In 2003, 17-year-old Brittany Phillips was thrilled when she received a full scholarship to study chemistry at Eckerd College in Saint Petersburg, a coastal city in Florida’s Tampa Bay region. Her mother, Doctor Maggie Zingman, had attended the same college in the 1970s and excitedly helped her daughter prepare for the interstate move from their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I listen to true crime throughout the day, everyday and had never heard this case. I would love to see it solved for Brittany’s mom as well as justice for Brittany.

Hoping the Casefile coverage, her mothers continued work and advancing technologies can help bring Brittany’s killer to justice! Thanks, Casefile team!!

Like the written and narrative style for this case! The message from a family member at the end was poignant and respectful. Thanks Casey and Team!

Is there a crow funding page for maggie? This case truly breaks my heart

The police had DNA from the rape and under Brittany's fingernails which may now be identifiable. What happened to it?

Samantha

Spoilers ahead ---- The security guard was ruled out based on DNA, but given the new information that the DNA did not belong to the killer, should he be looked at again? I hope Brittany's family can get justice someday.

Your podcast is amazing! Thank you so very much.

Great episode. Casefile does a great job, as always. I feel this mother’s pain. Tulsa is my hometown. I also attended TCC for a semester. I pray this family gets the answers they deserve.

What is this comment?

So Real

Media outlets telling a grieving parent that her daughter’s brutal murder was too “boring” to receive national attention is an absolutely disgusting response. Thank you for covering her case.

I found this so absorbing. I couldn’t stop listening once it started and I’m devastated about the ending. Great episode though a truely awful story :(
