Anita Scott was 58 when she left her Upper Providence Township, Pennsylvania, home on the evening of February 20, 2003. After dinner she told her husband and son she was going out, offered no destination, walked to her silver 1986 Volkswagen Golf around 6:00 p.m., and was never seen or heard from again. Her husband reported her missing two days later; he said she had disappeared briefly in the past, a claim her family later disputed.

About five days after she vanished the Golf was found parked at a metered spot on 22nd Street near Market Street in downtown Philadelphia. The car had been ticketed several times before it was towed on February 25, 2003. Inside were Scott’s eyeglasses, purse, and checkbook; her wallet was missing. The vehicle was parked near her late uncle’s former residence. Scott had inherited several million dollars but reportedly lived modestly; her bank accounts have not been touched since she disappeared.

The Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI have investigated; no suspects have been named and no arrests announced. A set of remains found in Georgia in 2005 did not match Scott by DNA. Does anyone have information about Anita’s movements on the evening of February 20, 2003, or recall seeing that Volkswagen in Philadelphia that week?
