Brittanee has been on my mind a lot lately, so I felt like re-reading some of my old notes, and post something here, so here goes.

At this time, officer Cleary contacted A. Lippa via telephone number provided by Mr. Hahn"
It has been made clear that due to distance, Hahn didn't make it to MB to report Brittanee as missing until after 4AM. On the other police report, it states that LE was initially dispatched to Bar Harbor at 04:54AM military time (almost 5AM). If the cops went directly to the room to try and find the other kids and they're not there even though it's past 5AM, where were they??? It's obvious that these kids were party animals, but 5AM... really??
I think they were @ The Boardwalk with some other Rochester folks (Nico C + 5 more) Somewhere I read where MBPD made telephone contact with Nico C. who said he had no information. Chances are JO AL PO were all sitting right there in the room, as they were NOT in there room @ Bar Harbor - I wonder why? They appareantly went back to Bar Harbor later that morning, to get their stuff, maybe waited until the police left?

This has always bothered me... Initial reports indicated her cellphone made a "beeline south" where it continued to ping around the Georgetown-Charleston county line until it finally stopped. I've never been able to find a solid connection with any of the Rochester kids and this area. Those kids DO NOT appear to be smart enough to dispose of a body in an area they're unfamiliar with. (or at least not good enough to hide in from search teams)

If she was grabbed; and we know she was wearing flip flops I would have thought at least one of those would have fallen off. Flip flops tends to come off very easily.
Keep in mind that when the missing persons report was first filed, she was described as "depressed". I think this really slowed down the initial investigation. So, the flip flop could have been sitting there, for a day or two even, until a hotel custodian tossed it in the trash, as it was probably not unusual.
I have always thought - her Myrtle Beach getaway with "friends" was not going as well as she hoped. She left Bar H. to walk to Blue W. and then headed back right after JO called demanding her shorts? It seems JO was being b!tchy about the whole thing. That was one of the 4 people she was staying with. I personally would be feeling shunned and unwanted, which would make me more likely to accept a ride from a stranger.
Just a side note - I don't believe the whole "shorts" story .. never made sense to me.. Why not ask for them back before she left? Or why not just wait until she comes back? You can't tell me JO was waiting around for Brittanee to bring those shorts back - I just don't believe it...
Those girls were a bunch of crass mean brats - to say it nicely. There was 28+ kids from Rochester in MB at that time. I don't think they were all "together"; more like "loosely connected". I had the opportunity to look at the content of their Facebook pages, while it was still public. (I think they all switched their privacy settings on when they realized how many people were scrutinizing them) and their pictures, and the captions made me want to vomit. The two that bothered me the most were AL and JO. And then on top of that - AL and JO were friends with Brittanee's best friend BFF in the whole world TV ... I will never understand that... For me - If you ditch my best friend while on vacation 1,000 miles away, avoid the police during the investigation, and then post nasty comments --- you and I are going to have a problem, and we're definitely no longer going ot be friends !!! FACT: As of todday AL + TV are still friends on facebook ... JO has disappeared from the world of social networking, from what I can tell.
there it is -- My rant, sorry for those of you who heard it all from me before...
I've always been on the fence about this:
1) the group of brats from Chili / Rochester - What was their involvment, if any?
2) There's a group of unsavory people live around that Georgetown-Charleston county line area, and North Santee - What was their involvment, if any?
