Inside Edition for Friday, November 3, 2023

This weekend is a big one for runners, as the New York City Marathon takes place on Sunday. While officials say there are no credible threats, pro-Palestine demonstrators have posted specific plans on social media to show up at certain spots along the route, and as Steven Fabian reports, that's got some folks on edge. And you would like to think that a man who's been jailed three times for kidnapping women would never be allowed out to attack again…you would be wrong. This woman was kidnapped and beaten, cops say, by a man who did multiple jail stints for the very same thing. And she's lucky to be alive. Ann Mercogliano with a report that we warn may be intense for younger viewers. Plus, it’s a scare on a plane...as a backpack belonging to a former American Idol contestant went up in flames.

Les Trent on what the airline says was in the bag that caused all the problems. And the death of Matthew Perry has led to renewed interest in the TV show Friends...including its theme song which is back on the charts after 30 years. Jim Moret speaks with one of the members of the Rembrandts - the pop group that recorded it.
