That Movie Theater shooting speaking out overnight. Ive never told so many people, my family and friends that ive loved them as i have in the past five days. The woman credited with saving so many lives revealing what happened inside that theater for the first time. How she found the strength to get out alive. And good morning, america. Lets get right to that huge break in the search for missing malaysian flight 370. One of the biggest mysteries in aviation history vanished without a trace more than 500 days ago. Now the first clues, a brandnew one coming in just moments ago. Reports this suitcase was found near the wing fragment that washed ashore. Flight 370 disappeared over the night sky back in march of last year. The search has covered more than 46,000 square miles. This is the last known location of the plane and the 239 people on board it. Abcs bob woodruff has been covering the story from the very beginning and he joins us now. Good morning, bob. Reporter good morning, amy. From here in beijing, you know, this has been big news here today. 153 of the passengers were chinese. Families have been living with this tragedy for more than 16 months, perhaps this mystery is starting to unravel. Its about six feet long covered in barnacles and other marine life, a broken bit of wreckage that may hold answers to the mystery of what happened to flight mh370. It was found on a beach in the French Island of reunion in the indian ocean more than 3500 miles from where australia continues to lead the search for clues. And an farther from the last confirmed position of the plane near malaysia. It could have covered that distance in the 16 months since the aircraft presumably went into the water. Reporter aviation experts believe the part of the plane ahere tere appears to be a flap. None have crashed in this part of the world. It took off with 239 aboard from kuala lumpur but disappeared from radar screens less than an hour later. The last communication was when the boeing 777 flew over the south china sea, the final words from the cockpit, good night, malaysian 370. A number on the wreckage is expected to help investigators in the identification process. This number most likely not a serial or Registration Number but officials believe it could be a maintenance number. Back here in beijing even if this turns out to be a wing part from flight 370, many relatives just wouldnt believe it. This man told me that any announcement by Malaysia Airlines would be a company conspiracy to cover everything up. This woman lost her five family members including her sister and grandson. If its proven to be true she says no matter what the offs say about the wing it will be a lie. Theyve been doing the same thing since last year, she says. They just keep changing their explanation. Of course, not everyone believes in conspiracy here in china. Others do believe their friends or family members did not survive. They are just waiting for the facts to be confirmed so that they can finally get some closure. George. Okay, bob, thanks. More on this from stephen ganyard. What more could we know . Weve seen few 777s that have gone done and have bb670. What does that tell us . I think were seeing some positive reports this morning, george, that suggest that this is a piece of a 777 and i tri that given the paint and all the other extenuating circumstances i think that we can probably say that this will be and will turn out to be a piece of malaysia 370. So what does that tell us about where the plane went down . Unfortunately not much. Remember this piece has been out at sea adrift for 16 months and if you look at the currents in the indian ocean they really run in a counterclockwise formation, counter circular formation so its taken that 16 months for these pieces to drift from where we think the airplane hit the water all the way back over to the other side of the interkwan ocean so its drifted for so long, theres probably no evidence on the piece itself that will help us figure out why the airplane went down or where it sits at the bottom now. So does it change the search area at all . No, i dont think it will. Its drifted so far away and done forensics and analysis pointing at that part of the indian ocean off the australian coast still remains the valid place where theyre looking. George, ive met with these investigators three times over the past six months in canberra. They today remain absolutely convinced that they will find the wreckage of mh370 on the bottom of the indian ocean. After we get the first clue, okay, steve, thanks very much. Now to that Cincinnati Police officer charged with murder for shooting a driver during a traffic stop, yet another case where the officer is white, the victim is black and the body cam video shows how quickly it escalated out of control. Abcs tom llamas is in cincinnati with more. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning to you. The family of the victim praising god that body cam video exists, but the attorney for the Police Officer telling me his client is being crucified and that he only learned of the indictment on live television.

Do you have your license on you . Uh, yeah. Whats that bottle on the floor there . Reporter dubose hands over what looks like a bottle of gin but fails to produce his license. Im asking you a direct question. Do you have a license on you . Reporter thats when tensing reaches for the car door. I didnt do anything. Go ahead and take your seat belt off, stop, stop. Reporter you can hear the gunshot. Duboses car starts rolling out of control. Tensing racing after it until it crashes. The engine still revving. We need a medic now. Reporter moments later on police radio this is how tensing describes what happened. I almost got run over by the car. He took off on me. I discharged one round. Struck the man in the head. Reporter the officer later claiming in a Police Report he was being dragged by the vehicle and had to fire his weapon. Prosecutors say tensing never should have pulled the trigger. This is the most assnine act ive seen a Police Officer make. Reporter a second video taken from the body cam of another officer shows tensing on the ground. Do you think your client was dragged by that car . You can tell from the second video that he was, in fact, how he ended up on the ground in the middle of the street. Reporter he says his 25yearold client cried when learning of the indictment. He just hand face in his hands, dropped to the table and just astonished. Couldnt believe it. Reporter duboses mother had this message for the officer who took her sons life. May god have mercy on your soul. Reporter now, tensings attorney believes dubose may have been trying to get away because of his extensive criminal record, arrested more than 50 times. I asked the dubose family about this and they say he has never run from the law and hes had multiple opportunities. George. Okay, tom, thanks very much. We learn so much from these body cams. We turn to a new wildfire erupting in the west overnight. Hundreds of people forced to flee their homes. Thousands of acres scorched. Abcs Neal Karlinsky is in lake county with the latest. Reporter george, good morning of the you can see the latest fire chewing up the hillside here. Firefighters on the road working it. This exploded out of nowhere yesterday. Already up to 3,000 acres.

About 25 reporter in butte county theyre trying to hold this back from more homes. This 85yearold woman unable to walk had to slide down her driveway to escape the fire. Im here. Im alive. Reporter 500 acres burning so far and just 10 contained. Here in lake county, mandatory evacuations after this massive fire spread for 150 to more than 3,000 acres in just six hours.

Air tankers dropping retardant trying to contain the blaze. In oakhurst, fires spreading and exploding in the night sky. That fire at 30 containment now over 2,000 acres burning since saturday. Officials announced yesterday the fire was started by a juvenile male. The winds have died down somewhat this morning. That will help firefighters, but its going to be another broiling hot day out here. Tripledigit temperatures again. Just what they dont need. Makes it so tough. The race for president now, your voice, your vote, and a new poll this morning shows donald trump till at the top of the gop field, one week before the first big debate. Lets break it down with jon karl. Another strong showing for trump. Some signs of trouble too. Reporter donald trump once again here on top with a commanding lead. The poll conducted by Quinnipiac University has trump with 20 of the vote followed by scott walker and jeb bush with the rest of the field barely registering at all but in a hypothetical matchup against hillary clinton, trump does quite poorly. Jeb bush, scott walker, both would be virtually tied against hillary clinton. Donald trump gets trounced by more than by double digits and one key category here that explains that. Trump leads among those who say there is no way they would vote for him onethird of republicans say no way they would vote for donald trump. And, jon, this next week is the debate. Only the top ten will be in the first debate so this could help shuffle the bottom of that lineup, as well. Reporter yeah, theres probably as much attention at the bottom spaces on this poll and right now you have a battle for tenth with four governors, chris christie, rick perry, bobby jindal and john kasich are all right between 8 and 12 in the poll.

If nothing occurred during the afc championship game, it doesnt make sense he should be serving any discipline. Reporter new England Patriots owner robert kaeft blasting the nfl and longtime friend commissioner Roger Goodell over their call to uphold the suspension. The decision handed down by the league yesterday is unfathomable to me. Reporter the super bowl winning owner fuming. The patriots accepting a penalty of 1 million and draft picks despite being exonerated in the scandal. I was willing to accept the harshest penalty in the history of the nfl for an alleged ball violation because i believed it would help exonerate tom. Reporter goodells decision to uphold the suspension praised by owners like the Dallas Cowboys jerry jones. Weve got a commissioner that is outstanding. He has to make hard calls. Reporter but condemned by brady. Maintaining in this Facebook Post i did nothing wrong and no one in the Patriots Organization did either.

All right, back now with a question a lot of people have been asking after the nfl said tom brady destroyed his phone with thousands of Text Messages on it. Does destroying your phone actually delete the messages . How do you get rid of all your personal information when you turn in your ole phone . Abcs gio benitez is here with what you need to know. Good morning, gio. Reporter good morning, michael. The issue is many Text Messages are not just stored on your phones, theyre floating around on some server so this morning weve got the guide to your digital privacy. Whats the best way to get rid of data on your cell phone . Manu manualally delete or even physically destroy . Gma investigates has shown you how people think theyve deleted the info on their phone, only to be completely wrong especially thanks to digital clouds, automatically storing all of that info right in cyberspace. Out of 100 phones we looked at with a company elysium. 31 had what i considered to be disturbing personal information. Reporter real information a real crook can do something with. We found Social Security numbers, bank account number, passwords. Reporter 2,838 photos extracted so what can you do to protect your information if you decide to sell or dump your phone . We went to the experts at cnet. The chose common mistake is asupering setting the reset button will reset all the data. Reporter for an iphone log out of all of your accounts. Then go to your settings menu. The instinct hit reset all settings, right . That is actually the wrong thing to do. You should actually hit the second option here, erase all content and settings and thatll effectively wipe the phone. Reporter as for an android encrypt it under the security menu before hitting factory data reset all under setting. Even though you erase the data you want to encrypt it so if it manages to get recovered it wont be easily accessible. Reporter Text Messages, are they ever completely gone . It depends. Two major phone Companies Tell Us they keep records of Text Messages which for some include date, time and phone number and one attorney who dealt with this telling gma phone carriers typically only preserve the content of Text Messages for three to five days. If someone destroys his cell phone and the cell phone carriers records are subpoenaed, all the records will show is that a text was sent from one phone to another. Reporter now the experts at cnet telling us if privacy is important to you, apps like snapchat are encrypting their messages making them much more difficult to read and hack but the number one tip, have a really strong password on that phone. Not 1234 like yours michael. You gave it away. Got to change it now in they can have my phone. Pictures move cats and babies, texts from my wife saying go to the store. Its not that big of a deal.

Launched a campaign on facebook to prove just how powerful social media can be. Paula faris here with the story. Reporter hey there, this started with one simple but very powerful post on social media. A consumer said she didnt like what she saw in that store and the goal now is that this story empowers women from all over the globe to speak up to retailers and say, this isnt right. I want to be reflected in your stores. Theyre the widely popular Clothing Store known for their kinney jeans and even skinnier mannequins but topshop with an aboutface this morning after one concerned shopper posted this photo on facebook. Laura berrys message was poignant writing every day i am surrounded by strong women and men who struggle with the daily battle of body image. Id love to hear how you can justify the ridiculously tiny mannequin adding, perhaps its about time you became responsible for the impression you have on women and young girls. Topshop heard her loud and clear. Responding almost immediately saying, Going Forward we are not placing any further orders on this style of pan quinn. And that weve taken yours and other customers opinions and feedback on board. The more people are exposed to very thin mannequin, the more likely theyre going to have body image problems. Reporter in an interview with bbcs points west berry said posting that was an emotional decision. I hoped other women would read it, see it and feel as though theyre not alone if they feel that way when shopping. Reporter topshop mannequins are six feet tall and reportedly wear a u. S. Size 4 or 6 but those extremely lengthy limbs and sleek thighs have many questioning its true size especially when the average American Woman is 54 and wears a size 12 or 14. And to show the difference between topshops mannequin and her size 4 or 6 frame, one woman posting this pic to demonstrate that contrast. Mannequins dont just sell clothes, they inform beauty ideals that are reflected in our society. Reporter regardless topshops decision, one giant victory for women of all shapes and sizes. Now, this mannequin im going to call her danielle in honor of you, dan, shes standing in the box about six feet tall. Ill take my shoes off. Shes approximately a size 4 or 6, but topshops mannequin in question appears to be even thinner and you guys imagine walking into a store youre shopping and see that, my thighs touch and im proud of it. I just want to say that but these mannequins really shape the ideals and beauty standards and im just glad that theyre actually doing something about it. I didnt hear anything else you said. My thighs touch. Paula, i heard you because i think especially young girls walk in and feel like how i can never look like that and the clothes never look the same either so its deacceseceptive you get into the dressing room. Mannequins typically have the tops and blouses cinched in the back. Not reality. Lets just say that. Thank you, paula, for your honesty. We appreciate that. And, you know, also burning up the heat index, this is a question i have for you too, dan. Want to get your life in order . Oh, really. Yes. Why are you asking me. The lifechanging magic of tidying up, just cleaning up a little bit. You can get your life in order by decluttering your home and shes known as the beyonce of organizer, one of times top 100 influential people.

Im among those ranks. How you store your clothes the ones you decided to keep is key. Paula is folding. I love to fold. Once you get your fears in order your whole life is in order. So paula is going to show us how to fold. So socks. Ill do a shirt. You cant lay flimsy material on top of flimsy material. Youre not respecting the piece. Make it nice and taut, rectangular. And you can see everything you have this way. Vertical storage is key. No more of laying things on top of each other. I like it. Want to scan each piece as soon as you open and fit more. I got rid of my dresser and fit everything i had nye closet now. No more you can roll then or fold them then you know how they get baggy at the top, they dont anymore. I love it. Clothing is one thing, the harder thing is getting rid of the miscellaneous and sentimental. You have to build up your backbone to decide does this spark joy. When you take out photos, you wind up reducing them by 30 and keeping five photos per each special event. Thats a really good way to look at it. Tough. We have the cloud too. We have the cloud.

And its its hard for me not to love any child really. Having to fight for her is not really very hard. What was the toughest scene each of you shot . Theres a scene where i tell her that i cant i cant be there for her in a certain moment and her response, her reaction to me was really hard. I see it now because hes an angry character and theres a moment i think where you realize what you pass on, you know, and he passed on anger to her and she expresses it in a similar way that he does and its this really powerful scene, amazing work by her.
