Cold Case: Scott Brothers Charged in 1999 Murder | St. Louis News

Description

After 27 years, a brutal 1999 murder of 14-year-old Justin Hocutt is finally getting justice — three Scott brothers are now charged with first-degree murder after allegedly attacking him in a violent, sexual assault fueled by rage, leaving his body on railroad tracks to be run over by a train. David Scott, 49, just entered court and pleaded not guilty, while his brothers Bobby and Mark, already in custody in Arkansas, await extradition. Witnesses describe a horrific beating and strangulation, but the autopsy reveals Justin was still alive when placed on the tracks — adding chilling detail to the crime. The case also ties in the suspects’ mother and the girlfriend’s father, now deceased, and some witnesses fear for their safety as the family allegedly cleaned up the scene and vanished.
