AP report about the bus driver who found Cole Puffinburger on a Las Vegas street.

Six-year-old Cole Puffinburger, the Las Vegas boy allegedly abducted by a Mexican drug cartel, has been found alive and well. That doesn't mean the investigation is over, though. It looks as though it's just beginning.

A 42-year-old woman named Terri Leavy was arrested today in Fontana, California. Fox 5 Vegas reports that the feds picked Leavy up on a "federal material witness warrant."

Leavy is allegedly a "companion" to Cole's grandfather, Clemens (some reports spell it Clemons) Fred Tinnemeyer. The 51-year-old Tinnemeyer -- first publicly named in connection with this case by the True Crime Report -- is also in custody in California awaiting extradition while police search for yet another person of interest in this case, Jesus Gastelum. Gastelum is a Mexican national. He may be the link between the drug cartel and Clem Tinnemeyer.

Police won't talk about any possible charges against Cole's mom, Julie Puffinburger (Tinnemeyer), but she is being investigated as well.

Call Las Vegas Crime Stoppers if you think you have information relevant to this case: (702) 385-5555. [KVVU Las Vegas]
