Transcripts For KGO ABC News Good Morning America 20130813

And good morning, america. Robin and sam are off today. And its shaping up to be a very busy tuesday. So much to get to. Including the father of 16yearold hannah anderson. He is now speaking out for the First Time Since hannahs kidnapping. What an ordeal for that family. And dad says it will be a very slow recovery. Well get to that in a moment. We want to go right to ginger zee. For all the latest on funnel clouds over baltimore. Its a big deal. Its a huge deal. We have strong to severe thunderstorms for a large part of the east. The funnel clouds were reported earlier. Now the Severe Weather, tornado warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning just southwest of philadelphia. Not only is this going to bring you the Severe Weather potential, in the midhet,atla from connecticut to kentucky, all throughout the plains. And that one town, Manitou Springs, got so hard hit last weekend, hit again last night. Its the most terrifying thing ive ever seen. I cant stop shaking. Reporter flash flooding, terrorizing the mountains of colorado again. Oh, my gosh. Reporter a body found, as streets in Manitou Springs became racing rivers. The foundation of this building, just barely able to withstand the force of the murky water running beneath it. Another nightmare, as the same highway floods and shuts down. Our affiliate, krdo, sharing this picture with the caption, just pulled this lady out when she drove down a flooded street. More than an inch of rain falling in just 15 minutes. Water gushing. And then oh, no, there goes the trees. Reporter pounding hail. All of this, just three days after the black, ferocious flood hijacked Manitou Springs. Killing one. And in washington state, flooding stranded 65 hikers. This morning, theyre safe. A fierce downpour had washed away their only road off the mountain. A temporary trail got them out alive. How much rain are we talking . Threeplus inches right there in that red zone. And all the way through the midatlantic, southeast, raleigh included. Here in new york city, we could do it to. We could see, already south and west of philadelphia, 3 inches. Right outside, too. Thanks. Well get to the other top stories. Josh, that baseball tragedy. Yeah. It is. Every time you hear about Something Like this, its just terrible. Were going to begin there. A horrifying scene last night at atlanta at the braves game. A fan falling from the upper deck there. This morning, police trying to figure out what led to this fatal fall. The man fell from the 400level upper deck of turner field, on to the players parking lot just outside the stadium. Its terrible. Just you knew he wasnt going to make it. Reporter the fall, 65 feet, directly to the pavement below. Detectives raced to the scene, finding clothes and a braves hat scattered. At this time, the fall appears accidental. Theres no indication of foul play. Reporter the game had been delayed for two hours previous because of heavy rain. But investigators arent sure if the conditions or alcohol played a role. Its the third time in the last five years that a fan has fallen from the stands in atlanta. A 20yearold was killed last august after falling over a railing in the georgia dome. Landing on a man in the lower deck. Alcohol was deemed a factor in that fall. And in 2008, a man died after falling from turner fields upper deck on to the seats behind home plate. And ballpark safety has been a national focus. As evidenced in 2011, when a firefighter, trying to catch a ball, fell to his death in texas, in front of his young son. This morning, the question being raised once again, should adiums build higher railings or nets to protect fans . Or would that compromise those sweeping, unobstructed views of the field that todays fans now demand . Cannot say it enough. Take great care in the upper decks. Of stadiums around the country. As for last nights fall in atlanta, police say the victim was 29 years old and from the atlanta metropolitan area. Overnight, a gas pipeline explosion in western illinois. You see it here. Sending flames towering into the air. It took emergency crews several hours to shut off the gas line. Nearby residents had to be evacuated. But thankfully, no injuries have been reported. No word as to what caused the explosion. Here in new york, mayor Michael Bloomberg says he will appeal a federal judges ruling that found the nypds controversial stop and frisk policy compromised the rights of thousands of minorities. The mayor said the policy helped save thousands of lives by removing guns from the streets. But the judge ruled the tactics unfairly targeted black and hispanic men. And the billionaire behind paypal is now promising, my goodness, an 800mileperhour commute. Elon musk has unveiled designs for what he calls a hyperloop. It could make the trip between los angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes and cost 20 each way. The mega, megahighspeed transit line uses capsules in virtually airfree tubes. Pulled by magnets, of course. Musk claims it could be built in less than a decade. Get on that, elon. And finally, a real estate project gone awry. A rich guy in china thought he could build an 8,600 squarefoot dream villa on top of the apartment building. Oh, my. You see it there. This is in beijing. He spent years building it. Brought in boulders to make it look like a mountain retreat. The problem, it violates virtually every City Ordinance possible. Theyre now ordering him to tear it down. Doesnt help that the building is, in factors collap, collapsi the weight of the mountain built on it. The only complaints the building really gets is because the parties are too loud. There you go. What were they doing while he was building it . Followup, followup, followup. Dont mind me. Just a boulder heading through the door. Another boulder . Thats tough. Nothing to see here, folks. I dont know. But about that train. Can we get that highspeed train . Lets get a national system. Do it. Magnetized. Josh, thank you so much. Moving on to new details on hannah anderson, the young girl back home now, after being rescued from her kidnapper in the idaho wilderness. And her father speaking out for the First Time Since her dramatic rescue. Abcs ryan owens has the story. Reporter for 16yearold hannah anderson, the journey home from the rugged back country of idaho was quick. A flight, courtesy of the fbi. Recovering from what happened there will take far longer. As for my daughter, the healing process will be slow. Hes been through a horrific ordeal. Im proud of her. And i love her very much. Reporter hannah told investigators that her kidnapper 40yearold james dimaggio, was armed with a rifle and a pistol. She says he fired at least one shot at the Fbi Hostage Rescue Team before an agent shot him dead saturday. Only after her rescue did hannah learn dimaggio, a longtime family friend, allegedly killed her mother and her 8yearold brother. Their bodies found in his burning home. It became very clear to us, very clear, that she is a victim in every sense of the world in this horrific crime. Reporter the sheriff wanted to make that clear after the four horseback riders who stumbled upon hannah in the woods thought she muttered, i think were all in trouble now. They called police after seeing her amber alert on tv. Without you, who knows how long this would have gone on . My family and i are eternally grateful. Some of you might find the amber alert annoying. Please, pay attention. Keep your eyes open. Lets bring those children home. No one should have to go through this. Reporter there was a strange twist in this amber alert and it in involves, of all things, a cat. It turns out hannah and dimaggio will traveling with a small pet. Those horseback riders thought that was awfully strange in the middle of the wilderness. So they told police. It turns out, when they were doing surveillance, they actually spotted that cat from the air. Thats how they knew they had the right camp site. This morning, authorities have given hannah that cat, hoping that having a pet will somehow held help her on the long road ahead. Ryan, thanks very much. Were going to turn to politics now. And all kinds of new clues that Hillary Clinton will take a second shot at the white house. She has been coy in public until now. But her announcement yesterday has moved expectations into high gear. Abcs jon karl is here with us with all the details. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. A clear sign she has not retired from politics. Hillary clinton gave her first major policy speech since stepping down as secretary of state. And made it clear theres much more to come. Shes back. In a speech before the american bar association, Hillary Clinton announced she plans to give a series of big policy speeches in the coming months. Monday night, she addressed Voting Rights and Racial Discrimination. Anyone who says that Racial Discrimination is no longer a problem in american elections must not be paying attention. Reporter speeches will keep her in the spotlight and are the most concrete indication yet is preparing to run for president. Next month, mrs. Clinton will travel to philadelphia, to take on another hotbutton topic. The debate on national security, nsa programs, and privacy. Just as she was speaking before the a. B. A. , disgraced mayoral candidate, Anthony Weiner, the last person Hillary Clinton would want commenting on her campaign, claimed to have inside information on Hillary Clinton 2016. At least as it relates to huma abedin, one of her closest advisers. Do you know what her role in Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign will be . I do. Im not telling you. Do you feel you damaged her place in that world . I feel that what i have done has hurt her, yeah. Thats hurt her professionally and personally. Reporter that was a blunder. Hillary clinton has not yet made it official she is running for president. In a recent poll, Anthony Weiner broke a new record in new york. Although, its not the kind of record he would like to break. He became the most unpopular political figure on record in the state of new york. An unfavorability rating of 80 . 80 . Thats kind of a hard record to beat. Okay, jon, thank you very much. We turn to the incredible video of the moment a Luxury Resort was swallowed up by a sinkhole. It happened near orlando, florida. And dozens of frightened guests fled for their lives. Abcs Steve Osunsami has the latest on what caused the earth to open up in clermont, florida. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning, lara. This is as close as we can get to whats left of the villa. Sinkholes are common in florida because much of the state sits on limestone. The water below eats at the stone. And heavy rain pushes into it. Leaving you with this. Heres video that explains why florida authorities are so worried. What was a perfectly normal vacation villa with two dozen units that are three floors high, all crumbling into a 100foot sinkhole. This morning, florida inspectors and scientists are testing deep into the soil. Families who were forced to evacuate sunday night from the buildings next door are waiting for the good word that they can return to their vacation rentals. We heard a big boom. And the bathtub lifted up and went down. Reporter in building 104, that now looks like its circling a drain, dozens of families ran for their lives when the earth gave way and lost everything they had. As soon as the balconies were collapsing one on top of the other. Reporter this is a photo of maggie, her kids and their Three Friends all here from virginia, just moments before the building caved in. We need to know what room everybody was in. Reporter and this is cell phone video from when they escaped. She managed to grab the keys and the kids but nothing else. You dont see a building every day twisting on itself, like its in a vortex. And coming down around you. Reporter richard shanle runs works security for the resort. He ran through the halls, yelling for families to get out. As i went from one side to the other, the building did drop 10 to 20 inches every time i went up a level. Reporter but the shifting walls left many of the doors jammed shut. One family with a baby had to break through a window. The people who were staying here have been moved to other rentals on this property. Authorities do believe that the sinkhole is relatively stable at this time. Lara . All right. Thank you so much, Steve Osunsami. They think its stable. Lets hope it is. Were going to turn to a decisive verdict for the brutal mob boss. Whitey bulger of boston. One of the most wanted for years. Convicted monday for a string of killings and crimes. Many convicted when he was an informant for the fbi. Gio benitez is here. Reporter good morning. Whitey bulger is likely going to die locked up. The 83yearolds life of crime may have inspired hollywood movies. But this morning, the reallife tale keeps him off the streets for good. Notorious gang boss, Whitey Bulger, unflinching when his verdict was read. Justice, a long time coming, especially for the families of the 11 people he killed. After 31 years, after a lot of fbi coverups, deceits and lies, we finally have somebody guilty in the murder of my father. Reporter but for other families, there was no justice. Bulger, eluding a guilty verdict on eight other murder charges, including steven davis sister, debra, who was allegedly strangled by bulger. My family has to live every day. And the rest of the families have to live every day with the fact that they lost a loved one. Reporter a former mobster once said, Whitey Bulger could teach the devil tricks. After a tip from an fbi agent, bulger learned he could be in t indicted and went on the run for 16 years. Climbing to the top of the fbis ten mostwanted list. With him for the ride, his girlfriend, catherine greig. They led this life of retirees, walking the beach, taking care of stray cats. Reporter now, bulger will likely live out the rest of his days behind bars. And as he was led away, one woman in the gallery taunted bulger, apparently imitating a machine gun. Yelling ratatattat, whitey. Bulger will be sentenced in november. So many people waiting for this day. A lot for a long time. All right, gio, thanks very much. Now, we turn to the mysterious priest who came to a womans rescue just in time, after a nasty car crash. And just as quickly, vanished. Many were wondering if he was real or an angel. Turns out, he was both. The heavenly hero of the highway has now surfaced speaking to abc in a network exclusive. And abcs alex perez has our story. Reporter he was the man from behind the miracle. I was coming from 8 30 mass. I saw this line of cars. Reporter this morning, reverend Patrick Dowling revealing himself, after his seemingly divine intervention at a crash site on sunday. One of the rescuers said to me, we need all the help we can get. Reporter struck by a drunk driver, 19yearold katie lentz was barely clinging to life. She asked First Responders to pray with her. Thats when the mysterious priest seemed to appear out of thin air. I think this time, ive actually witnessed a Guardian Angel at work. Reporter adding to the air of mystery, father dowlings sudden disappearance, once lentz was rescued and airlifted to the hospital. It wasnt long before the town was searching for this hero. Even prompting this sketch. Uncanny . Perhaps not. I said i hope im not as hungry looking. Reporter as for lentz, father dowling had a chance to meet with her in the icu. She started to cry. Im not sure why. She explained to me she wasnt disappointed. Reporter while her savior may have salt and pepper hair instead of a halo, those closest to lentz say he is an angel among men. Remember that its our heavenly father that loves that girl so much. He is an angel. I love that gentle voice. I do, too. Central casting right there. That was perfect. Beautiful story. Ginger, the weather not quite as beautiful. Not at all. And philadelphia is under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning as we speak. I want to show you wpvis camera. Cant even see the skyline.

Thats taking it to a whole new level. Also coming up this morning, a new twist in the paula deen controversy. A federal judge making a new ruling on the claims against her. Also, reality tv star, Bethenny Frankel, opening up, perhaps as never before, about her divorce. Why she says she does not regret letting those cameras roll right through her most painful personal moments. A woman whose husband said he cheated on her, because youre not pretty enough. Well, she turned those words into a lifechanging mission. Shes helping others change their lives as well. A federal judge has thrown out race discrimination claims against the celebrity chef, in a lawsuit thats cost her so much of her culinary empire. Is this a victory for deen . Rebecca jarvis is here with the latest. Reporter thats the question this morning. A dramatic turn of events. A legal victory for paula deen. But in the court of public opinion, the decision may have come two months too late. This morning, the disgraced queen of southern cuisine, escaped one boiling pot of legal hot water. Mondays ruling by a federal judge puts an end to the most damaging claim against the tv star, that she had discriminated against employees based on their race. An accusation that toppled her cooking kingdom and ruined her reputation. Her first mistake was letting a milliondollar lawsuit crash a 20 million a year empire. It doesnt matter if youre right and theyre wrong. Its a business decision. And you settle it. And you make it go away. Reporter deens former restaurant manager, lisa jackson, a white woman with biracial nieces, sued deen, claiming she was offended by deens alleged discrimination against black workers in restaurant. Jacksons lawyers deposed her, asking have you ever used the n word yourself . Deen replied, yes, ovk. But only in the past. When her words leaked. Her empire crumbled. Please, forgive me, for the mistakes ive made. The food network dropped her show. And a chain of retailers cut ties. But the judges ruling stated jackson had not proven her claim. Saying she was, at best, quote, an accidental victim of the alleged Racial Discrimination. This morning, many wonder if its all too little too late. It falls apart in minutes. It can take years to rebuild. This is not a moment when the sponsors go, we wipe the splat clean, were back. Reporter deens publicist tells abc news, the star is pleased with the ruling. And deen is confident that those who truly know she lives her life, she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone. The ruling claims that deens brother sexually harassed her. The judge could rule on requests from deens lawyers to dismiss those claims, as well. We want to bring in abcs chief Legal Affairs anchor, dan abrams. What do you think about the judges decision . Youre talking about a white plaintiff. You can win. If she was able to demonstrate she wasnt able to work with her africanamerican colleagues, for example, based on this racism, that could be a legitimate claim. But the court saying theres no indication that that was the case in this particular lawsuit. And throwing it out. Keeping the Sexual Harassment claim alive. The judge saying at one point, that jackson is, at best, an accidental victim. So, is this any kind of victory at all for paula deen . Its a legal victory for paula deen. But what the judge is saying, even if everything in here is true, its still not a valid Racial Discrimination case. That doesnt help paula deen. In terms of court of public opinion, this court is not saying none of this is true. All the court is saying, even if it is true, theres not a valid race case here. And its not over yet. Thats right. The judge still keeping open the possibility of the Sexual Harassment claim. Thats different because shes saying, that happened to her. Right. As opposed to how she felt about things happening to other people. I believe the judge was saying, federal courts are not Human Resources departments. Right. Dan, thank you so much. To be continued on this one. Now, to an emotional child custody battle, to controversial the Supreme Court had to step in. Theyre ruling that a biological father, a native american, must turn her over to adoptive parents. Reporter good morning, george. This morning, little veronicas biological father has been charged with custodial interference. And the couple that once raised her struggles to bring her home. They say her biological father abandoned her and is keeping her unlawf unlawfully. Two families in turmoil, fighting over a little girl named veronica. Our daughter has been kidnapped. And i expect the situation to be treated as such. Reporter the confusing legal battle all began in 2009, when veronicas birth mother put her baby up for adoption. We were playing for a child to love and raise when christy came into our lives and selected us to be the parents of her daughter. Reporter matthew and melanie raised veronica for the first two years of her life. But when the childs father, dustin brown, a member of the cherokee nation, learned she had been adopted, he sued for custody. South dakota gave the custody to brown, citing a law that tries to keep native American Families together. They fought back. Taking their case to the u. S. Supreme court. This summer, the justices reversed the state court, ruling that brown had relinquished his parental rights. But just days ago, after a judge finalized the adoption, brown, an iraq war vet, failed to show up at a meeting with the couple and was charged with interference. This morning, brown is out on bond, but refusing to be extradited from oklahoma to south carolina. His daughter is of critical importance to him. And he intends to assert his legal rights. This morning, veronica is with her maternal grandparents. But theyre begging to get her back. They just redid her bedroom. They didnt give birth to this little girl, but they raised her from the beginning, she is their daughter. Such a difficult case. Lets get to ginger zee with the weather. Talking about all of the flooding right here and all the way back to just east of the rockies. Its not just flooding. We have dry weather. And very dry.
