Keon King charged in Kada Scott disappearance

Philadelphia police arrested 21-year-old Keon King on Wednesday in connection with the disappearance of 23-year-old Kada Scott, who was last seen leaving her overnight shift at a senior living facility in Chestnut Hill on October 4. Authorities have charged King with kidnapping and recklessly endangering another person as the search for Scott continues.

Police said Scott drove to work the night she vanished and her vehicle remained parked at the Terrace at Chestnut Hill after she failed to complete her shift. Investigators have said Scott’s cellphone and social media accounts went dark after she left the facility, and relatives told police she had recently reported receiving harassing calls. Officials said King was the last person known to have communicated with Scott before that activity ceased.

Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Ashley Toczylowski said at a news conference that investigators believe King was in contact with Scott shortly after she left work and that he is connected to a vehicle of interest. Authorities are seeking a 1999 metallic gold Toyota Camry with Pennsylvania registration MSX0797, described as having heavy front-end damage on the left side....
