This week, Brittany takes the lead in covering the unsolved murder of Dorothy Jane Scott. In 1980, Dorothy Scott went missing while waiting for a friend at the hospital. No traces of her disappearance were ever found until four years later, when her skeletal remains were found buried at a construction site. Her killer was never found, with little to no suspects. Join Briana and Brittany as we discuss the case and who we think could have been the one to take Dorothy Scott away from her family.
