And as for your remarks about Scotland always having a problem with crime. WRONG again. I know. I lived there my entire life. You need to mind your business and get you stories right.

May I ask where you found all of these details about the murder of Edith Welch? I did know of the murder but did not realize the case had been closed?

A Potomac native told me whites are not allowed.

The statement below from 1/7/2015 starting out as Edith Anita Welch only, not Williams, is only what the Montgomery County Police presumed happened and there was no way for them to confirm these as facts. Montgomery County Police did not solve this cold case and never will.

She was married to Nick Williams who changed the date on her birth certificate so they could marry. She will not now or never was/will be known as a Williams. She was not married to or friends of anyone in the Scotland community.

Potomac, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase have plenty of communities that are overwhelmingly white.

Which are frowned upon with affordable housing inserted every chance they get. Braking up black neighborhoods is bad but breaking up white neighborhoods is just apparently.

Potomac, Bethesda, and Chevy Chase have been 'broken up" by people "inserting affordable housing"? I'm not sure I even know what that means. Can you clarify?

Well you got a few facts right she was abducted near the Montgomery County Police barracks and she was murdered. Would be interested in where your other "facts" came from. And would love to know "Who came forward 43 years later?"

Scotland is like a tiny slice of SE nestled in the tony, wealthy and lovely area of Potomac. The crappy townhomes there are a bit cheaper as you may get killed going to your car.

That's ONE PERSON who allegedly did that. And you know - it sounds a bit tall tale-ish. No forensic evidence just hearsay?
I wonder what her husband was doing that evening ?

Yes, they also have a much higher crime rate in that community. I associate that with poverty, and the isolation of being poor in an affluent area, and not to race.

But I would not choose to live there. And we looked at a townhouse in a bordering neighborhood a few years back and were really disturbed to see everyone had bars on their back windows on the side of the street that backed to Scotland.

Please educate yourself. Those families were there before public housing and before Potomac became ritzy.
