some family members tell us that carlesha is home. she is safe. they won't say where she is. but they will say, she is expecting and wants to talk to the media later this morning. and wants to share her comments of what happened. sources close to the investigation tell me she is at home with her family. again, family members are telling me that is not the case. either way, it's very clear, relatives want to be by themselves with carlesha this morning. we are respecting that. as soon as she's ready to talk, we'll bring it to you. reporting live in north philadelphia, katy zachry, "nbc10 news." they were rejoicing last night. carlesha's family celebrated at a police news conference. you can see the excitement in everyone's afaces. her mother gave a big hug to detective jim sloan there, he's the investigator who made her a promise. >> he sat in my kitchen in front of me, i'm bringing your
