The family had been missing since Monday and authorities said they were "taken against their will" from a business in California's Central Valley. A person of interest was in custody Tuesday afternoon, the Merced County Sheriff's Office announced. The incident launched a massive search and pleas to the public for help.

"There is no words to describe the anger I feel, the senseless of this incident," Warnke told reporters. "I said it earlier, there’s a special place in hell for this guy, and I mean it.”
