Regarding the discussion about craigslist...I have to believe LE's reference to it is deeper rooted than simply two consenting adults' (or 4) choice as to sexual preferences. LE's reference of craigslist makes me wonder if the entire child sex ring wasn't promoted through craigslist, which I understand has received heat for being a hotbed of prostitution. If that's the case, I wonder if LE could locate someone outside of this family that would be more willing to talk than the family itself.
(Excuse my thickness, once again) Has it been established that they actually were prostituting the children. (Rather than "merely" abusing/sexually toturing them?)
Oh my.

No I don't think it has been established. I think we were speculating on other potential witnesses outside of the family that would talk and such a person, IF it happened, could be a source of witnesses.
I may have over-spoke when I posted that. But when you have Donnie promise to buy a little girl a hamster and instead allows another man to rape her while he watched, I'd say it's a near enough example.

(1) ABUSE. Harm or threatened harm to a child's health or welfare. Harm or threatened harm to a child's health or welfare can occur through nonaccidental physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or attempted sexual abuse or sexual exploitation or attempted sexual exploitation.
"Sexual abuse" includes the employment, use, persuasion, inducement, enticement, or coercion of any child to engage in, or having a child assist any other person to engage in any sexually explicit conduct or any simulation of the conduct for the purpose of producing any visual depiction of the conduct; or the rape, molestation, prostitution, or other form of sexual exploitation of children, or incest with children as those acts are defined by Alabama law.
"Sexual exploitation" includes allowing, permitting, or encouraging a child to engage in prostitution and allowing, permitting, encouraging or engaging in the obscene or pornographic photographing, filming, or depicting of a child for commercial purposes.
It's horrendous no matter what you call it. I believe sexual exploitation is a more accurate description. IIRC, the act was recorded, wasn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a commercial aspect to the crime had been confirmed.

i swear i read that it was recorded on his (donald) cell phone while Dustin Kent raped the victim. That's why I never understood how there hasn't been charges in participating child *advertiser censored* and exploitation.
Granted people deleted these things but wasn't his cell phone found? Something is hinky with this.

"On Thursday, Wood's uncle Dustin Kent had a preliminary hearing for his charges of alleged sex abuse against two young girls.
Investigators shared graphic testimony of child sex abuse allegedly committed by the 36-year-old Kent."
Donald Holland was Brittney Wood's uncle. He was the last person to see Wood alive, and he later committed suicide.
Investigators said Holland told Kent to commit the sex crimes, and in each case, Holland was either present or listening on the phone."
Reading this again and adding in Wendy's charges of sexual torture, I can't help but feel she was as involved as Donnie. Which leads me to, again, ponder her motives to silence Donnie. Not only would she come out ahead financially, but it would be harder to prove her involvement knowing Donnie's case won't be heard in court.

I should have been clearer. I don't remember any commercial aspect to it, which to me means they were selling videos/recordings of it. I do have a vague recollection of a phone being involved, but I can't remember if it was being recorded or, what I thought was, on one occassion Donnie was wanting to listen over the phone as Dustin carried out his sick acts. Of course, I could be wrong on all accounts.
thank you!! This I think is where my memory became jumbled. The part where Donald was listening on the phone - is most likely where I came up with "video taping".
Now here is something, a question that was posed to me by another sleuth who hasn't followed this case at all:
what was the motive to kill Brittney?
I know we have each came up with various degrees of reasoning - but when I was hit with this question, I didn't have a solid one. It caught me off guard and gave me a very profound need to reexamine why I just safely assumed she was murdered. I know I came to that conclusion because it was with the majority - and also since it was 'her" gun, and she was last reported to have been with him. But when you take those 2 factors away - (and this won't be popular opinion) - I can't find the motive. Everything is speculation. Donald had more reason to kill Dustin Kent, Donald Jr or even Brittney's brother. So, why was Brittney chosen? What was it about her that would give reason to murder her? I know we speculate that she was going to tell - however there is nothing backing that up. nothing.
She does however, have every reason to run off. I know logically we can't come up with where, why or how she would survive. Many feel that because of P she wouldn't have left. Again, in the minority - "P" wasn't her priority or obligation at the time. I'm not saying she didn't love her - I'm saying her partying was more of a priority than her child.
I keep going back to the battery of the phone, the gun .. and Chessie changing her story and refusing the poly. We have only Chessie and Wendy's word that the gun is Brit's. That the cell phone battery is Brit's and the day she took off. how do we know that Donald wasn't set up *and by set up, I mean to be killed since he was the ring leader.* and then shot to look like a suicide? this leaves the big question on where Brit went. I just find it very very suspicious the information Chessie and Wendy gave. I find it strange that Wendy found her husband and later detailed the car so there was no physical evidence.
Sorry for my ramble - this case bothers me a heap and I try and pick apart the bits and times that make no sense to me. I'm absolutely not trying to offend anyone - i'm just tossing around theories and stuff I'd like to discuss and gain perspective. I DO care and I want to see the right people prosecuted, the victims to be made survivors and Brittney found.

Omg. Wasn't aware of this. Is there any way there could still be some evidence found.
