"When you hit that 48-hour moment, you realize it's going to be tough, and you start thinking the worst. But what happened was extraordinary," Hochul said. "The case started to break at 4:20 a.m. (Monday) morning (at) the family's home that was being guarded by State Police. The car pulls up to a mailbox. Something is left."

State Police went to the mailbox and found a ransom note. A fingerprint was found on the note.

"State Police worked diligently trying to find a match for a fingerprint. The first one they tried wasn't successful. (The) second one was to identify any other prints in the New York State database that would be a match," Hochul added.

A hit came with the second test, thanks to a 1999 arrest in Saratoga.

Craig Ross Jr. was arrested in 1999 in the city of Saratoga for DWI, Hochul confirmed.

"So, little more research, work to identify the location and identifying the fact that there was a home they could visit. They found a double wide house with a woman, the suspect's mother. The suspect lived in the camper behind. They have what they call a dynamic entry, a tactical maneuver, and within the camper, they located the suspect," Hochul added.

There's no known connection between Ross and the Sena family.
