My daughter alexis. A teenager in tears allegedly snatched from the hospital when she was only 8 hours old. 18 years later, her birth family brokenhearted but never giving up hope. I have been praying and praying for this day. How she was finally found. And to the rescue. A state trooper ambushed. Two motorists stopping to help. This is a civilian shot. Hes on i10. Hes in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please. One driver using his own gun to shoot the suspect. The officer lucky to be alive this morning. Hey, good morning on a saturday when weve got several political firestorms brewing in washington and a major ice storm hitting the plains. Yes, i guess the theme this morning is storms. The latest on the trump transition coming up. But we start with the weather. We want you to look at this map. Over 20 million americans are in the nations midsection dealing with another powerful winter storm, which is forecast to bring significant ice across the region. Check out this instagram video. A driver in missouri trying to when he finally gets in the vehicle, it starts sliding backward down the driveway. We should say that some people are having fun with the ice. This slow motion video shows a child jumping on a frozen trampoline in missouri. It looks like something that would happen in paula faris backyard. Probably. Kids always find a way to see the positive in every situation but we want to take the situation seriously because its dangerous. States of emergency have been declared in several states where theyre dealing with downed power lines and fatal car wrecks and forecasters say that the worst is yet to come. Rob is standing by in colorado. But lets kick things off with abcs Adrienne Bankert who is in wichita, kansas. Adrienne, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Good morning, paula. Wichita specifically, as well as the state of kansas bracing for some of that ice that youre talking about. They have the plows and the salt trucks ready, but things got pretty dangerous when there was freezing rain that hit last night. Overnight, millions of americans from the Southern Plains to the midatlantic impacted by a deadly winter storm leading to treacherous conditions. The freezing rain and ice causing a 20plus car Chain Reaction pileup in wichita, kansas. I could just see every single car that was coming to hit me and my air bag deployed and my head got whacked on the Steering Wheel like five times. Reporter watch as this snowplow in utah loses control as a flatbed trailer attempts to pass on the right, clipping the 70,000pound vehicle. The plow driver swerving into the opposite lane slamming into the guardrail plummeting 300 feet. Thankfully, the driver will be okay. Hes bruised up a little bit. Hes real sore. I talked to him this morning. Reporter and on a st. Louis highway, ice sending this black suv fishtailing before doing a complete 180 barely missing other drivers. Ice forming on cars so thick, it creates a solid barrier on these windows. Concerns about Power Outages increasing. An inch of ice can add more than 750 pounds of extra weight to a 300foot power line. That heavy ice upending and snapping trees in illinois. Branches smashing car windows. And because of the ice many event, activities have been postponed through the weekend. Church services across the area have been canceled. Crews will be out later today putting a mixture of brine and organic beet juice on the roadways. Its been proven to melt the ice a lot faster and keep the salt stuck to the roadways but officialing are asking everyone to stay off the roads and stay home. Paul l. A. Thats an interesting combination there. Adrienne sounds like a base for a fancy cocktail. Or some sort of shake you would like. All right, adrienne, thank you. As we said, this storm is far from over, so we want to get it out to rob, who happens to be in steamboat springs, colorado, for us this morning where hes tracking it all. Rob, good morning to you. Reporter hey, good morning, paul l. A. We are getting the northern fringe of this midwest ice storm in the form of snow here in northern colorado. But, unfortunately, this is a multiday event for the central u. S. Warnings posted from oklahoma city, st. Louis, kansas city and advisories all the way to d. C. And virginia. You see the eastern reaches of this storm, slick over there but the main event is certainly across the Central Plains and by tomorrow morning were looking for icing in wichita, icing in kansas city and through st. Louis and then sel warming up at some point tomorrow afternoon and sunday night but until that happens, we are looking at accumulating ice, slick roads, downed tries and Power Outages for sure. Up to an inch in kansas and oklahoma and maybe that much in st. Louis, as well. Dan. Rob, thank you. To politics now and a series of new developments on the russia front. Late friday top senators announced they will be investigating possible contacts between Donald Trumps campaign and russia. This as new questions surface about why the president elects National Security adviser has been in frequent contact with russias ambassador to the u. S. In recent weeks. Abcs Gloria Rivera is covering it all from washington. Gloria, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. This is a fastmoving investigation. Now the key concern here is whether or not repeated contact between a highranking trump adviser and russia indicates the trump team somehow discussed or even helped shape russias response to those sanctions president obama imposed after u. S. Intelligence officials determined Vladimir Putin ordered a hacking operation into the election. This morning, the Republicanled Senate Intelligence Committee launching an investigation into alleged links between russia and Donald Trumps president ial campaign. The probe beginning just six days before Trump Takes Office and as new details emerge about Incoming Trump National Security adviser Michael Flynns contact with the russian government. Flynn seen seated next to russian president Vladimir Putin during a dinner for the russian tv station rt back in 2015. The trump team confirming flynn texted with the Russian Ambassador on christmas day. Four days later they spoke by phone, the same day the Obama Administration imposed sanctions for hacking and expelled 35 russian diplomats. Trump Spokesman Sean Spicer tells abc news the Russian Ambassador invited flynn to attend syrian peace talks, which the Obama Administration has been excluded from. The fact that the designated National Security adviser who has his own relationship with the russian government was in touch with the Russian Ambassador to the united states, i can understand why that was the subject of a column in the newspaper. Reporter the Russian Embassy wont comment on the phone call but confirms the ambassador will be attending trumps inauguration according to the practice and protocol rules. Meantime, on capitol hill, fbi director james comey taking heat from democrats who after meeting with comey say he hasnt done enough to investigate trumps alleged russian ties. All i can tell you is the fbi director has no credibility. Thats it. Reporter comey has been criticized for speaking publicly about the Hillary Clinton email investigation days before the november election while staying silent about any inquiries into trump. In a public forum we never confirm or deny a pending investigation. Im not saying the irony of your making that statement here i cannot avoid. Reporter comey now promising to cooperate fully with an investigation into his handling of that case. The investigation will really try to hone in and determine whether or not comey broke with Justice Department policy by commenting so publicly on the investigation so close to the election. Meanwhile, the wall street Journal Editorial Board is calling for comey to resign. If he refuses, it says that president elect donald trump should fire him. Paula, dan. All right, gloria, thank you, and with just six days to go with just six days to go until the inauguration, there are plenty of other big stories cooking in washington right now. Including a major move by Congress Taking the first steps towards repealing obamacare and abcs mary bruce is in our washington bureau, as well. Mary, how close is congress to making this actually happen . Reporter well, this morning republicans are at least one step closer to fulfilling their pledge to dismantle obamacare, but they still dont have a plan to replace it. Now, the president elect has said he wants to do this very quickly, and the House Speaker says republicans will move to repeal and replace in the first 100 days, but there is still a long road and a big fight ahead. 20 million americans have coverage under obamacare and republicans say they dont want them to feel like theyre having the rug pulled out from under them, but as they move towards that repeal, they still havent agreed on what comes next. Yeah, thats a big fight thats on tap right now, mary. Also this morning, were learning that one top democrat, john lewis, plans to sit out the inauguration. What can you tell us about that . Reporter yeah, the civil rights icon, congressman john lewis, says he will not attend the inauguration because he says he does not believe donald trump is the legitimate president. Lewis says he thinks the russians helped trump get elected and helped to destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, so for the first time in his career, lewis says hes going to skip next weeks festivities. And also some interesting on camera comments from donald trump himself. He spoke about the fact that his cabinet nominees have been breaking with him publicly on some major policy issues during their confirmation hearings, so what exactly is he saying about this . Reporter yeah, remember, just six days till hes sworn in as president , and already were seeing some real distance between trumps nominees and their potential future boss. His picks for defense secretary and cia director, for instance, are taking a much tougher stance on russia. But now trump is responding. He says he wants members of his cabinet to be themselves, adding that sometimes they may be right, sometimes he may be right. And thats the big x factor here, just how much will trump follow the advice of his own cabinet. Dan and paula. Big x factor, a lot of questions and just six days until the inauguration. Mary, its always great to have you on the show. Thank you. And we do want to turn now to a truly remarkable story. A baby allegedly snatched from the hospital 18 years ago has been found alive. The child, shes now a teenager, and the woman who raised her now behind bars, but as you can imagine, there are some complicated emotions, and eva pilgrim is covering the story for us this morning. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, paula. For one family its the day they only dreamed of. But for another, a lot of confusion. The teen suspected recently that something was up, but nothing could prepare her for what she found out. An extremely emotional moment inside a South Carolina courtroom as this teenage girl is separated from the only mother shes ever known. This morning a family to be reunited 18 years after a baby was kidnapped from a florida hospital. And i have been praying and praying for this day. Its been 18 years. I cant wait no longer. Reporter that baby now a teenager, and this morning the woman who abducted her being held without bond in a South Carolina jail where an anonymous tip led cops to the now 18yearold girl. In South Carolina we found an 18yearold young woman with the same date of birth but a different name. So further investigation revealed that fraudulent documents had been used to establish that young womans identity. Reporter the case grabbing National Attention in 1998 even featured on an episode of americas most wanted. I just want to know where my baby is at. I just want my baby back. Reporter named Kamiyah Mobley by her birth parents, police launched an allout search for the infant last seen in baby diapers wrapped in a pink and blue blanket. Only eight hours old when police say she was snatched from the hospital. The baby taken from the arms of her mother by a mysterious woman who told the family she was a nurse, all while telling nurses and staff she was part of the family. I cant believe what i was hearing, what i seen. I feel so strongly that miya is alive out there. Miya is alive and somebody is raising her like their own. Reporter a grandmothers hunch confirmed. Police say 51yearold Gloria Williams changed kamiyahs name and raised her as her own. During williams First Court Appearance on friday, the teen identifying herself by the name williams allegedly gave her. Im her daughter alexis. Reporter openly sobbing seeing the woman now accused of snatching her from her biological mother now behind bars. Okay. I love you. And alexis has facetimed with her biological parents. They are hoping to see her later today. It has to be so confusing for her. Eva, thank you. That whole time they were just separated by a couple of hours. Just several hours just straight up 95. Oh, eva, thank you. You can imagine complicated emotions. Abc news consultant brad garrett, a former fbi agent joins us from washington right now. Brad, good morning to you and thanks for joining us. First and foremost, how rare is a case like this . Its pretty rare, paula. 308 infant abductions since 1983. Think about this. All but 12 have been solved. Its been my experience that within a few hours or days these children are usually found. Does this show that it is possible to solve a case like this even 18 years after the fact . Yes, and, dan, heres the real key. Ive worked a lot of cold cases that have gone on for years. You have to bring them back in the publics eye, and i think thats what the cops continued to do in jacksonville, florida, they get the tip, they go to the small town in South Carolina and as the chief described were able to identify this as the abduction from 18 years ago. Pretty remarkable. As you heard in that piece, this was also part of americas most wanted, so they kept this story and this investigation open pretty much the entirety of the time that she was missing. Brad, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Yeah, thank you, brad. And a lot of other news this morning and for that as always we kick it over to dr. Ron claiborne. Good morning, sir. Good morning to you, dan and paula, diane, good morning to you. Good morning, everyone. Were going to begin with a scathing report about Police Misconduct in chicago. The department of justice saying the nations second Largest Police force has a longrunning pattern of civil rights abuses, racial bias and Excessive Force aimed primarily at africanamericans and latinos. The Justice Departments yearlong probe was prompted by the release of this dash cam video showing a white Police Officer shooting a black teen 16 times. Chicagos Police Commissioner now promising changes. And the Justice Department also bringing criminal charges against three executives of the japanese auto parts maker takata. Theyre accused of faking test data to hide defects in millions of air bags setting off the largest automotive recall in u. S. History. Takata is also being fined a billion dollars for providing false data. And in South Carolina federal officials closing their case against a School Officer seen on a video slamming a female student to the floor. Prosecutors saying theres not enough evidence to charge the man with civil rights violations. That officer was fired two days after that incident back in 2015. And in washington a controversial painting depicting Police Officers as pigs be taken down from the capitol for good. The painting, which is part of a High School Art event, was found to have violated the art competitions rules. It has spawned a weeklong discussion between those who see it as an example of freedom of expression and those who thought it was offensive. And in utah, security cameras show a car thief as he takes off knocking a woman, the driver, to the ground and driving off with her kids in the backseat. Fortunately the suspect dropped off the children, a 3yearold and an infant, in a nearby parking lot where they were found unarmed. The car and the thief, they are gone. And finally a library in San Francisco has had an overdue book returned, imagine this, 100 years late. The great grandchildren of phoebe webb who checked out the book of short stories in 1917 found it in a trunk where it had been stored for decades and they say she probably intended to take it back but she died and no one noticed it among her belongings. Under a Library Amnesty program, no fine was assessed. I think the fine would have been Something Like 2,000 bucks at 5 cents a day. 5 cents a day, carry the 1. They let it go. Did you do the math . Doing the math, yeah. Right now exactly it was about 1,800, 1,900 theoretically. They let it go. Allegedly. Great story. Allegedly. You just reminded me i have a bunch of overdue books. Not 100 years. Nor is the fine 2,000. Make your kids return them at some point. I will or i can have you do it, ron. Thanks very much, ron. Lets check back in with rob still in steamboat springs, colorado, not in new york city. We miss you, please come back soon. Im here at the summit continuing my education and keeping the credits and doing Field Research in going out in five feet of snow for the month of january. Did that with the ski patrol into the back country. Skull and cross bones there, a little intimidating but was in great hands and made amazing fresh powder turns, fish creek canyon, beautiful landscape in the back country where the snow should be. This is where the snow should not be an its across western oregon, portland still a frozen tundra for the past week and some spots over a foot of snow and weve got problems not just with that but the quick melt thats going to happen and the rainfall with the next couple of storms coming in and one includes another atmospheric river, dense moisture pointed towards the Pacific Northwest in where the snow s. A lot of rain on top of rapidly melting snow and flood advisories and special weather statements across the valleys of western oregon and Northern California for the potential of more flooding, mudslides and landslides. The center of the storm in california will kick into the plains. This is whats causing the front side of the ice. Tomorrow in texas i think well see i threat for severe weather, hail good saturday morning. Im meteorologist lisa ar gin. The clear sky. We have a little fog in the north bay valleys.

So many comments to make there but ill hold them until we run the piece. Thank you, robert. I dont know whats cuter, rob or the dogs. Maybe both of them. You be the judge. There you go. You know what were still thinking about, that emotional moment this week for the Vice President , joe biden, when the president awarded him the medal of freedom. Now, biden spoke about it for the first time on the view yesterday. He shared with us just how shocked he was. I started to walk out, and there were military lined up on one side, and they said, no, the other side. And i thought, well, maybe they want me walking out through the military, and then when that guy came up with the medal, i thought, who the hell is this for . Hes been extremely generous. Such an emotional moment. He said he was completely caught off guard. He thought that he was going there for a champagne toast, and then he walked in, and he saw his friends and his family and quite a surprise. So completely. Yeah, you could really tell he was caught by surprise and incredibly moved. Yeah, and you know what really struck me, i mean, joe got a standing ovation from the audience. I mean it probably cut into four minutes of the time that we could have spoken with him. People just connect with him and hes able to connect with voters and people on such a human level that you dont really see an everyday politics. He looks in your eye. Hes able i dont know. Maybe thats just his roots, his blue collar roots or what it is, but its something we dont see from politicians. And youre not going to see him riding off into the sunset. He joked about 2020. He said never say never. It might be me and john kerry pushing our little rollers. Hes been making some pretty mysterious comments about running for president. Well see. I dont think youll see him fade out, but hell be active in Cancer Research because he lost his son beau. Great moment there. Really was.

First well talk about the men they are calling heroes for swooping in to save a Police Officer in distress. One used his own gun to kill the suspect who was tussling with the wounded officer following what authorities are calling an ambush attack, and abcs Neal Karlinsky has all the details for us this morning from our los angeles bureau. Hi, neal. Reporter paula, dan, good morning. Just imagine driving down a dark highway at 4 00 a. M. And seeing a man attacking a state trooper. Most people might call 911 but wouldnt pull over and get out of their cars. In this case, two motorists did risking their own lives to help him. Officer down, officer down. Outside tonopah. Reporter professional as it sounds that voice calling into distach isnt a Police Officer but one of two random motorists Arizona Police are calling heroes this morning for saving the life of state trooper ed anderson. This is a civilian. Hes shot on i10. Hes in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter please. Reporter it was just after 4 00 a. M. Thursday in a rural area along arizonas i10 when trooper anderson came upon a rollover crash while responding to a call of shots fired. While he was putting flares down in the road, police say he was ambushed and shot at least once. The suspect then got on top of him and started beating him. Thats when the first of two motorists pulled over to see what was happening. The trooper says, please help me and asked the uninvolved third party for help. Reporter police say that unidentified motorist ran back to his car, got his own gun and told the man attacking trooper anderson to stop. The suspect refuses, the uninvolved third party fires striking and killing the suspect. Reporter it was yet another innocent passerby who then grabbed the police radio and called in for help. Yeah, the gentleman was shot by ae passerby who stopped the altercation after the officer was shot. Reporter the unidentified suspect was killed. A second person, a woman, was also found dead at the scene after apparently being ejected in a crash. Investigators say anderson, a 27year veteran, is lucky to be alive. Trooper anderson has undergone surgery and is doing well this morning according to police. The motorist who shot that suspect dead will not face any charges. Paula, dan.

The radar, freezing rain across parts of virginia, west virginia, maryland and d. C. This morning.

Maybe as far north as hartford then well begin to warm things up. Southeast really pretty warm temperatures in the 70s and this warmth will be building into the northeast so whatever does fall tonight shouldnt be that big of an issue.

But they now say in a statement, we want to assure our films that lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fishers performance as Princess Leia organa. Now, that said, fisher had already finished shooting episode viii before she passed so we will get to see her recreate her role as leia that comes out next december.

Fans are also loving her new short haircut in that picture. No word yet on what the project could be. We do know that the post came just hours after some pda photos surfaced of her and the weeknd being extra cuddly. So, many are now asking about that relationship. Forget about the secret project. I cant get past the fact that you referred to her having a nail guru. She has a nail guru. Yeah. I dont know what that entails but it sounds kind of awesome. You dont have a personal manicurist .

P president elect donald trup is about to enter office with a historically low approval rating. Dpal lup has released a new poll showing just 44 of meshs approve of his transition so far. Compare it to bill clinton who was at 68 before taking office. George w. Bush was at 61 . And current president obama 83 of americans approved of his transition. A part of mr. Trumps low rating may come from the perception he may endorse mass importations from immigrants. A march similar to this one will rally against what they say is criminalization, mass deportations and hatred of immigrants. They will share their vision for a more inclusive california that honors diversitdiversity. The rally begins at 11 00 at city hall. Cold this morning in the bay area.

What Authorities Say may have played a role in the crash. A cliff rescue of two skinny im hall of famer, jerry west, and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years. Until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto®. A latestgeneration blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective. Targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, ask yo dtor about xarelto®. Insurance changes . Xarelto® has you covered. Good morning bay area. Lets get up and get going. This is abc 7 mornings. Thanks for joining us on this saturday, january 14th. Im matt keller in for chris.
