Caitlyn Potts was last seen in February 2016; one of four missing women

Missing for five years

It has been five years since Caitlyn Potts went missing from the Enderby area.

Potts was last seen on Feb. 22, 2016, and made contact with friends on social media Feb. 26, but has not been heard from since.

The 27-year-old First Nations woman was reported missing March 1.

On May 22 2016, RCMP announced the Southeast District Major Crimes Unit had taken over the investigation into Potts disappearance.

In May 2017, RCMP said they suspected foul play in her disappearance and released a surveillance video of Caitlin entering Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna on Feb. 21, 2016, the last time she was seen.

Last month, a Gofundme campaign was launched to raise money to hire a private eye to search for Potts.

Potts is one of four women to go missing in the area between Sicamous and Yankee Flats Road near Silver Creek.

Ashley Simpson, who lived on Yankee Flats Road, was last heard from in April 2016.

On July 22, 2016, Deanna Mildred Wertz, 46, was also reported missing from the Yankee Flats Road area.

Nicole Bell, 31, was reported missing to police Sept. 7, 2017 from the Sicamous area. She was last seen Sept. 2.

Anyone with information on any of the missing women are urged to contact their local RCMP.
