Hundereds gathered this weekend to remember and celebrate the life of Phylicia Barnes. Investigators in Baltimore say she went missing over the Christmas break and her body was found on April 22. She was floating naked 50 miles away from where she went missing in the Sesquehanna River. Phylicia’s death has since been ruled a homicide, and no further details have been released. Phylicia was living in Monroe, N.C., but planning to graduate high school early and attend Towson University.

Five facts about this case:

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

2) The FBI joined the case early on and her cause of death has been ruled a homicide.

3) Dozens of areas in and around Baltimore were searched and on the day Phylicia’s body was found, another nude black male was pulled from the same river. He was spotted by boaters three miles south.

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 did 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.

Eddie Salazar MISSING

UPDATE: Sadly, 8-month-old Eddie Salazar was found in the Spring River, just east of Carthage earlier this afternoon. Police say Eddie Salazar Sr., the baby’s father, is charged with filing a false police report, and is now considered the prime suspect in his son’s murder. This case is very similar to the Aveion Lewis case in Roanoke, Virginia where investigators say Aveion’s step father filed a false police report that his step-son was abducted, and a few weeks later the toddler’s body was found in a landfill.

Police say Eddie Salazar was abducted late last night by two masked men. He is only 8-months-old, and has a lung-shaped birthmark on his right bicep. Investigators say two men broke into Eddie’s home, beat his father, and left with the child. It appears, at this point, the abduction was random.
