Cari Allen went missing from her home in Omaha on the night of November 19. This was two weeks after she broke up with Aldrick Scott. Early this month, Scott was arrested in Belize and sent back to the U.S. on charges of kidnapping.
Cari Allen, who was 43, was last seen at her home in Omaha on November 19. KETV, an ABC affiliate in Omaha, got a criminal complaint that said that two days later, an unknown person called 911 and said that Allen’s ex-boyfriend, Aldrick Scott, 47, had killed her.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office later said that Topeka, Kansas resident Scott was a “person of interest” in the case and put out a warrant for his arrest, charging him with kidnapping. Scott was caught on December 6 in Belize, Central America, with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service and the Metro Fugitive Task Force. After that, he was sent back to the United States.
On December 21, just before 3:00 p.m., officials from Douglas County, Nebraska, called the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office in Kansas because they had “found a clue” about where Allen might be.

The tip led them to 2249 SW 57th Street in Topeka, which is about 170 miles south of where Allen went missing. WIBW-TV, a CBS station in Topeka, said that the address is a farm with a house on it and that investigators set up white tents near the farm’s barn. They found a dead body there.
Friday’s autopsy showed that the body was that of Allen. Her death was ruled to be a murder, but the official cause of death was not given.
“The DCSO would like to send the Allen family our deepest condolences,” officials said when they made the announcement.
