As the clock struck midnight on December 31, 2025, families across the country welcomed the New Year with celebration. But for the loved ones of 23-year-old Caitlyn Rose Clark, the holiday marked the beginning of a terrifying mystery. Caitlyn was last seen at the Mall of America — and then, she seemingly vanished.

Days later, surveillance footage surfaced showing Caitlyn alive at a nearby Culver’s restaurant, seated with an unidentified man. The images offered a brief glimmer of relief — proof she had survived beyond the initial hours — but they also deepened the fear. Who was the man with her? Where did they go next? And why has she not contacted anyone since? 🕵️‍♀️

Her family says the silence is what alarms them most. They describe Caitlyn as someone who always checked in, especially with those she loved. For her to disappear without a word is entirely out of character. Convinced she may be in danger, they continue pleading for information, urging anyone who may have seen or spoken to her to come forward.

Caitlyn’s disappearance has also reignited urgent conversations about the crisis of missing Indigenous women — a pattern advocates say too often receives limited media coverage and delayed investigative resources. Her case now stands among many calling for greater awareness, accountability, and systemic change. ⚖️

Vigils have been held. Flyers have been posted. Social media campaigns continue to circulate her photo, her smile frozen in time as her family waits for answers. 🕊️

As investigators work to piece together her last known movements, one truth remains: Caitlyn Rose Clark is more than a headline. She is a daughter, a friend, a young woman deeply loved — and her family will not stop searching until she is found. 💫
