AL AL - Brittney Wood, 19, Mobile, 31 May 2012 - # 6

Exactly -- why wouldn't Wendy go to the police station with him? I wouldn't go to my friend's house if my husband were about to be questioned for sex crimes. I'd be there with him so that I could find out what was going on, especially if it involved my own kin!

How DH got possession of Brittney's gun is a huge question.

BBM - he wasn't scheduled to be questioned again. The investigation had been going on for months, he was scheduled to turn himself in for arrest.

The remains of Nancy Craycraft, 55, of Pensacola were found on Dec. 17 near Lillian.
Craycraft disappeared in October. She was last seen leaving Chan's Night Club on East Nine Mile Road in Cantonment. Her vehicle was later found in Baldwin County.

RIP Ms. Craycraft

That's odd. How does one schedule their arrest? Did LE give him until noon to appear or they'd come pick him up? I'm not sure I understand how this works.
But I'm fighting a cold so maybe I'm having a thick moment. :blushing:

Everyone else was able to post bond the first go around. Did Donnie feel he wouldn't be able to make bail?

Financially speaking, it would have been a very costly affair to go to trial. Since he's dead, at least his children get survivor benefits. Maybe that's why he chose suicide.

None of this adds up!

donnie H picked her up in one report
Chessie said she was last seen with DH.

then its said she was seen getting into white suv with 2 men
yet we have no verification of that.
and then it was retracted.

Checking out Bad Billy Brownlee's address on google street view shows a white SUV in the driveway.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Even more reason to kill himself...turning oneself in for arrest is a MUCH bigger deal than just going in for questioning, obviously...

It was likely worked out between DH & the investigator so they wouldn't have to go to his residence to pick him up... (looks better that he turns himself in, saves BCSO $ and manpower, avoids gossipy neighbors/children witnessing his arrest, etc.)

Survivor benefits may or may not be payable... most don't pay in the event of suicide. Additionally - I don't really think that the well-being of his children was a priority for him (obviously).

P.S. - hope you feel better!

Thanks FBM! As to the survivor benefits, remember when we discussed this earlier? It would be a Social Security dependent child benefit. When a parent is incarcerated, there is no monetary benefit other than possibly Welfare (ADFC) which is limited to a total of five years. But if a parent is deceased, Social Security pays a monthly benefit until the child is 18, or in college. Suicide is not an exclusion.

It was discussed as a motive for how someone could benefit more from Donnie's death as opposed to his being in jail. MOO

Not that it is relevant but children of incarcerated individuals are not entitled to any type if welfare. At least not in Texas.

Wow, the state of Texas punishes the children of inmates? If true, that is very sad.

Hmm ... If true, I interpreted it as TX promoting law-abiding behavior rather than rewarding criminal behavior. JMVHO

But the children aren't criminals, eh?

 

[WhoaIsMe]

To me, that's more like visiting the crimes of the father onto the son.

I believe you may have misunderstood the specific context of my post. I didn't mean to imply that records & pings could not be obtained during an investigation. I meant that the ability to narrow down a more precise location of the actual phone (when the signal bounces back & forth between multiple towers) requires the assistance of a field engineer... to which AT&T is unwilling to allocate those resources until the prosecution phase.

refer to page 6, item dated August 1, 2008: MBI Agent William Moore and AT&T National Compliance.

I didn't misunderstand you. Without taking this too far OT into what could be a very lengthy discussion, suffice to say that due to technological advances and recent court rulings, what was true in some cases back in 2008 has evolved into a very different current state of affairs.

Hi guests! Come on in!

 

[minusfour]

I didn't know that DH was "scheduled" to be arrested that day either, I thought it was some sort of interview. I was going to ask if he had been arrested whether he would have got bail, but given who has been given bail, and for what, since that day, I could probably guess the answer myself! I think I might go back and have a sticky beak through the first few threads, wonder what else I've missed?

Not that it is relevant but children of incarcerated individuals are not entitled to any type if welfare. At least not in Texas.

I beg to differ.

An incarcerated parent is considered "Deprivation of parental support/Continued absence from the home" when it comes to determining eligibility for TANF and medical benefits.

http://www.dads.state.tx.us/handbooks/texasworks/A/1000/1000.htm

Children in Texas who have an incarcerated parent(s) are not excluded from benefits if they are otherwise eligible.

I, too, always thought that he was only to be interviewed. I don't recall ever reading anything that stated that he was turning himself in. I'm not doubting this info, but do we have a source?

That's what I thought too; that he was going in to be questioned. Didn't Wendy say she'd been on the phone with the investigator the night before? I'll have to go back and look. Not that I doubt Footballmom at all, I just hadn't heard he was headed to jail.

"A source close to the investigation said Holland was a suspect in that same family sex abuse case and was expected to meet with authorities June 1, about half an hour after he shot himself."

"Donald Paul Holland, uncle of Brittney Wood

Officials wanted to talk to him about the sex abuse case. Commits suicide. According to family, he is the last person to see Brittney Wood."

http://interactives.fox10tv.com/pho...n/donald-paul-holland-uncle-of-brittney-wood/

"In fact, the older Holland might have also been on the verge of arrest at the time he shot himself. He, too, was a suspect in the ongoing sex-crimes investigation, according to a Baldwin sheriff’s spokesman."

Does anyone have a link to Brittney's baby's birthday presents being left at the Styx river house? Or was it Donnie and Wendy's Fairhope house? I thought it was the Styx River house where Donnie was staying, I'm not sure since he was just a guest there.

It makes it sound like Brittney left in a hurry since she left them behind.

I'll sure Zeaux posted about it. I'll go back and look.

ETA: found it.

Brittney's tote bag has not been found, nor has her wallet, ID, etc. Some personal belongings WERE found at Donnie's, but not those items. It was Brittney's dad who shared that info in a comment to a news article.
