⚠️ What isn’t yet confirmed

• No fully public obituary appears currently for Kada Scott in major databases; many reports still treat this as an active criminal investigation rather than simply a death notice.

• The cause of death has not been officially released (e.g., how she died, what circumstances led to her remains being located).

• While identification via DNA is reported, official public confirmation from the Medical Examiner in all sources may still be pending.

• Because this is ongoing investigation, certain details (e.g., motive, timeline, full suspect list) remain sealed or under investigation.

🕯️ My summary and what this means

It appears that the community, family and police all believed the case to be urgent, given the sudden disappearance, lack of activity on her phone/social accounts, prior harassment, and then the discovery of remains after a tip. The fact that remains were found in a shallow grave suggests what had been feared by many: that she did not simply go missing voluntarily. As the case is still in an investigative phase, some of the standard obituary/tribute material may not yet be prepared or public.
