BODY IN RIVER IS MISSING TEEN PHYLICIA BARNES

TRAGIC
HER family's worst fears have been confirmed - missing teen Phylicia Barnes' body has been found.  
Using dental records medical examiners confirmed that the body found in a severely deteriorated condition was the pretty girl who went missing over the Christmas holidays. 
Just days before her 17th birthday she vanished from her sister's Port Deposit, MD apartment which she was visiting from her North Carolina home.  Her body, along with a mans was discovered near the Susquehanna River Thursday, reports WJZ.
But it was in such bad shape that cops couldn't tell what race they
were so she had to be identified using dental records.  
Chief Medical Examiner David Fowler says that Barnes was the only missing person in the area who matches the age and gender of the body that was found.
He added her dental records were the only set police submitted for comparison.
The discovery is bringing one of the largest missing persons cases in Baltimore to a close. It's still not clear how Barnes died and if the other body found is related to her death.
