143. In the Middle of the Road: HOMICIDE

This week on LOTW, Becky and Bevy take us to St. Clair in January of 2014.That morning, Donna Scrivo reported her adult son, Ramsay Scrivo, missing after he failed to return home the night before. It wasn’t unheard of for Ramsay to step out for cigarettes or wander to a nearby bar, but by morning his phone was quiet and no one had seen him.Donna told police she was especially worried given his mental health history. After the death of Ramsay’s father the year before, he’d struggled — cycling off medication, dealing with legal trouble, and relying more heavily on family support. Donna had even been granted temporary guardianship during that time.Still, in the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Ramsay seemed more stable. He was checking in where he needed to, staying close to home, and trying to move forward after a difficult year.So, when he vanished without a word, it didn’t immediately look like a crime.At first, it looked like a vulnerable man who might be in trouble.Sources for this episode:Reporting from the Detroit Free PressCoverage from MLiveCase filings via JustiaArticles from InsuranceNewsNetCommentary from Jim Fisher True CrimeBackground references compiled by Sportskeeda
