Serial Killer Married a Woman to Kill her Daughter

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Kaysi McLeod, LeAnn Emry, Jennifer Marcum, and Terry Kimball with me today.

In the early 2000s, convicted con-man Scott Kimball reinvented himself as a federal informant and used that identity to hide something far darker. After meeting Lori McLeod, he quickly married her, gaining access to her life… and to her 19-year-old daughter, Kaysi McLeod.

Not long after the marriage, Kaysi vanished. Kimball claimed she had run away but investigators would later uncover that he had lured her away and murdered her. Over time, more disappearances emerged around him: Jennifer Marcum, LeAnn Emry, and Tamara Polson all connected to Kimball, all missing.

For years, Kimball fooled law enforcement, family members, and even the FBI, who believed he was assisting them while he continued to kill. It wasn’t until patterns of lies, financial fraud, and forensic evidence began to surface that the truth finally unraveled.

In 2009, Scott Kimball pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and was sentenced to 70 years in prison. The case remains one of the most disturbing examples of manipulation, a predator who used trust, marriage, and authority as weapons.
