Jacob Blair Scott is accused of raping his then 14-year-old stepdaughter. He is listed by the US Marshals as one of their 15 most wanted. (usmarshals.gov)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jacob Blair Scott has been added to the 15 most wanted list by US Marshals. He is accused of raping his then 14-year-old stepdaughter and impregnating her. When he was supposed to show up in court, he was a no show. When marshals took action to apprehend him, they found a dinghy boat and a suicide note, but not him.<\/p>\n

They conducted a search for days but couldn’t find him. Prior to his disappearance, he pulled $45,000 from the bank. People claimed to have possibly seen him in places like Louisiana, Colorado, Mississippi, and Nevada.<\/p>\n

From Yahoo.com:<\/span><\/p>\n

When authorities attempted to apprehend Scott for failing to appear in court, they found his abandoned dinghy off the coast of Orange Beach, Alabama. Officers found a gun and a note, but very little evidence indicating a suicide, according to US Marshals<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Agencies searched the Gulf of Mexico for Scott’s body for a week but did not find his remains.<\/p>\n

Authorities later alleged that Scott had withdrawn $45,000 from a bank account before his disappearance and there have been possible sightings of him in Mississippi, Colorado, Nevada, and Louisiana.<\/p>\n

“He is a survivalist and a military veteran who received a Purple Heart in 2011 for injuries he sustained while deployed in Iraq<\/span><\/strong>,” Washington said. “His military background and knowledge of the outdoors may enable him to live off the grid<\/span><\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the links used for this post, Jacob Scott is an Army veteran, who received the Purple Heart. According to his mother, he is not the type to own up to his mistakes. Additionally, US Marshals are offering up to $25,000 for information that would lead directly to his arrest.<\/p>\n

Details for this story, and on who to contact if you find him, are located in this Yahoo story<\/a>. US Marshals have public information on him<\/a>. They show him as being “arrested”. The Sun Herald provides more details<\/a> than Yahoo on the story.<\/p>\n
