Philadelphia's Germantown: A Community in Mourning

A grim discovery has shaken the community of Germantown, Philadelphia. After an extensive search, human remains believed to be those of 23-year-old Kada Scott were found behind a vacant school. Scott had vanished two weeks prior while working her overnight shift at a senior living community in Chestnut Hill.

Details of the Discovery

The remains, found in a shallow grave within a wooded area, were identified through DNA testing, which matched Scott's parents. This development comes as Keon King, the last person to contact Scott, remains in jail. King, a 21-year-old from South Philadelphia, faces kidnapping charges in Scott's case and another similar incident from earlier this year.

Background and Investigation

Before her disappearance, Scott had mentioned being harassed, but it's unclear if King was involved. Law enforcement had searched the area extensively, even bringing in additional K-9 units and 300 police recruits. A tip eventually led them back to the site where the remains were discovered.

Additional Charges and Legal Developments

King is also facing charges in a separate case where a woman was allegedly kidnapped and strangled but survived. Initially, the charges were dropped when the victim didn't appear in court, but they are now being refiled. The District Attorney's Office acknowledged they could have handled the case better, particularly in using video evidence.

Community Response

The community is urged to continue providing any information related to the case. Meanwhile, a memorial is growing at the scene, reflecting the community's grief and desire for justice.
