El Dorado County sheriffs and Salt Lake City police are saying nothing amid broadcast reports that a missing Georgetown woman is one of two people arrested Friday in Utah in connection with the disappearance of her husband.

Patricia Presba was reported missing on Thursday, a month after human remains were discovered in a Chevrolet Suburban belonging to her husband Ronald Presba. The vehicle was found burned and at the bottom of a ravine along Highway 193 near Kelsey.

Utah Authorities in Utah said Friday night they had arrested two people - a man and a woman -- in connection with the evolving case. The pair was apprehended at a Salt Lake City motel. Salt Lake City media reports said the man taken into custody had gunshot wounds and the woman had stab wounds to her arm.

Their names were not released, but in a report Saturday on Sacramento KXTV-TV's Web site, Misty Bananno confirmed that the woman she saw in custody in television news footage from Salt Lake City was her mother, Patricia Presba.

On Thursday, a friend went to the Presba family's home on Meadow Brook Road and found the front door open and covered in blood, said El Dorado Sheriff's Sgt. Bryan Golmitz.
