Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP463) and 15 other sources
Phyllis Rome, a 22-year-old woman from Clarksdale, Mississippi, was last seen on June 19, 1993, at approximately 8:00 p.m. at Red’s Night Club on Sunflower Avenue. Rome, who was deaf and mute, was wearing a white shirt, blue polka-dot shorts, blue socks, and white sneakers. She lived nearby on McKinley Street. After leaving the club, she vanished and was never heard from again.

There were rumors that Rome had been murdered and her body dumped in downtown Clarksdale, but police searches in the area turned up no evidence. Witnesses later claimed to have seen her at the courthouse, but this sighting was never confirmed. Given her disability, there is speculation that she may have been an easy target for foul play. Despite these rumors and occasional reported sightings, no substantial leads have emerged, and her case remains unsolved decades later.

Phyllis’s family, along with authorities, continue to hope for information that could lead to answers. Her disappearance has drawn attention due to the limited available information and the challenges posed by her communication barriers.
