Phylicia Simone Barnes was visiting her older sister in Baltimore, Md. over the holiday when she vanished.

1) Phylicia Barnes, 16, disappeared on the afternoon of Dec. 28 from a Northwest Baltimore apartment.

2) The FBI has joined the case to help find her, and investigators are leaning toward foul play.

3) Authorities focused their search efforts earlier in the week on Leakin Park. Unfortunately, no clues from that search have led them to Phylicia.

4) Phylicia is from Monroe, N.C., about 25 miles from Charlotte. Her goal was to move to Maryland when she finished with high school.

5) Her family said Phylicia does not have a history of running away, and the last message she sent her sister indicates she may have left to get something to eat.

Phylicia was last seen wearing a navy blue pea coat with a hood, a turquoise thermal shirt, blue jeans, and white slipper-boots and was carrying a caramel-colored purse.

Susan Powell’s 29th Birthday Today Marked With Massive Balloon Release

Today is Susan Powell’s 29th birthday. Her friends and family will honor the day with a massive two state balloon release, one in Utah and the other in Washington.  Everyone from the public is welcome to attend.

Winter is approaching quickly, summer has come and gone and Susan Powell has not been found. Over the last ten months since she went missing on December 7, 2009, many bodies have been found in the desert. When her family and close friends would get word, they simply held their breath and waited.

Over the summer a couple of searches took place in the area where Susan’s husband Josh Powell says he went camping the night she disappeared. Josh is still officially a “person of interest” in this case, but investigators have not moved forward with any official charges. When Susan went missing last December Josh told investigators he took his two small children out in the middle of the night in the West Desert. Since then many searches have been executed, but unfortunately nothing has been uncovered.

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Bring Kyron Home

Kyron Horman is 8-years-old today, and sadly his family hasn’t seen him in more than three months.  The child vanished on June 4 from the Skyline elementary school in Portland, Oregon and hasn’t been seen since.  A fundraiser recently with the Godfather’s Pizza restaurants raised money to help aide the search efforts, and another fundraiser is planned for this Sunday at the Family Fun Center and Bullwinkle’s Restaurant.  The goal of the event is not only to raise money for the efforts to find Kyron, but also to celebrate his birthday.  The cost for a wristband is only $15 which includes unlimited rides and games.

Tonight Kyron’s family, along with members of the community, are holding a balloon release at 7 p.m.  People will gather at the West main Church in Medford. 

To keep up-to-date with everything surrounding this case, please become a fan of the “Missing Kyron Horman” Facebook page.  Volunteers help to keep the page updated with the latest information.

No one has been charged with Kyron’s disappearance.  If you have any information, please contact the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office: 503-261-2847

COMMUNITY GATHERS TO REMEMBER MORGAN, KILLER STILL AT LARGE

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Police sketch

Police sketch

On what would have been Morgan Harrington’s 21st birthday, family and friends gathered to remember this beautiful college student.  Over the weekend, a homemade quilt was left for Morgan on the Copley Road Bridge, the last place she was seen, and 21 purple balloons were released into the sky.  Attached to each balloon was the sketch of the man police believe could be responsible for her abduction and possibly even her murder. Investigators say Morgan vanished on October 17, 2009 while attending a concert outside the John Paul Jones arena in Virginia.  She was separated from friends around 8:30 p.m. when she walked out of the front entrance.  Authorities say Morgan called her friends inside and told them she was finding a ride home, and that they shouldn’t wait for her. State police officials report Morgan was last seen by the ticket office on the University Hall side of the building.  Morgan’s body was found on a farm in Albemarle County a little over three months after she vanished from the Metallica concert.  Investigators told me her body could have been on the farm as many as 100 days.

MISSING: Abraham Shakespeare

Abraham Shakespeare missing

Abraham Shakespeare missing

Abraham was a truck driver’s assistant who hit the $30 million jackpot in the Florida lottery in 2006.  He spend modestly, and only purchased a Nissan Altima, a $1 million home in a gated community, and a used Rolex from a pawn shop.  He often lent money to friends and strangers, but ultimately he just wanted to be happy.  Shakespeare would tell people he was on a budget, and wanted to help the poor.  Sadly, Shakespeare hasn’t been seen since April 2009.  His mother told investigators she spoke to him last in February 2009, but he wasn’t reported missing until November 2009.  I spoke with Investigator Wood from the Polk County Sheriff’s office, and she confirms they have named Dorice Donegan “DeeDee” Moore of Florida a person of interest in this case.  According to a press release, “Detectives say Moore began using Shakespeare’s cell phone in April 2009 to text Shakespeare’s relatives and friends in an effort to have them believe it was Shakespeare attempting to contact them… in addition, Moore is believed to have offered to give away a home work approximately $200,000 in exchange for making a false report to law enforcement regarding an alleged recent sighting of Shakespeare.”
