A man accused of abducting a girl from her bedroom has been arrested.
The Aurora Police Department praised the community for their help in the case, saying in a statement that since the incident Monday, they had received more than 200 tips. An arrest warrant for 26-year-old John Stanley Snorsky was signed Friday.
The 8-year-old victim was in her bedroom early Monday morning when the suspect allegedly climbed through her unlocked window and took her. The girl screamed, waking up her father, who ran outside to find his daughter sprinting back towards him from a nearby alley. She had managed to get away from her kidnapper, though police have not elaborated on how.

Aurora police put out at $20,000 reward for the suspect’s capture–the largest reward the police department had ever offered.
Snorsky was actually in custody for most of the search; he was reportedly arrested Tuesday morning for an unrelated violation, and had remained in jail the rest of the week. Police say they determined Friday that there was probable cause to charge him in the kidnapping.
Aurora police released this statement late Friday night:
The Aurora Police Department has made an arrest in Monday’s kidnapping. John Stanley Snorsky, 26, of Aurora has been charged with first and second degree burglary and second degree kidnapping. He is being held on $500,000 bond.
Snorsky was arrested on Tuesday morning in Aurora with the assistance of the Colorado Department of Corrections Division of Adult Parole for an investigative parole hold on an unrelated case. He has remained in jail since his initial arrest. The Aurora Police Department arrived at probable cause to charge him with the kidnapping today. An Adams County arrest warrant for the kidnapping was signed this evening.
We are extremely grateful to the community for the over 200 tips that came in during the week. We are also grateful to the Division of Adult Parole and to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in this investigation.
