Diane Scott, a 39-year-old mother and active civic figure in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, vanished in May 2001. Reports differ on the exact day she disappeared, giving dates from May 5 to May 23, 2001. On the morning of May 5 she reportedly dropped a child at school but did not return to pick the child up that afternoon. A missing person report was filed on May 24.

When investigators checked her home on the 2600 block of Jefferson Street they found Diane’s blue Pontiac Sunfire parked outside and her pocketbook, wallet and dentures left inside. She was described as petite, with black hair, brown eyes and a distinctive birthmark on her back. A large tub was also missing from the residence, a container noted as capable of concealing a small person. Family and acquaintances said she was happy with her life, active in her church, enrolled in cosmetology school and had recently bought a new car.

Police have reclassified the case as a homicide and said they believe Diane was the victim of foul play. Her estranged husband was questioned multiple times and was considered a person of interest; reports of prior domestic violence in the relationship were noted but no charges were filed. The investigation grew cold, has since been reopened and detectives have re-interviewed people connected to the case.

If anyone knew Diane, lived near Jefferson Street in 2001, or has information that could help explain what happened that May, please come forward.
