Linda Stoltzfoos was last seen on Father's Day, June 21

A man in Pennsylvania has been taken into custody and charged in connection with the disappearance of an Amish woman three weeks ago, according to officials.

The Lancaster County District Attorney's Office said in a news release that Justo Smoker, 34, of Paradise, was arrested Friday and charged with felony kidnapping and misdemeanor false imprisonment in the search for 18-year-old Linda Stoltzfoos.

Stoltzfoos has been missing since June 21, when she was last seen walking home from church in the Bird-in-Hand area, located to the east of Lancaster.

"Investigators are actively searching and working to determine what happened to Stoltzfoos after she was taken," the district attorney's office said Saturday. "Investigators have reason to believe Stoltzfoos was harmed following her abduction."
