The man who allegedly kidnapped a 23-year-old mom in Boston has been taken into custody in Delaware, Boston police said, and while a body was recovered, the victim has yet to be identified.

The case began when Jassy Correia disappeared with a man after leaving Boston's Venu Nightclub shortly after midnight on Sunday, the Boston Police Department said.

Jassy Correia, 23, was allegedly kidnapped and killed after leaving a nightclub early on Feb. 24, 2019.

Police identified her suspected kidnapper as Louis D. Coleman III, 32, of Providence, Rhode Island, and urged the public to help find Correia and Coleman.

Police later on Thursday said Coleman was arrested in Delaware.

Signs were posted along the street by the club Thursday as the desperate search for Correia reached its fifth day.

Additional details on Coleman's arrest were not immediately released.
