I have been following this case since she went missing in November. He mom said she was last seen on Thanksgiving. Before Kaitlin went missing she was in Abraxas, a treatment facility for at risk youth.
I am glad someone finally provided a tip.

Human remains have been found in North Union Township, Fayette County, state police said Tuesday evening, after officers were alerted to information about a missing person.
Sky 4, Pittsburgh's only news helicopter, over the scene on Hogsett Lane saw several police cruisers and a house and yard surrounded by police tape.
In a release, troopers said the remains were found in the area of Washington Avenue and Hogsett Lane. A forensic anthropologist was expected to arrive on the scene Wednesday to assist in the examination of the remains.
"The body was located about 50 feet from the house in an area close to the creek," said Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele. "The skeleton was partially exposed, but based on the location, I don’t think anybody would’ve seen it unless they were back at that area."
Pittsburgh's Action News 4 on scene learned the site of the investigation is a private residence. A white canopy tent set up on the property, police confirmed, marked the area where the skeletal remains had been found.
Aubele said the house on the property was abandoned.
State police could not confirm whether they found any identifying clothing on the body or how long the remains had been there.
When asked about the nature of the tip, Aubele said he could not divulge details about the information they received. He did, however, tell reporters that the information they received on scene was "consistent" with the tip.
Pittsburgh's Action News 4 is aware that Uniontown Police had been investigating the disappearance of a girl in the area, but when asked about that potential connection, Aubele said he could not confirm anything because the remains had not yet been identified.
