(2) Must have resided in the State as a full-time student at a school, college or university for one full semester, trimester or summer session immediately prior to the state pageant, and still enrolled as a full-time student at a school, college or university and will continue to reside in the state (although they may spend the summer in another state). or

(3) Must retain full-time employment in the State (i.e., I work at least forty (40) hours per week in the State, and I qualify for employment benefits provided by my employer) and have maintained such full-time employment for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date

Must be a full time student or just completed a semester and still be enrolled as a full time student and have worked full time for 9o days before the pageant. They dont ask for much??

I post these requirements for two reasons:

1) I wonder if perhaps she took the not-prestigious (but extremely important!) job in the assisted living facility simply as a way to fulfill the third requirement. She claims on her LinkedIn to have graduated from college in 2023, but was in the 2025 Miss USA Pennsylvania competition, so she would not have met the second criteria as it states delegates must have held/were going to hold full-time student status up to and after the state competition.

Makes sense to me, and the type of job could serve her well in the pageant world, too. Humanitarian type jobs.

So....homicide.

Sorry to hear this, but it does mean they have some info that we don't know about. The case isn't turned over to homicide unless there is evidence of a homicide.

What the heck happened?!

Reminds me of Dacara Thompson if anyone else is following that sad case. At least there was camera footage there to assist the investigation though.
IMO

I was thinking about the camera footage tonight .. initially in this thread there were locals who described the area of Kada’s workplace as a very nice neighborhood likely to have many homes with doorbell cameras or other surveillance/security footage. LE had also requested this from the public initially, especially from those in the immediate area around the facility. I don’t believe we’ve heard anything more about requesting cameras or video footage (aside from the frequently referenced fact that the AL facility did not have any outdoor cams), so I wonder if LE did receive some kind of video/picture footage from the neighborhood, that either led them to their search sites or supported some kind of digital data from Kada’s devices.

Action News has learned police searched a home last Thursday night on the 5500 block of Belmar Terrace in Southwest Philadelphia.

The next day, police were out in force searching the Awbury Arboretumin Germantown, which is about three miles from where Scott was last seen.
