Taking all these things into account, Steele was shocked to learn Scott was wanted for kidnapping.

“Oh my gosh, wow, yeah that was stunning. I was hoping and praying that it was not true, I hoped it was a mistake in identity or they had the wrong guy, it was very disappointing, heartbreaking.” he said.
