always has a great response. >> you and i learned that. first we begin withny details about the affluenza teen and what he and his mom were doing on the run captured in puerto vallarta of a three-we manhunt and new videoeoiving us a look at how they spent theirir time. abc's matt gutman is there with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, amy. the couches seemed to be living life o on a budget staying in that shabby hotel behind me shopping at the local groceries but what's so t tking about that video i i how at ease they seem to be in their new lives as fugitives unaware that just two hours after that video was shot, the mexican police would swoop down on them. is morning the first many imagine images of tmm on the run. in this exclusive video you see ethan couch entering this butcher shop across the street from his shayrental. the forormerly blond teen'sairr

hat backwards seems at ease talkino the butcher paying for chicken in pace sos and leaving with a little wave. two days earlier his mother in that tank top tries to pay for food with u.s. llars. she chats withhe butcher who won't take the greenbacks from the texan. about two hours after this surveillance video couch i shot monday he is arrested. you see him cuffed and escorted to a cruiser and then up close in police custody. >> after 11 d days of the u.s. martha shall service tracking downthan couch we is a he's in custody. >> reporter: couch and his mother planned to disappear shortly after this video allegedly showing couch violating parole at a boozy paparty went viral on ttter but before they left -- >> they had a going away party. >> reporter: taking tonya's truck to the border. >> our understanding they drove the truck down there. >> reporter: investigatorsrs confirming to abc news ethan and tonyaouch used burner phones

into this beachside resort los tules an a worker spotted them and tipped off authorities and tracked them to this $80 a month in old town puerto vallarta. they ate in the back. ahead the legal process takeses over for the texas teen who pled guilty in 2013 to driving drunk and killing four people. couc was sentenced to probation after his legal team argued he suffered from affluenza, saying he was too spoiled to know right from wrong. authorities also hoping to charge uch's mother. >> we expect to charge her with hindering apprehension carrying two to ten years in penitentiary. i think she deserves to be incarcerated. reporter: prosecutors may get their shot pretty soon. it's expected tonya will be deported back to the u.s. as early as tonight, could en face a judge in texas tonight. but we're lrning just now just moments ago papers have been filed here in mexico to try to

no word yet on whether that has been successful. david. >> matt gutman, thanks. we're joined by one of the lead investigators on the case from the beginning. tar tar tarrant county detective d dee anderson. how soon will they be hauled back. >> they're still in mexico in the custody o the mexican authorities and expectithin the next 24 to 48 hours to have them back here i intexas. >> you have reported that the teenager and his mother had a sort of going away party before they even left. so i'm curious about the punishment now. this teenager had only ever faced probation f drunk driving killing four. wh kind of punishment does he face now? >> what we're hope something that he will be placed into an adult court system and placed on an adult probation system which will be very, very strict and very intensive. much different than what he was under the j juvenile system. probably the way it looks under the law is messed up as it is he'll probably only be able to

actually in jail under the old case but then he would be able to put him under very, very intense supervision on obation, much differe than he was before. >> the potential for 120 days for the teenager in the meantime, the mom couldld face morere jail time than the son. >> that's true. the case we're filing against her for assisng him and hindering an apprehension in texas is a felony punishable by two to ten years in the penitentiary so she could conceibly do actual prison time and we certainly will push to have her prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. >> you found them in puerto vallarta. what kind of message does this send to that community where four families are remembering their loved ones k killed in that drunk driving incident. >> yeah, i mean it's just terrible for those families. they've all been victimized all over again. they just had to all spend christmas without a loved one because of his irresponsible activities and so i know from talking to some of the family

that we would catch him and bring him back to texas and let him f face justice and such that it is and i know they're very relieved he's in custody and hopefully on the way back to texas soil. >> all right, sheriff anderson with us from texas this morning, sheriff, thanks so much. >> my pleasure. and there is much more ahead this morning. coming up, the other case, the "glee" star known for playing the bad boy in t series arrested in real life. what police say they found in his home. the battle of the cell phone plans ringing in the new year. freeee data for life? is it too good to be true?
