On Wednesday, Pennsylvania police reportedly found a car connected to a woman who vanished earlier this month under concerning circumstances.
WPVI reported that Philadelphia police cordoned off a parking lot where the sedan was found. The vehicle was discovered in the city’s East Falls neighborhood after police searched an abandoned elementary school near the Awbury Arboretum.
Police said earlier this week that they searched the Awbury Arboretum for Scott, but nothing was found on the 55-acre property.
According to WPVI, the latest search was sparked by a tip that cops received after Keon King’s arrest on abduction charges. King, 21, was allegedly the last person Scott, 23, was with when she vanished on October 4. Cell phone data indicated that King was traveling with Scott’s phone that night before it was turned off or shut off, according to reports.
“Shortly after arriving here, we were able to locate some physical evidence, which ties Miss Scott to this scene, and obviously this is very substantial,” Philadelphia police Sergeant Eric Gripp told WPVI.
Meanwhile, a source told the news outlet that a card and a phone case — possibly linked to Scott — were discovered during Wednesday’s search at the school.
On October 4, Scott left early from her overnight shift at a nursing home. Her car was later found in the nursing home’s parking lot.
Philadelphia Police Captain John Craig said Scott does not have a history of disappearing, and her co-workers did not notice anything out of the ordinary before she went missing. However, Craig also claimed that Scott told her family about someone harassing her over the phone shortly before she vanished.
It is unclear whether police believe King was the person who harassed Scott on the phone.
Officials said King is also connected to a kidnapping and strangulation case that occurred earlier this year. However, the case was dropped because the victim did not appear in court.
Scott remains unaccounted for.
