AL AL - Brittney Wood, 19, Mobile, 31 May 2012 - # 7

Sad, sad, sad!

 

[sadnpod]

Were you calling me minusfour? My gut is telling me this is Brit. I don't know what my feelings are right now. This is one case where I really thought it may be possible that she took off and was living better than she had in the past. I really hope it is not her. I want answers for her family.. just not this answer.

That aside, I hope someone is soiling themselves right now!

More Human Bones Discovered at Illegal Dump in Theodore
Published: March 05, 2013 (FYI - video at link shows a cadaver dog finding a bone. SH interviewed)

~~Sheriff's detectives, crime scene investigators, and volunteers with KLAAS Kids were back at Dep Busby Road in Theodore Tuesday morning, where a human skull was discovered the day before.

"We got out here a little before 8:00 a.m. this morning in an attempt to locate additional bones or skeletal remain," said Detective Paul Burch with the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. "We got a good bit of them yesterday, and we're just trying to get as much as we can and get any additional evidence."

~~The area where the skeleton was found is not far from where a young missing mother named Brittney Wood used to live. That fact is on the mind of Brittney Wood's stepmother, who travelled to the area to see what she could find out.

"Hoping it is, hoping it isn't," said Stephanie Hanke. "Wanting closure, but not wanting this kind of closure. But wanting answers."

MCSO continues search for remains
Updated: Tuesday, 05 Mar 2013, 10:10 PM CST (includes an updated video of missing persons)

Snip -

“Just in mobile county alone we've got five people that we know are missing, and we'll look at all of those five people. And then once we look at those, we'll of course look at the surrounding counties,’ Cochran said.

In the files are things like dental records, DNA, and detailed physical descriptions.

“These readily come to mind that are the most immediate missing. Garland Ford, Jonathan Lions, Randall Parnell, Michael blue Watson, Jeffrey Holloman,” he said.

Other cases like Brittney Wood and Brittany Robinson also come to mind. Both young women vanished from the county without a trace months ago.

More Human Bones Discovered at Illegal Dump in Theodore

Snipped:

The area where the skeleton was found is not far from where a young missing mother named Brittney Wood used to live. That fact is on the mind of Brittney Wood's stepmother, who travelled to the area to see what she could find out.

"Hoping it is, hoping it isn't," said Stephanie Hanke. "Wanting closure, but not wanting this kind of closure. But wanting answers."

Brittney Wood has been missing for more than nine months. She's one of countless missing men and women whose families are still missing.

"Anytime there's a discovery like this, those that are missing loved ones become concerned that their missing loved one has been found," said Detective Burch.

Authorities say it's still way too early to tell who the bones belong to.

I wonder if these remains could be Brittney Wood. I do not believe that Brittney is alive.

The waiting is unbearable. I cannot imagine how the family must feel. Very, very sad.

There has got to be a quicker way of identifying remains when they're found for the families' sake. With technology as it is, someone smarter than me can surely come up with a reliable yet quicker means.

If Brittney has been dumped on a trash pile it will be completely, utterly despicable.

That kind of contempt though - I've seen it before in this thread. I'm really worried that it's her. Poor SH and WH.

The remains had a full set of good teeth. Brittney was so young and had a nice smile. I am guessing she had a full set of teeth. Does anyone know if she had any jackets or crowns or anything?

 

[zwiebel]

There's a lot of missing people out there, but I don't know enough about the locations to see if there are any missing beside Brittney, from very close by.

I'd like to thank those of you that kicked in to fill in the details for those of us who have not followed this case. I am really hoping for closure for this young woman and and end to the insane chain of abuse that is going on in that family!

 

[zwiebel]

There are a lot of people just listed as missing, Alabama, so it's not possible to make a list of possibles, really.

I think Carlk posted upthread about three likely missing people for the earlier remains found with the bullet wound. If these remains are small though, I don't think they'd apply.

Doretha Williams lived very close to here. Charley project has listed her as male, but that's just a typo.

Also Brenda Nell Dearing.

Debra Durrance. 1998 though.

Holly Anne Paul. Old case again. Scottish inn Hotel is on Gvmnt Blvd, Mobile.

In past cases I've read about, dental records don't take very long to verify...

She has been missing since 2007, though, and I'd think the remains would be in much worse condition if it's her? The news articles say that the skull and teeth are in good condition.

ETA: Doretha was last seen in downtown Mobile...it would be quite a drive to go dump her body there, but you never know!

FMK the dental records LE has are from 2008. I don't think anyone knows for sure if Brittney has had any dental work since then.

FMK the dental records LE has are from 2008. I don't think anyone knows for sure if Brittney has had any dental work since then.

They should still be able to compare the dental records to the skull teeth pretty easily, though, even from 2008. I also do know that she called to make a dentist appointment the week she went missing...

ETA: whoops, I misunderstood -- you're right that we don't know if she's had dental work since 2008.

Thanks. Even when I look at a map (which I did) I have no idea what I'm seeing. Hopeless with them!

 

[zwiebel]

I know there's lots of locals here, and maybe one of you knows someone with some respnsibility for that govt website I just checked, for missing people?

Thing is, it's really helpful to have the site for missing persons, but the location info is not consistent. So some people are listed as missing from Mobile, Alabama, for example, while others are just listed as missing from Alabama. It makes it so hard for all those people out there working hard to id missing and UID people.

And when I searched, I found that all the females listed as missing just from Alabama, (bar one) did in fact have a specific town/ place in AL they'd disappeared from, which was easy to find. I think it would take about an hour of someone's time to add the info to that site, but it could really help. And it could help make a world of difference to the loved ones waiting for the missing.

Not your fault -- you're in Europe! I live in Alabama, so by looking at the map I could tell that this particular woman vanished in the downtown area of Mobile.

Not saying at all that this isn't her just because of where she vanished, but it is a good distance to dispose of a body from downtown Mobile.

I also think that this is Brittney because the skull and teeth are in such good condition. It would match up, to me, to her May disappearance.

Looking at that page made me so sad.

LA (lower Alabama) folks, am I right that Tillman's Corner, Theodore, Grand Bay, are considered the Mobile area but are NOT inside the city limits of Mobile? Brittney's blurb on there about where she went missing should have been more specific, IMO...
