"We are happy that a dangerous individual has been apprehended it does not bring the victim back but it does hopefully add some level of comfort to the family that we are taking the necessary steps to bring Hines to justice," said Franklin County Sheriff Kent Winstead.

Hines was wanted in the death of Heather Guild, a mother of two, who was reported missing by her mother on Thursday.

He is being held in the Franklin County Detention Center on a $25,000 secured bond.
