85: MURDER: Brittany Phillips

On September 27, 2004, 18-year-old Brittany Phillips had what appeared to be a typical day in the life of a college student. She spent time with friends and called her mom later that night to catch up. But after that phone call, no one saw or heard from Brittany again.

She didn’t show up for her classes, she didn’t check in with friends, and she didn’t return any of her mother’s calls. Days passed with no word, until September 30, when one of her friends called the police.

When officers entered the apartment, they found Brittany on the floor next to her bed, with her head positioned toward the foot of the mattress. She had been strangled and possibly sexually assaulted. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, but detectives collected DNA from the scene, hoping that somewhere in that evidence was the identity of her killer.

Now, more than twenty years later, that DNA has still not resulted in any arrests, leaving her family still seeking justice.

18-year-old Brittany Phillips was last heard from at around 9:00 p.m. on the night of September 27, 2004, while speaking with her mother on the phone. She was supposed to attend an 8:00 a.m. class the following morning, but she never showed up.

Days later, on the night of September 30, Brittany was found dead in her apartment on East 65th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had been strangled and may have been sexually assaulted.

Anyone with information about Brittany’s case is urged to contact the Tulsa Police Department’s Cold Case Unit by email at TPDColdCaseHomicide@cityoftulsa.org.
