I can't imagine it will be long before the man who took her is identified. Those are very clear pictures of both the vehicle and the perp. I hope and pray Kaitlin is found soon!

Agree. I hope someone comes forward and that she's able to come home safely
 
Looking at those photos I'd like to know what the sticker on the vehicle says:

There's a lady standing in front of the vehicle, flags flying on the deck including a black one that might be POW MIA, hmm I can't figure out what is in front of left tire:

The decal kind of looks like some variation of the freemason/masonic compass symbol to me

The last update by the PD was asking for the public's help in identifying him, and that was two days ago. I would be surprised if his identity was still unknown after the clear pictures of him were made public. Maybe LE now knows who he is, but haven't announced it, because they don't want him to be aware that they know his identity.
 
I don't get it. He hasn't been named a POI or anything. They just think he knows where she is? Doesn't she have the same rights to go away and make bad choices as any other 19yo? Whose business is it to track her down, let alone him? Is there some reason to believe that she is in trouble or harmed? Not that I can tell.

SERIOUSLY? https://www2.ncdps.gov/Index2.cfm?a=000003,000014,000081,001683&mpa=6005
Citizens are asked to be on the lookout for KAITLIN MARIE BENJAMIN OLSEN, who is believed to be suffering from dementia or some other cognitive impairment.

She is obviously not just a 19 Yr old who decided to take off. She has some medical issues and posting his picture means they have some serious questions /reasons to talk to him. IMO

According to police reports, the missing teen has the mental comprehension of a 7 yr old child. She was last seen in her pyjamas, climbing into this man's vehicle, at 2:30 in the morning---and has not been seen since. Does this seem like a situation that should be ignored?

Basic human decency says that we should try and find this child because she cannot make these kind of life decisions on her own because of her disability.

The fact that a grown man, who was not known to her family, would come to her home and pick her up in the middle of the night, should concern all of us. JMO

From her Missing Poster:
She has Intellectually Disabled/cognitive ability of a seven year old child. She possibly got into a small dark in color SUV type vehicle on Bill Drive at 2:23 a.m., February 5, 2022.

If they have a good reason then let's hear it. Better yet, get a warrant. Otherwise, not good enough reasons IMO.

A warrant for what? I think/hope you are just missing the point. This 19yr old has been reported as having the mental capacity of a 7yr old. I don't know if you are a parent but if you had a child who in this case thinks like a 7yr old and went missing, would you report/show concern? This man may have been the last person to see/talk to her so LE wants to talk to him. At no time has it been said he is a danger or did anything. I'm confused as to your argument. IMO
I might add, he is considered a POI!

Teen...19...adult. She is allowed to leave and go do whatever she wants just like any other 19yo.
A special needs, mentally challenged teen is not treated the same as the average 19 yr old. Do you think that someone with the mental capabilities of a 7 yr old should be treated like an adult? Should she drive a car, maybe as a Lyft driver, since she is 19?
