>> dan, thank you. now, my exclusive interview with the mother of victim number one. her son was brave enough to step forward. and she is speaking out now to make sure justice was done and others are protected. at this time during this difficult time, we won't show her face and her voice has been altered. her son was just 11 hen he met jerry sandusky. it all seemed so innocent. when was the first time you suspected that something was wrong with the relationship? >> my son started acting out. i went to the school counselors. you know, and it was basically, they said a puberty thing. >> and at some point he came to you and said he wanted information on how to look up -- >> i asked him who he was looking up. and he wanted to see if jerry was on there. and i said, well, why would you look him up? and he said, i don't know. he's a weirdo. and i preceded to ask him if there was something he needed to tell me. and at that point, he didn't indicate anything. i called the school and expressed my concerns. i told them to pull my son down to the office and talk to him. and they did. at that point, they called me and said it was very important that i get there immediately. at that point, i already had suspicions. i kind of knew what it was about. >> reporter: that was more than a year after her son started spending more time with sandusky, alone, every week. sleeping over in his basement. that's when prosecutors say sandusky began to abuse the boy. when you read in the indictment what was going on in that basement, what went through your mind? what did you want to do? >> i was horrified. i was absolutely horrified. >> reporter: according to the grand jury indictment, high school administrators had been allowing sandusky to pull her son out of class for unsupervised visits. one wrestling coach said he even caught sandusky lying atop the boy in a secluded weight room. but the mother said she knew nothing. >> i didn't know he was taking him out of classes. they never told me that. >> reporter: why do you think your son never told you? >> well, i think it was a lot of embarrassment. he was giving me hints to figure it out. >> reporter: when you did have a chance to have a heart-to-heart with your son years after the relationship first began, tell us about that. what happened? >> we had a discussion where, you know, i had said, you know, maybe we should have, you know, come to this conclusion earlier. you should have told me. and he was like, well, you know, i didn't know what to do. i just didn't know what to do. and you just can't tell jerry no. >> reporter: he's just a little kid. >> yeah. >> reporter: and what saddens and angers her the most, the number of people who seemed to know something was going on but didn't call police, including coach joe paterno. >> do you think it was right for him to be fire? >> well, i think if he had any inclination of this, and he legally needed to do what he needed to do. but in my opinion, yes. i think they all needed to be gone. >> reporter: i can't imagine what you must be feeling. what you must be thinking. and how angry you must be. i know how angry i would be if this was something that happened to my kids. do you have any sense of how this could have gone on for so long and be so widespread and never got out? >> i have no idea. i have no idea how. i can't even imagine. i don't have any clue. >> reporter: what is your son saying now about what happened? and about everything that he's seen at penn state over the last few days? >> the students of penn state are not involved in hiding this or doing anything to him. so, he's really, you know -- he's all cheering for the team. but as far as the people who hid it, no. we have no respect for those people. >> reporter: at some point, he will be testifying in court. that's going to be very difficult. >> very. but he's a brave kid. >> reporter: how did you and your son like to see this end? what would you like to see happen? >> i want justice. i wanted him to be locked up. there's no help for somebody who does this. not like this. there's -- he needs to be put away. he needs to be put away for a long time. >> boy. that is just so hard to hear. and the mother alluded to it. what compounds the crimes is the shame they heap on these kids that make it so hard for them to speak out. and it gets to go on for so long. >> they often tell the child, no one will believe you. but her son, very brave to step up as he did. now, to politics. your voice, your vote. rick perry is now doing damage control. taking to the late-night shows to turn his remarkable gaffe at wednesday's debate into laughs. is it enough for a comeback? john berman has all the answers. >> reporter: good morning, robin. rick perry is in full-scale political rehab. it's like a 12-step plan. joke about it. joke about it. send out your wife. rinse, repeat. how do you recover after you can't remember three departments in a presidential debate? >> i would do away with education, the -- commerce. and let's see. i can't. the third one, i can't. sorry. oops. >> reporter: do the top ten on david letterman. >> you try concentrating with mitt romney smiling at you. that is one hansom dude. i wanted to help take the heat off of my buddy, herman cain. >> okay. and the number one rick perry excuse. >> i just learned that justin bieber is my father. >> reporter: perry's appearance on "the late show," was part of an all-out media assault, a "brady bunch" like appearances. >> if we're electing a betatar in chief, don't elect me. >> reporter: and the next step in debate club rehab, the wife. anita perry on the trail. >> everybody forgets something every now and then. but he remembered our anniversary last week. >> reporter: before rick perry had the flub heard around the world, the candidate was herman cain fending off allegations. cain joked with supporters about anita hill. >> did you hear the news today? anita hill is going to come here. >> is she gonna endorse me? >> reporter: the most effective p.r. tool for herman cain right now might be that he's not rick perry. rick perry recently hired george allbaugh to run his campaign. allbaugh was george bush's campaign manager. but more importantly, he ran fema. he knows how to recover from disaster. now, to diane sawyer's exclusive interview with gabby giffords. we remember that weekend in january, when the congresswoman was shot point-blank in the brain. it was hard to imagine back then that she would survive. but this remarkable woman is so full of spirit and fight. she and her astronaut husband have written a book called "gabby." and she sat down with diane for her first interview. >> the greens, the libertarians and the vegetarians. good morning, everyone. what a joy to be able to stand up and say it like it is. >> reporter: there she is, vibrant, spirited. someone called congresswoman gabrielle giffords the most positive person in congress. then, seconds after these pictures were taken, on january 8th, a man aimed a glock 19 at her head. and three feet away, pulled the trigger. >> we are following a developing story. >> a shooting at a grocery store. >> 12 people were injured -- >> reporter: through all these months, we knew her husband, astronaut commander mark kelly, was there, holding her hand in the hospital. >> how about a thumbs up? >> reporter: what we didn't know is there would be hours of videotape, of an astounding, determined journey. gabby giffords fighting her way one breath, one word, one hard-fought step at a time. there would be music for incredible breakthroughs. ♪ gee, it's great to see you looking ♪ >> reporter: and moments of despair. >> are you frustrated? >> reporter: but it was not just the journey of one woman, it was also the husband, who knew what his wife was made of. >> gabrielle giffords is too tough to let this beat her. >> reporter: the team of medical professionals. some of them astounded. and the mother who remembered her daughter, singing at the top of her lungs with hope. a mother who knows she'll make it back. >> i think gabby's got a message, now, that exceeds the political one. >> reporter: on monday night, the woman who went from this, to this. so much distance traveled, unafraid of the distance to come. how do you feel? >> pretty good. >> reporter: is it painful? is it hard? >> difficult. >> reporter: gabrielle giffords, mark kelly, a chance to answer our questions. does she think she will run for congress again? and what does she remember of that gun? the bullet? the day she was shot. >> hearing that voice for the first time. diane will be back with monday and more. you can see the entire interview monday at 10:00, 9:00 central. mark kelly will join us tuesday morning. his live interview. a lot coming up. first, let's get some news and josh elliott. >> good morning to you both and to all of you. we're going to begin in hawaii where a tourist helicopter has crashed in the side of a mountain on the island of molokai. the pilot and the four tourists were killed, two of them newlyweds from pennsylvania. a pilot from the same company crashed in 2000, killing seven people. and some dramatic looks this morning at the moment that that 5.7 magnitude earthquake struck turkey this week. security cameras show people running for their lives. there's part of buildings collapsing. and thick smoke enveloping entire neighborhoods. rescuers are finding survives. but they also found five more victims, bringing the death toll to 19. and the senate has approved part of president obama's jobs bill that will companies tax breaks for hiring veterans. the bill gives job training to vets returning to the workforce. the unemployment rate of troops returning from iraq and afghanistan is up to 15% in many areas. and on this veterans day, abc news is proud to launch a series of reports called "standing up for heroes." every abc news program today will look at the needs and sacrifices of our military service members as they return home. and later here on "gma," bob woodruff will introduce us to some of the wives and sisters and mothers who take care of our wounded warriors and help them rebuild their lives. and if you see someone in uniform today, please won't you say thank you to their sacrifice for our freedoms that we all hold so dear. >> give them a hug. say thank you. >> look at that. >> you see them in our audience here. >> thank you. we're going to head out and say thank you personally. >> it's a trifecta. it's veterans day. it's 11-11-11. and it's friday. happy friday, sam. >> all these things make me feel good today. happy friday, everyone. let's talk about the cold air. most of ul feel a chill this morning. for northern areas like chicago, it's about time. this is the latest you've gotten below freezing since we've been keeping records around chicago. but for the deep south, this is 10, 15 degrees cooler than that. a big chill that goes into florida today. for the west coast, there's some rain. timing out to meet santa barbara this afternoon. and then to san diego. the low does not go onshore in southern california, as previously thought. probably makes its way to the mexican coastline. looking around the nation this morning. nice and clear and dry in the middle of the country. we salute with our little flag on the board today. bright sunshine right now. clear skies. cold outside, and temperatures parte 30's for the most in thendchill factor is 20s at times. a blustery morning and it will day.ustery all gaithersburg. reagan national, 41 by now. highs today near 50. most of the day will be in the 40's. warmer on the >> next half hour, we'll talk about the 13 states in the deep south that have frost or freeze watches or warnings out. >> very quickly, tonight, at 7:00 p.m. on espn, the game on the aircraft carrier. >> the rain is in before the game. a dramatic ending to all the speculation over who will host the oscars after eddie murphy pulled out. he's back. billy crystal, cracking jokes about agreeing to return to the stage for hollywood's biggest night. and abc's chris connelly has the story. >> reporter: he's back. funnyman billy crystal, has once again put a smile on oscar-loving faces. >> since my grassroots run for governor didn't take hold, this felt like an option. >> reporter: agreeing on thursday to host the academy awards. for the first time since 2004. and breaking the news worldwide via twitter. am doing the oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when i pick up my prescriptions. looking forward to the show. at 63 years of age, more than last year's hosts combined, billy says he's more bernie kovac than edward and bella. but expect crystal to find ways to connect comedically, with something unconnected to his eight oscar stints. >> crystal is so synonymous with the oscars, i think people love the idea of him hosting again. and he gets to come in on his own head of steam. >> reporter: member jack palance from 1992?

abc's linsey davis joins us with the latest on the case. we haven't forgotten about this. >> reporter: not at all. good morning to you, robin. the family has been delaying the interview with lisa's half-brothers for more than a month. now, a child specialist is talking with them, in hopes of getting new information. and all this, as today, baby lisa turns 1 year old. >> i prefer to believe it is baby lisa's first birthday, as opposed to this would have been. >> reporter: instead of celebrating their sister's birthday, baby lisa's half-brothers are now answering questions. after weeks of delays, child specialists are interviewing the 5-year-old and 8-year-old boys. they were home the night lisa went missing and haven't been questioned since. in that time, police say they've followed about 1,000 leads and still have no major break in the case. >> we have no blood. we have no body. we have no area where the body may be. so, that gives me hope that this baby very well may be alive. >> reporter: lisa's parents, deborah bradley and jeremy irwin, have insisted all along their daughter was abducted from her crib. and bradley's father tells "the kansas city star," his daughter is telling the truth. people are judging whether debbie's crying too much or not enough. his daughter has come under considerable scrutiny. bradley admits to failing a lie detector test. and says on the night baby lisa went missing, she drank to the point that she may have blacked out. certain details do appear to support her story. three eyewitnesses say they saw a man carrying an infant from the home on the night lisa disappeared. and this woman, megan wright, says she received a call placed from a cell phone bradley says was stolen from her home that night. >> i don't know who answered it or what was said or who was on the other end of the phone. >> reporter: lisa's parents say they never met wright. >> if there is a history of someone making the call by jeremy or deborah, someone must have made that call that knows her. >> reporter: "the kansas city star" talked to debbie's mother-in-law. saying there's no way she couldn't have done this. she's just not smart enough. not that she's dumb. but she couldn't have covered it up so well. >> we'll ask about that. thank you, linsey. joining us now, is the attorney for lisa's parents, joe tacopina. thank you for joining us. how are they going to recognize today as being her 1 year birthday? >> this is a tough day of celebration. obviously, they're really hopeful. they believe that lisa's still alive. but they're going to recognize and deal with this day privately. this is not going to be something that they wish to share with anyone. >> it's going to be very difficult. the brothers, finally, last night, met with police. they were interviewed. reinterviewed. they were interviewed shortly after the abduction. any new clues or anything to 2k3wi6 light to police with? >> we weren't privy to that interview. we weren't in there with them. there was a child specialist in there. you know, they answered questions for a second time. hopefully there is something they can take from them, from those questions that will give us some insight. >> the parents were concerned they would be traumatized. there was delay in the interviewing taking place. are they satisfied how it was conducted? >> we were concerned. it's 6-year-old and 8-year-old boys who have been through a lot. and we wanted to make sure that the person questioning these two boys would have the best interest of the children at hand. this is a sensitive issue. the fbi flew in a specialist from washington just yesterday. and we think that everything went fine. >> police are saying they haven't interviewed the parents since october 8th. that's a little over a month now. and they would like to talk to the parents separately. what is that saying? >> i'm baffled by that whole pronouncement. this family has done nothing but cooperate. yesterday, they allowed 6-year-old and 8-year-old boys to be interviewed. they didn't have to do that. they searched every every follicle request, every swab test request. they spoke to the kcpd and the fbi. they don't have any insight on what happened to their daughter. the last time they went down there, deborah was told the last time she went down there by her attorney at the time, the police said come down, we have information about lisa's whereabouts, new evidence. she went down there. and they had no new evidence about her whereabouts. but it was another interrogation when they accused her. and i think that was overly cruel. she doesn't have answers. what we've asked, our local attorney in kansas city. we said, what do you need from them? tell us and we can get you information. that has never come to us. >> many say the parents of a missing child, they would be willing to talk to police, whenever, whatever time, as much as they can, because they might not have information. >> they've answered questions for 19 hours. it's become accusatory, quite frankly. and we say, instead of keeping the focus on them, there is evidence. there's viable leads out there that to me are powerful. i don't know why the leads aren't being pursued. we had someone call jersey. a quasi homeless individual who finished work around 11:30 p.m. that night, in the vicinity of the irwin home. at 12:00, there was a sighting soon after midnight, by two, husband and wife neighbors, who they say see a man fitting jersey's description, walking with a baby with just a diaper on. at 2:00 a.m., we see the grainy surveillance video. in that vicinity, a dumpster was set on fire with clothes in it. an hour and a half later, a separate individual identifies a man again, at 4:15 a.m., holding a baby with a diaper. at 11:57, there's a phone call from deb's missing cell phone that went missing with the baby, to megan wright. megan wright doesn't know deb. that's jersey's ex-girlfriend. >> the police insisted they have been following through on those and other leads. >> i hope they have been. they're honing in repeatedly on this poor mother. >> joe, thank you very much as always, for being willing to come and talk to us. appreciate that. let's get to sam and the weather. >> good morning, everyone. fingers are flying in the deep south. and not everyone is happy about this. 13 states with freeze or frost watches or warnings. in atlanta, you hit the door and it's like what?
