I AM SCREAMING/CRYING INSIDE.............................

Still reeling from all the news

Devastating news and back to ground zero on 15 year Cold Case

After media blitz in Tulsa last week, multiple discussions with PD, and people nationally I am still trying to deal with this. Copy this link and read story from Channel 6 Tulsa. There are also stories on Channel 8 channel 2 and Fox 23

MOST DEVASTATING NEWS-DNA PROFILE USED FOR YEARS--NOT OUR KILLER!

I am devastated. After 15 years using a DNA profile from 2 sources that logically seemed our killer, and after we had the Parabon phenotype picture developed, our DNA was analyzed by the best and she found a direct hit. Per protocol, the case was developed to look at him and his DNA obtained in the way it should after there is a hit, and it matched. BUT in the interview with him and two others, it was found, due to airtight alibi, that he couldn't be our killer.

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!This means all suspects we compared our main DNA profile to must be relooked at. This means we do not know if he is Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Asian etc etc.  IT COULD BE ANYONE! Tulsa Police department c seemed to think it was not important to share much of this information with me like alibi, etc. IF THEY DID I wouldn't have many questions. Past detectives and past head of homicide always shared info with me and told me not to share and I didn't. This current detective treats me as if he doesn't trust me and I have never given him any reason
HOMICDE FAMILIES NEED  INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY LIKE OURS, TO BE SHARED WITH THEM SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. ESPECIALLY WHEN A BIG CHANGE OCCURS. OR THEY NEED TO BE TOLD WHY THEY CANNOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION!!! God it is SOOO simple. I have been doing this 15 years and I fully understand  about hurting a case and I train PD and homicide families to understand both sides
Sorry you will have to copy and paste because I can't figure out how to embed this video

POSSIBLE CARAVAN TURN AROUND DUE TO MINIMAL STORIES

After being in the quiet of Missoula media,, I have decided to head home. A week without stories is too costly to stay in hotels, add miles farther from OK. Thanks to Cheyenne and Casper Wyoming for making our stories heard across the State and everyone who let me know! Thanks to people in Butte and Missoula who saw the car,noted they did, even without your media response to multiple queries. Please...not about just our story, but don't forget the thousands of individual murders , the families that have lost loved ones, have loved ones missing, have cold cases. They don't get the attention that mass shootings do. and they are as bad a loss. !!If you know any survivor of homicide or missing, give them a hug and tell them you care!! I!!f you know any survivor of homicide or missing share their case across the US, send it to me at therapoet@aol.com. The silence is a loud echo that reverberates inside the heart.!!

Sadly, after being in the quiet media of Missoula Montana, I have decided to head home. A week without stories makes it too costly to stay in hotels and travel farther from OK. Thanks to Cheyenne and Casper Wyoming for making our stories heard across the State. Thanks to the people in Butte and Missoula who saw the car and noted they did, even without your media responding to multiple queries. Not necessarily about our story, but please don't forget all the individual murders and the families that have lost loved ones, have loved ones missing, have cold cases. They don't get the attention that the mass shootings do. and they are as bad a loss. If you know any survivor of homicide or missing, give them a hug and tell them you care. If you know any survivor of homicide or missing share their case across the US, send it to me at therapoet@aol.com. The silence is a loud echo that reverberates inside the heart.

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!

What an unbelievable story by the Knoxville News Sentinel and Matt Lakin!!!! His informative but passionate story was such a gift. This photo, I think was from our 2013 visit to Knoxville

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.

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".
