ImWithTheBand, I agree 100%; though I am wayyy too into fashion to even be at my home in flip flops and jean shorts, I see it all of the time. I have also lived all through the South (Houston, Mobile, Atlanta, and in So Cal- Newport Beach & Carlsbad)! and have places in Dallas and Destin, FL. Flip flops and shorts are de rigeur lol
I too hope and pray that there is a REASON that LE believes she is gone by her own choice and that it is not just shoddy police work.
I also hope and pray that the reason LE has taken so long with arrests in the pedo-ring is that they are getting their ducks in a row.
I want to add that like many fellow Sleuthers, I will often post theories I may not necessarily believe in with all of my heart or play "Devil's Advocate" simply bc I believe thinking outside of the box is what a missing person's case, especially one this complex, requires. And as FootballMom so eloquently put it, we all want to believe the best and in happy endings; even when they seem very implausible
My personal theory is that Brittney's "disappearance" and DH's suicide were pre-meditated. Has LE looked into the pattern of her phone usage in the weeks prior to that hot May night? I sure hope so, along with DH's. I think he was planning all along to commit suicide the day he has his interrogation, and Brittney knew the BM was about to hit the fan and offered him her gun in exchange for drugs OR tried to beg him out of it. Mr & Mrs H (and DK I believe) what info she held and that she could do away with the entire lot of them and get immunity for turning state's evidence, and hatched a plot to "do away" with her. Their ignorant minds believed that with DH gone the state would drop the investigation and that the focus would turn to Brittney's disappearance and they would be seen as victims. A select few family members knew. CW was not immediately aware nor her brothers. Neither was "Zeaux", whoever she was. Later down the road more family members were told of Brittney's wrongdoings (whether fact or fiction) and were turned off and quit advocating.
I still am missing the while RSW aspect. Brittney's case fades further into the background sadly.
I pray for Brittney and the many lost women and girls like her, the ones who never had a chance, daily. I pray that there will be justice for the victims of the pedophilia and I pray for TRUTH. I pray for the ones who committed the crimes, that they genuinely cleanse their souls and seek God's forgiveness- I believe some if not all of the perpetrators are victims of abuse perpetuating the abuse.
I once dated a B-List Hollywood producer who confessed to me that he had a thing for little girls and incest because his 11yo sister had sex w him when he was in the fourth grade. He never acted on it and carried a self-hatred for his desires. It still sickened me so I broke up with him but I will never forget the look in his eyes when he told me that. Some argue that those who have these temptations are born that way or are like that because of the abuse they received. That may be true but there is no reason to act on it!!
This is JMO, as always.
