>> well, she is resting at home now. we brought the family down to howard county hospital last night so they could reunite with her. she was released from the hospital. we brought them back to philadelphia. she's at home now. we're letting them get some rest before we actually continue to interview her. we do have some information. we want to give her a chance to kind of settle down and be with family for a moment. >> what do you know about the suspect in this case? >> he's got a very extensive criminal history. he was already wanted in charles city, virginia for attempted murder, abduction, aggravated assault. i mean, a variety of charges. he was convicted of rain here in philadelphia back in 2005. he has a very extensive criminal history, a violent predator. we are very fortunate to get her back alive. >> i think you called him the thug yesterday. is there any evidence he targeted carlesha in particular? >> well, they didn't know one another beforehand. it could be a chance encounter. we will know more when we have a chance to sit down and interview her and interrogate him. right now, he is being held on charges that were filed by virginia as i mentioned before. so we still got a lot of investigative work to do. but this was a stranger abduction as far as we know right now. >> this case got so much notice, of course, because of that under surveillance video that captured his violent abduction. in your mind, is that piece of videotape what made the difference and led finally to her rescue? >> there is absolutely no question. i have been in policing for 46 years. i've never actually seen a kid naping on video. so it really did add to the sense of urgency him we were able to get it out to the media right away. >> that followed by a couple other pieces of video we were able to obtain through the course of an investigation and that led to a tip of an individual who had sold a car to this person. we also contacted authorities in virginia, found that he had a warrant. we were able to track him to jessup, maryland. we had a task force that was put together that included atf, fbi and the u.s. marshalls service. their baltimore field office actually are the ones who spotted the car, conducted a under surveillance. once he stepped out of the car, momentarily, they were able take him down and not have hostage situation and rescue miss gaither. so it worked out great. and it's unusual. usually the longer these things go the less likely you are to find a victim alive. >> i know you must be very happy to have a happy ending. congratulations on the great police work. philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey. thank you. >> thank you. >> now, let's turn to matt. president obama is now suggesting it could lead to a new wave of compromise in washington but with the general election just two years away, is that possible?

>> recently, i asked the new york prosecutor, hired by the nfl to help overhaul the leak's domestic policies whether any player should be immediately banned for a first offense? >> if you talk to any expert, they tell you that would be a very, very bad idea. because nobody will report if that happened. >> reporter: meanwhile, minnesota vikings running back adrian peterson is waiting to hear if he will be allowed to return after the felony charge for striking his four-year-old son was dropped. instead, peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault. as the nfl tackles a few policy, still unanswered questions. >> what are you going to do when somebody is arrested?

>> you know, we did not get much training. the first time that i put on the protective equipment, i was heading in to take care of the patient. so we didn't have excessive training where we could don and put on and take off the protective equipment until we got a level of being comfortable with it. i didn't have that. >> one of the most talked about aspects of your story, amber, the fact that after mr. duncan passed. a couple days later, you into you to see family and friends in ohio. did you talk about that trip with anyone at the hospital?

i don't know and during the movie, the sequel, we don't change at all. we're still the same at the end as the beginning. it's a beautiful thing to do. >> you never said this, if i had to copy a hollywood career, it might be yours. you might be at the top of the list. here's the reason why. you get to play some of the post-fascinating dramatic roles out there like on "the newsroom." you grab an emmy award for that, from what i understand, the day after you grab that you are on the set of a movie called "dumb and dumber 2." that's called having your cake and eating it too. >> 24 hours after win the emmy, jeff, we need to see some butt crack. i won an emmy. get down, drop the pants. so, it was -- look i wanted the range. i wanted to go from a to z. that's what i did. i wouldn't have done it any other way. i love confusing those who try to pigeon hole me. >> it's also like some fight commercials. wait, there's more. because you also still have your life the way you want it. >> yeah. >> you still live in michigan. >> that is home. >> yes. >> even though hollywood calls every once in a while, you grab on that that fiercely?

i think it was eight years since you did a studio album or was it the idea that came to you? >> the idea had been floating around. a friend of mine suggested it. i had always loved girl groups. you talked about saving up your dollar dollar and a quarter and you got your 25. i love those girls the chiffons, the first record i owned was with the bosley sisters. >> you said i'm mad about the melodys, coup cukroo for the chorus?
