Keon King, the suspect accused of the October kidnapping and murder Kada Scott, will stand trial.  He has pleaded not guilty to  murder, kidnapping, and abuse of a corpse. A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for June 24.

Kada Scott's remains were found in a wooded area behind an abandoned school in East Germantown.   She was last seen shortly after arriving for a shift at an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill.  Police began searching the area, near the vacant Ada H. Lewis Middle School for Scott after receiving a "very specific" anonymous tip.

Police previously searched the area of the school and arboretum in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia but reported only finding some physical evidence, without commenting on what evidence was uncovered. Community members voice anger and frustration at police while gathering behind the crime scene tape during the search on Saturday, saying they could have found the body sooner.

Keon King had a criminal record prior to his alleged involvement in Scott’s kidnapping. Investigators say King kidnapped and assaulted another victim earlier in the year.
