CODY, WY - The FBI is learning more about the man accused of abducting and sexually assaulting an 11-year-old Cody girl.

Law enforcement has recovered the car top carrier that was on the roof of the suspect vehicle at the time of the abduction Monday afternoon, according to a press release from the FBI.

The carrier is being processed for evidence.
