Overview
- Prosecutors added counts including murder, robbery, firearms offenses, tampering, abuse of a corpse, conspiracy and obstruction after the homicide ruling on Wednesday.
- Police recovered Scott’s remains on Oct. 18 in a shallow grave behind the vacant Ada H. H. Lewis Middle School following a very specific anonymous tip, and DNA confirmed her identity earlier this week.
- Prosecutors say phone records, extensive video from the adjacent Awbury Recreation Center, a stolen Hyundai Accent later found burned, and a gold Toyota Camry tie King to locations central to the case.
- New court filings describe texts between Scott and King on Oct. 4 and surveillance showing at least two people removing a heavy object consistent with a body, as investigators pursue possible accomplices.
- King remains in custody with bail revoked after the murder charge, a preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 3, and community vigils and a town hall have pressed officials on safety and vacant property oversight.
