deciding when to take him. and they waited until he exited the car. at the time we didn't know her condition or anything else. but we didn't to want put her in jeopardy. >> as you alluded to, commissioner, so many law enforcement agencies working together. the public, the video, all that have coming together. and your department in philadelphia, you've had good results in using social media and getting video out as quickly as possible. >> oh, yeah. we do it all the time. we put stuff out on youtube as fast as we get it. we've had a very, very good success rate. and it really helped us out this case and probably saved this woman's life. had she remained with him, i don't know the outcome. >> we shuddered to think what could have happened in the video we were referring to. and she was fighting. and she kicked out the window of the car that she was abducted in. what does that tell you about her fighting spirit? >> my understanding is, even

detective jack for opening his heart to the two brothers who's lives he has changed forever. >> what a stunning example. >> thank you for bringing us thankful thursdays. >> people are bringing them to us. we want to say if someone you know is worthy of a "gma"-size thank you, go to goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo. tell us their story. we'd love to share it. it's lead up a special thanksgiving night.
