Last Update: 7:29 am 


 Mercedes, TX - New developments on a kidnapping in hidalgo.  This morning a man is behind bars in connection with the kidnapping.  Right now the four year old victim, Lesley Perez is safe and back with her family. 

A handcuffed man sits in the grass outside a Mercedes home near FM 1425 and Mile 11 Wednesday night.  Later DPS troopers hauled that same man in to custody.

Right on the property, a white Ford truck like the one described as the kidnappers getaway vehicle.  The truck appeared to have a gray stripe of primer.  The suspect may have been about to paint it.

This is where authorities found four year old Lesley Estefania Perez.  She was kidnapped from a field across from her house on South 33rd street in Hidalgo Tuesday night.  The kidnapper punched her 12 year old sister when she tried to stop him.  Authorities have not released details about the man in custody or about how they found the girl.  For 24 hours, the four year olds grandfather waited to hear she was safe.  Lazaro Perez says, "We had hope the police would find her.  Thank god they did find her we're all very happy right now."

As soon as everyone found out Lesley had been found neighbors crowded the streets and joined the family.  Marison Rivera, Lesley's Aunt thanked all her neighbors and the entire hidalgo community for pulling together to find Lesley saying, "Thank you to everyone.  We're so happy.  I can't say anything more.  We're happy we found her alive.

Family members say Lesley perez is at Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco being checked for injuries.  The hospital is the last stop before the little girl can finally return to the safety of her home.
