right. at this point we don t want to jump to conclusions and say that we ve made any kind of positive identification because we have not. reporter: in washington, susan s father, chuck cox, said he was told by police that the remains were found in a shallow grave. it raises our hopes that we re going to have some kind of closure of what happened to her, so but on the other hand, it also takes away the hope that she is alive. reporter: but he says this is not the first time human remains have turned up in the search for susan, that previous discoveries were the bones of other people. police have named susan s husband, josh, as a person of interest while he denies having anything to do with her disappearance. police say he has stopped cooperating with them. wednesday he had no comment about these latest developments. relations between his family and susan s family have deteriorated, with both sides hurling accusations at each other. he may know something. if he knows something he needs to talk with the police. i think that would make their jobs a lot easier. reporter: forensic teams will assemble in the desert this morning to recover the remains and get them to a laboratory for testing. when we find human remains of any kind like that we will get ourselves a medical examiner to come out and take a look to help us. they can help identify the bones. they can help identify all sorts of different things we as just law enforcement don t have knowledge of. reporter: and we re told that medical examiner will be on the scene later this morning. the first thing they ll try to do is determine the race and the gender of the remains. the process of identifying them could take sometime. natalie? all right, george lewis in west valley city, utah, thank you, george. today former marine dakota meyer will receive the medal of honor, the nation s highest military honor in a ceremony at the white house. he saved 36 lives during an ambush in afghanistan in 2009. meyer says, quote, it s hard getting recognized for the worst day of your life. last night he shared a couple beers with the president, who will award him the medal today. the fda is warning about a listeria outbreak and is telling consumers not to eat rocky ford cantaloupes shipped by jensen farms in holly, colorado. the outbreak has killed four people and sickened dozens in at least seven states. jensens farms is voluntarily recalling cantaloupe it shipped between july 29th and september 10th. u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg was one of the 179 passengers forced to evacuate a plane on an emergency chute wednesday. the 78-year-old was unharmed. at least one other person was injured, though, when an engine caught fire aboard the united flight just before takeoff near washington, d.c. and despite tight economic times, nasa has unveiled plans for a new deep space rocket which some say could cost $35 million. if all goes well the first blast off could take place within a decade with a trip to plars mar the 2030s. let s check the weather with al right across the way. that would be pretty cool. thanks so much. we look at what is going on as far as today s weather and you can see a frontal system bringing showers into the northeast. that ll also bring behind it cooler temperatures, much needed relief as far south as northern and central texas. 83 today in dallas as opposed to temperatures well above 100. showers moving into the pacific northwest later today. rip currents due to tropical storm maria moving away. that s going to cause some problems. look for some rain here in the northeast. some showers in west texas, on into parts of the southwest. and we re expecting a few showers in hawaii and alaska as autumn is on the way. it arrives today, as we have showers and the forecast keeping temperatures down. 70 s for cent time for today s real estate and what you can get across the country for less than $200,000. today real estate contributor barbara corcoran is taking us on a house tour from georgia to indiana. i have missed you. i m happy you missed me. i missed you so much. it s fall and you re back. a lot of great houses out there. i picked out good ones. let s start in grand rapids, michigan, an oldie but goodie built in 1849 for $144,000. it s got seven bedrooms. seven bedrooms. and you re not going to believe it when you see the outside of the house because it doesn t really look it. you can t judge it from the outside. what it really needs is a good paint job but yet it has the original details like the dentile molding and nice porch columns. wait until you get inside. it s a totally different picture. inside that sexy curved stair case in the entry way is just a knockout, a big surprise. there s white pine woodwork, arched doorways, hand-painted co cornice boards throughout the house. i love the arched door wachlt the dining room has 12-foot ceilings and large corner windows. it is a wide room and as long as it is wide. there is the kitchen, a galley kitchen, bright with nicely updated wood cabinets. very simple. the property taxes i want to say are just $1600 a year. you know what that is? $130 a month. there s a spare little cottage that comes with the house all for $144,000. this is an old house. when you look at an older house what do you need to watch out for? you have to look down. you have cracked foundations number one, often wet basements. the biggest surprise to most old home buyers are they find out the old pipes leading to the water within the house are also old and you often have to replace them. it s your expense not the town s. thanks so much. now let s do rochester, new york. nice home near lake ontario. another oldie built in 1918, four bedrooms at $159,900. what people like about rochester is it s right next door to a 155-acre arboretum designed by the same famous guy who designed our central park. look at the front of this house. to my eye it looks like the back of the house. you re right. what a difference it would make if they d just add a small, covered porch to the right-hand corner. it would read entirely differently and improve the value and make it a lot easier to sell. the living room inside has gumwood trim. you wonder what gumwood trim is? it holds the paint better because it gives and takes. it is more expensive to put in but you don t have to paint as often. it has hardwood floors and contemporary fireplace. i like the surrounding book cases. there you have a beautiful room. i like the beamed ceilings, french doors and bay window. the kitchen is frankly a disappointment. i can t believe that kitchen goes with this house. what would you do? very easy improvements. i would put molding on the ceiling and bring the cabinets up to the ceiling and put new doors on them. that s it and it would look entirely different like a modern kitchen. upstairs is a sleeping porch that comes with this old house and also an old clothes chute that still works and there in the back yard you have a deck that s just big enough for a family of four. it looks old fashioned but has lots of privacy. and that big, back yard is nice and flat. needs a little trimming but not a bad house for $159,000. all right. let s head to the lone star state. go to texas, a three-bedroom, two-bath home in austin, priced at $165,000. hot city, austin. everybody loves austin because a lot goes on there. but two important things are going on there right now which is lots of jobs. they have dell computer and a lot of technology companies. this particular house is an impressive house but has the most unusual pale green trim and it sits on of course a big, green lot. that is not everybody s taste. easy to change the color of a house but you have to look at the bones and it s pretty as a picture. the living room has a big bay window. it has a limestone fireplace and lots of natural light. the entire house is flooded with light because you have no neighbors next door to you and every window you look out, in this particular side of the house looks out on a big green belt. you re not paying the taxes but there are no houses so it s kind of your back yard. a real big plus. the kitchen has a tile floor. it has a window over the sink and it also looks out on the green belt which you can t see in this shot but be aware, again, it is very expansive once you get into the kitchen. out back a little patio big enough for a barbecue. macon, georgia, four bedroom home $149,900. right near perry, georgia where my wife is gone. smack in the middle of georgia. this particular house is a house that isn t everyone s taste but it s crying out for good landscaping. it looks lonely on that lot. but when you get inside you ll see it has beautiful rooms, beautiful space. there s a great shot of the dining room. you see that fireplace off on the right? that s a two way fireplace so you have it in both rooms. very luscious. when i looked at the front of this house i thought it was going to look small inside. i almost didn t have a look. but look. that s a nice family room. and the space for family living goes on and on. there s also a big additional family room with a vaulted ceiling. there it is there with built-in book cases. just needs a few books around there. it s got tons of book cases. the kitchen, expensive kitchen. neat as a pin. nothing wrong with this house and a two car garage out back. let s wind up in whites town, indiana, a four-bedroom home, only 2 years old at $194,900. what is good about whitestone it s only 20 minutes from downtown indianapolis so an easy commute for most people who work there. it is a clean home, pretty shutters and neat landscaping and inside an open dining room with extra large windows and trim. you like the color? i don t usually but the fresh white trim kind of saves it. but not good colors for selling the house. it should be painted out white frankly if they want to get more money. there is a great shot of the living room. a little better color. beautiful tv on the wall. big open windows. a very neat house. it almost looks like it s been professionally staged. the kitchen has the old, wooden cabinets. they re old but have been refinished. they look lovely. a double window right there or extra wide window. there is the most peculiar color in a bedroom i have ever seen. wow. it looks a little too taj mahal for me. couldn t imagine sleeping in that room but what the heck. you can see how big that room is and it should sell even despite the paint color. there is the neatest garage i ve ever seen in my life. i don t think they keep a car in it. no. i don t think they even walk in it, just go in and scrub it up and show the neighbors. what the heck. it comes with the house for only $194,000. all right. look at that terrace. the tiniest little terrace i ve ever seen. a teenie terrace. at least it s there. all right. barbara corcoran, good to have you back. my pleasure. if you d like more information on these homes check out today.com. still to come, the son of farrah fawcett and ryan o neal heads back to court today accused of violating his probation. up next, great travel deals at some of the world s top resorts right after meese at some of the world s top resorts right after meese messages. ink up you re losing a lot of water out there! coach?

well, the idea is that with heaters normally you re hot when you re near the heater and cold when away from it, so we ve used the aero dynamic feature we got with our fan and that particular technology so we can draw through vast volumes of air and completely heat the entire room to the temperature you set at the front. so instead of sitting in front of a fan heater and keeping the knees warm with breaks over there the whole room is the temperature you set. there are a lot of safety features. for example this doesn t get hot on the exterior as well. you can touch it. al is over there melting ice cream. see how long it takes to melt. this heats and cools? yes. it ll cool as well. oh. if you lower the temperature. the other thing is you don t get that burning smell at dusk, you know, that burnt dust smell you get when you switch on the heater. we re using these semiconductor blocks. you push the air past that and it heats it up. the blocks are lower than the sort of red hot elements you normally get. at $399 which is a little more expensive than most heaters what is your feeling on that? well, you re probably saving money because you re heating the whole room evenly and maintaining it at that temperature rather than having hot spots and cold spots. all right. it ll probably save you money. sir james, thank you. fabulous. we love it. one for each of us. oming up saving money on your pets. first your local news and weather. think twice. it may be a sign that your digestive system could be working better. listen to this with occasional irregularity, things your body doesn t use could be lingering in your system, causing discomfort. but activia has been shown in clinical studies to help with slow intestinal transit when consumed 3 times per day. 7 out of 10 doctors recommend activia. and the great taste is recommended by me! the recommended amounts of whole grain and calcium. that s where their favorite cereals can help. general mills big g has the only leading line of kid cereals with at least eight grams of whole grain and a good source of calcium. help them grow up strong with general mills kid cereals. live, local, latebreaking. this is a wbal-tv 11 news update. clouds in the area this morning, rain as well. it will have an effect on the temperatures. temperatures rising from the 60 s into the 70 s midday. during the afternoon, temperatures will drop off and little debt. the cooler air begins t it was like being shot out of a cannon into another cannon and just shot out of that one. yeah. like from one moment to the next i didn t know what was going to happen. it was pretty exciting. and then the whole scary or exciting or was it scary at times?

it takes the seasoning issue out. you have incredible garlic, lemon. it adds a lot of flavor to it. and it makes it look really beautiful as you roast it. the sugar really helps. so after we take it out of the brine, about eight hours. it stays in the refrigerator? yes, for eight hours in the fridge. i like to pull it out, pat it dry. okay. add a little roasted garlic oil just so it has a nice little bit of oil. helps to get a nice color to it. and i add a little bit of this thyme over the top because first of all it smells beautiful and then it gives it a really nice look to it when it comes out of the oven. put it in the oven about 350 degrees for about 35 to 40 minutes. okay. that easy. now when we re done with that, you know, what we like to do at the restaurant in l.a., we make a little chicken broth out of it and we give our guests literally the carcass and a little bit of a fancy chef way of saying carrots, celery, and onion. sounds a little better, like we know what we re doing. add a little herbs to it like that. we cook this for about an hour. you want to skim it to take off a little bit of this sediment coming up. make it nice and clear. what you re left with is this beautiful broth right here. and this is where we go into making the next course of the chicken, a little bit of chicken soup. now everyone loves chicken soup at home right? sure. this is a great way to do it. you have the chicken broth left over from the roasted chicken. right. pour it right in. we like to sweat some of that carrots, celery, and onion. add a little bay leaf. i like to add peas. those are frozen peas? just add frozen peas. get them fresh at the market. a little noodles. the noodles will cook quick. i just add them right on in. then some of the left over pulled chicken. some of these recipes, check it out on my twitter handle at chef david meyers. okay. i always got good stuff coming up. if you re short on time you could get one of those rotisserie chickens. you can totally do a rotisserie chicken and get the in ex-two dishes which is the soup and then a little chicken salad. we finished up with our soup right here. right. which i think is really a great way to have a second meal. then the roasted chicken. you see what i m talking about with the beautiful color from the brine? you have to try this. it s fantastic. very juicy. the brine makes it a lot more special in flavor. isn t it great? fantastic. we have this on our new menu and we re doing a whole new menu and this is one of the new dishes we have. the skin is the best part. isn t it fwraet? i like to finish with a little salad. in france you have a roasted chicken and salad afterwards which is fantastic. i like a little salad with some diced chicken left over from the breast and a little bit of the vegetables and some vinagrette which is great. can you make the broth and freeze that and hold on to it? a great point. i like to take a little left over stock if i have it or the broth. definitely freeze it. use it later. even add it to make a sauce a little better. this looks and smells delicious. nothing like the perfect roast chicken. absolutely. all right. great. and some wine. i believe it is a woody merlot. wow. that would go nice with the roasted chicken. he was a country singer woody merlot. fantastic. thanks so much. thanks, al. coming up, what do we have? american idol winner and i love him. and i have a piece of chicken. want to shake my hand? that says it. it s greasy. all right. hoda and kathie lee coming up next. sarah will get to the bottom of the handshake thing. live, local, latebreaking. this is a wbal-tv 11 news update. clouds change to rain during the day. rainshowers ahead, much chillier air behind. 71-76, mostly cloudy skies. scattered showers. highs
