"Two weeks after 23-year-old Kada Scott disappeared while working her overnight shift at a senior living community in Philadelphia, human remains were discovered behind a vacant school. Now, a memorial is growing at the scene. The remains, which police said appeared to be those of a female, were found in a shallow grave in a heavily wooded area. Law enforcement sources say DNA testing indicates the remains are those of Scott."
"King is being held on $2.5 million bail for Scott's case. In the two weeks prior to Saturday's discovery, law enforcement had searched the grounds near the school and nearby Awbury Arboretum, bringing in additional K-9 units from New Jersey and at one point shutting down Philadelphia's police academy to have 300 recruits comb the area. Physical evidence, including Scott's phone case and debit card was discovered but not Scott."
Human remains discovered behind a vacant Philadelphia school in a shallow grave have been DNA-tested and indicated to belong to 23-year-old Kada Scott. Scott had disappeared two weeks earlier while working an overnight shift at a senior living community. The last person known to have contacted Scott, 21-year-old Keon King, was charged with kidnapping and is held on $2.5 million bail. Law enforcement conducted extensive searches of the area, including Awbury Arboretum, deploying K-9 teams and hundreds of police recruits. Physical items such as Scott's phone case and debit card were recovered nearby. A specific tip led officers back to the discovery site, and the medical examiner now handles the remains.
