those acceleration problems with toyota emerged. well, after three years behind bars, he is finally out of prison this morning. says the first thing he wants to do is show his young children what the word daddy means. his emotional story is ahead. >> so good to see justice finally served in that case. first, the connecticut shooter in his own words. after killing eight of his co-workers, omar thornton called 911 to explain why he did it. he told the dispatcher he worked at a racist company. calmly explaining what happened. and how he wish he could have, quote, gotten more people. clarissa ward is in manchester, connecticut, with the chilling tapes. hi, clarissa. >> reporter: good morning, george. the chilling final words of a killer. omar thornton sounds eerily calm after killing eight of his colleagues in cold blood. >> state police. >> yeah. this 911? >> yeah. can i help you? >> this is omar thornton, the shooter over in manchester. >> reporter: before taking his own life, thornton called 911 to

chilling. thank you. want to turn, now, to the deadly school bus crash. a crash witnesses say happened in a blink of an eye. turning what was supposed to be a fun-filled field trip into a tragic accident. barbara pinto is in st. james, missouri, with the details for us. good morning, barbara. >> reporter: good morning, robin. school will open early here today. not for classes. buildings will be open so members of this small community can gather here and grieve. this morning, we're learning more about what happened in the seconds leading up to that tragic bus accident and about the two teenage victims. 16-year-old jessica brinker was riding on the school bus that crash-landed on top of two trucks. jessica was sitting in back at the point of impact. of the more than 50 band members traveling on two buses to an amusement park, she was the only one killed. her family released this statement last night, saying, jessica had asked that all friends, in the event of her

death, wear bright colors to celebrate her short life here on this planet. and to rejoice in her new life with christ. >> just total shock. because it's like losing a member of your family. >> reporter: the other victim, 19-year-old daniel schotts, a former quarterback at the university of missouri. son of a state politician. he was in the pickup truck, underneath this bus. >> just a great kid. it's going to be -- it's going to be hard. >> reporter: police say it happened when the bus driver passed another car. >> she was looking into her mirrors, to the left or right. she took her eyes off the road. >> reporter: directly in her path, the pickup truck had slammed into a tractor-trailer. the bus crashed into his pickup. the bus behind it slammed into the first. >> i looked out the window. we heard a big bang. and i saw a tire fly by. >> reporter: passengers described the bus filling with diesel fumes had fear that the bus was about to explode. and the help of good samaritans who rescued girls pinned underneath seats.

but just glad to be okay. >> i'm sure that you are, hon. can you tell us what happened, right before and right after the accident? >> well, right before the accident, no one really thought anything of it. we were just sitting around, talking. we were all really excited about going to six flags. >> and then, when the accident occurred, you said it was like being on a roller coaster. of course, not the fun type of roller coaster. what happened when the accident occurred? >> it was, all of a sudden, you just jolted forward. and people were screaming. it was just really scary. >> and i understand there was a classmate, megan, who was getting everybody as calm as could be? >> yeah. she was amazing. she got everybody calm. and she got us all organized. and she had us all organized so that we could get off the bus. and we wouldn't have been able to get off without her. >> oh, my. >> and she was checking on everybody and making sure everybody was okay. >> and you had some good

samaritans also. one man hopped on the bus. and there were others outside the bus, because you were so high up. you couldn't see the ground, right? >> right. we were so grateful that good samaritans came and helped us out. we wouldn't have been able to get out. especially the man who came into the bus. without him, we wouldn't have been able to get some of the more wounded girls out. and that was amazing that he actually came and helped out. and i want to say thank you to everyone who helped us. >> i'm sure they appreciate your gratitude. could you smell the fumes? was that also causing a little panic? >> all you could smell throughout the bus was diesel. and that caused a bit of panic. luckily, megan was keeping us calm and keeping us focused on trying to get out. >> i know that you know the young woman who had just turned 16, too. jess brinker. can you talk about your friend? let us know what type of person she was? >> she was an amazing person.

and a great friend to anyone who met her. she was extremely brilliant. and she was just one of those people that just lit up the room. >> oh. well, audrey, our hearts go out to you and everybody. and we just really appreciate you being with us this morning. and please give everybody our best. you take care, all right? >> all right. thank you very much. >> thank you, audrey. >> george? >> okay, robin. thanks. now, to washington, where a top economic adviser of president obama announced her resignation last night. christina romer will step down as chair of the economic council of economic advisers in september. this comes as we get the monthly jobs report this morning. jon karl is in washington. washington advisers insist this is a pure coincidence, that this resignation has been in the works for some time. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. and they say this is for absolutely personal reasons. she's going back to california to her old job, as professor of economics at the university of

california at berkeley. and she is going back in time for her teenage son to begin high school. bit this is somebody who was one of the top spokesman for the president's economic policies, especially the stimulus. she met with him virtually every day for the last year and a half. and if you consider the departure last week of peter orszag, it's the second member of his team to be gone in a week. >> there's some talk, jon, that she could be in line to replace janet yellen, the federal reserve board member from san francisco. >> reporter: yeah, that's exactly right. that would be the presidency of the federal reserve bank in san francisco. i'm told she's a top candidate for that job. it's not open yet though. because yellen first has to be confirmed for her job here in washington at the fed. that's expected to happen in september. >> meanwhile, a big day for elena kagan. we have something of a new normal here. her confirmation was never really in danger. yet, at the end, it was a

relatively close vote. >> reporter: it was. first, a big victory for the white house. this is the second supreme court nominee they've had confirmed in a year's time. but it was a very partisan vote. only five republicans voted for her. in fact, george, only two justices in all of american history were confirmed by closer votes. >> and even scott brown, the massachusetts senator, who introduced her to the senate, voted agains >> reportd o cf >> the senate's going home. house went home last wee but they finish >> reporter: yeah, i mean, they did quite a bit. you had them passing the $26 million aid to states. $600 million bill for border security. they confirmed the new director of national intelligence. they did more in the past week than the previous two months. >> okay. they're going home to face the voters. jon karl, thanks very much. now, juju chang has the rest of the morning's news. good morning, george, robin, happy friday to you.

now that he's out of prison. you see him with the children there. he wants to teach them who their daddy is all over again. >> and for the victims' family to realize, it was not his fault, too. that has to give him some peace. >> reporter: and they helped him with the fight all along. even when he came out and spoke here from in prison. >> he showed them what a daddy is, by standing up for what is right, not backing down at all. >> david, thanks. coming up, the unbelievable rescue story of a 5-year-old boy missing overnight in a state park. a frantic 18-hour search turned up nothing. and these father and son heroes save the day. how did they do it? we'll talk to them in a "gma" exclusive. that is coming right up.

for "good morning america," mike von fremd, abc news. and joining us now from eugene, oregon, are pete barrell and his son, mason, who found 5-year-old isaak glenn. well done, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> take us back to that moment. you're 90 miles away. what made you just jump in the car? >> i made the article aboin the local newspaper, about the missing boy. and i have mason here. and being a father, inspired me to do something to help. and my son and i are familiar with the coast range here. hiking and camping and being out in those landscapes. we thought, let's go over there and see if we can help. >> as we heard, you had the experience in the past of losing mason briefly. >> well, right. for a few hours, a number of years ago, when mason was 4 or 5, we lost him in the high cascades here. in a small way, i would sympathize. i could understand the feelings of the parents who were involved here. knowing there were parents out

there in need of help, we decided just to get out there and do what we should. >> mason, did your dad have to convince you? or were you pretty eager to go? >> i was pretty eager to go. he called me in the morning and asked me if i wanted to come with. and i said yes. >> so, you guys get to the campsite. get to the park. tell us what happens next. >> well, we got to the park and checked in with -- actually, state trooper scott salisbury, an old friend of mine. i saw him there. checked in to see if there was anything we could do to help. he suggested we head north down the highway and check out side creeks or roads. and just see what we could find, areas that the rescuers hadn't searched yet. so, we went north. we went up this one creek, big creek. about a half mile. and we were working the creek bed, walking in the creek. and this is very thick, old growth forest areas. eventually, at one point, we're calling isaak's name. and we got a response. it was like a miracle.

we couldn't believe it, really. >> what did you hear? >> so, we called -- well, we called. and i think he shouted, i'm here or something. and so, we shouted again. sure enough, he responded again. and he was way up a very steep hillside. thick forest hillside. we had to go through a creek, through some mud wetlands and up this hillside to get to him. mason reached him first. and we -- you know, we talked to him. tried to just calm him down. be friendly. the little guy had spent the night in the woods. so, he was pretty terrified. but he wasn't crying. he was wide-eyed. but we were strangers. we just calmed him down. and i put him on my back and carried him off the mountain and brought him back. >> mason, what did he say when you saw your face? >> he initially asked us who we were and how we knew him. we told him we were friends of his parents. and we were here to help him. and that, you know, we basically wanted to keep him talking and

keep him relaxed. just make him feel comfortable with us. >> what did he say happened? >> well, he said he wandered off. and that he went through the woods. and he spent the night in the forest. and we asked if he slept. he said he did sleep. but when it became light, he woke up. and he was in incredibly thick forest. it's amazing he got to where he did. >> how do you think he did? you guys were down in the creek bed. and you said he was way up on the ridge. how could he have gotten up there? >> he had gone up and over quite a mountain and through a couple creeks to get to where he was. he had traversed some amazingly steep, amazingly thick old growth, coastal landscapes. >> well, thank you for sharing that story. thank you for thinking so quickly to get on the highway, get to that park and save that boy. you guys are real heroes this weekend. eat's a pleasure to talk to you. >> well, thank you, george. >> thank you. have a good weekend. it's time, now, for the weather.

and now, the latest in a case that has a lot of people asking, why did she do it? caroline giuliani, arrested for shoplifting makeup at a store here in manhattan. obviously, the daughter of former mayor, rudy giuliani, has the money to buy what she wants. so, what was she thinking? here's dan harris. >> reporter: this morning, we're learning more about caroline giuliani's mystifying behavior in that manhattan beauty supply store. police say they were called to sephora wednesday, and showed videotape of caroline shoving $100 worth of products in her pocket, even though she had $320 in their possession. once the store managers find out who they called the cops on, they refused to press charges. which means this case may go away. >> when your kids get in trouble, you do what's natural.

you try to protect them. and i think this is a private mat they're the giulianis have to work through. >> reporter: it is yet another family matter, for a family whose dirty laundry has been aired publicly so many times. caroline watched her parents' nasty divorce play out in tabloids. her mother, donna hanover, reportedly found out her husband was filing for divorce, when he announced it in a press conference. >> donna and i lead, in many ways, independent and separate lives. >> there was huge conflict between donna hanover and rudy giuliani at the time. so, i'm guessing, fights were echoing throughout gracie mansion. >> reporter: there had been some incidents with caroline, including the revelation, in the middle of her dad's presidential campaign, that she was a member of barack obama's facebook group. and reports that she had shunned her famous last night, going by caroline rose g. on facebook. but the new incident is an order

of magnitude more embarrassing and puzzling. why such an accomplished, young woman with plenty of cash, would break the type of law her father made his name by cracking down on. for "good morning america," dan harris, abc news, new york. for more on this, we're going to talk to terry real, who is a family therapist. and joins us from boston. terry, this is not an unusual case. we have seen this before. >> right. winona ryder and other folks. this is a -- it's an interesting situation. we know that 50% of the people who shoplift are educated professionals who have the money. it's not a question of needing what they're doing. it's a question of other factors. >> and what are those other factors, terry? >> well, there are a number of them, robin. there's the thrill of getting the thing. you know, shopping is, in itself, a big lift. when americans were asked what gives you a lift? shopping and dining out for the

two top on the list. and then, there's also the sense of getting something for nothing. it's like a good sale on steroids. and then, there's the thrill of breaking the rules. so, you put all those together and it's a pretty heady combination. >> you're right about that. when people heard about this, a lot of folks said, is this a cry for help from caroline? what do you think? >> i think you have to ask that, particularly when it's a young person, a teenager or young adult. whenever anybody does something very publicly is dysfunctional, leaving pot on dad's night stand or getting arrested for shoplifting, you have to ask yourself, is there a message here that i'm unhappy? or that the family's unhappy? is there a sense that things are rotten in denmark. this could very well be a cry for help. >> it could also be a message that she's holding some hostilities still toward her father? >> you know, i never met caroline. so, i certainly don't know. but you got to ask yourself, is

it a coincidence that a child, so publicly breaks the law. and the father, his whole career, is based on being a law and order prosecutor. that's quite a coincidence. there may be a message to dad here. there may be a sense of i'm sticking to my own territory. caroline made a lot of headlines by backing obama when her father was running for president. so, as a therapist, i might ask some questions about is there a message here? >> and as a therapist, what would you recommend for them? >> well, you know, every crisis is an opportunity. if this were my child, i would definitely get a family therapist involved. i would do one or two evaluations. this would be an opportunity for daughter and father to put their cards on the table and force some reconciliation. >> also, terry, the store has decided not to press charges. could this possibly make it easier for caroline and her family to excuse her behavior, which could be dangerous? >> i think that it's good

fortune for caroline and her family. i think the important thing to let viewers know is it's very unusual, that across america, stores usually have a blanket policy that, if you're caught, you will be prosecuted. and i think, particularly young adults and young americans, need to understand that, if you do something that may seem like a lark at the time, you could really get yourself into a world of trouble. this is a very serious manner. >> it absolutely is. terry real, thank you so much. have a good weekend. >> thank you. and still ahead, it's the summer of celebrity weight loss. how are they doing it? we'll tell you their secrets.

never left my mind. and i think that's what all the military families who have loved ones deployed are going through each and every day. and i think, when i visit them, when i talk to other moms, i think they know that i understand what they're going through. >> uh-huh. >> and i think it's a real connection. >> so, it was really natural for you to be a part of this. >> yes. >> this would be the part of the interview, where i say roll tape. >> okay. >> jill biden in "army wives." >> one of the things i value most about my role as second lady, is the opportunity to visit with military families. i'm here to listen to whatever is on your mind. i want this to be an open conversation. and i hope you'll feel comfortable sharing your stories, the good ones and the challenging ones. >> well, this isn't like me, dr. biden. but for once in my life, i am speechless. >> i think we all are. >> i'll get the ball rolling. we all know how much stress our soldiers endure.

>> what are your discussions about? >> there's only 1% of americans who are serving. but we really do need 100% of americans to support them. and that's what we're asking americans to -- you know, to just commit to a small act of kindness. >> i'm very proud to say, my father was a part of three wars. and i remember when he was away in vietnam, we had to move off-base to a home. and the neighbor would help cut the yard. >> yeah. >> and that was just huge. >> that's a perfect example. and that's what we're asking americans to do, to take over a plate of cookies. or take over a movie and some popcorn on friday night. or mow the lawn. or send a child a birthday card. just a small thank you. just a small act of kindness. really makes a difference, just like it did to your family. >> and you spent your july 4th, with your husband in iraq. >> yes. >> what was that like? >> those soldiers are so

gang, a little applause. let them know we're here. one of the hottest shows this summer is "the glades." matt is the star of that. thanks for coming by. >> no problem. >> wait a minute. not a problem? say something else. say hello. or good morning. >> good day, mate. >> on the show, you play a kind of like chicago-like detective, who is displaced into broward county. but you're actually from australia. >> that's right. >> can you go back and forth in those accents? >> every now and then. something comes out if i want to be annoying. >> can you do it on one leg? can you -- all right. sum up the show a little bit. it is the number one drama on a&e ever, i guess. in this, you shoot in florida. >> yeah. we're down around the ft. lauderdale, area. we're cooking with the gators and mosquitos. and putting the families through college with our blood. it's all good. >> okay. so, in that show, this is not

your first career. like, you're not an actor the first time out. you've done a lot of things before you got to acting. >> yeah. i got into acting later on in life. i went to the army. and did a whole bunch of stuff. and got the bug from stage. that became my first love, theater. my whole career's been in australia. now, made the move over the pacific. >> we're glad you're here. welcome to television here in america. on the big hit show on a&e. "the glades." let's get to the boards. it's almost florida-like humidity in new york. we're going to take care of that in a couple of hours. the better-looking, better-feeling air moves in for the weekend. it's all the way to d.c. it's sweltering there. but the humidity gets pushed out by an area of high pressure. that will take care of itself. from the northern borders, dakotas to minnesota. the possibility of strong storms all weekend long.

all that weather is brought to you by dairy queen. matt, thanks for the stop by. i know it's going to be a hit. it's doing well already. >> thanks. >> george? robin? turn to your right, sam. >> and there's food. >> there's food involved. in america's recipes, we have rocco dispirito joining us this morning. he has a great book. it's called "now eat this!" rocco's going to take old-fashioned recipes with a new touch to it. everything under 350 calories? can't be. >> everything in the book is under 350 calories. i base it on a five-meal, six-meal a day diet. you want to keep it under 2,000

calories. they aren't that small. this is a good-sized meal. i'm not using calorically-dense foods. turkey meat, a simple sauce. and we're ready to go. they've been sneaking bites off the grill all morning. why don't you mix this? this is ground turi meat. it's very, very lean. 98% lean. put salt and pepper. and a lot of rosemary. a lot of people like turkey burgers. the problem is, they're usually dry. the way they process them in the plants, they chop them. by the time they come, they're like hockey pucks. if you make it yourself, it's a lot more juicy. >> and the rosemary in it. >> rosemary brings out a lot of nice poultry flavor. in a normal turkey burger you buy frozen, you won't get that. robin, i know you know how to handle the grill. >> absolutely. >> beautiful seasonal vegetables. onions.

heirloom tomatoes. season everything. very important. and we're going to grill all this stuff. this is my idea of a salisbury steak. i used to be a huge fan of salisbury steak when i was a kid. and somebody told me, it's hamburger. i'm good with that. nothing wrong with that. but there's always the chop steak. salisbury steak. all that. it's all hamburger. and -- >> right on the grill like that. >> right on the grill. >> how long do you keep them there? >> the turkey burger will take four to six minutes on each side. if you want to be extremely cautious and safe, you need to know, check it with a thermometer. 160 degrees when it's done. and you can take it out. >> okay. >> all right. >> we have that all set. >> yes. now, we're going to make the sauce. the sauce is -- you can just leave it all there. >> and, sam, george, if you can keep an eye on the grill, please. >> okay. >> they're serving. >> we're trying it right here. we'll come back. >> just to make sure it's really juicy, and we're not going to overcook it. so, it won't be dry. to make sure it's really juicy. and i want to have a salisbury

steak effect, i'm making a sauce. how do you make a low-fat sauce? i'm starting with evaporated skim milk. i put some cornstarch in there, to thicken it up. that's a way to replace the fat. >> that's it? that's all. >> that. and then, some shredded provolone cheese. just whisk that in. and let that melt. >> okay. >> that's it. it's really that simple. >> that's very simple. >> and then, this gorgeous cheese. look how juicy, creamy, yummy. do you understand? do you see this? look. nice. thank you. that's beautiful. isn't it? >> did you get something? >> let me give you the critical information here. normally, a turkey steak of this kind would be 440 calories and about 32 grams of fat. how much do you think this one is? 6 grams of fat, 290 calories. >> no way. >> how about the salad? >> everyone thinks eat a salad.

eat a mixed green salad. it's healthy for you. the dressings are full of fat. so, i came up with a dressing that's made of mustard, fennel, garlic, pure. you know what a salad portion is, 350 calories. in and of itself. just the dressing. and 27 grams of fat. now, 119 and 3 grams. >> and room for dessert, too. >> don't have anymore time. but it's great. blueberry peach cobbler. >> i know. you can get all of the recipes on our website at abcnews.com. rocco, thank you. love the shades. all right. we've got john legend and the roots coming up. come on back.
