Philadelphia prosecutors say remains found are of missing woman Kada Scott

Philadelphia prosecutors confirmed that remains found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned school are those of 23-year-old Kada Scott, missing for about two weeks. An anonymous tip sent police back to the site; DNA verified her identity. Keon King, 21, of Dover, Delaware, has been arrested on kidnapping, stalking and arson-related charges with $2.5 million bail, and more counts are expected; the DA said homicide charges are likely. Investigators cite cellphone and video evidence and a stolen Hyundai burned. Authorities are probing possible post-crime involvement by others. Scott’s parents mourned her “light” after she vanished following an overnight shift.
