After weeks of speculation and blurry photos circulating online, police have officially identified the mystery man seen with Kada Scott just hours before her disappearance — and the revelation is sending shockwaves through the investigation.
According to a confidential police source, the man captured on the bar’s CCTV footage around 9:15 p.m. the night Kada vanished is not a stranger at all — but someone who had already been interviewed by detectives in the early stages of the case.
Authorities have confirmed his name but are withholding it from the public until further questioning. What has been confirmed, however, is that the man has a prior connection to Kada — reportedly through a project she was working on before her disappearance.
Surveillance footage from The Blue Lantern Bar shows the two seated in a corner booth, appearing deep in conversation. At one point, the man slides his phone across the table, and Kada reads something on the screen before glancing away — visibly tense. Just ten minutes later, she leaves alone. He stays behind.
“The footage gave us more questions than answers,” said one investigator. “But now that we know who he is, this changes everything.”
Sources close to the case say the man was brought in for a second round of questioning late last night, after forensic teams matched his watch and jacket from the video to items recovered from a nearby parking lot.
Detectives have not yet said whether he is being treated as a witness or a suspect, but insiders describe the tone of the new interrogation as “very different from the first one.”
