Such a sad and crazy story to share with you all. A Louisiana woman, Bethany Arceneaux, was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend and father of her child last Wednesday. Her family said forget waiting for police and went to get her themselves!
Bethany Arceneaux was taken hostage on Wednesday evening by Scott Thomas, her ex-boyfriend and father of her child. A few hours after Marcus Arceneaux was pictured carrying his niece from a vacant house in Duson, a police swat team entered the building and Thomas was found shot dead.
The 29-year-old mother had been stabbed and slashed but is expected to survive, her family said. She has been taken to hospital and is in a stable condition. She was rescued on Friday afternoon when a search party of family and friends confronted Thomas and managed to grab his victim. Police who were also searching nearby rushed to the scene and quickly surrounded the house in a tense stand off that lasted a couple of hours.
Lafayette Police Corporal Paul Mouton told MailOnline the swat team entered the house, ‘shots were fired and the suspect was deceased’ at about 3pm (CST) on Friday. Thomas died of injuries he sustained during the confrontation with Miss Arceneaux’s relatives. According to Captain Kip Judice, of Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s office, the victim’s family shot Thomas, seen below, as they tried to free her from his clutches.

It is amazing to be able to hear of a family rescuing one of their own but it is sad to hear of a fatality and a child with the loss of a father. At least she is safe now. What would you have done?
