And finally, imagine getting nominated by the president for the biggest job of your life. Only to be upstaged by a house fly. As jon karl just told you, mr. Obama announcing his picks for top regulators when the uninvited guest, buzzed around, landing on his forehead, forcing him to acknowledge his presence. This guys bothering me.

But the very young and the elderly, you have to worry about dehydration. And i know you can obviously catch this from infected people. But unlike the seasonal flu, you can get this from food and people who prepare your food. Thats right. This is one of the most contagious viruses we deal with. You have to meticulous to avoid getting it. If you live with someone that has it or youre in contact, hand washing is key. This is one where the soap and water is the way to go. Alcohol gels dont really work. You want to clean surfaces with cleaners that contain bleach. You want to read the label. If it doesnt have bleach, you can mix up bleach and water. And if someone has this, they cant prepare food while they have it or for three days afterwards. It is that contagious. Theres no vaccine for this. No vaccine. No real treatment, except fluids. You want to prevent dehydration. Thanks for the warning. Now, to an unusual crime wave thats also sweeping the country.

Reporter why is it so serious . Last year, the National Retail foundation found that 95 of companies were victimized by organized retail fraud. Okay, gio, thanks very much.

About a man who figured out how to live in a multimilliondollar mansion for free. He just came in and squatted. And so far, neighbors arent able to do anything about it. Ron claiborne has the details. Reporter its a magnificent mansion in boca raton, florida, worth 2. 5 million. But the guy living there these days is paying nothing. Hes squatting. And for now, no one can legally get him out. His name is andre barbosa, a 23yearold native of brazil, seen here on his facebook page. Barbosa moved in last september, after the last owner, unable to keep up with mortgage payments, moved out. Theres been so many foreclosures, theres a loss of control of property. Reporter incredibly, the squatter filed legal possession, adverse possession, an absecure 19th century law, that allows someone to claim property by occupying it for seven years. Barbosa, whose nickname is loki, posted this no trespassing notice. His neighbors arent at all amused. Nobodys happy. Reporter adverse possession is legal in all 50 states. Kenneth robinson lived in this 300,000 home in texas for free for eight months before he was finally ousted. In the florida case, bank of america tells abc news, we have filed the appropriate and immediate legal action to have this trespasser removed from the property. In the meantime, this mischievous master of this mansion lives on in luxurious splendor, for free. For Good Morning America, ron claiborne, abc news, new york. I guess i just dont get this. There is an owner, the bank. Exactly. And trespassing is still illegal, correct . Bizarre. Well find out. Tba. With the super bowl a week from sunday, a lot of people are already making up their party menus for the big game. And apparently there is a crisis looming about a super bowl staple. Were talking about chicken wings. Oh, no. Will there be enough . Darren ravel is our wingman. Is there something on my face . Youre a wing person . I am. Thats the majority you have a lot on your face. Im eating. For the past decade, the popularity of the chicken wing has soared, as football fans have spent sundays eating them by the bucketfull. But is there enough supply for our demand . The chicken wing has been around for a long time. A quick bite of delicious fried goodness. And if there ever was a season of the wing, this is it. Super bowl time. The 49ers are going to the super bowl. Reporter some wing fans are now reeling, after word that demand for the humble, little wing has grown too big. Will there be enough for all of us come sunday . Or will some be crying foul . Harbaugh goes crazy on the sideline. Reporter in order to have chicken wings, we, of course, need chickens. And rumors are flying that theres just not enough of them to satisfy our wingeating culture. The supply is limited by the number of chickens and demand for other chicken parts. I mean, suppliers arent creating demand for just the wings. They have to find other things to do with the chickens, as well. The National Chicken council, says 1. 2 billion wings will be eaten on super bowl sunday, alone. Lay all those wings out endtoend, and you get a wingspan reaching from the 49ers Candlestick Park to the Baltimore Ravens stadium 27 times. But none of the major chains we spoke to said theyre worried about running out for the big game. That doesnt mean that at some point we wont be getting the short end of the chick. Sorry. I had a lot of pun theres. But had to use that one. Putting more pressure on the supply with last summers drought, combined with using that corn crop used to feed the chicken with ethanol. Will you be serving or eating chicken wings on super bowl sunday . And 35 of you said yes. Lets come up with a tenwing chick chicken. We can genetically engineer anything. We need these things.

Everyone on the crew was so happy to see her. Wasnt it great . [ applause ] an emotional time just hearing her voice. Hey, robin. You know this is her tune. Were going to turn to a serious story. Its the brutal murder of a philadelphia pediatrician. Jason smith, an exterminator, spotted going to her home. And Alex Marquardt is in philadelphia with the latest. Reporter jason smith was arraigned last night and ordered held without bail. This is a man without a criminal background, no connection to the doctor. But reportedly, a long history of anger problems. This surveillance photo is what led investigators to 36yearold jason smith, as he walked through the neighborhood where mr. Melissa ketunuti loved. Abc news is learning more about smith, the exterminator who police say showed up at the home of ketunuti to handle her rodent problem. They got into some type of argument. It went terribly wrong. At that point, he struck her while she was in the basement, knocked her down, strangled her to death. And ultimately start the fire. Reporter smith admitted to the brutal murder. Sources telling abc news affiliate wpvi, that smith told police that ketunuti had del belittled him. At some point, it was solemn. But other points it was sort of like he was in a fog. Reporter smith is now charged with murder, arson, abuse of a corpse, and risking a catastrophe. Cory owns a coffee shop on ketunutis street. They saw ketunuti walking home from doing errands. And just steps behind her, smith. 45 minutes later, we see the same guy walking past. He looked a little more disheveled and has gloves on. Reporter police say after the murder, smith circled ketunutis block twice, before heading off to another job. A family friend of many years, told abc news he was a problem child growing up. He had behavior and anger issues. He also liked to set things on fire. People like mr. Smith basically walk around with a huge chip on their shoulder. And they feel so inadequate and so insecure, that any perceived belittlement of them will set them off. Reporter and just a short while ago, we received a statement from the ketunuti family reading, melissa was a source of joy to everyone in her life. Her passing has left an enormous gap in our lives. And the family requests privacy to mourn. As for jason smith, we next expect to see him in court in three weeks. George . Alex, thanks. Lets get more from our gma legal analyst, dan abrams. You have the confession, dan. You have the tapes. How do they begin to mount a defense . This is story of everyones nightmare, right . You invite someone in to fix something and something happens. You have an alleged confession. The only defense you can think of is a manslaughter type of defense. There was no intent to commit murder. It was a heat of the moment thing that came up. The problem for him is what happened afterwards. Now, legally, that shouldnt matter. Right . The question legally should be, what was his intent . What were his actions when he did that . But it is impossible to ignore what happened afterwards. And that is, of course, setting the body on fire. How do judges and juries balance out . On the other hand, so brutal. On the other hand, no premeditation. A judge and jury, jury in particular, is going to look at all the facts. Going to look at exactly what happened. And i think this is why its hard for him because when people, in a case like this, where it may not be an issue of did he do it, but why . Those are tough cases for the defendants to win because most of the time jurors look at what happened, they look at the victim and say, this is simply inexcusable. Dan abrams, thanks very much. Now, to more on notre dame football star, manti teo, speaking out to abcs katie couric, about the elaborate hoax he was ensnared in. He shared voicemails left by the fake girlfriend. But whose voice is it . Abcs matt gutman has the story. Babe, im just calling to say good night. I love you. Reporter this is the voice allegedly behind the hoax heard around the world. Um, yeah. So, get your rest. And ill talk to you tomorrow. I love you so much, hon. Sweet dreams. Reporter the voice of a woman manti teo told abcs katie couric, he thought was the love of his life. A woman named lennay he met online, but never actually saw in person. These voicemails which he says he received from lennay, are all part of the elaborate hoax and alter ego supposedly created by this man, ronaiah tuiasosopo. But one say its his cousin. In one voice recording, lennay accuses teo of having a girl in his room. And you can hear her crying in the message. I dont care. Reporter one source said thats the way tino cries. They, along with the thousandsplus phone calls, were really all ronaiah, a man, altering his voice. You think that might have been a man on the other end of the phone . Well, it didnt sound like a man. It sounded like sounded like a woman. But if he somehow made that voice, thats incredible. Reporter teo says he did meet ronaiah in person. Theyre together after a notre dame game in october, after lennay had died. At the time, tuiasosopo was posing as lennays cousin. Teo didnt recognize the voice. And was questioned if the woman on the phone was ronaiah or someone else. We took the voicemails to four audio experts. These are women. Its the pitch. Its the frequency range. Its the intonation. I dont believe a male could simulate that. Reporter here at invisible studios in hollywood, we learned with the right equipment, to change your voice into a woman, is not that easy. And to be as convincing as teos tormentor, even harder. I love you. Reporter sources in the Polynesian Community say ronaiah was trying to protect his cousin. But he, too, might need protection. He still faces possible misdemeanor charges. We reached out to his attorney, who refuses to comment. Amy . All right. Matt gutman with the latest. Thank you.

Moving on to an alarming story. Its about women going online and then discovering compromising photos of themselves that were intended to be private but then have been posted on a very public website by exboyfriends. As abcs Bianna Golodryga reports, a group of women in texas are fighting back with a lawsuit. I was at work monday. And a friend of mine called. Reporter its the moment holly, a teachers aide in texas, says her life became a living hell. Overheard people talking about a website. Its pictures, explicit photos that people have posted. And she said, youre on there. Reporter she found seminude photos she once sent to a former boyfriend, now posted on a porn site. I just cant imagine why someone would do this to anyone. Her pictures, along with those of other women, were on texxxan. Com, a revenge porn site. Photos taken innocently for a former Love Interest are posted as a form of payback. Theres email addresses, phone numbers. Your home address, often get posted along with some of these photos. Reporter thats what happened to marianna. He eventually got me to trust him. And i did. Reporter she says a man she had been dating for a few months posted her private photos on the same site. He even called her, one of my exploits. I guess i didnt know people were that horrible. Reporter this morning, these two women, along with dozens of others, are trying to reclaim their privacy. Together, they filed a petition for damages, in hopes to have a classaction lawsuit certified against texxxan. Com and its host site, godaddy. These sites are about public humiliation. I dont regret speaking publicly about it, if thats what it takes to make a change. Reporter word of the issue is spreading. Sites like womenagainstrevengeporn are popping up. Texxxan. Com is down. Godaddy. Com has not responded to our calls. It goes without saying. And all boyfriends become exboyfriends at some point. Reporter unless they become husbands. Were going to turn to the talk swirling around beyonce and her performance at the inaugurations. All kinds of opinions about whether she lipsynced and whether it matters. But the one person we havent heard from is beyonce herself. Building up hype and the pressure for her appearance at the super bowl. Linsey davis has that. Reporter some believe that beyonce made a backup track in the first place is because she had enough time to practice the anthem because of all the time she has been putting in the super bowl. Sources say her plan is to silence critics by letting her halftime performance speak for itself. This morning, critics continue to ring the alarm. Ring the alarm reporter over beyonces possibly lipsynced inauguration performance. And while beyonce cant seem to move on, shes keeping her lips sealed for now. She certainly isnt trying to hide. Here she is in a photo, holding a restaurant for mothers in new orleans, where shes preparing for her upcoming halftime show at super bowl xlvii. There were a lot of pressure on beyonce to deliver at this upcoming super bowl performance. Now, theres certainly more pressure. Reporter now, the big question. Will she or wont she lipsync at the big game . Two years ago, when the black eyed peas chose to sing live, their performance was panned by fans and critics alike. Will. I. Am took to the air waves to defend beyonce. Its not like she was lipsyncing someone elses vocals. Reporter and then, there was this performance from madonna, at last years super bowl. She apparently chose to lipsync. And still called it one of the most nerveracking experiences of her career. As for beyonce, some say she would be crazy not to use at least one backup track. It is difficult to sing and dance at the same time. So, i would not be at all surprised if she were to lipsync. Reporter one source close to beyonce told us weekly that in the wake of all the lipsyncing hubbub, she cant wait to knock them dead at the super bowl. Lipsync or not, it sounds like beyonce will bring nothing but her agame. According to us weekly, beyonce will kick off the halftime show with crazy in love, and be joined by her destinys child bandmates. I think she should sing i dont think youre ready for this jelly. Many people anticipating she is going to hit it out of the ballpark or the stadium. People are going to go crazy and ready to support beyonce. Thank you for that. We haare jumpstarting your january all month long. This week, all about love. What happens when the roles get reversed . Abbie boudreau has the story. Reporter what would happen if girls were to behave more like guys . I love you. Thank you. Theres a difference between, you know, showing affection when it comes to guys and girls. Reporter its the flipside. A hilarious viral video series, more than 2 million views and counting. Where men become the sensitive type. I remember when you used to open the door for me. Reporter and women, they dont hold back. What do you like to drink . Raspberry kamikaze. That sounds good. We wanted to show guys being good. Reporter this is what it looks like on the flipside. Flipping gender roles. From the gym. To the bar. I love this song. What . I love this song. Whoa. Hey. Its fun to see the roles totally reversed, especially in the bar. Guys get so aggressive. Reporter they always crash the party. Thats the biggest one they love. See this happens. Reporter the creators say theyre tapping into their reallife relationships for endless onscreen drama. I have a girlfriend that hates valentines day. But if i dont do anything, id get into trouble there. You said you didnt want to do anything. Reporter in the spirit of flipping. You know how sensitive guys are. But they love chocolate. So, i got them a box. Thats so nice. Reporter i swear, you did great. For Good Morning America i swear the camera does not add ten pounds. Abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Nobody knows the dos and donts of dating better than this man, Chris Harrison. The longtime host of the bachelor, and bachelorette, has seen it all. What do you think, chris . Its the social dynamic of the bachelorette pushing that envelope. I think the roles have been pushed. I dont think theyve been reversed. I think it gets to a certain point. And i see it on the bachelorette, you go back to the traditional roles. In the end, its the guy that gets down on one knee. You get to that point. And i think the woman wants to be treated like a lady. I think a man wants to treat a woman like that. It will get to a certain degree. I dont think anybody really wants to do a 180. What do you see on the show . On the bachelor and bachelorette . Does it work . I think it does work. You see sean on the bachelor. When the women get out of the limo, its a natural progression. When its the woman there, and the guys are put in a role theyre not used to, its awkward for them. Again, thats why i love the show. It just raises that debate. But eventually, i find on the bachelorette, the roles do reverse. And the guys go back to taking control. I think more and more women want to take more command of the situation. A new day has dawned. And by the way, as they should. Its great when a woman comes up and starts a conversation. Wants to pay for obviously, thats great. Those roles have changed. But dont you want to be treated like a lady at the end of the day . Of course. But treated like an equal. I think we all want that. In your experience, what advice would you give women in the dating world of how to add a little bit of the manning up, but be careful. I think its being assertive, being confident. That goes with everything. Knowing yourself and being confident, and being happy with yourself. And realizing this goes both ways. Somebody else isnt going to make you happy. Someone else isnt going to complete you. Once you figure that out, the pieces fall together for you. What do you like in a lady . How about that for a loaded question . U work youve seen what works and what doesnt. I think you are somebody that can give us insight on women everywhere. For me, its knowing what i like. Im a pretty traditional guy. I grew up in what i call the south, dallas, texas. I like old traditions. I like being a gentleman. I like being able to open a door and pay for i like that. You wouldnt want the manning up . To a certain degree. But i like somebody whos we all do. Smart, good conversationalist, can add to the situation and the equation, for sure. Lets talk a little bit about this season of the bachelor. I want someone like you to support me and take care of me. I would support you. Would you love me forever . If i wasnt married. It would be amazing. Speaking of lasting relationships yeah. Wondering how seans doing on the bachelor. Were three episodes in . Three episodes in. Phenomenally well. I knew people would fall in love with him. He has something, doesnt he . You met him when he was here on gma. I saw it when he was on with emily. I think it was hidden. Now, hes had his time to shine. He has the great charisma and the charm to make the women feel like theyre the only ones in the room. Is it sincere . It is sincere. You cant fake that. Thats why americas falling in love with him. But also 15 women on our show is falling in love with him, which is bound to cause trouble and drama. Thank you for the insight. Thank you for the tips on the bachelor. Check that out on monday.
