North Carolina authorities on Friday announced the arrest of a third suspect in connection with the Monday kidnapping of a mother and her toddler daughter from a Garner home.

Earlier this week, Garner officials charged illegal immigrants Paola Duran Duran, 25, and Miguel Angel Duran Duran, 23, with two counts of first-degree kidnapping and one count of second-degree kidnapping.

A manhunt ensued for a third suspect, Eleodoro “Leo” Estrada-Hernandez, before authorities located and arrested him on Friday.

“The FBI arrested Eleodoro ‘Leo’ Estrada-Hernandez in connection with the kidnapping of a young mother and her baby,” the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation (NC SBI) said Friday. “Hernandez was taken into custody by FBI Special Agents in Knightdale.”

ICE detainers have reportedly been lodged against Paola and Miguel, according to WNCN. Estrada-Hernandez’s immigration status is unknown. 

ICE did not immediately respond to a request from Fox News Digital for more information about the suspects.

Multiple state, local and federal agencies were involved in the search for all three suspects.
