Show notes

In the winter of 1980, 41-year-old real estate agent Richard Scott disappeared after meeting a client in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Hours later, he was found murdered. A brutal crime that has remained unsolved for over four decades.

In this episode, Ciaran McConnell speaks with author R.M. Dudley, who has spent years researching the case and working with those who knew Richard best. Together, they explore who Richard Scott really was, what might have led to his death, and why this story still lingers in Wisconsin’s cold case files.
