Caitlyn Case vanished in Oklahoma during a road trip

In 2022, Caitlyn Case embarked on a road trip from Louisiana to Colorado, a journey that ended in tragedy after a wrong turn on the rural back roads of Texas.

Caitlyn disappeared without a trace.

When she stopped responding to calls and messages, her family reported her missing. A week later, her SUV was discovered abandoned on private property in Southeast Oklahoma, nestled between trees and perched above the Kiamichi Riverbank. Everything she owned—her wallet, phones, and even her clothing—was left behind.

Her family claims that despite the unsettling circumstances, law enforcement failed to conduct a thorough search or investigation. Accusing authorities of a cover-up, they sought help from News 9 to uncover the truth.

The investigation into Caitlyn’s disappearance revealed puzzling and unlikely explanations. Oklahoma’s Own Originals: Missing Case is hosted by News 9’s Karl Torp and Amanda Taylor, with investigative reporting by Lisa Monahan.
