Daytona Beach Police investigators are getting a break in a cold case that dates back to May of 1990.

That’s when authorities found the body… of who they believed was 32 – year old Tamar Ann Floyd Scott.

Daytona Beach PIO Jimmie Flynt said investigators found the remains in a burned out house in the 5-hundred block of South Street on May 25^th of that year. .

She had died of stab wounds as well as flames from the fire.

Since that time her body had only been tentatively identified, but now they have positive proof that the body is that of Ms. Scott… thanks to DNA swabs obtained from family members last year.

The investigation into her death is still on – going. 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cold Case Detective Leon Smith at (386) 671-5208.
