The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office and state police are actively following up on leads related to Fabian’s disappearance, a state police spokeswoman said Saturday.

Police said they believe Knisley stole a third vehicle late Friday in North Carolina. Later, he was involved in a pursuit with Raleigh, North Carolina, police, who took him into custody. He’s facing a first-degree murder charge and additional charges are pending.

The incident began around 3:30 a.m. Friday when the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call about a homicide occurring at a home in the 200 block of Mount Airy Lane. 

Officers found an adult male dead inside Fabian’s residence. Fabian herself was not there.
