Walt Harris’ stepdaughter Aniah Blanchard still missing following arrest of suspect in Florida

A suspect has been arrested and charged with first-degree kidnapping in the disappearance of 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard, who is the stepdaughter of UFC heavyweight Walt Harris.

30-year-old Ibraheem Yazeed was captured in Pensacola, Fla., late Thursday night in a joint operation by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force along with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department.

Yazeed later waived extradition, which allowed him to be taken back to Alabama after an arrest warrant was issued for first-degree kidnapping.

Blanchard went missing on Oct. 23 shortly after she was seen entering a convenience store in Auburn, Ala.
