Anita Scott, 58, was last seen the evening of February 20, 2003, leaving her Upper Providence Township home on Sycamore Mills Road. She told her husband and son she was going out but did not say where or when she would return. She departed in a silver 1986 Volkswagen Golf, Pennsylvania plate EGA-7600, and was never heard from again.

Five days later the car was found parked at a metered spot on 22nd Street near Market Street in downtown Philadelphia. The vehicle had been ticketed several times and was towed on February 25, 2003. Inside were her eyeglasses, purse, and checkbook; her wallet was missing. Family members say Anita, a Temple Law School graduate who had not practiced for years, lived modestly despite inheriting several million dollars from a late uncle. Her husband, Ridgeley Scott, cooperated with investigators, and the FBI assisted, but authorities reported no evidence of foul play and the case remains a missing person investigation.

In 2005 decomposed remains found in Fulton County, Georgia, prompted a request for DNA comparison; a sample later provided from her son did not match. No arrests or identified suspects have been announced. If anyone knew Anita’s routines, contacts, or saw her Volkswagen in Philadelphia that week, what information can be shared with investigators?
