Phylicia MooreGraduation ceremonies are suppose to be a joyous occasion, full of the pride that parents have for their kids on their leap into adulthood. The anxious excitement of the graduates of what their future has in store for them. It is usually the beginning of a long and whinding road called adulthood. Phylicia Moore will never be able to see how proud her parents are of her and she will never be able to ponder what life has in store for her becaue it was cut short in Ghana on April 16th. She is not Natalie Holloway so there has be barely a blip on the news about her, but her story is still as sad.

Douglas Moore

Douglas Moore, Phylicia Moore’s father accepted her Diploma from Teaneck High School in New Jersey. The graduating class of 375 seniors somberly remembered Phylicia Moore and what a great person she was and how she carried herself. The FBI is investigating her death and the office is currently in talks with officials in Ghana investigating her death. At the time of her death it was ruled an accident but there were inconsistencies with the official Ghana autopsy report and one performed her in the United States.

Let’s continue to keep this story alive until they finally find out what happen to this girl.
