Authorities arrested a suspect Wednesday night for the kidnap and murder of 18-year-old Kelsey Smith, who disappeared from a Target parking lot in Overland Park, Kan., on Saturday.

Police believe 26-year-old Edwin Hall was the man who appeared on a security camera video following Smith out of the store and forced her into her car.

Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said police had located a truck matching the description of one seen entering the store's parking lot moments before Smith was abducted in Hall's possession. Hall was arrested after being interviewed by police, Douglass said.

Hall faces a minimum 25-to-life if convicted of the murder charge and a minimum 14 months if convicted of kidnapping. Authorities said there was a possibility they would file additional charges.
