Summary

In January 2018, 19-year-old Caitlin Denison boarded a plane from Reno, Nevada to Midland, Texas. The following day, she briefly spoke with her sister but hasn’t been heard from since. Though the man she traveled to Midland with was found and questioned after Caitlin was reported missing, Midland authorities had no cause to arrest the man – no evidence that he’d harmed the missing young woman. Months after Caitlin vanished, a video that went viral raised the family’s hopes that she’d been found, but those hopes were dashed as that mystery unfolded. The following year, a potentially grim discovery further sullied those hopes. Caitlin Marie Denison is still missing.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Caitlin Marie Denison please contact the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Missing Person’s Clearing House at 800-346-3243 or Midland Crime Stoppers at 432-694-8477.
