FWIW I believe the story told by Brown is too detailed to be simply made up, and it appears there's enough veracity to it that the FBI and other LE believe it as well. If true, Brittanee was killed in South Santee, near McClellanville. Several people supposedly have corroborated (in a second or third-hand way) the claim that the body was disposed of in a swampy area teaming with alligators. Given the proximity of so many of these sites to South Santee, and until there's evidence suggesting otherwise, I tend to believe that as well.
If those things are true, the Georgetown site is too far from the stash house to make sense as a site for disposal of the body. It makes more sense to me that after she was abducted from MB, that site in Georgetown was the first stop. Some of you who have been here much longer than I can correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like that would fit with her cell phone pings and timeline. However, there doesn't appear to be a structure at the Georgetown site to hold her in, so the question becomes why stop there? Perhaps they knew from their drug dealing activities that the site was remote and secluded enough to commit the initial assaults, but if they had a plan in mind to take her someplace and traffic her, they probably would've just waited until they got there. If this really was a spontaneous crime of opportunity, maybe there was no plan, and they just wanted to find a spot they were familiar with and knew it was unlikely LE would show up, and only later decided to take her elsewhere and traffic her. For the conspiracy crowd, the Georgetown site strikes me as a very good location for a transaction of some sort.
Either way, while they were at the Georgetown site, they may have gone through her belongings and discovered the cell phone, so they disposed of it and most her other personal belongings (perhaps keeping some, i.e. sunglasses?), and then moved her further south. If the South Santee house ended up being her final destination, but there's enough evidence to be convinced she was in the three locations mentioned at the FBI briefing in June, then it would stand to reason she was taken from the Georgetown site to somewhere in North Charleston before ending up in South Santee/McClellanville. (As an aside, the FB page for ST previously stated residence as North Charleston. Now it says Charleston...of course it also specifically says "I am a very nice and kind person" and the profile pic is of some preacher (not ST), so I'm not sure you can actually believe a single thing on there). I'm wondering if LE has a bead on the North Charleston site where she was held. I guess it's possible that she spent most of her time in North Charleston after being taken, and was only taken to South Santee at the end.
LE has long stated this case was "complex" and often described it as a puzzle coming together. This past weekend's search is another piece of that puzzle, and I hope they found what they were searching for.
