Another shooting in their tight hood. Sounds like someone was waiting for him to come home. Ck the street sign in the picture.

I hope no one killed her.
Actually I think it's very plausible that a father and son who are deeply into very heavy drug dealing and most likely human trafficking could have their clientele so afraid of their power and influence that they would not hesitate to get rid of a girl who turned out to be much more trouble and risk than they anticipated. When Brittanee's disappearance became national news, these pieces of scum couldn't risk bringing attention to themselves and their family "enterprise". She became a liability that had to be eliminated. These scum are so confident of their hold on the locals and their ability to control the locals by keeping them in fear that it was nothing for them to murder and dispose of Brittanee.This accusation of Deshaun Taylor doesn't ring true to me. I followed this case carefully at first, but haven't read this stuff recently until now.
None of it seems believable to me - that a father and son would kidnap and be involved in sexually assaulting a young stranger, while someone who is virtually a stranger to them is also present and later turns them in to gain favor for his own legal case. I'm struggling with that.
I thought whoever picked Brittanee up would have been very appealing to her - she was on a party weekend, and I believe she did get into a car with someone she thought was in it for the party. I don't see this guy as the guy she would have hopped in the car with. For whatever reason. Whoever picked her up did it seemlessly without catching anyone's eye, on a very busy street. Whoever it was stopped, and she quickly and willingly got in.
I also don't think the death story rings true - that this witness who has a somewhat undefined relationship with Taylor would have both witnessed Taylor sexually assaulting her, and then pistol whipping her, shooting her twice and dumping her in an alligator swamp. How often do small helpless women who are used for sex trafficking get pistol whipped, shot and dumped while virtual strangers watch? How many sexual assault victims are pistol whipped and shot? Not many in my observation.
I don't know. Maybe it's true - does anyone else kind of feel like this is a complete rabbit trail?
Although I would really not want to believe this story of the horrible things that were done to Brittanee and that others saw it or were actually involved I do believe it happened. It sounds like the father and son keep people in that community afraid of them. I also think something is amiss in the "legal system" in that whole area. I even find myself feeling afraid to say that even though I've several states away.Actually I think it's very plausible that a father and son who are deeply into very heavy drug dealing and most likely human trafficking could have their clientele so afraid of their power and influence that they would not hesitate to get rid of a girl who turned out to be much more trouble and risk than they anticipated.

As far as I know, the exact series of events at the moment of Brittanee's kidnapping remain somewhat blurry. The informant who provided the details of her death did not claim he was present during her kidnapping, and I doubt Brittanee would've willingly entered a car with an older man, such as Shaun Taylor. There have evidently been second-hand statements of Deshaun Taylor "picking her up" in Myrtle Beach and transporting her to the McClellanville/South Santee area, but even those statements are somewhat vague about how exactly that transpired. There are some people who believe she was "introduced" to the Taylors while in SC by one or more of the "friends" she traveled with. If true, that bit of familiarity may have allowed a younger member of that group (DT, MT) to entice Brittanee to approach a vehicle close enough for others to subdue and take her, quickly and quietly, possibly from the parking lot next to the Blue Water and not necessarily off the sidewalk of Ocean Blvd.

Just for clarity, the inmate statement describes Deshaun Taylor sexually assaulting Brittanee, an unnamed person pistol whipping her during her attempted escape and carrying/dragging her back inside the house, and only assumes Shaun Taylor as responsible for shooting and murdering her. Also, the individual(s) who carry her body away are not specifically named, at least in the information provided at the bond hearing. Brown is not exactly a random stranger with an undefined relationship to the perpetrators. He is a known criminal who was supposedly was at the house to pay money owed to Shaun Taylor, making him (to my eye) probably a criminal associate. In one of his recent interviews, even Deshaun acknowledges a relationship between Brown and Shaun Taylor. As far as how common it is for kidnapped and sex-trafficked girls/women to be pistol whipped and shot, I have no idea, but my guess is its not unheard of. Also, the "customers" of sex traffickers are probably frequently "strangers" to the victim, and may very well witness violent acts, especially if the victim tries to escape right in front of them. The threat of violence is undoubtedly a key way of keeping these victims in line. I agree that pistol whipping a defenseless teenage girl, who is utterly outnumbered and has no place to run, seems unnecessarily brutal and violent, but hardly out of the question, especially if her murder that day had already been predetermined.

Also, does anyone know if that house is the same place that was described as a "barn" that was searched by LE very early on after B's disappearance, and if it isn't, if the barn was located nearby?
I apologize if I'm just re-hashing stuff that's already been discussed at length. This case just haunts me, and I have a tough time wrapping my head around the idea of an entire community of people, many of whom appear to portray themselves as spiritual/religious, being complicit in such an absolutely inhuman and horrific crime. I see several other cases here on WS (Bobo, Verk, Vetrano...) making progress toward justice. I hope similar progress is being made behind the scenes here.
