MIAMI (AP) — A Florida businessman accused in the disappearance of his estranged wife in Spain has pleaded not guilty to federal kidnapping charges. David Knezevich entered the plea Monday in Miami federal court. He is charged with Ana Knezevich’s Feb. 2 disappearance from her Madrid apartment. David Knezevich was arrested by the FBI on May 4 at Miami International Airport as he returned from his native Serbia. Ana’s family believes the naturalized American from Colombia is dead, though her husband has not been charged with killing her. His attorney, Jayne Weintraub, has questioned the evidence and plans to seek his release.
