Thousands of person go missing every day in the world, what significance does this person hold to warrant an entire wikipedia page? - Ranmin ( talk) 15:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
@ Ranmin: Good question. For one, the Madison Scott disappearance and subsequent investigation used a number of tools, both forensic and SAR, unprecedented in BC history for a single missing person. Second, the search effort involved hundreds of people on foot arm-to-arm, searching with unprecedented coverage over such a large area--between Isle Pierre and Fraser Lake (50km) and some distance north-south of this line. Third, they used divers, horseback, and cadaver dogs to search both detailed areas around the lake and helicopter with FLIR, horseback, quadders and vehicles to search wide of the lake. The number of people alone who were actively involved in the search are indicative of how impactful this was to the locals, and the far reaching reports of findmaddy.ca bumper stickers and missing posters, cross continent, indicates that her disappearance has touched people, even at a great distance. All of this is laid out in the article if you spent a few minutes to read it.
Shouldn't the page name be "Maddy Geraldine Scott"? Csgir ( talk) 10:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
The part about the phone stopping pinging at 8am is unsupported / lacks a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wigenstad ( talk • contribs) 11:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Maddy Scott's body was found on 28 May 2023 (which happened to be twelve years to the day after her disappearance); so I think it would be appropriate to change the title to "Death of Maddy Scott". TheJay123 ( talk) 00:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
