PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — 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.
Police said Tuesday that the Homicide Unit is now assisting in the case.
(Correction: A previous version of this report stated that homicide detectives were leading the investigation)
Kada Scott was last seen leaving her workplace, a senior living facility in Chestnut Hill, on the night of Saturday, October 4.
Police have not yet said why the case is now being investigated by the homicide unit.
Before her disappearance, Scott had told people that she was being harassed.
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 Arboretum in Germantown, which is about three miles from where Scott was last seen.
There was no word on whether anything related to the investigation was found.
Sources say the FBI is also assisting with this search and investigation.
