A man authorities say faked his death to avoid prosecution in a child rape case has been arrested
A Mississippi man has been arrested after authorities said he faked his own death to avoid prosecution in the alleged rape of his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
Jacob Blair Scott, 43, was arrested Wednesday, the same day he was added to the US Marshals 15 Most Wanted list, according to US Marshals Inspector Jeremy Stilwell.
He allegedly faked a suicide on his boat
The US Marshals said they believed Scott had faked his death to avoid prosecution and could have lived off the grid, thanks to his military training. Officials offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to his arrest.
The hunt for Scott dates back to July 2018, when authorities said he failed to appear for a court hearing while he was out on bond.
Investigators found his abandoned boat off the coast of Orange Beach, Alabama. On board, they discovered a gun and a note – but little forensic evidence of a suicide. They searched for a week in the Gulf of Mexico for his body, but never found his remains.
Investigators later discovered that before Scott disappeared, he withdrew $45,000 from his bank account that was never recovered.
Authorities believe Scott has been in Oklahoma since he vanished nearly two years ago, Stilwell said. He had allegedly changed his identity and was going by the name of Luke.
