Baltimore's Blind Eye: The Case of Phylicia Barnes (part one)

Hey, Crime Clueless family — we're doing something a little different this week. We're bringing you a two-part crossover from our sister show, Vanished Voices, hosted by Jenna and Shannon. Vanished Voices focuses on cases that deserve far more attention than they get.

This week's case is Phylicia Barnes. She was sixteen years old. A straight-A honor student from Monroe, North Carolina, with a scholarship ahead of her and a whole life waiting.

On December 28th, 2010, Phylicia Simone Barnes was last seen in her half-sister's apartment in Baltimore — and never seen again.

In Part One of this two-part episode, we introduce you to Phylicia — who she was, where she came from, and the family that loved her fiercely. We walk through the days after her disappearance, the massive search that consumed Baltimore, and the devastating silence from a national media that couldn't find the time for a missing Black girl.

One hundred and thirteen days passed.

What happened next changed everything.

Part Two is available in your feed right now.

If you have information about Phylicia's murder, contact Baltimore Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP. You can remain completely anonymous.
