( CNN ) -- A 34-year-old man has been charged in the kidnapping of Abigail Hernandez , a New Hampshire teen who was returned to her home last week , more than nine months after she went missing on the way home from school . New Hampshire resident Nathaniel E. Kibby was arrested Monday and charged with one count of felony kidnapping for `` knowingly confining Abigail Hernandez on October 9 , 2013 , in Conway , New Hampshire , with a purpose to commit an offense against her , '' according to New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A . Foster . Kibby was arrested at his home in Gorham , New Hampshire , investigators said . Hernandez 's case drew national attention when the then 14-year-old girl went missing last fall . But the mystery surrounding her disappearance only deepened when authorities and her family revealed few details upon her return last Sunday . `` Over the course of the past week , law enforcement officers have worked around the clock to ascertain the facts and circumstances surrounding Abigail 's disappearance and return , '' according to Foster 's statement . Investigators said Hernandez provided police with details of her kidnapping that were `` sufficient to warrant today 's arrest . '' Kibby 's arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday in Conway District Court . In a statement released Monday , Hernandez , who is now 15 , thanked those who searched for her while she was missing . `` My gratitude is beyond words . It 's an incredible feeling to be home and I believe in my heart that your hopes and prayers played a major role in my release , '' Hernandez said . Last week , investigators released a sketch of a man they said drove the teen away in a navy blue pickup truck on October 9 . Investigators also released photographs last week of black pants , a gray striped sweater and a camouflage-colored National Guard bag , asking for information from anyone who `` saw Abigail Hernandez or a female wearing the clothing and drawstring bag .
