New Development: Arrest Made in the Mysterious Disappearance of Kada Scott

Pennsylvania law enforcement officials revealed on Wednesday that they have taken a suspect into custody, more than a week after a woman disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Keon King, a 21-year-old, faces charges related to the abduction of 23-year-old Kada Scott, who went missing on October 4. The assistant district attorney noted that King is also linked to an earlier case this year involving kidnapping and strangulation, as reported by WPVI.

Authorities mentioned that the previous case was dismissed when the victim failed to appear in court.

According to sources from the Philadelphia Inquirer, King was reportedly the last person who had contact with Scott on the night she vanished. Cell phone records suggested that King was with Scott’s phone on the night of her disappearance until it was either turned off or went offline, according to the source.

Scott left her night shift at a nursing home early on October 4, and her vehicle was subsequently discovered in the facility’s parking lot.

Philadelphia Police Captain John Craig said Scott does not have a history of disappearing, and her co-workers did not notice anything out of the ordinary before she went missing. However, Craig also claimed that Scott told her family about someone harassing her over the phone shortly before she vanished.

It is unclear whether police believe King was the person who harassed Scott on the phone.

Police also said they are searching for a vehicle Scott may have been in. The car is a 1999 gold Toyota Camry with a Pennsylvania tag reading MSX0797.
