According to NBC10, physical evidence related to Scott's disappearance was found Wednesday at the abandoned Ada H. Lewis Middle School on Ardleigh Street.
Scott, a recent Penn State graduate, was last seen at about 9:45 p.m. Oct. 4 on the 8300 block of Rodney Street, by the city's far northwest border. She was leaving her workplace, the Terrace at Chestnut Hill nursing home, at the time of her disappearance.
Authorities searched the Awbury Arboretum area without success, then the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force joined the search for Scott, as well as anyone she may have encountered.
According to authorities, King got rid of his vehicle, phone, and other belonging in an attempt to elude investigators.
King has a prior history of similar conduct, authorities said. Earlier this year, he was charged with kidnapping and strangulation involving a woman that was known to him. That case was withdrawn due to the witness failing to appear in court, authorities said.
However, that case is being refiled.
Anyone who has information on Scott's location is urged to contact police at 215-686-8477.
