(Salt Lake City-AP) -- Authorities have made an arrest in the slaying of an Ogden architect on a Book of Mormon tour in Guatemala.

Guatemalan authorities, along with federal investigators, are in the town of Morales Izabal, near the Atlantic Coast.

Richards was on board the bus with 12 other tourists. Many of them were his family members, including his wife, brother and father.
