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

This is not looking good. I wonder if this harassment extended to stalking? Could someone have been watching long enough to realise her new place of employment didn't have cameras? Perhaps they found a way to lure her outside, she went outside as part of her duties (emptying rubbish bins?), or went back to her car to get something, leaving an opportunity to take her against her will, or to lure her into a car. Perhaps this harassment actually came from somebody she knew without realising it, so willingly got into a car of an acquaintance? Perhaps she left the premises willingly during a meal break but things went awry with whatever she was doing during that time. I wonder if she usually took her break in a staff room, her car, or maybe there was a nearby place open 24/7 that she would go to for food or drink? I'm not American and unsure about your work rules. How long would she typically get for her main break during a shift like this?

EDIT: I just read the latest news report and it appears she left early into her shift so likely not related to a meal break.

if some one were going to accost her, easiest times, I think, would be her arrival or if she went outside, but not sure why she would go outside again after arriving- would she have been called under some pretense? Curious if she was taking a meal from home- 8 hr shift, so typically two short breaks and a meal about 4 hrs in though I am not sure how regimented things are in a nursing home over night.

It sounds like the sighting of her leaving is confirmed or assumed to be correct... but I keep thinking of the ivy league student who was killed and hidden in a crawl space in the mouse research room at her lab. I hope they are indeed certain she left and also did not return, or have searched every nook and cranny in that nursing home.

Whilst the facility she works at doesn't look huge, and therefore not a lot of staff, perhaps it's somewhat busy at the start of her shift with staff coming and going?

I'm now wondering in what time frame Kada was receiving those harassing calls.
Did they begin before or after she began working at this facility 2 weeks ago?
Do we know?

The only thing we've heard is "in the days leading up to her disappearance". To me that implies after she started working at The Terrace, but it's not really specific. And, it doesn't sound as if any of her friends or family know the specifics regarding the harassment. Why didn't she share more? Was it simply because it was generic threatening comments?

Maybe she was seen leaving with someone and had previously planned walking at Awburh. I wonder what else could have lead LE there. This is so sad. I’m glad LE is investigating this seriously
