PA PA - Kada Scott, 23, left work early, car found in work parking lot, phone is off, Philadelphia Oct. 4, 2025.

[Inthedetails]

I'm recalling another case where someone at a nursing home disappeared during a shift. I don't recall the details and I'm not suggesting this case mimics that one, but I think in that situation, the missing person left voluntarily? I don't trust my memory, though. But it is a possibility she wanted to leave, and that scenario offers hope she will surface somewhere safe.

I’m new to websleuths and finding missing persons, so forgive my ignorance, but would reverse searching her face on facial recognition sites like tin eyes help? It could help find her in the unfortunate circumstance that she was SA’d and any footage of that was uploaded onto adult sites.

I hope you're right. I hope she just needed a break.
I'm still thinking about LE's comment that she "left work". Perhaps there are cameras right at the employee entrance and it captured her walking out the door?

While watching a TikTok from Fox 29 Philadelphia the reporter mentioned no nearby camera's. He mentioned that Kada's phone, ipad and apple watch are all unaccounted for as well as the key's to her car.

Kada Scott: Family speaks out after 23-year-old woman vanishes

The Philadelphia community is rallying in a desperate search for Kada Scott, a 23-year-old woman who vanished four days ago. Her family is deeply concerned, stating that she was at work one moment and gone the next, amid reports of phone harassment by a stranger.

If there are no cameras, perhaps they know she "left" because you need to swipe an ID card to leave the building?

How scary for her mom. Beautiful young lady, sounds very together, responsible, not someone who would just go MIA one day midshift?

I would like to know more about this potential stalker or person who was "harassing" her by phone.

I wanted to get a sense of Kada's work environment and setting at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill. It is located in a nice, treed neighborhood. It looks like a nice, modestly-sized facility from the outside. It's only a 5 minute drive from her home on Rodney St.

It looks like it would be easy for someone to observe her arriving at work and the parking lot is very small. There is a church parking lot directly across the small side street, where someone could park unobserved at that time of night.

There are 2 small parking lots, but as the main entrance is to the right side of the building, I'm guessing that the staff park in the small lot at the corner of Stenton and Abington.

Here's a view of that lot:

The Terrace at Chestnut Hill - google maps

For anyone not familiar with Philadelphia, Chestnut Hill is one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city. The NW Philly neighborhoods around there are almost more like suburban areas than urban. It looks like her home is nearby in the West Oak Lane neighborhood, which is a little more urban than Chestnut Hill but nonetheless one of the more affluent African American neighborhoods in the city with a rich tradition in Philadelphia jazz and arts.

This case doesn't have the feel of random street level violence anyway, but the area of the city that we're looking at makes it less so (than say if she worked or lived in North Philly or Kensington). Obviously, we all know crime is hiding in dark corners everywhere, but this is not a part of the city with an epidemic of drugs or gangs or violent crime.

She looks lovely on the released photos.

I struggle to comprehend an assisted living facility having zero cameras - especially at the entrance/exit to the building.

These jobs can be very stressful at times for staff - so I worry about that possible angle.

The part about being harassed is another worry

I hope shes found safe but it’s not looking good

Does anyone have a photo of her without makeup? My reverse search results on Pimeyes only shows other girls with similar makeup styles

They should check all laundry & garbage bins.

I agree, I'm sure other employees have her phone # as well. We can't discard the fact it could have been a coworker harrassing her. IMO

The nursing home Website. The Terrace at Chestnut Hill | Senior Living in Philadelphia Appears to be a nice facility. She has only worked there for 2 weeks according to @Eli9 post above ( video)

Given all the information we have about KS it sure seems like she was on an upward trajectory in life. I'm hoping that there are some data LE can receive from her cellular carrier to see if they can determine who was harassing her prior to her disappearance. I fear for her safety.

What we don't know:

Craig says investigators don't know who was harassing Scott, if it was one person or multiple people, or if it might have been someone she knows. With her cell phone off, detectives say they're only able to look at historical data to piece together clues.

The historical data could still help right? Probably would take more time though...

So Kada had only been working at the facility for 2 weeks. Night shifts can be tough. She would have had to deal with resetting her circadian rhythm. This could have resulted in circadian rhythm disorder, which is a thing, and such disruptions have been linked to multiple pathophysiological changes (physical, mental, hormonal and behavioral changes).

My daughter at one time also did night shifts in the ER, and I remember it was a difficult for her in in first weeks with various effects that included confusion, decreased alertness and difficulties with decision making. On one occasion she took a wrong direction when going home and got lost.

I'm wondering if she liked the job. Night shifts can indeed be tough.

Where would she normally store her phone and car keys while she worked? Did she keep them with her or did she stash a purse in a locker or storage area during the shift?
