Terrifying hooded figure appeared at woman’s window… days later he abducted missing beauty queen, police say
Police believe the man in the viral clip is Keon King, 21, who was charged this week with kidnapping and reckless endangerment in connection with the disappearance of Kada Scott, 23.
Scott, a former Miss Pennsylvania USA contestant, was last seen Oct. 4 leaving her job at an assisted-living facility in Chestnut Hill in the middle of her shift. The recent Penn State graduate seemingly vanished, leaving her car parked at work and taking her phone offline.
The TikTok video, originally posted by another woman claiming that the man in the clip tried to break in to her home, is now part of the investigation.
Police said the clip appears to show King, who in January allegedly climbed a fence at his ex-girlfriend’s home and tried to break in.
In the video, the woman tells King to leave and urges someone off camera to call police. Moments later, King is seen walking to the side of the house, peering into another window and appearing to try to break in, investigators say.
Later that day, he allegedly abducted the woman from the street, forcing her into his car, driving at high speed, and biting her face while choking her. She was later treated for minor injuries.
King’s 2-year-old child was in the backseat of the car during the incident, Assistant District Attorney Ashley Toczylowski told NBC10.

While King was charged for the incident, the case was withdrawn in May 2025 because the victim didn’t show up to court, officials said.
In November 2024, King allegedly forced the same woman into bed and violently choked her, but those charges were also dropped when she failed to appear in court three times.
King’s gold 1999 Toyota Camry was recovered Wednesday and is being searched for DNA evidence that may provide more information.
NBC 10 reported that Scott, 23, might have been inside the car before going missing. Police are also working on obtaining video of King’s Toyota Camry.
After King’s arrest in connection with Scott’s disappearance, prosecutors refiled earlier kidnapping charges against him for the incident involving the TikToker.
King now faces a long list of charges, including kidnapping for ransom, false imprisonment, stalking, criminal use of a communication facility, reckless endangerment, and tampering with evidence.
His bail was set at or $250,000, and he remains held at Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility in Philadelphia.
