       > U.S. marshals have launched a manhunt in Denver for a fugitive
       Army veteran from Mississippi suspected of faking a suicide to
       avoid imprisonment in a child rape case.
       >
       > Jacob Blair Scott, 42, who was with the Army for 11 years,
       went on the lam in Alabama July 30.
       >
       > His mother and two siblings live in Denver, KMGH-TV reports.
       Marshals went in December to an apartment building in Denver and
       spoke to a worker who said he saw Scott.
       >
       > Scott, of Moss Point, disappeared after agreeing to plead
       guilty to raping a 14-year-old Mississippi girl more than a
       dozen times, according to the station.
       >
       > Initially, investigators suspected Scott killed himself on a
       sailing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. They found a gun and suicide
       note in his dinghy, which was empty and drifting in the water.
       The gun was found tied to the boat.
       >
       > But no body was ever found despite a week-long search,
       arousing suspicion.
       >
       > The lack of blood in the dinghy also raised questions.
       >
       > "Normally in situations where somebody is shot, committed
       suicide, you're going to have other forensic-type evidence. For
       example, brain matter, hair, skin, bone,” Deputy U.S. Marshal
       Katrina Crouse told the station. “None of that was found."
       >
       > Equally odd was finding the gun tied to the boat.
       >
       > “Almost like they wanted to make sure that the gun was
       discovered,” Crouse said, according to the station.
       >
       > The Biloxi Sun Herald reported in June that Scott was
       diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after his military
       service. He joined the Army in 1996 and left in 2007.
       >
       > The paper reported that Scott faced life in prison if a jury
       convicted him of all the charges.
