Keon King, the suspect in the kidnapping of Kada Scott, faces new charges -- including arson -- after Scott's body was found, officials announced.
King, who's accused of kidnapping Scott, was taken into custody this year on a similar charge but paid $20,000 and was released.
The missing 23-year-old’s identity was confirmed through DNA testing, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a Monday news conference.
The city courts called Krasner's comments "appallingly disrespectful and a sad attempt on his part to find a scapegoat for his own failings on this matter.”
