In a grim turn of events, Philadelphia authorities have found human remains near an old school, possibly belonging to the missing beauty queen, Kada Scott. This discovery came after a tip led them to the abandoned Ada H. Lewis Middle School. The site, now a mix of overgrown brush and a large parking lot, was once a bustling middle school before its closure in 2008. The search began after a tipster called in with specific details about the location. Investigators found a shallow grave, with fresh dirt and an unusual smell. The area, just two and a half miles from where Scott last worked, raised suspicions. Scott, a 23-year-old who competed in the Miss Pennsylvania USA pageant, vanished after leaving her job at an assisted living facility. Her last known contact was with an unidentified person.
Earlier, police had found a damaged 1999 Toyota Camry at the same location, believed to be the car Scott was in the night she disappeared. Inside, they found her phone case and debit card. This led to the arrest of 21-year-old Keon King, who now faces multiple charges, including kidnapping and tampering with evidence. However, he has not been charged in Scott's death yet. King's past is troubling. He was previously accused of kidnapping and assaulting a woman in January. Charges were dropped when the victim didn't show up in court, but they were refiled after King's arrest in Scott's case. District Attorney Larry Krasner admitted mistakes were made in handling the earlier case, especially with King being out on bail. The community is left with questions about how this could have happened. The case highlights flaws in the justice system, where bail policies and witness intimidation can hinder justice. As the investigation continues, the focus remains on finding the truth for Kada Scott and her family.
