The husband of Ana Maria Knezevich Henao, a 40-year-old American woman who went missing in Madrid in February, has been arrested in Florida in connection with her disappearance. David Knezevich, 36, was taken into federal custody on Saturday at Miami International Airport by the Diplomatic Security Service and the FBI.
According to the FBI, Knezevich is alleged to have been involved in his wife's kidnapping on or around February 2, 2024. He has not yet appeared in court, and the investigation is ongoing.
Knezevich Henao was reported missing after she failed to meet a friend in Madrid. Her brother, Juan Felipe Henao, said she was supposed to take a train to Barcelona with a friend on February 5, but she never showed up at the Madrid station. Her friend, Sanna Rameau, last exchanged messages with her on February 2, and received a WhatsApp message from Knezevich Henao saying she had met someone wonderful and was going to spend a few days at his summer house.
Rameau told CNN she is happy and emotional after learning of the arrest, and hopes to get some answers about her friend's disappearance. Around the time Knezevich Henao went missing, someone spray-painted the lens of two security cameras at the apartment building where she was staying, disabling them. It's unclear if this incident is related to her disappearance.
The building superintendent and two other people with knowledge of the situation told CNN that police had entered Knezevich Henao's apartment on February 12 with judicial authorization. Her brother and Rameau told CNN they had been in contact with Knezevich in the days after her disappearance, and he told them he was in Serbia.
Knezevich Henao had rented the apartment in Madrid from January 5 to February 5, and had asked to extend the booking for another month. The US Embassy in Madrid had no comment on the case in February, citing privacy restrictions.
The arrest of David Knezevich is a significant development in the investigation into Ana Maria Knezevich Henao's disappearance. The FBI and Spanish police are continuing their investigations, and it's hoped that Knezevich's arrest will lead to some answers about what happened to his wife.
The case has received widespread attention, with many people following the developments on social media. The arrest of Knezevich has brought some hope to those who have been following the case, and it's hoped that justice will be served for Knezevich Henao and her family.
The investigation is ongoing, and it's unclear what charges Knezevich will face. However, his arrest is a significant step forward in the search for answers about Knezevich Henao's disappearance.
