Suspect Arrested in Kidnap, Murder of Kansas Teen Kelsey Smith.

FOX NEWS
Authorities expected to charge a man on Thursday in connection with the kidnapping and murder of recent high school graduate Kelsey Smith, who disappeared from a Target parking lot in Overland Park, Kan., on Saturday.
Police arrested Edwin Hall, 26, on Wednesday night after he appeared on a security camera video shortly before Smith walked out of Target and was forced into a car. Hall was expected to be charged with premeditated first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping. Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said Hall appeared to be the same person shown in the video leaving the Target soon after Smith. He was wearing a white T-shirt, sneakers, shorts and a goatee. Hall was arrested after being interviewed by police, Douglass said.
Johnson County, Kan., prosecutor Phill Kline said charges would be filed Thursday morning.
"This community has lost a vibrant and promising life and a family has suffered unimaginable tragedy," he said.
Police said Hall's vehicle matched the description of a dark mid-1970s Chevrolet pickup that was seen entering the Target parking lot shortly after Smith's car.
