The case of a Pennsylvania woman who vanished under suspicious circumstances earlier this month is being investigated as a homicide, authorities said on Tuesday.
Philadelphia police confirmed to WPVI that its homicide unit is also investigating Kada Scott’s disappearance. Although police previously searched the Awbury Arboretum for Scott, they have not stated whether anything found there led to the shift in the investigation.
According to WTXF, the FBI is assisting local police in investigating Scott’s ongoing disappearance.
Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said they believe Scott, 23, is not “voluntarily missing,” though he could not confirm whether foul play is involved.
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 vanished.
However, Craig also claimed that Scott told her family about someone harassing her over the phone shortly before she vanished. Police said they are unsure who the caller was, but they are investigating.
Scott reportedly left home with her car keys, iPad, iPhone, and iWatch. Her phone has been shut off, so cops cannot track her location.
Scott was described as standing 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. Anyone with information regarding this case should call Philadelphia police at 215-686-3353.
