the couple who had no idea they captured themselves on their web cam, flirting and making fun of themselves while they try to cap a picture. meet burt and esther, candid internet superstars. bruce and esther. boy, are they one fun couple. they are fantastic. love that monkey face. >> they didn't know it was being taped. they did allow it to go on youtube. we're going to need a good laugh later this morning. wait until you meet them. they are delightful. let's get right to what may be a break in the case of what really happened to young mom, susan powell. she disappeared in late 2009, leaving behind two small boys and her husband. abc's abbie boudreau is in salt lake city with the latest. good morning, abbie. >> reporter: good morning, robin. for nearly two years, the search for susan powell has puzzled investigators, leaving them with few answers. finally, a possible break in the case. yesterday afternoon, a police search in the desert found human bones. >> our cadaver dogs were out searching, were out looking. and did come across human remains. >> reporter: the discovery made here, in the rugged area near topaz mountain, a popular campsite, 30 miles away from the one josh powell says he took his children to that snowy, winter night, when his wife mysteriously disappeared. >> it does bother me that it's in the same general area. and the more i learn about the location, the more it bothers me. >> reporter: josh powell hasn't been charged in his wife's disappearance. but police say he remains the only person of interest in the investigation. >> we have a lot of things that need to be resolved. and unfortunately, we're just not -- he's not complying. >> i believe the police are doing as good a job with the investigation. and they're going to get to the truth, with or without his help. >> reporter: in the past month, police have stepped up their efforts, searching abandoned mines in the nevada desert. and serving a search warrant at josh powell's washington state home. police say they cannot be sure whether the human bones they discovered belonged to susan. and haven't yet determined how old they are. josh powell responded to the news with this statement, with very little information available to the public, we can only hope that additional information is released quickly, to minimize heartache to those of us who love susan. in the meantime, we continue to hope for susan's safe return. as for susan's father, he will keep waiting and hoping. >> this has not been identified as her remains yet. she could still be out there, maybe alive. >> reporter: now, the area where the bones were found is a popular place for people to hunt for rocks and gem stones. but josh powell tells us, he has never been there. robin? >> all right, abbie. thank you very much. we're going to turn, now, to josh elliott, for the other top stories. good morning, josh. >> good morning to all of you. we're going to begin with a massive recall that you could have on your breakfast table right now. cantaloupe. people from arizona to new york are being warned of a possible link between the melons and a deadly outbreak of listeria. the bacterial infection. the cantaloupes in question were shipped to 17 different states from a company called jensen farms in colorado. two people have died thus far. nearly two dozen have been infected. and the busiest u.s. border crossing has finally reopened this morning after this frightening scaffolding collapse. beams and concrete debris rained down on several cars. injuring 11 people at the crassing between san diego and te w tijuana. backups were huge. an astounding story from the world of finance this morning. it appears that one man, a rogue trader, is responsible for a $2 billion loss at ubs investment bank. a man was arrested in london today, in connection with the unauthorized trades. the loss, so massive, it could actually push the bank into the red this quarter. today, a 23-year-old from kentucky will become the first living marine awarded the medal of honor for actions in iraq or afghanistan. dakota meyer shared a beer with president obama at the white house wednesday. back in 2009 in afghanistan, meyer ran through gunfire 5 times to save 36 of his comrades trapped by enemy fire and killed 8 insurgents along the way. finally, what was that mysterious sight in the skies over the southwest last night. thousands of people spotted a bright streak from phoenix to l.a. experts say it was either a meteor or a piece of an asteroid that likely burned out before hitting the ground. >> or was it? >> seriously. >> it was red, though. >> it was. >> josh, thanks. now, to politics. and gop front-runner, rick perry, the texas governor, here in new york last night to court donald trump. and did he close the deal? abc's john berman has the story. >> reporter: rick perry and donald trump walked out of his tower with nary a word. it's a meeting that speaks volumes in itself. just a few months ago, trump sat atop republican polls. now, it's all perry. earlier, the texas governor discussed what he wanted out of the gettogether. >> we're going to be talking about, you know, how to create jobs in america. donald trump's pretty good about creating jobs. and i got to think donald's got some advice for me. >> reporter: the two dined at the pricey four-star jean georges. >> he knows his restaurant. >> reporter: a far cry from the slices of pizza he shared with sarah palin a few months ago. perry spent much of the day in virginia, a key swing state. and provided key information about his mediocre grades. >> i'm very proud to stand before you today and tell you i graduated in the top ten in my graduating class. of 13. >> reporter: the day also had perry with some important friends. a fund-raiser with virginia governor, bob mcdonald, who has yet to endorse. but the endorsement race is clearly on. for "good morning america," john berman, abc news, new york. for more, we're joined live, now, by the chairman of the national committee. thanks for coming in this morning. >> good morning, george. >> a great good morning. let's start out with trump and perry. trump came away very impressed with rick perry, he said. but he still wanted to wait and see what sarah palin would do. is she becoming a distraction in this race? >> i don't think so. i think this is what's happening. we're going to have a rigorous primary on our side of the aisle. that's what people are looking for. we're done with staged speeches. i'm not sure. your guess is as good as mine. i'm happy with where we're heading right now in the field and the republican primary. i think that the american people are ready for a change in direction. our country's in the ditch. i think this president has put us there. and i think it's time that we get real and put authentic people back in the white house that want to make a difference. >> rick perry took a lot of shots on that cnn debate, including on the issue of mandating the hpv vaccination on schoolgirls. was that a fair shot? >> there's going to be a lot of shots in the primaries. you know, i've been through that in wisconsin. i think people, obviously -- barack obama and hillary clinton went through that all the way through june. and look what it got them. it was actually very good for them. having a primary, having a debate on our side on how to get america back on track. and really effect change for the good in this country is something that the american people are starving for. >> is that crony capitalism? >> i'm not going to debate that. i'm not going to referee that issue. i'm the chairman of the republican national committee. i can't take sides. but what i can do is make sure we make barack obama a one-term president and save our country economically. >> the number one issue is jobs, as you suggest. the president came out with his jobs plan. pretty clear from the republican leaders in congress, that it's dead on arrival. speaker boehner will have his plan today. we know the white house is prepared to have president obama play harry truman in 1948, run against a do-nothing congress. congress' approval ratings are lower than the president's. are you worried about that? >> i'm not worried about it. at the end of the day, the fish rots at the head, as you know. >> the president is rotting? >> i'll tell you what, i don't think this president's led. i think he's frustrated even his own base. you saw that in new york, just two nights ago, when even democrats are saying, look. we don't like the direction that even barack obama is taking this country. and he's going to have to answer to that. so, i don't think that that's an issue. i think that what americans are starving for are not necessarily all republican answers or all democrat answers. but what republicans are starving for is real, authentic people to serve this country. >> -- to get something done this year on jobs? >> i think that the republicans in the house have tried to get things done on jobs. i mean, we passed cut and cap and balance. we passed the budget. the democrats haven't been able to pass the budget. the president promised to cut the deficit in half by his first term. what did he do? he introduced the biggest structural deficit in the history of america. and guess what? not one single democrat in the united states senate voted for the president's plan. i have to tell you, he's taken this country off the rails. and the american people know it. >> republicans are getting more satisfied with the presidential field. but a lot is still holding back. you have heard the talk here in new york, across the country. a lot in the establish think, we want another candidate in the race. a lot of talk about new jersey governor, chris christie. is there time for him to get in? and do you think he should? >> there's time for a lot of people to get in. bill clinton joined the race in october the year before the election. and i was a chairman in wisconsin at a time when ron johnson announced his candidacy eight months before an election. i'm also very satisfied with where the field is at in the republican side of the aisle. and i think that it's time to start the debate on how to get america back on the rails and save ourselves economically. and make barack obama a one-term president. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. >> you bet. >> robin? >> all right, george. cantaloupes are not the only thing people are questioning the safety of this morning. the fda and some of the popular apple juice brands are defending the safety of their product after "the dr. oz show" raised questions about the level of arsenic in apple juice. dr. richard besser joins us with a look at this controversy. >> that's right, robin. dr. oz is telling parents to check their pantries and read their juice labels after independent testing found high levels in apple juice. but some like gerber, mott's and juicy juice are fighting back, saying their product meets safety standards set by the fda. so, we decided to do some of our own fact-checking. >> some of the best brands in america have arsenic in their apple juice. >> reporter: he called it the most shocking investigation yet. >> what is going on? >> reporter: on his show, dr. mehmet oz took on the apple juice industry, warning parents that the very juice they were giving their kids contained dangerous levels of arsenic. >> unregulated arsenic in apple juice in america is unacceptable. >> i give my boys apple juice frequent frequently. i was shocked. i never heard of this before. >> i'm the guy administering poison to my own children? no. this is ridiculous. >> that's how i feel, too. >> reporter: when it comes to arsenic, what matters is what kind and how much. arsenic is everywhere. we breathe it. it's in our soil. it's found in foods we eat and things we drink. here's what you need to know. there's two ferms of arsenic. one that's harmful and one that's not. the kind in apple juice is the kind that's not harmful. the oz show didn't test individually. >> inorganic is toxic. we don't know from the samples which it was. >> reporter: the fda sent a letter to the oz show five days before the show was to air, warning them airing the show would be irresponsible and misleading because the testing was based solely on tests for total arsenic. and days later, sent a second letter. stating the fda and nestle did their own testing on the nestle/gerber brand apple juice. >> we were stunned that someone would go out, buy 50 samples of juice and send it to 1 lab and get 1 result. to us, it defies logic. >> reporter: the bottom line, is apple juice safe? >> apple juice is safe. i have six children. i have no problem with them drinking apple juice. >> reporter: the juice product association says reports about arsenic in apple juice are misleading and may needlessly cause concern among consumers. we've heard of one school that's pulled apple juice out of the cafeteria. >> they've done this. all right, rich. dr. mehmet oz joins us live from washington. good enough to join us here. thank you, dr. oz. and dr. besser will stay and join our discussion. i will get to you in a moment, dr. oz. rich, just weigh in on all this. >> mehmet, i'm very upset about this. i think this was extremely irresponsible. putting out this kind of a health warning, manufacturing a health crisis, based on faulty, incomplete data. this fear-mongering, it reminds me of yelling fire in a movie theater. i'm very annoyed about this. >> dr. oz, do you stand by your results? and how do you respond to what rich just said? >> i'm not fear-mongering. we did our homework on this, rich. we spent a lot of time making sure we got our numbers right. let me go through this quickly. we had concerns about arsenic in apple juice. not because we thought about it. other groups, independent of ours, over the last three years have been publishing reports about this. i have to address some of the claims you're making. you claim that most of the arsenic in apple juice is of the organic type. that's not true. the only pure juice study i looked at that evaluated high levels of arsenic that was published by the university of arizona in 2009, showed that most of the arsenic was of the inorganic -- >> i have to interrupt you there. how can you go on the air and publish arsenic results without breaking it down into total -- inorganic and organic. in the dangerous kind and the kind that's not dangerous? any food lab that does testing does total first. and then looks to see is it harmful? how can you tell people it's harmful without ding the tests? and how can you do testing in one lab, without getting the results confirmed by other labs? no good scientist would ever do that kind of work. >> i disagree, rich. we looked at total arsenic levels. that's what the fda looks at and the epa initially. your assumption that organic arsenic is safe is not true. organic arsenic has been looked at in fish. in those species, it does seem to be safe. but there's been a lot of debate. and the body converts inorganic arsenic, into arsenic forms that are very toxic. eat's mitt leading to claim that to claim that organic arsenic is safe. there's been a shift in our food supply for apple juice. i'm a big supporter of apple juice. i talked about it on my show. i continue to give it to my kids. i want to be clear about this. nobody is dying from acute toxicity of arsenic. the levels we're talking about are much lower than that. my concern is long-term effects over years of kids getting arsenic levels higher than we can tolerate. the fda and epa have been reducing the level of arsenic that's safe for us. >> mehmet, you're still implying that drinking apple juice is exposing children to toxic arsenic. and you haven't done that test. that's wrong. that's fear-mongering. you're telling parents they are poisoning their children. and you have absolutely no evidence of doing that. you haven't done the right tests when other labs have tested the samples you tested, they found levels lower than you found. how can you say there's an issue with that? >> rich, we got the study, the results from the fda, who, by the way. we initially reached out to the juice manufacturers association, the juice companies in the fda, no one would participate in the discussion. now, they want to talk about it. >> did you read the letters they sent to you? the letters that are on their website? >> i did read the letters. those letters are on our website. we published the entire dialogue. when we asked the fda on information on how they determine the safe levels of arsenic in apples, they told us to file the freedom of information act. when we got the data from the fda arguing our numbers were erroneous, we retested -- >> in the same laboratory. >> we had a separate group. this laboratory tests commercial samples. they work with the fda on the samples. it's not a run of the mill lab. we had another group, independent of us. >> bottom line -- are you still telling parents that their children are being poisoned by apple juice and they shouldn't drink that? are you standing behind the claim that apple juice -- >> i never said that. rich, i never said that. what i said was, we, the american public, has a right to know there are concerns because 60% of the apples in our apple juice come from overseas. we take great care in this country to ban arsenic in pesticides to protect our people. we're getting apples from countries where they don't have those rules. we had enough samples to raise concerns. three other groups had the same type of results. we want to have the conversation. and we've been trying to make this conversation happen. we get folks talking to you and i for clarity on this issue. one, quick bottom line. i would not take apple juice out of my kids' container right now. i have four kids. we need to be clear on what level is acceptable. we should not allow more arsenic in our apple juice than we allow in our drinking water. >> you brought up water. mehmet, you're right. we have started a conversation here. and we appreciate your willingness to come on and talk to us live about it. and i'm sure it's a conversation that we're going to continue. you guys went to school together. >> that's right. we have to get to local weather. but thank you to both. local weather. sorry, sam. we'll get to you next half hour. coming up, the hottest couple on the internet. bruce and esther. and the salahis, what really happened?
