A suspect was in custody in Arizona.Tyler Police Chief Gary Swindle confirmed the body of Megan Leann Holden, a 19-year-old college student from Henderson whose kidnapping was captured on videotape late Wednesday, was found.
"It is apparent that she has died of a gunshot wound," he said, declining to give details.
A surveillance videotape "shows Megan getting into her truck and the (man) running up behind her and either hitting her or pushing her," police spokesman Don Martin said earlier. "Then the vehicle drives off."
The body was found in Martin County in West Texas, Martin said.
