I have been communicating with the niece for approximately the last three months. What I am posting below is the transcript of conversation. Her replies are in parentheses. The pictures posted was evidence obtained by a private investigator she had hired. It is believed that Phyllis probably met her demise shortly after moving down to Louisiana. (Again, that is speculation and theory) I have been coming through newspapers.com subscription seeking anything I can find that might be relevant as well with no luck yet. I am using NAMUS and scanning USA and it doesn't take long to come up with a list of potential matches and/or descriptions that seem relevant. Phyllis is the oldest missing persons case in Missouri. She wasn't reported missing for almost 55 years. She was a child when she ran away. I want to find this girl. If you read this. Please help.
Did Phyllis have any physical deformities that would be easy to identify?
(((No she did not. It is so disheartening to not knowing.)))
I’m covering lots of material. Unidentified searches across USA at this time.
Did she have any nicknames?
Tattoos?
Dental work?
Last seen wearing?
Do you know the other girls name she left with?
Who was the man that said he took them to Grey Hound Station?
What was the girls story that returned? When did she last see Phyllis? What was her plan at that time?
I’ve heard the bus station and the bar as last seen? Is this something we know for a fact?
Also, would you prefer me write to the officials about to obtain more info? I do apologize for bother you.
Is your DNA or anyone else’s DNA on file to match or cross out potential identifications?
I’m listening to podcast now, apologize for questions.
(((I 100% know she took a bus and went to Louisiana. I've also found out since the podcast that she was arrested in January 2025 for vagrancy and she used to Alias name Phyllis Sommers, but signed it over the top of the name Phyllis Corbin. Her mind wanted her to write her real name and she had to alter it it's very legible that it's altered.)))
(((My DNA as well as her living sisters is on file in all databases as well as National Center for missing and exploited children)))
There is proof about the bus trip?! Oh, wow.
So, Uncle Mike no longer a suspect?
(((Nope he is not)))
So, 11/22/63 now is last date seen?
(((Yes)))
And when was arrest date? You write January 2025 earlier. That’s in the future. Typo?
(((January 1965 was an arrest under the assumed name)))
New Orleans?
(((It was a typo-I’m a property manager signing lease renewals for next year right now)))
(((Gretna Louisiana.)))
Oh, because the finger prints match! And that says 1965. So 11/22/63 on bus ticket is not last seen - it is 1/25/65 on the second fingerprint photo? Am I wrong?
So, since she was using an assumed name and actually went on the run (or moved on with life) is she considered missing if she doesn’t want to be found? Or is this a search to unite you as a family? Or concerned since it has been so many years?
Is there a mugshot of her arrest at that time?
(((She is considered missing she was underage when she went missing)))
(((here are no mugshots. Those were not digitized back in those days)))
(((Since she was only 15 years old she's considered missing endangered child)))
(((My understanding is that she did go to court and she paid a $50 fee or something and nobody was with her.)))
(((I had a detective working on the case for a long time. She reached so many dead ends after those arrests it's like Phyllis just fell off the face of the Earth.)))
(((Want to rest was for vagrancy and the other one was for being an underage barmaid)))
Have you written out any sort of timeline of factual events that we know of yet?
And is the stuff you sent me - all of the stuff the detective was able to discover?
Did she search all over Louisiana to get that arrest record? Or just the county?
Were you able to find ANY OTHER reason why your father’s side of the family just let her go from their life?
Have you ever found any of her belongings in family belongings that have been passed down?
(((Nothing was written by me, but I have some that was written by detectives. They searched LA general area because they tracked down a male acquaintance she was working for or living in a place he provided. Unfortunately, he remembered very little with his cancer and in his 80's.
The girl Phyllis ran away with was also found. Little memory too.)))
Any nicknames you’re aware of that she might go by? Patty?
(((Patti Ann was what she went by before she left home.)))
Hello, Good Morning.
Some questions.
Have you updated the multiple websites with new info/evidence? And when?
Have you been shown any unidentified remains or read any descriptions you find possible to be her? Or any ruled out?
Do you have any current theory of your own?
Has the detective quit working and if so, when?
Did you ever update the podcaster in regard to new evidence?
(((The detective sent the updated information as far as the eye color and hair color of when she was last seen and where she was last seen. Trying to get them to do anything that's another story.
I have submitted multiple people that I would like them to check. There's unidentified remains in Arizona in different places but nobody's willing to do anything because most of the time there's not sufficient DNA on those unidentified and I think part of it's probably the financial commitment.
My theory is she ran away and got caught up in a lifestyle that caught up to her. I don't think she is still with us unless she assumed a new Social Security number and everything she has never worked under her social security number she was given as a child.
The detective was pulled off cold cases July 2024. She chased on a lady that had the same date of birth same name Etc in Boston and that lady turned out not to be my aunt and next thing I know she was pulled off a cold cases and I have no idea where she's at because emails to her go on answered. I am in communication with Ed the one that did the podcast and he is aware of the updates. And has asked me to stay in touch.)))
What is the name of the last town she was in? I’d like to start looking at maps. (Mix and match my findings online)
I wander what the cause for the guy to want to drop the charges against her? How was she notified?
I also wander if Phyllis didn’t go missing while with her friend (or didn’t return one night) and she came back because she was alone.
Do we have the interview from the friend? I know you said she knows very little or remembers little but what is that little information she does remember? And what were the words from the land owner? Where her apartment was located?
(((The last town would be the one listed on the arrest record. 335 Lafayette Rd Greta LA)))
(((I was not given the actual reports. Those were private information with the detective. Let me see what I have in writing from the detective.)))
(((The guy was part of the mafia and not a good guy. I think there was somebody that didn't show up to court but I also think on one of the charges that the guy that was in essence taking care of her, which to me sounds like a pimp, paid one of the charges.)))
