New Details Revealed in Disappearance of Kada Scott, Who Vanished After Receiving ‘Harassing’ Phone Calls for Days By Bailey Richards

New details have surfaced in the case of Kada Scott, a 23-year-old Pennsylvania woman who vanished after allegedly being harassed.

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner revealed new information about the case in a press conference on Friday, Oct. 17, two days after Keon King was arrested in connection with Scott’s disappearance.

In the conference, which was livestreamed by NBC 10 Philadelphia, Krasner said that other alleged victims of King, 21, have come forward to authorities since his arrest. He was taken into custody on Wednesday, Oct. 15, the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) previously confirmed to PEOPLE.

After calling the community effort to assist investigators with the case “unprecedented,” the district attorney said, “We even have some information about additional victims of this defendant from incidents that never resulted in an arrest.”

“I think part of what is happening here, and it’s good news, is that young people are seeing themselves in Kada,” Krasner continued. “Older people see their kids, and they would like to know that everyone is doing everything they can, no matter how perfectly or imperfectly, but they’re doing everything to try to deal with this horrific situation.”

King was previously charged in an unrelated case with kidnapping and strangulation earlier this year, but those charges were withdrawn when the alleged victim did not appear in court. In the press conference, Krasner addressed this, citing the cash bail system as the primary issue that led to the withdrawal.

He claimed the district attorney’s office requested around $1 million bail for King for the initial kidnapping case, but it was set at less. “Keon King had access to a lot of money,” Krasner said, adding that King posted the bail “almost immediately.”

“That victim is more likely to walk in the door of the courthouse and testify if that victim knows that the defendant can’t walk out right behind her if he’s locked up,” he explained. “Well, he wasn’t locked up here.”

Krasner also urged any other potential victims of King — or anyone with information on Scott’s whereabouts — to come forward, and stressed the multiagency effort to find the missing woman.

“I want to make sure that we are keeping the public update, and I want to make sure that people understand that the FBI, the Philadelphia Police Department, the D.A.’s office, other law enforcement partners are working 24/7 on this case and are doing everything we can with the remarkable, unusual, extraordinary support and help coming from the public to address the situation we all face,” he said.

Scott was last seen leaving an assisted living facility where she worked on the night of Oct. 4, police previously alleged. Authorities alleged she was receiving “harassing” phone calls in the days leading up to her disappearance.

Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Ashley Toczylowski previously declined to comment on whether King is linked to the alleged harassing phone calls.

King was the last person in contact with [Scott] when her cell phone and social media activities dropped, Toczylowski said in an Oct. 15 press conference, which was livestreamed by 6 ABC. Authorities also released photos of a vehicle of interest, with Toczylowski stating investigators believe King is connected to the vehicle, and that Scott may have been in that vehicle.

As for the previous kidnapping and strangulation case, in which charges were withdrawn, Toczylowski said investigators believe these alleged offenses are a “pattern” of King’s and said authorities are refiling those charges.
