Madison Scott investigation still open: BC RCMP

We are nearing the two-year mark since the remains of Madison Scott were identified by the BC Coroners Service.

On Wednesday, Mounties confirmed to Vista Radio there have been no new updates on the file and the investigation remains open.

In May of 2023, the BC RCMP confirmed a significant development in the 13-year-old case as the investigation was led by the E-Division’s Major Crimes Unit with the support of the Vanderhoof detachment.

During this time, police executed a search warrant at a rural property on the east side of Vanderhoof, which was associated with the discovery of Maddy.

The investigation remains active and is still being led by the BC RCMP Major Crime-Section Special Projects Unit in support of the Vanderhoof RCMP.

Nearly fourteen years ago, Madison disappeared from Hogsback Lake where she was celebrating a friend’s birthday.

Early in the investigation, police determined that it was out of character for her not to be in contact with family and/or friends. Foul play was suspected.

Scott was considered a vibrant, free-spirited, loyal and, kind individual who immersed herself in family, friends, hockey, softball and, photography.

Anyone with NEW information regarding her disappearance, is asked to call the RCMP at 778-290-5291, 1-877-543-4822 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Scott family continues to offer a $100,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and laying of charge(s) of individual(s) responsible for Madison’s disappearance.
