For more than a decade, she was a correspondent for The New York Times and Reuters news service. Her work also has appeared in George magazine, Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, The New York Times Magazine, San Diego Union-Tribune, and Las Vegas Sun. She has appeared on Investigation Discovery's "Women Who Kill" and "Behind Mansion Walls" episodes, Oxygen network’s “Snapped” investigations, Unsolved Mysteries, CourtTV, CNN, MTV News, BET, VH1, and Uncovered TV. Her work has taken her to Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Panama, and most recently the Gulf Coast to cover the largest animal rescue in U.S. history, leaving her five-year job as a journalism instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas to stay in the region. The result was the book Pawprints of Katrina with a foreword by actress and animal activist Ali MacGraw. Scott also blogs for Psychology Today.

She is a member of the Authors Guild, The Crime Writers Association, International Thriller Writers and the Society of Professional Journalist’s National Speakers Bureau. Scott, who has received more than a dozen awards from news organizations in California and Nevada, also served for 10 years as the Nevada chairwoman of the Society of Professional Journalist’s Sunshine Committee which keeps open government to the public.

She is currently on a book tour for The Millionaire's Wife, which placed No. 3 in the True Crime Zine reader's poll for the Top 10 Best True Crime Books of 2012.
