Details of Disappearance
Scales was last seen in bed in her great-grandmother's Wichita, Kansas residence in the 1600 block of north Volutsia Street, near 15th and Hillside Streets, at approximately 12:30 a.m. on September 5, 2001. She was discovered missing at 3:00 a.m. She has never been heard from again. There were no signs of forced entry to the residence. The back door was broken at the time of Scales's disappearance, and therefore was not locked.
Social workers removed Scales's younger brother from their home and placed him in the custody of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services shortly after Scales disappeared, due to concern about living conditions in the residence and about Scales's disappearance. The boy was not returned to his mother's custody until August 2004, almost three years later.
Police are not sure whether or not Scales was abducted. Her mother believes she is still alive. Scales's case remains unsolved.
