7:02 am
patriots hometown of foxborough with the latest. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the nfl deflate-gate continues. they could have a decision soon. as super bowl media available begins this morning, the world eagerly waits to see how patriots head coach bill belichick and his three-time super bowl winning quarterback tom brady will respond to the series of new allegations that the patriots may have tampered with footballs before. sources telling espn the indianapolis colts complained during this regular season game on november 16th after colts safety mike adams intercepted two balls he thought were deflated. the patriots quarterback talking about it during his 2011 interview while joking about tight end rob gronkowski.
7:03 am
>> he spikes the ball and deflates the ball which i love. >> reporter: as for sunday's game lead sources tell espn that 11 of 12 footballs the patriots used to beat the colts were underinflated by two pounds per square inch. the nfl telling abc news the balls were properly inspected and approved two hours and 15 minutes before the game. experts say the only time the patriots could have deflated the balls was in the minutes before kickoff or during the game on the sidelines with cameras watching so i wanted to see how long it would take to do just that. >> just like that. what's that three, four seconds? >> right. >> reporter: he sports science tackling another question. does an underinflated ball actually help? >> a typical nfl player whether throwing or receiving could apply roughly 12 lyly the ball. >> reporter: they've taken on the aura of an evil empire with
7:04 am
headlines blaring, the patriots should be disqualified from the super bowl and deflating the ball be ♪ most, but this is the pats. however, don't tell that to the people of boston. >> our teams are the best teams and for somebody to condemn the patriots they're idiots. >> that the balls were deflated or not inflated who cares. >> reporter: overnight colts quarterback andrew luck addressing deflate-gate for the first time. >> sort of energy you know is sort of sucked out of you. you do feel deflated. >> i appreciate the use -- >> oh. >> reporter: brady was among a group of quarterbacks who successfully lobbied the nfl to let teams use their own footballs on offense. while many say deflating it two pounds barely makes a difference others say the patriots did it intentionally it's about playing the game the right way, robin. >> okay ryan. we'll bring in espn network football analyst jesse palmer former quarterback in the nfl
7:05 am
and, of course with the florida gators and our michael strahan. look at our crew. they are waiting to weigh in. people are just cash dance get enough. jesse, as a qb what real difference does it make? >> this is an inflated football and this is a deflated football and the biggest advantage in this game playing in cold weather, wet weather like terp in the afc title games allows the football to squeeze it harder and gives you more control and accuracy when throwing downfield. it's easier to catch. i think it's also easier to carry for ball carriers. harder to fumble when you're carrying this football. those would be the advantages patriots may have had. >> every team -- people don't understand and thinking respect the colts playing with the same ball no. >> the kickers have their own separate balls, as well. from a defensive standpoint if i get a shot on you there is a great opportunity to strip the ball away unless you're able to really grip it a lot better. it does make a big difference
7:06 am
and think this is something that when you look at just in the spirit of the game that if it was done it's not in the spirit of the game. >> how would you feel? how would you feel if you're on the field and this happens? >> as a fan -- as a football observer someone who covers the sport i don't think the colts would have won the game anyway. as a fan it is -- it is -- it puts a damper on the win. it puts a damper on the patriots and this is somebody where the owner, one of the most revered owners in the league and the coach -- >> that's the thing. on the field i don't think this was that big -- they won it 45-7. it wasn't because of deflated footballs. they ran better and tackled better and blocked better. they were the better team. the bigger picture is ethic cheating and keeping the integrity. >> the colts said the same thing. this is when our studio jumps in. it does matter. it does matter. i mean yes, it doesn't affect the outcome of the game but what -- hearing from a lot of parents especially mothers saying what kind of message --
7:07 am
>> if you ain't cheating you respect trying. that's a terrible message. >> what happens to cheaters don't prosper. >> i think everybody loses in this. i think any time the integrity of cheating comes up it's a black eye for the nfl much it's black eye for the new england patriots. what about the referees that never spotted the football? they touched the ball every play. if the football was really deflated this much, someone is spotting a football. you got to stop the game. that's never been brought up. the referees are at fault just as much as -- >> let's let the every man -- >> it's not right. >> i could have won that game. >> the nfl says it's a $25,000 fee for altering a game ball fine so it's a misdemeanor, right? >> wearing a patriots sweatshirt. >> biased opinion. >> funny. even in that piece, it's not a
7:08 am
big deal. he's a patriots fan. nothing in spirit of the game it is a big deal. as we were saying earlier some people say, well why are they even playing? they should be out of it completely. i don't think that's going to happen but at some point there has to be rules and standards set so this doesn't happen again. this cannot continue to happen especially with one team being accused of so much >> that's right, michael, jesse. >> we've never cheated. >> no. because we were never trying. >> always good at that. george. >> cannot wait to see what the nfl does about this. we turn to that blast of winter dumping record snow in the south. more than a foot in some areas and possible nor'easter targeting millions this weekend, ginger tracking it all. >> yeah that's more than a foot in amarillo texas, overnight. look at those trees heavy with all that snow. video too. they had four inch per hour snowfall rates. that is incredible. they haven't had this much snow in almost two years. and it's almost three times their monthly average. so yes, snow still falling in west texas but will start to become all rain from houston into new orleans.
7:09 am
that's the heavy rain going into overnight or early friday and friday into saturday a wet one for atlanta up the coast and this is what we're watching. if it grabs enough cold air you may have freezing rain and snow mixed in. the track is the biggest issue and we will be tracking it for the coming days and giving you more detail especially tomorrow. heavy rain i can promise you tallahassee back to houston. george. >> okay ginger thanks. we turn to that navy captain just fired from his command at the naval base at guantanamo bay. officials say they lost confidence in captain jon nettleton as they investigate charges about an affair with an employee's husband who was found dead in the bay less than two weeks ago. martha raddatz is tracking the story. good morning. >> reporter: it began when the coast guard discovered the body of 42-year-old christopher tur, a civilian who worked at the navy exchange in the waters off the base. his wife laura had reported him missing the day before. it's unclear exactly how he died. but officials tell abc news that it was in the course of the investigation they learned that
7:10 am
laura tur was allegedly having an affair with captain john nettleton. nettleton has been commander of the base for more than two years. nettleton is a helicopter pilot by training who did a tour in iraq and numerous other deemployments. laura tur is the director of the fleet and family services center at the base where she and her husband had lived, george since 2011. >> okay martha thanks very much. a lot of questions still to answer. >> all right, george. now the latest on prince andrew fighting back against charges he had sex with an underage girl. new details directly from his accuser are coming out now in court documents as the prince makes his first public appearance since the scandal broke at a conversation in switzerland and terry moran is there with that story. >> reporter: this morning, here in davos, prince andrew surrounded by security head down making his first public appearance since this swirling sex scandal erupted. >> good morning, sir. >> reporter: and refusing to break his silence. he is the second son of queen
7:11 am
elisabeth, fifth in line the duke of york a randy andy as the tabloids dubbed him long ago but these are sordid allegations. in a sworn affidavit released wednesday, this woman virginia roberts alleges she had sex with the prince three times starting when she was 17. she says she met prince andrews who she calls andy in march of 2001 in london the night this photo was taken in her affidavit. she says she engaged in sexual activities with him that same evening. roberts alleges two other sexual encounters with prince andrew one in new york city that spring and another in the u.s. virgin islands when she was around 18. and she says it was prince andrew's former friend billionaire jeffrey epstein convicted in 2008 of soliciting young girls for sex who trafficked her, forcing her into having sex with the prince and many other powerful men including politicians and business executives. >> this is probably a pr matter rather than a legal matter.
7:12 am
but there are potential legal risks here for him. in the virgin islands if you're under 18 and you have sex with someone more than five years older, that's considered statutory rape. >> reporter: buckingham plastins to deny the claims telling abc news any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue. >> whether these allegations are true or not, the chickens are coming home to roost. >> reporter:le royal family tries hard not to answer these in public but the longer it goes on the harder it will be for prince andrew to maintain his silence and to do things like this, represent britain around the world. robin. >> all right there, terry, thanks. we turn to you to new details on airasia flight 8501 now reports of warning alarms screaming in the cockpit and important questions still out there about what exactly what went wrong. abc's david kerley reports from reagan national airport. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. we're just getting snippets and comments from the indonesians
7:13 am
who had the black boxes for nearly ten days all as we try to piece together this puzzle of flight 8501. this morning, six more bodies have been recovered from the waters of the java sea, some still buckled into their seats. this morning still no indication whether it was the pilot or the plane's computer that may have contributed to this crash. >> we don't know if the computer in this airplane is involved or not but if it is this is unprecedented for the airbus a320 family. airbus stands to be concerned with what happened in the case as do the nypdens but want to see an international consortium working on them not just them. >> reporter: chaos in the cockpit. at last report officials say only half the airasia cockpit recording has been transcribed because there's so many sounds and alarms blaring over the pilots' voices. unnamed source quoted in the french press saying in the moments before the fatal crash, the jet was in essence screaming at the pilots. >> stall, stall. >> reporter: jetliners do alert pilots.
7:14 am
sounding the alarm when something is wrong. according to indonesian investigators the airasia airbus a320 was flying in severe weather and climbing three times faster than normal which could have caused it to lose lift and stall falling to earth. the alarm to pilots sounding something like this. >> stall, stall. >> reporter: it all could have taken only 3 1/2 to 4 minutes full of terror to fall out of the sky. safety experts want answers sooner rather than later on whether this may have been involved and contributed to this crash. why? because changes can be made and think about it. today thousands of passengers will be getting on a320s for a flight. >> we need transparency there. thanks very much. to amy with today's other top stories. a big fire in new york. that's right still going, in fact george. good morning, everyone. we begin with that state of emergency declared overnight as that massive fire engulfed a large apartment complex in new
7:15 am
jersey. up to 1,000 people fleeing their homes. authorities closing nearby schools, hours later the fire still burning at this hour. abc's gio benitez on the scene. >> reporter: good morning to you. there is so much smoke here you can still smell it all the way in manhattan. miles away across the hudson river as we take a look at these unbelievable images of that fire we can tell you that hundreds of people are now homeless. fire crews had a hard time because of the wind and cold overnight. so many people live in this massive complex, even the announcer for the new york yankees losing his home and cell phone video shot during the fire shows large sections of the building falling crashing to the ground. incredibly and this is the headline no one was hurt here. investigators are still looking into what started this fire. but nearby schools have been closed for the day because roads are just inaccessible here blocked off and crews, as you can see behind me crews are
7:16 am
still dousing those hot spots, amy. >> all right, incredible pictures there, gio, incredible everyone made it out safely. thank you. the former ferguson, missouri police officer who shot and killed michael brown is expected to be cleared by the justice department. federal prosecutors are likely to recommend that no civil rights charges be filed against darren wilson but attorney general eric holder will have the final say. new allegations of excessive force after another deadly police shooting in new jersey during a traffic stop. officers ordering the passenger not to move but he is later shot when he pushes the door open while apparently raising his hands. police say there was a gun in the car. well the deadline is fast approaching in that hostage crisis overseas. isis militants are threatening to kill two japanese hostages unless japan pays $200 million by early tomorrow morning. japanese officials say they are trying to communicate with isis but have heard nothing. and rebel fighters in yemen had reached a peace deal with
7:17 am
the american-backed government to end a violent standoff in the capital. the rebels had been holding yemen's president captive. jeb bush and mitt romney have reportedly agreed to meet privately this week. insiders tell "the new york times" it could mean they might not run against each other. what's gotten into will ferrell. during halftime last night's lakers/pelicans game he slammed a basketball into a cheerleader's face and knocked her out. the crowd was in shock. security in their yellow jackets rushing in grabbing the actor by the arm, sweeping him off the court. it was so dramatic and, of course it was because it was all part of a shoot for for rill's upcoming movie with mark wahlberg called "daddy's home." >> so that was a stunt woman. >> yeah. >> i didn't know you were supposed to laugh at that. >> you thought will maybe had gone off the deep end.
7:18 am
>> when he punched the baby in anchorman, it's one step away from that. >> stunt woman and underinflated basketball. >> oh, there you go, george. >> never, robin. >> never, never, never. oh boy this weather all around. >> an inch or two around washington, d.c. and south jersey now that storm moved off. i wanted to give you an idea of what's happening here. that clipper gone but we are drying out and certainly staying cool behind it. at least dry for the next two days remember saturday is the day we're watching that potential nor'easter. 32 for pittsburgh today. buffalo goes to 28. detroit, 31 and grand rapids, 32. you know who is warming up? everybody west of that storm. los angeles gets into the 80s for the weekend, denver goes from the 30s up to the 60s by the time we reach our sunday so things are looking up. back out to the southwest.

7:31 am
first two trials but both convictions were thrown out. his children have been standing behind him throughout. abc's matt gutman has that story for us. >> reporter: on september 11th, 2001 the wife of millionaire businessman cal harris vanished. michele harris' van was found at the foot of the family's driveway but there was no trace of the mother of four. >> this is just an absolute living nightmare. nobody should have to go through this. >> reporter: but with the couple going through a nasty divorce, suspicion quickly fell on cal harris. >> i knew they were focusing on me. i had been completely cooperative with them. >> reporter: police scoured the family's 250-acre property in upstate new york but never found michele's body or a murder weapon. the investigation dragged on for four more years until 2005 when cal harris was arrested for the murder of his wife. >> it was a shock. we knew there wasn't any evidence so we didn't know how
7:32 am
they could possibly get an indictment. >> reporter: at his first trial prosecutors argue that tiny amounts of blood found in the harris home suggested michele had been attacked there by her husband. a jury found cal harris guilty of second degree murder but before he could be sentenced, a new witness came forward with new information. claiming to have seen michele arguing with a man who was not her husband on the day she disappeared. leading the judge to throw out that guilty verdict and in the new trial, cal harris was again found guilty. and shockingly that conviction was overturned as well by an appeals court. today 13 years later harris' third trial begins. did you kill michele? >> absolutely not. absolutely not. and the fact that i'm sitting here and having to go through this is just a horror show. >> reporter: but two juries have found you guilty. >> two juries that haven't gotten all the information. >> what the jury will say when they take a look at the entire case is that the police
7:33 am
investigation was wanting and that there were other leads that the police should have followed up. had they followed those leads, the case might actually be solved. >> reporter: standing by him him and michele's four children who believe their father did not kill their mother. >> did you ever ask him what happened that day? >> no absolutely not. >> why? >> we didn't have any doubt. he wasn't involved. >> reporter: for "good morning america," matt gutman abc news new york. okay matt thanks for that. we turn to realtors behaving badly. one caught on camera taking things from a home she was supposed to be showing. not the first time we've seen this happen as linzie janis reports. >> reporter: she may look right at home but police say the woman rifling through the pantry is actually virginia realtor sara reeves allegedly using her easy access to this upscale home to steal prescription drugs. they say reeves takes the bottle into the kitchen pouring the
7:34 am
pain medicine into her own container, then putting the bottle back. surveillance video also capturing this possible clue. reeves walks into the home wearing a coat and hat but only puts on those yellow gloves once she's inside. those gloves preventing fingerprints maybe but not preventing reeves from being caught red-handed by the homeowners. >> you trust the people that come into your house and it was just kind of shocking. >> reporter: randy and emma say they just installed cameras after some jewelry went missing during an open house. >> i called the police department and it was highly illegal activity that she was involved in. >> reporter: reeves now charged with felony possession of a narcotic and larceny and is not the only realtor accused of behaving badly. >> realtor accused of a despicable crime. >> stealing. >> stealing. >> stealing. >> reporter: these agents caught on camera stealing jewelry in arizona and pilfering, yep, prescription drugs in florida.

so how do you make sure your realtor is less like these guys and more like well "modern family's" phil dunphy. >> i've been in your house when you weren't home. i'm not a burglar. i'm a realtor. >> reporter: experts say check with other customers. were they happy then research online. look for recent reviews on zillo and yelp. what about other realtors like reeves who wasn't the listing agent for the home? experts say consider asking your agent to be present at all showings. a trusted set of eyes to prevent a scene like this. for "good morning america," linzie janis, abc news, new york. >> crazy. >> she had good suggestions. now to amy in the social square with "the speed feed." >> good morning. it's the story dominating everyone's feed trending on twitter this morning, deflate-gate. even indianapolis colts cornerback darius butler tweeting nfl so we get to play

medical editor dr. richard besser joins us with more on this. good to see you, rich. jen diagnosed in her 20s. not uncommon is it? >> unfortunately, it's not but every time you hear one of these stories, it's really a tragedy because when a child doesn't learn that they're having -- that they have a learning difference it can lead to problems with self-esteem. they can think they're not smart but there's absolutely no connection between intelligence and dyslexia but that's not how children feel when they're not able to learn in the same way as other kids. >> especially difficult for ang actress that has to read and memorize descriptions. >> children develop coping mechanisms so oftentimes you'll see they're able to take in information that they hear and memorize it and spit it back but as you were saying whoopi goldberg terrific actress has dyslexia. tom cruise suffers from dyslexia. there are people in every single field who have dyslexia and they've learned ways around that, so that it doesn't hole them back. >> channing tatum, as well has

"smart money, smart kids." fascinating issue. affects just about everyone. maybe because i'm a guy but i was surprised most of the people who keep the secret accounts are men. >> yes, well some men i think find power in money. for them it equals power so they want the control and be in control knowing they're taking care of their family and i find that money too, it's emotional so when you're not doing as well financially, it's easier to go and have these secret accounts and hide purchases. >> we all know couples have to get together on the issue of money after really talking about it as that couple did. but isn't it a good idea if you can to have a little bit of wiggle room a little financial independence on each side. >> i want there to be a meeting of mines and combine accounts and do a budget together. i want you to tell your money where to go so your major financial decisions are already made in the budget. and the thing is money is never just about money. so when you're agreeing on where your money is going you're agreeing on your goals in life on your dreams your fears but, yes, you do want some fun, so

the budget can equal fun so each person in the relationship needs some quote/unquote fun money. and this is allotted in the budget and talk about it ahead of time. for some couples it can be $25 or for others 100 or more and have this amount and if you need to buy hair spray, i don't have to call and ask for this. it's with your discretion to be able to use. >> if you discover the infidelity what's the best way to rebuild trust. >> number one, combine those accounts. that'll force communication. go a budget together. and embrace your differences. with the budget there's always a nerd and free spirit. one enjoys it one doesn't and forgive and move forward. >> great advice rachel. thanks. to michael. all right, thanks george. and time now for a sneak peek at "deals & steals." all about your super bowl party. tory johnson, take it away. >> one deal we'll tell you about right now. you and i were talking. you love to grill. >> yes i do. >> but you hate to clean. >> even more. >> okay so lift this up.
