Case 146: Brittany Phillips

[@TheKiaraLady]

This episode has me crying like a baby, it's heartbreaking

[@truthylucy7068]

I can't begin to imagine the pain her mother feels. This is heart wrenching! 😭

[@Shady.Lady.]

Too sad. I hope and pray they catch the guy!🙏🏻

[@billie6814]

What a fucking terrifying flaw in the architecture jesus. I don't even like looking at the manhole in my own house and we have zero people living above us.

[@joeomalley1969]

How insanely cruel and hypocritical to give that poor woman a standing ovation then do absolutely nothing after that

[@leeh5307]

Been following casefile since working in a fruit packhouse during lockdown. Thank you for making those long 14 hour days entertaining and insightful.

[@Jolenesmart1980]

Wow 14 hours you gotta be European - probably eastern but living in Britain or something??

[@kikashmartin8700]

Thank you for a great video as usual.

[@stipV]

Devastating case! I was so frustrated by the end of the pod with no solution, can't even imagine how her family feels. Her Mother is incredible and I hope she finds justice some day. I must say, has the security guard been looked at again?! He refused to give DNA sample originally...

[@KenyanBunnie]

DNA was not a match.

[@kenyattaknox5163]

@@KenyanBunnie the DNA was a match for her friend’s boyfriend but for some odd reason they eliminated him because apparently he left his DNA there when he and his girlfriend stayed in Brittany’s apartment.

[@chillinglikeavillful]

The original DNA was ruled out bc it was the boyfriends so the security guard becomes a viable suspect again, I think it was that security guard

[@dorisbush799]

Thanks for spoiling it for the rest of us!

[@vjfeefeecat586]

What a mother! What a disappointment for everyone- that is a mother’s love 💕 thank you for telling the story my own heart was in my mouth.

[@paulabrown6840]

Bless this amazing mother! Brittany sees the total love her mother has for her. I am the mother of one child..a daughter... I send love and continued hope to this mommy! This POS WILL be caught and punished! Peace to Brittany and her fearless mom!

[@robbiekeen9508]

Its so sad!!!🥵 its awful how these beautiful, inside and outside, girls are murdered while attending college or university. God bless her mom and family and her friends. R.I.P. Britney 😥😥😥❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 you are all in my prayers ❤🙏

[@pennysue8849]

You have to admire the strength and endurance of a mother's love ,sorry about the outcome ,and pray for her ongoing strength .But she should know her precious daughter and herself has made things so much better for other victims and families. Much love and peace 💜💖💖💜💖💖💜💖💖💜

[@martinwarner1178]

Maggie, no more love could be shown than yours, my heart breaks at your final speech in this video. Peace be unto you.

[@sandcat66]

So devastating, thankyou for telling the story

[@bethallen5514]

My heart breaks for this mom

[@catherineturley]

I'm not sure i'm buying that somebody said her case was too boring. A psycho on the loose. A young, beautiful woman strangled to death. Thumb prints left on her neck. This is exactly what piques the interest of the public.

[@robbiekeen9508]

I like what maggie her mom did with britneys car, turning it into a caravan in pink/purple. And how shes using this tragedy to prevent any one else from enduring this tragedy. Her mission will help to get the perp. If anyone can donate any amt for maggie to carry on the mission. If 100,000 ppl donate $1.00 that'll be so helpful with gas, flyers etc. God be with all the family and volunteers. Im in canada so can't search or put out flyers but i am able to give some money. ❤

[@Beardwhip]

Imagine being murdered & having someone place advertisements for a toothbrush subscription on your grave. Sick.

[@RED-cy7ig]

I really hope they catch this person.

[@Eric_The_Eccentric]

I'd like to know which tv show it was who told the mother that it was a boring case. It's one thing to be a greedy Ahole but it's another to be so cold-hearted that they think it's ok to say that to the mother.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Too many pretty college girls going missing, or are murdered?

[@billie6814]

And poor Brittany was a white, blonde haired college student with a mom doing a mass media tour road trip tour to make sure Brittany wasn't forgotten and to change laws... it really hit home for me when they said it was "too boring" because I just imagined all of the indigenous women who are missing or have been murdered and can't even get the interest of their own government to help let alone a TV show 😟

[@Loralanthalas]

You people act like you have no idea how media works.

[@JonHopkinson]

Longest most painful commercials ever

[@Maligroot]

Love & respect 🇦🇺

[@mariapower9979]

I'm thinking the 4 way attic access to Brittany's apt is how the murderer gained entry...... I feel it strongly and would suggest examining the individuals living in those apts, as well as visitors, etc... God Bless Brittany's Mommy I am a Mom, too and I understand what propels her. You will help the detectives catch him and he will die behind bars. DNA research is constantly evolving and being refined...hopefully, they collected evidence that hasn't been processed yet....bcs, when technology catches up....the blood evidence will tell the story and lead you right to Brittany's murderers door‼️

[@naomiledger1374]

I agree with you considering nobody was seen and there was no evidence of forced entry. Seems logical that someone gained access through that attic space.

[@markeywestskies6503]

Shame on the tv crime series that deemed Brittany's case "too boring" to showcase...that's pretty cold.

[@AMYV3]

Thank you :)))

[@Jolenesmart1980]

Also wow no dna now means no way it’s gonna be solved without a random confession which is unlikely - poor mother having that face on her car and it was all irrelevant 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@darksoul479]

I don't like unsolved cases.

[@scorbunny7737]

Nobody likes unsolved cases 😔💔😖

[@abdihassan4944]

Thx

[@ANDREA-kk2gx]

How can a T.V. station say that a murder is to boring to make into an episode... Thats just disgusting to me

[@Jolenesmart1980]

It’s probably because there were no leads , a fairly simple rape and strangulation that happen all the time in America - glad I’m in the uk it’s more rare here

[@scorbunny7737]

​@@Jolenesmart1980 "a simple rape & strangulation" ??? 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Jolenesmart1980]

ADS? (turn off auto play)drag cursor to the end let it play last few seconds then hit replay - ads gone or massively reduced (just one easy way to get rid of them works for 90% people)

[@katiebee2937]

I dunno why did the guy who matched the dna keep quiet for so long 🧐 surely u would have said something. His blood on the wall too, your blood does not end up on the wall unless someone wallops u. Wonder how he talked his way out of it or perhaps friends in high places......

[@jayjayson5426]

You would have thought the police would have already interviewed the friends boyfriend as he had stayed the night,had sex in her bed,and left blood on a wall.yet TPD had no idea of this friend for 17years??no wonder it's not solved,Maggie is a inspiration.

[@kenyattaknox5163]

@@jayjayson5426 yep, I’m convinced that the tpd is incompetent. How in the hell did he convince them to eliminate him as a suspect with his semen on her sheets and his blood on the wall?!!! Unless the police is holding out to catch him up in a lie.

[@mgmyzy]

You can be sure of one thing this man knew she was living alone, and this security man she didn't like ,he could have had her ubication with the celular

[@PoetofHateSpeech]

Thats so wrong to take DNA from innocent people.

[@friendlylaser]

There is something creepy about parents who become obsessed with deaths of their children.

[@colinconnolly6285]

Frustrating case.

[@scottaznavourian3720]

The best friends boyfriend did it. I can't believe they have dna they just dismissed....ridiculous

[@curtisjeffries-ki2do]

Yeah, but the DNA wasn't found on her body. The amounts that were found were too small to be tested. The DNA surrounding the room area would be more convincing if she had no connection to the boyfriend guy, but she has ties to him. I agree with you to an extent, but I also see where the detectives are coming from as well, he has an explanation for why his DNA would be there- he's her best friends boyfriend. He knew Britney. Will be a miracle if justice is ever served in this case.

[@huntlife]

That backlog of dna samples? That's ridiculous. Lots of biology folks who'd work part time I think. to help. And that access from other rooms? Money owed to family for security breach.

[@brendajstevens3719]

👏👏👏

[@ambrr_lily]

Sneaky commercials from the creators themselves! I pay for Premium to avoid ads and this feels like cheating. That's too bad, these would be great listening otherwise.

[@KrystalLioness]

I can understand your frustration. They are just making up for sneaky listeners like me who use Adblock. I turn it off for my favorite channels like Casefiles, but sometimes I forget. I guess they have to find a middle ground.

[@heather_doestruecrime]

Honestly though, I’d rather hear some ads from somebody who takes the time to research and do a good job with the info of The case. People seriously don’t realize how important and crucial it is to never give wrong details in this commun

[@Jackalblade9]

One thing to remember is that this isn't content made for youtube, it's a podcast that gets reuploaded to youtube to broaden its audience.

[@ambrr_lily]

@@Jackalblade9 Hey, cool info. I had no idea. That does change things-- not my experience, of course, but my perception of my experience is improved. Thank you.

[@joshcougar5551]

Saying goes "if your innocent you have nothing to worry about" you should not be forced to give your DNA to the state unless you've been convicted of a crime. Obtaining DNA from an innocent person after arrest and storing this is an abuse of human rights.

[@wandawalker1437]

Uh if there's DNA at a crime scene and ur a suspect then they have to take ur DNA to make sure it doesn't match to prove that ur innocent

[@Jolenesmart1980]

@@wandawalker1437 that’s not why he’s saying - if you remember they asked one her ex dates who probably had an alibi because he wasn’t in the area even and he refused and turned out he was innocent !! The police can say anyone’s a suspect in that case just to get your dna - and he’s right when innocent they shouldn’t then be stored!!

[@maureenjacobs7452]

Can’t believe no one has matched DNA yet. Extremely sad.

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Huge backlog due to cuts in the budget? Private DNA labs are very expensive.
