who survived for a long time in a very tough business and hopefully managed to retain a sense of humanity. that i think -- i think that's how i'd like to be remembered ♪ the way we became the brady bunch ♪ >> reporter: florence henderson was born on valentine's day 1934. the youngest of ten kids. she passed last night, thanksgiving night, 2016 reportedly of heart failure. she was, dan and paula, 82 years old. >> thank you, so true. she was the mother that a lot of people wish they had. >> absolutely. interesting that she said the mother she wished she had too. interesting. >> very profound. >> thank you, nick. we want to move to that stunning turn in the case of a missing california mom found on thanksgiving morning three weeks after she disappeared on an afternoon run. abc's kayna whitworth is on the scene in redding, california, for us this morning. good morning, kayna.

>> reporter: paula, good morning to you. so officials are borking on a very vague description as they search for the people responsible for sherri papini's abduction. they say they're looking for two hispanic women that they consider to be armed and dangerous driving a dark suv. this morning sherri papini home after a three-week ordeal. >> sherri is now safe and she has been treated at an area hospital for nonlife-threatening injuries. >> reporter: the mom of two held captive for nearly a month until authorities say she was freed by her captors early thanksgiving morning ending a desperate search. >> she was bound with restraints, but was able to summon from a passing -- help from a passing motorist. >> reporter: according to police the 34-year-old was found on the side of the road near sacramento nearly 150 miles from where authorities believe she was taken while out jogging near her northern california home. >> she could drop her phone but she would never in a million

years not pick up our children on a time that she normally would have. >> reporter: papini's disappearance dominating the headlines since her husband keith reported her missing on november 2nd. after she failed to pick up their children from day care using the find my iphone app the phone was located abandoned on the side of the road with her hair. keith was ruled out as a suspect after passing a polygraph test maintaining all along that he believed his wife had been abducted. >> i'm getting very angry and frustrated and i'm scared for my wife. >> reporter: friends and family frantically searching for the woman they referred to as super mom. authorities say they received more than 400 tips. an anonymous source even offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to her safe return. but nothing turned up until thursday. one family member writing on facebook, i don't know how we can repay our debt of gratitude to all of you. this is a thanksgiving beyond belief for all of us.

now, authorities are saying that sherri papini has been found but this starts a brand-new investigation. also, paula, we learned she has not yet seen her kids. she is with her husband so certainly a happy homecoming in around the corner. >> kayna, thank you. and shasta county sheriff tom bosenko joins us from redding. thank you very much for joining us. first and foremost how rare is it she was found 150 miles from home on a rural road that her abductors basically just release the captor? >> it is a very rare occurrence to have that happen. it's been three weeks since her disappearance and then find her and released by her captors i think is very rare. >> the suspects are still outstanding. want to ask you about them in a moment. what was her condition when she was found? i know she was bound but what was her state of mind? >> obviously very emotional. the california highway patrol

was able to connect her with her husband via cell phone and he immediately started responding down to the yellow county sacramento area and then, of course, she was very emotional to be released and hear her husband's voice and then a few hours later to be reunited with him. >> absolutely. it was a thanksgiving day miracle. do you have any idea how long she had been there before she was found, sheriff? >> it was very short amount of time. evidently one of the captors had dropped her off on a rural road near interstate 5 and an interchange. she was able to flag down a motorist and that motorist summoned emergency assistance from the highway patrol then medical responded, as well. >> you said one of the captors but right now you're looking for two hispanic women that are armed with a handgun driving a dark vehicle. do you believe that these women abducted her? >> yes, we do. we had received information from

ms. papini in regards to that and that was about three weeks ago that she was abducted on november 2nd. >> what type of information has sherri papini revealed and divulged about her alleged captors? >> we were able to receive -- spoke to her yesterday, investigators did, and was able to receive some limited information, obviously she was emotional and quite upset, but elated to be free and so we were able to get some information from her and then in the days following this we'll be following up with her. >> and we do know that she's stable. she's been released from the hospital right now but how confident are you that you will find sherri's perpetrators, sheriff? >> we hope that we can get additional information to identify them, maybe the suv and then hopefully they can be found and brought to justice. >> all right, shasta county sheriff tom bosenko, thank you for joining us. >> you bet, thank you. >> the sheriff saying they don't have a lot to go on but vocal

recognition. she didn't get a good look at them but vocal recognition. >> so many open questions in this story. we'll continue to cover it throughout the show. we want to turn to the trump transition. the president-elect spent thanksgiving with family but he did not take the whole day off. there are many critical cabinet posts yet to be filled. vacancies creating plenty of intrigue and controversy and abc's devin dwyer is covering it all from washington. >> reporter: after a wednesday night din weather family and friends, donald trump says he spent thanksgiving day hard at work tweeting trying to get carrier air conditioner company to stay in the u.s. making progress. will know soon. the company planned to lay off 1400 workers and move production to mexico. trump made stopping the deal a top campaign promise. >> believe me, if i were in office right now carrier would not be leaving indiana. that i can tell you. >> reporter: carrier confirmed in a statement it's had discussions with trump's team

but nothing to announce at this time. today the president-elect will get back to filling his cabinet considering candidates for key top posts. treasury, homeland security and veterans affairs all unfilled. secretary of state an inner frustrating in the trump camp over rudy giuliani and one of his harshest former critics mitt romney. kellyanne conway tweeting this, some trump loyalists warn against romney as secretary of state. general jim mattis, favored contender for secretary of defense. >> he is the real deal. >> reporter: with the flurry of cabinet moves, trump is spending less time than his predecessor on those daily intelligence briefings. the president-elect has had just two, a u.s. official tells abc news. vice president-elect mike pence said to have several more. they caution he has plenty of time to get up to speed. donald trump also faces a growing number of potential congressional investigations and abc news learned democrats have made at least nine separate

requests to review the trump transition's use of taxpayers money and conflict of interest. >> matt, there are warring camps in trump world, giuliani, romney, who do you think gets the nod or could it perhaps go to a third party? >> well, i think this whole romney for secretary of state thing has been a rather bizarre anyway -- this is a guy as you remember that called donald trump a phony, a fraud and a con and now he's interviewing for secretary of state in this. i don't think anybody knows. i think as you're right the power centers are pushing the establishment is i think pushing for mitt romney or somebody like mitt romney and then sort of loyalists to donald trump are pushing for rudy giuliani or somebody else they believe is loyal in this. i think the longer this goes on the more problematic it gets for donald trump. >> meanwhile, hillary clinton's lead in the popular vote keeps growing. it's at around 2 million votes and now green party candidate jill stein is calling for a

recount in several key states. do you think this effort is going to go anywhere? >> well, this continues to be such an historic thing. the idea that somebody wins a popular vote by plus 2 million and loses the electoral college overwhelmingly. as we watched football yesterday jill stein is throwing a flag, a challenge flag in this but she's not even the main participant in this game. as of right now there hasn't been real evidence but who knows what could get revealed over the next few weeks. >> telling that the clinton campaign has not weighed in on this. matt dowd, thank you very much as always for your analysis and analogies. paula, over to you. >> thank you very much. well, the doors have opened for one of the biggest shopping days of the year, black friday, millions already running as you can see taking advantage of the huge sales across the country. abc's rebecca jarvis joins us from a target in chicago with all of the details this morning. hi, rebecca. >> reporter: hey, good morning, paula. they opened their doors last night at 6:00 p.m. will stay open until tonight at

midnight. the top seller, tvs, they sold in the first hour of sales, 3200 of these every minute. >> zero, one -- >> here we go. >> whoo! >> reporter: the crowds were fierce and frenzied. overnight black friday super sales bringing out millions across the country. >> some people were starting to move pretty fast in here. we've got running. we have running. >> reporter: from this toys "r" us in lexington, kentucky, to the old navy in miami, florida. >> 50% off everything. you can't beat that. >> reporter: to the best buy in chicago, illinois, where lines were twice as long as last year. >> came in with a list. i knew what i wanted because i don't want to deal with the long line currently forming. >> two hours before we'll hand out tickets for all the really big items. >> reporter: this year shoppers are expected to spend $27 billion making it the second biggest shopping day of the year. so what exactly are people lining up for this year? what do you think will be the big sellers.

>> electronics always your top item, tvs, drones are taking off, no pun intended. >> reporter: but if you weren't among the crowds of turkey day shoppers there's still plenty of time to join the expected 137 million people who plan to shop over the holiday weekend. 75% of those shoppers will be out today for black friday deals. and as you can tell they still have a few tvs left. if you want the must have toy of the season these hatchimals, they still have a few left. going fast. let me know if you need me to pick some up for you but maybe a couple of tvs. thanks. joining us now on what's one of the busiest shopping days of the year is the ceo of macy's, terry lund aga lundgren. there is so much competition out there. much of it online so how are you getting people inside your stores? >> well, first of all, paula,

we're the third largest online company in america in our category, only behind amazon and walmart and getting our share there as well. if you saw the crowds that came in last night i was here at herald square when we opened at 5:00 p.m. and had 16,000 people continuously streaming into the building. i think they're coming for that tactile experience and getting their hands on great deals. >> so many that shop exclusively online, though, terry. for those that are planning on shopping online how can you lure them? what can you tell them? how can you convince them to come into the brick and mortar store. >> well, first of all, as i said we're so huge online it's a massive part of our business but that's not how the customers typically shop, paula. the truth is the average customer today starts with their phone, does their research, comes into a brick environment many and makes a decision, either buying it in the store or online so that omni chapel consumer is not just a consumer of today but definitely growing that way into the future, as

well. >> all right, terry, i know it's going to be a very busy day for you and all the other retailers, best of luck and stay safe. thanks, terry. >> thanks very much. >> stay safe? >> stay safe. you know what, you've seen the shoppers. they're running in to get those good deal there is that's true. speaking of safety, let's check the weather. i might not be safe after that comment actually. >> if you're driving -- some slick spots along interstate 80 and north of that and temperatures close to the freezing mark, be careful. a little messy. not quite as messy as portlandout side washington county, 2 to 5 inches of rainfall falling yesterday. more coming, a poe tent system coming into the west coast that will hit everybody from seattle awe the way down to san diego. could see mudslides and winds up to 50 miles an hour. snow above the 4,000-foot mark so be careful if you're traveling on the mountain passes and rain across the midsection on sunday. your weekendgetaways brought to you by macy's.

we'll start with the latest on that mom in california who vanished three weeks ago while on an afternoon jog. as we reported sherri papini has been found on thanksgiving morning tied up and left on a country road apparently after being released by her abductors. to have such a happy outcome after so long is very, very uncommon. and abc's kayna whitworth has more now on the story. >> reporter: she was found by the side of the highway in the early morning hours bound with restraints, 150 miles from her home. held captive for 22 days by unknown captors sherri papini was injured but alive. >> we are very ecstatic to report that sherri papini has been located. >> reporter: according to the fbi in 2015 there were nearly 85,000 missing persons in the u.s. only about 18,000 of them involuntary abducts but while sherri is one of the lucky few released after being gone several weeks this happy outcome is not unheard of.

>> help me. i'm amanda berry. i need police. >> okay, and what's going on there? >> i have been kidnapped and i've been missing for ten years. >> reporter: amanda berry and two other women escaping their kidnapper in 2013 after a decade of captivity in his cleveland, ohio, basement. or j.c. dugard was kidnapped near her home on the way to the school bus. >> it feels like you're losing control of everything. you just feel like the world is coming to an end. >> reporter: and elizabeth smart, who was held against her will for nine months at the age of 14 before she was finally recognized. just 18 miles from where she was first taken in 2002. as for papini, the battle is not over yet. police still searching for two armed women in connection with the case. for "good morning america," kayna whitworth, abc news, redding, california. >> kayna, thank you. for more let's bring in abc's

brad garrett. brad, good morning to you. in your view how rare is it exactly to have a victim released three weeks after being abducted? >> well, the reality, dan, is it's very rare. you provided some examples of women that survived but this is just an odd case from the beginning. you have a three-week abduction, then you have the victim placed on the side of a road by allegedly two females that were armed. this really goes, dan, to what was the motive of this kidnapping. >> so many open questions and as we heard earlier, the authorities are interviewing sherri papini. they're going to go back and talk to her again. what are they going to be trying to learn from her exactly? >> she's the most valuable resource because despite the fact she was held, what did she hear? what did she see? how can she describe where they held her? other voices, did she hear them talking on cell phones, particularly at the time she was dropped? can they track a cell phone and there may be forensic evidence

on her, clothing, et cetera, that could give them potential leads of bad guys. >> the authorities say they're looking for a dark van with two hispanic women, what do you make of that those details? >> we don't know what role the women played. were they the actual abductors or did they decide to take her from whatever location she was being held and drop her? so that's another sort of open question as to are they the main players or not? but, you know, this is a case i think will get solved. you're a rural remote part. the word will spread. if the sheriff, the fbi, et cetera, are good with social media, they're going to get the word out. they're going to catch these folk. >> brad garrett, as always we appreciate your analysis. thank you very much. reassuring to hear brad say he thinks it will be solved. >> very reassuring and as kayna reported she has reunited with her husband. has not seen her children. you can only imagine that will

bring it to you at an appointed time. 10:00 at night. whenever you are home. the key is you do not let packages stay at your front door. >> brad, thank you very much. somebody tries to take our packages our cats will cut them. >> you have mean cats. >> no, i was totally lying with all of the aforementioned. time to talk about the movies. a lot of big name titles opening up including "moana" from our parent company disney. here's a look at that. >> when you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting. i know, not every day you get a chance to meet your hero. >> you are not my hero. >> all right. joining us now "people" magazine's kate coyne. i got to ask, this is typically the time of year where studios release movies they anticipate will generate some sort of oscar buzz. what are you seeing? >> certainly it is all about "moana" at this moment.

the biggest film to hit the box office, possibly all year. it's going to be massive, even bigger than the rock himself. it's going to be huge. the other contender to that in terms of impact on the box office is "star wars" "rogue one" and geeks and nongeeks will be flocking to it, i think. in terms of oscar potential, however, you got to be looking at much quieter film, not your big, big blockbusters. i think a real front-runner at this point in one word is "fences." denzel washington's directorial debut and i'm just going to say it right now, viola davis just won her oscar. in heard it here. >> i've seen manchester by the sea and "moonlight" and they are incredible. >> i think they will get best picture nominations. i don't know if they'll win now that that category is so luge. they're in as nominees i think most definitely. >> quickly around the horn

humanity and complexity. >> what is the conversation that you all want people to have when they leave the theater after seeing this, barry? >> you know, for me i feel like people keep saying we don't see characters like shyrone represent us very often. before seeing it some people assume they can't relate to a character like that or to a person like that. i think after seeing this film they realize as we've been saying he's a human being. you know, so maybe, you know, you're having a bad day. that person is ahaving a bad day. talk to one another. empathize. >> i think so often in life, you know, we focus on the differences between us and here's a film that encourages us to see that actually we're more similar than we are dissimilar and that's really beautiful and i think it's a healing antidote we need this time more than ever. >> it's about empathy and understanding. just dove tail on what they were saying and we're just proud of this film. i feel like we made a good film and we just want opportunities to work on the same level as

other people, we don't get to tell these stories enough and to be part of an art film, something of this caliber and this type of offering is just a real gift for me, for all of us, but in terms of just the story itself it's about empathy. >> and i can't emphasize strongly enough how moving that movie is.
