She was found lying next to her bed. Clothing was found scattered all around her in a haphazard way, and the balcony doors to her second floor apartment were open. Investigators believed she had been dead for at least a couple of days.
News reports said that she had been raped, and strangled, but he medical examiner’s report stated that there was no definitive evidence of sexual assault.
What happened to Brittany Phillips? And could her killer already be behind bars, or is he still out roaming the streets?

They just took a chemistry test, and Brittany was looking forward to hanging out and celebrating her nineteenth birthday, which was coming up on October 4.
But then as the week rolled on, Lydia didn't hear from Brittany. And then, she noticed that Brittany didn’t show up for their next class on Wednesday. Lydia was unsure if she was overreacting, but her gut told her that something was wrong.
She called in a welfare check, and when first responders and police arrived, they found Brittany’s body in the bedroom of her apartment. News reports said that she had been raped, and strangled.
In the two decades since, ex-boyfriends and strangers have been questioned, sex offenders have been investigated, DNA swabs have been taken, but there are still no suspects. And the information that we found made me question if a lot of the “facts” that have been reported about this case are true at all.
We’re going to be going back to the beginning and ask some fundamental questions. Could the timeline of Brittany’s murder be off by up to 48 hours? Was Brittany definitely raped? Was this the work of someone who knew her and staged the crime scene, or could it have been a serial killer? And could that person still be out there?
And finally, could police have been on the wrong trail all this time?

Eighteen year old Brittany Phillips was a bubbly and bright college student with a bright future, but in late September, 2004, her life came to a violent and tragic end when she was raped and murdered in her Tulsa apartment. The news was devastating for Brittany's family, and it would be years of ups and downs in the case before it looked like the case might be close to being solved. Police had DNA to work with, and it eventually led to a suspect. Unfortunately, things were not as cut and dry as they appeared, and that suspect had an acceptable alibi according to police. The news was a letdown for Brittany's mom Dr. Maggie Zingman, but that has not stopped her from being a champion and advocate for her only daughter. In this episode, she discusses the long, winding path she has been on following Brittany's murder. She also talks about her advocacy for other people going thru similar situations.
If you have information about Brittany Phillips' murder, call Crime Stoppers at (918) 596- COPS.
