Inside Edition for Friday July 17, 2026

For the first time, we're seeing the suspect police say caused a big scare at the Today Show by rushing past security and charging at one of the co-hosts. Ann Mercogliano reports this is not his first run-in with the law. The suspect is being held on 10 thousand dollars bond. He has pleaded not guilty. And it's been a manhunt for two decades for a doctor accused of sexually assaulting his date on board his yacht. He vanished just before his case went to the jury 21 years ago. Now he's back in custody after U.S. Marshals found him, where else, but on a yacht. In addition to the sexual assault conviction, Fischer is expected to face charges related to unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Plus, World Cup fans are gearing up for what's expected to be quite the star-studded finale on Sunday. But along with security and crowd control, there's another worry: the 80,000 spectators breathing in lingering smoke from the Canadian wildfires. And jaws dropped across the country earlier this week after a grandfather was tossed into the air by a raging bison. For one woman, it brought back horrible memories. Her father, a popular TV reporter, was killed when a bison went on the attack.
