Inside Edition for Thursday, October 23, 2025

It sounds like a movie plot. A family jumps off their burning boat and ends up stranded on a remote island. But this really happened! Incredibly, their radio washed ashore, and they were able to send out a mayday call to the coast guard. And cops arrested a father who left his daughter in a hot car for hours leading to her death. He's avoiding a trial by pleading guilty. Initially he told cops he was playing video games when this happened... But now cops are revealing what else he was watching.  Plus, it's not the way the NBA wanted to start the season! With a huge cheating and gambling scandal. Authorities say players and coaches are involved...including a legendary coach who was courtside last night just hours before his arrest. The FBI says the scheme has mob links.  And there are unusually large crowds outside The White House today trying to get a glimpse of the now demolished East Wing. As anger grows, a Democratic congresswoman says, as soon as President Trump is out of office, they should tear down his giant ballroom and bring back the East Wing...as it was.
