The family found out where she was being held, but police weren't responding. So the family took matters into their own hands. She was found battered and bloody, with multiple knife wounds. Her captor, the father of her two-year-old son was killed.
Judice said that while events indicate that the family members acted to protect Arceneaux, police are still investigating the incident. It is not clear whether any of the Arceneaux family will face charges.
