Despite numerous efforts to track her down, there has been no cell phone activity, social media updates, or contact with friends and family.
Police Captain John Craig of Northwest Detectives described the situation as alarming. “You have a 23-year-old young lady who has completely disappeared,” Captain Craig stated during a press conference on Wednesday. “We have no cell phone activity, no social media activity, and she has not reached out to family or friends.”

I love her,” said her father, Kevin Scott. “These last few days have been crazy—head spinning—trying to figure out what’s going on.”
Before her disappearance, Scott had reportedly received suspicious phone calls from unknown individuals.
