Suffolk County police confirm an arrest has been made in connection to a Patchogue teen who was missing for weeks.
Emmarae Gervasi was found on a boat in a canal in Islip on Friday after being missing since Dec. 9.
"I did find her myself before the police got there. It was 26 days of hell seeing her alive in my arms. It was a gift from God. I can't describe the feeling I had when I grabbed her," Frank Gervasi said.
