The family of an abducted Louisiana woman rescued her and killed her abductor Friday.

Bethany Arceneaux, 29, was kidnapped Wednesday by Scott Thomas, 29, as she picked their child up from daycare, police said.

Police and family members in Lafayette Parish began searching for her immediately.

Her family found her first.

Police said the family was searching the area and heard a woman scream. About a half-dozen men kicked in the door of the house and confronted Scott, who began stabbing Arceneaux, police said.

What happened next is not clear, police said, but gunfire erupted and police that arrived at the scene found Scott dead from injuries sustained during the confrontation.

The woman's brother didn't apologize for his family's actions.

"We did what we had to do. We did not wait for authorities. We did it our own self," said Harold Carter, Arceneaux's older brother.

He had already kidnapped the girl and her child, assaulted her and was not in jail. Was he the baby daddy?

Good for her kin. The police cannot and will not protect you.

I especially liked the part about the armed men on atvs.

I love a happy ending...

Great...and also more proof that restraining orders are a joke. They only provoke...good women and all decent souls need to ARM THEMSELVES!

I’m thankful her family and friends got there soon enough and did what had to be done. Happy ending for sure.

They ate American heroes. Rescued their kin, cleaned up some garbage, and saved taxpayers the cost of an expensive pointless trial and equally expensive incarceration

Some years ago my brother had a girlfriend that he had been with for many years. She had a 20 yr old sister who we had known almost her whole life because she went to school with my daughter.
Missy had got a boyfriend in high school and they started an on again off again relationship. In the meantime she had had 2 babies by him, the last just a few months old.
She had finally moved back in with her parents, decided to dump him, go back to school and get her life going again. He was abusive so she got a restraining order.
He went to her parents home while they were gone and kidnapped her. He took her to a spot by the river that runs through town and when the police surrounded them he shot her and then himself. Tragic.
Glad this one turned out better.

I think you’ll see more of this in the coming zombie apocalypse.
