William Edward Phillips, known as Bill or Pops, was 52 when he was last seen on June 4, 2011, after being dropped off at his home in the 300 block of 5th Avenue North in Amory, Mississippi. He was slender, about 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 2 inches and 120 pounds, with gray hair often in a ponytail, a gray beard, blue eyes, a damaged fogged right eye, and a heart tattoo on his right forearm reading Bill loves Sandy. The clothing last reported was a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a white handy-man logo baseball cap.

Investigators believe Phillips was killed between June 4 and June 7, 2011. In March 2019 an indictment named Jeffery Dewayne Kennedy on first-degree murder charges; Kennedy was already incarcerated on an unrelated sentence. Peggy Hall was also arrested and reportedly said she was present the night Phillips was taken from his home and stabbed to death over money by a man from Amory. Phillips’s body has not been recovered, and his family has not had the closure of a burial.

Does anyone from Amory or who knew Bill remember his last day or have information that could locate his remains?
