until I find a way to fix this website or create a new one. I NEED YOU HELP WITH THAT!!!

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!.

 

CBS ATlanta story

Full story aired Wednesday noon. WOW!

Nancy Grace and CRIMEONLINE

Unbelievable story gifted to us by Nancy Grace out of Atlanta.

UNBELIEVABLE GIFT FROM NANCY GRACE AND OTHERS

Most unbelievable day arranged by Sheryl McCollum of the Hapeville PD (West Atlanta) where she is CSI and also Director of the National Cold Case Investigative Research Institute. Nancy Grace graciously invite us into her home where she records her very well-known Crimeonline Podcast on Sirius 111 every weekday at noon. http://www.crimeonline.com/podcast/
It was unbelievable. Nancy, Joe Scott Morgan and Sheryl and I all discussed Brittany's case as well as national issues. All of them will forever have a place in my heart!

In addition CBS Atlanta's Daniel Wilkerson and his photographer spent hours with us as did Leigh Egan who is a crime-fighting journalist and editor who specializes in breaking news and investigative true crime coverage.

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".

HOUSTON WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART

What a great gift was blown in by winds that followed me to Houston. Angela Chen and her photographer spent more than an hour with me getting material to craft their story about Brittany and the CARAVAN at the FOX26 Station. The end result was a passionate, powerful poignant story. Their artistry created a story that had focus on the important aspects of CARAVAN tours. How impressive and what a great way to start the 15th CARAVAN tour. Angela, her photographer and FOX26 will always have a place in my heart. And today I have already had about 1000 hits on this website and multiple honks, waves and people coming up to me.

CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER TOUR STARTS MAY 1-MOTHER'S LOVE

I plan to get on the road for my 15th CARAVAN TO CATCH A KILLER tour May 1, 2017. It breaks my heart it has been more than a year. I am self-employed as a contractor with the Veterans so I do not get vacation time. Thus I'll go out two weeks along southern States southern border, into Florida and back along their northern border. I'll work for a week, then back out for another 2 weeks to NE States starting in Indianapolis,hopefully hitting some states that still don't take DNA at arrest. I'm used to being self-funded but any help IS appreciated whether it is with media contacts or gas. This will make year 10 of doing CARAVANS and almost 13 since her murder and little or no National news. IF NOTHING ELSE PLEASE SEND EMAIL, SNAIL MAIL AND MORE TO NATIONAL MEDIA ABOUT A MOTHER TRAVELLING FOR 10 YEARS ACROSS 46 STATES COVERING 162000 MILES SO SHE COULD SHARE HER STORY TO HELP SOLVE HER DAUGHTER'S MURDER AND EDUCATE COMMUNITIES ABOUT LAW CHANGE THAT WILL HELP KEEP OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN SAFE
