Teen goes missing on way to airport, luggage found in ditch

Katelin’s mom, Lisa Sullivan said she dropped her off at her stepdad’s home on Saturday and he was to take her to the airport so she could fly to Las Vegas at 5:40 p.m.  Katelin’s fiancé, Amber Rios would then pick her up and drive them back to their home in Lake Havasu City in Arizona.  Katelin’s stepdad said Katelin wanted to go to the Springfield Town Center mall first, and she would take the Franconia/Springfield metro to the airport.

“She never got on that flight,” Sullivan told Dateline. “We just haven’t heard anything and I’m really concerned for her safety at this point, like any other mother would be.”Authorities in Spotsylvania, Virginia state they can not corroborate the Katelin’s stepdad was in the area of the mall that day and there is no video of Katelin or her dad at the mall, BUT there were no surveillance cameras in that area of the mall that the stepdad said he was.  They do state though they positively know that the stepdad’s car was in the area of the mall, but they cannot confirm he, himself, was there.  Then later that week authorities stated they did have surveillance evidence that her stepdad dropped her off.
