Vanderhoof-area event will mark second anniversary of young woman’s disappearance (from the Province Newspaper)


By Frank Luba, The Province May 21, 2013

What happened to Madison Scott remains a sad mystery, almost two years after the Vanderhoof woman disappeared after camping at Hogsback Lake, 25 kilometres southeast of her hometown.

Family, friends and the general public are being invited to a search of the area Saturday, May 25, which is as close as possible to the May 28, 2011 weekend when the 20-year-old went to a party and was last seen at around 3 a.m.

Her off-white, early 1990s Ford F-150 pickup and two-tone blue tent were left at the lake but, despite an extensive search, no other trace was ever found of Scott, who is Caucasian, stands 5-foot-4, weighs 170 pounds and has ginger-coloured hair.

Saturday’s search is the second On The Trail to Find Maddy Poker Ride, which is a competition divided into divisions for walkers, quad all-terrain vehicles and horses who go through checkpoints to assemble poker hands.

Wayne Woods, one of the event’s organizers and a friend of Maddy’s parents Eldon and Dawn Scott, said the area has been searched extensively already, “but everyone is asked to keep their eyes open” for any clues.

The event is more about keeping the hunt for Maddy in the public’s awareness, according to Woods.

“The message we’re trying to get out there is that if anyone has any information — we’re just trying to keep it foremost in people’s minds — that they need to come forward with it,” said Woods.

“Even if it’s a small detail, it can turn into something relevant,” he said. “We haven’t given up hope that she’ll be found and we’re not going to stop looking.”

While the area is remote, it’s not immune to problems — but not like Maddy vanishing.

“Things have happened, for sure,” conceded Woods. “But not like this, where there’s been just no answers at all.”

Her disappearance is still a concern for the community.

“In a small town, normally when something happens you hear rumours and people talk, and what not,” said Woods. “But there just hasn’t been a whisper about anything about Madison.

“It’s like she disappeared and no one knows anything,” he said.

The family offered a reward of $15,000, which was increased to $25,000 and is now at $100,000.

A video re-enactment of the story was done by RCMP, and Maddy’s disappearance was included in a documentary on the Highway of Tears, the route between Prince George and Prince Rupert along which 18 women have gone missing or been murdered.

Maddy was even part of CBS television’s 48 Hours focus on the Highway of Tears, although Woods said neither the family nor police believe she is part of that tragedy.

Prayer Warriorette > … throughout reading this book I thought about Madison …


Recently I read a book titled The Shack; throughout reading this book I thought about Madison and Alberta’s Grandparents, all very well loved and still missing.Even though we don’t know any of the missing people on a personal-level, they still have impacted our lives. We continue to pray for each to be found. We pray for those that may be with-holding any information to their whereabouts to do the right thing. Its sad that there are such heartless people out there who can harm such innocent people like Madison

. However, we must continue to pray for the Creator’s Love to shine where there is evil and darkness; we continue to stand in loving prayers and support for Madison to be found. Someone knows something, so let us gather in prayers for that individual/s – may his/her/their conscience and heart be awoken.

L. W. > …I’ve seen posters in corner stores in Penticton …


Just thought I’d let everyone know, I moved to Kelowna two months ago and I’ve seen posters in corner stores in Penticton and I see multiple vehicles with FindMaddy.com stickers and posters all over. This makes me very proud to say I’ve come from Vanderhoof. Such a strong community!

  • D. L. > thats wonderful to hear xx
  • T.P. >  I was just there and it was great to see so many Maddy posters
  • J. H. > We ARE a strong community, tragic to think that there are people here who have the knowledge to set Maddy free but choose instead to harbour it within themselves.
