The disappearance of Kaitlyn Lantz Leddy, a 22-year-old woman from the Ardmore area of Pennsylvania, remains an unresolved missing-person case more than a decade after she was last seen.
According to the Charley Project, Leddy was last seen on January 8, 2014, after taking a taxi to the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia. Surveillance footage reportedly showed her walking onto the bridge toward its high point. She was never seen leaving the bridge and has not been heard from since.
What Happened to Kaitlyn Leddy?
At the time of her disappearance, Kaitlyn was 22 years old. She was described as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 115 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was reportedly wearing a red North Face jacket, black pants and black over-the-knee UGG boots.
One identifying feature listed in missing-person records is a tattoo of the letter “K” on her right hip.
The circumstances surrounding what happened after Kaitlyn reached the bridge remain unknown. Authorities have not publicly established what became of her, and she continues to be listed as missing.
Family Still Seeking Answers
Kaitlyn’s disappearance has left her family facing the particularly difficult uncertainty that accompanies a long-term missing-person case. Her sister, Kyleigh Leddy, has previously written about the experience of losing a sibling whose whereabouts remain unknown.
Despite the years that have passed, Kaitlyn’s case remains unresolved.
Investigation
The Lower Merion Township Police Department is listed as the investigating agency, with a phone number of 610-645-6236 in the Charley Project case record.
There has been no confirmed death, obituary or official cause of death for Kaitlyn Lantz Leddy. Her case should therefore be described as a disappearance, not a confirmed death.
Anyone with credible information about Kaitlyn or her whereabouts should contact the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.
