Scott Raymond Ruckoldt was 48 when he walked away from his Granada Drive home in Columbia, Tennessee, at about 9:00 p.m. on May 16, 2010, after a disagreement with relatives and never returned. Initially thought to have stepped out to cool off, he did not contact family and the absence quickly became a missing person investigation.

At the time he was last seen Scott was described as a white male with brown hair, hazel eyes, a beard, and wearing prescription eyeglasses. He had distinctive tattoos on both forearms and typically dressed in blue jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes; the exact clothing worn that night is not known. Born in Illinois, he had ties to Chicago and Lewisburg, Tennessee.

Years after his disappearance investigators learned Scott had a twin brother, a fact reportedly unknown to some family members in Tennessee. The brother’s possible locations were reported as Las Vegas or Chicago and police hoped to locate him for DNA comparison, but he too proved hard to find. Few concrete leads have emerged and the circumstances after he left the house remain unclear.

If anyone knew Scott, his movements around Columbia on May 16, 2010, or the whereabouts of his twin, please share what you know with the Columbia Police Department.
