Very nice research Krista, it is a very realistic possibility. But I still feel like the police said didn't know her 'directly' for a reason. They could have just said she didn't not know them prior to her leaving the BW. The other million dollar question you brought up is if she did know them how is it they were at the same place at the same time. This question could be answered if the police would tell how she knew of them. This is probably where the run scenario is coming back into play, them being the transportation.
I did some calculations this evening and my best guess is she got less < 500 feet after she exited the BW. I am trying to look this up on your camera shots as well.
Or could it be BOTH.
My 'sticking point' is that I (currently) no longer feel that this was a random or 'quick' thought process....i.e..."Hey, that's the girl from the bar, pick her up''. I believe that the area was 'prescouted'...that the abduction was planned....not necessarily for Brittanee, but for some female victim. There are only so many places on Ocean Blvd where one wouldn't be noticed...where an abduction could happen without alarming someone. I believe that THIS place would be at or near the top of my list.
That said, I certainly think they could have still seen her around. In fact, wasn't it PB who said that Brittanee had been walking Ocean Blvd for the entire week? It's not like she would go unnoticed; she's a beautiful girl. She may have even gone to PB's room prior to that evening. If someone were watching her they'd know she wasn't staying there~but they'd also know that she was virtually alone much of the time. But even if they weren't watching her at all and it just happened to be her walking out the door at that time, that doesn't mean that they didn't indirectly know her from all of their time scouting the area. IMHO.
Hi to you too Blondie in Spokane, and thanks for the friendly welcome. This is quite a tight-knit little community isn't it? back to lurking... ;-)
Young thugs could definitely have planned and executed an abduction with very nasty intentions IMO, as being young does not mean that you haven't already done some pretty serious crimes - just look at Eve Carson's killers for a good example (I could probably list off dozens more but I just got home from work and my brain's not functioning).
**IF** this newest report is correct on the times, and Brittanee was texting in Myrtle Beach at 8:58pm, leaving BWR at 8:59pm, and her phone pings in Georgetown at 10:18pm, that means that she (her phone) went straight from MB to Georgetown and that the abduction took place very shortly after leaving the hotel...

Just for informational purposes: you cannot get from even the southern most MB city limits to northern Georgetown city limits by car in 20 minutes. Just can't be done, it's something like 35 miles.

Maybe you can get to Murrells Inlet in 20 minutes, which is in the extreme north end of Georgetown County. Then it's another 25-30 minutes to Georgetown. After Murrells Inlet, which have several traffic lights you pass through Litchfield beach and Pawleys Island which also have several traffic lights and a 45 mph speed limit (even if you speed a little, it's hard to make good time through there, and with an abducted person in the car, the driver would be crazy to do anything that might draw attention and there are a lot of police along that route, speed traps etc. Locals would know this).
The speed limit through Georgetown is 35 mph, with several traffic lights along the way, and it's several more miles (10-12) from the southern city limits to the bridge that crosses the N Santee river.
Now, I guess if the phone pings towers that are six or seven miles away in a direction favoring this timeline, maybe it's possible but towers aren't that far apart anywhere in the Grand Strand area, afaik. Maybe between Pawleys and Georgetown, yes, not sure.
I am doubting we have a way of knowing exactly which towers were pinged.
edit to add: this may come in handy for some, I use it for fishing but it works for mapping a route and checking distances on land as well, without opening Google Earth:

Ok, just smack me if I say something dumb here...lol
If she was pinged in MB at 8:58 and pinged in Georgetown at 10:18, that's an hour and 20 minutes.
According to google maps, it takes 1 hour and 7 minutes to get to N Santee River Rd from the BWR. Obviously, I wouldn't think she'd be that far...given traffic and speed traps, etc, but I still think an hour and 7 minutes would be enough to have her in Georgetown county if she was taken straight there from BWR. So, am I missing some obvious time gap?? :waitasec:

Anyone have any idea how close this is to MB? Or if this could be a possible route back to NY?
That would be about 3-4 hrs from MB to that town in North Carolina,,,its on Hwy 74 yes could go to NY but you really have to know what Route that they took from MB to NY,,
