before. why you may not want to sign that winning ticket. get ready for new year's. ball drop in times square. the good riddance to bad memories. >> it was really rough dating >> and the dress rehearsal. confetti at the ready. hey, good morning. let's bring up that shredding video. this is a ne a giant shred-it truck where you can pulverize o literal and metaphorical. adrienne showed up with -- that's not your stuff. hat say r 2017? >> i had a bag with all of my baggage, get it, i mean i literally -- emotional, physical stuff that i needed to just say, to it -- ♪ let it go ♪ let it go >> and you did. >> there's a reason that song resonates with so many people. >> that has to be extremely cathartic. >> that's a pretty good segue because that movie -- that song comes from "frozen," right? >> yep, and it is a frozen tundra outside. you are a genius. we are going to start here with the frozen the brutal blast of cold air moving from the plains into the east coast teeing up what could be the coldest new year's eve in 50 years on top of those frigid temperatures there's snow as well. low visibility causing a roughly 40-vehicle pileup near muskegon, michigan. rob is covering it all for us from central park. it's cold outside, rob. >> it is. did i just hear, let it snow, let it snow. i thought i heard adrienne just say that. flakes are beginning to fall in central park. it's a balmy 20 degrees because compared to what we've seen in the past couple of days here with no wind here, it feels actually relatively warm but that's all going to change. more cold coming in and, yes, more snow as well. overnight heavy snow and ice blasting the midwest into northeast with windchills dropping well below zero. >> this is something i haven't seen in a long time. >> reporter: officials urging people to be outside as little as possible. these temperatures can cause frostbite. hypothermia already claiming lives in illinois and kentucky. >> sometimes we see a lot of people who lose fingers and toes from hypothermia. >> reporter: in minnehaha falls in minnesota frozen over in the subzero temperatures. the st. mary's river along the border of michigan also frozen. the u.s. coast guard having to cut through the ice to free the stranded ships. >> it's coming at times faster than we can keep up with it. >> winter weather alerts still in effect in several states. snow and ice creating dangerous driving conditions. in iowa as many as 20 cars ending up on the side of the road. in michigan 40 vehicles in this pileup. one person killed in a head-on collision in indiana and on the idaho/wyoming border a community came together to rescue a dozen elk from the freezing water. >> good work. whoo! crushed with snow this week. volunteer emergency response teams having to dig some residents out of the historic snow. >> the neighbor had called in and she told us over there and asked us, please, please, come help me. nobody will help me and we went over and took care of her. >> reporter: that is mind-boggling when you think someone has to be dug out of their home because it has snowed so much. everybody east of the rockies has seen the cold and look at this reinforcing shot. windchill wantings that encompass several states. dangerously cold air coming in as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours and a lot of folks will be partying outside getting where they need to be for new year'sve will be the call as you mentioned the coldest air potentially here in the big apple since 1962. dan >> it is cold outside, thank you, rob. the cold weather not expected to deter an estimated 1 million very committed revelers from descending upon times square. >> security though is going to be tighter than ever and the nypd gave abc news an inside look and abc's marcus moore has details. marcus, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan and paula, good morning. they already have barricades set up here at times square and will be blocking off 22 city blocks. that is the largest perimeter they've ever had for new year's eve and for the very first time police will be screening guests at hotels and also restaurants here in times square. and abc news was given unprecedented access of the security plan for this year's new year's eve celebration and the new york city police commissioner giving some of the details of that plan to our gio benitez, and it includes bomb-sniffing dogs as well as a network of 10,000 cameras, police officers in the subways, on the streets and in the air, that is significant because the attack in las vegas on october 1st, that was a game changer, the commissioner says. of course, they've always been aware and cognizant of a potential for someone to be at an elevated location and firing down on a crowd, but it's never happened before to that scale. they have a plan in place and that includes snipers and buildings here in times square as well as officers patrolling from the air. also, what's significant about the timing of this year's celebration is it happens in the midst of two -- after two attacks here in new york city. a jogging path as well as that subway bombing earlier this month. the commissioner says what keeps him up at night is the unknown, that lone wolf who may decide that new year's eve will be the day to try to launch an attack. that's why officials have urged the more than a million people who will come here to times square to celebrate to come and have a good time, dan and paula, but be vigilant and be an extra set of eyes and ears as they try to keep people safe this year. >> stakes are so high. thank you very much. we turn to a prank call believed to have led to the death of an innocent man in wichita, kansas. >> police say a so-called s.w.a.t.'ing prank led to an officer shooting thatelle ree story for us this morning. >> reporter: s.w.a.t.'ing is when someone falsely reports a shooting or hostage situation. in this case policeher a dispute between two online gamers led to that fakely call. this morning, a prank call under investigation after police say it led to an innocent man's death. >> they were arguing and i shot breathing. >> reporter: in a labored voice the prankster telling 911 dispatch he shot his father and was holding his family hostage. >> the suspect advised he poured gasoline all over the house and he was thinking about lighting it. >> reporter: officers rushed to the wichita, kansas, address given by the caller thursday night. when they arrived a 28-year-old identified by his family andrew finch appeared in the screen door. >> show your hands. walk this way. >> reporter: police body cameras rolling as officers instructed finch to raise his hands and walk toward them. they say at first he complied but then moved his hands to his waist. an officer opening fire. >> he feared that the male had just pulled a weapon from his waistband and fired one round striking the male. >> reporter: finch's family watching in horror. >> my granddaughter who witnessed the shooting and had to step over her dying uncle's body. that cop murdered my son. >> reporter: police confirm finch was unarmed and was not the one who made that fateful call. >> last evening's tragic and senseless act. >> reporter: police in los angeles confirmed overnight they've arrested a 25-year-old man in connection with the s.w.a.t.'ing call. authorities tell abc news the onlining gaming dispute is part of their investigation but still tracking other leads. the officer who shot -- fired those shots was placed on administrative leave pending this investigation. police say they know that s.w.a.t.'ing is a trend but in the case of a 911 call, they always default to believing the caller. >> horrifying story all around, erielle. thank you. we move to politics and president trump teeing off at one of his florida golf clubs and getting ready to ring in the new year at mar-a-lago. >> meanwhile, back at the house wi it appears the new year will ring in a staff reshuffling and abc's david wright is in west palm beach. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan and paula. the president is clearly enjoying the holiday break but also gearing up for the battles ahead in the new year, not only are there some big issues he's hoping to tackle but also the midterm elections in 2018 and he needs to be at the top of his political game. this weekend brought a rare glimpse of the president teeing off. trump has made more than 60 visits to golf courses he owns since he took the oath of office but the white house usually refuses to say if he actually picks up his clubs. on friday, no such sensitivity. >> the 17th hole and i think all of you were watching my shot, right? did you see it? >> reporter: as his first year in office winds to a close, trump is already gearing up for 2018 including a reshuffle of his political team at the west wing. >> we need a republican in the house. we need a republican in the senate. >> reporter: the white house is eager to avoid a midterm repeat of recent political debacles. in alabama the president's first candidate -- >> luther strange is our man.tr defeated in the primaries by the more radical judge roy moore helped by trump's own former political masterend up jumping moore bandwagon even after several women accused moore of inappropriate conduct, even sexual assault. >> get out and vote for roy moore. >> reporter: moore's ultimate defeat became a defeat for trump too. some white house sources say the recent gop losses in alabama and in virginia underscore the fact there's a hole left by steve bannon's departure. bottom line, this is likely to be a reshuffle of folks that you've probably never heard of but we're talking key behind the scenes players here, the josh limon level of white house levels if you remember the old show, "the west wing" but this is a white house that's seen plenty of upheaval. 16 resignations and 7 firings so far and more expected in the new year, dan and paula. >> yeah, more reshuffling to come. thanks, david. >> aaron sorkin thanks you david, appreciate it. we want to move on now and matthew dowd.ews political matthew, good morning to you. >> good morning, paula. >> so after the president's win on the tax bill he's expected to focus on infrastructure next which he says will fulfill another campaign promise rolling out a plan late next month. he is saying this will be, quote, matt, the easiest of all. in reality what kind of obstacles could he face? >> well, i think he would be smart politically and for the country's sake if he did that. 80% of the country wants something done on infrastructure. the problem he has is that he's entering the midterm zone of the elections as david talked about and it's going to be very difficult to get democrats on board because they have no incentive, 80%, 85% of their base wants them to fight donald trump on everything and republicans because they took a trillion dollars and increased the federal deficit to give tax cuts, there is no money left over for this so it would be great politically. he's got problems in both political parties. >> let me ask you about a tweet from the president within the past 24 hours. it reads in part the democrats have been told and fully understand that there can be no daca without the desperately needed wall at the southern border, so how is this fight over the so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers, what daca refers to, how is this likely to go down when congress reconvenes and what does it mean for the young people whose lives are in limbo over all this? >> i'm going to bring up an album, a famous album by pink floyd called "the wall" and there's two songs on "the wall" that i think would tell the sorry of what's about to happen. one song is, "is there anybody out there," and the other song is "the thin ice" and i think in both cases they describe what donald trump faces, one, is going to be able to get on this, again, he's got problems with republicans on daca and problems with democrats willing to compromise in the midterm and so as the song says, he's going out on thin ice in this politically, i think it's going to be how he describes what the wall is. if he describes the wall as a fence, he's probably much more likely to get it done. but if he keeps pushing the wall as the wall he talked about on the campaign, i think it's very difficult for him to traverse that way. so a little homage to pink floyd. >> yeah, you sent everybody under the age of 30 to google. matt, thank you very much. >> you got to give the millennials some credit. i think they know, maybe a couple of them. >> maybe i'm not giving them enough credit. my apologies to the millennials and my thanks to matthew dowd. a lot of other news and for that as we always we kick it over to ron claiborne. good morning, sir. >> good morning to rine, good m. >> good morning, everyone. we begin in los angeles where a female police officer was shot in what's being called an ambush-style attack near the downtown area. that officer hospitalized this morning with nonlife-threatening injuries. police say they have one suspect in custody and a gun was found at the scene. they're searching for other possible suspects. here in new york city new details emerging about that deadly apartment fire in the bronx that killed 12 people including children. thursday night officials now say that the fire which was started by a 3 1/2-year-old boy playing with the burners on the stove spread so quickly throughout the apartment building in part because the boy's mother left the apartment door open when she fled to safety along with her children. in boston investigators ared two trolleys to collide, one rear ending the other injuring 16 passengers friday afternoon. none of those considered serious. the remaining passengers left thks to board buses. and mystery writer suegra. grafton known for her mystery novels died at the age of 77. her series began in 1982 with "a is for alibi." she published "y is for yesterday" earlier this year. there will be no "z." no manuscript left behind to publish posthumously. the nfl is implementing stricter concussion rules including adding a medical specialist to monitor replays after houston texans quarterback tom savage was allowed back on the field even though he showed game last month, the league says from now on any player who shows signs of a defined impact seizure will be removed from the game immediately and not allowed to return. finally 23 timend first timm serena williams is making her tennis comeback this morning, later this morning after taking almost a year off to have her baby girl taking on french open champion jelena ostapenko. from latvia, had an exhibition in the united arab emirates. williams last played almost a year ago when she won the australian open before giving birth to her daughter last september. >> i can't tell you how extraordinary that is. >> i'm impressed. >> i don't think i was cleared to work out until ten weeks and even then i was like struggling to do one push-up. >> and that was the end of your tennis career. >> she's three months. i never had a

travel. >> reporter: the jackpots just keep climbing. no one won last night's mega millions jackpot. the potential winnings now sitting at $343 million. and as the powerball fever grows ahead of

having nothing left in the end. you just have to be honest with yourself what you're going to do. >> i want to know who aunt sally is. >> the people do it and we see the stories of people doing it so you have to be honest with yourself about what you think you will do. >> i love this advice, good advice that nobody will end up >> somebody is going to win. >> except for aunt sally. >> spend

case in houston thanks to a cigarette butt and some cutting-edge science. >> a murder suspect is now in custody after police tracked him down through a controversial technique, and abc's marci gonzalez joins us with more on this story from los angeles. hi, marci. >> reporter: good morning. this case was wide open for more than a year until police in texas say something called familial dna testing finally helped lead them to that suspect. investigators say it was a brutal murder. 50-year-old natalia shal found dead inside her baytown, texas, apartment on mother's day, 2016. she had been stabbed in the back 30 times. investigators had evidence from that gruesome crime scene, a sketch of a possible suspect and dna. but for more than a year no arrest. but then that dna was tested for something called a familial match. dna markers genetically similar to someone already in jail for another crime, and investigators say there was a hit on an inmate convicted of sexual assault and that inmate's brother would become investigators' prime suspect in shal's murder. >> our detectives were able to identify a person of interest in the case as 29-year-old byron collins of baytown. >> you are charged with a felony offense of capital murder. >> reporter: police discovered he lived in the same apartment complex as shal but that alone was not enough. investigators in houston needed a stronger link. so they started surveillance on collins and say they saw him throw out a cigarette. dna from that cigarette police say linked him directly to the crime scene. >> when we get these cases, we don't stop. we work them until we can't work them anymore. >> reporter: familial dna is controversial and criticized by some as invasive. >> the fact that there is in technology doesn't mean that we should give up on our privacy. >> reporter: but the technique first used in europe back in 2003 has been pivotal in several high-profile cases in the u.s. including the grim sleeper case in california. familial dna helped police arrest lonnie franklin sentenced to death in the murders of at least ten women over two decades. only a handful of states allow familial dna testing and while the method has proven successful in multiple cases civil liberties groups says it has also led to false leads. dan and paula. >> tricky issue. marci, thank you very much. we really appreciate it.
