Now, city crews are working to clear debris from the property.\n<\/p>\n

Ada Lewis Middle School has been closed for more than a decade. The Philadelphia School District said they are reviewing protocols for their vacant properties in their effort to create and maintain safe and healthy spaces in every neighborhood.\n<\/p>\n

New charges were announced against King on Monday<\/a>, including arson, conspiracy, and tampering with evidence.\n<\/p>\n

Last week, King was charged with kidnapping in this case and in a separate case from\u00a0earlier this year that had been initially dropped when the witness did not appear in court.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

He remains in custody on $2.5 million bail.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an ever-involving situation,\u201d Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said on Monday.\n<\/p>\n

Investigators say King and Scott had cellphone contact and that a stolen vehicle found on fire was used by King in this case.\n<\/p>\n

In the two weeks prior to Saturday\u2019s discovery, law enforcement had searched Awbury Arboretum and the grounds behind the school, where evidence, including her glasses and debit card, were found. However, she wasn\u2019t found until a detailed tip led authorities to her remains.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though this is the worst thing we could have hoped for, we were able to get our baby back,\u201d said Scott\u2019s aunt, Donna.\n<\/p>\n

Her family wants her to be remembered for how she lived.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cJust remember her name, remember her smile, remember what she lived for \u2014 that\u2019s it. Just remember who she is,\u201d Donna said.\n<\/p>\n

Another vigil is expected to be held at the school on Tuesday night.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now, city crews are working to clear debris from the property.
