DO YOU KNOW ME? 15 YEAR COLD CASE AND A "WRONG TURN ' IS DEVASTATING




Do you know me? The Girl Next Door, probably not cuz my murder so common. Like many 18-25 year olds, I was raped/suffocated in middle of night in a 2nd story apartment in Tulsa 2004. Mom thought I was at college classes those nights I didn't return calls. Nobody knew I was dead for 3 days, then buried on my 19th birthday October 4th 2004.

 I am one of million cold cases, often not told in National media cuz not exciting (sic), but shared by passionate podcasters, writers and  330 Regional reporters that mom met as she traveled 240000 miles on 20  Caravan to catch a killer tours for the last 13 years.

I know she fears she will die before my case is solved, especially due to recent changes when crime scene DNA used for 15 years was analyzed through GED match type analysis, and suspect most likely not our killer! Email me at therapoet@aol.com about this information.

 Please help. Contact her! Please call national news about her mission . I ride beside her she knows that ! What if this was your daughter?

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.!! IF YOU SEE ME ON THE ROAD, PLEASE EMAIL, CALL, SEND A LETTER TO NATIONAL MEDIA. I NEED IT MORE THAN EVER NOW

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!.

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!

More on the story as soon as we know play date. 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. She has her own website CRIMEFEED as well as reports for Nancy Grace's Crimeonline.
My heart is so full today of all the gifts. I can never repay them!!!!!

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".
