Here's what we learned from the press conference held by VSP Maj. Ed Ledo. A Waterford, Vermont couple have been arrested and will be arraigned at 11 a.m. in St. Johnsbury. Here is a brief report from Seattle PI.

According to Ledo, Melissa was strangled. The police went last night to the home of Alan and Patricia Prue, in Waterford, confiscated evidence and subsequently arrested them. Maj. Ledo said the quick resolution to this case was due to a information from Melissa's family, friends, and St. Johnsbury Academy, and the cooperation of State and Local Police, the FBI, and the Sheriff's Department, along with help from many other local departments.

I will post more information as we get it. Meantime, details of the abduction and the discovery of Melissa's body are outlined on WCAX
