"the washington post" now obtaining scans of passports from turkish officials, members of the alleged hit squad. the search for evidence now expanding. less than two hours after jamal khashoggi had gone into the consulate, this mysterious black drives down the road of this quiet suburban street in istanbul and arrives here at the residence of the saudi consul, now besieged by journalists, awaiting more search teams. this video released by the turks shows this mysterious black van traveling to the residence on the day the writer went missing. a source telling abc the saudis may be ready to admit responsibility for khashoggi's death, reportedly as part of an interrogation gone wrong. >> and so let's get right to ian pannell, on the scene in istanbul again tonight for us. and ian, you reported there on the second location they want to get to, the residence. are they in yet? >> reporter: yeah, david, we just heard, abc sources confirming that investigators were not allowed into the residence, blocked by the saudis. forensics essentially want to get inside there, because they want to know whether or not jamal khashoggi or his body were ever there. david? >> ian pannell leading us off again tonight. ian, thank you. and jamal khashoggi's disappearance isn't just a diplomatic crisis for the u.s., it puts presid today, the president denied having any financial interests in saudi arabia. but abc's jon karl with what the president has said before, and the potential money at stake here. >> reporter: president trump has warned of severe punishment for saudi arabia if it murdered jamal khashoggi, but today, he added this -- >> it depends whether or not the king or the crown prince knew about it, in my opinion. number one, what happened? but whether or not they knew about it. if they knew about it, that would be bad. >> reporter: later today, he tweeted, quote, just spoke with the crown prince of saudi arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their turkish consulate. in the days since khashoggi's disappearance, the president has tried to walk a fine line between vowing punishment and preserving the u.s./saudi relationship. a relationship he has worked hard to cultivate, making saudi sword dance with the king. today, the president also tweeted, quote, for the record, i have no financial interests in saudi arabia. but just three years ago, he said this -- >> saudi arabia, and i get along great with all of them, they buy apartments from me, they spend $40 million, $50 million. am i supposed to dislike them? i like them very much. >> reporter: over the years, the saudis have invested in several major trump projects. in 1991, they bought his yacht. four years later, a saudi prince was part of a group that bought trump's plaza hotel. in 2001, the kingdom of saudi arabia reportedly bought an entire floor of trump world tower in new york. and since he was elected, the saudis have spent lavishly at trump properties, including dropping nearly $270,000 last year at the president's washington hotel near the white house. >> so, let's get to jon karl with us live tonight from the white house. and jon, the president says the saudi crown prince, quote, totally denied knowing anything about what happened in the consulate. is the president going to take his word for it? >> reporter: well, he sure seems inclined to believe those denials. as he told the associated press in that interview he did just a short while ago, "here we go again, you know, you're guilty until proven innocent. i don't like that." and then, david, he actually went on to compare the situation with the saudis and the accusations against his supreme court pick, brett kavanaugh, saying, quote, we just went through that with justice kavanaugh and he was innocent all the way, as far as i am concerned. so, yes, the president seems very much inclined to believe the saudi denials in this case. >> jonathan karl at the white house tonight. jon, thank you. and to the other breaking headline this evening. authorities a short time ago before the cameras, taking questions in the nationwide search for a missing 13-year-old girl, fearing she could be in danger tonight after her parents were found dead in their wisconsin home. police say there was a 911 call from the home, they heard noise, but that no one was able to talk into the phone. abc's alex perez is in wisconsin. >> reporter: tonight, the search for missing 13-year-old jayme closs intensifying. wisconsin authorities now working with the fbi. >> our goal is to bring jayme home. that's our only goal. >> reporter: the mystery beginning about 1:00 a.m. monday. investigators discovered jayme's parents, james and denise, dead, here at their home in rural barron, wisconsin. >> i heard one shot and then the second shot was even louder yet. >> reporter: the girl nowhere to be found. officers led to the house after a puzzling 911 call. can you walk us through that 911 call and why it was unusual?

4 years old, like camdyn. david, this illness affects less than 1 in a million, but it's serious. so, the cdc is warning parents to look for any sudden signs of weakness in the arms or legs. david? >> eva pilgripilgrim. thank you, eva. and next, to the major storm system sparking a flash flood watch across much of texas tonight. the governor just moments ago declaring a state of emergency. the llano river rising 26 feet in just a matter of houses, washing out this bridge in kingsland. a body was found nearby. and you're about to see the images tonight, vehicles losing control on the highway, with much more rain now on the way. abc's clayton sandell from the flood zone. >> reporter: tonight in texas, too much water. flash flooding triggering rescues and evacuations. >> we are starting to pull people out of houses, and that's what our guys are doing right now. >> reporter: overnight, the overwhelming llano river taking out this bridge in the town of kingsland, northwest of austin. nearby, the colorado river hurling debris over the starcke dam. >> that looks like a deck that's just going over. wow. >> reporter: as waters rise, they've opened all ten floodgates. >> i've seen two or three floodgates open and it's pretty powerful at that. but all ten floodgates?
