7:08 am
you have a good memory, week ago this morning and i said hey, while we were here talking about the revel going bankrupt and those workers getting notice that it would close we said first casino that might close is one right next door to it, the show boat. we talk to some of the customers there who were told to use all of their comps within 60 days because they weren't going to be good after that. we also mentioned a lot of the long time people here were worried and there was ominous signs like the letters, when you can see at night a lot of the letters had been out for months and not being fixed and how one side, it kind of says something negative that everybody is having a big chuckle about and you'll hear about that later on here, and then in the front the on the boardwalk side the house of blues, big theater in the show boat, we also mentioned how no acts were booked there, after august 10th, at the the height of the summer, no concert at the the house of blues. they thought this place is shutting down any day. we are waiting for the official war. well to day they are getting the official word more than 2,000 workers here, with their
7:09 am
paychecks giving that worn act as a federal law if you lay people off in mass numbers you have got to give them 60 days notice. sixty days notice that the show boat is shutting down. we have talk to the customers who think it will not just stop at the show boat or revel, lot of people think most of the casinos here will eventually close realign because they say this town is dead. look at the boardwalk on a sum are weekend, three people in our view right now. >> i think it is dead and casinos have gone the top. >> everything now is just small scale. the older casino, they have a old ever business model and that model doesn't exist in today's world. you don't need a multi billion dollar hotel for a casino. and i don't think atlantic city will be around too much longer. that is my opinion. >> i was telling my husband, i said look, it is i think the s is out.
7:10 am
and before you you know it, we started to hear about the buzz that the fact that the show boat was closing and they didn't fix it. that is why we got out of our hotel room and we see the oboat. >> that might be funny but they realize it is not funny to the customers who have been coming here for years and especially all those workers, working here since it opened in the 80's. show boat is owned by caesars which owns four casinos but caesars you might remember earlier this year, they were the ones that bought the the atlantic club and presentmently shut it down. they admitted we are in the done shutting down casinos yet, we need to reduce capacity and way to do that is to reduce our casino holdings here. this was in surprise they shut this down. they said that in may they may shut one of the four and it looks like show boat will be it. they have harrah's, caesars and bally's. they have to reduce cost of doing business and one option is to quote, reduce capacity as we did with closing
7:11 am
atlantic club. another sad day in the long history of atlantic city but where does the sadness end? we have this end of the boardwalk that we told you about, revel on one side where workers were told they could be out of jobs in 60 days and now show boat. next in line the taj mahal and that will be the end of the boardwalk as it once was back in the 80's. >> that is for sure what exactly happened at the oboat. might get more business. in national headlines, sue, 36 people hurt. >> they were rushed to the hospital in the suburb of houston texas after a floor collapsed under a large crowd, attending a religious event. the people were in a room above a detached garage in this house when the floor gave way. this all happened yesterday afternoon. officials say that mess of the victims only suffered minor injuries and there is in word on what actually cause that had collapse. weird. 7:11. we have a preview of the interview with the father on have the man who went on the killing spree near uc santa
7:12 am
barbara. >> would you do this? father of elliott roger is speaking out publicly, really for the first time here since the killings last month. police say roger killed six people and wounded 13 others before taking his own life. in the interview his dad, peter, says that a daze has not gone by that he doesn't think about the horror of today. >> i wake up and i think of those men and women that have died and they were injured and the terrorized, and my son did that. >> yes, that is something, isn't it. >> so he says before the attack he didn't think his son was capable of hurting anybody. but in a manifesto found after the killing spree, his son spoke about socialize lacing, and seeking revenge. 7:12. an amazing moment on live television when a father is told that his missing son has
7:13 am
been found safe. >> this is we are. >> thinks on head line news network last night,. >> yeah, listen. >> charlie, we're getting reports that your son has been found, in your basement. sir? >> wow. >> sir are you here. >> what? >> yah, we have been getting reports their son has been found alive in your basement. >> what in. >> now is he acting? what do you think. >> this is a very, very confusing story. but, here's what we know. nancy grace breaking news that the charles, on the fourth, his name on the head line news show. that clip was posted on her web site. detroit police found the boy in his basement after they have been searching for 12 days. the the investigators say the the boy's step mom was helping

7:18 am
better. one lane is being diverted over there, and there is the scene of the accident. tractor trailer is completely flipped over and this has been with us for hours. ups truck and i'm hearing it is fully loaded. >> we have been talking about this the 5:00 o'clock hour. >> it has license here for a while. chopper could not go up because it was too dark out there was word that the truck driver was trapped in the cab of the truck no word on his condition. it looks like they are trying to figure out what to to. i cannot even imagine how much that truck weighs right new? we have two of those giant tow trucks. >> but, we're keeping you updated on this but southbound side of i-95 crazy delayed leading down to the scene. >> i don't know if i have ever seen a jackknife so perfectly. >> yes, right. >> perpendicular. >> yes, cross the road. my goodness. so back in the day before the cristina river incident, you would have said, alternate route was 495. >> not to day.

7:26 am
faithful to look at. you have to convince yourself michael carter williams and nerlens necessity he will are worth the the price of admission but it will be a tough sell. both draft picks from last night will in the play next year. simple as that. >> hold on a second if i'm in turkey, i can swing by and watch our tenth pick play. >> you could. >> yeah. >> but he has real potential and i think that is a good thing. >> what is his name tar ohio saric. >> day yard saric, 6 feet ten, good size, shooter, he can do it all, rebound, young. clearly sam hinkie is looking towards future and clearly le bronze james is coming here because they have one that can play. >> maybe there is a plan we don't know. >> a year after this season you have twin towers, joel and noel. >> yes, i like that. >> i like that. >> start selling the future. >> maybe lebron knows that

7:28 am
they are scared of their juror multiple your that knoll embiid already has in his young career. but at three that was the guy to pull the trigger on. >> next year, 2015, joel, noel take over the nba. >> twenty-five wins. >> stop it. >> if we're lucky moving on. >> charged with murder, murder, after leaving his toddler in a hot car that is in the only case this year so far, get up to 90 degrees now. we're talking about these case west a legal expert, why would a dad be charged with murder. it seems like he wanted this
7:31 am
they have gotten that truck uprighted. it took two tow truck toss get it uprighted. we have a lot of delay on i-95 south. we will get there in one second. as we pan further back to i-95 southbound approaching route 141 this morning. again, just south of will mink ton a lot of backup trickling down to one lane. you can see from four lanes merges every where. this is going to be officially delay ridden with the 495 bridge closure this morning. people diverted on to i-95 to begin with. backup is incredible this morning. route four is a good alternate. i cannot give you 495 as an
7:32 am
alternate because it is shut down but 295 is where they are diverting people and backup is looking bad this morning as this tractor trailer has been blocking all lanes on the southbound side since 5:00 this morning. >> have you looked at our cameras by the airport, sit backed up that far yet. >> it is backed up pretty far, it is not backed up that far. >> not that bad. >> but again, it is pretty bad, pretty bad this morning. we will get an update on how many miles. >> if you are in it and stuck tonight, tweet us, let us necessity where we are we will try to figure out how far back this goes. does it get back into pennsylvania? probably does. >> at this point probably. >> caitlin? >> thanks, guys. that looks awful out there. if you are about to head out avoid i-95 age know you may need an umbrella we gave today an eight, but also some showers which could be heavy at times later this afternoon. not everyone will see them but enough would you need an umbrella briefly.
7:33 am
that being said we are cooler. we will see lower humidity. it will turnout to be nice day by the time we end it later this afternoon. bus stop budd any shades yet. he has sun screen just in case. always good to put it on even though it is cloudy. temperatures in the 60's and 70's. still muggy right now but we will be less humid later today. we have fair skies and in rain. we will wait on that until later today. seventy-one is the temperature in the city. relative humidity 75 percent. i think for today we will hit 82. that is cooler. we will have an early high temperature and then they will fall as that cooler air with the front comes through later this afternoon. couple afternoon showers, otherwise, we will clear it out, cooler and much nicer. low of 64. we will have the rest of the weekend forecast still coming up, guys. >> 7:33. country is talking about this do you see this georgia father here, he is not going to the funeral have of his son, toddler died after being left in a hot car for seven hours. his dad claims it was an
7:34 am
accident. he simply forgot what he is in the back seat there. he is now charged with murder. investigation by police found that the dad three three-year old justin harris, did a web search on his computer at work on how long it will take for an animal to die in a hot car. now why would that be searched on his computer? computer for 22 month-old coupe are is tomorrow. by the way, the county in which they live do not allow pretrial inmates special dispensation to go to the funeral. he is not allowed. so what do you think about this? why the murder charge. let's bring in heather hanson our attorney to talk about this. >> it is summertime and we see these stories every summer, heather. >> it is really difficult. sometimes parents are leaving their kids in the car by accident. it happens sometimes on purpose, sometimes people use their car as a cheap form of day care which is never a good idea. we saw it last summer when people were gambling and
7:35 am
leaving their kid in the car. depending on the circumstances, sue sometimes it is prosecuted as a crime and sometimes it is not. >> yeah, well a lot of times it is not. they have to live with the grief for the rest of their life but this guy is charged with murder. now why that? is anybody thinking that he purposely left the kids back there to die. >> that seems to be the the thought, mike. >> he did a google search and that doesn't help his case. >> what did he do the search. >> he a apparently searched how long it took for an animal to die in the car f that is true. >> but when? >> they are not saying. they are in the saying a lot of things, mike. he apparently went back to the car some point in the day. they are still compiling evident to determine whether or not they will pursue this all the way. they also it is fell any murder charge that he has been charge work child endangerment as well. there is things that they have to determine, autopsy just came back. the child definitely died of hyperthermia when the child gets too hot.
7:36 am
this case is different. different from the other cases you see where it is negligent homicide, child even danger. , reckless endangerment. this could have been intentional and if so felony murder would be appropriate. >> fit is intentional or accidental it doesn't matter, 44 deaths last year for kids in cars.org just from hyperthermia. last month alone seven babies died in the car. this month along three babies died this baby being a their. when does something like the rice university smart baby seat become mandatory in all vehicles. >> great question, kacie. they have been pushing for this. different non-profit groups have been pushing for this for years. the the car companies seem to be against it because they are afraid of liability if the thing doesn't work, can they be sued if the child died. but it is certainly seeming like a no brainer. we used to have babies in the front seat with the parents and with the air bags we moved them to the back. then they turned babies around so they cannot see the child in the back. it seems to have up creased
7:37 am
the number of times. fifteen to 25 times a year a child is left in the car. >> if they are sleeping you can forget they are there. >> her sleeping and i'll go run into wawa here. so hot i don't want to take them out. >> those are sort of two different situations but you purposely leave the child that is one thing but with stress and sleep deprivation for new parents this is just done by accident. there is a lot of things on line about ways to prevent this, leave your cell phone back by the baby so you are not texting and driving and second of all, you will remember your phone. it is a terrible thing to think you remember the phone over the child but in your routine it can happen apparently. >> this guy did this on purpose he should just rot in jail, rot in a jail cell, a hot jail cell. >> that is right. >> thanks, guys. >> 7:39. hey, still ahead having babies later in life we had this story yesterday, it could make you a healthier women. i don't know we need to do
7:38 am
more investigation on this. >> it is because then it is risky for the child. >> lets ask doctor mike bit after the the break. and then, there is this. i lost everything. they wanted to erase me forever. >> she's too old at 24. that is why miss delaware was stripped of her crown. why she said someone made a big mistake,
7:41 am
kacie, let me take you down memory lane there. is what the name of that group singing under the boardwalk? it is the drifters. >> drifters, yeah. >> atlantic city, home of the miss america pageant. isn't it back there in atlantic city. >> yes, where it should be. >> miss america. >> there she isn't, miss delaware. miss delaware 2014. i kind of feel sorry for her. she has been stripped of her crown because of her age,
7:42 am
explain this. >> her name is amanda longacre and she did win two weeks ago but she learn she was not eligible to represent delaware because she will turn 25, this october. so, according to the rules you have to be between 17 and 24, for the entire calendar year, but longacre says she and miss delaware scholarship organization did sign a contract, kind of waving that for her saying that she could compete after she provided the organization with all of her proper documents. here's what she says. >> it is in the quite fair if somebody ace loud to turn 25 in january and be 25 for most of her reign. i lost everything. they want to erase me, forever. >> so, scholarship organization crowned runner up brittany lewis as the new winner. longacre says she has not received anything in writing yet and she cannot get in contact with the miss america people, she has tried a couple times and they say they cannot
7:43 am
comment because of the pending legal action. >> was that a university of pennsylvania. >> a grad student at the university of pennsylvania. >> she gets $11,000, she doesn't get it any more. >> they stripped her of any record. >> i think, it is on them. >> well, why weren't this have have been work out ahead of time. >> she claims it was, and then they said nope. >> maybe people thought she wasn't going to win. >> plot thickens. >> she might be the most famous delaware resident ever. >> there is another one. >> who was it. >> that is right. >> let's not bring that one up. >> i saw the tape. still ahead, notice something missing here. notice something missing. >> i do. >> that is a name cake. >> yes. >> this is a wedding trend this year, naked cakes, why no icing we will explain. and an eye opening new ad, asked an important question, when does like a girl become

8:02 am
all of the backup there. not backed up into pennsylvania, we did check on that but traffic there you can see on the left-hand side being diverted off on to 295, now you know cristina river bridge is shut down so that is the extra 495, volume there this morning. so route four is going to be a great alternate if you are heading out, again lots of backup there. i-95 south approaching 141, take route four, we will keep you updated. it will take a long time this morning. >> the crash happened at 5:30. they have been diverting people. they are slowly diverting people down to three lanes, we have the merge on the other side off on to 295. >> is that the cristina river. >> i believe it is. this is south of wilmington. you are traveling south on i-95 and splits off to the right on i-95, it is right around there. >> let's say i was helped to

8:05 am
very, very tiny numbers here as you can tell. this is probably busiest section of the boardwalk in front of the revel, show boat and taj mahal and resorts. you have a cluster of casinos but no cluster of people here at all. why are we here? because the show boat casino a week after revel workers all got notice they could be out of jobs in 60 days is giving notice on payday today to all 2100 show boat workers that this place will likely shut down. we told you a week ago today, at this hour we heard from the customers who use all their comps or usable after this and that the house of blues had no shows scheduled after august 10th and that the worried workers, thought they would be out of jobs soon. they got those fears realized last week, this week now with this new you notice and a lot of the people we talk to here in atlantic city visiting are not surprised. >> yeah, i do feel like it is, i feel like it used to

8:07 am
opened since 2003 and i mentioned in the tease that back in 2003 when this place was super strong the show boat added this second tower because they wanted to add another 600 or so rooms. so in that 11 year span when philadelphia got casinos and all these other places got casinos we have seen atlantic city's casino take fall in half. roger gross the casino analyst says if atlantic city is bringing in half of the casino money that it did six years ago when it had a dozen, maybe it just needs six casinos. even a expert think a few more casinos are likely to bite the the dust and how sad it is here but very sad to sees here we are a week from fourth of july, maybe the busiest time of the year, supposedly here at jersey shore, and, this is a ghost town, here on the boardwalk as we go to the left... >> okay. >> we will get back to that. >> but are you heading to the beach this weekend whether it be atlantic city or all the way down into delaware?
