Katelin Akens, a 19-year-old woman, went missing in December 2015. She was supposed to be heading to the airport to catch a flight back to Arizona. Her ex-stepfather was giving her a ride but had to drop her off 4 hours early so he could get back to work. He later said that Katelin wanted to be dropped off at a nearby mall instead of waiting at the airport. She told her former stepfather that she would catch the metro to Reagan National Airport for her flight later that day. However, surveillance footage did not capture her at the mall, metro, or airport. Her suitcase was later found in a drainage ditch 50 miles from the airport, containing her plane ticket, ID, wallet, toothbrush, and phone charger, but her clothes, cell phone, and high school diploma were missing. Despite extensive investigations and involvement from the FBI, there have been no new leads or information about Katelin's whereabouts. Her family continues to search for her.
