breaking news from my local paper

Seriously confused.... The title says a body was found, the article says no body was found?

you and me both...I just spent 10 mins looking else where :waitasec:

The must have changed the title, I am not seeing anything about a body...?

I'm thinking someone slipped up... and LE needs to keep a lid on it until it's determined exactly who it is and notifies the family.

I have a bad feeling about it, but I will keep hoping, until hope is no longer an option. Dear Phylicia, please come home.

Now it says nothing was found in the search today.

Here's a snippet from UPI (but it just points back to that same article at the Baltimore Sun that has changed):

Police investigate whether body is that of missing N.C. girl
Local Baltimore

Jan. 20, 2011 Body found in woods in Southwest Baltimore City police on Thursday night...

Something that confuses me about the MJ story. I could swear that he was reported to have told DB that PB was still sleeping @ 1:30 pm.

Now he says that she was up showering at 10ish?

Why would a 16 yr old shower and then go back to sleep when she was planning to be picked up for a hair appt?

“We have been working this for 23 days. Following every lead, searching areas. We have searched Lincoln Park, searched dumpsters, hospitals, homeless shelters, you name it,” said Guglielmi.

"We’ve reached out to the family and they know that we’re there, and anything we can help with...they know how to get in touch with us," Kissell told NewsChannel 36. "I talked to the mom today and she said, 'There are not words to describe the support she’s gotten, and I told her mom I said, 'There are not words to describe our concerns for you."

In their quest to find Barnes, 17, Baltimore City Police urged network and cable newscasts to put her story on days after she vanished in December. Most did not, until police pointed out what appeared to be a bias in missing persons cases that get national exposure.

The only thing that makes sense to me is if she either stayed up really really late, and was sitting there watching TV or something and drifted off.
Or, she imbibed of something that made her sleepy.
Or MJ was covering for something else/someone else or was telling a lie.

Additionally, she did not have a hair appointment, as far as I can tell. KB was picking her up to hang out, they did not have specific plans, as far as I can tell. DB was talking with her about hair and beauty stuff, and talked about making an appointment, but PB had not made an appointment. The conversation with DB ended before that happened. This is part of why KB wasn't stressing if PB was asleep and not answering her phone. She wasn't worried about getting her somewhere on time.
IMO

I wonder if someone got mixed up when they posted that a body has been found? There is nothing on Baltimore sites about it, just about searching for her...

I remember with the Hoffman murders in Ohio, the recovery of the bodies was leaked, then covered up, then announced.
I hope that is not the case (because I want PB to be found alive).
We will know in the morning. Meanwhile, I hope the J Bros show up on Find PB, and continue telling their side of the story. We need the truth to come out.

from the above article:

Mary Bubala reports Baltimore City Police say they are satisfied Phylicia Barnes’ case is finally getting the attention it deserves from the national media.

It looks like all the MSM articles indicating a body had been found on the 20th have been changed to report nothing was found. IF a body was found and MSM was changed, that tells me they know it is PB based on clothing on or near the body and won't announce until the coroner has made an official id.

I can't see not reporting if a body was found and the possibility exists it is someone other than PB. Though, we'll have to wait for further news.

A body was found earlier this week in Baltimore but was identified as a male.

I want her to be found alive too, but I think enough time has gone by if she was off partying or having fun like a few cases we've seen she would have turned up by now.

I am posting this article because it seems to illustrate how something could happen and include multiple people in a cover up.

It is not related to the case.

Possible, but I think unlikely due to the recent breakup of DB and MJ's relationship. In order for everyone to be involved in a coverup there would need to be some cooperation from the B family since DB knew someone from MJ's family was in the apartment. I just don't see the two families covering for each other after the breakup.
