Judge denies jail informant’s request for lawyer after filling lawsuit tied to Brittanee Drexel disappearance

I agree with you; we all want information and answers. But at this point one of those answers we need is what Taquan Brown’s role was. Everything we think we know of what transpired after Brittanee was abducted comes from this one guy, so I would argue it does matter what his motivations were when he decided to sit down with the FBI and tell what he knew in 2016. If Brown is feeling so threatened and vulnerable, why is he engaging with a journalist and publicly revealing his revised version of the stash house story, plus adding a second chapter which doesn’t involve the Taylors at all? Seems to me he’s just implicating even more people who can now be out to get him. Of course, most of those new suspects can’t actually be identified because, just like with his McClellanville story, Brown doesn’t seem to know anyone’s “government” name. As far as being a prosecution witness, Brown doesn’t currently appear to be willing to help, and he can’t be compelled to testify even if we do get to trial someday. The FBI’s willingness to expose Brown’s identify and their use of other inmates to try to extract more information from him, makes me think they view him less as a potential witness and more as a suspect. JMO.

Do you think it would make sense that he is deflecting away from the Taylors because he really thinks something may happen to him , could someone have threatened his mom if he DIDN'T go with a new story and deflect??

Yes, I think that scenario is a distinct possibility.

Oh my, I can't believe it has been 10 years since Brittanee has gone missing.

I followed her case for quite some time but lost track of the outcome over the years.

It is devastating to see that there has been no justice served....yet.

I see that her family has set up a foundation called Brittanees Little Angels.

They will be having a 10 year anniversary event April 27th ,2019 starting at 12:00 in Myrtle Beach, SC at the Beaver Bar.

Interesting synchronicity @Misngpersresearcher , the foundation is based in Rochester, NY.

Almost a decade later, Brittanee Drexel's family still waiting for answers

Bumping this thread...

10 years later: What happened to Brittanee Drexel?

Nothing new in this. Not even a very good recap if you ask me, but figured I’d post it anyway.

Dear God in heaven, I can't believe it's been ten years.

Props to this young woman.

Interesting that Dawn still thinks one or more of the “friends” knows something or was involved in some way. JMO.

This is a decent article, made up mainly of quotes of some of the key figures in the case.

MBPD “declined to comment” about the case. No real surprise there.

I think there might have been an itty bitty connection like they knew DT from buying rec party drugs , and its still awful strange that the one wanted those shorts back demanded she come back ...but then didn't call her again when she didn't show, they had phone records John and Dawn were blowing up her phone ...but not "I want my shorts" girl

Thats interesting. I hadn't heard that story.

Thats interesting. I hadn't heard that story.

if you look at her official missing FB page I had a conversation with Brittanee's Grandmother who was waited on at a restaurant by the same girl, not long after she was missing and she point blank said I"m Brittanees's Grandmother" and the girl told her she didn't know Brittanee, went and hid in the back and had someone else wait on them, Same shorts girl , its just an odd way to handle things , it makes the hair on my neck stand up .

 

[PrairieWind]

That is odd. I do wonder if some of her friends maybe did know more, maybe were involved in something that resulted in Brittanee's abduction (not actually involved in the abduction probably). And the felt like they could say anything for fear of getting charged themselves. There is no excuse for not doing what they could to try to help find her. At least talk to her family etc.

Brittanee Drexel: FBI searches new location after News10NBC investigation

Brittanee Drexel: FBI searches new location after News10NBC investigation

This part is chilling to me :

Brown: "After she was killed, some of her remains were buried in a garden area and after some time went by, they removed it from the garden area."

Brown says he was there when her remains were dug up. He says some of them were taken to a gator-infested pond, others placed in a stolen RV and taken to a scrapyard.

News10NBC has confirmed through police reports that a neighbor's RV was stolen around that time period.

There's enough things in TB's version of events to make it believable IMO.

Exclusive: P.I. who investigated Brittanee Drexel's disappearance revisits the case

Interesting and frustrating, like so much of this case.

 

[PrairieWind]

They keep investigating, never giving up. Slowly things are coming. Maybe, just maybe, they can get to that tipping point.

Again, like everything in this case, it just raises more questions. If Brown was there to witness them digging the remains up, it was before he was incarcerated, and before he ever told his story to LE. Doesn’t seem like there was much going on with the investigation at that point, so why did they feel compelled to dig them up? And who was “they”? His uncle? Who else? And why put them in two separate locations? Why didn’t Brown share all this back in 2015/2016?? So frustrating. Hopefully the attention being generated by the anniversary of her abduction will lead to a break in this case. It’s long overdue.

Brittanee Drexel: FBI searches new location after News10NBC investigation

I can't believe it has been 10 years! My goodness...it doesn't seem like that long ago for me....but I am sure it has been like an eternity for her family.

It should be easy to confirm if someone was buried there if they used cadaver dogs to get a hit on the right spot. There's also a chance that some of her DNA was left behind.

I wish more than anything for closure for Brittanee's family. Hoping for an addition to thread #20 with 'ARRESTS' and 'FOUND DECEASED'
