Human remains found in shallow grave ‘believed to be’ missing Philadelphia woman Kada Scott: Police

The Philadelphia Police Department has made a heartbreaking discovery in the case of missing 23-year-old Kada Scott. Human female remains were found in a shallow grave on the grounds of an abandoned school, and authorities believe they belong to Kada Scott, who has been missing for two weeks. The identity of the remains is yet to be confirmed by the medical examiner’s office, and an investigation into the cause of death is underway.

The discovery was made after police received a specific anonymous tip leading them to the wooded area behind Ada H. Lewis Middle School in Germantown. The search on Saturday morning resulted in the recovery of the remains, believed to be those of Kada Scott. The Philadelphia Police Department expressed their condolences to Kada’s family and friends, emphasizing their commitment to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker also extended her support to Kada Scott’s family during this difficult time, offering prayers for peace and expressing the city’s readiness to provide any necessary assistance. The remains were found in an area that was previously central to the search efforts, as items belonging to Scott, such as a cell phone case, an iPad case, glasses, and a card with her name, were discovered earlier in the week and are currently undergoing forensic examination.

Kada Scott was last seen on October 4, leaving work at a nursing home. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance raised concerns, especially due to harassing phone calls she had been receiving. Keon King, 21, has been charged in connection with her disappearance, as evidence suggests he was in communication with Scott and was the last person she interacted with before going offline.

Efforts to locate King’s vehicle, a 1999 metallic-gold Toyota Camry, were successful, as the car was found in an apartment lot. Tips from the public led authorities to key pieces of evidence, including the vehicle linked to Scott’s disappearance. Despite the difficult circumstances, Kada Scott’s family remains hopeful and positive, believing that she will be found safe and sound.

As the investigation continues, the community rallies behind the Scott family, offering support and prayers for Kada’s safe return. The search for answers and justice for Kada Scott remains a top priority for the Philadelphia Police Department and authorities involved in the case.
