What they're saying:
Capt. John Craig with PPD called Scott's case "troubling," particularly because "you have a 23-year-old young lady who has completely disappeared. We have no cell phone activity. We have no social media activity. She has not reached out to family or friends."
Even more concerning, Craig said that shortly before she disappeared, Scott told her friends and family that she was being harassed.
Scott's family say this is "completely out of character," according to Craig.
"She's somebody who's in communication with family and friends," Craig said. "She seems to be a very bright energetic woman who enjoys family and friends and this has never happened in her 23 years on Earth."
What we don't know:
Craig says investigators don't know who was harassing Scott, if it was one person or multiple people, or if it might have been someone she knows. With her cell phone off, detectives say they're only able to look at historical data to piece together clues.
Investigators say they're also digging into Scott's social media to try and figure out what may have happened to her.
What you can do:
"No matter what information you have, think of it as a possible piece to a large jigsaw puzzle. If there's 100 pieces to a puzzle, you might think that your piece is insignificant, but without your piece, that jigsaw puzzle is not being solved. So I would plead with you, whatever information you have, reach out to the police."
