They may have went with dna because its more conclusive. Plus it seems they knew they could get the comparison done quickly
Totally agreed on this. I tend to think there's a very weak association between the two, but can't be sure. Whatever it was, I think he probably threatened to make a scene at work and she wants to keep her job. There doesn't need to be a "strong" connection for him to make a scene, and it's the type of thing that might make any person tend to just fly right out the door to defuse the situation, unawware of what this person's up to or what this particular person's capable of. This sweet young woman, it's completely tragic.

Wow. I wonder if there was a witness who did not want to be known, but did the right thing. I am meaning perhaps an unhoused person or persons. It was a very large abandoned school building where it would def. attract people wanting shelter for whatever reasons. They may of seen while hiding, what had happened, buried at the least. IMODNA confirms police found the body of Kada Scott, sources say, and new details emerge on what led police to her corpse
It’s not yet clear how Kada Scott died, but a law enforcement source said police believe she was likely killed within 30 minutes of leaving her workplace the night she disappeared.
I can’t quote directly due to TOS, but this news report says police believe Kada was KIDNAPPED and murdered within 30 minutes of leaving her workplace.
The tip that led police to return to a particular area near the abandoned school came in on Friday and said “GO BACK YOU MISSED HER.”
Police subsequently located the gravesite by chance—an investigator noticed the ground they were walking on had an unusually spongy/soft feeling, so they excavated and found her remains.
Phone/device tracking showed Kada’s and the murderer’s phones were travelng together after she left work, and parking lot of the Awbury Arboretum was the last location from which signals were transmitted from the Apple watch Kada wore to work. They have lots of video to substantiate that King was responsible for Kada’s abduction and murder.

He pulled into the Awbury recreation center*** parking lot at 10:30. Just wanted to correct you because they are two different locations. Right near each other, but different places
Specifically, the Awbury Recreation center is next to Ada H. Lewis Middle School, not the Arboretum
I can’t believe it took them 2 weeks to realize that she had an Apple Watch on. Or even that they didn’t pull surveillance for that rec center or surrounding areas of awbury arboretum earlier
Likely. I imagine a scenario where he says he will take her to pick up food for "lunch" later at work. She grabs her bag and runs out for what she believes will be a quick 15 minutes. Amd he wants something she's not willing to give and he kills her.
Yep. What’s also interesting to me is the inquirer mentions in their Instagram post that the tip specifically mentioned looking along an old wooden fence that borders the rec center and the school. But it appeared that they located her remains on the other side of the parking lot in the woodsSpecifically, the Awbury Recreation center is next to Ada H. Lewis Middle School, not the Arboretum

I don't think it did. The apple watch indicated Awbury recreation center, they found evidence at the school right next door. The phones indicated Kada and King traveling together to the rec center. And it may have taken this long to get the surveillance video or get through it once they got the phone data. They already had the surveillance from the arboretum. I do think they were not well versed in searching for fresh graves amongst the trees. That's a hard one, that they missed that. What if the tipster hadn't contacted them? It's not a good look.
In the inquirer article it said that late last week they learned that Kada had worn an Apple Watch to work and then they got the pinpoint location to awbury recreation center. And then Friday night they got the surveillance video from awbury rec. I even wonder if the boyfriend posting the pics from their date sparked them realizing, because it is clearly visible there.
What boyfriend, what date? Do you have a link please?

We read so many upsetting details about cases on these threads, but there's something in particular about the phrase "shallow grave" that just chills me every timePolice discovered human remains at an abandoned school while searching for Kada Scott, the 23-year-old Philadelphia woman who has been missing since she failed to come home from an overnight shift two weeks ago.
