The missing california teen found in the back country of idaho over the weekend. Idaho over the weekend. Her alleged abductor shot and killed by the fbi. Joe friar is in boise for us this morning. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, savannah. Hannah anderson beginning the process of reuniting with her family thanks in part to a group of horseback riders that shifted the focus here to idaho. Deep inside idahos harsh wilderness, four veterans of the outdoors knew something wasnt right. Just a gut feeling. Like they didnt belong. Mark and christa john and mike and mary young were riding their horses in the backcountry when they stumbled upon two strangers from california. They were like a square peg going into a round hole. They didnt fit. He might have been an outdoors in california but he was not an outdoorsman in idaho. Reporter what they didnt realize is they were talking to Hannah Anderson and james dimaggio. The man suspected of murdering her mother and brother. They didnt want to talk to us whatsoever. Reporter it all made sense when they got home. The amber alert was on the television and i told my wife that was the girl we saw on the mountain. Reporter by friday they saw the heavy camouflaged car and fbi agents led them to the campsite deep in the mountains. It took 2 1 2 hours to find the spot. They waited until the two were separate ensuring hannahs safety. Reporter they are not saying what transpired when dimaggio was shot and killed. Hannah was reunited with her father sunday. Welcome news to her grandmother. Im excited for my son who gets to have her. He lost his wife and my beautiful, handsome grandson. We have to work at getting closure from now on. Reporter for hannahs safety and privacy, authorities are not releasing any information about her whereabouts. At this point its unclear when she is going to return to Southern California but we can tell you her family there is anxiously waiting, savannah. Joe, thank you. The two couples that encountered hannah and were instrumental in her rescue are with us now. Good morning to all of you. Good morning. Mark, let me start with you. What were some of the red flags for you if you could reel them off . Oh it was the fact that they were totally out of place when they was up there. They wasnt dressed for the occasion and they just looked like one of them was scared and the other one was just blank. Didnt want to talk to nobody. Thats quite unusual. Yes, indeed. Mike, i know you tried to engage with them. Did you think that she looked under distress at all, mike . Well, when i seen her she had a fearful look in her eyes. And that put up a red flag for me. Krista as i understand it, you in that moment felt there was something wrong. You even wanted to talk to hannah but there was concern that something terrible might happen if you tried to confront them right then and there. Can you tell me about that experience . Yeah. That happened later at the lake when she was sitting there soaking her feet. We just kind of watched her and i was talking to jim prior to that telling him that whatever possessed them to come way out here in the wilderness. And he said that she picked where they went last year on a trip which was hollywood and los angeles. So this year was his turn to pick the trip. So that was a plausible, you know, explanation to why they would be there. Mary, what was your impression of mr. Dimaggio . Do you think he was acting like her father or Something Else . What did you think that relationship was . When we passed them the first time, he had his arm around her waist and was kind of holding her close. I felt that he was doing that to try and protect her from the horses as they were going past on the trail. She did look a little frightened at the time. And finally, mike, very quickly, the more i read about this area, how remote it is. The more astonishing it is that she was ever found. In your mind, what are the chances . Very, very small. I spent a lot of time in the back country and chances like that just dont happen. Well, thank you so much. I know you were very instrumental and we really appreciate it. Youre welcome. She said earlier it was a one in a trillion chance that they would have run across them and made that connection. I was shocked to hear in the back country like that, but just the power of being observant. They looked like they didnt belong there. Trying to engage in conversation and the little hints that came out in the conversation. Got to trust your gut. Absolutely. Meantime mounting tension in egypt this morning. Thats right. Topping our news this morning. Supporters of egypts ousted president are digging in this morning in cairo. Security officials threatened to crack down on protestors setting the stage for more confrontations. Nbcs Richard Engle is in cairo with the latest. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning, natalie. Several thousand protestors, supporters of the ousted president morsi barricaded themselves into the square not far from egypts international airport. They blocked off all streets leading to the square using brick walls and sandbags. They say they wont leave until president Mohammed Morsi from the muslim brother hood is reinstated to office. The Egyptian Army and Police Called on the demonstrators to disperse. In fact, Egyptian Forces were expected to move against the demonstrations with tear gas and maybe even sending in tanks. So far that hasnt happened. Its unclear right now if the Egyptian Government is going to use force knowing that could trigger violence that would be hard to contain or might just try and wait this out. Natalie . Richard engle in cairo, thank you. President obama begins his third day of vacation on Marthas Vineyard today but he wont be able to leave his work completely behind.

On friday, president obama announced new steps aimed at increasing transparency. Republicans have typically been supportive but on sunday Michael Mccall said on meet the press that the steps were window dressing. He said mr. Obama hasnt done a good enough job of explaining the program to the public.
