secret life. >> reporter: cnn's program "the hunt" hosted by john walsh. >> charles mozdir did a great job and spent his whole life doing this great job. you know what his great job was? hiding from everybody what he really was. >> reporter: the episode first aired last week and then reran sunday. authorities saying a woman called after seeing the broadcast giving them mozdir's cell phone, which they traced. >> this is the guy that was hiding in plain sight. just give us the one tip, and that one tip may save somebody's life. >> officials say mozdir was licensed to carry a handgun in california, but that's not the weapon that was used in the shootout. the parents of the victim say they are relieved now that they don't have to live in fear anymore, and as for those injured officers, they're in stable condition, and they are expected, thankfully, to make a full recovery from that. >> thank goodness for that. >> boy. such a busy area too. >> uh-huh. we're going to get the latest now on the new hampshire teenager missing for nine months, suddenly returned

home last week. a suspect has been arrested on kidnapping charges expected in court this afternoon. abc's ryan smith is tracking the case from conway, new hampshire. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, george. today the man accused of kidnapping abigail hernandez will be arraigned in this courthouse. on monday he was arrested in a local trailer park. police telling residents to stay inside as s.w.a.t. teams desc d descended on their property to take into custody the man behind the disappearance. they say. this morning, 34-year-old nathaniel kibby is sitting in a jail accused of felony kidnapping in the disappearance of abigail hernandez. prosecutors saying he confined the now 15-year-old girl with the purpose of committing an offense against her. what offense is still unknown. according to abc affiliate wmur, kibby kept a storage container that some are referring to as an above-ground bunker in his backyard. >> i haven't noticed anything unusual. >> reporter: overnight hernandez

who disappeared nine months ago saying in a statement, "it's an incredible feeling to be home, and i believe in my heart that your hopes and prayers played a major role in my release." officials say a traumatized hernandez, who family says is malnourished and unable to eat solid foods, is now helping investigators piece together clues to understand where she has been. kibby's neighbors are shocked wondering if abby was held in that storage container all along. >> i would hope that she can't be that close and nobody knew it. >> reporter: those clues leading them straight to kibby in the town of gorham just 34 miles away from her family's home. hernandez initially thought to be a runaway until her mother received a letter from her in november. >> it was really just numbing for the first maybe three weeks, four weeks and then i received a letter and it was like exhilarating. >> someone may now be manipulating her and her safety

is still absolutely in question. >> reporter: last sunday after nine long months of searching, hernandez returned home. a family friend was with abby and her mother when they learned of kibby's arrest. >> now they can finally get to some closure. now they just get to be the hernandez family again, and they haven't had that for a long time. >> police still aren't revealing the details of the alleged kidnapping or how abby hernandez came to be reunited with her family but more should be revealed today at the arraign many or at the press conference scheduled to take place later today. george. >> okay, ryan, thanks. let's bring in our chief legal affairs anchor dan abrams and these kidnapping charges would hold even in abigail originally chose to go with the guy. >> yeah. we don't know that's the case but it really wouldn't matter. bottom line is under the law in new hampshire, if he knowingly took away, enticed away, even concealed a child under the age of 18 who he's not related to to keep that child away from her parents, that would be the crime of kidnapping.

>> but it could be relevant if he brought her back. >> that's right. if, if, and it's a big if, if he brought her back in a safe place and -- and this is the biggest if -- there wasn't serious bodily injury, that would -- >> that would be the big debate. >> that would be the big debate. if that were the case, returns her to a safe place and no serious bodily injury could be talking about taking it from a class "a" felony which would be 7 1/2 to 15 years to a class "b" felony of 3 1/2 to 7 years so the law is specifically designed to entice someone who engages in a kidnapping to return someone safely to their home. again, we don't know and based on the condition she's in, i think there would be a real question as to whether there was no serious bodily injury. >> the details that come out today could be key. >> and there could be additional charges. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. let's go to amy with the other top stories. >> good morning, everyone. and we begin with the story breaking overnight. further escalating tensions with russia. the white house is now formally

smokers, they were less obese so they're healthier people, but the exciting thing here is it's showing that any kind of exercise has some benefit, that you don't have to exercise like you in order to get some health out of this. >> but just very quickly, to runners out there who are watching this morning, they can cut back a little bit and still have the same benefit. >> i wouldn't say cut back. i'd say the couch potatoes who are saying, i don't have 30 minutes a day get up and do something. anything. >> just so i nknow i haven't wasted all that time pounding the pavement. >> we got to move over to ginger and the weather. a lot cooler here. >> let's move. let's move and run because that's how you stay warm this morning. i'm going to get it all the way through. okay, so cooler, yes, lexington, kentucky. i am really going to do this in heels, yes, fun. lexington, 52, a record low this morning. feeling it and there you go in the southeast, i told you i was going to keep doing it. your local weather forecast in just 30 seconds but first this morning's "tuesday trivia"

not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better.

eliquis.

i was 7 and the idea of playing a role that is limited to only three words, three mono syllabic words was a challenge. the real reason i played the role was because when marvel gave me the book of conceptual art, i went home and showed it to my family and my 3-year-old son when i asked, who do you think marvel wants daddy to play? my 3-year-old son pointed to the tree. >> he did. >> yeah. >> so you say one thing repeatedly. it means many things in the film. the line is, if you will. >> the line is "i am groot." >> but the director would sort of tell you what it was supposed to mean given the scene. can you explain how that worked. >> well, i went into the adr booth and there was a 50-page document and on the left-hand side it would say i am groot and on the right-hand side it would have the sentence or the paragraph of what you would have heard if you could understand

the nuances of the speech. but because it was hard in larynx, all of the oblivious could hear, i am groot. >> so given that we are going to play a little game with you where you are going to show us how this works. so, for example, if groot was trying to say, hey, come here often how would he say that. >> i am groot. >> and if he was going to say from famous line from "iron giant." >> whoo. "iron giant." >> you are who you choose to be. how would he say that. >> groot doesn't recite "iron giant" lines that often. it's a guy. so is groot really but -- >> how about this, you'll love this. who loves you, baby? >> oh, i love that. you know what she's doing. all of -- that know kojak know the tired old line and she's that hip to even talk about kojak. >> because this guy -- you are
