Authorities say there's more to the story: a connection between one of the suspects and Ayvani's mom. The two were once arrested together during a drug bust.
Ayvani's mother, Maria Corral, and Juan Alberto Contreras-Rodriguez were among five people arrested during a drug raid in 2012 in Henry County, south of Atlanta, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents told CNN.
Drug agents found 500 pounds of marijuana in the home where the bust took place, WSB said. All were charged with trafficking marijuana.
While charges against Corral and Contreras-Rodriguez were later dropped, the development indicates this week's kidnapping may not be as random as authorities first thought.
Federal and local authorities remain mum on most of the details of the case, saying the investigation is still active.
