PHILADELPHIA – New details have emerged in the case against Keon King, who is charged with the murder of Kada Scott.
Court documents reveal text messages between Scott and King from Sept. 28 to Oct. 4, the day she disappeared.
On Oct. 4 at 10:07 p.m., Scott allegedly texted King, “kidnap me again,” to which King replied, “better be up to,” indicating plans to meet.
Details from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office (DAO) show a black Hyundai Accent, linked to King, was parked near the site where Scott’s body was found and later set on fire elsewhere.
Surveillance footage from Oct. 5 shows two people removing a heavy object, consistent with a human body, from the car.
King is charged with murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, stalking, arson, causing catastrophe, conspiracy, unauthorized use of an automobile, tampering with evidence, recklessly endangering another person and receiving stolen property in relation to Scott’s disappearance.
Surveillance footage suggests at least two others may have helped move her body.
Police are actively investigating but have not announced additional arrests.
What we don’t know:
Police have not confirmed the identities of potential accomplices or announced further arrests.
