I just can't help but feel that all of these missing girls are completely connected. Besides the fact that all of the cases are pretty similar, they also all seem to point to a very specific location in South Carolina.
Like someone alluded to earlier, I'm almost certain that Brittanee Drexel was kidnapped by more than one person when she was walking down the strip. I'm imagining that there were at least 2 people that were in on it, possibly more, and that they obviously must have had some type of plan in place before hand, or more likely that they have already done something like this before. Then they just make a beeline for a very specific/rural place, that you just know they were very familiar with.
So I just have a very hard time believing that in this very specific place of South Carolina, that there are multiple different groups of people that get their kicks driving around, looking for young girls to kidnap, rape and who knows what else. So when all of that information came out about the Taylor clan, it just seemed to make all kinds of sense in regards to these cases. Those people were very familiar with those types of crimes, and also knew other people that were into that sort of thing. I mean, it isn't something that two guys would just decide to do all of a sudden driving down the strip. They had to know beforehand what they were going out there looking for, while also knowing whoever else was with them was also down to commit such a terrible crime.
It just doesn't seem very possible that there are two completely separate groups of criminals in this very rural/specific part of South Carolina, that like to rape and kill young girls - while also being experienced enough with police tactics to get away with it. I could see if these crimes were being pulled off by specific individuals, but they seem to point to being committed by groups of people, which really makes it seem very unlikely that they aren't connected.
It bothers me though, that the police were so quick to run to the media to tell everyone that they didn't think that they were connected. You would think that politics and tourism wouldn't trump finding these people that are roaming around killing innocent girls, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Hopefully my little rant makes sense to you guys. It is something that I've been thinking for a while, but I just had a difficult time explaining it for some reason.
