Vanderhoof resident Madison ‘Maddy’ Scott was 20 at the time of her disappearance during a camping trip 0n May 27, 2011.
Scott attended a party with friends at Hogsback Lake, a forest service campsite about 25 kilometers south of Vanderhoof.

She remained on her own in her tent and has not been seen since.
Her parents, Dawn and Eldon Scott, are urging anyone with information to come forward in a statement provided to RCMP.
These are not easy times – our daughter is still missing and we need your help. We have learned a lot through this process, but one thing that has become apparent is that information is what drives an investigation. There is no excuse not to call the police with what you know. There is no way to rationalize talking about this case with others and not the police. ” said Dawn and Eldon Scott.
“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to cancel The All In For Maddy 9th Poker-Ride for this year however if needed, it will be hosted again next year,”
RCMP are continuing to follow up and investigate any tips received regarding the case.
“We believe that something criminal may have occurred between 4 and 8:30 a.m. on May 28, that led to her disappearance, we do not believe she simply walked away. We know someone out there has information that can help us find Maddy or identify the person(s) responsible,” added Sgt Matt MacLeod of the North District Major Crime Unit.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Vanderhoof RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
