Career

Scott wrote poetry as a teenager and worked on the Helix High School yearbook during her senior year. Her first full-time newspaper position was as a reporter for the Beach & Bay Press in Mission Beach and Pacific Beach, in 1987. [8] She also freelanced for the Mira Mesa Scripps Ranch Sentinel. [9] She then became business editor of the La Jolla Light weekly newspaper after winning a Best of Show journalism award out of 1,200 entries from the San Diego Press Club. She then moved to a daily paper, the Vista Press, in North San Diego County, part of William McPherson Papers. [10] She left the Vista Press to string as a correspondent for the Associated Press and The San Diego Union-Tribune . While reporting in San Diego, she was a member of the San Diego Press Club.

In 1993, she moved to the Mojave Desert as a crime beat reporter for the Las Vegas Sun , where she worked until 1998, then freelanced for The New York Times and Reuters News Service and wrote true-crime books and biographies. While still at the Sun, in 1997, her first book, The Killing of Tupac Shakur, was released. [11] Huntington Press released the book on the first anniversary of Shakur's death, issuing a 25,000-copy first printing, according to Publishers Weekly , [12] with a second edition released in 2002. The Killing of Tupac Shakur was number 2 on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list in paperback nonfiction the week of June 11, 2000. [13] The Murder of Biggie Smalls the same year made The New York Times bestseller list in nonfiction hardcover the week of October 15, 2000.

Scott and fellow journalist Jeff German were at the murder scene and the first reporters to break the national story in the Las Vegas Sun of the gangland killing in 1997 of Las Vegas and Chicago Outfit mob associate Herbert “Fat Herbie” Blitzstein in Las Vegas. [14] [15]

On her return from Louisiana, she hired on with Best Friends as a staff writer. [18] She sat as the Nevada State Sunshine Chair for ten years, until 2007, and on the Society of Professional Journalists Sunshine Committee. [19]

From 2005 through 2007, Scott wrote a column titled "Crime & Punishment" for the alternative weekly Las Vegas CityLife . [20]

Her sixth book, Pawprints of Katrina: Pets Saved and Lessons Learned, with photos by Clay Myers and foreword by actress Ali MacGraw, [21] was a result of Scott's four months on the Gulf Coast writing about the largest rescue of animals in U.S. history.

In January 2011, Anderson Cooper's 360° blog included Scott in an update on the Tupac and Smalls cases, quoting her as saying that "the failure to secure the actual scene of the shooting and interview witnesses immediately doomed the investigation." [29]

[40] The memoir, Freeway Rick Ross: The Untold Autobiography , was launched at the Eso Won Bookstore in Los Angeles on June 17, 2014, to a standing-room-only crowd. [41]

In May 2014, Scott lodged a complaint with YouTube over a re-created image included in rapper Wyclef Jean's music video "April Showers." The controversy arose after Scott reported to YouTube that no attribution had been given, nor was permission sought for use of an autopsy photo released in Scott's book The Killing of Tupac Shakur. YouTube banned the video. [42] TMZ, which broke the story, reported that video director Hezues R' and Scott had settled the matter and agreed upon a screen credit at the end of the video. [43]

Scott co-authored The Crime Book volume with American crime writers Shanna Hogan, Lee Mellor, Rebecca Morris and British author Michael Kerrigan, with a foreword for the U.S. edition by Scott and the U.K. edition by author Peter James. [49] It was released in April 2017 in the U.K. and May 2017 in the U.S. by Dorling Kindersley (Penguin Random House). In an August 2017 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Scott explained the choice of stories for the book: "We tried to include the famous ones, and then some lesser-known. They needed to be from across the world and across the years and across a variety of crimes." [50]

Scott appeared in 2018 as a cast member in season 2 of The First 48: Marcia Clark Investigates [51] in an episode titled "The Spreckels Mansion." [52] Clark scrutinized the death of Rebecca Zahau, whose body was discovered outside the mansion of her boyfriend Jonah Shacknai, [51] which Scott blogged about for Forbes. [53]

Author Ann Rule called Scott "a star writer in the crowded field of true crime." [54]

Filming in Las Vegas was completed in February 2014 for Death in the Desert, a full-length movie directed and produced by Josh Evans and starring Michael Madsen, Shayla Beesley, [55] Paz de la Huerta, Roxy Saint and Stephen Manley, [56] based on Scott's book Death in the Desert [57] with screenplay by John Steppling.
