ELIZABETH VARGAS (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Good evening, I'm Elizabeth Vargas. David is away tonight. It is a decade-long saga that just concluded just this week and it revolves around a simple question. Did she or didn't she? At the center is a woman named Noura Jackson and tonight, she's free, but her hometown is convinced she committed a crime as brutal as it is rare. So as you watch, let us know what you think, guilty or not? Here's John Quinones. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

ELIZABETH VARGAS (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Let's call this next story a sin of omission. Not really a lie, but it certainly turned into a shocker. If you ever watched the Olympics, you'll probably remember golden girl gymnast Dominique Moceanu, her life played out on television for everyone to see. But it was a dark family secret she didn't discover until her mid-20s that would throw her completely "Off Balance," the title of her brand-new book. Here's John Quinones. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

ANNOUNCER "20/20" continues with "Passengers Gone Wild." (Voiceover) Flying can be downright miserable. But it's often your fellow passengers that'll make it a special hell, from screaming kids to drunken diatribes. JOHN QUINONES (ABC NEWS) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

JOHN QUINONES (ABC NEWS) (Voiceover) This is Dr. Erin Carey. We are one. Her three words for her unborn son will take them halfway around the world. Erin is a doctor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill hospitals. She's volunteered for programs helping women in the world's poorest countries. And she's agreed to report with us on the medical system in Sierra Leone. More women die in childbirth here than almost any other country on the planet. Just after dawn, Erin goes to the Princess Christian Maternity Hospital for a tour. It's the largest public hospital in Sierra Leone. You might think a pregnant woman would be safer in a hospital than the dirt floors of a hut, but when Erin enters this labor ward, it looks like a war zone. Nurses mop up blood with dirty water. No antiseptics. The surgical gloves are being washed in the sink to be used again. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

CHRIS CUOMO (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) A lot of angry things are said in the heat of a divorce, but when Ed Burns said "death before divorce" about his wife, was he recalling his vows or making a threat? It's a question that loomed large when his ex-wife was found dead in her bed on Mother's Day. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

CHRIS CUOMO (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) He wanted to find fame as a B movie Tarzan. Instead, Steve Sipek found fame, or notoriety, as something quite different, an all too human king of the jungle who had his own little boy share a bed with lions and tigers. And in this live and let live atmosphere, despite supposedly taking every precaution, somebody was bound to get hurt. Here's John Quiñones. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

JOHN STOSSEL (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Sunday is Father's Day. But how does a father get through that day if his child is missing? Even worse, if no one in law enforcement will help him find her? That happened to the two men you'll meet now. They were shrugged off by the police and the FBI. If they wanted to see their daughters again, they would have to do the detective work. Would they find them? Would their daughters be alive? Here's John Quinones. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

JOHN STOSSEL (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) She was a child. 14 years old. Innocent about everything, including sex. And then, she was told, 'You must get married."

[ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

JOHN STOSSEL (ABC NEWS) (Off-camera) Good evening and welcome to '20/20." Elizabeth Vargas is off tonight. If you've ever been caught in extreme weather, you know how frightening and sometimes dangerous that can be. So we're devoting most of this hour to weather and myths about it. It turns out that what we've been told to do in a storm could put us at more risk. But first, that Texas polygamy case is getting more troubling. Now there are allegations that both girls and boys were sexually abused. And we have the inside story on the new front man for the sect, a man who's been described as a thug and a bully. John Quinones reports from Texas. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
