    Gary Plauche is another person who took justice into his own hands over the kidnapping and rape of his son back in the 1980s.

    Plauche learned that the suspect was being flown back to town in police custody, and figured out the flight he was on. He waited at the airport, pretending to be using a pay phone. As the suspect was escorted past him he walked up and shot him in the head at almost point blank range. A local TV station caught it all on camera and I think you can still find it if you search for it.

    Plauche was ultimately convicted of manslaughter but was given a suspended sentence, probation, and community service. No jail time.
