Case Information
33-year-old Caitlyn Rose Case was last seen in Paris, Texas on August 5, 2022. She disappeared while traveling from Houma, Louisiana to Colorado.
Background
Caitlyn Rose Case was born on January 25, 1989. She is a Louisiana native.
At the time of her disappearance, Case had recently moved to Colorado where her family members lived. She worked as a technical mechanic.
Disappearance
On July 31, 2022, Caitlyn Rose Case took a flight to Houma, Louisiana where she planned to purchase a vehicle.
On August 4, 2022, Case left Houma and started the trip back home to Colorado in her car. She was in constant contact with family members during her travels, and reported having difficulty with her vehicle’s navigation system and sporadic cell service in some areas.
Case later traveled through Texas and stopped at convenience stores in the cities of Mount Pleasant, Gladewater, Lewisville, Gainesville, and Paris.
On August 5, 2022, Case’s last contact with her family was a phone call she made to her father around 5:00 pm. She had gotten lost in the rural areas of Texas, and was last known to be traveling northbound on Highway 271, about 5 miles southwest of Bogata, Texas.
Case’s phone call cut out shortly after 5:00 pm. Her family kept trying to contact her that evening and into the next day but were unsuccessful.
Cell tower tracking indicates that Case continued north toward Paris, Texas, with her estimated time of arrival being around 6:00 pm.
Shortly after 7:00 pm, her cell phone pinged to cell towers in Pattonville, Texas, and south of Paris. At 9:17 pm, a license plate reader captured her car leaving Paris on the south loop of Highway 286 and traveling northwest to FM 79.
Her cell phone last pinged to cell towers in Choctaw County, Oklahoma. Her vehicle is believed to have traveled on Highway 271 after entering Oklahoma before it turned east on Highway 109, south of Grant, Oklahoma.
Caitlyn Rose Case hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
On August 6, 2022, her family filed a missing person’s report with the Houma Police Department when they couldn’t contact her.
Investigation
On August 12, 2022, Case’s vehicle, a 2006 black GMC Envoy with the Louisiana license plate 957FDO, was found abandoned behind a private gated property along a steep embankment on the Kiamichi River near Frogville, Oklahoma.
The vehicle was cradled in-between two small trees overhanging a 75-foot cliff. All of Case’s personal belongings were inside the vehicle, including her two cell phones and red tennis shoes.
A local resident witnessed two vehicles entering the property at an accelerated speed on the night of August 5th, but only one was seen exiting.
Authorities believe that someone other than Case attempted to dispose of her vehicle in the river. It is not believed that Case physically entered Oklahoma.

One question. Why would you fly to Louisiana to buy a car.
Car aren’t sold in Colorado?
A little odd and suspicious to me. Sorry for the family.
Was there any form or indication that Caitlyn had given anyone a lift ?
Was her car , when it was found in a drivable state , given that she was a technical mechanic ? .
Was she told when she bought the sedan that the navigational system was not working properly , did anybody go with her to view the sedan that she was buying , did she take immediate delivery of the vehicle ? .
Was the area were the sedan was found extensively searched ? .
Did any member of her family offer to go with her on were she was going to ? .
Did she meet someone on the plane , that she offered a lift to , and lost the way , other than what she knew , and tried to re – set the navigational system , but did not know the co – ordinates to input , due to the fact that she did not know the area ? .
Was the idea always to go and buy the sedan , and go directly back from where she came from , did anybody offer to accompany her for the duration or part of the journey ? .
Was her boss aware of what she planned to do ? .
These are terrible victim and family blaming questions. This is obviously the professional kidnapping of a young woman by a network of powerful individuals. Human trafficking and the murder of women and children remains a national disgrace. To have no clues after a year means either poor police work or collusion with the perpetrators.
Where was this last ping:
