7-year-old delila and her 12-year-old sister fannie were working their family's vegetable stand near oswegatchie and a vehicle pulled up and took the girls then a shocker, more than 24 hours later, authorities say the alleged captors set the girls free 30 miles away from home on this street in richville in the rain. cold, wet, barefoot and starving the children knocked on the first door they could find. jeff and family simpson opened up that door. >> they were really squared. >> i knew instantly it had to be the ones that were missing. >> reporter: they say they helped care for the girl, feeding them. >> they ate watermelon in 30 seconds. >> he says immediately they all jumped into the car and went straight home. >> the girls just ran right in the house straight to their parents and then their father came out and shook our hands. >> reporter: this morning charging documents allege howell and vasey planned to inflict physical injury. >> the team was able to interview the children and the

committing serious academic violations allegedly. when the fighting irish practice this week there was no indication that the school whose name is practically synonymous with big-time college football was about to be rocked. four of its best players under investigation for suspected academic cheating. >> integrity is at the heart of our mission as a university. academic dishonesty strikes at that heart. >> reporter: the four players would be benched pending the investigation by the school it was reported. on friday notre dame it says it uncovered evidence that the players had someone else do their schoolwork for them. >> if this turns out to be just a group of players on their own trying to get by in a class or two to stay eligible as opposed to some sort of systemic cheating then it's much more of an institutional issue than an ncaa issue. >> it would not just affect the

four players but the entire football program. which just two years ago went n undefeated in the regular season and to the national championship game. notre dame now says it will voluntarily forfeit all of the games it won with the four players on the field if ultimately they are found to have cheated. >> academics will come first and won't be afraid to bite the bullet and take a significant hit on this. >> reporter: although the college's internal investigation is continuing, no one has been suspended yet. >> obviously notre dame fans would love to have this resolved by august 30th against rice. i don't think that's very likely. >> the irony here is notre dame is a stellar reputation for academic achievement boasting one of the highest graduation rates in the country. that threatened by potentially the biggest cheating involving notre dame athletes in its storied history. see how it plays out. >> so much pride. >> they seem intense on

maintaining it. ron, thank you. now to the once and potentially future presidential candidate embroiled in what could be the fight of his life this morning. rick perry, the powerful governor of texas has been indicted overnight. will this case mar his legacy and spoil a potential run for the white house in 2016? abc's jeff zeleny is on the story in washington this morning. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. governor rick perry has made recent headlines with his tough talk on immigration but it's the hardball politics of texas now at the center of a felony case against him. rick perry's second act was well under way. another white house bid believed to be just around the corner. but this morning he's charged with two felony counts in texas. >> the grand jury today returned a two-count indictment against him. >> reporter: count one abuse of power. count two, coercing a public official. the charges stem from his decision to veto funding for the state's public integrity unit which investigates public

corruption. a district attorney in the unit was arrested for drunking driving and belligerent conduct. he wanted her out but she refused to step down but prosecutors say his conduct ammed to intimidation. >> i tooook into account the fa we're talking about a governor but when it gets down to it the law is the law. >> reporter: overnight his attorney called the charges outrageous and appalling saying "this clearly represents political abuse of the court system and there's no legal basis in this decision." it may be a difficult legal case to prove, lawyers tell abc news, but the indictment presents fresh political trouble. his rehabilitation tour was going strong. it's been nearly three years since this. >> commerce and let's see -- i can't -- the third one i can't, sorry. oops. >> when we caught up with him in iowa he was looking ahead with optimism. >> how tough is it to make a second impression. >> second chances is what america has always been about.

>> reporter: he may be asking for a third chance. he was scheduled to visit new hampshire next week but now faces arraignment at the county courthouse in austin just blocks from the governor's mansion. democrats are calling for him to resign, republicans, though, say it's a partisan witch hunt. dan and paula. >> extraordinary turn of events. top stories we head back to ron. >> we'll begin overseas where there is breaking news. u.s. warplanes carrying out air strikes in northern iraq near a strategic dam controlled by isis. the concern has been that isis would open the blofloodgates ofe damn that could water rushing as far south as baghdad 200 miles away. back here in this country a raging fire in north hollywood in california. flames bursting through in restaurant supply building friday night, 118 firefighters battling the massive blaze. one firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion. the cause of that fire is under investigation.

for "good morning america," matt gutman, abc news gainesville, florida. >> the case is gruesome and very sad. let's bring in abc news legal analyst ryan smith this morning. ryan, good morning. thanks for coming in. were you surprised at how speedy the verdict was. >> i was not. not when you have a mountain of evidence against you like pedro bravo did. they had video of him picking a murder starter kick, duct tape and shovels. and not only that, dna evidence and blood evidence in that car. that stacked up against him and made imalmost impossible for an acquittal. >> what was the strategy behind him taking the stand. >> you had to. he had to take the stand because he actually gave a police interview beforehand where he explained what happened for hours. typically that's a dream for the defense because there's your story in court and you're not getting cross-examined but he had so many inconsistencies, so

many things that didn't match up he had to get on the stand and explain himself again and offer explanations to those inconsistencies and he did a terrible job. he laughed of the he was uncomfortable and in so many ways he made it even more confusing. when that happens the jury doesn't find you credible. they can't buy your story and in that way, he stuck with what he says on the stand and this those tapes. >> ryan, we appreciate your analysis this morning. thank you. important case now wrapped up. a lot of other news overnight and let's get back to ron for another look at the morning headlines. >> hi again dan and paula. good morning, everyone. overnight the shaky calm in ferguson, missouri, shattered by renewed violence and looting. protesters blocking streets, officers responding with smoke many bos. this coming hours after the identity of the police officer who fatally shot unarmed teenager michael brown was revealed. ferguson's police chief disclosed the identity of officer darren wilson, a veteran officer after a week of mounting pressure to say publicly who shot brown. and serious legal charges lodged against texas governor rick perry. a grand jury in texas indicted
