On September 27, 2004, 18-year-old Brittany Phillips had what appeared to be a typical day in the life of a college student. She spent time with friends and called her mom later that night to catch up. But after that phone call, no one saw or heard from Brittany again. She didn’t show up for her classes, she didn’t check in with friends, and she didn’t return any of her mother’s calls. Days passed with no word, until September 30, when one of her friends called the police. When officers entered the apartment, they found Brittany on the floor next to her bed, with her head positioned toward the foot of the mattress. She had been strangled and possibly sexually assaulted. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, but detectives collected DNA from the scene, hoping that somewhere in that evidence was the identity of her killer. Now, more than twenty years later, that DNA has still not resulted in any arrests, leaving her family still seeking justice. 18-year-old Brittany Phillips was last heard from at around 9:00 p.m. on the night of September 27, 2004, while speaking with her mother on the phone. She was supposed to attend an 8:00 a.m. class the following morning, but she never showed up. Days later, on the night of September 30, Brittany was found dead in her apartment on East 65th Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She had been strangled and may have been sexually assaulted. Anyone with information about Brittany’s case is urged to contact the Tulsa Police Department’s Cold Case Unit by email at [email protected].

On the night of June 17, 1982, 20-year-old Kelly Bergh Dove agreed to cover an overnight shift at the Imperial gas station in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She wasn’t supposed to be working, but one of her sisters asked if she could switch—and Kelly said yes. In the early morning hours of June 18, Kelly called 911 three times, reporting that a man had been harassing her and making obscene calls from the payphone outside. Her final words to the dispatcher were urgent and terrified: “Please hurry, he’s back.” When police arrived just one minute later, Kelly was gone. More than four decades have passed, and Kelly has never been found. Her family is still waiting for answers—and still holding on to hope that someone, somewhere, knows what happened to Kelly Bergh Dove?

On February 10, 2021, four-year-old Oakley Carlson was seen for the last time in Grays Harbor County, Washington. She wasn’t reported missing until ten months later, on December 6, when a school principal called in a welfare check. When police spoke to Oakley’s biological parents, Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers, they gave conflicting stories and couldn’t explain where she was. An investigation was immediately launched, and what followed was a series of disturbing revelations—allegations of abuse, drug exposure, and medical neglect, all at the hands of Oakley’s biological parents. And yet, despite multiple investigations and searches, Oakley has never been found. Now, more than four years later, the question remains—what happened to Oakley Carlson? Oakley Carlson was last verifiably seen on February 10, 2021. At the time, she was four years old. She stood three feet tall, weighed around 50 pounds, and had brown eyes and brown hair. Today, she would be eight years old. If you have any information about Oakley’s whereabouts, you’re asked to contact the Grays Harbor Sheriff's Office at 360-964-1729 or Crimestoppers at 800-222-8477. There is currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to her discovery. If you don’t have information, but still want to help, you can share Oakley’s story and her flyer, which you can find at justiceforoakley.wixsite.com/home.

On July 11th, 1996, the half-naked body of Blair Adams, a 31-year-old Canadian citizen, was found in the parking lot of a construction site in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had been beaten to death and surrounding him were thousands of dollars in cash, gold, jewelry and travel documents. Detectives soon learned that in the days leading up to his murder, Blair had been acting strange. He told his friends that someone was trying to kill him, and he needed to get to the United States. Then, without warning, he left Canada, criss-crossing the U.S. border, switching vehicles, buying plane tickets, before finally ending up in Knoxville, a city where he didn't know anyone. Nearly 29 years later, investigators still don't know who killed Blair Adams, or why he was in Knoxville in the first place. Blaire Adams was last seen on surveillance footage at 7:37 p.m. on July 10th, 1996, walking out of the Fairfield Inn lobby in Knoxville, Tennessee, just off Strawberry Plains Pike. Early the next morning, his body was found in a parking lot of a nearby construction site, and he had been brutally beaten. Anyone with information in this case should contact the Knox County Sheriff's Office at (865) 215-2243.

On the morning of January 24, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse got ready for work after returning from a romantic getaway with her boyfriend. By 9 AM, she was supposed to be at the office—but she never arrived. It wasn’t like Jennifer to miss work without a call, so her boss contacted her parents, who immediately drove two hours to her Orlando condo. On the way, they asked the building manager to check her unit. Inside, everything appeared normal—nothing out of place, nothing missing—except for Jennifer and her car. Two days later, her car was found parked at a nearby condo complex, a mile from her home. Surveillance footage captured a person of interest walking away after parking her car—but to this day, their identity remains unknown. More than nineteen years later, Jennifer is still missing, and her family is still searching for answers. 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse disappeared on January 24, 2006. Based on the state of her condo, she had clearly showered and was getting ready for work when she left her apartment—either on her own or by force. At the time of her disappearance, Jennifer was 5’7” and weighed 130 pounds. She has sandy blonde hair and green eyes, and a green shamrock tattoo on her left buttocks. It is believed she had her cell phone, iPod, and purse with her. The exact time she vanished is unknown, but due to the condition of her condo, investigators believe she left—or was taken—between 7:30 and 7:45 AM on the 24th. Anyone with information is urged to contact the FDLE Orlando office at 407-245-0888 or email the brand new tip line at [email protected].

On the night of September 1, 2002, 35-year-old Michael Tardio and 31-year-old Christopher Monson drove to a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, preparing to finalize a deal that could change their lives. They were meeting a man known only as Mr. Big to sell $1 million worth of jewelry, which had once belonged to Michael’s girlfriend, Playboy Bunny Sandy Bentley. Hours later, a Mercedes SUV was found engulfed in flames in an upscale Studio City neighborhood. Inside, Michael and Chris were both dead—each shot multiple times in the chest. The jewelry was gone, and the fire had erased all forensic evidence. Despite years of investigation, the case remains unsolved, leaving investigators asking: Who was Mr. Big?

Find Baby Ember on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FindBabyEmber/ On July 1, 2015, six-month-old Ember Graham was staying with her father, Matthew, in Shasta County, California. According to Matthew, he fell asleep around 10:30 PM, just feet away from his daughter. When he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone. He called 911, and a large-scale search began. A few days later, Ember’s pacifier was found miles away from her home—but there was no other sign of her anywhere. For the last nine years, law enforcement and Ember’s family have never stopped searching. But she is still missing, leaving everyone asking the same question—where is Baby Ember? Six-month-old Ember Skye Graham went with her father, Matthew Graham, for an overnight visit on July 1, 2015. That afternoon, he made a stop at the Happy Stop store in Anderson, California. But after leaving the store, there was an unaccounted-for hour. Matthew and his cousin, Sara, later told authorities that he brought Ember home that evening and put her to bed. He claimed he fell asleep just a few feet away from her around 10:30 PM. But when he woke up just after 5:00 AM on July 2, Ember was gone.  Authorities quickly named Matthew a person of interest. Eight days after Ember was reported missing, her pacifier was found miles from his home. The next day, Matthew went on the run. His manhunt ended on July 13 in a fatal shootout. Detectives believe Matthew confided in someone about what happened to Ember and where she is. They are still searching for answers.

On the morning of August 28, 2008, Kanika Powell, a 28-year-old laboratory employee with top-secret security clearance, left her apartment in Laurel, Maryland, to run errands. She had spent the past five days on edge after three different men—one posing as an FBI agent and two claiming to be delivery drivers—knocked on her door, each asking for her by name. She refused to let any of them in. Just before noon on the 28th, Kanika returned home. Moments later, she was ambushed outside her apartment and shot multiple times. Despite years of investigation, her killer has never been identified, leaving many unanswered questions. Was Kanika targeted because of her top-secret security clearance? Or was there something even more sinister at play? 28-year-old veteran Kanika Powell received three mysterious knocks at her door, starting on August 23, 2008. The first man claimed to be an FBI agent. The other two—one on the evening of August 27 and another on the morning of August 28—said they were there to deliver packages. Each man knew Kanika’s name, but she refused to let any of them in. After the final knock, Kanika left home to run errands. She returned around 11:50 a.m. and was gunned down in the hallway of her apartment at the Deerfield Run Apartments in Laurel, Maryland. The killer and murder weapon have never been found.  Anyone with information is asked to call Prince George’s County Police Department at 301-352-1200 or Prince George’s County Crime Solvers Hotline at 1-866-411-8477.  Editor: Shannon Keirce Research/Writing: Polly Kotowski SUBMIT A CASE HERE: [email protected] SOCIAL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/detperspective/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/detperspective FIND DERRICK HERE Twitter: https://twitter.com/DerrickL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DerrickLevasseur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DerrickVLevasseur CRIME WEEKLY AND COFFEE Criminal Coffee Company: https://www.CriminalCoffeeCo.com Crime Weekly:  https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shop ADS: 1.
