The family of a kidnapped Louisiana mother tracked down and killed the father of her child in the abandoned house where he was allegedly holding her prisoner, authorities said.

Bethany Arceneaux, 29, of Duson, La., was abducted in the parking lot of a daycare where she was picking up her 2-year-old at approximately 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Department Captain Kip Judice told ABCNews.com.

Witnesses saw the suspect, Scott Thomas, allegedly force Arceneaux into his white Buick LeSabre, before driving off, Lafayette Police Department spokesman Paul Mouton told ABCNews.com.

The cops missed it in their search. The family went back and found it. Killed the guy. Gun's better than a restraining order.

Upon entering, they found Thomas’ lifeless body on the ground. He had sustained several gunshot wounds.

Nothing like a happy ending

Well done. Very well done.

This story proves once again that cops are very nearly useless.

“An autopsy on the body will be conducted “

My guess is lead poisoning.

Meanwhile, officers who heard the gun shots fired surrounded the home, Judice said. Upon entering, they found Thomas’ lifeless body on the ground. He had sustained several gunshot wounds.
Thomas’ cause of death is not known, Judice said.

I can propose one theory.

They apparently even got the owner’s permission to go into the abandoned house before they did so.

Lady saved,
Kidnapper dead.

Every story of kidnapping should read like this.
