Husband of Ana Maria Knezevich, missing in Spain, arrested in Miami

The husband of the Florida woman who went missing during a trip to Spain has been arrested and charged with kidnapping, the FBI confirmed Monday.

Ana Maria Knezevic Henao, 40, was last seen on February 2 in Madrid, Spain, according to the National Center for the Disappeared in Spain. Relatives of the businesswoman said she was in the middle of a difficult divorce, according to a police report obtained by USA TODAY.

According to CNN and NBC, the Diplomatic Security Service and the FBI arrested her husband, 36-year-old David Knezevich, at Miami International Airport on Saturday in connection with her disappearance. He has not yet appeared for his first court date in Miami federal court.

Knezevic Henao’s brother Juan Felipe Henao said she never showed up at the Madrid train station from where she was planning to go to Barcelona with a friend, CNN reported.

David Knezevich’s attorney, Ken Padowitz, declined USA TODAY’s request for comment.

Man sprays Ana Maria’s surveillance camera apartments

Officers considered David Knezevich a suspect in the case after a man who resembled him spray-painted the security camera at their Madrid apartment building, NBC reported. Additionally, suspicious text messages sent from Knezevic Henao’s phone were traced to him and a car he rented in Serbia was tracked to their street.

Knezevic Henao traveled from Miami to Madrid on December 26, 2023, according to an FBI criminal complaint. According to CNN, no one has been able to communicate with her since February 2, including her friend Sanna Rameau, who is happy about David Knezevich’s arrest.

“I hope we get some answers,” Rameau told CNN.
