gunpoint. congressman henry cuellar's office says three armed attackers approached him as he was parking his car near his home in the navy yard area. police have not said if the cars texas plates identified him as a member of congress. >> police were able to recover the stolen vehicle, but it's unclear if his luggage, ipad and phone were recovered. detectives overnight were still trying to track down the suspects. so far this year, 750 carjackings have been reported in washington, an an increase of more than 100% from last year. the other big story this morning, a nine year old missing in new york has been found safe in a cabinet inside a backyard camper. but several questions remain about the man now under arrest. this morning, the girl missing from a park near albany, new york, over the weekend is safe. and the suspect in her abduction is in custody. >> it's been a long two days, but tonight our prayers have been answered. on saturday, during a family trip at moreau lake state park, nine year old charlotte sena went for a bike ride and didn't come back.

>> her family found her bike, but no signs of charlotte police shut down the park, kicking off a nearly 48 hour search involving 400 search and rescue personnel. then early yesterday, a break in the case at charlotte's home. >> 4:20 a.m, a car pulls up to a mailbox. something is left state police immediately go to the mailbox and identify what is ransom note that had been left behind. >> police say they lifted a fingerprint from the note and ran it through a database. >> the hit came at 230 in the afternoon. there had been a dwi in 1999, in the city of saratoga, a crime from nearly 25 years ago helped identify the suspect. >> police following that lead to the home of the suspect's mother, 13 miles from charlotte's house. there they say they found 47 year old craig nelson. ross jr after some resistance, the suspect was taken into custody and

immediately the little girl was found in a cabinet. friends and family attending a vigil for charlotte last night cheered as they learned she was in good health and reunited with her family, who released a statement saying, we are thrilled that she is home and we understand that the outcome is not what every family gets. >> but shall we going home? that's the story. charlotte will be going home. police say the suspect is not a registered sex offender and there's no word on whether the suspect was known to the family. >> now to capitol hill and a rare move adding to the chaos in congress. >> congressman matt gaetz last night made a move that could result in house speaker kevin mccarthy being ousted from his leadership role. abc's justin finch explains what happens next. justin good morning. >> ryan and good morning. house members face a short deadline to decide whether to remove mccarthy as speaker. >> do you think your job is to allow this morning, house speaker kevin mccarthy faces an

gates's resolution within 48 hours, a vote could happen as soon as today. an attempt to remove a sitting house speaker has taken place only twice in us history. in 1910 and 2015. in both attempts, unsuccessful. if every democrat in the house votes to remove mccarthy, gates would need just four other republicans to remove him as speaker. >> it's unclear, however, whether congressman gates, who is part of a contingent of republicans who have been highly critical of speaker mccarthy, has the votes on his side to oust the speaker. >> some democrats could just vote present, lowering the threshold needed to remove the speaker while giving democrats some political cover. andrew >> all right, justin, thank you. hunter biden is expected to plead not guilty in a delaware courtroom today to felony gun charges. the president's son is accused of illegally buying a gun while he was using drugs. the special counsel overseeing the case could still seek other charges related to alleged tax

million. and while trump said mar a lago was worth up to $600 million, the state says its assessed value was no more than 27 million. >> as the attorney general's office says, trump inflated his net worth to get better terms on loans and on insurance. trump's lawyers say real estate values even square footage, are subjective and says the trump properties are mona lisa properties, suggesting their price less. >> the former president, using familiar language to describe yesterday's proceedings. >> so very simply put, it's a witch hunt. it's a disgrace. his son eric on fox news overnight, claiming the trial is designed to keep his father off the campaign trail. >> they want to have my father spend tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars so he's distracted so he can't be in south carolina and he can't be in iowa and he can't be in nevada. the former president is not expected to testify for several weeks. >> philadelphia police are searching for a killer after an lgbtq activist and journalist was found dead in his home early

says, was to expose by pretending to be a 15 year old girl online, then to lure and then expose suspects on a facebook page that has 12,000 followers. >> i think he felt that he this was this was his calling. he was he was going to do this no matter what. this is happening on my street. i have i have girls and i think that's something that that triggered him to doing this. >> but his calling apparently led to his killing friday night. lee was shot after confronting two men at a restaurant accusing one of being a. police later arresting the suspects ages 17 and 18. >> certainly he was a very well intentioned person, you know, very much in alignment with our philosophy. we want to see child predators taken off the street, held accountable. we want to protect kids. >> but confronting a without police, the sheriff does not condone it. >> oftentimes, if you actually corner a predator, sometimes

they become violent, they get trapped, they, you know, try to get away using any means at their fingertips. >> i just want people to know how kind he was. and he had such a good heart. officials say lee's work led to the arrest in criminal charges against several men, but they say he did mistakenly identify someone as a sexual predator in the past. >> now his work appears to have cost him his life. rihanna, andrew. >> all right, derek, thank you for that. coming up, the creative way. one driver avoided tolls on the highway. >> also ahead, a wake up call for parents. how a group of boys used artificial intelligence to digitally undress girls at digitally undress girls at school when it comes to your hair, ingredients matter. that's why herbal essences is packed with naturally derived plant ingredients you love, and none of the stuff you don't. our sulfate-free collections smell incredible...
