Kada, who was in the running to be the next Miss Pennsylvania USA, reported getting threatening messages shortly before she went missing, according to Philadelphia ABC affiliate WPVI.
The beauty queen was last seen leaving on East Abington Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“You have a 23-year-old young lady who has completely disappeared,” Captain John Craig of Northwest Detectives told the outlet.
“We have no cell phone activity or social media activity and she’s not reached out to family or friends.”
Kada’s phone has died since she first went missing, and she hasn’t shown any signs of being active online.
The pageant star recently began working at an assisted living facility after graduating from Penn State.
Her father described her as a “creative spirit” and “very artistic.”
Kada’s mother, Kim, said she’s been unable to sleep or eat since Kada went missing.
“I just need her to come home and be safe,” Kim said.
“That’s what I fear – she’s not safe.”
Kim said she saw her daughter right before she left for her 10 pm to 6 am shift at the assisted living facility.
Kada was last seen leaving work briefly after arriving wearing black scrubs.
Since then, there’s been no trace of her.
Investigators said they found her vehicle parked outside the facility, but were unable to see video evidence of her whereabouts as the facility doesn’t have surveillance cameras.

‘JIGSAW PUZZLE’
Craig mentioned that Kada’s mysterious disappearance is extra concerning because of the harassing messages she received.
“Days prior to her disappearance, Miss Scott related to family and friends that unknown individuals or person had been harassing her via phone,” the captain said.
“We’re investigating that. We’re trying to learn more,.”
Captain Craig urged the public to help solve the “jigsaw puzzle” of Kada’s disappearance.
“If there is 100 pieces to a puzzle, you may think your piece is insignificant, but without your piece, that jigsaw puzzle is not being solved,” Craig said.
“I plead with you, any information you have, reach out to police.”
Kevin Scott, Kada’s father, said the last few days have been “crazy.”
“She’s my oldest daughter. I love her,” he said.
“These last few days have been crazy. Head spinning. Trying to figure out what’s going on.”
“We take our associates’ safety and wellbeing very seriously and are fully cooperating with law enforcement’s efforts to locate Ms. Scott,” Bridge Senior Living, the assisted living facility’s management company, stated.
“As this is an active investigation, we are unable to share additional details at this time. Our thoughts are with Ms. Scott and her family, and we remain hopeful for a positive outcome.”
