The following day, they filed a missing person’s report for Caitlyn, and police immediately began searching for her and tracking her cellphone data.
Through cell tower pings, they discovered that Caitlyn’s phone made it to Hugo, Oklahoma, a few hours after speaking to her dad, but that was the last piece of cellphone data they had.
On August 12th, Caitlyn’s brother was able to retrieve her Find My iPhone information and find the location of her cellphone.
Hugo Police headed to the spot with Caitlyn’s father, and it led them to a private, gated property where he was able to identify her car.
Caitlyn’s car was nestled between two small trees overhanging a 75-foot cliff, allegedly making it appear like someone had tried to dispose of it in the Kiamichi River. Once the car was retrieved, police found all of Caitlyn’s items inside, including her cell phone.
A local resident who lived near the property told police they allegedly saw two cars quickly enter the property on the night Caitlyn went missing, but only one left. Police believe someone other than Caitlyn drove to that property in Oklahoma and that Caitlyn did not physically enter the state herself.
Various searches have been organized to find Caitlyn, and sadly, they’ve come up with nothing. Her family is still determined to find her and uncover what happened to her last summer.
On their website dedicated to her case, FindCaitlyn.com, they’ve issued a plea for anyone with any information on their daughter to come forward.
“We are asking for your help to bring justice to those that participated in her disappearance and help in locating where our daughter can be found,” wrote her family.
“Deceased or alive, our family will be providing a reward to the person [or] persons once the information is verified. We believe our daughter was abducted and are desperate to find answers that will finally piece together what happened to her.”
“Our family will never give up looking for our daughter and never give up fighting for the justice she deserves. Our daughter is one of the kindest, most trusting human beings on this planet.”
