After watching the video with Reporter Anne Emerson I can now edit my earlier post. It feels better knowing the law enforcement has a great case but still feels terrible knowing the world lost a great person.
I have a few thought as this whole thing still doesn't feel right to me. I still feel the Taylor's have something to do with this. The whole family has rap sheets that are a mile long which include trafficking drugs, obstruction of justice, robberies, attempted kidnaping with Randa in 2010, and many other things. <modsnip: Do not discuss random social media or race>
Just a few thoughts and questions that I am trying to figure out as I followed this case back in 2009 when it happened.
1 - What happened to Moody's eye??
As mentioned above - Mr. Richardson knows the reason but could not elaborate. And yes - Karma.
2 - Did they ever find Britt's DNA in Moody's apartment at Sunset Lodge?
they did not answer this but probably not since it sounds like they never went to his apartment
3 - If Moody acted alone - why would he drive right past his Sunset Lodge apartment, Route 17, Georgetown, keep driving to Pole Yard Way boat launch, rape her, choke her to death, and then head back north to the burial spot?
I learned that he acted with his girlfriend and it sounds as if she took the ride with consent. It sounds as though it became non-consensual when she ended up at the North Santee River with Moody and his girlfriend.
I feel the phone was ditched as the 4 men that abducted her (see group I am referring to below) drove over the bridge and threw the phone out the window into the North Santee River (where the phone pinged last) as they headed to McClellanville. If Moody was the sole person that kidnapped Britt - it would make more sense that he would have drove to the first remote location that he could find (which would be a lot closer than 1 hour plus), raped her, then drove to another spot to dispose of her. Again, why would he keep driving right past his apartment to the boat launch area which is almost an hour away. If he's looking for a girl to rape - I don't think he wants to drive an hour before he does it.
4 - There has been a picture shared that showed Brittanee walking down the street with 4 men behind her. It was said one of the people in the group was a Taylor. At this point, the FBI took over and stopped every person that was working on the case from working on it. I have also heard they had signed witness statements that they returned to McClellanville with Britt.
5 - It is also reported that Moody received a speeding ticket the next day of her abduction (04-26-09). How did he transport her south if it was him. I would almost be 99.9% Britt wouldn't just jump on some guy's Harley and go willingly. I will say Moody did look a lot younger in 2009 at 49 years old as he was clean shaved with no gray hair to show. He probably could have passed for 35 in the right lighting conditions. So maybe possibly it wouldn't scare Britt off if he pulled up next to her to offer a ride. If he had a vehicle, did they inspect/impound that for her DNA?
I still feel the guys behind her in the video pushed her into a vehicle and they were headed south.
Sounds like he had the girlfriend's vehicle with his girlfriend in the car as well and they might possibly have this evidence but not saying anything as it could ruin their case.
6 - The burial spot is right up the road from Moody's apartment so I feel this location makes sense.
I have also read there is a connection between the Taylor's and Moody which could support a theory the Taylor's started with her and Moody unfortunately finished with her
Sounds like it started with Moody and his girlfriend and the girlfriend most likely witnessed him killing her
7 - How does law enforcement know for fact that she was buried the next day being that they just recovered her remains a week ago - 13 years later?
As "schooling" pointed out, he probably confessed this and they also have 1000's of pages of cell phone records and other information. Plus, he was out cruising around on his Harley the next day in Surfside. .
I will also add that I definitely think Moody is fully capable of doing this by himself as he was convicted of raping almost 10 girls in California and served 21 years for those crimes. I just don't think he was the sole perp in Britt's case.
I was right about this as Moody has his girlfriend to help him lure Britt into the car willingly as Britt had to walk 1.5 miles to get to her friends hotel.
