Colorado police have made an arrest in the abduction, murder and dismemberment of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway.
"Law enforcement received the major break in the Jessica Ridgeway investigation they have been hoping for," the Westminster Police said today. "Late Tuesday evening police received a call that led them to a home near the Ketner Lake Open Space."
Police said they will file charges against the attacker for Ridgeway's death and for the attempted abduction of a jogger in May 2012.
Authorities are expected to release more details about the suspect at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
