Case Episode 18 | Phyllis Rome: A Small Town Secret and 30 Years of Grim Mystery

C A S E D E T A I L S

On Saturday, June 19, 1993, in Clarksdale, Mississippi — commonly known as the birthplace of blue’s music — 22-year old Phyllis Rome was preparing for a night out at a local juke joint blue’s club. It was a popular spot for locals to gather and listen to blue’s music and have a good time.

Phyllis spent what we now know as her last night out on the town. Everyone saw her there, but what happened when she left is unfound.

Phyllis was deaf and mute, making her an easy target to whatever evil that lurked into the hot summer night on June 19.

There was an unconfirmed sighting of Phyllis on that same night by a relative. Just a few days later, another unconfirmed sighting of Phyllis was by an official at a government building, but then that statement was oddly retracted.

This case is an interesting one because there are hardly any details on Phyllis’ disappearance, no details on her personal life, no updates, not many mentions of Phyllis on any public platform except for the original details that were reported back in 1993 from The Clarksdale Press Register newspaper–30 years ago, and the details on her family and friend's are scarce — but with some consistent and profound digging, I was able to locate a few family members.

So, what happened to Phyllis Rome on the evening of June 19, 1993? Did she just walk away from her life? Could this be directly related to law enforcement or someone connected? Or could it be something even more sinister where someone is harboring three decades of mystery and the truth lies somewhere hidden in the depths of the small town of Clarksdale?
