Police searched throughout the St. Matthews, South Carolina, neighborhood and the surrounding wooded area, but there was no trace of Paulette Scott.
“We found no signs of her going into the woods. For instance, no signs of tracks. No signs of pushed down brush or grass or any signs that would indicate she actually went into the wood line,” said Calhoun County Sheriff Thomas Summers. “She was a very private person. Said she didn’t socialize much or have many friends. She mainly stayed to herself. She read the Bible a lot and was basically like a loner type of person.”
“There were no indicators she had been abducted. There were no indicators of anything except like she told her mother. She wanted to clear her head,” said Summers. “We’re just really concerned right now because there has been no contact.”
