Case Story |
|
| |
Move to the Mountains Ends Tragically |
|
| |
In the fall of 1991, Patricia Ann Scoville made the decision to leave her job in Boston, Massachusetts, and move to the mountains of Stowe, Vermont. She wanted to leave the corporate world behind and become a children's ski instructor. But Patricia was never able to enjoy her new life. On October 21, 1991, just 28 days after she arrived, Patricia went on a bike ride to Moss Glenn Falls, a popular hiking trail. She never returned home.
The next day, her roommates filed a missing persons report. When police searched the woods near the falls they found Patricia's bicycle abandoned against a tree. The search continued for ten days.
Volunteers, along with Patricia's family from New York, arrived in Stowe to aid in the search. Then eight days later, on October 29, 1991, Patricia's body was found in a shallow grave about one hundred yards from the top of the falls. |

Parents Of Murdered Woman Become DNA Advocates |
|
| |
Patricia Scoville had been raped and murdered. Investigators were able to extract DNA from Patricia's body that belonged to the killer. However, the DNA did not match any of their suspects. As the years passed, Patricia's parents, David and Ann Scoville, never gave up hope that their daughter's murder would be solved. When they learned that the state of Vermont did not have a convicted sex offender DNA database, they became activists. In 1996, David and Ann successfully petitioned both the states of Vermont and Rhode Island to create DNA databases that would check offenders' DNA against those in the national system CODIS (Combined DNA Indexing System). They have also been successful in getting other states to expand their databases.
In April, 2002, David and Ann Scoville were honored by President Bush for their work as victims' rights advocates. With the determination of David and Ann Scoville, many seemingly unsolvable cases have been closed. |
