Philadelphia homicide detectives are now part of the investigation into the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman who vanished more than a week ago.
But we begin with a Philadelphia family
anxious for answers as they search for a
loved one, a missing loved one. Family
members of 23-year-old Kada Scott say
they just want her home.
>> Yeah, their desperate plea comes as
police tell us the homicide unit is now
helping with this investigation. Action
News reporter Becca Hendrickson spoke
with the family this afternoon. She
joins us now live with more on what
they're saying. Becca,
>> Brian and Sarah, everyone just wants
answers in this case. They want to know
what happened to Kada Scott. Police
saying the homicide unit is now involved
even though this isn't a homicide
investigation at this point. Police say
these are the most experienced
detectives on the force and they will
leave no stone unturned.
>> I love her. She's a great person.
>> A plea from a father who's now been
searching for his daughter for 10 days.
23-year-old Kada Scott went missing
Saturday, October 4th. She was last seen
going to an overnight shift at her job
in Chestnut Hill. She never made it
home.
>> A lot of friends, family, um again, a
very creative, ambitious young lady, and
uh we just went home safely.
>> Last Friday, there was a massive police
search involving hundreds of cadets,
canines, and drones at Aubberry
Arboritum. Police say evidence led them
there, but the search for Kada came up
empty. The night before, police searched
a home on the 5,500 block of Belmar
Terrace in Southwest Philadelphia.
Kada's friends and family have been out
searching, too.
>> Cameras the neighborhoods any leads we
could possibly get so we could forward
to police in hopes of getting my
daughter back home.
>> The 23-year-old was last seen wearing
black scrubs. She had reported being
harassed before she went missing. Her
vehicle was still at her job as the
investigation into her disappearance
started and her phone was dead, which
both her family and police say was
troubling.
>> Unable to call, text, that's just not
her personality, especially not checking
with me or her mom or her little sister
to just let us know she's okay. So, it's
definitely unusual.
>> Now, as the search is well into its
second week, her family is anxious for
answers and pleading for anyone who may
know anything to come forward. You never
know what little small mini information
may apply to the big picture, the puzzle
that may actually get K home. So,
whatever you think can help, call in,
report it to the police department. That
might be the piece that they're looking
for.
>> Now, police have also said that the
family started a GoFundMe. They say that
any money raised there is going to go to
the person who can bring credible
information that leads them to Kada.

>> Okay, that search intensifying.
