Imagine driving on the highway one day and seeing a pink and purple minivan roll past you. There are hundreds and hundreds of butterflies painted across the hood, and a beautiful young woman's photograph is on the side panel. Then in bold letters, running down the length of the doors you read the words: “Caravan to Catch a Killer.” You wonder what it’s for.
Seated at the wheel is an older woman with shaggy bangs and silver blonde hair. She’s a mother and her name is Dr. Maggie Zingman. Maggie has logged hundreds of thousands of miles, determined to get eyes on her daughter’s case. Her daughter was a bright and funny eighteen-year-old college student when she was brutally murdered in her Tulsa apartment in the fall of 2004. Her killer remains at large.
Today’s perplexing episode is all about the murder of Brittany Phillips and her mother’s journey for answers and change.

Maggie is asking everyone to do 2 things:
1) to take 5 minutes to write their local news stations, “have you heard about Maggie Zingman? The woman who’s driving all over the U.S. in her van, ‘Caravan to Catch a Killer?’ She’s bringing awareness to her daughter’s unsolved cold case while helping other families.”
2) Tell 5 friends to do the same thing. Then those 5 friends tell 5 friends and so on. This is the spider effect. Maggie believes this is what we need to get Brittany and her loved ones some semblance of closure.
