FBI using kidnap charge to detain husband while investigating South Florida woman’s disappearance as murder, defense argues

Attorneys for the husband of a Fort Lauderdale woman who disappeared in Spain are again asking a judge to reconsider the decision to keep him in prison in a motion filed Tuesday, arguing that officials arrested David Knezevich on kidnapping charges only to keep him detained while they investigate his wife’s disappearance as a murder.

FBI agents arrested Knezevich at the Miami International Airport in May, months after his wife, Ana Henao Knezevich, suspiciously disappeared in Madrid in February.
