It's been 6 months since Anna Marie Scott was found murdered in trunk of burning car on I-580 freeway
Submitted by Kelsey Penrose on Tue, 06/28/2022 - 11:50amNext week will mark 6 months since the body of 23-year-old Anna Marie Scott was found inside the trunk of a vehicle left on the highly-trafficked bridge between Carson City and Reno. Just after 4 a.m., the car was set on fire and abandoned. There were no witnesses and, though there are cameras set up along the I-580 freeway for traffic reasons, those cameras apparently do not record but instead only relay a live-shot to those watching.
It was later determined that Scott had been fatally shot before the car was set aflame.
