Man Tracks Ex-Girlfriend’s Location While She Was On Date With Someone Else, Kills Her When She Got Home
During the trial, prosecutors alleged there was overwhelming evidence that Scott stalked and murdered Allen in 2022 before fleeing the country.
A man in the United States who tracked his ex-girlfriend’s location on a social media app and then killed her when she got home has been sentenced to life in prison on Thursday. According to People, Aldrick Scott was found guilty of first-degree murder in March, more than a year after the disappearance of his former girlfriend Cari Allen. A judge sentenced Scott to life in prison for murder and 45 to 60 years in prison for the two other charges. He received credit for 532 days served.
At the sentencing, the judge called Allen’s murder “senseless and tragic” and said there was “overwhelming evidence of the crimes.” During the trial, prosecutors alleged there was overwhelming evidence that Scott stalked and murdered Allen in 2022 before fleeing the country.
Prosecutors laid out the case against Scott, saying he waited for Allen in her home after following her while she was on a date. Prosecutors said Scott drove from Topeka, Kansas, to Nebraska, followed Allen through SnapChat maps, then waited for more than an hour in her home, according to ketv.com.
In their statements to the judge about his sentencing, Brett Allen and Cari’s best friend talked about how much of a light Cari was, how kind she was, and how many lives she touched. They said that was snuffed out by Scott. So, while the sentence is a relief, it’s not over.
“He doesn’t get to get out, but he still gets to wake up every day. And he might not be where he wants to be or what, but Cari can’t do what she wants to do, she doesn’t get that opportunity. So, a life for a life. I wish I wish it worked that way, but it doesn’t,” Brett Allen said.
The defense alleged Scott and Allen had recently broken up, and when Scott went to talk to Allen at her home in November 2022, something happened, claiming he acted in self-defense and ran in panic — not premeditation.
Scott took the stand during the trial and called this a “tough story to swallow,” saying Allen pulled a gun on him. He said the two struggled over it, and the gun went off, killing her.
