    Detective Scott Naso: The Signs He Missed (#250)

    Detective Scott Naso has spent nearly two decades solving complex cases. But the most devastating and confusing chapter of his life unfolded inside his own home. After his wife began experiencing subtle but troubling symptoms, what initially appeared manageable escalated into a medical emergency. An MRI revealed a large brain tumor requiring immediate intervention. Within days, everything changed. In this deeply personal conversation, Scott Naso walks through the timeline leading up to that discovery, the warning signs he now reexamines, and the emotional aftermath of losing his wife while raising their young daughter. As a trained investigator, he finds himself grappling with the same question many listeners will ask: How did this happen? Scott also speaks about grief, boundaries, fatherhood, and the ongoing legal proceedings connected to these events. He shares his perspective as someone trying to honor his wife’s memory while protecting his child’s future. This episode explores loss, resilience, and what it means when the person trained to find answers is left searching for them himself.
