John Phillips (Jack of Diamonds, Rhode Island)

The Deck

Our card this week is John Phillips, the Jack of Diamonds from Rhode Island.

Nineteen-year-old John Phillips was found dead and surrounded by dozens of weapons in a Rhode Island parking lot on October 28, 1986. His death was ruled a suicide, and for 15 years, the case was considered closed. But in 2001, after taking a closer look at the case files, detectives realized something didn’t quite add up… Today, they’re still working to uncover exactly what… or who… brought John to his death that October day.
