Suspect charged with kidnapping Walt Harris’ stepdaughter denied bond, ordered to submit to DNA testing

Ibraheem Yazeed, the suspect charged with kidnapping UFC heavyweight Walt Harris’ stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard, appeared in an Alabama courtroom on Wednesday for a preliminary hearing on the case.

Yazeed was arrested and charged with first-degree kidnapping after witnesses identified him as the man who was allegedly seen forcing Blanchard into her vehicle against her will. Blanchard has been missing for four weeks with her last known whereabouts at a convenience store in Auburn, Ala. where she was seen on surveillance footage.

Yazeed was also identified on the footage, which eventually led police to issue a warrant for his arrest.
