Evelyn Woodham, 26, of Tampa, Florida, was found dead in a ditch along 20th Avenue South on November 1, 2016. Investigators determined her death was the result of a violent crime and described it as a murder; her body was discovered a mile and a half from the trailer where police say the killing occurred.

Police arrested two brothers, James Scott and Lewis Scott, after finding trace amounts of blood and other evidence linking them to the scene. Authorities reported James Scott shot Evelyn inside the trailer, witnesses said they saw him dragging her body, and surveillance footage showed suspicious activity by the brothers. Lewis Scott is accused of setting the trailer on fire the next day in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence.

Prosecutors later reduced charges against James Scott, dropping murder and witness tampering counts and leaving only tampering with evidence; he accepted a plea and was sentenced to 20 months in jail. Lewis Scott continued to face charges related to the murder and arson. A makeshift memorial was set up by friends and family. Does anyone have information about Evelyn’s final movements or the trailer’s occupants that could help clarify what happened?
