BREAKING NEWS: Abigail Hernandez Abductor Arrested

A man residing near Abigail Hernandez was arrested today and charged with felony kidnapping and confinement of the 15-year-old girl nine months ago:

A traumatized "Abby" Hernandez somehow returned to her Conway New Hampshire home last weekend in a perilously malnourished state and since then has been quietly recuperating and cooperating with authorities still working her missing person case.

Earlier in the week, based on the teen's descriptions, police released an artist's sketch of a possible male suspect, and by Friday reported they were actively pursuing at least 20 "good leads" so far.

The arrest today of 34-year-old Nathaniel Kibby "without incident" at his Gorham, NH trailer home, just 30 miles north of where Abby Hernandez lives, was therefore a relatively swift -- but long overdue -- break in one of the strangest disappearances on record.

Kibby has been charged with felony kidnapping and is scheduled for arraignment tomorrow (Tuesday, July 29th) at Conway District Court. 

It is not known if the defendant has his own lawyer yet or if one will be appointed for him, but a press briefing has been scheduled for Tuesday immediately following the arraignment.

Boogeyman in Leila Fowler Stabbing Death is Her Brother

Fowler stabbing: "Brother's blood & fingerprints on crime scene"

 Isaiah Fowler to be tried as a minor for non-premeditated murder

More counts may be pending for "depravity" and elaborate hoax
Allegations of animal torture and killing now being investigated:

If police are correct in their gruesome new theory, then the alleged boogeyman who viciously stabbed to death little Leila Fowler in April 2013 is none other than her 12-year-old brother, Isaiah.

 

 

The boy, who was finally arrested this week, had been seen attending public prayer vigils wearing pink and purple ribbons and carrying balloons to honor his slain sister's memory.

 

It's not clear yet if he has confessed to the unusually brutal crime, but he first told investigators that a "muscular man with gray hair" had entered their California home when the two youngsters were alone together. He then discovered his sibling's butchered body soon after the assailant fled on foot.

 

The 8-year-old girl had been stabbed at least 21 times, police reported, and her stepbrother's bogus boogeyman tale set off neighbors' nerves, a community-wide lockdown, and a massive manhunt for the alleged perpetrator.

 

Leila Fowler has at last been laid to rest this month, and her shaken community, although in double shock today, is at peace now as well.

Additional allegations against Isaiah Fowler have recently surfaced concerning bullying and animal mutilations prior to the murder of his sister. These are being investigated to determine if the suspect might have been escalating into a violent sociopath.

 

His father, however, insists his son is innocent of his daughter's slaying, despite that the youth had been suspended earlier in the year for bringing a knife to his middle school...

 

Viciously killing one's family members ... does anybody remember "Wyley Gates"?
