Phylicia Barnes was 16-years-old when she went to visit her siblings in Baltimore, Maryland for the Christmas holidays in 2010. She stayed with her 27-year-old half-sister, Deena, at her basement apartment. On December 28th, 2010, Phylicia left the apartment to grab some food and had plans with her other sister, Kelly, to get her hair done later that day. After 1:30PM, no one heard from or saw Phylicia again. Months later, after no evidence or a single clue, Phylicia was found deceased. There are shocking discoveries and many twists and turns along the way. So many questions have gone unanswered. The biggest question of all remains unknown to this day. Did the suspect, who was pinned for her murder, actually commit the crime?
