Scott Allen Key, 44, vanished from Oakman, Alabama, on April 25, 2009. Few details about the circumstances of his disappearance have been released; he has not been seen or heard from since that date. At the time he went missing he was described as a white male, 5 feet 8 inches tall, 240 pounds, with graying hair and brown eyes. His case is listed as MP23660 and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office is the primary investigating agency.

In early 2019 or 2020 the Doe Network identified similarities between Key’s disappearance and an unidentified set of skeletal remains found in November 2009 in a rural area of Montgomery County, about 120 miles from Oakman. The unidentified remains had a bullet wound to the skull. After the possible link was raised, Walker County investigators contacted the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and reached out to Key’s family for DNA. Key’s son provided a sample that was sent to the Alabama Department of Forensics and NamUs for comparison; results were expected to take considerable time.

Does anyone who knew Scott, his movements in April 2009, or travel between Walker and Montgomery counties have information that could help investigators?
