Sources tell Action News a person of interest is in custody for the dismembered body found Thursday.
Gerold was found dismembered in a U-Haul truck in February 2021.
During the investigation, the SPCA removed dozens of exotic animals from Gerold's home on the 1000 block of Sanibel Street.
After being found guilty by a jury, Herring was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Jeanette Pace and Rafique McNichols were also charged in connection with Gerold's death.
Police believe the motive was burglary.
