Family Of Missing Woman Caitlyn Case Fears Daughter's Remains Found In Southeast Oklahoma

The parents of missing Louisiana woman Caitlyn Case fear their daughter's remains were discovered Friday near the Kiamichi River in Fort Towson, Okla. in Choctaw County.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation confirmed it recovered human remains Friday on private property in Fort Towson. However, the remains were sent to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further examination and identification.

The OSBI, along with the Choctaw County Sheriff's Office, Hugo Police Department, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office responded to the area after a landowner discovered the remains.

Case's mother Peggy says she was notified by the lead agent that a landowner found remains in close proximity to where Caitlyn’s vehicle was disposed of in 2022.

Case fears the remains belong to her daughter, Caitlyn, who vanished on August 6, 2022, during a road trip from Houma, Louisiana, to her new home in Colorado. Case was driving through Texas and Oklahoma at the time of her disappearance.

“We’ve been in limbo forever, was she trafficked? Or is she still out there? We don’t know where she is – it is a horrible balance to live through every day,” Peggy explained ”Each day, it is where could she be?”

Peggy said the update came as a shock.

“To get that phone call out of nowhere from the lead investigator who has not spoken to us for nearly a year, we thought he must have a reason to believe it is her,” said Peggy.

The OSBI began investigating when Case’s car was discovered on private property near Frogville, Okla. on August 12, 2022. Since then, very little information has been publicly released as it is an ongoing investigation. 

News 9 Lisa Monahan has spent the last seven months looking into Caitlyn's disappearance for an upcoming report in the Oklahoma's Own Originals: Deadline series.

The chief medical examiner will be tasked with officially identifying the remains. 

OSBI Joins In Search For Missing Louisiana Woman

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is helping search for a woman whose vehicle was found abandoned in Fort Towson, Oklahoma.

The OSBI said Caitlyn Rose Case, 33, was last heard from family members on August 5, 2022, as she was going from Louisiana to Colorado.

Authorities said Case's 2006 Black GMC Envoy with Louisiana plates was found near the Kiamichi River in rural Choctaw County.

The investigation found evidence Case stopped at multiple convenience stores in North Texas the days before her disappearance.

The OSBI said Case is 5-foot-5, 140 pounds with brown hair and eyes. She was last seen wearing a black spaghetti strap top, light blue jeans and red tennis shoes.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the OSBI at 800-522-8017.
