I hope everyone has had a good holiday weekend! I haven't been on here in a good while, but I've just thought of a few more things to bring up.
I'm sure everyone can recall the attempted sexual assaults that happened in MB just 3 weeks before Brittanee's disappearance; I've searched, and searched over and over, but I haven't been able to find any articles stating whether they arrested anyone in connection with that or not.. I'm assuming they haven't? Which is really scary.. My Fiance' & I go to MB every two years for vacation- we're going this year, last week of June. I was reading up on those old articles, and saw the names of the hotels. Ironically, it's the same hotel we're staying at...... I'm not worried about myself or anything, because we always stay together, and I'm way older than the girls he tried to get (they were only 12 and 14 yrs old)... but still, if there hasn't been an arrest, the fact that whoever it is could just be walking around there freely and no one would know it is absolutely terrifying. The last time we went to MB we stayed in an awful hotel, it was actually a sister location to the Bar Harbour hotel where Brittanee stayed. I chose Captain's Quarters resort for this year because the prices were fantastic for the rooms you're getting. & They've got so many activities, like 11 pools, a bowling alley, just a lot of stuff. However, it's been named the most kid-friendly resort in all of MB, which is probably why that guy chose to go there. The attempted assault on the 12 year old happened at Hotel Blue, which is a sister location to Captain's Quarters- in addition to all of the amenities at CQ, you are offered the opportunity to go to Hotel Blue and use their pools/other amenities as well.
Second- I'm unsure of whether I found this link on here, or on another forum, so sorry if it's been posted already!

I have been reading this law blog that is ran by an attorney from MB, and he actually wrote an entry about Brittanee's case titled "When cases become personal- Brittanee Drexel". He states that he was an assistant solicitor in Georgetown, SC. He was assigned a case against a RSO- he learns the RSO was once charged with rape/kidnapping when he abducted a child from a playground in California. After the man was released, he moved to Georgetown. Supposedly, this attorneys client came into contact with the same RSO in a local gas station bathroom, in which the RSO proceeded to expose himself to the attorney's client.
Here is a small snippet from the article-
How does this connect to the Brittanee Drexel case? Well, I left the solicitor's office in early 2008 before the case was dealt with and don't know how that case turned out but lets put it this way...I tend to remember certain names. I have not verified this information nor do I want to. I am not even sure if these are the same indivdual, but if the person of interest fits these facts, they were one and the same person. I must add my disclaimer so please note that no one has been arrested for this disappearance and everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Nevertheless, I can't help but think "what if".
So, he's never confirmed as to whether or not the RSO he was dealing with is actually the prime POI in Britt's case, RM.. but he hands out numerous hints that makes us believe it is.
That RSO re-offended by exposing himself to another male in the bathroom. The two girls from the hotels in MB also stated a man "followed them into the elevator", and then exposed himself before trying to force himself on them. There has been a sketch released in those cases, and the girls described this man as late 20's-early/mid 30's, receding hairline (little to no hair), and having green/hazel eyes. Many people have said that the sketch released shows striking similarities to RM.. I'm not good at recognizing things like that, so I really have no idea of whether it could be him or not. Also throwing in the fact that RM has very distinguished blue eyes, not hazel/green.
Third, I was doing some more research, and came across a FB page of a woman who I assume is currently dating, or once dated RM at one point. She's got recent pictures (June/July 2011) of the two of them together, and a few of RM by himself. She's also got multiple photo albums which show RM being around children that are family members..............................WHAT?! Come on, people!
Upon looking at the rest of her pictures, I've come to realize I never truly noticed how big he is... I mean, in his mugshots he looks just like an old, perverted man with no hair. In these pictures she's got, his size is ridiculous.. Brittanee would have never even had a chance of getting away from him (if he's the one that got her, of course).
I know it would be inappropriate to link directly to her FB page, but here are links to some of the pics I came across-

I'm going to assume that this is RM's bike- her caption is referring to Bike Week in MB, and says "The bike we rode in on"

he's just scary. I was a bit thrown off however- As I was looking at her page, she actually posted a link to an article saying "Sex Offender Eyed In Cold Case", and the article mentioned RM, and had pictures of him, but she just posted it.. didn't have any kind of comment or anything. It was posted back in February, so maybe they aren't together anymore? I'm wondering if she even knew he was a convicted RSO, and a level three offender. I don't know if it's even possible for her to NOT know about what he's done in the past. Maybe she knows something about Brittanee? I doubt it... but one can wish, I guess.
