[Ashley speaking]
It's really neat to watch it back and be like,
"Oh, my goodness. We were so silly back then."
[Jimmy] There was some fun years for 'em growing up
Yeah, I wish I could go back to them days.
[Lori] We were starting live
you know, in different places.
We were very excited.
I didn't know
that that would have been a warning sign.
This perfect life was all a facade.
[dispatcher speaking]
[detective] I've worked close to 1,300 death investigations
and only two 911 calls
really got my attention. And this was one of them.
[dispatcher speaking]
[man speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
None of us ever realized what was truly going on.
[dispatcher speaking]
[Ashley speaking]
[narrator] February 1990...
[Ashley speaking]
[narrator] 11-year-old Ashley Pittman
goofs around with best frien Erin Russell at Erin's hous in Bossier City, Louisiana.
[Ashley speaking]
My friends and I, we loved to slide down the stairs.
We would use a piece of foam usually
that was covered in cloth, and we would use a beanbag.
We would try different things to lay on top and slide down the stairs.
And it was just really a funny thing
that we used to love to do.
Ashley and I started doing videos.
We were probably about ten years old.
She was a natural in front of a camera. She was just full of life, very entertaining.
[Ashley speaking]
When we had the video camera out, Ashley
would come to life. But Ashley was always kind of on all the time.
So she was the same person even when the camera was off.
-[girl speaking] -[Ashley speaking]
[Erin] But she did love being an entertainer.
And she would easily make friends with others.
She's very bubbly, very outgoing.
So I think that's just her personality.
And so that's what we would always capture
when we were on film togethe
Ashley and I grew up in Bossier City, Louisiana,
and went to the same elementary school at Sun City Elementary.
And we met in kindergarten,
and we met one day on the playground
and just instantly kind of clicked.
[Ashley speaking]
[Erin] We did spontaneous things.
You know, we would make videos, music videos,
or just film ourselves, you know, having a cooking show.
And she would just always make me laugh.
So this was the start of our music video.
We're pretending like we're driving through town.
We're pretending to drive her dad's truck.
And Ashley is...
we're bouncing up and down dressed up like guys.
Oh, gosh, it's funny.
[Jimmy] They got in my old truck.
Oh, man.
That's been so long ago since I had that old truck.
[narrator] Ashley's dad, Jimmy Pittman,
met his wife Donna when she was already pregnant with Ashley.
Jimmy has a five-year-old daughter, Kecia, from a previous relationship.
Ashley was born on November 4, 1978.
She was a tiny little thing
She was only about four pounds when she was born.
Ashley was my sister by adoption, so
she was raised by my biological dad from the time she was born.
[Jimmy] Ashley was my daughter.
Her real dad gave me permission to adopt her,
and that's what I wanted to do,
where we could be a whole family.
[Kecia] Donna was a really strong mom.
You know, it was her way or the highway.
But that strictness, I think,
came out of her wanting the best possible lives for us.
[Jimmy] I worked for the railroad for 37 years.
I worked hard, you know,
Donna didn't have to work, and I wasn't home a lot of times. I would stay busy.
[Kecia] Jimmy was a loving dad.
I think that they were two people that
did the best that they could to,
you know, provide us with
good education,
a Christian environment, you know, with church.
It was a good place to be brought up for sure.
[Lori] Ashley and I met in the fifth grade.
We had every class together and we instantly
hit it off as friends.
Ashley and I loved the New Kids on the Block.
They were a very popular band back then.
And we spent many hours
arguing over who was going to marry Jordan Knight.
Every now and then, we would cave into one another
and settle on another member of the band.
But we both had our eyes on Jordan, for sure.
In the summer of 1990, we were
really excited because the New Kids on the Block were coming to town
and tickets were very hard to find.
And so Jim, Ashley's dad, took us to
sleep outside all night long and camp out for these tickets.
Jim just doted on Ashley and thought that
she was the greatest thing. And so naturally,
he accepted us, her friends, and treated us like
we were his children too.
Ashley had a magnetic personality.
She did not meet a stranger
She was just very outgoing and very spunky.
[narrator] In the fall of 1990,
Donna makes a decision that shatters Ashley's world
She came home one day and she said, "Well, I'm leaving."
And I said, "What do you mean you're leaving?"
She said, "I'm gonna leave on Ashley's birthday.
And I said, "Why are you going to do that, Donna?"
I said, "You don't do stuff like that. That's your child."
She loaded up in her car and she left.
I would like to know exactly myself what was going on.
But, you know, I didn't-- There wasn't no way I could find out.
I would never believed she would have done anything like that.
Never in my lifetime I wouldn't have believed that.
[Kecia] I remember having conversations with Donna
where she would talk about n being happy in the marriage
So I think she did that thinking that that was
going to be what was best for us at that point in time.
I think that I knew that that was coming.
But, you know, Ashley was
so much younger that I think it was probably pretty unexpected for her.
[Jimmy] Ashley, she was in tears.
I wouldn't want anybody to go through what Ashley went through.
Her heart was broken,
from her mama leaving.
[narrator] Donna remarries and settles in Kansas.
Ashley stays in contact with her mom
through phone calls and occasional visits.
[Kecia] We still would visit and go shopping
and go out to eat and stuff that we would do with her,
you know, just ordinarily.
[narrator] Ashley adjusts to the new family setup,
and she appears to be her old bubbly self by October 1991.
[Lori] Ashley was the cheer captain
for our eighth grade middle school cheer team.
We cheered for the Eagles at Elm Grove Middle School.
We cheered at football games, basketball games.
We did pep rallies. And it was a lot of fun.
Riley. Ashley. Amber. Julie.
[Erin] If I wasn't behind the camera, it was usually
one of my parents. They would come to assemblies or to football games.
[cheerleaders speaking]
Ashley was the perfect cheerleader because
she was so enthusiastic, just naturally
happy, energetic, always smiling,
you know, get the crowd involved.
[Lori] I think Ashley knew that she was a strong person
She would help you find ways to deal with
hard times in your life.
I think that just both of us being together
was probably what kept us both focused on our future.
Things are gonna be great. That was our plan.
[Jimmy] Ashley was a happy, carefree teenager.
Even though they didn't have a mama for a long time,
she still had a happy home.
And I made sure of that.
She always had something going on with some of her little friends.
-[Ashley speaking] -[Erin speaking]
February 1992,
Ashley and I are in the kitchen at my house.
Please stop it, I'm [indistinct].
-I can't talk now. -[Ashley speaking]
Of course, we had our eyes on some cute boys,
so we decided to make some cookies to
give to some cute boys for Valentine's Day.
[Ashley speaking]
[Erin speaking]
[Ashley speaking]
[Erin] Oh, the cookies were definitely in hearts.
So we tried to make them Valentine themed cookies.
And after we made them,
Ashley and I put icing, you know, pink icing on them.
I think we added some sprinkles, you know,
to make them look cute.
And that was our gift for our, um,
we were hoping, soon to be Valentine.
I don't think Ashley needed to bake any cookies
to give to a boy to get his attention
'cause she was beautiful. She was gorgeous,
so fun to be around, fun loving.
I mean, who wouldn't want to be around Ashley?
[Jimmy] All of them boys loved Ashley.
And I didn't let her start dating till she got 16 years old.
And I said, "'Cause you're still a baby.
You know, you need to wait till you get grown
to do all these things as there's a certain time in life for everything."
[church minister speaking]
Ashley, Lori, and I were very involved in our church.
We went to First Baptist Bossier.
[church minister speaking]
We had a wonderful student ministry, and he, you know,
preached about that true love should wait.
Ashley and Lori and I, we we all very committed for sure
Ashley was definitely a little boy crazy.
But you all dream about one day finding
that one special person.
We wanted to save ourself for that special person.
[Lori] Our graduation year was '96.
It was a very fancy night in our high school gym.
[Erin] Ashley was actually a part of the committee
that helped to decorate and, you know,
organize the event.
And so she got to present one of the awards.
[Ashley speaking]
[Erin] And here she at Ring Ding the Oscar night,
just gorgeous.
She looks like a movie star
I'd hate taking her lookin' for prom dresses 'cause she...
it had to be... it had to be something else.
[Ashley speaking]
She looked sharp. Sharp as a tack.
Yeah. Yeah.
[narrator] Ashley and Lori choose to attend the same college after they graduate
Ashley said, "I'll go wherever you go, Lori.
So just tell us where we're going to college."
[narrator] Lori selects Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas.
She and Ashley start there in the fall of 1996.
It's hard, always hard when your kids leave,
you know, as they start college 'cause you worry about them.
And I thought to myself, "Well, if something happens
she can always call me."
We stayed in touch pretty often.
And I would say at least once a week,
you know, I'd call and see how she was doing.
I missed her. I missed Ashley.
[Lori] Ashley was a good time girl at college
The county that Ouachita Baptist was in
at the time was a dry county
There weren't a whole lot of parties.
She would just find things to do for entertainment.
It was kind of hard to find
good entertainment in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
I think Ashley knew her strength
and knew her power and even probably knew her beauty.
But deep down, she probably felt a void.
[narrator] In 1998.
Ashley meets 22-year-old business major Jeffrey Scott
[Lori] Ashley met Jeff throu a mutual friend in college.
She really liked Jeff because
I think she saw him as somebody that
was reserved and quiet and maybe...
maybe she felt like she coul bring him out of his shell.
[Jimmy] I wanted Ashley to find somebody nice,
a good Christian man, and a college person
that's going to have an education like her.
Ashley said, "Oh, yeah, Daddy, he's nice.
And he's not going to hurt me or nothing."
[Lori] Jeff's family was upper middle class.
Mom and Dad are still married.
Jeff's mom would take care of things in the home.
Jeff's dad was the owner of a company.
It was quite different from Ashley's upbringing.
And I think just that whole just family dynamic was very intriguing to her.
[narrator] Ashley returns home for the wedding of her friend Erin
a few months after she meets Jeffrey.
[Erin] Neil and I got married on March 21, 1998,
and we got married at our home church,
First Baptist Bossier where Ashley and Lori and I went to church together.
So Ashley and I did not get to marry
our New Kids on the Block crushes.
So we missed out.
I didn't... I didn't marry Joey.
And she... she didn't marry Jordan.
I knew she had met Jeffrey,
but it wasn't a serious relationship or anything at that point.
But, you know, she did mention who he was and everything
and talked about him.
Ashley thought Jeffrey's family was the ideal family,
you know, that they had it all
and they wanted her to be a part of their lives as wel
And so on the outside looking in, it looked like everything was great.
[Kecia] In 1999, Ashley had gone back to spend Christma
with Jeffrey and the Scotts
and she had been unreachable,
couldn't get in touch with her.
And it just seemed unusual.
And then that whole last semester of her senior year of college, same thing.
[Jimmy] A couple of times, I called up there and asked Ashley
and they told me she wasn't there.
So I told them, I said, "When she gets in, how about having her call me?"
I called up there two or three more times,
and then Ashley called me one day and she said,
"They don't want you calling here no more, Daddy."
And I said, "Why"?
She said, "Well, I can't...
I can't have anything to do with you anymore"
I'm gonna send you a letter."
[Kecia] About a week or two later,
I get a letter in the mail from Ashley and
she says that I don't know her and that she's...
You know, it's time for her to start a new life
and that she has the opportunity to do that with Jeffrey
and please respect her wishe
and please don't try to contact her.
It didn't make sense.
It wasn't like there was a clear explanation of why.
There were things that went through my head, like,
maybe she thinks that we're not high society enoug
to be around his family or
maybe Ashley was embarrassed,
you know, of the family of origin she came from.
Christmas of 2000, Ashley finally got what she wanted
and Jeff proposed.
Ashley thought that she had hit the jackpot.
She was ecstatic.
She was so happy and thrilled
to be engaged to Jeff.
Jeff and Ashley were married June 9, 2001,
at Forest Hill Baptist Churc in Germantown, Tennessee.
And after the ceremony,
they held their reception at the Germantown Country Club.
Ashley was beautiful at the wedding,
and she was just... she was so happy.
The wedding was already a little bit different becau
she had moved to Tennessee,
and she had a completely different life.
There were more people that I didn't know than that I did know.
It wasn't necessarily alarming.
It was more a feeling of we were in Jeff's world.
[Kecia] Ashley didn't invite us to the wedding.
At that point,
we hadn't heard from her since, you know, I had gotten my letter.
[Jimmy] And I couldn't walk her down the aisle.
You know, I'm her father. That shouldn't... that shouldn't happen.
[narrator] Ashley and Jeffrey buy a house
in the exclusive Memphis suburb of Cordova.
Jeffrey works for his father's IT company.
Ashley embarks on a career as a high school teacher.
[Lori] In January of 2004,
she was teaching English at Bolton High School.
And she could not wait
to impact the lives of students
and to teach them all of the things that she loved to read.
[Erin] I was so excited for Ashley to become a teacher
because I know her love of reading and books.
Her favorite subject was English.
-[man speaking] -[Ashley speaking]
-[man speaking] -[Jodie speaking]
Ashley was in charge of the prom in 2006,
which was the perfect job for her because,
number one, she loved a party.
[man speaking]
[Ashley speaking]
[Lori] I remember distinctl talking to her after prom
and she would walk through the crowd of the dancing high school students
at prom with a pool noodle
trying to separate them because she said they were dancing too close.
Really, she didn't think they were dancing too close.
But she just she loved the role of having some authority
to tell someone not to do something
that she certainly would have been doing if she was in high school.
[Erin] September 2006
was such an exciting time
because it was our ten-year reunion from graduating from high school
and Ashley came to town.
We were so excited because we hadn't seen her in so long.
[Lori] At the reunion, Ashley was just as fun
and happy as she always was
We ate. There was dancing.
We hadn't seen these people for years and years,
and it was really fun to be back together.
And she was just happy.
[Erin] The only thing that I noticed when she was in to
is that Jeffrey called her on the phone
and you could hear him talking to her,
"What are you wearing? What are you doing?
Who are you talking to? Have you been drinking?"
You know, just questioning her,
the tone of his voice, you could tell that he was very aggravated
or agitated with her because she was here.
I never sensed that from him when I met him or from what Ashley had told me.
[phone ringing]
[Lori] After the reunion, there were a few weeks when
Ashley would not return my calls.
So Jeff started calling me
and telling me that Ashley was drinking a lot
and that he was really concerned that she was
often drinking so much that she was falling down,
waking up with bruises,
and that he was just worried about the path
that she was headed down.
[narrator] Jeffrey reveals that police had charged Ashl
with drunk driving in August 2005.
[Lori] He indicated that he was concerned that,
you know, she was in a self-destructive state.
Which I found strange.
I knew that Ashley drank but not to the extent
that he was making it out to be.
And so it did not sound like Ashley at all.
You know, I had not talked to Ashley, and so
I only knew his side of the story.
During this time, I would try to call her
and tell her what he was saying, but she wouldn't answer my calls.
[phone buzzing]
She tried to call me that Thanksgiving.
I woke up to a missed call.
She did not leave a voicemail.
So I went to Thanksgiving dinner,
called her on the way and left a message.
She didn't call back, but
I wish I could have gotten that call.
I had no idea of what was to come next.
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
On Thanksgiving afternoon,
a male calls 911 to report that his wife was unconscious and that he needed help.
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]

[Jeffrey speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[Dr. McGee speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[Tim] Jeffrey called his friend Roger McGee,
who is a doctor, to come over and check on her.
[narrator] Dr. McGee arrived at the Scotts' home
at 3:45 that afternoon. He told Jeffrey to call 911 immediately.
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[Dr. McGee speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[Tim] I've worked close to 1,300 death investigations
and only two 911 calls really got my attention.
And this was one of them.
The callousness, the fact th she had been unconscious sin
11:00 and this is in the afternoon,
the dispatchers, they were just they were really upset with this.
[dispatcher 1 speaking]
[dispatcher 2 speaking]
[dispatcher 1 speaking]
[dispatcher 2 speaking]
[dispatcher 1 speaking]
[dispatcher 2 speaking]
[dispatcher 1 speaking]
[dispatcher 2 speaking]
They hear all this bad stuff every day, and this really shook them up.
[narrator] EMS arrives 5 minutes after Jeffrey calls 911.
They find Jeffrey's wife, Ashley Scott, in an upstairs bedroom.
[Tim] Roger McGee was performing some CPR on her.
She's got blood coming out her ear, her nose,
vomiting blood out of her mouth.
She's bruised.
Her lips are swollen and split open.
And she had a very faint pulse.
She's in really bad shape.
The paramedics took over and then they rushed her to the hospital.
But there was nothing anybody could do for her at this point.
Ashley Scott was pronounced dead at 7:52 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day 2006.
Jeff's dad told me that Ashley had died the night before,
and I was in complete shock.
And I was asking him, like, "What happened?
Was she in an accident? Was she sick?"
He said he did not really know.
And I said, "You have to know something."
And it was like, in that instant, I knew.
[Erin] It was just so shocking.
It was a nightmare. And you feel like you're gonna wake up, but
you don't because it really happened.
And it happened to your close friend.
[Jimmy] All I want her to do is come back and tell me she loved me.
That's all I care about. Just come back, just come back home.
[Tim] The initial officers got on the scene and they
naturally asked Jeffrey what happened.
Jeffrey said that he struck his wife
and she tripped and fell due to the alcohol that she had consumed.
And he said it was just a one time hit and she fell
[Karen] Somebody who is unconscious
and they're bleeding and vomiting is a very,
very bad sign of some very serious head trauma.
Jeffrey Scott did not have a kind of criminal background
so there was nothing to indicate that there was going to be
any kind of escalation that would result in Ashley Scott's death.
[Tim] Jeffrey claimed that he got into an argument with Ashle
over a phone call or text message that Ashley had received.
Because they had both been drinking, things got out of hand quickly
and it actually got physical at that point.
He threw her out and put her in the garage.
He left her there all night
and in the morning, he found that she was still unconscious.
He eventually dragged her back in in front of the fireplace.
And after a time frame,
eventually, he picked her up and put her in the bed
and she was still unconscious, bleeding.
And that's when he called his friend Dr. McGee.
[narrator] But the extent of Ashley's injuries sugges
that Jeffrey's account is not the whole story.
[Tim] The autopsy showed that she had bruises from
literally the tops of her feet to the top of her head
She had a fractured skull, subdural hematoma.
The brain swelling was so ba it was forcing the brainste
down in the spinal column.
These were devastating injuries.
[Karen] She had what appeared to be a shoe print on her torso.
This isn't something that somebody would get by just falling over
or falling down drunk.
There's just too many blows to the head for that to happen.
[Tim] There were pattern injuries
There were old injuries.
It's obvious that this is an abusive relationship.
Jeffrey was arrested on the scene,
so he was taken into custody at that point,
and he was advised of his rights,
and he declined to give a statement at that time.
We took pictures of Jeffrey's hands, and his hands were clean.
They weren't bruised, they weren't swollen.
So he had to beat her with something,
some kind of object
to create this 'cause he would have been injured some way himself.
Jeffrey Scott was charged with aggravated assault
as a result of the investigation on
Thanksgiving eve.
That was later upgraded to first degree murder
after the death of Ashley
and as a result of all the information that we were able to obtain.
After we got to Ashley's phone records,
we learned that about a week before
Ashley's murder, she called Lori from a closet in her house.
Ashley had called me, and she was whispering.
She told me she was afraid.
She and Jeff had gotten in a big fight.
He was just really, really mad at her.
I was just kind of in disbelief.
She had found out that he had prostitutes over
when she was in town for the reunion,
but also that Jeff had had an affair with Blair Brown.
[Karen] Blair Brown was a coworker of Jeffrey Scott
She worked at the IT company with Jeffrey
and met Ashley Scott as a result of working with her husband.
[Tim] Quite naturally, after the affair became known to Ashley,
Blair and Ashley's friendshi you know, kind of waned.
After about a year or so, Ashley reached out to Blair
and they rekindled their friendship.
Blair was an incredible witness
that she was able to give a lot of background between Ashley and Jeffrey.
Blair had seen Jeffrey around Ashley
and had seen how he would treat her
and talk down to her and had even seen him
actually push her and assault her,
you know, during the course of their friendship.
[Tim] Ashley had gone over to Blair's house
to get away from Jeffrey after an argument.
And Jeffrey busted in the do
and went in and started assaulting Ashley.
And Blair had to jump in between them and separate them.
She knew a side of Jeffrey that
we would not have known had she not talked with us,
and we've now got an actual eyewitness to an assault on her.
[Karen] By November 22nd, the day before she died,
Ashley had already decided that she was going to leave,
and she had gotten in contact with the attorney
and said she had the filing fee and wanted to divorce Jeffrey.
[Tim] Ashley's divorce attorney, she had seen
evidence of injuries, bruises, black eyes,
and that Ashley had told her that Jeffrey
dragged her by the hair through the house.
This had obviously been going on for a long time,
long before the night that she was killed.
[Karen] The lawyer said, "Do not go home.
Pack your stuff and leave."
But Ashley felt some sense of obligation
to the Scott family to explain to them
why she was leaving the family.
Ashley felt compelled to tell
Jeffrey Scott that that's what's happening,
which is the most dangerous time
for any woman in a domestic violence relationship.
She had already started putting clothes in the trunk of her car.
In all likelihood her tellin him that she was gonna leave
that he was losing control over her,
that he could no longer control her life,
that would tip him over the edge.
[narrator] At trial, prosecutors present the even
that led to Ashley's death.
[Karen] Ashley Scott finally was able to get the courage up
to leave Jeffrey Scott.
In Jeffrey's mind, she wasn't going to walk out of that marriage.
She was going to die.
The altercation or the fight started
probably in the living room around the fireplace
where one vase was broken.
He's hitting her in her face in her head.
He's yanking on her.
He was beating her throughout the house.
We have evidence that something happened in the garage,
we have evidence that something happened in front of the fireplace.
She's got bruises.
And if she falls down, when he punches her,
that's when he's going to be able to be able to put that... Kick her,
where the shoe print would come into play.
He was kicking her just like a rag doll.
He didn't really care. She was...
she was just nothing to him.
And so he was just
beating her and kicking her to death.
When Jeffrey Scott called 91
it was about 3:46 in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Da
But she had actually been unconscious for 12 to 15 hours at this point
and he had done nothing to get her any assistance.
Jeffrey Scott could have called 911 immediately himself.
He called his friend.
It took him over an hour to get to the house,
and he waited for his friend to get there, who then told him to call 911.
[narrator] Dr. Roger McGee was unaware of Jeffrey's attack on Ashle
He told Jeffrey to call 911
as soon as he saw the extent of Ashley's injuries
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[Dr. McGee speaking]
[dispatcher speaking]
[Jeffrey speaking]
[judge speaking]
[Karen] On January 19, 2009,
three years after Ashley's death, the jury came back with a verdict.
[judge speaking]
[Tim] In Tennessee, for a first degree murder verdic
you have to have all 12 jurors agree.
And in this case, one did not.
So it came back to a second degree murder.
[Karen] The judge sentenced Jeffrey Scott to 25 years without parole.
Once we started to learn abo Ashley Scott and her family
it was very clear that Jeffrey Scott had done everything
in order to make Ashley ashamed
of her background
to the point that it seemed like brainwashing,
that she didn't have a family at all.
That's one of the major trai of a domestic violence abuse
is that they try to isolate you from your family and your friends
so that ultimately you have no place to go.
[Kecia] All these years late I can look back at the lette
and I just have to wonder how early on
did Jeffrey have this control over Ashley
where she altered her decisions
and behaviors because of him.
[Lori] No, justice was not served.
Jeff took a life that was loved by so many,
and she did not deserve to die in that way.
[Kecia] Ashley's legacy is that she made a real impact
on the students that she di have the opportunity to teac
And they won't ever forget her.
I will never forget Ashley as long as I live.
She was my sister.
[Ashley speaking]
[Erin speaking]
I'm so thankful that we did videos
just to hear her voice and to see her face
and her just laugh and her mannerisms.
[Ashley speaking]
I definitely cherish them. For sure.
[Jimmy] What would I say to her?
I would say, baby, Daddy loves you.
I don't hold any grudges.
All I want you to do is just...
just tell me you love me. That's all.
Just let me know, "I love you
and I'm your daughter," and that's it.
What more could I ask for?
