sanders. is this his do-or-die moment? shocking find. the new twist in the infamous o.j. simpson murder case. that knife allegedly found buried in o.j.'s old estate. >> the facts of the case remains an open case and that is the case here. >> how it suddenly turned up and the new crucial details. what we're just learning about it now. high-tech heist. how armed robbers stole $5 million in gold. their daring highway truck robbery. >> there's a couple of guys that look like they just got their hands zip tied behind their back. >> the remote control device disabling the drivers in a plot straight out of a movie. and the verdict is rich. the judge on vacation who reeled in a giant lottery jackpot chartering a jet to claim his winnings. what he did the minute he found

forever. hey, good morning. we're going to get to the overnight headline, the o.j. story in a moment but we start here with a big day in a presidential campaign that will probably be talked about for generations. >> that's a good point. there are five states in play today. the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders will compete in 3 states for 126 delegates and sanders is fighting an uphill battle after a rough super tuesday. meanwhile, on the republican side, 155 delegates up for grabs in 4 states, these contests come after what may be the wildest week yet in the campaign with the party in open warfare over this man, donald trump. >> and here he is overnight at a rally in louisiana. look at that, holding a mini-me minus the binkie. the establishment trying to derail him. but can trump's momentum be slowed? we do have team coverage and we start with abc's mary bruce in washington, d.c., without the mini-me. hi, mary. >> reporter: hi, good morning. well, thousands of conservatives

this conference has been a must attend event for republican presidential candidates, but this morning, donald trump is changing things up once again. overnight chaos at this donald trump rally in new orleans. >> did you get him out? wise guy. get the protester out. >> reporter: his supporters clashing with protesters. >> get him out. see, in the old days, it wouldn't take so long, folks. we're in a little bit of a different world today. >> reporter: this as trump clashes with the republican party. >> millions and millions of people are coming to vote for the republicans and joining the republican party because of me. >> reporter: as republican voters in four states head to the polls, this morning the gop is in a war with itself. >> if he's our nominee, it will split the republican party and it will be the end of the modern conservative movement. >> reporter: the billionaire's rivals and the republican establishment making a last-ditch effort to stop trump

nomination. >> there is no doubt if we remain divided, donald trump wins. >> reporter: john kasich predicting there will be no clear winner from the primary season at all suggesting the gop is heading to a contested convention. >> you think it's going to be a brokered convention. >> i do. i do >> reporter: and this year trump snubbing the year's biggest gathering, cpac canceling his appearance at the last moment amid rumors he was likely to face push-back. his rivals pounced. >> i think somebody told him megyn kelly was going to be here. >> reporter: and this morning there are just four republican candidates left. ben carson announcing he is out. >> you know, there's a lot of people who love me. they just want to vote for me but it's okay. >> reporter: now trump was slated to speak here first thing this morning but instead he's about to take the stage in kansas, one of those four states holding its republican contest later today. paula. >> thanks, mary. we move to the democrats. hillary clinton has a chance to

bernie sanders today, and he's reminding voters of her inconsistencies and contradictions throughout her political career and abc's david wright outside clinton headquarters in brooklyn with the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, paula. that's the building right there behind me. clinton's campaign this weekend is actually managing expectations insisting that this time around, they're the underdog. this morning, it's do or die for bernie sanders. >> all: bernie, bernie, bernie. >> reporter: vermont senator still has huge crowds and getting lots of donations but he also needs to catch up in the delegate count. >> bring your friends and your relatives and your neighbors and your co-workers. >> reporter: today there are 26 delegates are up for grabs in louisiana, nebraska and kansas where bernie stopped at this barber shop to get a trim on the trail. >> no style. no style. >> reporter: hillary clinton, meanwhile, is taking aim at her republican rivals.

presidential -- i don't know what to call it, i guess debate, there were so many insults flying back and forth, it was hard to keep track. >> i thought i was watching the sixth grade recess fight and i didn't know what to make of that deal last night. i was just speechless. >> reporter: the problem is, the spectacle over on the gop side is turning out republican voters. democrats seemingly less energized this year. on super tuesday more than 8.5 million republicans got out to vote compared to fewer than 6 million democrats. states today, there's also maine coming up tomorrow. 30 more delegates at stake. three out of the four states voting this weekend are actually caucus states, and those have >> david wright, thank you. for more on all of this let's bring in abc news political analyst matthew dowd. let's start with the republicans. so trump is now running up against the cpac convention, the conservative pooh-bahs, also mitt romney, also mccain, can he be stopped?

glide path. he's not inevitable but he's on a glide path. to me all of this sis happening by the establishment of the party, a little like wiley e. coyote against the road runner. they keep putting out acme explosives and the road runner hops over it, trump goes over it, it's going to work and the thing falls and falls on themselves. right now trump is in the driver's seat and today i think is an important day. ted cruz especially has to win a couple of the states tonight, which he has a possibility of doing to slow any momentum of donald trump. >> do you think we're heading toward a contested convention? >> i think it's 50/50 and i think today will be a part of it. if donald trump somehow wins three of four today, it's a huge effort but michigan on tuesday wins that but i think as of today, it's 50/50. >> quickly on the democratic side, does bernie sanders have any viable path toward the nomination at this point in your view? >> he has a path but i don't know how viable it is. i think at this point he has to win most of the states today. he has to win the states

of the states on tuesday but right now it looks like his campaign is becoming more of a message campaign than a campaign that thinks it actually can win the delegates. >> matt dowd, we love having you here, thank you, man. >> thanks. >> and be sure to watch abc's "world news tonight" for up to the minute election results and continuing coverage and, paula, over to you. >> yeah, we do want to move on to another big story that all of us are following this morning. a knife found at the old o.j. simpson estate is being examined by authorities. was it the knife that was used in the double murder case in what was called the trial of the century? this is a fascinating new development and our matt gutman is on the scene for us this morning. hi, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, paula. the lapd is working to glean whatever forensic evidence it can from that mud encrusted knife. the murder weapon has never been found which is why the discover which of this knife has set in motion the o.j. simpson circus once again. it's been the first lead in the

>> it's described as a knife. >> reporter: a frenzy of interest. >> police say investigators are -- >> testing a knife. >> reportedly found -- >> reporter: the possibility of the knife used to murder simpson's ex-wife nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman in 1994 may have finally been found. >> well, i was really surprised. >> reporter: police say a construction worker handed the knife allegedly found buried on the property to an off-duty officer near the simpson estate in the late 1990s. at the time the house was being rebuilt. the now retired officer's lawyer tells abc news he call eded the lapd to alert them that he had some sort of evidence but was told the case was closed. is this another case of the lapd or an lapd officer mishandling evidence in the o.j. simpson case? >> well, i certainly hope not but it certainly is very concerning to us that a police officer, whether retired or active, would not know to submit and turn in evidence or what is believed to be evidence. >> reporter: what he held on to

likely isn't evidence at all. sources telling us their initial investigation shows it couldn't be the murder weapon, the knife not matching the details of the crime. investigators who worked intimately on the o.j. simpson case say that over the years they've received 150 knives. some of them recovered during the demolition and reconstruction of this house. still, authorities are testing the knife for possible dna evidence. >> it would be interesting if there were some evidence on that knife that pointed to who might have helped to bury it. >> reporter: the news breaking just as the new fx series "american crime story: the people versus o.j. simpson" is in full swing. >> i'm not black. i'm o.j. >> reporter: but it was too late to slow the tide of tweets and speculation. even if that knife were found to be covered, smeared in o.j. simpson's dna, there is only one person in the world who could not be put on trial for those murders, o.j. simpson.

being put on trial or being charged with a crime he's already been acquitted of. paula. >> all right, matt, we do want to mention that o.j. is serving time on an unrelated crime and he is eligible for parole next year. so, matt, thank you to you and we want to dig deeper now with abc news consultant and former fbi special agent brad garrett in washington. brad, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> as you heard in matt's piece authorities saying this is very likely not the knife that killed nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. but they're still testing it. is it possible after all these year, two decades later that there's evidence on it? >> absolutely. there could be dna, there could be evidence. that could be linked to the victims, to o.j., to someone else. so despite the fact the knife may not be the correct size, you still have to go through the forensic testing. >> so they're going through that forensic testing. evidence on it. so what are the other markers

to track the knife. what's the ticktock of where it came from? how did the officer get in possession of it? where was it found on the property? you also need to have someone look at the knife because it could have predated o.j. the property has been there a long time, so it's very important to follow the trail of where was it found on the property and what are the circumstances as to how the officer got it? >> all right, brad garrett. i want to thank you for your insight. so many are fascinated by this development this morning. thanks for joining us. >> of interest this morning. a lot of other news this morning, as well. and for that, as always, we get it over to dr. ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> good morning to you, dan and paula. rachel. good morning, everyone. we begin with new details on what might be on that locked iphone belonging to one of the san bernardino shooters. the district attorney in that area of southern california says the phone belonged to syed farook and could have information about a possible third shooter and also a -- pose a cyberthreat, apple, excuse me, is in a battle with the fbi

the person for? >> don't they get it. not a significant injury? where have they been during this trial? >> reporter: andrews suing her stalker michael barrett as well as the owners and managers of that nashville marriott for $75 million claiming the hotel made it easy for barrett to get a room next door to hers so he could shoot video of her getting out of the shower. >> barrett couldn't have done it without the negligence of the nashville marriott. >> reporter: the jury will soon have to decide whether barrett and the nashville marriott should pay for what she has gone through and if so, how much. >> if she wins this case, as ugly as it sounds, these jurors will have to put a dollar value on her emotional pain and suffering. >> this could have been stopped. the nashville marriott could have just called me. we are putting this man that requested to be next to you, they could have stopped this. >> reporter: legal experts say the verdict in this case will send a message to both hotels

>> there's no question that if there was an enormous verdict here that the hotel and the management group had to pay, that it would send a serious message that you better be careful. >> reporter: now, the jury has taken the weekend off. they will return to begin deliberations on monday at 9:00 a.m. dan. >> all right, eva, thank you. let's check the weather now and meteorologist indra petersons. good morning, indra. >> good morning. big story setting up out west and we're talking about the atmospheric river. what does that mean, it means tons of moisture expected to move into the west coast. just take a look at the line of storms that will be funneling into the area. we're going to be watching as tons of advisories. you've got any doubts, take a look at that beach erosion, huge threat, surf up to 15 feet. here's the key, it is raining right now and a series of storms will be moving in, not one, but one, two, three that are going to continue to bring all that heavy rain so the threat for mud slides in the region but even with all of this, los angeles still 7 inches below the average for this time

remember, steve and adrianna had that h&r block guarantee so they called their tax preparer about a refund. >> every time i called, it was the same thing. you know, it's pending headquarters. can you tell me anything else, no, we can't. >> reporter: after five months no refund. so they made a calculated move and called in the abc news fixer. our fixer and her team did the math checking out that h&r block guarantee and extra protection the rahals bought, the fixer took it straight to h&r block's corporate offices but the company came through with not only an apology for the taxing experience, they said this was a complicated situation to resolve, but also a refund of $9,800, the maximum steve and adrianna were entitled to. >> it's fixed. thank you, abc news fixer. >> they're toasting you, stephanie zimmermann. by the way, stephanie is the -- the fixer actually has a name and it's stephanie. she joins us from chicago. first, how often do errors occur on these tax returns? >> yeah, well, you know, dan,

and have found error rates of 25% or more in their taxes. >> so, what can a consumer do? >> well, you know, most states actually don't require any kind of special competency or training to be a tax preparer. so you really need to check the person's qualifications and ask up front what the fee is going to be, and finally make sure you understand that guarantee and read it so you know what it >> surprised to hear those stephanie, thank you. great advice as always. and we should say, if you have a consumer problem for the abc news fixer, aka stephanie, you can find her at abcnews.com/fixer and has already recovered $1.7 million for frustrated consumers. maybe she'll fix your next problem right here on "gma." >> good to know. >> why are you giving me that look? >> i have many problems. but probably none of them she can fix but we do have a fix coming up on "good morning america." advice to have the best family vacation ever. keep it right here. this is advice i need to hear.
