...This case hasn't gotten the same kind of wall-to-wall play in national media as the cases of other young, pretty, missing women, such as Natalee Holloway, the blond Alabama teen who disappeared in 2005 on a trip with schoolmates in Aruba.
Baltimore Police Department spokesman Guglielmi says he remembers the Holloway case.
"It's almost like we had a minute-by-minute update," Guglielmi says. "CNN had a little ticker on the bottom of their screen. Everybody knew Natalee Holloway. They knew her picture. Why can't we know Phylicia Barnes?"
But Phylicia's mother isn't concerned about complaints that her daughter's race has affected the media coverage. She just wants the media and the police to work together so her daughter can be found.
