From other articles, it seems like LE had a very good idea of what had happened and who was involved by at least November or December 2009, probably earlier. In an interview published in 2016, one of the detectives who had been involved at the beginning of the investigation said the various LE agencies “had momentum” in late 2009, and were working well together. He said they were “close” to arrests in early 2010 but then both Georgetown and Charleston counties pulled their detectives from Brittanee’s case. After that LE seeming lost whatever momentum they had, and there was the whole pointless Raymond Moody misdirection. This case should have been solved, and the Drexel family should’ve been able to bury their daughter, in 2010. Begs the question of why it remains unsolved all these years later, doesn’t it? Is it incompetence? Corruption? Political considerations or cowardice of the local prosecutors? All of the above?
