The body found near the vacant Ada H. H. Lewis Middle School in Philadelphia's East Germantown neighborhood belongs to Kada Scott, police sources told CBS News Philadelphia Sunday night. 

The remains, which police said they found Saturday after receiving an anonymous tip, were DNA-tested and confirmed to belong to the missing 23-year-old, police sources said.

Scott, who lived in East Mount Airy, has been missing for about two weeks. Her family reported her missing on Oct. 5, and she was last seen leaving her job at an assisted living facility in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia the prior night.

Police said she arrived at work in her car and left before her shift ended without her car.

Her body was found in a shallow grave in a wooded area behind the school, officials said Saturday.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved daughter, Kada Scott. We kindly ask for space and privacy at this time as we process the heartbreaking events of the past few weeks. Our hearts are shattered, yet we are deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers from people across the nation and around the world," the family of Kada Scott said in a statement, in part.

"Please continue to keep us in prayer as we navigate this unimaginable loss. Our hearts are broken beyond measure. We are profoundly thankful to every person who shared Kada's story, joined the search efforts, prayed with us, and stood by our family during this devastating time," the family statement continued. "Your compassion, love, and strength have carried us when we could not carry ourselves. Kada was deeply loved. Her light, kindness, and beautiful spirit will forever remain in our hearts."

Police have been searching for Scott for days and even shut down the academy so 300 recruits could assist in the search, officials said. New Jersey State Police dogs also helped in the search process.

Police said they believe 21-year-old Keon King is the man connected to Scott's disappearance. He is currently being held on $250,000 cash bail, facing charges of kidnapping and stalking. He was the last person in contact with Scott before she disappeared, according to police.

Krasner said King has a history of similar charges. Before being charged in connection with Scott's disappearance, King was allegedly involved in two other violent incidents, but the charges were withdrawn. The district attorney's office said it will refile those charges.

The DA's office announced additional charges Monday against King, including arson, causing catastrophe, conspiracy, unauthorized use of an automobile, receiving stolen property, reckless endangerment of another person and tampering with evidence.

"No one is happy that this is the ending. Completely understand that this is a lot on our investigators, a lot on all of us. We all have family members, and this could have been any one of our family members. Could be anybody's family member," First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford said during a press conference Saturday.

Police are still working to determine how King and Scott knew each other, but they believe the pair came into contact in the days before the disappearance. Police said there is still a lot of work to be done in this case and encourage the public to keep sending in tips.
