Pennsylvania police announced on Wednesday that they have arrested a suspect more than a week after a woman vanished under suspicious circumstances.
Keon King, 21, was charged with abduction in the ongoing disappearance of Kada Scott, 23, who vanished on October 4. The assistant district attorney said King is also connected to a kidnapping and strangulation case that occurred earlier this year, according to WPVI.
Officials said that case was dropped because the victim did not appear in court.
Sources told the Philadelphia Inquirer that King was the last person in contact with Scott the night she disappeared. Cell phone data indicated that King was traveling with Scott’s phone that night before it was turned off or shut off, per the source.
On October 4, Scott left early from her overnight shift at a nursing home. Her car was later found in the nursing home’s parking lot.
Philadelphia Police Captain John Craig said Scott does not have a history of disappearing, and her co-workers did not notice anything out of the ordinary before she went missing. However, Craig also claimed that Scott told her family about someone harassing her over the phone shortly before she vanished.
It is unclear whether police believe King was the person who harassed Scott on the phone.
Police also said they are searching for a vehicle Scott may have been in. The car is a 1999 gold Toyota Camry with a Pennsylvania tag reading MSX0797.
