Here's her facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/kaitleddy

Top of her page says "Kait Leddy" and right underneath it says in parenthesis "Kaitlyn Lantz Leddy". I wonder if she regularly goes by the nickname Kait, and I also wonder where the "Lantz" name fits in. Also, she lists Bryn Mawr as her location, so just pointing that in case anyone is searching online for her.

I could not find anything out there on her disappearance in MSM. Not that I snooped on family's pages, but if I did, I'd say that I didn't see anything there either (LOL). Makes me wonder if it was a voluntary disappearance (not that that makes it any less frightening for her family).

My question is why was she not reported missing earlier? According to what we have seen she disappeared January of 2014?

When person's case is added to Namus it does not mean that that is date when person was reported missing. Namus add older cases quite often, usually on push from families or LE.

One arrest record found from 2011 for being drunk and disorderly in public and for buying alcohol as minor. (She would have been 20 then?) For future records her date of birth is stated as April 16, 1991.

This is her sisters story in the New York Times
Years Ago, My Sister Vanished. I See Her Whenever I Want.
sadly it looks like she committed suicide.

What makes you say that?

From the sisters story
""At that point, it had been two years since the frigid January night when she took a taxi to the foot of Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Two years since my parents sat with detectives, viewing security camera photos that showed her walking toward the bridge’s high point in her red North Face jacket but not continuing. Two years since the searches for any trace of her came up empty.""

This makes me so sad.

I agree that it looks suspiciously like a suicide. I guess my only hesitation is this: don't bodies in water almost always turn up because they float? I'm wondering if she jumped, why has her body never been found?
