>> reporter: chris christie taunted trump over his refusal to debate. >> donald, i know you're watching. you can't help yourself. i know you're watching. okay. you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because of your indictments. you're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on this stage and defending your record. you're ducking these things. let me tell you what's gonna happen. you keep doing that, no one up here is going to call you donald trump. they're gonna call you donald duck. >> reporter: that was the only mention of trump's indictments. there was no mention whatsoever of this week's ruling by a new york judge that trump's company had committed widespread fraud. it was an unruly debate with the candidates often talking over each other. [ talking at the same time ] moderators repeatedly had to plead for the candidates to follow the rules. >> we cannot talk over each other. we must respect each other's time. >> reporter: business man vivek

donald trump will show up at any of these. >> i think we know what the answer might be. okay, jon karl, thank you very much. robin? breaking news overnight. army private travis king back on u.s. soil after spending weeks in north korean custody after he voluntarily crossed that border. king arrived overnight and will begin his reintegration process at a military base. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz joins us with those details. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning we are learning more about those behind the scenes negotiations that led to the release of travis king, who the north koreans basically kicked out of the country. overnight, army private travis king back on u.s. soil, emerging in the darkness from a military plane in san antonio. the 23-year-old soldier seen here in blue shirt and sneakers now in the custody of the u.s. army. being debriefed and medically evaluated at brook army medical center.

but he is said to be in good health and good spirits. a family spokes person saying king's mother was able to talk to king by phone soon after his release by the north koreans. >> she's overjoyed. she got to hear her son's voice and she was thrilled. just cannot emphasize enough what an impressive accomplishment. >> reporter: king's release had been secretly facilitated by sweden and china. north korea expelling king after saying he was illegally intruding into their territory. swedish officials then driving king from north korea across the border to china where he was met by the u.s. ambassador to china. then boarding a u.s. military aircraft, making a quick stop in south korea and then flying straight to texas. the u.s. saying the north koreans got nothing in return. >> we did not give them anything. we made no concessions in the part of securing his return.

>> reporter: but king's future is uncertain. the last image we saw of him was this one on the south korean side of the border. tall, back to the camera. he had joined a tour group at the dmz before suddenly and willingly bolting across the border into north korea. the army private had just been released from a south korean jail after an altercation with locals and was facing discharge from the army. his family telling us in august they had worried about his mental state, even before he fled to north korea. >> he just called and he said, i'm not the army soldier you want me to be. he kept screaming that out loud. then all of a sudden the phone hung up. >> reporter: now king could face even more trouble. >> he's been awol for over 60 days. i think the most likely option is private travis king will be administratively discharged from the army. >> reporter: but for now, the family feels only relief and joy. >> there's an air of celebration in that family tonight that a family member who they have been

worried about is safe. >> reporter: the army, too, is saying this morning that the focus is now on ensuring king's well-being and privacy, but adding that his status will be addressed at a later time by the chain of command. michael? >> all right. thank you so much, martha. going to go to washington and house republicans holding the first hearing of their impeachment inquiry into president biden this morning. terry moran is tracking this on capitol hill. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this morning at 10 a.m. in this hearing room has begun. 47 members on tha they will all be considering the question of whether biden accepted bribes or abused his public office in connection with hunter biden and his business dealings. it's a solemn moment. there's a problem. republicans have been digging for months for any direct, hard

evidence to back up their allegations, to connect joe biden personally to any money transfer or bank account or any other corrupt act that would prove these charges. to date they haven't found anything. that has led to a couple dozen of republicans breaking ranks and opposing this effort to impeach the president at the time. today as james comer gavelled that hearing to order, they will be hearing from three republican witnesses a forensic accountant, former justice department official and lawyer. they are basically going to lay out the theory of the case that republicans have. that these business dealings of hunter biden can be established to be connected to the president. democrats will be calling their own constitutional lawyer in rebuttal. one thing you can say, there will be plenty of partisan fireworks there. george? >> no question about that. >> no question about that. of course, this is unprecedented. first time we ever had an impeachment inquiry absent evidence. terry, thank you very much.

concerned about the border and want it to be improved, the border patrol and ice agencies have to continue to work for nothing. >> reporter: lawmakers will still collect checks from the $174,000 annual salary. but more than 4 million federal employees will not. including u.s. service members. austin terry's husband has been active duty in the army for 21 years. >> we mean nothing to them but they expect my husband to fight their wars. >> reporter: their 11-year-old daughter melanie has downs syndrome and recently suffered a catastrophic stroke. she relies on several drugs to keep her alive which can cost around $300 a month. >> the question has already been what can we get rid of? who can we borrow money from nor to do what we need to keep her alive. >> reporter: still some republicans have dismissed the impact of a short term shutdown. what do you say to military spouses who feel like congress is playing games with their lives?

>> first of all, they do get a pay check. it's back pay. most of what people will see is not a shutdown. what they will experience is a slowdown. >> reporter: we asked them what to tell the families who worry about making ends meet. is it a concern? >> it is a concern. let's talk about why it happened, living pay check to pay check. under the biden administration, bidenomics has worked for one family, the biden family. we control the purse strings, the house does, not the senate. if they're not going to secure the border it's off. >> reporter: this will be the first time in decades troops under the defense department would go unpaid. congress would have to pass a bill for personnel to receive pay checks during a shutdown, robin. >> all right, rachel. thank you. now that breaking news overnight and the murder of a tech ceo. police tracked down the suspect who has a long criminal history. stephanie ramos is here with the latest. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: robin, good morning. this guy has a really long rap

colorado authorities say they've located the remains of suzanne morphew, the mom who mysteriously disappeared three years ago on mother's day. investigators say they made the discovery around 45 miles south of morphew's home while they were working on an unrelated case, not revealing the exact location or state of the remains. the 49-year-old vanished after her family said she went for a bike ride in may of 2020. body camera capturing the moment sheriff deputies discovered her bike on the side of the road in a wooded area near the family home. her husband, barry morphew was initially charged with first degree murder and tampering with evidence, but those charges were dropped just before his trial. he and his daughters speaking exclusively to abc news earlier this year. what have these last three years been like for you? >> just so traumatic. like, literally, our worst nightmare.

>> reporter: did you have anything to do with the disappearance of your wife? >> absolutely not. it's very hurtful to lose your reputation and your integrity. >> reporter: barry, filing a $15 million civil suit against prosecutors and local law enforcement saying he was unjustly targeted. but prosecutors at the time saying they didn't drop the charges because they believed barry was innocent. they wanted time to gather more evidence and thought they were close to finding suzanne's body. authorities also previously telling abc news barry morphew is still a suspect in his wife's disappearance an they aren't ruling out future charges. law enforcement, the da's believed they had their guy. they believe there's a mountain of evidence against you. there's just not suzanne's body. >> they're wrong. they've got tunnel vision. they looked at one person and they've got too much pride to say they're wrong and look somewhere else.

>> reporter: these charges were dropped without prejudice which means if authorities feel like there's more evidence, they could charge you again. do you live with fear of that? >> i was innocent the first time they arrested me. i'm sure it's possible. i don't have anything to worry about. i have done nothing wrong. >> reporter: overnight barry morphew's attorney telling abc news after the discovery of suzanne, barry is with his daughters and they are struggling with immense shock and brief adding they hope authorities will admit their wrongful persecution of barry to treat the morphew's like the victims they are. and charge the persons responsible for suzanne's killing. law enforcement sources confirm barry morphew is still a suspect in his wife's death. guys? >> thank you very much, arielle. for more let's bring in dan abrams. could this discovery potentially change the case against suzanne morphew's husband, the case that was dismissed in 2022? >> absolutely.

the question is, which way does it change it? it could change it one way or the other based on exactly what they find. now remember, the authorities are being tight lipped here about exactly what they found and how they found it. and that's because they believe this could be critical piece of evidence in connection with this investigation. think about something like cell phone data which becomes a very important potential piece of evidence. where the body was found then becomes critical. >> i know you want to make clear that double jeopardy is not a concern. he could be charged again, as you've been saying. double jeopardy is not in play here. >> right. he could absolutely be charged again. but remember there were problems with the prosecution's case. there were problems in terms of evidence that they weren't turning over, and there were other evidence that could potentially help his case. those problems could still exist here if they decided to charge him again.

that could fundamentally change the case. it doesn't start you from scratch. the issues that existed before potentially could exist again but this is a critical finding. >> the husband is actually suing prosecutors in a civil case for $15 million. what's going on with that case? >> well, that case is, in theory, going to move forward. remember, he's basically taken the position that, i'm not just gonna go away here. he's filed a lawsuit which would lead to discovery. which would lead to both sides being able to get access to evidence, etc. so to some degree, regardless of what the authorities do, that civil lawsuit may move forward. and again, from his position, he may say, we think that the discovery of the remains could actually help our case. we shall see.

this could be a game changer in terms of this investigation one way or the other. >> as you said, dan, we shall see. thank you very much for your expertise. we always appreciate having you. we're going to turn to our abc news exclusive. incredible come back of ryan feltner. colorado rockies pitcher is back on the field four months after a line drive hit him in the head. he spoke to whit johnson about his journey back to the mound. good morning, whit. >> reporter: michael, good morning. ryan feltner feared he would never play baseball again but said it was his faith and family that lifted him up and helped him through the biggest obstacle he has ever faced. >> there's one or two ways it could have gone. i didn't want it to go in a negative direction. >> reporter: a remarkable come back four months in the making. >> this presents the biggest challenge that i have ever had. >> reporter: colorado rockies pitcher ryan feltner speaking out for the first time since returning to the field after this devastating injury. >> line drive. oh, it hit feltner.

same type of material used to protect hitters' elbows and chins. >> that was a great return for ryan feltner. >> reporter: feltner said he is grateful for the outpouring of support. and a fresh perspective on what matters most. did you feel like this moment in your life was bigger than baseball? >> 100%. i think one of the reasons i wanted to come back was for the story, when you come back after they said you weren't able to play again. it switches things up for you. i'm grateful for every day. >> reporter: during his recovery, feltner turned to abstract painting to help him focus and improve his mental health. feltner was also able to start a second game this week and hasn't ruled out another appearance before the end of the season. guys? >> incredible recovery there. thank you for sharing that with us, whit. appreciate it. >> coming up next, bruce springsteen postponed his tour for the rest of the year because of health issues. we'll let you know what we know about his condition this morning.

acquisitions for gen. z. how do you recommend i pitch myself and company to brands that may not think gen z's are not core customer based or may not be as savvy? >> good question. >> that is a good question. i always think it's important whenever you're selling anything to have one simple sentence that explains, what is gen. z? who are they? why are they important? they're the zoomers, right? they're important. and they're buyer. i think that if you have that strong sentence then you should think about, what is it about you, your unique selling proposition that is different than anybody else? you've got to stand out, be unique. why are you going to be the person they should hire? and i think always be passionate about your business and know everything. it's infectious. if you're confident, they are, too. >> just showed that company. what's worked for you? companies want to copy what's worked for other companies. >> that's true. our next question comes from ralph in phoenix. he asked, is hiring a content

creator smart? first tell us what a content creator is. >> it's somebody talking about your company, your customer. when you're a small business, that has to be you. when you're an entrepreneur that just created a business, you have to eat, sleep and breathe your company and just be excited to post everything that's happening. you can't hire somebody to do that. >> just to jump in, i think it's not a good spend of money. in the beginning just watch what attracts you. what works for you? it's intuitive. then start to copy what they're doing 'cause it will work for you as well. so what is it that makes you click, stop, like, whatever? do the same thing. >> use yourself. i like that. >> if this isn't your baby that you love so much, company is not gonna work. >> okay. we got another video. this one comes from jenny from stockbridge, massachusetts.

>> how much should a startup or young business invest in advertising. is there a dollar amount or percentage we should be aiming for? >> that's a hard question. >> you go first. >> the best company, you don't spend any money on advertising because your customers are doing the selling for you. if that doesn't happen, then you want to start small and experiment what works. if you spend all your money on advertising, if it doesn't work, you're out of business. >> you don't have to spend money on advertising any more. social media is the best invention for advertising. it's free. you can do it on different platforms. you can do it on all platforms. all it takes is a little bit of time, creativity and a cell phone. i would spend nothing in the beginning. >> lori, one quick yes or no answer. lot of dancing on the show.

customization business out of my desk in the 3rd grade. i also got suspended because i painted all over my desk. i also wasn't supposed to be running a business but it was profitable. [ laughter ] actually the inspiration for the circus surprise were the magic shows that i used to do with my brother. kids are so imagiimagination. it encourages care givers not to play for kids, but set up play. say, let's have a circus. right? what would costumes look like? how are you going to do the clown makeup? they have to be creative. it's like all day play instead of just 30 minutes. >> i'm seeing my mom right now. she would always do something like that. she'd always put it back on us. how are we going to do this? you are a mother of three. >> i am. >> any of their adventures going to make it into the series? >> it is inspired by my three kids. i have a 24-year-old, 20-year-old an 11-year-old. we used to do things like lemonade stands, cup cake stands. we would do it in a way that i would say, how can we make this different?

what is the cost to start it? how do we charge? you don't realize but you are teaching children by principles just by having tiny businesses. so many little girls are making friendship bracelets now. make them and sell them at the farmer's market. >> that's something you learn in the book. what else do you hope kids take away from the story? >> there's a lot of kids that have a lot of energy. i was one of though kids. for kids, also care givers who go, i don't know what to do with this kid. that was me. my mother would direct our play and then say, go play and then we'd figure it out. >> i know you read a lot of different books. what children's characters that stood out to you to this day? >> that's such a good question. i loved reading my grandma was a kindergarten teacher so she taught me to read. amelia bedelia was a big one.

i don't even know if anybody remembers that. encyclopedia brown. >> oh, yeah. >> right. >> he was in that southern town, little country. i loved that. rona quinnby. of course, she was the spirited misfit character. i like that kids don't have to be perfect. we don't have to look perfect. she wears her brother's hand me downs, which is what idy growing up. we have this, you know, idea that kids just can be as creative as they want to be. >> i love her big glasses. >> i had huge glasses, y'all. >> really? >> we could have brought some throw back pictures. >> i have one on the back of the book. yeah. see. >> aw. >> look. so precious. >> aw, thanks. >> was that a little tutu? >> yes. i was a handful. it all worked out, but my mother, i'm sure, wanted to tear her hair out. >> classic. >> look. i got the bangs again. >> you look so entrepreneurial. so inspiring what you've done. it's in your nature, as we can see now.
