Case 28: Phyllis Berry
Episode 28
Monday, 22 July, 2024

Phyllis Berry was a 21-year-old Chickasaw woman who disappeared during a trip to Terlingua, Texas, in November 1975. Phyllis, along with friends Vangie Strait and Terry Robert Bailey, visited the town for the annual chili cook-off and planned to camp. Phyllis was last seen by a campfire with friends and a hitchhiker named Jim. After a brief absence to gather wood, her friends returned to find her missing. Despite extensive searches involving multiple law enforcement agencies, helicopters, and specially trained dogs, no trace of Phyllis was found. Her car, personal belongings, and dog were left behind. Various theories emerged, including possible foul play or an accident involving nearby mine shafts, but no concrete evidence was discovered. Phyllis's family and friends continued to search and keep her story alive, but the case remains unsolved. If you feel that you need support regarding any of the issues presented in this episode, please contact your local crisis centre.
