“Those cases, when it comes from
the family, those are the hardest,
because you become so entrenched
in the family as a whole,”
McPhilamy said.
When she’s not on the case, McPhilamy is giving back
to the community, teaching self-awareness, security and
defense classes. She’s assisted local and federal agencies,
in addition to working as an investigator in the biography
“Whitney & Bobbi Kristina,” and participating in a number
of documentary projects.
Making an investigator
Undoubtedly a strong individual, McPhilamy grew up in
the foster care system in Atlanta moving from home to
home.
“I don’t know how it is now, but at that time, if you’re
a foster parent, you couldn’t adopt,” she said. “So even if I
had wanted to stay in one of the homes I was at, I
couldn’t. I ended up at a children’s home in Atlanta. And
that’s where I grew up.”
Before 9 years old, McPhilamy saw all kinds of families
from dierent walks of life, from a farm to a mayor’s home.
By age 10, she was sent to a children’s home and
orphanage in downtown Atlanta, having aged out of
adoption.

Rowland, talking about her childhood makes her eyes
