Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP65424) and 3 other sources
In the late summer of 2017, a sense of unease began to settle over a family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Scott Edward Corkern, a 56-year-old man, had vanished without a trace. The last confirmed sighting of Scott was on September 7, 2017, at a bank situated on the busy stretch of Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge. At the time of his disappearance, he was described as a white male, standing at an imposing six feet four inches tall and weighing around 205 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. When he was last seen, he was wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans. Following his visit to the bank, all communication from Scott ceased, and he has not been seen or heard from since, leaving his loved ones in a state of perpetual uncertainty.

The circumstances surrounding Scott's disappearance are shrouded in mystery, with very few details available to the public. Although the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation, and a report was filed on August 9, 2018, the case has yielded little in the way of concrete answers. Investigators have stated that they suspect foul play was involved in his disappearance, a possibility that only deepens the concern for his well-being. Despite the passage of time, his case remains an open and active investigation, a painful reality for those who continue to hope for his return.

The lack of new information has made the search for Scott a challenging and often heart-wrenching endeavor. His case has been registered with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System under the number MP65424, a public-facing database that serves as a clearinghouse for missing persons cases across the country. Information has been shared through various platforms in an effort to generate new leads, but the trail has grown cold. The overview of this case is one of sudden and unexplained absence. A man goes about a routine errand at a local bank and is never heard from again, leaving a void in the lives of his family and a perplexing case for law enforcement.
