Caitlin Brandy Potts was last heard from on February 22nd, 2016, when she was 27 years of age. This individual has now been missing for 5 years as of the original publication date of this blog post.

The exact location of her disappearance isn't clear. What's known for sure is that she entered Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna, British Columbia on February 21st, 2016. There is video footage of her doing so. She entered the mall alone in the footage and a lot of the reports on her mention this as the last time she was seen.

But there is an alleged sighting in the small town of Enderby, British Columbia. This is northeast of Kelowna and on the highway that one would take if one was traveling from Kelowna to Calgary. That Caitlin was thought to be heading in that direction perhaps adds some credibility to this sighting. A CBC profile for Caitlin states the following:

Caitlin Potts, 27, has been missing since Feb. 22, 2016. The Samson Cree First Nation mother was last seen by a witness in Enderby, B.C. A missing person's report was filed with the RCMP on March 1. In May 2017, RCMP said they suspected foul play in her disappearance and released a surveillance video of Caitlin entering Orchard Place mall in Kelowna on Feb. 21, 2016. It's the last time she was seen.

What stands out with this case, is that she was using ridesharing. That's not exactly hitchhiking but it still creates a situation where someone is riding with someone that he or she does not know. We can imagine that unsafe situations might result from this. Using Kijiji is a little different than using ridesharing apps because the latter usually involves a review system or uploaded identification for drivers. According to her sister, Codi Potts: "She left me a message the morning she went missing saying she had found a ride on Kijiji to Calgary."

Furthermore, in many news articles, a rocky relationship with a boyfriend was mentioned. No suspect has been named in her disappearance.

Foul play is suspected in this case. Please, take a moment to share this on social media using hashtags relevant to the missing person's area. In this case, that would be for #Kelowna, #Okanagan, #Vernon, #Enderby, and #Calgary. Also, please include the website hashtag #MPCSL.
