Stefaniak's sister-in-law, April Burton, flew with her, but Burton flew back one day early.

A video released by Costa Rican authorities show the moment a security guard accused of killing Florida woman Carla Stefaniak in Costa Rica was taken into custody.

But she had not been heard from since last Tuesday. A security guard at the Airbnb complex where missing Florida woman Carla Stefaniak was staying has been arrested, authorities said Tuesday. Stefaniak traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate her birthday, leaving on Thanksgiving Day. Officials say he had the time and space to commit the crime and became a suspect because of the investigation, after testimony he first gave was not compatible to the rest of the evidence. Investigators say blood was found in his apartment and that testimony he gave did not match with CCTV footage and other witness statements.

On Tuesday, Costa Rican officials arrested 32-year-old Bismarck Espinosa Martinez, a guard at the Villa Buena Vista resort near San Jose.
