Killer Writes in Victim's Blood: Catch Me If You Can: Stephen Bryant Caught, Execution set

Kada Scott, 23, recent graduate of Penn State, working overnight job at an assisted living facility vanishes shortly after arriving for her shift on October 4. 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.
