PHILADELPHIA —

More than a week after a 23-year-old Philadelphia woman went missing, a man has been arrested and charged with her kidnapping – as well as the kidnapping of another woman earlier this year in what police call part of a “pattern.”

Suspect Keon King, 21, was arrested Tuesday night and also faces a charge of recklessly endangering another person and use of a communication facility, meaning his phone, in the disappearance of Kada Scott, prosecutors said. Meanwhile, authorities are continuing their search for Scott, who was last seen at her workplace on the night of October 4.

“I just need her to come home and be safe. That’s what I fear – she’s not safe,” Scott’s mother, Kim Matthews, told WPVI last week.
