Looks like the police have
arrested a suspect. Boulder County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 42-year-old transient this afternoon on suspicion he abducted two local hikers at gunpoint near Nederland last weekend.
Joseph Scott Carter had been camping in the forest for a couple of weeks, the Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
He was found near the Peak to Peak Highway this afternoon and matched the description given by the man and woman he allegedly accosted at rifle point.
