kidnapper in an interview said that he took the americans to secure the release of his uncle, an uncle taken into custody for refusing to pay $100 in a bribe to police officer at a check point. the standpoint was under way as senator clinton was visiting the area. it's a revolution that's left the egyptian military having no control in large areas of the country. allowing these kidnappings and the anguish for the families worried about their loved ones. >> we're all in good spirits because we know that the god that we serve is in control of the matter. >> there's some good news this morning, we're told that the kidnapper told a reporter that the pastor and the woman are doing fine and usually these kind of kidnappings have a happy ending. we're still very tense and very worrying moments for that family in boston. back to you guys. >> david, thank you. let's get it over to ron claiborne for a look at the news breaking overnight. lot going on. >> i got in a limit bit late here.

theory about what happened leading up to that accident. questions are swirling this morning in the wake of kerry kennedy's arrest after possibly ambien-fuelled hit and run. sideswiping a tractor-trailer, leaving the scene perhaps not even aware of what she was doing. it all happened here north of new york city, police said kennedy admitted to taking ambien which contradicts a statement from her publicist. but these may not be contradictions at all. >>. >> details of friday accident, the public image who has no known -- for a drug that's suppose to help you sleep it's amazing how active you be and not even know it. there are numerous claims of sleep driving. a woman learned that she was sleep cooking, even fried an egg. another woman woke up and didn't even realize she that she was home. kerry kennedy's cousin admitted to taking ambien before crashing his car near capitol hill. she's back in court tuesday where it could go either way. >> she'll need to attend. >> now, the results of kerry kennedy's toxicologies are still pending. whatever those results can play a big role in her defense. >> this is a scary drug in at will of way. >> reporter: diana, thank you very much. we'll turn now for the race for the white house. it's your voice, your vote. mitt romney, the call to release tax returns is coming from his own party, paul bentley said quote, if you have things to hide, then maybe you're doing things wrong. we're joined by host of "this week" george stephanopoulos. safe to say this wasn't a good week for mitt romney. for someone to go within his own party to be more forthcoming. >> it's pretty tough. bentley came out with another statement that he said that romney didn't do anything wrong. no question increasing the pressure on romney to do that. i talked to the romney campaign this week, they're holding firm so far, he'll release his tax returns from 2011 probably sometime in september. they're going to draw the line there, you can bet the obama campaign and all of his allies aren't going to give this up. >> is this tactic working, focusing on his past opposed to a weak economy now. >> so far it seems to be working for the obama campaign. 75% of those ads are focused on mitt romney's record. when you look at the polling in those states right now, by 2 to 1, voters have a negative image of him in the private sector. they're trying to disqualify romney in the eyes of voters. >> quickly, another week, another name for vp, condi rice. >> big week for condi rice in the drudge report. i would be shocked to see it. i know that peggy noonan is shocked. >> lot of people talking. we'll know in the next few weeks. >> all right, george, thank you. join george later on this "this week." when he speaks to rahm emanuel and

great white shark that killed a suffer in australia. abc's john muller is covering the story. >> reporter: all right, dan, surfers and sharks always had an uneasy relationship. this year is like no other one on record. the latest victim, the fifth killed by a shark down under this year. surfing was his soul according to his girlfriend. the deadliest period on record this year. now helicopters and boats are scouring the waters for his remains and the great white shark that killed him in a lightni lightning-fast strike. >> matt holmes witnessed everything. >> came out of the water, like it was eating seal. it was just blood everywhere and the massive, massive shark. >> reporter: just a few days ago in the same waters, two fisherman encountered this great white, they prodded the shark for tenter fig minutes and made it to safety. it's not just australia. this week in cape cod, a dramatic picture of a shark on the heels of a person. so, are there more sharks in the water? surprisingly experts say just the opposite. shark populations have been decimated over the last three decades. the problem isn't more sharks it's more people. >> the reason we're getting more reports might be we simply have more people in the water so we have more observers to report these sightings. not that we have more sharks. >> reporter: back in australia where they average one shark related fatality a year, at least five are dead this year. they have closed this beach. they're hoping to catch the killer great white that's still out there. now, to put it in perspective, deadly shark attacks are extr e extremely rare. at the same time, more than 16 americans have died just tunnelling in the sand. bottom line, the expert said don't be afraid of going into the water but be observant. >> the shark population is actually going down, not up, john, thanks for your report. >> appreciate it. we have a consumer alert to bring you this morning, a giant counterfeit coupon ring has been busted. first of its kind multimillion-dollar scam. ron is back with details on this story, good morning, ron. >> a few years ago, this was virtually unknown and now it's a rampant occurrence across the country. sold online to save money shopping. but it's cost productmakers hundreds of millions of dollars. when police in arizona raided this house they hit the jackpot. >> we found high-value cars, like a camaro, cadillac. >> reporter: and they found more, the alleged source of all of these riches, these paper counterfeit shopping coupons, all fakes. >> this is the largest counterfeit coupon arrest that has occurred in the industry. >> reporter: police said that this alleged ring of current fitters was headed by this woman. >> this woman profited approximately $2.2 million. >> reporter: phoney discount coupons like this one are flooding the country. counterfeit coupons on this website savvyshopper.com. they're believed to have been mass produced outside of the usa. they have plenty of imitators. in 2008, nestle purina issued 250 coupons each good for a free bag of dog food. less than 2700 were redeemed. >> the manufacturers lose in this situation because they ultimately end up paying for these counterfeit coupons. >> reporter: you don't have to be a savvy shopper to know when it's a scam, real coupon are given away never sold other signs, fake coupons usually don't have bar codes on them. they don't have expiration dates on them, unlike the real ones, check to see if there's a contact number for the store or manufacturer. for anyone thinking, i'll use the faked ones, the person who uses them could be held criminally liable. >> all right, some good tips that you gave. time now for the weather and brian monahan from our orlando affiliate

use the technique to fly into the guinness book of world records. but there was a surprise ending. clayton sandell has the story. >> reporter: it was a terrifying end to a risk trip. ken couch and his co-pilot came crashing down to earth in po post-oregon last night and so did their dream of floating into the record books on two lawn chairs and 350 helium balloon. >> reporter: i'm relieved to be on the ground. >> reporter: this is what it looked like to them. a rapid descent. they began losing balloons late saturday and then thunderstorms threatened and winds failed to cooperate. they were pelted by hail. >> oh, incredibly chaotic. mixed up. thrashing. nothing like i have experienced in the past. >> reporter: they crash-landed after about six hours. only to watch their stubborn contraption take flight without them again. liftoff was yesterday in bend, oregon, they were headed for montana, packing parachutes, satellite phones, oxygen and even a bb gun like the one from the
