Several departments were involved in the arrest of Jesse Speer on Saturday.

The FBI, Gallatin County Sheriff, Bozeman, Belgrade and Manhattan Police.  They all worked together to find the Cody abduction suspect.

Authorities are not releasing much information, other than to say 39 year old Jesse Paul Speer was arrested Saturday without incident in the downtown Belgrade district.

The missing Belgrade girls, who were found later that same day (Sat. Oct. 13th) was an unrelated case.

The suspect, Speer, has waived extradition on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault and felony use of a firearm, and is being held without bond, pending being sent to Wyoming.

We also know that Speer was a Manhattan resident, but not for long.  Authorities would not confirm or deny if Jesse Spear was a local photographer out of Bozeman.
