I'm reading through the articles on this case and it's unclear to me if Brock was actually scammed or not. Apparently the caller said Brock's family member needed bail which later turned to claims the family member was a hostage held for ransom. It seems Hall was sent to pick the money up.
But did Brock actually believe this story or was he trying to extract vigilante justice by turning the tables on the person he believed was the scammer? If he really thought his family member had been kidnapped would he have killed the collector of the ransom, since in a real scenario that would have ensured his family member would also be murdered?
