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

I found what appears to be her LinkedIn page (with photo). In it, in addition to her educational background (recent college grad,) it states she owns and operates a "Beauty Spa" in Mt. Airy called "K$ Beauty Spa". I can find no business listing for that (with that specific name) or anything similar in Mt. Airy, nor any other record of a physical business by that or similar name. Could it have been a home business (i.e. independent consultant for sales of cosmetics,/skincare eyelashes, etc.)? https://www.linkedin.com/in/kada-scott-788736232

I found that on her LinkedIn page too, but noticed other parts of it seemed like she hadn’t updated the page in a couple of years (maybe 2023 but that’s from my memory a few nights back so could be wrong). I figured it was an older business she may no longer operate, but that was just my assumption.

I'm wondering if it was a school assignment to set up a LinkedIn page? idk.

There was a search this morning at Awbury Arboretum. Citizen App Videos show multiple police vehicles lined up on Washington Lane starting at Ardleigh St. I included a map with the distance from her job and where the search is being done. The red line is the area the police were parked. I also took a picture of the entrance. It looks like the rest of the property is fenced. Here is the link to the most recent News Report

This is bad

Speculating - elder care is extremely expensive and can be an emotional process for families. Could the person who was harassing her be a family member of someone who she cares for, or someone who perhaps was denied care by this facility (due to capacity or level of care or some other legitimate concern)? MOO

You're correct, it doesn't appear there are cameras in SEPTA buses recording passengers. But they did install AI cameras which target illegal parking in bus lanes.

New Philadelphia law takes effect allowing AI cameras to catch drivers illegally blocking bus lanes

Violators of a new law intended to keep vehicles from illegally blocking SEPTA bus lanes will be fined by mail as the surveillance program takes effect in Philadelphia.

6abc.com

While fare evasion cameras are installed at stations, the new bus-mounted cameras are focused on traffic enforcement, not on passengers. The distinction is that video evidence for fare evasion on buses is typically gathered at transit centers, and passengers are then confronted by police. The new AI cameras on buses are not meant for internal surveillance of passengers, but rather for external surveillance of vehicle traffic.

any records of fare cards used?

I think if she were in a daytime or administrative role this could definitely be a good lead to follow. However, upthread it’s been mentioned she’s only worked there for 2 weeks, and especially working 10p-6a, I don’t believe she would’ve had much chance to meet families or get to know them well, even coworkers.

if they know that she arrived safely, what would cause her to leave the building between 10p.m. and 6 a.m.?

Some new (to me) info from your linked article:

Sources say the FBI is also assisting with this search and investigation.

"We certainly see some signs that this person isn't voluntarily missing," Vanore said Friday.


There’s also (again) sort of conflicting info as to her “last seen” time/location, but the conflicting info is consistent at least with the original press releases- one part says she was last seen at 9:45pm leaving for her 10pm shift, and another says she was last seen at her place of employment by her coworkers shortly after her shift started. I don’t think that clarifying this makes a huge difference, as the first time (9:45) was from her mom seeing her before leaving for work, but we do know she made it to work as her car was left in the lot, and LE has stated she clocked in.

"Awbury Arboretum spans 56-acres of scenic landscapes, featuring walking trails, historic homes, and an agricultural village. Designed in the English Picturesque style, the grounds showcase rolling hills, open meadows, and framed vistas of trees and shrubs. Visitors can also explore a pond, watercourse area, and the walled garden known as AdventureWoods. While the Francis R. Cope House serves as Arboretum Headquarters and is open to the public, the other historic homes are privately owned and not available for tours."

I'm not sure which linked article it was but I believe I read she had only worked there a couple of weeks, so probably not long enough to be targeted by someone associated with a resident of the facility.

From the video linked above (and also available through this direct link: Kada Scott: Police search Awbury Arboretum for missing 23-year-old woman if you don't like to use X):

- Q: did a tip or video evidence led you to Awbury Arboretum? A: Not going to reveal what evidence let us there.
- they did a K9 search early this morning, but didn't find anything that obviously linked to the case so far. Now they are supplementing investigative staff with academy recruits to do a human grid search of the large, wooded area.
- they are focused on the part of the arboretum that lies to the north of Washington Lane, "as that is where their info led them and that is where the cars go in and out of". No evidence led them to the south area.
- Q: Hav you been able to reach out to the harasser(s)? A: Not going to comment on our interviews and that we are reaching out to anybody we can. Q: So there's been an interview? A: No, no. I don't know who the individual is.
- Q: are you now treating this as foul play? A: We would classify it as "troubling" missing persons report. We don't know if foul play was involved but we certainly see some signs that this person isn't voluntarily missing. So because of that we are trying to figure out who she contacted and where she is now.


I've bolded a couple of comments that I found interesting.

So it sounds like they believe she contacted someone and then possibly seen in a vehicle that went to the Arboretum? Just guessing on my part.

Kada contacted someone?
While she was at work I wonder? Who goes to the arboretum at night?
"we certainly see some signs that this person isn't voluntarily missing"....what signs?
This is so strange...and alarming.

Earlier in the interview the Commissioner said that the fact that her car was left behind and that she is suddenly silent on social media are two signs that are unusual in cases where it is a voluntary disappearance.

Until this is clarified/confirmed, simply based on my own opinion of how LE answered other questions in the same clip, I don’t think this necessarily confirms that SHE contacted someone, but could also mean who she was in contact WITH, referring to whoever had been harassing her in the last few weeks. Just my own opinion of course… but I don’t think this officer is speaking very clearly or giving well thought out/rehearsed responses. (I don’t mean that as any kind of criticism- it would be incredibly difficult to provide 100% clear responses in this type of interview, knowing that you have to keep a lot of information from the public for the integrity of the investigation.)

Drat. I was sooo hoping this was a case of a grown-up "runaway" who just needed a fresh break. Sad to learn that is unlikely.

Her LLC which I found will be suspended soon for lack of filing the annual report (Due Sept).

She's young and seems to have an entrepreneurial spirit, I wonder if anyone was helping her launch a business venture? Catfished but not in the normal sense, if you get my drift?
