Police make arrest in Wyoming kidnapping
CODY, Wyo. (AP) -- Wyoming authorities plan to release details Monday on the man arrested in connection with a Cody girl's kidnapping.
The FBI hasn't identified the suspect arrested in Belgrade, Mont.
But jail records there indicate a 39-year-old named Jesse Paul Speer was booked over the weekend on a hold for Wyoming, with bond set at $2 million. Jailers say he's charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony use of a weapon.
Police say a man lured the 11-year-old girl into his SUV by claiming he needed help finding a missing puppy. Hunters found the girl safe outside the town several hours later.
A man with Speer's date of birth lives in Bozeman, Mont., with previous addresses in Colorado, including Divide, where he had a photography business. He has no apparent criminal record.
