New Evidence Renews Mom's Search for Daughter's Killer

Brittany Phillips, 18, attends Florida's Eckerd College on a full chemistry scholarship her freshman year, but the homesick college student returns to Tulsa to continue her education.

Within a week, the 18-year-old is dead. Phillips was found raped and strangled inside her locked apartment. Now, a letter has been found with a postmark after the date Phillips was thought to have died, sparking new hope for an arrest.
