good morning, america. disaster in the desert. the investigation ramping up right now after the crash of a spacecraft that could one day carry tourists including big named celebrities into space. >> space is hard, and today was a tough day. >> new information about what richard branson's virgin galactic did differently for this flight. did that change cause the crash? halloween mudslide. heavy rains releasing a wall of mud overnight. houses left waist deep in muck. one person rescued. people told to get out. the latest on the efforts to stop the flow from reaching more homes. finally free. a marine reservist who wound up in a mexican jail released overnight after seven months

behind bars. the mistake he says he made that left him on the wrong side of the border and what will happen to him now. and blame jared? police say this armed robber had a bizarre motive for hitting up a series of subway restaurants. the mistake he made that led to his arrest. hey, good morning, everybody. and let's take a look at virgin galactic's $500 million experimental spacecraft, the brainchild of the british billionaire richard branson. his dream is to take high-income passengers including celebrities like leo dicaprio and katy perry on a journey to the edge of space. >> but those a-listers may want to reconsider when they see this. the debris field after the spaceship exploded killing one

of the test pilots. even more devastating, this is the second disaster to hit the private space industry this week alone after that rocket exploded on takeoff in virginia just a few days ago, and abc's david kerley is in washington with more. david. >> reporter: good morning, paula. this morning ntsb investigators and richard branson are set to arrive in mojave, california, trying to figure out what happened in this second private space accident this week. these photos capture the very end, the release from the mothership and moments later debris from spaceshiptwo. the craft starting to break up during its fourth powered flight all of that falling to earth, a parachute, scattered debris, one pilot severely injured carried to a helicopter. >> there was a second chute deployed. >> reporter: the second pilot died. >> space is hard, and today was a tough day. >> reporter: this an earlier test flight. the mothership carries a spacecraft at 50,000 feet releases it and the craft fires its own rocket,

all part of the dream of richard branson to take a half dozen passengers at a time to the edge of space. he has deposits already on 700 tickets including some of hollywood's elite, pitt, jolie, perry, dicaprio. in a statement he said traveling to mojave is one of the most difficult trips i've ever had to make, but he wants to be with the teams, quote, now in shock at this devastating loss. observers say the rocket wasn't getting the craft high enough. this flight was the first to use a new fuel, which had only been tested on the ground. >> obviously it failed spectacularly. >> reporter: joelle glen brenner documented the predecessor of spaceshiptwo and knows many of those who work on the program. >> they were concerned about the pace of the program. >> reporter: this was the second serious setback this week for the commercial space industry. tuesday a private cargo rocket exploded seconds after liftoff. after the failure of spaceshiptwo, what will those hollywood stars and hundreds of others this morning think about riding that rocket? >> customers weren't necessarily

paying attention. i think this might have been a wake-up call to them. >> david, for decades the space race has been littered with mishaps and even deaths and yet we have persisted time and again. do you think the private space exploration business can survive these twin disasters? >> reporter: experts say that's the way we're headed dan. we will probably see more mishaps like this in the future because rocket science isn't easy, but this transition to commercial space travel is underway and probably will not be stopped. >> too much momentum, david kerley, thank you. we're going to move now to a breaking weather story overnight. a major storm on the west coast creating dangerous mudslides, one person had to be rescued and our meteorologist rob marciano is on the story. rob, good morning. >> good morning, dramatic stuff. that person who was rescue had had to be cut out his house because the mud was banked up against his front door. 11 others evacuated. in camarillo. in some cases it was waist deep. the first major storm of the rainy season for california and

socal and, remember, they have seen fires over the past couple of years and burn areas will let some of that mud go quickly and the rains will move inland today. it will be a stormy day for sure. snow at the higher elevations but a rain event and in some parts of l.a., a quarter to a half inch of rain on top of what we've already seen and in orange county a fire earlier this year and evacuated some neighborhoods there near the silver canyon fire. inland, we'll see 1 to 2 inches. of course, there's also another big storm across the east coast and cover that in a few minutes. paula, back to you. now to the release overnight of a u.s. marine who spent seven months behind bars in a mexican jail. he says it was all because he made a wrong turn on the highway and wound up south of the border. politicians here taking up his cause to try to set him free and this morning, he is on his way home and abc's reena ninan is here with the story. good morning. >> good morning. yeah, there were hearings on capitol hill about this, diplomatic efforts and even a former talk show host all eager to secure the release of this u.s. marine. overnight images of relief and joy. an american veteran back on

american soil at last, retired marine sergeant andrew tahmooressi, released from a mexican jail on friday after 214 days of captivity. a mexican judge freed tahmooressi citing his mental state. the retired marine has posttraumatic stress disorder. >> the mexicans made it very clear to us that they wanted their judicial process to conclude, and it did, and they made, i believe, the right choice. >> reporter: former talk show host montel williams also advocated for his release. >> this experience for him in the last seven months is in a lot of ways has retraumatized him and almost like let's call it prison tpsd. >> reporter: in san diego friday night returning to his hometown florida this morning. tahmooressi originally detained for crossing the border with loaded guns telling a 911 operator that he took a wrong turn on a california freeway and ended up at the border where he couldn't turn around. >> i crossed the border by accident, and i have three guns

in my truck, and they're trying to possess, -- they are trying to take my guns from. >> so you're in mexico? >> yes. >> there's nothing i can help you with then, sir, i do apologize. >> reporter: once across the border, tahmooressi was detained. the state department, even congress begging a judge presiding over the case for leniency to no avail but this morning, tahmooressi is finally back in florida. and the 26-year-old veteran will likely undergo treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder from his two tours in afghanistan, and despite his release, the mexican judge has yet to rule on the weapons charges. we'll actually hear from tahmooressi this afternoon. he's expected to hold a press conference. >> it will be interesting interesting to hear what he has to say. reena, thank you. new details on the accused cop killer eric frein. we're learning a lot more about the planning that went into his alleged attack on a state police barracks. as he was brought into court, an

extraordinary scene. locals taunting frein whose weeks on the run in the local wilderness created pervasive fear in the surrounding communities. abc's tom llamas was right there. >> reporter: this morning, abc news has learned new details about cop killer eric frein's alleged plans for attack, police say made more than a year in advance of the ambush on pennsylvania state police. according to court documents obtained by abc news, frein was making internet searches using the phrases "can police track cell phone" and "how to escape a manhunt." on friday, the 31-year-old faced a judge and the angry residents he allegedly terrorized while on the lam. >> you coward. >> reporter: for seven long weeks frein, an expert survivalist and military buff, allegedly held this community hostage while hiding out in the dense forest of the poconos. >> when you came out here and

you laid eyes on him, what did you think? >> awesome. i was really happy that they finally caught this guy. >> reporter: police say frein started his reign of terror by ambushing two pennsylvania state troopers on september 12th. he's accused of killing corporal bryon dickson and then wounding trooper alex douglas before disappearing into the woods. >> i said, what's your name and he said frein. >> reporter: these are the u.s. marshals that captured frein and showed us how they found him outside a hanger on the abandoned property of this poconos resort. >> handcuffed him. put him in custody. >> reporter: authorities say it's still unclear why frein would have targeted those troopers. this morning he's charged with murder, and prosecutors will seek the death penalty. and the man who lived out in these vast woods for 48 days hiding from police now lives in a 5x8 cell at the pike county correctional facility. dan and paula. >> tom, thank you. residents very, very relieved he's in custody this morning. now to ebola and a victory for that nurse who defied a state-imposed quarantine. a judge in maine has ruled that despite coming into direct contact with ebola patients,

kaci hickox is now a free woman ending a tense standoff and abc's linzie janis has the very latest from hickox's hometown, fort kent, maine. good morning, linzie. >> reporter: good morning, paula. the police car that was standing guard is gone and for the first time in a week, kaci hickox can wake up and do pretty much whatever she wants. but there are a lot of people here who are hoping she doesn't. this morning, nurse kaci hickox is a free woman. a judge rejecting a temporary court order enforcing a quarantine for the volunteer who has twice tested negative for ebola since returning from west africa seven days ago. >> i am humbled today by the judge's decision. >> reporter: hickox now free to go to public places and on as many bike rides as she likes. >> enjoy. >> reporter: all she has to do is coordinate with the state if she wants to travel, continue allowing daily visits like this one from health officials and let them know immediately if she develops any symptoms.

>> the three points that he is still recommending that i abide by are three points that i leave as part of this good compromise that we can make. >> reporter: the governor disappointed. >> she's violated every promise she's made so far, so i can't trust her. i don't trust her, and i don't trust that we know enough about this disease to be so callous. >> reporter: and people in this small town still afraid. >> it makes me nervous. >> reporter: how would you feel if kaci hickox came into the restaurant where you were eating and sat down or was shopping in the same store? >> i would probably strongly consider leaving to be completely honest. >> reporter: in his ruling the judge asking hickox to acknowledge what he called human nature. >> i'm a nurse and a public health worker. i don't want to make people uncomfortable. >> reporter: the governor says he dogs not plan to appeal the judge's decision. as far as what kaci hickox does next, she says she understands ebola is a very scary disease and the last thing she wants to

do is create more fear here in fort kent, maine. >> a lot will be watching her all over the state and country. linzie janis, thank you. moving on now, t-minus three days to the midterm elections and the stakes are very high. the big question, of course, can republicans take control of the u.s. senate with candidates scrambling in these final hours, we are truly at the peak of the political silly season. this candidate going viral and gaining a lot of traction it must be said with an ad in which she discusses castrating hogs. abc jeff zeleny is at the white house with much more and when i say much more i'm referring to the elections and not the hog castration. >> reporter: good morning, dan. after all those ads in a $4 billion campaign, the only number to remember is six, that's the number of seats republicans need to win control of the senate. and the winds are blowing strongly in their favor. >> i approve this message. >> reporter: dan sullivan running for senate in alaska even made an ad about all those ads.

>> pretty soon you're going to want to do this to your tv. >> reporter: president obama is the soundtrack of the republican campaign. >> a vote for greg orman is a vote for the obama agenda. >> reporter: the president's approval rating at its lowest point yet has kept him off the campaign trail. so look who's filling in. >> you got to go vote. you can't stay home. you can't let anybody stay home. >> reporter: bill clinton on friday in north carolina trying to shake democrats into action. republicans are just six seats away from taking back the senate. >> i'll know how to cut pork. >> reporter: strong class of recruits is propelling the gop like joni ernst. in iowa. her candidacy caught fire after airing this now infamous tv spot. >> because washington is full of big spenders. let's make them squeal. >> reporter: we caught up with ernst, who would be the first woman to represent iowa in the u.s. senate. how much pressure do you feel now with iowa being one of the most competitive open seats? >> it is such a phenomenally positive pressure. i have gone from being a very

little-known, small state senator from southwest iowa to now being someone that can really make a difference. >> reporter: democrats acknowledge they're bracing for a bruising election night. now, the white house is watching this campaign very carefully. the president is flying to michigan to campaign for democrats later today, but in those key senate races across the south, in many red states, it's hillary clinton who is trying to ride to her party's rescue. she'll be in louisiana and kentucky later today. dan. >> a lot of those candidates have not wanted obama to come campaign for them. jeff zeleny, thank you. we should say abc news will be covering the elections in a big way. our whole team led by george stephanopoulos will be out in force. we'll be online all night and we'll have primetime special at 10:00 p.m. on tuesday night. >> time for some other news and for that we turn to ron claiborne. >> hey, good morning to you paula, dan. good morning, sara. good morning, everyone. we begin in washington state where another teenage who was
