New developments are starting to surface in the disappearance case of Phylicia Barnes.

Barnes was 16 years old when she went missing after visiting her sister in her West Baltimore apartment.  A nationwide search ended for Barnes when she was found in the Susquehanna River.

Her sister’s boyfriend, Michael Johnson, has been charged with murder. It is alleged Johnson strangled Barnes in the apartment and transported her in a plastic tub.

But a witness may refute those allegations.

The Baltimore Sun reports the witness claims he saw Phylicia Barnes alive several days after she went missing.

Johnson is scheduled to go to trial next month.
