The Great Flood of 1993 was one of the most devastating natural disasters to have occurred in the U.S., resulting in around 50 fatalities and around $12-16 billion in damages. Authorities quickly began to suspect that the West Quincy levee had been intentionally damaged and eyes quickly turned to known local criminal: James Scott.
The locals were convinced that the levee could not have broken due to natural causes and so sabotage became the logical conclusion. Neal Baker, a sergeant at the Quincy Police Department became suspicious of Scott after noticing some inconsistencies in his story.
