New Hampshire Police Arrests Abigail Hernandez Kidnapper

A 34-year-old man has been taken into custody for kidnapping New Hampshire teen Abigail Hernandez who mysteriously returned home on Sunday after she went missing for nine months.

Abby's recent reunification with her family following the nine month absence has raised more questions than answers as to what really happened when she went missing.

Recent developments in the case state that authorities arrested Nathaniel Kibby at his residence in Gorham on Monday afternoon for abducting the teen, who was 14 at the time, in October 2013.

According to a press release from the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, Abby was able to give police details about the kidnapping which eventually led to Kibby's arrest.  

The alleged kidnapper is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday at the Conway District Court. Attorney General Joseph Foster announced that there will be a press briefing held after the arraignment.

Kibby's neighbor, 76-year-old Donald St. Germain described to the Daily Mail the arrest, stating that armed authorities showed up around noon while he was making food.

He said the FBI later asked him question about his neighbor who had reportedly been living in the area for five years.

When asked if he had seen a young girl at Kibby's residence, St. Germain told the police that Kibby appeared to have been living alone since he and his girlfriend had broken up.

However, other neighbors told the Huffington Post that Kibby has been keeping to himself and, during the time in which authorities were looking for Abby, they had not seen him in the area.

Surprised to hear about the arrest, some even expressed anger towards Kibby for abducting the young girl.

Prior to the arrest, Abigail's mother, Zenya Hernandez, slammed rumors that her daughter had run away because she was pregnant.

"The majority of people somehow believe that she was pregnant. She was not. She did not run away. I firmly believe that," Ms. Hernandez stated, claiming that her daughter did not know the man who took her.
