3RD WEEK OF 18TH CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER TOUR

What if this was your daughter ? What would you be willing to do? I've traveled 220000 miles CROSS 48 STATES, taking story to every town, sharing our cold case rape suffocation of daughter in her 2nd story apartment (Brittany Phillips Tulsa 2004) BUT MORE SO how laws must change , MORE SO, connect with homicide families. At 64 how much longer can I keep my mobile billboard moving ! I'm on 3rd week of 18th Caravan To Catch a killer tour now Pittsburgh. MY MISSSION OF LOV...E continues but must head home. National news covers 1,000X the ground I can. Why aren't they interested in how a mother shares how DNA at arrest could save lives/ someday solve our murder? Why don't they see a moving billboard as newsworthy for the Girl Next Door . Doesn't 300 local reporters cross 48 States seeing Brittany's Cold Case, her rape suffocation as concerning for their cities , make it nationally relevant. where crime scene DNA has been up in the National Database a million times without a hit. Does national news really think this is a rare story? NOT!

18th CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER-MOM'S 210000 MI MISSION OF LOVE FOR ALL DAUGHTERS

Left on Caravan 18 Wednesday. Little Rock Friday and tomorrow . I've been driving around town and trying to contact media. No stories yet. Knoxville Tenn. next. If you know media, please let them know!!!

At 64, I am unsure how many years I can do this. I need National News to share the story, not only of her murder, but how we and others can use DNA phenotype pictures, how we and others can use DNA match so we don't have to wait for 15 years as we have

Was given a send-off Thursday ...by Miss Anderson's criminology class at Union before I added to 210,000 miles , and 260 reporters that have gifted us thru 48 States, since 2007. Read more about this class by visiting our facebook page  facebook.com/mom.missing.brittany.

After Knoxville, then Baltimore and New York City before I hit Albany New York where I'm presenting April 6th at New York's 15th or 16th annual missing day put on by Mary Lyle in honor of her daughter Susan.

Then back down East coast to Carolina's, then Augusta because Georgia still doesn't have DNA at arrest.

My tours AR not just about Brittany's story, but also advocacy for Law, and connection to other homicide families.
I am 64 so I am begging for people to send this story to National national news how on my own I've spent last 13 of 15 years traveling cross-country in three wrapped cars. Who else has done this?. I only have so much time left
Though self-funded and solitary , I am constantly gifted by thousands of people met on road!.

 

Boston, you have a place in my heart!!!!

LOUISVILLE 1ST STOP ON 17TH CARAVANTO CATCH A KILLER TOUR

All be it stopped by downpours, I finally made it to Louisville, KY Monday. HAve contacted media and a few Senators about KY's DNA law. If you see me, come up to say hi, honk or wave. Please call your local media if you see us or even if you don't!!!! The more we get the word out, the more lives we can save through educating others how certain laws made it easier for Brittany's murder to happen.

Oklahoma woman searches for daughter's killer in El Paso

ABC 7 EL PASO....YOU WILL FOREVER HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART!! What a compassionate story. It is such a gift to have the story in my first hours here in El Paso.

16TH CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER-MOM''S 185000 MI. MISSION OF LOVE-NOW NEW PHASE W/DNA PHENOTYPE IMAGE OF POSSIBLE SUSPECT

 

I am on my 16th CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER  tour's, currently visiting Odessa, TX. These tours are now my 14 year labor of love in honor of murdered daughter, Brittany Phillips (raped/suffocated Tulsa, OK 2004 --10-4-85 to 10-4-04).  (going to El Paso next)

 

 

Tour 16 is the inaugural tour with hood re-wrapped with our new DNA phenotype 3-D image of Brittany's possible killer . Though tours started to: 

*help solve her murder

*educate communities about sexual assault/homicide law change

*giving voice to  unsolved homicides across the US

 

THIS TOUR introduces how  a new forensic tool,  DNA 3-D phenotype image that has given our case new life. Not many PDs are using this yet.  My detective was able to get a grant, submit crime scene DNA to  Parabon Snapshot and within 3 months received an image. Tulsa media coverage of the image generated more than 45 tips in 48 hours

 

Visiting Odessa/other Texas cities  is important for my 16th road trip, (10 years, 185000 miles thru 48 States with 165 media stories in 48 States in  3 different wrapped SUVs) because Odessa and other Texas cities are connected to Oklahoma through crisscross of our highways and because large Border States with vast wilderness can create refuge for criminals. 

 

  CARAVANS were birthed when , regionally in 2007, more than 800 suspects DNA did not match our crime scene DNA (since then 3000 regional suspects & a million in CODIS with no match). Some suggested her killer may have moved on.  I knew I had to get her story beyond OK. Through the unbelievable donation of a wrap to my car (now 3 wraps), CARAVANS BEGAN.

  

It is my hope, now with an image, as I cover the US again, this picture will increase tips.

In each city, I talk to media, stop by police and Sherriff departments, travel around the city talking to people. Along with topics described above, now in the #METOO era, I am pleading for  # HERTOO-(sexual homicide victims that no longer have voice) to get more attention, especially related to laws.

 

These 14 years are a labor of love woven through tears . People met at rest stops, hugs given, thumbs up as someone drives by, people sharing prayers from many different religions or a $20 squeezed into my closed fist, all energize me to keep on. Gazing upon Brittany's smile each day as I step into my car, does, at times, have me tell her story through a veil of tears. Yet it warms my heart knowing Brittany, my dancing pony princess, her long blond curls framing her angelic face, and intense dark brown eyes, stares from the sides of my car, in many ways saying "listen to my story, help protect other families from this never ending loss".

GIVING VOICE TO THOSE SILENCED FOREVER

This is not Britty's story. It is the story of the girl next door, the common people of the US who are not being talked about. Where no one is discussing laws that would protect. Why not http://www.kjrh.com/news/mother-of-tulsa-rape-victim-speaks-out-against-recent-high-profile-sexual-harassment-allegations

Losses affect all of us in so many ways. Please any homicide families who see this story, connect with us.

Shattered Lives: The Murder of Brittany Phillips & Caravan to Catch a Killer 08/28 by Inside Lenz Network | News Podcasts

Shattered Lives: The Murder of Brittany Phillips & Caravan to Catch a Killer 08/28 by Inside Lenz Network | News Podcasts: Since her daughter Brittany Phillips' murder in 2004, Maggie Zingman has traveled the country on the Caravan to Catch a Killer. On October 1, 2004 a friend found Brittany dead in her East Tulsa apartment. Investigators said the killer raped and suffocated her. Detectives collected DNA from the crime scene and have since run over 3,000 samples in Oklahoma. Currently they are looking at one specific person, but the case remains unsolved. 'I know finding her killer is not going to bring closure, but I want to feel like at least I stopped him from killing other people,' Zingman said. Since Brittany's death, Zingman has found a way to keep her daughter's spirit alive. She travels across the country in what she calls 'A Caravan to Catch a Killer.' She shares Brittany's story and educates others about the benefits of DNA swabbing people under arrest.

TIRED, SAD, MEMORIAL MOVES SLOW, BUT I MOVE ON

Thank you Phoenix for all your kind words when I stopped somewhere. I have been here 3 days. No media responded to me so I must move on but I do thank those who acknowledged me. That made my day. On to San Diego. I am trying not to be sad but only 3 stories in 3 weeks is disheartening and makes me feel forgotten. We used to get 3-5 each week. If I could travel for as long as I wanted, this would not matter. But a week out cost me almost $1000 so 4 weeks out costs $4000. I never mind spending my own money but funds are limited. So $1000 per story is pretty high... I AM SORRY BRITTY. I KEEP TRYING.

CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER TOUR #15

Albuquerque/ Sante Fe THANK YOU. You have been great at rest stops, downtown, on the road...letting me know you saw us, asked abut our story.

And to all the people on I-40 driving to Phoenix--at rest stops and stores. Your coming up to me, offering hugs, prayers etc. ALL truly made my day. I am forever grateful
