Barnes Family Under Fire: Russel Barnes Says, “You People Are Messing With The Wrong Family”

In the wake of shocking and disturbing details related to the Phylicia Barnes Murder Case that were revealed by the late teen’s mother Janice Sallis, for the first time we see a sudden emergence from members of the child’s Baltimore family here on the TPC Blog. Bryan Barnes (brother) and Russell Barnes (biological father) have weighed in on the discussion surrounding the details that led up to the senseless murder of such a promising teen. I applaud Bryan’s effort for stepping up and at least giving his family a voice in the presence of direct attack against members of his immediate family. There has been virtual silence from Russell Barnes and his children in Social Media since Phylicia’s tragic ending. We know that grieving families often need time and their space to heal and overcome what must be a complete horrific ordeal. If there is any member of the Barnes family who should be so delegated to take the reigns as the family’s spokes person, baring an attorney of course, it should in fact be Bryan Barnes. I have listened to radio broadcast of him, his speaking on television, and he clearly appears to be the only family member with objectivity, transparency, and a demeanor of sincerity when discussing the events leading up to the killing of his beautiful baby sister. In all of the articles that I have read in Social Media or elsewhere, I have yet to come across a single story where by those following the case have directly implicated him in the murder of Phylicia Barnes. Moreover, I believe that Bryan himself has wrestled with comprehending the details that his siblings have personally conveyed publicly under questioning related to their actions and knowledge about this murder case. Bryan has been quoted in media reports to have in fact stated, “We don’t care who is responsible for killing Phylicia, we want justice, even if it’s a family member”. This comment speaks volumes about what many have already concluded, that he himself at the very least, at some point in this investigation has considered that members of his family may be directly responsible, involved, or intentionally hindering the criminal investigation into the murder of Phylicia Barnes. I tip my hat to Bryan for having the courage to express this publicly. However, subtle inferences of the possible implication of his family in this crime is insufficient. I challenge Bryan Barnes to revisit the particulars related to this tragic event, and reevaluate his own personal perspective about this case. With that being said, it is only appropriate that I address the off color comments of Russel Barnes. His comment, “Ya’ll are messing with the wrong family”, is very interesting as well as disturbing, and I wonder what such an ambiguous statement implies. Assuming that his comment is a direct result of his stated displeasure of Blogs, their post, and comments, I can’t help but wonder if there is a veiled consequence or threat entailed in his blog posting. Also, Russell Barnes posted,”I’m going to hold my peace and let God fight all of my battles”. That comment seemingly also has an apparent veiled undertone. The term “battle” is extremely telling, and I’m wondering why Russell Barnes chose such a term, or why his obvious perception of conflict has derived from simply reading blog post entries. I’ll be realistic and admit there has been some direct attacks against him and his daughters related to this murder case, but it’s only rhetoric. Considering the fact that Russell nor his children have responded to most of what followers of this case in the Social Media arena have expressed, and I find it interesting that his family emerges after Mrs. Janice Sallis-Mustafa aired the family’s dirty laundry publicly. I believe that some of the details Mrs. Mustafa conveyed were extremely hurtful and embarrassing for her to make public, but I also believe she felt obligated to set the record straight about her own conclusions related to what happened to her child, as well as some of her personal experiences, and history interacting with the Barnes Family. Not only that, but her personal resolution that untruths were told to her resulting in allowing her precious daughter to visit the Barnes Family in Baltimore, and concluding with Phylicia being murdered, is an extremely compelling argument when considering some of the gut wrenching details she expressed, like Russell Barnes’s rejection of her child, and drugs and alcohol being introduced to Phylicia. Therefore, it is very troubling that Russell Barnes would suddenly appear with a debut comment in social media making statements with a veiled inference to violence and conflict battles. Quite frankly, I personally don’t believe such an effort displays any wisdom what so ever, especially when Russell Barnes and some of his children have suspicion lingering around them related to a violent Capitol Crime. In fact, I also believe that such comments ultimately validates what Mrs. Mustafa has already publicly expressed about the character of Russell Barnes. Now does this mean Russell and is kids are guilty, that what Janice Sallis-Mustafa shared publicly is accurate, and that the public will think any differently about this case? No! However, I must say that I heard the grief, pain, and distress in Janice’ voice when I spoke to her. Summarizing what the public already knows about this case, and the absence of any explicit rebuttal related to suspicions of criminal acts by Barnes Family members, or the alleged history of violence by Russell Barnes, creates a hell of a stigma for the entire Barnes Family to overcome related to what Mrs. Mustafa has personally expressed. Moreover, it is uncertain whether the comments by Russell Barnes were purposely expressed to convey intimidation toward those whom have spoken out with their opinions and venting their frustrations with the case’ slow progress, but I am convinced that such steam filled discourse by Russell Barnes only fuels a growing public sentiment that the Barnes Family may be complicit in the tragic ending of young Phylicia Barnes. The Statements made publicly by Deena and Kelly Barnes are contradictory and not logical. Also, they have yet to defend themselves from much of what Social Media and others from the public have expressed regarding this murder case. The lack of authentic grief on the part of Barnes Family members is compelling, unsettling, and questionable comments by their father Russell Barnes perpetuates continued suspicion which is compounded by the silence of his daughters..

IF MJ CAN SAY ON A SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE THAT DEENA NEEDS TO TELL WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON IN THAT APARTMENT. THEN HE SHOULD VERY WELL BE ABLE TO TELL MRS. MUSTAFA WHAT HAPPENED AS WELL? RUSSELL BARNES IS PROTECTING TWO OF HIS DAUGHTERS. WHAT ABOUT STEPPING UP AND FINALLY PROTECTING YOUR DAUGHTER PHYLICIA AND GIVING HER JUSTICE!!
All I can say to that Fancy is, AMEN!!!
Well . . . there is a saying that “The Truth Hurts!” and I feel that some guilty dogs started barking when the truths starting coming out. There had been a complete silence on their parts and all they wanted to do was “Stay focused!”, now all of a sudden he had so much to say. I think that Russell has been manipulating the media so much and everybody has finally let on that they are on to his little game and now he is PISSED!!!
As a father you can’t help but to be upset, saddened, deeply grief stricken, that is hard to hide, even for a man, and evidenced by the mother, we have yet to see sympathy from any of the Barnes other than Bryan. I think that he himself knows that Deena had something to do with it, and he knows deep down in his heart that his siblings and father knows what happened, he seemed to be the only level headed one and perhaps he is confused and wanted to speak out on their behalf. I don’t think he is naive enough to not know that his siblings have lied and lied and lied and that their dad is covering for them.
Russell’s disturbing comment did speak volumes, “You people are messing with the wrong family!” I felt the violent rant through the computer screen, it sent a chill down my spine, and I kind of hope Mrs. Sallis is no where near his presence because I felt that hatred he has for her. I think that speaks volumes about his guilt and he realized that he cannot tell anymore lies or cover for them anymore. I think that he realizes at this point that the public and police know they are involved and it’s just a matter of time before they will be brought to justice.
On the other hand, I feel sorry for Bryan for being involved with a much of lying, manipulative, people. He might be kind of scared/confused/hurt himself and trying to take up for them a little to make sure he’s not floating up the river. Don’t be surprised Bryan, remember the point is “Justice for Phylicia Barnes!” You said it, even if it’s a family member, don’t let them get to you and forget or get side tracked by your true cause.
It is also disturbing & disgusting that russell thinks that he’s in a battle talking about the battle is not his . . . why would it be yours if you are not involved? Definitely not sitting well with me. You might as well lie down russell because you definitely are sitting pretty . . . smh @ u . . .
I meant are not sitting pretty . . .
First and foremost, Russell is an idiot and look at his off springs! If Russell is such the bad ass man he claimed to be, why didn’t he beat the hell out Michael, since he was the last person who saw Phylicia? He did say “Ya’ll messing with the wrong family”. Isn’t Phylicia family, oh I see, they don’t see her as being a part of the family and this is why it’s so easy for them to lie; they didn’t care about her. Janice comments may have some veracity to it. Russell is a coward and a womanizer; he’s only capable of fighting women, lol.
Russell is upset because people are seeing through him and his trifling daughters. Look at his daughters and look at Phylicia, tell me that they weren’t jealous of her?
Exactly! Michael’s ass would have been beaten hands down and why was he still around them until Phylicia’s mother arrived? Could it be they were all conspiring still . . . My point exactly! They aren’t concerned about justice for her, he is concerned about covering for Deena, Kelly, himself and the rest of the clan.
He didn’t really care about Phylicia, because he wasn’t involved in her life for 8 years, he only was around her when she was visiting the Barnes, so it’s not like it’s a love lost for him. The family pictures a look superficial to me.
Yea he’s a punk, he looks like a woman beater, and those are the types that won’t stand up to a man. I agree he’s upset because he has been manipulating the media so long and now nobody is going along with his bullshit anymore.
I still can’t get over how he never has been to Phylicia’s school, then he had the nerve to show up with an entourage of media like any of her friends would still be there. That shows that he is a media hog and just wanting to be seen . . . why wouldn’t you go when the tragedy first happened? Why wait so long, that doesn’t sit well with me either . . .
I think they were jealous of her . . .
Yes that picture is superficial; Phylicia was cropped into that photo, but they can continue with their lies, but at the end, truth and justice will be served.
If and this is a big IF. If Mike and his crew somehow were not involved, what about the mysterious other sibling that was recently mentioned. There is a guy around his mid or late 20s that is shorter than Bryan and has some similar features. He drives a gold color 4 door car with tinted windows (at least that is what he was driving back in January). Is he the mystery sibling? Did police check this guy’s whereabouts on and around December 28, 2010? David, can Janice confirm this? Is this the other sibling or should it remain a secret to the public as to whether the mystery sibling is male or female?
Just Curiouss, I will only say that I don’t believe the mystery sibling lives in Maryland. However, when Mrs Mustafa revisits the Blog I’ll let her respond to your question. She spoke to me about this, but I don’t think it would be appropriate to comment on matters regarding their family that I wasn’t authorized to talk about.
I agree with you dbrianadams, I don’t really think that sibling had anything directly to do with the case.
I don’t think it’s a big IF, I think that Michael and his clan were indeed involved . . . I think it was A LOT of people involved.
Hmmmm . . . I would like to know about the mystery sibling thing. What reason if that was the mystery sibling described above, would he have to murder Phylicia? Why woudn’t he get the other siblings. I don’t know about that. I would like to get an understanding of that mystery sibling myself.
When will the public hear from the Johnson Family? They have escaped the media, radio and any other form of communicating. Most guilty people love to stay silent and pray that the focus will shift towards others.
It’s important to balance things. We must remember that several men were at the apt. We must remember who the last people were to see Phylicia and we must also remember the names that the police wanted to investigate for sexual exploitation. Half sister Deena was one of the names connected to the emails.
Has anyone from the news channels or peas radio attempt to put a little pressure on the Johnson’s? The pressure is needed. It’s time to get them to speak. They are purposely avoiding interviews imo. That speaks volumes. The silence is part of their security blanket. We see what happened here on this blog when the Barnes were spoken of.
It’s really rough to say if some of the older people truly know what happened. They will probably only know how much has been told to them. Sometimes children are afraid to tell their parents if they did something really bad.
So what is needed, is to place the spotlight on each individual that was constantly around Phylicia at the time because I really don’t think that the people involved told their parents everything. Maybe they did. Can this blog create pressure on the Johnson’s. We wanna hear what they have to say being that MJ is the one who gave the time-line. He was the leading person on the day in question. He was running the show. Most times, if we pay attention, it is normally the person who has dictated the activity of the day, will normally be found out to be the guilty party. Certainly Deena broke the law in more ways than one. And if you break the law, legally you’re guilty. She is also morally guilty. So to be guilty by law and morally, speaks volumes. We need to hear from the Johnsons or either reach out to MJ’s lawyer to see if he will speak on their behalf
Now thats is an excellent point, I also want to hear what their mother Pat has to say, a year is approaching and no one has been charged yet.Put pressure on them and they will talk.
What involvement does their mother Pat have? I’ve haven’t really heard any mention of her since the past few days.
That is a good question about the Johnsons! I wonder why they have been so quiet. I looked at their twitter pages from back in December, around the 25th to the current. The ones that I could see anyway. It seemed like they had a lot of activity going on. They were communicating back and forth. It seemed that they were really busy out in the snow, drinking, smoking, getting up with each other, then all of sudden the communication halted. Then it started back up. They even had a few mentions of the police harassing them in there also. When I look at some of their pictures, especially one blowing a cloud of smoke, and a lot of them standing around drinking, even Deena in some of the photos, it’s just unsettling with me. I feel that all of those goons were capable of doing something to her. Also on Glenton Imprezadent Johnson’s photo, on August 29, there is a picture of a girl that looks like Phylicia Barnes to me. Some people think that it’s not her, but a girl named Crystal Caster that’s tagged in it. I don’t know, but I messaged her the link and she has yet to answer me back. But anyways . . .
I wonder what the investigation of the email accounts, myspace, twitter, facebook accounts revealed. It sounded like they did find nude photos of Phylicia Barnes, and were all of them taken before, during, after he dissaperance? What about the posts after Dec. 28 on her facebook and myspace pages? Who posted those? About her being alone with the sister’s boyfriend and the post about her playing in the snow.
Another thing not sitting well with me is thing about the shoes Phylicia had on that was not supposed to be out in the snow, why would Deena be so hellbent on “making sure” Phylicia did not wear those outside, that has not been sitting well with me either. Like, if you were’t there how in the hell do you know what she had on? Just really strange to me! If you listen to the peasintheirpod interview, she has really stressed that, and her voice sounds sketchy:/
I wonder what all of the emails revealed. I also wonder if the police have checked detailed billing of Phylicia’s cell phone, it’s never to late to request that from the phone company, especially if her mom agrees, or maybe he mom can get it. I’m interested in really her last 3-4 days, especially 24-48 hours, everybody who called, texted, how long calls lasted, and how many messages were sent, and the 28th and so on definitely!!! I think that will reveal several calls. Also, I think looking into Deena, Russell, Kelly, Michael, Bryan, everybody else suspected/closely involved cell phones and text messages to see how many texts, calls, and how long the calls lasted. I think that’s important as well, especially if somebody could compare a trend of calls previously to see if anything was new, normal, unexpected. I wonder if maybe their phones might can be pinged or GPsed to see what areas they were in from December until her body was discovered. I think that will speak volumes as well, especially if anybody was near that river or in the area, or anywhere close to the dam.
I agree, now there is silence among the Barnes as well. Does anyone know an email or link to get in contact with the investigators, or pass that information above along about looking into their phones?
I don’t think they told their parent/grandparents anything either. I bet their parents/grandparents would be surprised to see all of the wild parties and stuff they had.
I agree, I think all of the Johnsons need to speak out and I think that Deena, Kelly, Russell, need lie detector tests on like 3 separate occasions alone.
Great post Nicole. You made many interesting points. For starters, when you mentioned how Deena was stuck on talking about the shoe/slippers. She was so focused about the shoes/slippers.
Many times when people mix the truth with lies, they’re going to always throw in small details that MATTER.
Having said that; There were some key words imo that stood out back then. There was heavy talk about the (shower). I think that’s important. It was said that Phylicia was just exiting the shower.
It was said that Phylicia REALLY wanted/anxious to go get her hair did. I don’t understand why her hair should have been that messy. Most girls, while going on vacation, get their hair did first, most times will get a style that will last for the visit. Phylicia wasn’t there visiting for very long. We can SEE in each of her pics that she LOVES to be pretty and she loves to smile. She likes to look good!! Especially in PUBLIC. Somebody or someone must have messed her hair up. It sound more like Phylicia was (complaining) about her hair.
It was also mentioned about skin products. It almost appears as if Phylicia was (complaining) about her skin (face area). If Phylicia had indeed been drinking and smoking, it will begin to break her face out.
(if) indeed Phylicia posted on FB that she was hungry at the time, that would probably indicate that (if) she had been hungover from the night before, she must to have been feeling a little better (if she was ready to eat). With all the traffic running in and out, the apt probably never stays loaded with food. Men eat a lot and men that smoke get munchies often. If Phylicia’s face and hair was messed up, she wouldn’t have walked anywhere in the public, unless she was trying to escape from the apt from danger. She wouldn’t have been able to get far. The guys had cars and they’re also stronger than Phylicia, She was also out numbered.
Things like the shoe/slipper comment. Hair and skin comment. Shower comment. Hungry comment, Here with Mike comment, along with Phylicia staying persistent, making constant calls and text to come get her. She wanted someone to come get her right then and there! We know what that means. She was in trouble. Isn’t that right Deena? smh
The post that says, here with Mike,… why didn’t Phjylicia mention any other names other than MIKE? Does this mean that the others showed up at the apt after the post was made? Were one of the brothers on fb at the time and happened to read the post about Mike being there alone with Phylicia, which alarmed the other Johnson’s to go back to the apt immediately? Or was Phylicia already gone and one of them posted the comment to use for code talk that could have meant (time to come and clean up evidence)? and why didn’t Phylicia speak to her Mother after DEC 25th?
THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT CONCERNING THE MAN THAT WAS FOUND IN THE WATER WITH PHYLICIA? I AM COPYING & PASTING FROM A BLOG WE DISCUSSED THIS ON AND WOULD LIKE ANYONE’S THOUGHTS ON IT.
I just find it hard to believe that both of their bodies were found nude in the same body of water. People don’t take off their clothes and jump in water, they are just going to jump! I wonder if anyone ever looked at this guy’s house or considered how far it might have been from the water/dam?
I found that link, well post I mentioned that you said if I find it post it here. It was on this site about theory behind the man found in the water with her. October 1, by that Kenny guy that posts on here. There Is No Way That The Johnson’s Dumped Her Body Way Out There In The Conowingo Dam. That Took Someone That Is Used To Handling A Morbid Corpse. The Johnsons Had Help With That Poor Girl’s Body Being Dumped Way Out There. I’m In That Area… Near Where She Was Taken From Very Often And There Are Many Places Where Young Scared Kids Could Have Dumped The Body. No They Had Professional Help Doing That And The FBI Knows It.
Food For Thought: The Police Said That The Male That Was Found Naked That Day Also In The Water Had Nothing To Do With The Case. To Me That Is Main Key To This Case. That Guy And 2 Others Lived In That Area. They Moved To Pennsylvania Aroun…d January Or February. The Other 2 Says That He Returned To Get Some Belongings That He Left Behind When They Moved But Never Returned Back To Pennsylvania,But Ended Up At A Hospital Out There For Wanting To Kill Himself. Who Moves All The Way Too Pennsylvania Obviosly With A Moving Truck,Yet Doesn’t Packup And Carry All Their Belongings And Returns The Door Keys? I Belive At One Point In Time That Phylicia Was Being Held At The Place That Guy And The Other 2 Moved From. It Was Getting To Him What Happened And So He Wanted To Kill Himself.
He Was A “Loose End” And Others Involved Took All His Clothes Off {Like They Did Phylicai} And Tossed Him In The River Naked.
I copied and pasted that from the post, I don’t know but it makes more sense that that, that guy has some relationship to the case opposed to just floating nude in the water
I wonder if this can be passed along to the police and detectives. I wonder if they ever looked at this guy’s house or anything before they just dismissed the thought of him being involved in it?
Exactly Nicole,I Mean Like How Many Times To We See On “Live At 5” News Of A Naked Dead Body In The Conowingo Dam??? Zilch.
I am in agreement that people aren’t going to take off all of their clothes and jump in a river. They are just going to jump! I think that both of their bodies were placed in that river to maybe make it look like those 2 might have been together to take the heat off of everybody else and place it further away. From the sound of it, it seems like the river/dam is pretty hard to get to, so that sounds strange to me.
Exactly! Does anyone know how far the guy’s house was from the dam? If he was moving, maybe they were using his house and maybe they lured him back, especially if he was a drug addict, or gave him some drugs to help out.
Thanks for posting. Trust me they have looked into it. They swept him being unrelated too quickly. There is more to that part of the story.
Sorry meant to say they swept him being unrelated under the rug too quickly.
And Why Were The Authorities So Quickly To Rule Out That Guy As Being Connected.
Damn we thinking the same thing.
Is There A New Species Of Fish That Loves To Undress Folks In The Water Now All Of A Sudden?
You’re welcome, the more and more I have been reading her blogs and articles, I have just been feeling like this guy is in some way connected either voluntarily like being given some drugs, or using his house, or involuntary, like he was set up in some way to take the heat off of others involved
I was thinking the same thing, that was FAST & he had to have some connected either knowingly, or he was plotted into it the scheme
And . . . if he jumped in with clothes on, more like than likely they would have been stuck to his body because it was freezing cold and in water. Another thing is their bodies had to be placed in there the same time because they would have been eaten by an animal or their body caught/snagged by something solid and heavy in the water.
The guy found in the water…I feel as if he IS connected. He might have walked up on something that he should not have seen. He may even tried to help Phylicia for that matter. If he was trying to harm Phylicia, he’d probably still be alive, if you follow what I’m saying. He would have been on the enemies side. Did this man own a car or some sort of transportation? Did he get car jacked in order to use his car to transport Phylicia’s body?
Also, the story about the shelter. I believe a police officer told somebody to throw that lie out to the public, just to throw off the investigation. If we pay close attention to THAT lie, a police officer (with no name) was mentioned in that lie. Something like..a police officer dropped some girl off at the shelter..so on and so forth..kind of like a half truth, which is ALL they have been telling all along anyway.
I agree and where are the man’s clothes? There should be some traces of his clothing somewhere or something. He didnt walk to the water naked.
Many criminals know that if they burn evidence, it would be the quickest and most convenient way to get rid of it. Of course they could have burned the bodies as well but some people might not be able to stomach doing that. No disrespect. Did the law even find Phylicia’s phone??????????? Were there any talks about any fires around that time that may have been close by the apt or an area where any of the guys live???.
Have they mentioned the cause of death in relations to the man found in the river? Did he drown? Was he shot first? Did they find drugs in his system? Does anyone know? Was he residing in an apt, house or motel? Not hard to tell at all that Phylicia’s taking was an inside job, which began at the apt or apt area.
Someone said that one of the younger Johnson brothers were up talking to Phylicia until 4am or so. I could have read wrong. Was his twitter name ?-bones? If so, he must have been having some personal issues around the time Phylicia went missing. Someone tweeted him in the middle of the morning saying that they hope things get better for him. His fb has also been LOCKED down from day one. Closed to the public. Another one of the Johnsons family members, with different last name, didn’t tweet on the 27th but began tweeting the 28th at around 4pm. Very explosive tweets.
I wonder if the police, SBI, FBI checked his house to see how far/ or how close it was from the damn. I wonder if any evidence or clothes may have been at his house. It’s just too mysterious for both of them to be found the same time with no connection.
David! Great job with helping keep these unsolved cases alive. There are so many Phylicias and their cases are not kept in the media like they keep the natalie Holloways. We must advocate and continue to make sure Phylicia and other unsloved cases are not placed on the back burners.
Yes why wasn’t MJ beat down? Isn’t that a fathers/brothers first reaction, when it comes to protecting your daughter/sister and wanting answers? Was there really an appointment at the hair salon? Did any sister call to cancel it since they supposedly couldnt reach Phylicia? And what about the man in the river same day same scenario is there a connection that the cops are not revealing, or did they just truly dismiss it as being coincidental?
Good question! What hair salon was she supposed to had been going to? And what excused was used to cancel her appointment if indeed it was missed or canceled. I hope they are just not revealing or did a through investigation before ruling it out.
Its so obvious that none of you have a heart! Your not giving truthful answers to what really happened to Phylicia and u scum bags don’t realize not only have you failed Phylicia in life but also in death, Come clean and tell the truth so that Phylicia can truly Rest In Peace!
God, give us all the glory and love, on this day, as we (((speak’eth))), the truth.
Such a shame to see how the older crowd in B-More have to be drag through the mud for something their kids did. Seems like their kids are going to be selfish til the very end. But we see how each of the older people love their kids so much. And we remain to see their kids who did this, continue to be selfish. Watching their parents being attacked for something their kids did. How much do they really love their parents?
Mrs. Mustafa loves Phylicia S. Barnes. Glory be to God Almighty. Mrs. Mustafa wasn’t selfish. She allowed Phylicia’s half sisters in B-More and all the others who proclaim love for Phylicia in B-More, to see the beauty within and outer beauty that God granted to Phylicia. A gift from God given to Mrs. Mustafa. After visiting B-More, the gift was delivered back to Mrs. Mustafa in an ungodly and undignified fashion. Like the souls of the people who did this to Phylicia S. Barnes.
Everyone is speaking of love but what was done to Phylicia, is not love. It’s not godly. The older crowd in B-More pray non stop. Some say they’re faking but they are praying. We know Phylicia wasn’t hanging around the older crowd. Where are the kids who were involved? Why are they not praying? What are they ashamed of? Being talked to and talked at and talked about? At least they can still talk. Consequences and repercussions to actions and activity. The older crowd kids don’t even care enough to stop all of this so that their parents can have some peace once again. They won’t let anyone have peace, and mainly it is Mrs. Mustafa and Phylicia who deserve peace first. The kids are showing how selfish they are. The kids are showing how irresponsible and immature they are. Their behavior has been exposed as reckless behavior. Out of control behavior to the point, a life was taken. Each kid played a role in one way or the other. This is what the parents are going to have to come to reality with and if they love GOD, let each person do the right thing from this day forward.
The older people in B-More can protect their kids but they MUST understand that their kids didn’t protect Phylicia S. Barnes
If there are parents in B-More, who feel as if they are protecting or standing by their kid, that means that your kid played a role in one way or the other of what happened to Phylicia S. Barnes. Just like you love your kids, Mrs. Mustafa loves Phylicia S. Barnes unconditionally. A life was taken. Gone. No rewind. No take back. Just gone for no good reason at all and if you are a parent in Baltimore or a parent connected to Baltimore, and you feel the neeeeed to protect or stand by your kids, that means your kids played a role in the death of Phylicia S. Barnes. The death, of another person’s kid. As we pray to our God, in return, we must LISTEN to his words and do as he ask of us to do. It’s in the bible. Let’s end this now. I’m certain it’s a hard position that the parents are in but tell your kids to stop this now and to tell the truth. A life was taken because of their reckless behavior.
And remember Kelly what would you do if your kid was found floating up a river and the same for you Michael and your baby momma. Do the right thing, let this girl’s real family/friends get some kind of peace before her 1 year mark is up.
Do the right thing and tell your adult children to come clean!
All of the kids were hanging around together. We are the company we keep. So happened Phylicia was the outsider. From another place. Why wasn’t any of the B-More kids injured or killed? Because they have a closer connection to one another but how could they be so cruel to do an outsider like that? As many of them as they are that hung out at the apt, you mean to tell me that Phylicia couldn’t be protected? Each of them were protected. Some of them talk real tough too. Guns and everything but….non of them could protect Phylicia..Now all of a sudden, the outsider was left alone, to fend for herself, only 16…Why is that Deena, What happened Mike. What went wrong? We see the two of you got mad at each other at one point and time in the mist of all of this. How did Phylicia get into the middle of all this? Who took advantage of Phylicia. Wasn’t she the youngest? That’s so tacky. Cruel.
Exactly, that’s what leads me to believe that they were involved. You would think people would know better than to mess with that clan of people, especially as deep as they rolled. Some of the pictures I’ve seen of them scares me through the computer screen. We all saw pictures of them on face book, my space and twitter, they are heavily artillery loaded with guns. Hell, per Glenton Imprezdent Johnson’s page, he likes playing paint ball and has Deena and the rest of clan tagged in the pictures. These are dangerous people. Why in the hell would a woman indulge in a game/round of paintball? That is crazy, maybe getting practice for her gang banging. Ugh, just sickening! They seem to always be surrounded by a butt load of people. Nobody wasn’t just rolling up on them thugs the wrong way, especially when Russell brags that he has a blood connect, and they have insiders in the police department, I don’t buy that one. SMH
Glenton Imprezadent Johnson is 31 years old. Why the heck does he hang around teenagers, Mike too? Recently using Deena’s old apartment address for his address. I think he his hiding out somewhere just to avoid more questioning. Police can find him on his job. They are just bad influences on their younger brothers and cousins. They must have take a family oath to keep quiet on the streets. I would like to ask Mike where did he go fishing when he was younger? Patapso State Park was one place? How about Susqehanna State Park? Who took you fishing Mike when you were growing up? Word on the Bmore streets is that you used to go fishing!!
Somebody name bootz said on Myspace that Phylicia should go to school in B-More. Then, when Phylicia was missing, somebody on facebook ask bootz, was he going to help search for Phylicia. He said “I guess”. WHERE IS THE LOVE? Another person tweeted, “Just leave my family alone”. WHERE IS THE LOVE? Another person tweeted, “Forget this stuff that’s going on. Family over everything”. WHERE IS THE LOVE? Somebody tweeted to that same person, Was she your boo”? That person tweeted back with a lol and tweeted, “Not anymore”. WHERE IS THE LOVE? One person allowed Phylicia to smoke and drink, and lord knows what else. WHERE IS THE LOVE? One person said, “It wasn’t MY responsibility to baby sit her”. WHERE IS THE LOVE? If Phylicia was THAT hungry and a vehicle was there, why not get her something to eat? WHERE IS THE LOVE? Food should have been in the apt anyway while Phylicia was visiting. They didn’t have to kill her. And one crazy dude on facebook even ask, “How many of you think we’re the killers”? WHERE IS THE LOVE?
This is the behavior of the parents in bmore… kids..This is their kids behavior. Those are facts above. Where is the love? Where is it?
The picture on Myspace for the person that said Phylicia should go to school in Bmore was Little Glenton aka “bootz”. Does he have a fedious for boots? What’s up with that nickname? He goes by Lil_Senca on Twitter. They probably have more than one screen name.
Yea I bet they probably do, all of those different names each of them have had so far. If Mike went fishing as a child, maybe he would know about all of those places to ditch a body.
WOWWWWWWWWWW! Not anymore? I think that speaks volumes, and why was that so damn funny bootz? Unbelievable and unreal. How can anyone be so unsympathetic and unempathetic and uncompassionate about Phylicia losing her life? Probably someone invoved in taking it. SMH
Then, people wanted to get together and collaborate on the timeline. One half sister says something about 1:30pm for her timeline and the ex-boyfriend-mike says that’s around the time he left the apt. I guess they agreed to use that specific time. Wouldn’t even tell the truth of who all was at the apt that early morning.
Past social network sites shows who all helps one another to move. And also show which one of the family members in the Johnson’s family that is normally ask to help out with moving. The big Crazy dude that is 31.
Being that we know it was an inside job, we already knew they went overboard with the loud music playing and door wide open. Staged. Perhaps the music had been playing loud to drown out Phylicia’s voice before they took her away. Some of the guys tweet about females being too loud.
Someone allegedly text around 5 something pm saying that Phylicia was up and active. So I guess THAT person must have been at Phylicia’s location. Since they knew she was active. and wasn’t it said that the guys went back to the apt a couple of times. Why did they have to keep meeting up at the apt? Why didn’t they stay together if people were moving together. What? Did they have several different vehicles to transport items, things, people…body’s????
What about their cell phones, I’m sure they would have all been in contact with each other. I say ping everybody’s cell phone to see where they were. I bet it’s some kind of connection there.
If none of them did it, they set it up and let their friends do it. and they must be scared of their friends. Was the boss man of the apt, only the boss man while he was in the apt? While ALL the others were using Deena, was Mike’s friends and family using him so they can have a hang out spot? Free loading? They didn’t care nothing about Phylicia!! None of them wanted to live at home with their parents. Even some of the ones under the age of 18. They liked Deena’s apt more betterrr. Why is that? They couldn’t be themselves around their parents. That means they lie to their parents and are ashamed of some of the things they do. They ALL know what happened to Phylicia. Every last person that was hanging around Phylicia knows what happened. If those people really loved Deena, at least one of them would have told her what happened to her sister, not unless they knew that Deena already knew. Deena shouldn’t be liking any of those so called friends anymore, if they can’t even tell her what happened to her sister. All of them know what happened. Why doesn’t Deena know, if all the rest of them know. She must don’t have any true friends. They must only smile in her face. Look what they did to her sister and she’s scared to talk!??!! Her sister Phylicia should mean more to her than her fear. Phylicia was scared too!
Deena knew what was going on, that’s why she lured Phylicia there and bought her plane tickets. She conspired and plotted, before, during and after. It’s no way, and so did all of those other thugs. None of them were raised with Phylicia, so they didn’t care. Its no way in this world I would believe Deena didnt know what was going on and had a hand in it along with the rest of those goons.
I am re-reading some of the comments but the one about kids being in the apartment under 18 stuck out, once again Deena should be liable for ALL that went on inside her apartment. The owners of the apartment building should be liable for allowing that to be a hangout for minors and allowing multiple people to live there. If I’m correct wasn’t Deena and MJ the only ones on the lease? If people where moving things out of the apartment I’m sure something is on that camera.
She sure should be liable! She was drinking and smoking and getting high with those kids and probably furnishing them with drugs she told from the pharmacy, shame on you Deena! Didn’t she get evicted from the apartments? Isn’t it odd that her and Kelly moved to other cities? What are yall running from? You should’ve ran before you allowed and plotted and conspired against Phylicia and her murder. It seems like it should be on a camera somewhere. What about the heavy bag he was spotted carrying?
Something that caught my eye, citizens are really concerned. Justice for Phylicia Barnes!
I am copying the link I posted on the Baltimore Police’s facebook page and some other pages like that I found on FB! We the citizens trust that you all are working very hard to solve Phylicia’s case. We are not trying to rush you, but hoping you are very close to being done and have checked & exhausted every lead! Everybody close to her, and her detailed cell phone billing, text messages, incoming/outgoing calls, even between suspected/involved/closed related people to see who all they talked to. We hope that you have even thoroughly investigated the guy that was found in the water with Phylicia and his house to make sure it wasn’t any foul play that occurred there because it is odd that he and she would be found in the same water and not be related somehow. We are trusting you to solve this case and bring home ALL of the proper and related arrests to everyone who contributed, hindered, delayed, and had any ties to Phylicia’s disappearance and death! We hope no crooked police/people in your department or nobody related to any Barnes/Johnson has any hands, eyes, nor ears anywhere near the investigation! Please do the right thing and let justice be rightfully served
This came from fb. I will remove the name:
******* ******* January 17 at 6:47pm Report
umm. U gotta understand things from my perspective. Im assuming your her friend or family memeber? Im tired of being harrassed by people. Random phone calls. People on fb. Its alot to go threw.plus the police. And my brother glenton was with my father all day at the hospital. I think u mean my other brother. If ur pointing the finger at people. At least get the people right ur pointing the finger at. And im also sure u dont know the whole story. Every story that i read on every news channel. Every talk show. And all police reports have been wrong. And her half sister isnt telling the whole truth either. She’s lied multiple times to phylicia’s mother. Phylicia mother and i have never talked. So she really dont know what i have to say about the whole situation. Nor does she know everything that went on in that house because phylicias half sister is to much of a coward to tell her
Wow what was going on in that Apartment??!!
Did that person mean house or apt? Was Phylicia in a house somewhere? That person must have meant apt and maybe thinking about a house? I guess it could be an easy confusion or error in wording.
WOW! Who in the world wrote that? Deena needs to come clean and so does Kelly. I bet they are sitting somewhere reading stuff. That monkey horseface Deena eating bananas, and Kelly sitting somewhere good eating twinkies.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT . . . WHY IS RUSSEL RANTING ABOUT OPINIONATED PEOPLE VOICING CONCERNS AND OPINIONS AND CARE FOR PHYLICIA, BUT WOULD TAKE HIS COWARD ASS TO LOOK FOR PHYLICIA. COULD IT BE HE ALREADY KNEW SHE WAS DEAD?
That’s a good question. Did someone say he is a blood or former blood member? If that is the case, he shouldn’t had an issue with gangster territory. Maybe the territory was the crips in blue territory. They wouldn’t have known if he was a blood or a crip. Old school gangsters aren’t afraid of nothing like THAT. He must have enemies over in that area. It still doesn’t matter. His baby girl Phylicia should have came first. What if she was in that area alive at the time? Was he going to let them keep doing whatever they were doing to her just because he was afraid? But what about Phylicia? Phylicia S. (BARNES)
He really should take a good look at his two older daughters and how the situation went down and played out, with the understanding that Phylicia did nothing to deserve the treatment she received.
One thing that’s hurting the biological father is the defensive wall he has shielding him. It is a fact that his two older daughters totally FAILED in keeping Phylicia protected. It doesn’t mean that they murdered their sister but they were negligent in many areas, which could have contributed to the death of Phylicia S. Barnes.
I suppose by law, Phylicia was allowed to be at the apt alone at that age. But the circumstances of the environment should be considered and the fact that Phylicia was unfamiliar and naive to the area. It was an unsafe place for Phylicia to stay being that mainly older males were in and out at anytime of the day or night. It was known what type of activity these males engage in. Why leave a 16 year old at home alone? Especially knowing people would probably be running in and out on alleged final moving day. I guess the sisters jobs meant more to them than Phylicia? Jobs do understand emergencies occur. I’m sure their jobs knew that their baby sister was visiting.
But just because an opportunity had arisen, it didn’t give the males the right to take advantage. As it was stated, the males took advantage of an opportunity…..that they should not even had; had Phylicia been monitored and protected
Deena does have a lot to hide her first reaction when Phylicia was missing should have been to call her parents in N.C. She should have welcomed Mrs. Mustafa with open arms when she came to search for Phylicia and confessed to her evertything ,why is she taking the Mustafa’s through this?
WHAT’S WRONG RUSSELL AND BRYAN BARNES KAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?!?!?
Exactly! They came on here roaring like lions, I guess the truth hurts. You know they read it, Kelly probably somewhere with a box of Twinkies reading, lol. *WAVING A TWINKIE, HI KELLY LOL.y
See how quiet it gets when the truth is being told? If truth isn’t being told, let the people who are involved, who read this blog , speak! It’s very simple. If you don’t like lies or rumors, step up front and tell the truth. Tell what happened to Phylicia S. Barnes.
It is hypocritical for a person to not like lies told on them but turn right around and feel it’s okay to withhold the truth of the murder of another PERSON. Going on a year and people know who, where, when and why.
Even if the people who are involved, do not go and tell their parents the complete truth, their parents are smart enough to know that if they were on the outside looking in, they would have a WHOLE lot of things to say about this type of crowd and the activity they participate in.
Where is the real love? Is it, “Man, we feel so bad and sad that Phylicia’s gone. She was such a joy. Now we must move on”. ??? Because that’s what it looks like. Both sides in Bmore pointed fingers at one another. Sad to say that BOTH sides are at fault, pulling back and forth like a tug of war after the death of Phylicia S. Barnes. That’s what hindered this investigation and continues to do so.
All because the main thing this crowd of people who did this to Phylicia care about is, money, music, drugs, sex and selfish ways to self help. God forbid if it were their kid/baby or kid they have raised for 16years. It would be completely different reactions. Phylicia is one of Mrs. Mustafa’s babies. SHE raised Phylicia.
The parents in bmore or affiliated to bmore should be angry at their kids. Had their kids not did what they were doing, none of this would be happening or would have happened. How can one coward call another coward a coward. It was cowardly what was done to Phylicia S. Barnes. Where’s the justice…Come forward. It’s not a game.
~~~ Get this bloggers! ~~~ Russell sent me a friend request a couple weeks ago I guess being nosey to see what I was blogging about, now he deleted and blocked me! SMH @ U Russell, I am going to still keep blogging, since you wanted to me nosey. I am looking forward to seeing your mugshot, along with Deena, Kelly, & the Johnson’s clan! ;P
What was the Big incident about that made Mike wanna stop cooperating with the Barnes family? I thought he said the BIG incident had something to do with Deena finding pics of someone or something. Was it Pics of the other girlfriend or did Deena discover pics were taken of Phylicia? If Mike smoked mixed refer/Cannabis, did Deena and Phylicia smoke it too with the other guys? Were there other females that hung out at the apt or just guys and did some of those females live in the building or close by? Did any family members go out of town around that time or did any of the parents of any of the (people of interest) go out of town around the Christmas Holidays? I ask this because young adults like to have their friends hang out at their crib when their parents are on vacation. We know that Phylicia had to be taken to a location. I would say somewhere closed in. Inside. It was cold around the time. If indeed a text was sent to Deena at 5:30 pm or so, stating that Phylicia was up and active. I hope it was retrieved.
It is said that murderers choose familiar places to discard whatever that might get them caught. I’m curious to know if the people of interest were asked if they have ever visited the dam area and if so, what type of reaction they gave. Exactly what is The oldest Johnson brother job description at his place of employment and what route did the person routinely travel that works)(ed) for the UPS? and where was the New girlfriend of Mike’s on that day?
I just asked all my followers on twitter to please google The Peoples Champion David Adams and support his blog to find just for Phylicia Barnes. I pray they make an arrest soon, I know Mrs. Mustafa is reliving this nightmare everyday and now that Christmas is in two weeks its going to be very hard for her and her family..
God Please give them the Justice they need and take this hurt and pain away from them..
My twitter profile is @FancyKatt1 for all who want to tweet their comments and I will retweet to get the word out.. Thank You
JUSTICE!!!
God can you take Russell, Deena and Kelly Barnes back in time to when Phylicia’s nude body was pulled from the river to answer his quote “Yall are messin with wrong family” because they need to know (as they look at her decomposed body) YALL MESSING WITH GOD’S FAMILY!!!! JFPB…….
MJ I believe you’re telling the truth about Deena lying to Mrs. Sallis Mustafa BUT the problem is have you (and others) done the right thing when talking to police because when you’re hauled off the jail the B more family won’t have any sympathy.
See @Arrestthesefools, the B More family is a highly educated clan with college educated kids that would have welcomed Phylicia into the fold dear!!! I live near Towson U. THAT APT OF HOODRATS WASN’T B MORE’S FAMILY I PROMISE……
