In the year 2000, a 29-year-old mother of five named Linda May Scott vanished, leaving her family desperate for answers. Originally from the Blood Indian Reserve in Alberta, Linda was adopted at a very young age and raised in Edmonton. There are conflicting accounts of her last known whereabouts. Some reports state she was last seen by family in Edmonton in March 2000, while others indicate the last contact was a phone call she made to her father from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside in September of that year. Linda maintained regular contact with her adoptive parents, calling at least once a month, so when the calls suddenly ceased, her family knew something was wrong and filed a missing person's report. Linda's life included personal struggles. Her family disclosed that she contended with alcohol and drug use and had been born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, which presented challenges for her in school. Adopted at just three and a half months old, she was raised by a loving family but always felt a void and a yearning to connect with her biological roots. At 18, she took steps to find her birth mother, though it is unknown if she was successful. Two years before she disappeared, Linda had told her parents that doctors had diagnosed her with cervical cancer and given her only six months to live, though it is unclear if this was true. Her family believes that her personal struggles may have affected how seriously her case was taken by authorities. The investigation into Linda's disappearance has spanned more than two decades and remains an open and unsolved case. Both the Edmonton Police Service and the Vancouver police have been involved due to the uncertainty of where she went missing. Her mother has shared her suspicion that Linda may have been harmed by a man with whom she had a child. At the time of her disappearance, Linda was described as being 5'3" tall and weighing approximately 110 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She had several distinct tattoos, including a tiger on her right arm and a rose on her left arm. Linda May Scott remains classified as a missing person, and her family continues to await any news that might bring them closure.
