al is in pensacola beach, florida with more on the weather. of course the people are watching to see if that oil makes it to the beach today. al? >> hey, guys, the oil sheen, there is an oil sheen about seven miles offshore. they expect it to make landfall within 24 to 48 hours. that may pick up steam as we've got winds coming out of the south-southwest today, on into tomorrow, with this oil slick. in fact, that's going to be the big problem, kind of the fly in the ointment, if you will. we've got a big bunch of storms firing up in the gulf which may even increase the winds from 10 to 20 miles per hour to up to 40 miles per hour, which will complicate things here in the gulf as far as that's concerned. as you can see, those thunderstorms firing up along the panhandle of florida. that's going to cause big problems. again, they don't have any beach closures here. beaches are open but of course, they're watching, they've got spotter boats and they've also got helicopters up as well. as you can see for today, we are looking at a lot of heavy weather throughout, a slight risk of strong storms throughout the mid-atlantic states into the northeast, clouds and showers in the pacific northwes >> we are off to a quiet start on this thursday. it will be a warm and humid today. late afternoon, 30% chance for a thunderstorm to >> and that's your latest weather. natalie? >> all right, al, thank you. five years after alabama teenager natalee holloway disappeared in aruba, joran slavan der sloot is again the chief suspect in the murder of a girl, this time from peru. van der sloot is reportedly on the run. courtney hazlett, good morning. once again, joran van der sloot is now the prime suspect. he was arrested twice during the natalee holloway story and was released. then now again his name has come up. give me some of the facts and backgrounds around the case. >> what we know is this -- that her body was found yesterday in peru. it looked like she was stabbed very violently, wrapped in a blanket and it occurred on monday which would be the five-year anniversary of the death -- i'm sorry, the disappearance of natalee holloway. joran van der sloot's attorney says, listen, this is a guy who just has people pointing fingers at him. he's not been convicted of anything, why are you doing this now? well, because his name was registered to the hotel room where this body was found. they're caught on videotape exiting the hotel together. this time at least there appears to be forensic evidence. there is a body. there wasn't a body with natalee holloway. it should be cleared up, one would think, pretty decisively. >> if they can find him because he's now reportedly as well on the run. so obviously that makes you look even that much more guilty. >> it certainly does. if he's innocent, he has a really bad habit of ending up with women who end up dying right after they've been in his company. i think in pop culture terms, the reason this is resonating so much is in so many cases, it is everyone's worst nightmare as a parent that your child could go missing when you think they're safe. as a woman, that you think that you're getting to know somebody and then suddenly everything goes wrong. it is not the person you thought it was. then furthermore, in pop culture terms, a lot of people are saying, maybe this is sort of an o.j. simpson sort of situation where you get away with it one time, and then something else happens and then you're finally caught. >> that leads you right back to that same person. let's talk also, speaking of a lot of the stories in the news the last couple of days, and more on the death of gary coleman. now we are hearing for the first time the 911 tape from the woman who was his wife. let's take a listen to a portion of that first. >> there's like blood all over and i can't do anything. >> where is he at now? >> on the floor in the kitchen. he's just sitting there. he's sitting up now. but he's like not. i mean his head's all bloody in the back. gary, don't move! stay there, okay? you have to put this on your head. keep pressure on this. okay? hold this. he's bloody like all freaking over. don't move. i don't even know why you're standing. here. >> tell him he needs to sit down. >> you need to sit down. sit down. gary, sit down! look at the floor. sit down! >> it is a hard phone call to listen to. are you surprised at the behavior that we're hearing from shannon price? >> it is a fascinating 911 call. usually when we hear those calls you don't want to listen because there is so much terror involved and grief. this just doesn't really sound like the call made by somebody who loved somebody who's hurt. really, there are some strange circumstances surrounding this. nothing about gary coleman's life was normal. from the beginning. i mean this is a person who was thrust into child stardom and from the word "go" his life was never normal again. their relationship specifically was one where they went through divorce court, they were divorced. papers indicate that. they were revealed yesterday. the attorney for gary coleman said, listen, i don't flow if they ever remarried but i think that's something he would have shared with me. >> that brings up questions about whether or not she's acting in his best interest when she's there directing the 911 call. then at the hospital. >> right. which leads to the hospital as well where she was the one to make the ultimate call that he be taken off of life support after he slipped out of consciousness. i think there are a lot of questions that remain here. the family of gary coleman definitely wants answers. it will be interesting to see how cooperative she is. >> then real quickly, charlie sheen, reportedly set to plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge stemming from the domestic dispute on christmas day with his wife. will he be heading to jail? he'll reportedly be sentenced to 30 days. >> >> all indications are monday he will appear in court in colorado. there is a plea deal in place. the judge hasn't signed off on it which is why no one from the sheen camp can make any official comment right now, but all indications are he'll go and report to jail as well on monday. this will be a 30-day sentence that really in the end will only end up being about 15 to 17 days once you factor in good behavior and that sort of thing. good time. really good timing, because "two and a half men," goes back to work usually in late july, early august. his originally court date wasn't until july 21st. he's hitting this off at the pass. and really again, it is will be an instance where his image is not hurt at all in the end. >> the highest paid actor in television. right? >> highest paid actor on television. number one show. this is a guy with a domestic violence claim against him and he's on a family show. this does not affect his career whatsoever. he is teflon in this industry. >> certainly beyond teflon. courtney hazlett, thank you so much. coming up next, how safe is your home?
