In the late autumn of 2017, the life of 35-year-old Mary Elizabeth Timmons Scott of Selma, Alabama, was tragically cut short in a harrowing sequence of events that concluded on November 28th. A dispute over the custody of her two young daughters with her former husband, 63-year-old psychologist Greg Scott, escalated to a fatal conclusion.
The grim discovery unfolded after Greg Scott was found deceased in front of a funeral home, having died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The search for Mary, who had been reported missing, came to a devastating end when her body was found locked in the trunk of a car.
Investigations by Alabama law enforcement determined that Greg Scott had murdered his ex-wife before taking his own life. The murder-suicide left their children orphaned and a community in shock. The case was closed with the identification of Greg Scott as the sole perpetrator, bringing a somber resolution to the tragic loss of Mary Timmons Scott.
