One person arrested in the case of disappearance of philadelphia The woman who went missing from her nursing home job was also charged in a kidnapping case involving another woman earlier this year.
Authorities have charged Keon King with kidnapping, stalking and other charges in the disappearance of 23-year-old Kada Scott, who was last seen leaving her nursing home job on Oct. 4.
King, 21, is being held on $2.5 million bail while police continue to search for Scott. They found a damaged car they believe King was driving at the time and other evidence linking him to the missing woman. Authorities also say King was the last person to come in contact with Scott.
“All roads lead to him at this point,” Assistant District Attorney Ashley Taczilowski said at a news conference Wednesday.
King also faces charges in a similar case earlier this year in which a woman was allegedly kidnapped and strangled, but she survived. Taczilowski said those charges were dropped when the accuser failed to appear in court, but now charges will be filed again.
In the first case, prosecutors said King abducted a woman in front of her home, “threw her in his car, assaulted her and eventually passed her out.”
King has a preliminary hearing in the Scott case Nov. 3. A telephone message seeking comment was left Thursday for an attorney listed as his defense attorney.
