Her alleged murderer, 21-year-old Keon King, now faces charges of murder, arson, and abuse of a corpse. Katie dives deep into King’s past history of violence. Then, she covers a crime in California, where another woman’s death exposed a different kind of predator. Self-proclaimed cosmetic expert Libby “The Butt Lady” Adame has been convicted of second-degree murder after an illegal silicone injection killed actress Cindyana Santangelo. Adame had been warned years earlier that another death would send her to prison, and now she faces at least 15 years behind bars.

A massive search effort takes place until police get a very specific anonymous tip that leads them to Kada's body on October 18. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack break down the clues that helped police collar a suspect and what investigators really discovered when the remains of Kada Scott were found in a shallow grave.
Keon King, a 21-year-old man whom police allege was the last person in contact with Scott, has since been arrested and charged with murder, arson, and tampering with evidence in connection with the case.

Kada, 23, was last seen shortly after arriving for a shift at an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill.
Police began searching the area on Saturday, Oct. 18, near the vacant Ada H. Lewis Middle School for Scott after receiving a "very specific" anonymous tip at around 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 17, authorities said.
Police previously searched the area of the school and arboretum in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia but reported only finding some physical evidence, without commenting on what evidence was uncovered. Community members voice anger and frustration at police while gathering behind the crime scene tape during the search on Saturday, saying they could have found the body sooner.
Investigators discover a person of interest. As the investigation continued, police determined 23-year-old Keon King of Dover, Delaware, is now a suspect.
Keon King had a criminal record prior to his alleged involvement in Scott’s kidnapping. Investigators say King kidnapped and assaulted another victim earlier in the year.

Shortly after arriving at work, Kada walks out, car still in the parking lot, and no cameras. Kada's phone goes straight to voicemail; the phone is possibly now dead, and there is no social media activity.
Two weeks into the investigation, investigators announced the arrest of Keon King, 21, for Kada’s kidnapping, but Kada is still missing. Investigators beg the public for help to track down King’s 1999 gold Toyota Camry, Pennsylvania plate MSX0797.
Hours after that request, a resident at Gypsy Lane Condos remembers a car matching that description had been parked in the lot for almost a week.
Officers descend on the community, where King’s family lives, cordoning off the parking lot to search. The Toyota is towed when police confirm it belongs to King.
Surveillance footage shows the car entering the gated Gypsy Lane parking lot 5 days before police tow it. A resident opens the gate for the driver, who sits in the car for about 35 minutes before leaving. It’s unclear if King was behind the wheel.
Just two weeks before Kada’s disappearance, King listed the car for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
Police are also spreading out from the last search at Awbury Arboretum. Acting on a tip, officers search across the street at the now-abandoned Ada Lewis Middle School.
During a grid search outside the locked building, they recover some of Kada’s belongings: her debit card and pink phone case.
