Police can not detain a person "just for questioning". The traffic offense must have been arrestable in nature and he was questioned about it for some reason reason

I agree. The article says:

"A man who lives at the house searched by authorities says he was the person detained for questioning in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and has since been released from custody. The man, who identified himself as Carlos Palazuelos, spoke to Telemundo in Spanish outside his house in Rio Rico — the site of a law enforcement search last night. Palazuelos confirmed his house was searched as per a warrant."

So, questioned at his property while his house was searched per a warrant, but then the article says "he has since been released from custody," so, apparently, they took him to the station.

I'm guessing he went voluntarily while being detained.
 
Police detained Dominic Evans for a few hours this morning and then released him. He claims they "didn't ask him anything" and that he doesn't know who Savana or Nancy Guthrie are.

He would have had to go in Voluntarily or like I said the traffic offense may have been an arrestable one. If not arrestable, to take a person in is an arrest whether or not so characterized, as there is no such legal doctrine as "Investigative detention" for mere Suspicion.

Yes. And I've seen a lot of crime videos where a person is in a police station for a voluntary "interview" related to an investigation, read their Miranda Rights, and repeatedly assured "you're not under arrest, we just want to ask you a few questions," while an arrest warrant is being prepared. :D

Then, when the person's done answering questions and thinks they're going home, they're arrested on suspicion. Totally legal. Naturally, they're arrested on actual charges, depending on investigators' evidence and/or how the "interview" went.

It's reported that Carlos was working when he was stopped at a traffic stop and taken in for questioning.

It doesn't seem to make sense that he was stopped, doesn't appear to have committed any traffic offence but taken into custody and questioned about the kidnapping.

I wonder if someone who knows him, saw the video of the intruder and thought it looked like him, tipped off the police who went looking for him, rather than it being a random stop.
