last da vinci. the incredible work of art bringing people to tears and breaking records. now the world's most expensive painting. the big question this morning, who bought it? ♪ you would bought it? i'd like to be that person's friend. >> getting $450 million. get this, they're not even sure that's a real da vinci. and experts say it's kind of a fixer-upper. has some problems wit, as well. still, $450 million. >> when can i come see it, george? but, you know, we're going to begin, everybody, with that storm that's moving across the country bringing heavy rain and snow from the west to the northeast and this comes just as people are getting ready to travel for the holidays. let's go right to ginger zee who is tracking the system for us. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to you. thanksgiving just a week away so a lot of people have that travel on their mind and starting this

weekend and that's where problems will begin. they've already begun. you can see this is interstate 0 in california where spinouts were already happening. they had some snow. it's still happening now and it's going to be that slick road above,000 feet. you can see one to three feet or even up to four feet of snow in parts of the sierra. flood watches on the burn scar, gusts up to 65 miles per hour as we go into the rockies but when this thing moves east of the rockies, that's where a lot of us, the larger population gets impacted saturday, if you have flights out of chicago watch for that. the wind and rain, detroit too and as it moves east on sunday if you have a flight on sunday to get anywhere next week along the east coast you'll have wind gusts of some 40 to 60 miles per hour that will certainly affect flights, guys. >> it will. all right, ginger, thank you. now the latest on embattled senate candidate roy moore, defiant as calls grow for him to drop out of the race and as moore accusers step forward alleging sexual misconduct. president trump declining to answer questions about moore but his daughter ivanka sending a

message telling the associated press, quote, there is a special place in hell for people who prey on children. i've yet to see a valid explanation and i have no reason to doubt the victims' accounts. our chief national correspondent tom llamas following the developments in birmingham, alabama. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. a lot of new developments to get to. as you mentioned the pressure from washington is real and there are now even more allegations but despite all that, we're still talking to lots of roy moore supporters who still support him. they don't believe those accusers and they want to know why all of this information is coming out, nearly 40 years later. overnight, additional women coming forward saying roy moore sexually assaulted or badgered them when they worked at the local mall in gadsden, alabama. becky gray, 22 at the time said moore kept asking her out and would linger by the rest rooms. >> parents are dropping off their 12-year-olds and, you know, 13-year-olds,

14-year-olds, i mean, come on, so anyway i just thought that was really creepy. >> reporter: gena richardson also worked at the mall and says moore hit on her telling "the washington post," moore called her at her high school, gena, this is roy moore. i was like, what? he said, what are you doing? i said, i'm in trig class. richardson says moore later gave her an unwanted forceful kiss that left her scared. moore has denied all accusations of sexual misconduct. and this morning, is fighting back and trying to poke holes in at least one of his accuser's accounts of sexual assault. >> mr. moore attacked me when i was a child. >> reporter: after beverly nelson publicly accused moore of sexually assaulting her when she was 16, her attorney said this. >> has ms. nelson had any contact with roy moore since the incident? >> no. right? >> no, none. >> reporter: but moore's attorney say that's not exactly true.

>> as it turns out in 1999 ms. nelson filed a divorce action and the judge's signed was roy moore, circuit judge of etowah county. >> reporter: she said she never had any reason to set foot in moore's courtroom since the case was reconciled and only required the judge's signature. he said this proves she whe was flirting with her. >> he wrote in my yearbook as follow, to a sweeter, more beautiful girl, i could not say merry christmas, christmas 1977. >> reporter: his attorney demanding the yearbook be turned over to handwriting experts. >> look at those two 7s then look below at the 77 and i want to ask you, do you think it was written by the same person? >> reporter: we showed a copy of the inscription to our own handwriting expert who did

notice inconsistencies with the 7s but did say this when it came to the actual message about her looks and merry christmas. i don't have all the facts to make a 100% opinion but from what i've seen, it looks very authentic and genuine that he did write at least part of that note and signed his name. >> reporter: and this morning, there's yet another accuser, tina johnson says in 1991 she went to go see roy moore for a legal matter. she says moore kept commenting on her look, made her feel uncomfortable then at the end of the meeting grabbed her by the back side as she was leaving. moore, of course, has denied all of these allegations and any impropriety. >> we know he is determined to stay in the race and battle even those in his own party who are asking him, demanding he step aside. >> reporter: that's right, as senate republicans scramble to figure out a plan so he doesn't win overnight roy moore sent this tweet to senator mitch mcconnell. i want to put it up. he tweeted last night, mitch mcconnell, dear mitch mcconnell,

bring it on so clearly sticking in this race and sending a message to capitol hill, robin. >> that is clear. all right. >> let's bring in cecilia vega. senior congressional correspondent mary bruce. we heard from just about everyone now except president trump. >> reporter: he does not want to go there. i asked him point blank yesterday here at the white house do you believe roy moore's accusers? do you think he should step aside? he looked at me. he walked away. he did not answer this question. a bit of a caveat from white house aides talking about this. they say if, if this conduct is true roy moore should step aside. remember, president trump did not endorse roy moore in this race. he also has had his own issues with women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. he has strongly denied that, though so i am not surprised this is a topic the president does not want to talk about, it's hands down the elephant in this room here at this white house. he's got to address this at some point? we'll see how long he can handle that. crucial for them to pass the tax

bill as well. that seat could be crucial. i want to bring in mary bruce for for because, mary, what we're also seeing the first senate republicans saying they're a no on the tax bill. >> reporter: yeah, this bill could be in real trouble here. senate republicans can only afford to lose two votes if he want to get it down and one republican says he cannot support it. ron johnson of wisconsin says the bill favors big corporations over small businesses. and others like susan collins of maine have serious misgivings about the plan to include a repeal of the obamacare mandate concerned about what that could mean for americans' premiums. ron johnson says he wants to get to a yes, but, george, it's simply unclear if and how they'll address all these concern. >> when you change one part it could cause problems somewhere else. meantime, they are fairly confident that the house will pass their version of the tax bill. >> reporter: yeah, the house is expected to passion their version today bringing them one step closer to this legislative

win that they're also desperately hoping for up here but, again, the issue is how are they going to address these concerns and they still need to reconcile the significant differences here between the house version and the senate version and, george, they just don't have a lot of time left if republicans are hoping to wrap it up by the end of the year. >> cecilia, the president pushing hard he will go up to the house today. the question is what exact role will he play as these negotiations continue? >> reporter: well, this is basically a prevote rally to push this across the finish line. the white house wants his appearance to look like he is heavily involved accused of not being involved in health care. this is a win that this white house desperately needs. >> cecilia vega and mary bruce, thanks very much. robin. we turn to new details about that manhunt for a killer on the run who escaped from a mental hospital in hawaii. boarded a plane, fled to california now he's finally in custody again. thanks to an alert cab driver who may very well have saved lives. abc's gio benitez is here with that story. good morning, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning. we're now learning seven hawaii

state hospital employees placed on leave without pay. it's no wonder why officials were concerned. prosecutors once said he fit all the criteria of a classic serial killer. the hunt for escaped psychiatric patient randall saito which had authorities on the west coast on high alert was solved by a quick-thinking cab driver on a regular shift. >> i was like, oh, my gosh, he was in my cab yesterday. and i'm thinking, that could have been my life. >> reporter: that driver who asked us not to show her face alerting her dispatch who alerted police after saito requested another ride from the company. saito once acquitted of murder by reason of insanity after a woman's body was found stuffed into a car at a local mall made national headlines when escaped his psychiatric facility in hawaii and fled to california. investigators believe saito didn't escape without help. pointing to this cab ride to a waiting charter jet. >> the sooner we get there, the better.

i'm making a fly. that's why relationship where he has a packed bag filled with cash, a portable charger and a cell phone. >> i'm on my way. >> reporter: following the tip from the cab driver cops swarmed on the cab in this gas station parking lot in stockton, california. with saito back in custody, investigators are now focusing on how the patient considered to be extremely dangerous with a classic serial killer profile could have escaped from this honolulu psychiatric hospital where officials are suspending all visitation adding security staff and several employees relieved of duty without pay during the investigation. this same facility has reportedly seen 17 escapes in the last decade. >> this was premeditated. it was intentional. it was planned. and this is something that was not done by somebody who was suffering from any sort of mental defect or disability. >> reporter: and this morning, there are big questions about who saito was talking to on that cell phone. did he receive any help? where did all that money come

from to pay for the flights and cabs. we know his ticket to san jose was purchased online but still, george, so many questions. >> boy, there sure are, gio, thanks very much. we turn to what could be a major pedicle breakthrough to help diagnose and treat the brain injury cte. we've seen so many cases in the nfl, one of the worst aaron hernandez. it's always been diagnosed after an autopsy but researchers have now confirmed that they detected it in a living patient for the first time. chief medical correspondent jen ashton here to explain. what's the significance? >> this is the actual case report here. potentially big news in the process of diagnosing cte which as you mentioned can occur with severe or repeated traumatic brain injury. this time they used something called a p.e.t. scan which shows the brain activity as it uses glucose and found there was good correlation between that imaging test and then the findings of this patient on autopsy. in particular, the presence of towel proteins that clog the connections between nerve cells. >> one of the big question, would this test be readily

accessible to younger at wleets. >> not yet ready for prime time. need to do a lot more research. if you think about the steps of prevention, of brain injury, diagnosis and manageable treatment and cure the way we diagnose is critical. if it were as easy to diagnose cte as it is to diagnose a broken bone with an x-ray we could be a lot more aggressive with treatment. >> something to keep an eye on. jen ashton, thanks very much. >> michael. >> thank you, george. also this morning, those three ucla basketball players are now speaking out, apologizing for shoplifting in china. adrienne bankert is here and, adrienne, president trump was wondering are they going to give him credit for helping them in they did thank president trump and president trump responded you're welcome. he just tweeted to the three ucla basketball players saying you're welcome. go out and give a big thank you to president xi jinping of china and have a great life sounding like a sage. be careful, there are many pitfalls on the long winding road of life. he said they could face as much

as ten years in jail for what they did and though they're in trouble with their school big time, and they're in trouble with their coach, he's disappointed, those players clearly feeling extremely fortunate. they all say they're embarrassed for their actions. here's what liangelo ball said. >> i'd like to start off by saying sorry for stealing from the stores in china. i'm a young man. however, it's not an excuse for making a really stupid decision. i'd also like to thank president trump and the united states government for the help that they provided, as well. i'm grateful to be back home and i'll never make a mistake like this again. >> we know all three are saying they will never make a mistake like this again. >> they are very, very fortunate to be back home but we know they posted bail, $2200 but had to stay in a hotel room until this was resolved. facing any penalty here. >> they spent one night in chinese jail before bailing out and stayed in that hotel. back at home they have to earn their way back onto the court and will be suspended from the

team indefinitely according to the athletics department as ucla reviews the situation and won't be traveling with the team. won't be suiting up for games, at some point they might be permitted to go to meetings and practices but the athletic department says they'll focus on academics for now. >> one bad decision can change your life in they are three very lucky guys. >> oh, yeah absolutely fortunate. that work of art making history. a rare oil painting from the original renaissance man himself da vinci selling for a record $450 million at an auction. t.j. holmes, you know he's got all the details for us. >> robin, let me tell you what we're talking about called the male mona lisa and consider it the holy grail of old master paintings, rare da vinci only fewer than 20 da vincis are known to be out there expected to go around $100 million. but four bidders last night had a room full of people gasping as that number hit a historical high. >> welcome at 150 million on the

left. >> reporter: it began at the bargain basement price of $100 million. and then things got crazy. >> 160 is bid back to alex at 160 million. >> reporter: four buyers on the phone and one inside christie a auction house fought it out for the once in a lifetime opportunity to own leonardo da vinci's "salvator mundi." >> 200 million is bid. at 200 million. at 200 million. 200 million. please, 200 million is bid. 245 million. at $266 million. 268 million. you heard it, ladies and gentlemen. at $280 million. are we all done? at 350 million and looking for another bid, please, francois. at 350. >> reporter: the painting which depicts jesus is referred to as the last da vinci because it's believed to be the only painting by the artist still in private

hands. >> 400. >> 400 million. 400 million is the bid. francois, it is with alex rotter as 400 million. leonardo's "salvator mundi" selling and the piece is sold. >> reporter: 19 minutes after the opening gavel, the painting sold for $450 million. the highest price ever for a piece of art. the other record was 179 million for a picasso. this painting sold for 10 grand at auction just in 2005. they didn't know what they had. just 10 grand. >> the reaction of the crowd there even, woo! >> all the cell phones, capturing the moment in history. >> it was history? any idea who purchased this in somebody that got more cash than us laying around. [ laughter ] but it was -- >> i wasn't there in it was sold at auction for 127 million just a few years ago. so there was no way anybody

thought it was going to hit this number. so it's in the private hand, probably a billionaire somewhere, not a museum probably. likely. but when it comes back up for auction i'd be curious if it can sell for more. >> no, this guy bought at the top. >> some questions about authenticity we were talking about. >> let's go back to beginer.we , snowman county. you could see one to two feet in colorado rockies, and lake effect impact for pennsylvania and new york. that's for the weekend. local forecast in just a few seconds, first the windy cities brought to you by burlington. >> reporter: hi everyone, david

moments before 64-year-old ronald felton was killed early tuesday morning and believe it's the same person spotted on this surveillance video taken moments before the october 9th murder of benjamin mitchell and the same suspect also filmed running away from the crime scene moments later. >> same gait, same walk. maybe not the same jacket, definitely a hoodie. i don't believe in coincidence that the same person was around the same time that two people were murdered. >> this new video released as the fbi and police are going door to door in this florida neighborhood on edge. >> fbi. >> desperate to find the killer they believe might be linked to four separate murders in just five weeks. authorities believe the suspect may be hiding out locally. >> somebody who is familiar with the neighborhood who knows their way in and around. they're able to get away quickly. >> reporter: felton's murder comes after the murders of benjamin mitchell, monica hoffa and anthony naiboa, all four crimes committed within a half mile of each other.

each victim was walking alone in the pitch dark of night. >> he was a good guy. he was a good guy. >> reporter: investigators hoping to end the killer's spree before he strikes again. some serial killers have gone for decades before being caught. btk killer dennis raider killing ten victims over the course of years and the grim reaper killing ten women over two decades. >> i'm mad. this community is scared. our cops for them, this is personal. >> reporter: the reward is now up to $91,000. one resident told me that before this most recent murder on tuesday, he thought this was over. that the killer was gone. now they're left reliving this nightmare all over again, robin. >> yes, they are, thank you. joining us now retired chief inspector lenny depaul, he's here in the studio and abc's brad garrett. gentlemen, thank you again both for this. lenny, this is big. this video. what do you see?

>> the video speaks volumes. it's a huge piece of the puzzle for law enforcement in comparison to the october 9th video you had an individual walking down the middle of the street, it's 90 degrees. he has a coat on wearing a hood. he's captured in four separate video cameras that are streaming from homes. shots are fired and he's seen running back through the same set of four videos. fast forward monday morning 4:51. got the fourth vic on his way to church to feed the homeless gunned down in cold bloodshot in the back. they capture video a few seconds prior to that. luckily they got a guy same -- wearing the same description, a coat on zipped up wearing a hood. appears to be the same guy in the video but here's the home run. they have a key witness. they have an eyewitness to the shooting. >> that's one of the new very many, a key witness and for the first time calling this person in the video a suspect. >> correct. he's elevated now from they wanted him to come in if you remember on october 9th they asked for him to come forward. nobody shows up. it's been quiet for a month.

>> the witness that you were talking about that's come forward. >> the witness, he hears four to five shots and comes running out sees the victim falls and identified a tall, thin black male, 6'to 6'2", skinny wearing all black, coat zipped up with a hood and a handgun so definitely the same guy in the video and now in comparison to the october 9th video appears to the same person. >> it does. brad, what kind of psychological profile are investigators working up now? >> okay, this is a kid that's going to be from the neighborhood. he either lives there or has a long history there. if you notice in all of the video, lenny is referencing, he walks slowly many times like it's casual. he also is able to disappear into the community shortly after the shooting particularly after the last one which tells me he knows where to go hide, robin. and so the idea is you're going to have to focus on people he has touched in that community like social service, the juvenile justice system, et cetera, people who go in and

around the community and probably have touched him in some form or fashion. >> do you wonder the age of the suspect when you see that video? >> you know, it looks like a kid maybe in his teens or early 20s. it's really hard to say. but he's going to have a history someplace with social services, et cetera. and the key is, you're going to have to do these interviews in person. somebody out there knows him and they just don't want to -- don't want to tell us but you get them in your face and maybe they will. >> what do you think, lenny? >> it's scary. the residents are sleeping with one eye open scared to death. domestic terrorism is what they try to do. put the fear of god in somebody. what this person's m.o. is anybody's guess. $91,000 reward and videos in play. somebody has to know this kid. >> hopefully they'll come forward for the right reasons, lenny, brad, thank you very much. coming up an abc news investigation. complaints about slow and shoddy work to fix rental homes, water pouring from a ceiling and

national parks, they have received $6.5 million. subaru works with hundreds of local charities and by the end of this year they will have donated more than 115 millions dollars him we'll get to know more tomorrow. but first, let's get a check closer to home. >> reporter: all right, ginger, good deed. right now we have no rain on storm tracker 6 live west of reading. today's high, 58 degrees. clouds and sun, slight chance of an afternoon sprinkle or shower. the big story, it's milder and windy later. ging. we'll take it up a notch if you will with our triplet test lab that agreed to try three intensity workouts. how did they work? the differences? take a look. meet 24-year-old triplet, andrea, ariane and athena.

will their bodies respond differently to three workouts. >> hot yoga for athena. interval training for andrea and -- >> your fitness is not just how fast you can run, how strong you are, how flexible you are and how well you can put that together into move many. so we're trying to capture all of that. >> polly demille starts with a strength test. andrea holes a plank for 62 seconds. athena can hold it for 48 and aryanna for 35. next up a functional mobility test. they all have average scores with room for improvement. finally the most difficult test of all, the o2 max that measures the amount of oxygen their bodies are able to deliver to their muscles for energy production. all of the triplets maxed themselves out.

>> i'm dead g with that they kick off two weeks of high intensity training. it's hot yoga for athena working up a sweat while strengthening her core at bode, ncc. flywheel spinning classes andened ya takes it to the limit with intervalue training at fhitting room. so two sweaty weeks later how will their bodies have changed. really interesting stuff here. so great to have athena, arianna and andrea with chris powell, celebrity trainer creator of transform, an amazing app. congratulations on that. check that out. i want to get right into it, ladies. thank you to our crew tore name tags because we will need them. >> yeah. >> so, athena, correct, you did hot yoga. how did that challenge your body? >> well, i think the first thing was just getting used to the heat. it was over 100 degrees so, you

know, at first i thought i had had pass out a little bit. once i got past that it challenged me to gain more flexibility, my muscles were toned more and i was using muscles i never used before. >> sounds like a positive. >> so it was fun. >> drum roll, please. let's take a look at athena's numbers. all right. there you go. guys. big gains, chris. >> yes, yes. mobility and how long she could hold a plank but not so much in aerobic capacity. surprising to you. >> not at all. in fact these numbers are indicative of exactly what hot yoga offers. a lot of core strength. holding those planks but also body awareness, spatial orientation, lots of flexibility. which we saw in her mobility test. >> this is not to get the heart rate up. >> not at all. probably experienced that a little the not so much the heart rate. >> all right, so that's that and talk to arianna. you usually do light cardio. this is was a totally different two weeks. you did high intensity spinning. >> yes.

>> so do you feel like that was better for you? >> i feel like it definitely was better for me. i'm definitely not used to high intensity cardio at all. any cardio i did was just kind of a warmup so it was a big change for me and my lungs and my body were not used to it. but it was a huge change because my first class was such a struggle and with breathing. >> you felt like it was getting better. >> by the last class it was a lot easier to me, i could keep up and push myself. >> let's see how it worked. drum roll, here are the numbers. so very different results here, chris. >> you know, this is so textbook. because unlike yoga she doesn't do a lot of the core work and not doing a lot of mobility work. but a lot of cardio respiratory training and saw that with her vo2 max test with her aerobic capacity went up over 10% in two weeks and that's phenomenal in i running out of time. andrea, you did intensity training high intensity interval training. huge challenge. >> yes.

>> i mean, you said it was -- >> it was very challenging but i actually ended up loving it which i didn't expect. >> drum roll, please. let's take a look at the numbers. [ drum roll ] >> chris, your translation here. this is very -- i thought strange. >> well, it is but at the same time what we're looking at here is fatigue. now, of course, speaking with andrea before, she's a runner so jumping into high intensity training was exhausting so she's experiencing what we call neu neuromuscular and metabolic fatigue. i appreciate her enthusiasm and drove in four classes a week and going gangster but at the same time her body is broken down a little bit. give it two more weeks and you'll see those numbers go through the roof, absolutely. >> so hang in there, i guess. this is all, you guys all look great and alike as we all know but this is about healthy and isn't about losing weight so hang in there. you guys going to keep going. >> i think so. >> yeah.
