- Hannah Peters, a Nashville thrifter on TikTok, found the framed and loose pictures at a Goodwill and posted a video that drew wide attention.
- Viewers recognized Scott in the images, leading Peters to return to the store to buy most of the collection, including a school portrait, which she has kept private.
- Scott’s social media manager contacted Peters to coordinate the handoff, while Peters rejected unsolicited claims and said she will not seek any money.
