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

I see on-line that the family is requesting financial support to establish a reward for finding Kada. The goal is rather modest. I don't know how effective such efforts are but it gives the family something to focus on. I hope someone out there can help find Kada.

Was this a part time job or full time job?

Did Kada graduate with a Degree? In what?

 

[Megnut]

Probably an exercise in the obvious but what are the possibilities here?

Disappeared purposefully.

Was lured out of work and then driven away, with a ruse. Parent/pet emergency, come with me.

And/or lured out by her harasser and taken away by force.

Are all of her devices missing? That's... interesting.

I hope it means she left of her own volition, remains safe somewhere, and while having a lot of explaining to do, will be ALIVE to do so.

Best case scenario.

Police searched through Awbury Arboretum on Friday with a hundred cadets, K9s, forensics experts, drones and crime scene units. Awbury Arboretum is three miles from where KS was last seen. Nothing related to the case has been located so far but there was some found clothing that will be tested to see if it is relevant to this case.

Search intensifies for missing Philadelphia woman who vanished after leaving work

Police scoured the grounds of Awbury Arboretum, which is about three miles from where Kada Scott was seen last Saturday night.

I've seen mention that her Apple iWatch was what pinged at Awbury, but who knows if that's true? Maybe her cell phone died, but her tablet or watch still had some battery life.

It was reported on NBC10. I am linking to a news page that has the news segment video. They state the information was shared by her mother, and in actual fact her family had been there to do their own search the day before LE started theirs.

I hope this is all ok. My first link

Thanks so much for sharing. The reporter mentions the Apple watch during the last 20 seconds of the video. KS' mother shared that the Apple watch pinged at the Awbury Arboretum.

If they've got Apple data which led them to the park, they'll be able to determine how fast she was moving IMO. On foot or by car. Maybe even heart rate.

But if an Apple watch led them to the park, where did her watch go after that? Turned off? Submerged? Voluntarily or not? Influencer stunt?

My mind goes to the runaway bride. Id she a victim of foul play or an opportunist, preparing to return from "captivity" with a harrowing tale to tell?

Hoping for an outcome that brings her safely back to her family.

Probably something and nothing. But reported here in the presser Kada’s last sighting was by her mum, at 9:50pm, before she went to work. Upthread there is a post with receipt that states she was last seen at 9:45pm LEAVING her place of work. Seems to me that her having left her place of work hasn’t been corroborated?

 

[lastkiss]

Apologies. The way I have posted has attributed my words to Knox. I attached my words to their video copied by me as a receipt.

Still learning. Apologies.

Can someone refresh my memory

How do we know she left work?

This is my biggest issue with this investigation! The time she was last seen by her mother leaving home to head to work was given by law BUT when it comes to the details of her leaving work, it is extremely vague. We know she was at work but we don’t know who last saw her. We don’t know who witnessed her leave the building. We don’t know if she exchanged words with anyone before leaving. It seems like LE is purposefully not disclosing this information. I questioned if she is still in the facility but I have to assume she is not since LE searched at Awbury. I also wonder if any of her belongings were left inside the facility in a locker or something because I can see a person working with keys on person but not an iPad. Where’s the iPad? Why would the iPad be missing too unless that’s what she was running outside to her car to get it and was returning to the facility when something happened. That would explain her keys and iPad missing as well. I’m in healthcare and work overnight shifts. If I forget my food or phone, I’ll run back to my car in the beginning of my shift so I can refrigerate my food or so that I’m not running out in the middle of the night. I would typically let someone know that I’m running to my car real quick or I have to go grab something real quick. LE is not releasing any details though and I feel it’s key information. Maybe someone texted her and told her they had her iPad. I wonder what was the iPads location history prior to being turned off

Maybe, I'm not committed to an answer, I see multiple news sites say she was a recent graduate from Penn State, but I can find nothing to verify that......
Here's a link.

I live in Penn State territory (It's a huge thing in Central Pennsylvania) and working at an assisted living facility as an aide after graduating from Penn State is not at ALL what I would expect, it's very odd. There is nothing wrong with that type of job, we need more Nursing Home Aides, but that's not a job I would expect someone who paid $40k a year for college to do. It would be impossible to pay back loans at that income level.

The job market for university grads is not hot right now.

As Skills Gap Grows, Job Market For College Grads Hits 5-Year Low

A new report finds that recent college graduates are encountering the toughest entry-level job market in five years, a problem compounded by a gap in practical skills.

What do you mean just reported? Like as in a resident’s individual living space? Not sure I understand what you mean.

They are 2 unrelated items.

1 - it was only reported if her leaving work, we don’t know how many people witnessed her actually leaving and it seems there is no video evidence. So was it a staff, multiple staff, resident - who actually witnessed

2 - is it possible it was assumed she “left” but wasn’t actually observed leaving in which case, is she still in the building somewhere. Did a resident assault her and it is unknown, or covered up, or a staff involved

Imo I hope they have solid evidence to say she left

The new search info may indicate they have some kind of evidence of her leaving

The job market for university grads is not hot right now. 4 year college just doesn't seem as important as it used to be and you just cannot justify the cost...Many graduates have to go home and live with their parents to afford to live and pay their student loans. Couple this with having to work super low paying jobs and that American dream just ain't happening for many. Could she have been suicidal because her jobs potential sucks. Like someone else said a PENN grad isn't normally working the night shift at an assisted living facility. I wonder what her major was.

Plus her phone and watch could have left without her too.

It doesn't sound like they have any CCTV of her leaving or in the vicinity. Therefore the validity of the eye witness statement has to be questioned, witness memories can be mistaken in the urge to help. MOO
