Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP110763) and 3 other sources
In the quiet town of Caneadea, New York, a family was forever changed on the evening of May 1, 2022. On that day, 52-year-old Scott Wilcox, a male resident of the area, was last seen. Reports indicate that he left his home situated near Shongo Valley Road following a disagreement with his wife and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male with brown hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall, and weighing between 155 and 165 pounds. His distinguishing features include several tattoos: a spiderweb on the right side of his neck, a 'Taz' and another design on his arm, and a tattoo on his back.

The days and weeks that followed Scott's disappearance were filled with uncertainty and growing concern for his well-being. The New York State Police in Amity took the lead on the investigation, but despite their efforts, information about his whereabouts remained scarce. The circumstances surrounding his departure after a domestic dispute have left his family and investigators with many unanswered questions. The lack of any significant leads or sightings has only deepened the mystery of what happened to Scott after he walked away from his home that day.

The investigation into Scott Wilcox's disappearance remains an active and open case. Law enforcement continues to seek any information that could lead to a breakthrough. The absence of concrete evidence has made it difficult to piece together the events of that night and the subsequent time that has passed. For his family and community, the lack of closure is an ongoing source of pain. The case serves as a somber reminder of how quickly a person can vanish, leaving behind a void of unanswered questions and a family left to grapple with the unknown. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Scott Wilcox is encouraged to contact the New York State Police.
