Philadelphia Police are searching for a 23-year-old Black woman who has been missing for nearly a week.
According to PEOPLE, Kada Scott, 23, was last seen at roughly 9:45 p.m. on Saturday (October 4) after leaving her job at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill, an assisted living facility in northwest Philadelphia. Scott's car was found still parked at the facility. Since her disappearance, there has been no activity on Scott's phone or social media.
“You have a 23-year-old young lady who has completely disappeared,” Captain John Craig of Northwest Detectives said at a press conference on Wednesday (October 8). “We have no cell phone activity or social media activity, and she’s not reached out to family or friends.”
Investigators are looking into reports that Scott had been receiving suspicious phone calls in the days leading up to her disappearance.
“Days prior to her disappearance, Miss Scott related to family and friends that unknown individuals or person had been harassing her via phone,” Craig said. “We’re investigating that. We’re trying to learn more.”
Scott's parents, Kevin Scott and Kim Matthews, said the situation is completely out of character for their daughter, a Penn State graduate.
“She’s my oldest daughter. I love her,” Kevin Scott told ABC 6. “These last few days have been crazy. Head spinning. Trying to figure out what’s going on.”
“We fear that she’s not safe,” Matthews told CBS News.
Scott is described as 5’6”, 120 pounds, with a thin build, brown eyes, and black hair, according to police. Anyone with information about Kada Scott’s whereabouts is urged to contact Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS.
“No matter what information you have, think of it as a possible piece of a large jigsaw puzzle,” Craig said. “If there’s 100 pieces to a puzzle, you may think yours is insignificant, but without your piece, that jigsaw puzzle is not being solved.”
