MIDLAND – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is seeking information in the 2018 disappearance of Caitlin Denison, 19, of Reno, NV., as there is renewed interest in the case based on new information gathered by the Texas Rangers. Investigators believe the public may have key information to help solve this case.
On January 9, 2018, Denison met a male subject, and then, together, they traveled from Reno to Midland, TX. The identified male is known to have worked as a truck driver in the Permian Basin Oil Industry. It is believed Denison stayed with the male in his RV, which may have been parked in West Odessa.
The following day, on January 10, 2018, the RV was moved to a location in Midland south of IH-20/Loop 250. That same day, Denison advised family and friends that she was at the Wal-Mart at 4517 N. Midland Drive in Midland with the male subject but was “afraid for her life”. It is believed the pair visited the Domino’s Pizza on Linda Avenue in Odessa and then went to Rick’s Cabaret in an attempt to find Denison employment. That is the last day Denison had contact with any of her family and friends.
