Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP15551) and 14 other sources
Daniel Leon Scott, a 21-year-old from Murray, Utah, was last seen on January 1, 1997, under suspicious circumstances. He was at home with his 14-year-old sister when a female friend came to their apartment. Scott told his sister that he would be back in 20 minutes but never returned. He left the apartment wearing only shorts, despite the winter weather, and was last seen walking with the unknown woman. This woman was described as being in her early twenties, with dark blond hair and blue eyes.

At the time of his disappearance, Scott was reportedly involved in a case of arson, for which federal agents had allegedly approached him to wear a wire to implicate others involved. His mother speculated that this may have contributed to his disappearance. Another theory suggests that Scott might have been paid to disappear, as he had mentioned receiving an offer of $7,000 to leave town. Despite these theories, Scott's disappearance remains unsolved, and his family still seeks answers. His sister continues to hold out hope that one day they may learn the truth.

The case is considered suspicious, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Murray City Police Department.
