Good evening on this very busy friday night. We begin with an abc news investigation. The daughter who was kidnapped by isis, and her parents who now tell abc news that they made their own pleas to isis to release her. Kayla mueller was the Young American who was captured while trying to help the young victims of war. Her parents emailing isis from their home, their kitchen computer in arizona. Tonight, never before seen video of mueller as a prisoner of isis, she died in captivity. And this evening, you will hear from her parents. Who say the president made them a promise, a promise they say was not kept. Brian ross, leading us off. Reporter tonight, these home movies serve as a mother and fathers cherished memory of a young woman full of life. A daughter traveling the world to help the innocent victims of war. Reporter but that all ended with this video. Ive been here too long, and ive been very sick. Its very terrifying here. Reporter Kayla Mueller had been taken hostage by isis. And for the next 17 months, her parents, carl and marsha, would fight for her freedom. Sending their own video pleas to isis. Please show mercy and use your power to free our daughter. Reporter and exchanging some 27 emails from their kitchen in prescott, arizona, to her daughters captors in syria, who at one point set a 30day deadline for a 6 million cash demand. This kind of thing tears people apart. Reporter kayla had been kidnapped in syria from a Doctors Without Borders vehicle, but in a phone call to the muellers, the organization refused to help get kayla back because they said she was not working for them. Would your staff negotiate for kayla . No. U. S. Rescue mission, the muellers say a white house official threatened them and their friends with criminal prosecution if they tried to raise ransom money. Our government slammed that door. Reporter after kayla was killed in isis captivity, the president came to console them. The muellers say he made a promise to help the foundation they set up in kaylas name, and then broke it. There hasnt been such a donation . No. Im still waiting for that donation, mr. President. Reporter today, our team pressed the white house for an answer. Reporter can the mueller family expect that the president , that the obamas will make a donation to their daughters foundation, the foundation in the name of Kayla Mueller soon . As i mentioned, i cant speak to any previous conversations that theyve had, but i can tell you that reporter but is a donation coming . The foundation, kaylas hands, thats been established in her memory is certainly the kind of foundation that the president and first lady have would anticipate that they would make a financial contribution to continue supporting it. Reporter but none of that changes the muellers belief that the government failed their daughter. So we put all our faith in the government and they let us down. And they let us down. And brian ross is with us tonight. We know the u. S. Government does not pay ransoms. Thats what it says the policy is right now. The argument that it would encourage more one. But there has been a change . Yes, now families of hostages are allowed to raise money themselves without facing the threat of prosecution. A direct result of what happened to Kayla Mueller and the other american hostages that were killed by isis. Brian will have much more this evening at 10 00 p. M. On a special edition of 20 20. Well see you then. We move on to a major Security Breach at an american airport. A suspect jumping the fence to stolen pickup truck into a jet with terrified passengers aboard. Heres david kerley. Reporter the bizarre breach of security ending with a truck smashed into a jet liner, and a suspect restrained, still yelling. It started in front of omahas airport, a man yelling that someone was trying to kill him. As police tried to calm him, he flees. Shedding his clothes, and jumping the eightfoot fence. Apparently someone jumped on a truck on the runway. Reporter now just in his boxers, he gets into the unlocked and running airline truck. Driving toward the runway. But police block him, so he doubles back, speeding toward the southwest jet that was boarding passengers. Hitting the jets nose landing gear, dramatically shaking the plane. Two crew members with minor injuries. The same for the suspect. And that caused his behavior. David, Officials Say there was a lot of damage to the plane hit by the truck. And two crew members were hurt . A bangedup elbow and knee. Theyll be fine. But the Severe Damage to the jet, it has been taken out of service tonight. David, thank you.

The two nuns, seen here in a ministerial video, were both nurse practitioners. What needs to be done. Reporter for more than 30 years, theyve tirelessly served the poor. They sang in church, and other sisters say they were great cooks. This is one of the poorest counties in all of mississippi. We make a difference in peoples lives, and we never know what that difference is. Reporter police tonight are tearing through leads, many from families who the nuns helped. Weve had a lot of leads and they are really supporting us as we try to find the people who did this. We got each others back over here, so when this happened, you know, its devastating. Reporter the Catholic Diocese says their home was broken into. Police suspect a robbery and found their missing car a mile away. They were originally from wisconsin and massachusetts and say they were called by god to mississippi. Prayers are up tonight for both the nuns and investigators. David . Just an awful story. Steve, thank you. We turn now to the outrage and serious questions after a homeowner was shot by mistake. And the News Conference today in a mailman calling police during an armed robbery. He needed help for him and his wife. Authorities say when police arrived, the homeowner was shot by mistake. Heres linsey davis. Reporter tonight, questions about why a man who called 911 for help ended up instead being shot by police. This cant continue to happen. Reporter this is the call 48yearold Carl Williams made to police at 4 30 a. M. Tuesday to alert police about a is that him . Reporter williams describes the man with a gun outside his indianapolis home. But the officer who responds ends up shooting williams. The only thing i can remember is intense pain, falling on the ground. And telling the Police Officers i am the homeowner. Why did you shoot me . Reporter tonight, williams is still in a wheelchair, recovering from injuries and i expect the police to come help us. I didnt want to take justice in my own hands. Thats the wrong thing to do. Reporter williams was armed with a pistol. And Police Confirm the officer mistook him for the robber. That officer is now under investigation. David . Linsey, thanks. And were also tracking a tropical wave in the atlantic, with heavy rain and gusting wi as it passes near the florida coast. Lets get right back to ginger zee. Ginger . Well, this type of storm doesnt need a name to drop a lot of rain. Thats why i still want you to play close attention even though its extremely disorganized. It has a 60 shot in the next 3 to 5 days of becoming a named storm. Its fighting through friction, wind shear, and a lot of dry air. So, thats what youre going to see on this map. Tracking south of florida, into the gulf. It looks like sunday into monday, it could go into some more favorable conditions. Its something that looks less and less threatening. But were not going to stop watching it. Thanks, ginger. We turn to the race for president here on a friday night. Many now asking where does donald trump stand on immigration, an issue that has been central to his campaign. Trump tonight insisting a speech and firm policy are coming. Hillary clinton reaching out to independents and republicans, even naming republicans she has respect for when it comes to the issue of race in america. Heres jonathan karl. Hes on the campaign trail tonight. Reporter today donald trump declared himself proud for putting immigration front and center. Such a big problem for our country, he tweeted, i will solve. But aside from that wall, its less clear than ever how hed do it. This was trump in february. We have at least 11 Million People in this country that came they will go out. Reporter but earlier this week he declared he was, quote, softening on that. Maybe not everybody would be deported. There certainly could be a softening because were not looking to hurt people. Reporter then last night you used the word softening, even last night on hannity, you talked about i dont think its a softening, i think its but 11 Million People are no longer going to be deported. Ive had people say its a hardening, actually. But 11 million who have not committed a crime, theres going to be a path to legalization, is that right . You know its a process. You cant take 11 at one time and just reporter so, does trump want to deport undocumented immigrants, or not . Were going to see what happens once we strengthen up our border. Reporter meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is aggressively trying to tie him to outright racism. Making the point that other Republican Leaders chose a different path. I called out to bob dole for what he said in his acceptance speech, that all racists should take the exits, and he pointed to the doors. Mosque after 9 11 and john mccain, when confronted with the attacks on president obamas birth and his religion, basically said, wait a minute, hes an american citizen, hes a decent person. Reporter but clinton says trump is, quote, taking hate groups mainstream. Hillary clinton is going to try and accuse this campaign and all of you of being racists, which were not. And jon karl with us live. Hillary clinton giving credit to bob dole, john mccain, george w. Bush. She knows what shes trying to do here. Reporter oh, she sure does. Hillary clinton is trying to convince moderate republicans that donald trump is outside of the mainstream. Trump knows he has to broaden his appeal or he wont win. David . Jon, thank you.

Ive spent my life helping black people and you little son of a [ bleep ], socialist [ bleep ]. I want you to record this and make it public, because i am after you. Reporter tonight, the state rep insists he didnt call lepage racist. But did call of the governors earlier this week, lepage was talking about known drug dealers when he said this. 90 plus of the pictures in my book, and its a threering binder, are black and hispanic people. Reporter tonight, the governor is firing back at his critics. The enemy right now, the overwhelming majority of people coming in are people of color, reporter one of maines Top Democrats sa but lepage is doubling down.

Reporter federal prosecutors say decorated iraq war veteran Darryl Lee Wright should really have only one award, as a champion liar. If theres an Olympic Event for lying, he would get multiple gold medals. Reporter they say while he did go to iraq, he was never wounded. Instead, lying his way into a purple heart by concocting a story rocket blew up his vehicle, even submitting a photo of a damaged vehicle from a different incident. His claims for benefits back home falsely stating he could not tie or fasten his shoes, buttons, or belt. That he was so severely disabled by ptsd symptoms that he spent two to five days a week in bed, in a fetal position. Yet investigators caught him on camera mowing his lawn. In fact, prosecutors say, as the checks rolled in, he practiced a unencumbered by any disability. Coaching a High School Basketball team, even running as a candidate for public office.
