Phylicia was last heard from December 28 when she posted a note on Facebook. She is 5'8" tall ... and a straight-A student. In fact, she finished her high school studies ahead of schedule and planned to attend college in Baltimore.
We need to pray for Phylicia Barnes. We also need to find Phylicia Barnes. Here is an interview conducted with Phylicia's mother.
The FBI and Baltimore police are conducting the investigation. Police say that they obtained additional security video from the area surrounding the apartment, but it has yet to shed new light on the case. FBI helicopters have scoured the area for three days without finding any clues.
"If there's any good news, we haven't found anything yet," Baltimore Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.Police say several people who visited the apartment are considered persons of interest, and the two likely scenarios proposed by investigators are abduction or murder.
"At this point, you hope it's an abduction," Guglielmi said.We need to shine the spotlight on this case to ensure that all available resources in Baltimore and around the nation are galvanized to help locate this missing teenage girl. The Lakeesha Alert has been issued. Help us get the word out.
Barnes was last seen wearing a navy blue pea coat with a hood, a turquoise shirt and blue jeans, white slipper-boots and was carrying a caramel-colored purse.
Anyone with information in the case is urged to contact Baltimore Police at 443-984-7385.
