nation is not what's happening in northern africa or what's happening i

or any other places. it's really us, george. our inability to deal with our fiscal issues with 20 trillion in debt and another 10 trillion in current projections. >> you had tough words many for president trump and compared the white house to an adult day-care center and perhaps putting us on a path to world war ii and say most of your colleagues agree with you behind closed doors. any regrets about those. >> i don't make comments i haven't thought about. the first was obvious in response to a fallacious tweet that the president sent out. the second comment really when you look at the fact that we've got this issue in north korea and the president continues to kneecap his diplomatic representative, the secretary of state, and really move him away from successful diplomatic negotiations with china, which is key to this, you're taking us on a path to combat, and so, you know, i want to support these efforts that are under way. the president

secretary of state, raises tensions in the area by virtue of the tweets that he sends out and i would just like for him to leave it to the professionals and see if we can do something constructive to are our country, the region and the world. >> sounds like no second thoughts. thanks. >> leave it to the professionals. all right, george. turning to a group of teens facing murder charges in michigan for throwing rocks from an overpass killing a driver below. adrienne bankert is here with the story. good morning, adrienne. >> reporter: good morning. yes, this was a callous stunt. the county prosecutor describes this as a willful and wanton act. authorities say after throwing rocks and large chivengs of concrete off that overpass the group went to mcdonald's. five michigan teens between the ages of 15 and 17 have been charged with second degree murder in the death of 32-year-old kenny white. after the teens threw a rock at his car on this michigan overpass. >>om

windshield and hit a friend. he's now unconscious. >> reporter: the group allegedly playing a game called dinging. tossing rocks over this bridge on interstate 75 in the hopes to hear the ding sound a rock makes when it strikes a piece of metal. white a father of four was driving home from his construction job when he was struck through the windshield. the six-pound rock hitting him in the head killing him. >> still can't figure out what goes through someone's head to want to just go out and throw stuff off of a bridge. >> reporter: four other cars were hit that day including india reeves. her tire was flattened. >> i'm lucky i guess to still be alive. why would someone want to hurt innocent people? >> reporter: 20 rocks were found along the highway. >> we have a family whose guy has a fiancee, a child, he's on his way back from a hard day's work and out of the blue comes a rock and loses his life. >> just senseless.

describing how she had to tell her 5-year-old son his father had been killed. the teens will be charged as adults and could face life in prison in convicted. >> six-pound rock. how do you not know that's going to cause harm. >> now they'll face the consequences. >> boy, they should. thanks very much. we move to a bird strike that forced a jetblue flight to flow at a low altitude and diverted to a new location and david kerley is at los angeles international airport with the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. the pilots knew they hit a good size bird when they took off from the airport. but they didn't want to land immediately because their a-320 was heavy with fuel. overnight a jetblue aircraft took off right into trouble. >> we felt a pretty good jolt. >> reporter: the boston to las vegas-bound jet struck a flock of birds with its left engine. the flight with 144 passengers declares an emergency, attempts to return back to boston but is denied because of weather. instead, the flight

new york's jfk forced to fly at a low altitude of just 3700 feet. this flight radar image showing the plane as it heads towards jfk but then it's caught in a holding pattern for nearly an hour. with bird flocks increasing in size in recent years so have the number of bird striebls. >> on touchdown we had a bird strike. >> reporter: in 2016 birds hit this jetblue plane and two hours later birds ran into a singapore a380 one of the largest jets flying. >> there's a big flock of birds. >> reporter: of course, the most famous bird strike of all, resulted in what is called a miracle. >> hit birds. we've lost thrust on both engines. >> reporter: when sully sullenburgary jet took off he lost both engines to bird strikes landing in the hudson river. when this incidt

reason they circled jfk was to burn off fuel. the diverse was out of an abundance of caution and all the passengers were reaccommodated. robin. >> glad everything worked out. all right there, david, thank you. now to los angeles where the heat is on, my friends. literally and figuratively. game one of 9 world series tonight. temperatures are soaring and as we mentioned, it's going to be the hottest series ever and our senior national correspondent lucky duck matt gutman is there at dodger stadium for game one. good morning. >> reporter: i don't know how lucky. it's going to be 98 degrees here at first pitch. that would make it the hottest first game of the world series ever. now, that's 52 degrees warmer than it was in cleveland for the first game last year. hearing a lot of jokes from players about it being a dry heat but not a lot of complaints, justin turner that famous red bearded first baseman said he would definitely prefer playing in the heat than the snow. both are warm weatherea

shouldn't affect them that much. the biggest effect could be on the baseball which travels much farther in heat than cold weather. >> not many people foe that. >> baseball science for you. >> the astros hot offense. don't let the frame fool you. little 5'6" jose. tell people how great he is. >> the shortest player in the big leagues. he is 5'6", probably a nudge shorter, maybe 5'5" but probably has the biggest bat and heart. the heart and soul of that astros team. he also slugged three home runs against the boston red sox. this guy is a monster having a huge postseason, now, i want you to see this picture of him against aaron judge. that's his biggest challenger for the al mvp. he's more than 13 inches and outweighs him by 120 pounds. >> a great pic. matt, enjoy despite the heat u's have a good time.

>> no one should be surprised by jose. >> no, not at all. back to ginger. >> that heat is just all because of a strong case of the santa ana winds so that offshore flow also causing the red flag warnings. remember, when you take the humidity down like that and it's that hot, you have really high fire danger for much of southern california. the other thing i want to mention aside from offshore winds, it was 102 in l.a. 99 breaking a record in san diego. some of those gusts could go 30 plus miles per hour as the temperatures soar above 100 again.

alone, you're either a suspect or a potential victim. >> reporter: the three victims gunned down less than half a mile apart. two, benjamin mitchell and anthony naiboa killed near bus stops. the third victim, monica hoffa was walking to a friend's home, her body discovered in an empty lot. america's most wanted host john walsh spent 25 years chasing down fugitives. he's caught 1400 and knows firsthand what it takes to apprehend a suspect. >> we always solve these things when the public gets involved. >> reporter: walsh says he sees similarities between these shootings to the d.c. sniper shootings. john allen muhammed and low malveaux critically wounding three others. >> why this killer reminds me of the beltway sniper and d.c. serial killer is it seems to be a person that comes out at night to kill. it's someone killing for the thrill of it. >> reporter: with halloween just days away we're told the plans are in place,

presence. adults being asked to accompany their children but should note this killer doesn't go after people in groups but people who are alone. robin. >> keep that in mind, victor. let's bring in lenny depaul former chief inspector with the marshal service and dan abrams. lenny, you have a lot of experience here. what are investigators focusing on. >> right now, robin, it's a pretty chaotic scene. three people that have been killed in the past two weeks. they're knocking on door, q&a'ing people and signal intelligence looking at cc-tv if there's any video on the block, surveillance cameras in people's homes and whatnot. there's certainly skwausd knocking on door, k and a'ing and the streets like to talk so $25,000 reward out there. yeah, might get some intel that way. >> okay, well, what we see going on here and, of course, the

authorities are confident that there's a link here. >> so they've got to balance something which is they've got to balance neighborhood awareness with investigative integrity. meaning they want people to know and yet they don't want to give away too much and they've got to balance those two things. i don't think we know everything they know. here's what we do know. we do know the time of when it happened. we do know the consistent connection to buses. we know who the victims were and my guess is that they are looking for example for a connection to something with bus, a former employee, for example, they'd be looking at why are they targeting bus riders. is it totally random? maybe but that's going to be something they're looking at an i promise you there is something else that they have that they're not disclosing because what they want to do is prevent the crackpots who call call in in these high-profile cases and say, oh, i know something about

and they want to narrow it down to say, wait a sec, how did this person know that detail? that person really must know something. >> lenny knows this all too well. >> and not only that, it seems like it's more of a run and gun. not an armed robbery. it's close. he's not spending or she's not spending any time with the victims. run and gun. they're being ambushed. is this person on the bus. is he following them? you know, it's the million dollar questions right now. hopefully law enforcement is all over this and has the answers to these question, but right now they're chasing a ghost. >> that video that they have is critical. i mean, you know, we've seen the surveillance video. we don't know that this person is connected, right? but the fact that they have a video like this at their releasing and saying, hey, we'd like to talk to this person at the very least. that's a really big comply and athis comes from the first incident and have had it out there for some time and haven't been able to get a definitive link yet. >> it's such a tough spot when dan was alluding to because as a public you want as much

officers, you got to hold something back. >> you have to. i mean it's unfortunate. you can't be that transparent. you know, right now, residents in the area are sleeping with one eye open. they're scared to death. keep your lights on. keep your dog out back, whatever. if you see something, say something, obviously. but they can't get too much out there because they don't -- it's a juggling act right now. they're trying to put that puzzle together, connect the dots and don't want interference if you will at this point. >> hopefully they'll be able to connect those dots stand, lenny, dan. george. bill o'reilly speaks out about that bombshell new report. his $32 million settlement. and another harvey weinstein accuser comes forward, his former assistant. ♪ ("a bushel " by doris day) ♪ (whispering) i'm on the phone! ♪ towel please!

plus...what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i made a point to talk to my doctor. he told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis had both... ...and that turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, u may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots.

have 19-hour days on this series. how could i possibly continue to do that, especially in my early 40s and then i realized, you know, what a commitment it was just to the procedures. it was the first moment that was extraordinary and in my life where i thought maybe i'm just not going to do this. >> we know that age is the most significant factor in our ability to get pregnant and everybody knows about the biological clock and the ticking really starts to get louder as we get closer to 40 but by 45, the ticking is deafening. >> reporter: cattrall saying she still feels ma term but has found an outlet for that. >> that's when i started mentoring young actresses in particular. that's where i thought i have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom, but a mom and an auntie and a friend. >> reporter: her role on the show winning her

governments on whether they're worth the price tag. >> the anger is the fact that 24 states in this country have prohibited the adoption of this at a local and state level. that's what makes me angry. >> reporter: we start in this room with a sprinkler and light the couch on fire. >> there's your plate. >> reporter: at three minutes the plate covering the sprinkler pops off and it's activated. >> that's your activation. >> reporter: set to go off when the temperatures reach 155 degrees. the result, the room covered in water and leaking to the first floor but the fire damage contained to the couch only. now, the room without sprinklers. at almost five minutes in take a look. the room without sprinklers side by side with the room with sprinklers. >> it's going to take six, ten minutes to depending on how close you are to the fire station. 900 degrees at the ceiling. 350 degrees at the floor. >> can you crawl out of there. >> you can't crawl out of there. you're not

including the basement and garage but grog says you can't put a price on her family's lives. >> you can replace belongings but you can't replace a life. >> as we were saying, george, it all comes down to money, period. seems a silly thing but adding $6,000, $8,000, $10,000 to a home that's a lot but sprinklers are designed -- they do save property but supposed to give you enough time to get out of the house and in that regard they absolutely do work. >> that is important. t.j., thanks very much. to ginger. >> it is time for your "gma" moment. a little smile for you. you know kids they emlate what you do most. well, camden, a 1-year-old loves watching grandpa and grandma drink coffee and this is what they look like when they drink coffee. they get into it. he goes all the way back. isn't that sweet? that's from charlotte, north carolina. we love to see those. we want to see yours. go to my facebook page, put your pet, your family, anybody who makes you smile or laugh out

i want to ask you a question. so after the dance last night you tweeted, mr. nick lachey, you are the spirit of the show. thank you for every single minute of giving it your all. sounds like you suspected that you might be going home. >> i did. you know, obviously you never know for sure 100% but i feel like because we were in the bottom two, i think it was three weeks in a row or something like that. i feel like it was probably our time. but he is -- he really is the spirit of the show. not just about a dance competition. it's everything else. it's your personality. making people fall in love with you at home. >> showing you're not afraid to expose yourself, to be vulnerable. >> it's about having fun and learning how to dance in honestly i had a blast -- my favorite part of the whole process was going to work with her every day in the studio, just grimy and sweaty and had such a blast together. that really was the highlight for me so i enjoyed every second. >> but you just said it going to work every day in the studio same time

[ applause ] and we're not going to use the last name, it's going to be george 2020 and i'm taking over his slot so we're announcing that today. so -- >> big news story. >> he's going to run for president and i'll be a "good morning america" regular. how is that? dr. dennis leer which without a tie, thank you. i am a doctor. >> all right. >> i'm ray celebrity -- are you a celebrity doctor, a fake doctor, celebrity -- >> i think i am. >> really? i hate that. it's true. they give it to anybody, right? so i got one from my alma mater and emerson college and i did well there and graduated with a

then when i got famous they gave me a celebrity doctor at and it is real. you get it framed and everything, right? so -- >> actually wear a white coat here. you're really taking it quite seriously. >> i take it seriously. i called a good friend, michael j. fox, mike fox who's like -- yeah [ applause ] so i was so puffed up. at first i called my mom. she's like oh, my god. my son is finally going to be a doctor. my irish immigrant mom. big move and mike, i said you're not going to believe this. i'm going to be a doctor. he said, welcome to the club. i go, what do you mean. mike didn't even finish high school, okay. he was on "family ties" when he was like 16. he said, i have eight doctorates because they just hand them out to famous people. great. >> we'll get you another one. >> now i'm upset. >> spreeing of handing things out, no, but i'm going to give you a fr

>> i'll tell you what i think -- don't applaud. please. this is -- i just want to say something about fruitcake. i'm irish. i had aunts that used to make these things and i play hockey. they last longer than hockey. these are not food. you can throw this at somebody in an argument and hurt them, okay. this is the most thoughtless gift you could give to a person. this is like walking outside and going, hey, a rock, let me give it to robin. merry christmas. >> that was -- you just proved the point, fruitcakes are known as the most thoughtless gift. >> horrible and have you ever tasted one. >> no, i have not. >> just once. >> i have not. >> they're horrible. no, no. >> the reason i'm talking about this, target is actually trying to combat people receiving gifts they don't like and saying a feature called gift now, sends an e-mail to your recipient. they can either accept the gift you've chosen for them

entirely different gift. what do you think about that? >> before they ship it you can say, no, thanks, i don't want to fruitcake i'll take socks. >> i think it's brilliant. i'm tired of my kid, adult, 27 and 25. i know it's a cliche when they say what do you want. i say, this rancwrench. then they buy me sog i don't want and don't get the socks or wrench. >> so now you can change it. >> i do like it. i think it's good. >> is it already up and running for the holidays? >> but dr. denis leary, this is his new book out right now and, you know what, we have been -- >> can we say the title. >> you can say it. >> we can't say all of it. >> so i'll say it. so you won't get in trouble. >> look, we blocked it out, the last word. >> it's called "why we don't suck." hang on and how

to stop being such partisan little -- rhymes with stitches. what are you doing here? i can see it's on the book. are you blurring it out. >> blurring it out right there. you did start with a warning. >> i start the book with a warning. listen, here's how i wrote the book because i -- i voted for hillary clinton but i didn't want to, okay. i thought she was a terrible candidate. >> they don't know what to clap for. [ laughter [ laughter ] that's like, donald trump, i didn't vote for donald trump obviously. i knew donald trump. he did a cameo on an abc sitcom i did years ago called "the job." he also did a tinge on "the apprentice" for my foundation. he was a nice guy. he was generous. he was on time. he knew his lines when he had them memorized but he was a different color. he was white. he was actually -- he made me look like i was a dark skinned

different guy. but he -- whatever you want to say about trump, he has changed the game. so after the election i did -- i do this concert every year for the cancer foundation at t.d. garden. this year it's november 18th. [ applause ] yeah. so four days after the election, i did a concert and what i basically did was go up and stage and vent against hillary and against trump and the audience was explosive so people -- i could tell they had -- half voted for hillary and half voted for trump so to me i thought i got to write ray book about it because it got more and more divisive and nothing is getting done. so in trump's world which he's changed the game, celebrities can now become president so i think we have to look at it that's why i said george 2020. weed to to stop -- yeah, let's change the process. i want to have -- talk about so you think you can dance or "dancing with the stars" we should have a reality show to elect the next president. >> someone said we already did

i mean, because the debates suck. we don't learn anything at the debates so i say you have a 13-week reality show called "president idol" as howard stern was calling it or i call it "america's got leaders." four celebrity judge answer have all these people that want to run for 1 week, give them tanks, make them dance, sing, whatever you want to do and on november 2nd or 7th we vote by phone. that's it. no electric tort college. that's it. the winner is the winner. [ applause ] i mean i think that's the future, you know. >> something to think about. >> it's so scary. nick lachey would be a great presidential candidate on that show. i'm telling you. justin timberlake could be president. i think we need a woman. i want oprah. >> yay. >> there we go. >> i want oprah. >> there you go. >> because --s if. [ applause ] oprah would be so great because you know every three weeks she'd give us free stuff. you know what i mean. >> that wouldn't suck. >> that would be great. that would be awesome.

it starts with the election and just want to remind i'm out to make people laugh their asses off but i want to talk about racism. all the stuff that was so divisive that's still happening, racism and sexism and all that stuff and make people laugh about how twisted we have been in the last couple of years. >> and that we don't suck. >> and we don't suck? that is nice and remind ourselves how great of a country we are and like my democratic friends have lost their sense of humor. my republican friends have lost their sense of humor and nothing is getting done. look at the carvilles. no, no, no. you don't want me to be president. i'd be impeached within four months. all i would do can just a free beer for everybody. >> no fruitcake. >> no fruitcake. no fruitcake. >> but you can doesn't "why we don't suck," it's out today. out today. [ applause ] >> are we done?

back here on "good morning america," i found a couple of cute kids right there. they're from england. wanted to warn you it's going to rain. a lot in some places. a quick look at what's going to happen. that's by 5:00 p.m. training thunderstorms could cause flash flooding in connecticut, massachusetts, watch out for that tonight. isolated tornadoes and even damaging wind gusts.remains in 6am for western counties. - rain ends before sunre

- cooler tomorrow; coolest thursday - chilly rain sunday - dry & cool for halloween today: decreasing clouds. warm, but less humid. highs: 72-75 winds: sw 5-10 mph t >> this weather brought to you by l.l. bean. amy and george, let's head up to you. >> get inside. it's been nearly 50 years since dianne lake, the youngest member of the manson family lived with him in his notorious cull and now breaking his silence with you, amy. >> in fact, lake has a new book "member of the family" and talks about how she eventually helped put charles manson behind bars. his name has been synonymous with evil for nearly 50 years. charles manson, the cult leader who turned the summer of love into a season of killing directing his followers on a murderous spree in the summer of 1969. >> manson actually gave you all knives. >> yes, he did.

stabbing lessons. >> yes, he did. >> is charles manson an inherently evil person? >> i think he was used for evil. >> reporter: and this may be his least likely family member. dianne lake, today she is a churchgoing mother of three but in the '60s her parents were hippies when she met charles manson, now she is telling her whole story in a new book. reading your book it seems as though you meet charles manson and within moments he's bedding you. >> it seemed very natural and loving. >> you were 14. >> i was 14. >> he was how old? >> he was probably 34. i believe he's 20 years older than i am. >> are you attracted to him? >> he was cute. impish, you know, fun. >> can you describe what drew you to charles manson, what it was about him? >> he made

were his one and only love. you know, and, yes, there were other girls but we all -- we all shared him but he made you feel really special. >> did you love him. >> yes. i did. >> did he love you? >> i always thought he did. now i'm not so sure. >> for two years she lived with manson's so-called family befriending the people who would eventually become infamous killers. >> and they really were your family? >> and they really were my family, yeah. >> did you ever see a dark side to any of them? why were they there in the manson familia family. >> i think we were all misfits looking for love and affection. >> it began with talk of love and peace and an entire hippie movement and then it turned dark and charlie started talking about helter-skelter, a race war. how concerned were you when you saw that evolution? >> it didn't feel

the evidence seemed to be overwhelming that this is the way the world was going, that this -- these were true prophecies. >> did you think that he was the second coming of christ, that he was a messiah-like figure? >> yes, i did so it's bizarre to think that we could have ever believed it. but we did. >> did you have any idea that something evil was brewing? >> not -- not really within the family. >> she knew nothing she says of the plan to kill and yet over the course of two days in august of 1969 leno and rosemary labianca, steve parent, alby gail folger, wojciech frykowski, jay sebring and actress sharon tate had all been brutally murdered. they gave you the gory details. >> i got gory details and what i remember is that they gave me the gory

amount of glee or almost like bragging, i mean, which just made me feel even worse. i mean it was like what? >> you ultimately sat in court looking right there at the man you worshipped, the man you loved, charles manson and you testified against him. can you describe how that felt. >> my biggest fear was that i was going to succumb to that feeling of loyalty that i had for him and that he was going to mesmerize me, but he didn't. >> the spell was broken. >> the spell was broken. >> as for why she wrote this book now, dianne says it's been healing after nearly 50 years to finally tell her story. >> i feel very unburdened and i feel untethered from the shame of being

person who has become the, you know, icon of evil. >> remarkably she told no one other than her husband about this. all of her friend, family, three children, no one knew about this. >> started a brand-new life. >> exactly. she completely changed her name and changed her life but now she's speaking out and "member of the family" is out today. you can see for of my interview with
