Arrest Warrant Issued For Man For Killing His Half-Sister In 2017; Her Body Was Found Buried In Jay
February 28, 2020
An arrest warrant has been issued for man wanted in the murder of woman whose body was found in a shallow grave behind a home east of Jay in 2018, Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson announced during a news conference Friday morning.
The warrant charges Jerry Savoy Phillips Jr. with the murder of his half-sister, 38-year old Felicia Kuswandy. Her remains were found buried behind a home in the 7700 block of HIghway 4 on December 14, 2018.
Johnson said an investigation determined she was murdered on November 12, 2017.
Phillips has not yet been formally charged. He is in prison in Alabama on November 2018 narcotics conviction out of Escambia County (AL) and is expected to be released as early as October 23. The warrant for an open count of murder will be served at that time.
Johnson declined to comment on a possible motive or Kuswandy’s cause of death until after the warrant is served.

This is my sister that he killed we all have the same mother i new he was the 1 that killed her
@fisherman,
That is incorrect. HALF siblings are those who have the same mother but different fathers OR same father but different mothers. When two people marry who both have children from previous relationships, those children are STEP siblings.
Indian Girl- They had the same mama, but different daddies.
I remember this to well….i share a half brother and a whole one but mama and daddy
Raised all of us together and as a whole not half family. But let
One of us need the others and we go. We don’t agree and that’s fine
We do love and respect each other. Those kids was so worried about their mom
It was so sad when news hit them my PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILIES
@indian girl I have 4 half sisters, we all have the same dad but we have different moms. I don’t walk around introducing them as “half” though
@ Indian Girl, most of the time when a sibling is referred to as a half sibling, they only share one (1) parent. Most of the time they only share the Father.
Half sister is a sibling that shares the DNA of the father or the mother of another child. Which also makes her a step child to one of the parents. It’s complicated when trying to explain .
@Indian girl
A half sister or half brother is when two people marry that have children from previous marriage.
@indian girl they had the same father or mother but not both
What is a half sister??
What a sad sad world we’ve made.
