Details: Linda May Scott was from the Blood Indian Reserve in Alberta. She is a mother of five. Linda loved to be around friends and family and was known to help those around her. Linda was adopted at 3 1/2 months old. She longed to find out about her roots and biological parents and when she turned 18, she filed the paperwork to find out. Linda’s adoptive parents say she was born with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and had a difficult time in school. This also may be the reason that she struggled with the abuse of alcohol and substances. Linda’s adoptive father believes that when someone is struggling with substance abuse, the police don’t take their cases seriously. Linda’s adoptive mother says that she believes that Linda has been murdered by “someone who fathered a child with her”. She shared this with the police as well. It is unclear if they took this seriously or not.

The last time Linda’s family heard from her was in September 2000. She is normally in contact with family at least once a week. Both of her adoptive parents filed a missing persons report.
