GOLDEN, CO - 1530EDT - April 26. 1:30 p.m. MALL FIRE NEWS CONFERENCE Law-enforcement officials will hold a news conference on the arrest of a suspect in the pipe bomb found after a fire at a Denver-area shopping mall. Officials from FBI, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. attorney's office and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department are scheduled to speak. Location: Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, 200 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden. Contacts: Dave S. Joly (FBI), 303-630-6060. Law-enforcement officials say a man suspected of leaving a pipe bomb and propane tanks at a Denver-area shopping mall has been arrested. Two law enforcement officials close to the investigation told The Associated Press that 65-year-old Earl Albert Moore was captured Tuesday in Boulder. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the arrest hasn't been officially announced. Authorities have been searching for Moore since the explosives were discovered April 20 at the Southwest Plaza Mall in the south Denver suburbs. The explosives were found after a fire, but they didn't detonate. No injuries were reported. The fire occurred on the 12th anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School not far from the mall. The FBI says it's unlikely the mall incident was related to Columbine.

FTG FOR COVERAGE ON JESSICA RIDGEWAY CASE / EXT BROLL CHOPPER AERIALS OVER SUSPECT HOME / EXT BROLL CHOPPER AERIALS SUSPECT CAR TOWED TO POLICE FACILITY WESTMINSTER, Colo. - A teenager who lived just a mile from a 10-year-old Colorado girl who was abducted and killed earlier this month has been arrested in her death, along with a May attack on a runner, authorities said Wednesday. Police in the Denver suburb of Westminster said they arrested 17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg on Tuesday night after receiving a phone call, apparently from his mother, that led them to Sigg. Reached by phone Wednesday, Sigg's mother told The Associated Press he turned himself in. "I made the phone call, and he turned himself in. That's all I have to say," said Mindy Sigg, before she broke down in tears and hung up. Police announced the arrest as agents searched Sigg's home, but they have released few details about the investigation. Court documents have been sealed, but a police custody report said Sigg was cooperative when he was arrested and waived his rights. Jessica Ridgeway disappeared Oct. 5 while walking to school. Her body was found five days later in a field at a park. The break in the case came a day after police said Jessica's abduction was linked to the May 28 attempted kidnapping of a 22-year-old runner at another park, the Ketner Lake Open Space.

EXT BROLL POLICE PRESSER ON SEATCH FOR MISSING GIRL JESSICA RIDGEWAY / INT BROLL MISING GIRL FLIERS IN SUPERMARKET WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Authorities investigating the disappearance of a 10-year-old Colorado girl said Wednesday they're pursuing tips from five other states, including Maine, where a woman reported seeing a girl resembling Jessica Ridgeway on Sunday. That tip and others from Maryland, Texas, Nevada and Wyoming are among the hundreds of bits of information that have been passed on to investigators in the Denver suburb of Westminster, police spokesman Trevor Materasso. He didn't release details but earlier in the day said police were looking at whether there's a link between Jessica's disappearance and the Monday abduction of an 11-year-old girl in Cody, Wyo. - about 500 miles away. In that case, a man lured an 11-year-old girl into a sport utility vehicle saying he needed help finding his puppy. She was released about four hours later and found by hunters. Police there say they're looking for a white man between 55 and 60 years old with short, strawberry blond or white hair and a neatly trimmed mustache. Jessica was last seen Friday after leaving home to meet friends at a park on her way to school.
