Watch the video on this link. It states 4 crucial things I think (at least I) am missing or forgetting
http://www.fox10tv.com/dpp/news/local_news/mobile_county/brittney-wood-family-wants-investigation
A) FOX10 states that BW was last known to be with DH (using LE sources)
B) AND states she was last seen being picked up by DH! (Thought she couldn't get a ride? Also IIRC she was supposedly spotted getting into a white vehicle like DH's)
C) in the exact next scene, CW states that "she (Brittney) was last seen walking out of her yard (why the bald faced lie, Chessie? Obviously LE has told you differently)
D) DH had made several suicide threats PRIOR to the day he shot Brittney's gun into his skull. The man obviously was suicidal, perhaps bc he knew his dirty ways were catching up to him. The fact that he had made prior suicide shows that his suicide was most likely premeditated. It should also dispel any theories that BW came over/he killed her/he felt guilty/killled himself or that Brittney OD'ed(an addict's body can handle a lot once they develop tolerance anyway)/ he panicked/he shot himself. Also should dispel that Brittney shot him and ran. I just don't see that happening.
Eileen730, your posts have made me raise my eyebrows quite a bit and second/third/twentieth guess myself again and again. Thank you for your input and different way of seeing things. Perhaps she did get the Hell out of Dodge. Or was involved in some way and threatened to turn state's evidence for immunity. Why did CW not disclose she had in fact spoken to Brittney after she disappeared (re: the call) TJ and DW were locked up at the same time, were they caught together and locked up for the same time.. So many arrests. SO MANY LIES. And why in the hell was WWH so insistent that BW hadn't been to the Styx River house or anywhere near Donnie even after this MSM report using info from LE disproved that? This news segment was released 7/23/12! Her and DH (or at least not DH) were NOT "in Fairhope with the boys" all night! CW, why were you so insistent to Brittney that she was not in trouble and no charges were filed?! LE had already said she was an adult and had every right to "go missing". (Hell, I even did it a few times during my prior tumultuous relationship; but I just rented a room on his card and charged it up bc he would do a lot to piss me off. 4-5 days at the spa with my phone off and I'd be fine; however he knew I was leaving bc we'd be fighting and could track our AmEx)
This case makes me grateful that the most difficult things I am facing with my family is that my younger sister dropped half her classes in college bc she turned into a wild child after 19 sheltered years and moved out.
As for what kind of 19yo girl carries a gun? Well I did, and my younger sisters do. At 18 I carried a pearl handle Colt .25 in my purse and a Sig 40 in my car/apt.mI was a college girl on the Dean's List and Dance team- But I also partied in NOLA a lot on the wknds staying at my parents condo and even worked at a gentleman's club for a period behind their back. (they know now and we agree, it is what it is) It is more common than you'd think for parents to give their daughters "protection" once they are out on their own, at least in the South, especially if their daughter is attractive or the family has wealth. My fiancé and I have a large collection of guns including an AK-47 (gasp!) and we are squeaky clean in our dealings. However, I don't feel like this was Brittney's case at all. Her lifestyle required it. My point is just that 19yo girls having pistols is not so uncommon in the South ESP if they visit high-crime areas and/or are attractive and/or have money.
At this point I would rather see Brittney in a jail cell than out somewhere in the cold just rotting away, as harsh as that sounds. She would be warm, safe, around people, fed, and away from the drugs and drama. That's IMO a hell of a lot better an where she was. And she would most likely be released while still quite young and there are many programs to prepare her for re- entry. I personally hire several ex-felons (non-violent or RSO) for security and hospitality for my event company, and a few are among the best ppl I know. My darling introduced me to them through his recovery group. They show up on short notice/work hard long hours bc it is so hard for them to get legal work and they are trying to their lives back Right. A 6'3 tough as hell multiple-offender and I shared a cry when he told me he was molested at age 7 by one of the many men his "mother" brought around. To me it beats life on the run and looking over your shoulder constantly to just COME CLEAN and take the consequences. That goes for the entire family. You cry you want your daughter back? Then do like you said in the beginning and tell the TRUTH. Sadly, I suspect you know just where Brittney is, Chessie, and you are covering your tail. But your drug-induced "I'm a great mom, my family is innocent and the truth will come out" little phase won't last long, sweetheart. This case is too big. It can make a DA or ADA's career.
I need to get ready for work, have a coffee and a cigarette, and watch the sun rise. I like waking up early so I have my mornings in peace. The SB is killing me. I fell asleep at 7pm and had to be moved into bed (don't know how my baby will be able to do that in our new home, our master suite is the 3rd floor of a 160 year old home w very steep steps and we are having trouble restoring the elevator lol he got the house for a steal, the improvements and decor are killing us though and close to what we even paid for it)
As always, JMO.
