OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The man sought by local authorities for kidnapping a 43-year-old Omaha woman who went missing the weekend before Thanksgiving has been arrested in Central America.

Douglas County Sheriff Wayne Hudson confirmed to our partners at 6 News that Aldrick Scott, 47, was arrested in Belize. News media in Belize have reported he was arrested Tuesday by Interpol in Caye Caulker, Belize, and is awaiting extradition.

Sources had told our partners at 6 News last month that they believed Scott had plans to leave the country, possibly to Mexico.

According to the arrest warrant issued in Douglas County Court last month, the 47-year-old is wanted for kidnapping and accessory to a felony.

Scott, from Topeka, is retired military, serving a total of 20 years with both the Marine Corps and U.S. Army.

Cari Allen was last seen Saturday, Nov. 19, near her west Omaha home. Since that time, authorities have conducted searches at a home in Topeka, Kan., and at the landfill in Bennington.

Search teams were also seen at Stolley Prairie near 168th and Blondo streets in Omaha, just a few blocks from Allen’s home, where crime technicians also towed Allen’s car out of her garage. A search was also conducted at an underpass near 169th Street and West Dodge Road.

Allen spent 11 years working for VODEC, a nonprofit helping adults with developmental disabilities. She works as a shared-living provider, opening up her home to those who needed it.
