An elite FBI team set up to find missing and exploited children has joined Baltimore police in the search for a teenager who disappeared last month, even as detectives search Leakin Park based on a tip from an Internet posting, according to authorities involved in the investigation.
As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, investigators were scouring the woods along the 4000 block of Franklintown Road after reading an online comment posted on a Baltimore Sun story about the missing 16-year-old girl.

City police said they searched several addresses Monday night, including the apartment on Eberle Drive of Barnes' 27-year-old sister. A police spokesman described the apartment as akin to a flop-house for students, but said nothing was discovered there that helped in finding the missing teen.

She has not been heard from since. Family members said her cell phone has been turned off and she has not updated her Facebook page, something she regularly did.

Leakin Park (Franklintown Rd) is infamous for the number of bodies found there. Hope it comes to nothing. The article also says Phylicia's phone is turned off.
And why were students using a 27 year old's apartment as a flop house? I bet they aren't students, just unemployed young adults. I think this is a step-sister and not a blood relative of the mother; I don't think the mother knew what kind of place the sister was living in. I think this girl's disappearance is going to be tied to somebody she met at the apartment.
Wouldn't a sister (half siblings or not) want to do whatever she could to help find her sister? Like allowing LE to do their job without the red tape of obtaining a search warrant? She could have just given permission to search, right?

Am I naive to think that serving search warrant shouldn't have been necessary? Wouldn't a sister (half siblings or not) want to do whatever she could to help find her sister? Like allowing LE to do their job without the red tape of obtaining a search warrant? She could have just given permission to search, right?
Praying for Phylicia.
Great question, and at first I was going to say that they need a search warrant for it to be valid proof in a case, BUT...

I was wrong.
The sister COULD of let them in to search. I find it crazy she didn't volunteer that as well.
i'm confused
it says they were in town visiting friends
when my family and i are in a different town visiting them, we are actually "visiting" them
as in....people take off from work...we do pretty much everything together, eat together, etc.....
was that not the case here?
it sounds like a totally different siutation
were her parents around actually working somewhere when they were from "out of town"?
do you know what i mean?
i don't know maryland very well
but we have friends in hagerstown, md and california, maryland...
are those close at all to where this happened?
