LAKELAND, FLORIDA -- An arrest has been made in Lakeland, Florida in connection with the disappearance of Robert Wiles.

The Holland native was abducted in 2008 from his family's airplane business in Florida.

The FBI arrested Stobert Holt, 42, Friday afternoon.

He's charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, extortion and making written threats to kill or do bodily harm.

The FBI said that while Wiles' body has not been found, an investigation has revealed he was killed.

Wiles reported to work at his family's Lakeland aircraft maintenance business and vanished that day with no explanation.

The FBI said his family discovered a ransom note two days later.
