Saw a missing poster for Brittany in Goose Creek, SC . . . the ones like this always tug at my heartstrings so I figured I'd come bump her thread.

Daniel Kevin Furlong's DNA is a match to evidence found on Jodi Parrack's clothing and body. They really need to look at him for Brittany's disappearance.

Sturgis Police tell Newschannel 3, they are trying to find out if the man who is accused of murdering Jodi Parrack, may have a connection to Beers.
Sturgis Police say since the arrest of 65-year-old Daniel Furlong last week, they've been talking with Michigan State Police and Constantine Police to see if there is any connection to Brittney Beers.
Her family tells Newschannel3 tonight, that it's uncanny how the composite sketch of the suspect from 18 years ago looks a lot like Daniel Furlong.
In exchange for the guilty plea, Furlong has to submit himself to polygraph tests on other cases. Investigators say they will ask Furlong more about Beers next week. So far, Furlong has denied any involvement in the Beers case.
A sketch from 1997 appears to show some similarities to Furlong. Parrack was killed in Constantine, which is not far from Sturgis in southern Michigan.
"I don't think it's right, because if he has something to do with that disappearance, that murder of that child, I mean they're not gonna get their life back, why should he just get one life sentence," Zimmerman said.
And while time has tempered her feelings, Zimmerman says ultimately, she just wants closure.
"Hopefully he would tell them something they didn't know, and maybe she could be found, her bones or any information would be better than nothing," she said.
Zimmerman says the family has devoted years in trying to find Brittney, and say they look to this as their last hope.
Almost 19 years after Brittney Beers disappeared, the Sturgis Police Department developed its first “significant lead” after a killer’s confession.
Jodi Parrack’s convicted killer, 65-year-old Daniel Furlong, admitted to strangling the girl in 2007 then “dumping” her body in a Constantine cemetery.
The similarities in the two cases were raising “red flags” according to Sturgis Police Chief Geoff Smith, who was a responding officer the night Brittney disappeared.
“There are only two things that make him a person of interest,” said Smith. “One, he’s capable. Two, he looks like the composite of the person Brittney was possibly last seen talking to.”
