>> right there with them, our ice bucket brigade this morning, getting ready for a massive ice bucket challenge, could be the biggest yet. it could be a bit chilly to add to the chill that we're about to feel. i think half the crowd is there just to see michael strahan, sorry, he already did it. >> that is a bit later but we'll begin, david, of course, with so much that's happening this morning. that situation in ferguson, missouri, calm prevailing overnight with the highway patrol taking command there. we're going to speak to missouri's governor and ferguson's police chief in just a moment, but first abc's steve osunsami is there again for us this morning in ferguson. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we're outside where police have just announced the name of the officer involved in shooting of michael brown, his name is darren wilson, a six-year veteran of the police force here. >> hands up don't shoot. >> reporter: overnight the violence and riots of the past week disappeared replaced by a much different but dramatic sight.

a huge first -- the leader of the highway patrol was walking side by side with demonstrators. >> this is my community. a lot of people that i saw walking and marching are people that i know so as the old saying i have a dog in this fight, i've got a big dog in the fight. >> reporter: and here's a picture of the st. louis metropolitan police chief taking a selfie with the protester. an entirely different mood after missouri's governor took patrol duties away from the local missouri's governor took patrol duties away from the local county and police and this image from wednesday, too much. even the president condemning both the looting and the police action. >> there's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights. >> reporter: those rights are now being exercised across the country, a national moment of silence in d.c., chicago and boston. young people crowding times square, all asking for justice

for michael brown and demanding police identify the officer who shot and killed the unarmed teen after what police say was a dispute in the street. >> you have to be concerned about the officer's safety, about his family's safety and you have to take measures to protect them but there comes a point in time where that name should be released because it's going to get out anyway. >> reporter: there's screaming and yelling from people who came here to listen to 24 announcement today. we expect to have more details throughout the day. robin? >> all right, steve, thank you very much. and joining us now the governor of missouri, jay nixon and ferguson police chief thomas jackson. thank you, gentlemen, both for joining us this morning. we certainly do appreciate it and governor ix nixon, how do you feel about it? is this quick enough for you. >> one step in the process and an important step. i think that will be a step on

the road to healing here and justice. obviously, we have had a very numberous week. i think the shifts we made yesterday to make those optional shifts to calm folks down with only one arrest. how deep quite frankly hthese wounds are. >> thankful that last night was much more peaceful because in part the shift that you made to the missouri highway patrol, why did you make that decision, sir? >> i felt that an optional shift would give us a different tone, open up a little bit of folks' ability to speak their voice and hopefully make a differen from the first?3 some progress. it allows them to focus their initial decision on getting these investigations completed.

>> you saw the images, the entire nation saw the images of a couple of nights ago and even you, governor said, it was more like a war zone in saying that was unacceptable. chief, is there anything looking back that you feel that you should have done differently. >> this has been a fluid situation. one thing i want to reflect on, through this whole process, not one protester, not one rioter has been injured during the whole thing and i think that's a credit to all law enforcement. >> all these changes were very effective. we saw that last night. do you believe that you learned from mistakes? >> oh, yeah. sure. but in the end, the tactics that were used, the perception throughout the country has been a little bit different than the actual reality on the ground. but, a lot of times perception is reality, we have learned a

lot from that. >> how do you assure the residents there that will be a fair investigation and everyone is just wanting to know that there will be justice, everyone is calling for justice, how do you show that sf. >> i think continuing to for press, both the justice departments and local to move their investigation. i was pleased to hear the chief indicate that this would be a day that finally that initial name will come out and we'll work to make sure thehuure ther security around that. >> well, i think it's just one step in the process and an important step and appreciate

the chief and the others getting that name out and be a step on the road to healing here and justice. we're going to turn to that surprising news about robin williams of his wife revealing he had parkinson's disease releasing this statement. robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of parkinson's which he was not yet ready to share publicly. joining us, dr. jennifer ashton. this must have been so hard for him to carry this as well. now that we know this you were telling us there's an established link between parkinson's and depression. >> absolutely. there are separate brain issues but there is an association. we know about 20% to 40% of parkinson's patients suffer major depression and that's not just as a reaction to this tough diagnosis. the theory there are similar brain chemical changes in parkinson's and depression. >> the dopamine. >> exactly, that neurochemical. >> and you were saying, as soon as you see signs of this, there is early detection and new tests for this. >> absolutely. it's very important to take a good history as it is with any medical condition and then brain imaging, brain scans, there's something called a d.a.t. scan

that actually looks for low levels of that neurotransmitter dopamine often used to diagnose parkinson's. >> we know he took his own life but we want to give hope. is there treatment out there? >> absolutely there's treatment and you want to ideally incorporate the use of a neurologist with a psychiatrist and remain hopeful because there are effective treatments. >> all right, dr. ashton, always great to have you. thanks, jen. >> now to flash flooding across the southwest. monsoon rains washing away roads and cars forcing drivers to be rescued and there's more rain in the forecast. you know that ginger is tracking it all for us. good morning, ginger. >> good morning to both of you and you know, we had one inch in just ten minutes in parts of the mountains in colorado and this is what happens when you get that much rain that fast. washout in the west. >> i can't get out. >> reporter: flash floods devouring roads near tucson. >> my son is getting off the bus. should be coming any minute and he gets off over there. >> reporter: causing mudslides in nevada. >> behind my house and gets

pulled up. by the time it drove off, the girls were gone. their parents who do not have a phone running to a neighbor's house to alert police. investigators forced to work with only a sketch of the 12-year-old because many amish shun modern technology. they did not allow police to draw a sketch of the 6-year-old. then late thursday, after the small town gathered for a prayer vigil, a breakthrough. rescuers rushing to the family home after learning the girls were alive. authorities tell us the alleged kidnapper dropped them off in the small town of richville, about 30 miles from their home. >> the girls walked up to a stranger's house. thank goodness they had enough courage to be able to do that. knocked on the door and that person took them home. >> reporter: state senator patty ritchie speaking with their father before their return home. >> he said it was in god's hands now and shortly after we came back from the prayer vigil we got good news so maybe mr.

miller knew something the rest of us didn't. >> reporter: and back here at the search command center we can tell you that last night when that good news came in there was so much applause coming out of this building here and more good news right now, we're told those two little girls appear to be healthy this morning. david. >> that is good news. what a scare. just glad they're back. all right. amy robach tracking the other headlines overnight. and she's right here now. >> that's right, david. good morning. we begin with breaking news out of tennessee for the second straight day, word that a tanker truck has crashed and burst into flames. this time it happened near a bridge outside of nashville and there is concern right now that that bridge could collapse. just yesterday we reported on a different tanker explosion that leaked fuel into the nashville sewer system setting off several explosions, fortunately no one was seriously injured. and a new mystery this morning surrounding that malaysia airlines jet that vanished five months ago. and apparently crashed in the indian ocean. $35,000 have now disappeared

negative press. these guys playing this style of baseball and making everyone proud back home in the city. >> let's go, baby. >> reporter: and they have the support of the entire windy city behind them from pro ball players to everyday fans, even chicago mayor rahm emanuel attending watch parties across the land of lincoln. >> they're doing it. they're making an example. they're setting goals and they're reaching them and that's a positive. >> reporter: a pack of 13 inspiring a nation. >> it's very exciting. it's like a dream come true. the best moment in baseball ever for me. >> fantastic, and there is another inspiring story in the little league world series this year. that philadelphia girl who fires 70-mile-an-hour fastballs, mo'ne davis expected to pitch for her team this afternoon against the team from tennessee. that's on espn later today. this is some good ball playing. >> so much fun. i love pierce there.

>> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. on the stand pedro bravo seemed to have an answer for everything admitting that he was obsessed with his best buddy's girlfriend. that he made internet searches to for things like alibis and that he attacked his friend but he said the only person he intended to kill that night was himself. >> i feel like i'm going to regret the decision for the rest of my life. >> reporter: for the first time on thursday jurors hearing directly from the 20-year-old accused of murdering his best friend. >> did you have any malicious intent to kill christian aguilar? >> no. >> reporter: over an intense four hours pedro bravo sometimes rambling, often laughing nervously, as he testified about the sticky september night in 2012, prosecutors say he strangled christian aguilar in a fit of jealousy after learning that aguilar was dating his ex-high school sweetheart, erika friman. >> i was still very enamored

with her and i really wanted to get back with her. >> reporter: he testified he did get into a heated argument with aguilar. >> i strike him with my open palm in the face. and then i strike him again. >> reporter: but that he left aguilar alive. >> all i could tell is, he didn't get up right away but that he was still moving. >> reporter: bravo insisting the only life he planned to take that night was his own. even reading from his suicide note, he says he wrote it just after the fight. >> i'm sorry, there is no right way to explain why i'm doing this. >> reporter: but prosecutors say that note is all part of bravo's web of lies. alleging he killed aguilar in cold blood and buried his body in a shallow grave. >> the shovel that's been introduced into evidence, that is your shovel. >> yes. >> you bought it? >> yes. >> okay. you hid it? >> yes. >> reporter: but when confronted with the evidence against him, bravo seemingly danced around every word. >> chris admitted to you in the car he was dating erika, right.

>> he said he was going out with erika. >> oh. that's a -- there's a difference? >> reporter: even introducing a new twist about this jailhouse confession letter claiming inmates strong-armed him. and dictated every word. >> he basically say if you don't do this, then i'll just go get to your parents. >> reporter: now michelangelo was the cellmate that testified against bravo, saying he meticulously planned the murder down to the type of drugs to sedate him. pedro bravo has pleaded not guilty but today that jury may get the case. if they convict him he could face life in prison. robin. >> matt, thank you. legal analyst ryan smith for more on this. you never know if someone will take the stand. he decided to do so. why? >> he had to. because when you think about this case he actually provided a videotaped statement to police that was played in court. normally that's a defense attorney's dream because think about it this way, he gets to take the stand in the form of the videotape without being

cross-examined. what you want but had so many inconsistency, the evidence was piled up against him. he had to clear those up and really clear up his credibility. >> when we were all of us watching matt's piece and seeing him on the stand, pedro bravo, i saw your eyebrows go up a time or two. how did he do? >> from a legal perspective -- in this lawyer's opinion, awful, awful because you have to establish credibility and part of that is having consistent statements. so on the stand, he mentions what you saw in matt's piece and then this part about the letter, an inmate made him write that letter. did you punch him? did you get in a fight in the car or outside? all of these things he's had con politicking statements on and didn't do a good job clearing that up. the jury is who matters and the question is do they believe him but it looks all over the place. >> the question is, how does he get to reasonable doubt? >> only need one. that's the key.

we say that all the time. you only need one person on that jury to hang a jury or to convince others that he's innocent so one person has to buy his story hook line and sinker. if that happens you could see reasonable doubt. >> looks like we'll know soon because the jury could get it today. all right there. thank you, ryan. now, to a frightening story out of utah. the woman in critical condition after drinking sweet tea laced with an industrial cleaning chemical at a restaurant. this morning police investigating if it was intentional or an accident. abc's neal karlinsky with the story. >> reporter: 67-year-old jan harding is fighting for her life in this utah hospital after a simple sip of iced tea. >> she said, i think i just drank acid. >> reporter: in a "gma" exclusive the family is sharing the shock of something so unusual they don't quite understand it. >> the terror in her eyes and i looked down and said, i love you and she couldn't really even talk at that point. she just mouthed i love you too. >> reporter: police say harding got the iced tea at this dickey's barbecue pit and it shows a heavily toxic industrial cleaner was mixed in with the

ice tea in large quantities. the cleaner made up of sodium hydroxide or lye is known to cause severe burns to the mouth, throat and stomach if swallowed. >> it would burn the tissues in your mouth and down in your esophagus. >> reporter: police are interviewing employees and checking surveillance cameras, but say they now believe it was an accident. that the powdered cleaner may have been mixed in by an employee who mistook it for sugar. the restaurant part of a national chain said in a statement at this time we are fully involved in cooperating with all parties. >> we did contact the salt lake county health department after the incident took place and they said it was safe and did leave the restaurant open. >> if the people working in the restaurant industry could be made aware of the potential, the danger it's worth it. >> reporter: for "good morning america," neal karlinsky, abc news, los angeles. >> you see something like that.
