Tonight, we have an update on the accused American kidnapper and alleged killer who was found on Caye Caulker.

Back in November Aldrick Scott fled his Topeka, Kansas home just as the police were closing in on him. He hopped a flight to sunnier weather right here in Belize where he stumbled into a job cleaning fish for a Caye Caulker food stall.

But just a few weeks later he was ultimately turned over to U.S. authorities by his Belizean employer who felt there could have been consequences for him if he continued to knowingly harbour a fugitive.

And on Friday Scott was back in Nebraska to hear charges of kidnapping and accessory to a felony, charges which could carry a penalty up to life in prison.

In court, prosecutors revealed that a friend of his ex, Cari Allen confirmed that she had broken things off with Scott two weeks prior to her disappearance, "but that he continued to text and show up unannounced."

The sheriff's office in Douglas County where Carri Allen lives is still working to find her.

Aldrick Scott's bond has been set at $10 million dollars.
