Katelin grew up in Spotsylvania and moved to Arizona when she was 18. Katelin’s Mother had to work on 12/5/15 so arrangements were made for family to drive her to the airport to catch her flight home. Katelin’s family member got called into work that day so they reached out to her former stepfather as a last minute fill in for a ride. He agreed to take her to Reagan Airport on 12/5/15. Katelin was dropped off in at the home of her former step-father who lives in Spotsylvania. She was dropped off by her mother who then went to work.

Two days after this on 12/7/15 Katelin’s suitcase turned up discarded on the side of River Road in Spotsylvania with most of the contents missing. Katelin’s ID was in the luggage. It is unknown who put the luggage there or why. As of this date no one has seen Katelin Akens and no trace of her has showed up on bank accounts, social media or in any other way. Her stepfather was initially cooperative and has since then declined to assist with this investigation.
