account. he says dzhokhar later asked him, can your car go out of state like new york? in court the defense hammering the point it was tamerlan who did the actual carjacking and who had the gun. when the defense asked if meng ever saw dzhokhar with the gun, he said no. now, besides that dramatic video they saw the autopsies of the police officer, the tsarnaevs brothers allegedly killed and visibly shaken. i saw as one juror teared up. for shook her head at the disturbing graphic photos. george. >> so dramatic. thanks very much. we turn now to that latest scandal in the secret service learning more about the two officers who drove on to the white house grounds late at night disrupting a crime scene after drinking at the retirement party of another agent. abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is tracking the fallout and joins us now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the secret service back under fire again amid allegations of a cover-up.

the president said to be disappointed at the latest allegations about secret service agents drinking during off hours and this morning members of congress outraged calling on the agency's new director to fix the agency. >> he's going to have to now put a high-powered microscope on the agency from bottom to top. >> reporter: and we're learning more about the agents involved. sources say one of the agents is a senior supervisor and the other, mark connolly has been a constant presence at the president's side for years as the second ranking agent on the presidential detail. abc news learned the agents were heading back to the white house after reportedly drinking at a retirement party for a colleague. then around 11:30 p.m. they slowly drove their unmarked car through crime scene tape bumping a barrier near the southeast entrance to the white house. the uniformed officers wanted to give the agents a sobriety test and possibly make an arrest but a supervisor allegedly told the officers to let the agents go.

the incident the latest in a string of major lapses from hiring prostitutes to that white house fence jumper and recently sat down with joseph clancy a veteran agent. to the critics in egg congress who day they wanted an outsider what say you? >> i'll earn their trust. >> reporter: but after these new allegations trust from a skeptical congress may be hard to come to. the director probably has one chance to get this right. >> no kidding. a lot of tough questions. thanks. to dan harris in today. amy's moved over and you're starting out with some volcano causing some trouble. >> this is a fascinating story. turning into a travel nightmare for americans hoping to get to a popular spring break destination. flights have been forced to turn back from costa rica after this massive volcanic eruption the biggest in that country in 20 years spewing ash into the sky closing the main airport. a flight from dallas was forced to turn around and others canceled. on the ground everyone within two miles has been evacuated.

here at home more than a dozen families evacuated after a landslide in west virginia. >> the power lines gone. the power lines. >> the force of the slide shaking the utility poles along that street. this man-made hillside collapsed only a few feet away from the runway at the airport in charleston, west virginia. you see the runway on the right side in the forecast -- sorry, on the right side of your screen much there is rain in the forecast which could further weaken the dirt. one house there has already been destroyed. a major development this morning in the scandal surrounding that racist video at that fraternity in oklahoma. the local chapter of sigma alpha epsilon, sae is now reportedly considering filing a lawsuit against the university of oklahoma high-profile attorney stephen jones tells abc station koco that sae is angry that the fraternity was closed and claims its members are being unfairly labeled as racists and bigots.

much more to come on this case for sure. an american health care worker infixed by ebola has just arrived at a hospital outside of washington, d.c. it's a high security containment facility in bethesda operated by the national institutes of health. the patient who volunteered at a clinic in the african nation of sierra leone will arrive on a chartered plane in which he or she is being kept in isolation. a spectacular show at cape canaveral, nasa launching this rocket sending four identical satellites into orbit. they're part of a billion dollar mission to study magnetic storms in outer space which have the potential to disrupt communication systems and the power grid here on earth. and finally, an excruciating story from california. the winner of a million dollar powerball jackpot has remained a mystery for months so in hopes of finding the winner lottery officials released this surveillance video of the mystery man buying the golden ticket and it worked. he saw himself on tv and came forward but guess what he lost

the ticket and he doesn't have a clue where the ticket is and the deadline for claiming the cash it passed last night. >> oh, no. >> so what happens to the money? the california public schools just won the lottery because they now get the cash. the guy who bought that ticket has declined to comment. my theory is he's too busy folding himself into the fetal position. >> he could just think of himself as a great philanthropist. >> a great way to -- >> yes. >> well thank you. >> i'm not sure it would work for me but i hope it works for him. now to prize winning author harper lee who shocked fans when her publisher announced a follow-up to "to kill a mockingbird." the state is investigating whether she was the victim of elder abuse. abc's paula faris has that story. >> reporter: she's the brilliant mind behind the pulitzer prize winning novel turned classic movie "to kill a mockingbird." >> you'll hear some ugly talk about this. >> reporter: but this morning a

new chapter for harper lee, "the new york times" reporting the state of alabama has responded to at least one complaint of alleged elder abuse. this after february's unexpected announcement that "go set a watchman," the sequel to "mockingbird" would suddenly be released in july. at the time lee released a statement through her publisher harper-collins saying "i am humbled and amazed this will now be published after all these years" but many were skeptical about whether the 8-year-old who reportedly suffered a stroke in 2007 was capable of consenting to the publishing decision. >> it's just wrong for somebody to take advantage of an elderly person. >> reporter: the alabama human resources department which investigates elder abuse telling abc news they cannot comment on whether there was or is an elder abuse investigation going on but the alabama securities commission which handles financial fraud tells us they spoke with lee at the hr

department's request determining that she makes her own digs and also appears aware of questions and decisions being made with respect to the people that surround her. lee's reps are not commenting this morning. a real-life story that's still a page turner. for "good morning america," paula faris, abc news, new york. >> all right. so many people looking forward to that new book. >> i can't wait to read it. >> thank you, paula. we want to turn to comedian will ferrell. taking the field for a good cosplaying not one but ten different baseball teams in one day during spring training. abc's t.j. holmes has our story. >> reporter: from news anchor -- >> i'm ron burgundy. you stay classy san diego. >> reporter: to figure skater. >> i think i broke my ankle. >> reporter: to race car driver. >> shake and bake buddy. >> reporter: will ferrell has worn many hats on the big screen but thursday the funny man traded all those in for a baseball cap.

good morning, america. and right now police in ferguson still searching for the gunman would opened fire injuring two officers. at least three people questioned but then released. and right now the 19-year-old charged with killing a las vegas mother of four pleads not guilty in court. a lie detector test taken by a bank executive who appeared to be held hostage is raising new questions. good morning, everyone. we have a lot to get to this morning including robert downey jr. playing a real-life superhero and dan will bring us that. >> amy, that's right. we love him on the big screen as iron man but for one little boy the shtick is not an act. we'll show you what the superstar did that will help change this little boy'sdan, thanks. we begin with the latest on the case of that mom in las vegas gunned down in front of

her home last month. the man charged with her murder appeared in court pleading not guilty in a case that looks more complicated than the first reports of road rage. abc's kendis gibson has the story. >> reporter: it's the first we're hearing from erich nowsch. >> how do you plead to count one murder with use of a deadly weapon? >> not guilty. >> reporter: the 19-year-old pleading not guilty thursday to three felony charges including the murder of las vegas mom tammy meyers. the deadly encounter beginning in this school parking lot last month. tammy was teaching her teenage daughter how to drive. but police say they were told nowsch thought the people in the car were looking for him so he called a friend to pick him up. tammy's husband says that's when they followed her and pulled up alongside. >> what did he say? >> it was along some of the line i'm going to kill you and your daughter. >> reporter: police reports show toomey got her older son armed with a gun and went looking for the suspects when they found them nowsch allegedly opened fire before chasing them back to

their home and police say firing that deadly shot into tammy's head. >> we are conducting our own investigations and some of those already appear to be bearing fruit. >> reporter: nowsch's lawyers speaking with abc news overnight about possible options for his defense. >> self-defense appears to be a very likely direction for us to go on this case. >> reporter: in another bizarre twist nowsch's lawyers confirm their client knew tammy meyers but would only say this about their relationship. >> there was interaction going on and potentially even funds being exchanged. >> reporter: as for the meyers' family tammy's husband firing off an impassioned facebook post overnight defending his family's name but say they will not officially comment until they see how the prosecution's case unfolds. for "good morning america," kendis gibson abc news los angeles. >> a lot of twists and turns here. dan abrams here for more on this and there does seem to be layers. >> so much seems to have changed

about what we thought we knew about this case from the beginning. but the question becomes how much does all of that matter legally? and the answer is maybe not that much. because -- >> why? >> the fundamental legal question is it self-defense and who shot first? and it sounds like the police believe they have evidence that the defendant shot first. now, what evidence could that be? first of all his own statements. it seems he was talking to friends and made a statement to the police. they may have physical evidence at the scene meaning shell casings or other evidence which suggests and this is a very important point you heard in the piece there that maybe he shot at the car before they got to the house first. >> that would be one thing but if he shot first does that end the case? >> no but it certainly is strong evidence. the only reason you'd be justified in shooting first would be if somehow you were reasonably in fear for your life. someone has a gun to your head and you shoot first you can probably claim self-defense but when you're talking about shooting from a car, it gets a lot harder to claim that.

so you've also got which is going to become important the testimony of the son himself, right. he was there. he witnessed this but the question is going to be why has this story evolved. >> how much does it matter that the family's story has changed so much. >> certainly matters as to their credibility and despends who has been saying this right? i mean we keep hearing that you know the family says. you've got to believe that a lot of these accounts are coming from the son because he was the one who was there. if his story has changed over time that would certainly impact his credibility. >> okay dan abrams thanks very much. >> okay. >> all right. now to a strange new twist in that bizarre case of an attempted bank robbery in connecticut. a bank executive saying masked men supposedly staged a home invasion and strapped him with what looked like a bomb. well now there are questions about his story after the results of a lie detector test were revealed. abc's gio benitez is here with more on all of that. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning. the big question right now did the so-called victim lie about

his involvement? he fails the polygraph and reportedly ends the police interview quickly after. detectives now wondering what's the real story? this morning, new details calling into question one man's story about a dramatic home invasion and attempt to rob a connecticut credit union. >> the s.w.a.t. team came. >> reporter: a new search warrant revealing matthew yussman may not have told police the full truth. failing a portion of a polygraph test he took the day of the incidents. the warrant saying the results of that test indicated that yussman showed deception on the relevant test question are you lying about your involvement in the home invasion? >> there's so many unanswered questions in this case it makes it very difficult to assess what is the truth and who is really lying? >> reporter: it's a sharp turn from just two weeks ago when police believed yussman to be a victim of a violent robbery attempt at a credit union where

he is the chief financial officer. after finding him outside the bank in his car with what appeared to be an explosive device strapped on him just maim claimed two men broke into his home, forced him to drive to the bank. yussman managing to call the ceo, telling him not to call police and demanding access to millions of dollars. >> i just received on my cell phone a call from one of our vps stating that he and his mom who live together is a victim right now of a home invasion overnight. >> reporter: new documents reveal this morning that yussman's mother valerie also told police her son was a victim of an armed assault when she found two armed men standing over her son, his hands tied behind his back the men moving her to the bedroom at gun point. he said just pane instructed him with a vault combination of not one but two bank branches. >> told me to have all the staff to leave the branch so nobody gets hurt. >> reporter: now since police

found yussman in the parking lot, no money was stolen and no one was hurt. the investigation is ongoing but no charges have been filed and no leads on those so-called hostage-takers. lots of questions this morning, amy and george. >> all right. >> bizarre, indeed. >> it sure has. thank you. to ginger with the weather? we're starting in southern california. a place like much of the west that says, well we didn't have a winter and now it feels like we're fast feels like we're fast fording through spring and going straight to summer. look at san diego california, los angeles will get into the 90s. the marathon on sunday in la had to be moved up because it's so hot. huma and san diego reaching into the 09s. gusty winds 20 to 30 miles per hour sustained. 45 gusts in a couple of spots. it's the opposite here in.
