PHILADELPHIA – Authorities are continuing to search for missing Philadelphia 23-year-old Kada Scott, who vanished shortly after arriving at her job on Oct. 4.<\/p>\n
Here is a timeline of the search, and new developments that have been shared by police along the way:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Timeline:<\/p>\n
October 4 \u2013 Kada Scott goes missing <\/p>\n
Investigators say Kada Scott showed up to work an overnight shift at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill senior living facility around 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
Her father, Kevin Scott, said Kada worked at the nursing home for about two weeks and was assigned to the overnight shift that ran from 10 p.m.- 6 a.m.<\/p>\n
Police believe Kada was not at work for long before she left the campus. Investigators say there were no surveillance cameras in the parking lot.<\/p>\n
October 4 \u2013 Kada reported missing by parents <\/p>\n
When Kada did not return home that morning, Kevin Scott said her mother called the senior living facility and got “conflicting reports” about Kada’s whereabouts.<\/p>\n
Kevin Scott said they met police at the nursing home a short time later and found Kada’s car left in the parking lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia community is rallying in a desperate search for Kada Scott, a 23-year-old woman who vanished four days ago. Her family is deeply concerned, stating that she was at work one moment and gone the next, amid reports of phone harassment by a stranger.<\/p>\n Her phone, iPad, keys, and other belongings were not inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n “[Police] believe the last time anyone saw her was around 10:30 p.m. or 10:45 p.m.,” Kevin Scott told Mike Jerrick and Alex Holley.<\/p>\n October 10 \u2013 Police search Awbury Arboretum As investigators collected leads, their search for Kada brought police to the Awbury Arboberetum in East Germantown on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n Investigators say the sprawling 55-acre property was one of the last places that Kada’s phone pinged before it was deactivated.<\/p>\n A police search team, however, did not uncover any evidence that revealed Kada’s whereabouts.<\/p>\n FBI, Homicide investigators join search <\/p>\n The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Philadelphia homicide detectives joined the search for Kada<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Investigators have continued to stress that homicide detectives’ involvement does not mean the worst.<\/p>\n “They rest assured that it’s not a homicide, they explained that this is the best unit in Philadelphia working on your daughter’s case,” said Kevin Scott.<\/p>\n October 15 \u2013 Keon King charged with kidnapping <\/p>\n Nearly two weeks after the search for Kada started, authorities charged 21-year-old Keon King<\/a> with kidnapping Kada Scott.<\/p>\n They believe King was the last person to have seen Scott at some point on the evening of Oct. 4.<\/p>\n At the time of the arrest, police said they were searching for King’s metallic gold 1999 Toyota Camry with heavy front end damage.<\/p>\n Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said King was previously arrested for kidnapping another female acquaintance earlier this year.<\/p>\n That case, however, was dismissed after the victim twice failed to appear in court. Prosecutors on Wednesday said they will move to re-file those charges.<\/p>\n King’s bail was set at $2.5M.<\/p>\n October 15 \u2013 Police search abandoned school, find car <\/p>\n Hours after authorities announced King’s arrest, a police search party flooded the abandoned Ada Lewis Middle School campus in East Mount Airy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sergeant Eric Gripp told reporters that “physical evidence” was found outside the former school that links Kada Scott to having been in the area.<\/p>\n “This is very substantial,” said Gripp, who did not reveal exactly what police found.<\/p>\n Police sources later told FOX 29 News that investigators found Kada’s glasses, iPad case, cellphone case, and bank card were found at the former school.<\/p>\n Investigators found King’s Toyota Camry later that day abandoned in a parking lot on Gypsy Lane in East Falls.<\/p>\n They did not reveal what \u2013 if anything \u2013 was found inside the car.<\/p>\n What you can do:<\/p>\n Kada’s family has started a GoFundMe campaign<\/a> to raise money to raise “awareness, support search efforts, and ensure that no lead goes unheard.”<\/p>\n The GoFundMe has raise over $6k as of this writing.
