To Catch A Killer: More Images That Reveal The Culture Of Those Who Were There When Phylicia Barnes Went Missing

Warning: Blog Post contains nudity and images unsuitable for children, and also maybe offensive to viewers.

When I interviewed Janice Sallis-Mustafa regarding the tragic murder of her late daughter Phylicia Barnes, she shared with me the horrible thoughts that played over and over again in her mind what may have happened to her child. One of those thoughts was Phylicia possibly being lured to Baltimore and sacrificed for a drug debt by sex crazed drug dealers. She was concerned that the volume of young men in and out of Deena Barnes’ apartment probably was related to drug solicitation by some of those we have learned were actually living there. Images posted in a previous Blog entry show the Johnson clan engaged in a party like atmosphere with booze and marijuana, but up until now there hasn’t been anything to substantiate drug dealing. We continuously saw William “Krazy” Johnson with cigar leafs and others smoking blunts as they posed for pictures. On William Johnson’s “xChill xWillx” Twitter page we see that perhaps the drug solicitation theory isn’t without merit. Clearly there is marijuana packaged for distribution along side boxes of cheap cigars and a laptop:

Bags of suspected marijuana individually packaged for distribution and cigars. The caption under the image on Twitter reads, "Time to get High".
An image displaying about 20-30 grams of suspected marijuana with an individual Swisher sweets Cigar tube, and a smaller portion of the illegal drug depicting preparation to roll up a blunt.

These images posted on Krazy’s Twitter Page doesn’t necessarily mean he was in fact engaged in drug solicitation, but common sense confirms that he at the very least had access to a volume of the drug.  Krazy, his relative, and others were a fixture around Deena Barnes’ apartment and it’s safe to say given the public display of their “pot head” culture, that marijuana also accompanied them. We are all aware of the negativities associated with drug usage and solicitation, as well as the violence that historically has been associated with those involved in narcotics. The drug and alcohol atmosphere that young Phylicia Barnes was exposed to created an ideal situation for violence to rear it’s ugly head and unfortunately resulted in the child’s death. The pictures also demonstrates a bold, careless, and arrogant disregard for the law by Krazy, who apparently is fearless of any potential criminal repercussions related to his public display of illegal drug possession. It’s the very nature of this kind of  ignorance or irregard for the law that suggest Krazy and the entire Johnson clan alike, are capable of just about anything.

Also, back in early July media reports surfaced that Federal Authorities were looking into a possible “child porn” link in this murder case. It was revealed that a volume of pornographic images were discovered during the investigation. There also rumors floating around that pornographic images were discovered on the cell phone of one of the men who was either at the apartment or lived there around the time Phylicia went missing. The below image demonstrates that the individual who may have had nude photos on his cell phone probably was William “Krazy” Johnson:

The image speaks volumes for itself, and gives credibility to a perspective that Janice Sallis-Mustafa theorized may have been a associated with her daughter’s killing. Janice’ “sex crazed drug dealers” theory can only gain fuel when considering the above images. I believe the grieving mom’s argument has been substantiated here, and has  proved her not to be the biter, crazy, lieing, and unstable woman that some have relentlessly attempted to describe her as. Sometimes a mother  just knows some things and I believe Janice hit the nail right on it’s head on this one.
