Robert Leonard Ewing Scott (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Leonard Ewing Scott (1897-15 August 1987) was an American convicted murderer. Scott was convicted in 1959, in California, of having murdered his wife; the case was one of the first to establish a "bodyless" murder, that is, a murder in which no body had been discovered to bear out that there had been a crime committed. L. Ewing Scott, and his wife Evelyn Throsby Scott (ne Mumper), having met at a society party and married in Mexico, shared a considerable wealth that Evelyn possessed prior to their marriage. After five years of marriage, on May 16, 1955, Evelyn went missing. Concerned friends were given various explanations by Scott- that Evelyn had been hospitalized, or had run off. In July, 1955, Leonard Scott began a relationship with a divorcee named Harriet Livermore.
