AL AL - Brittney Wood, 19, Mobile, 31 May 2012 - # 3

[revampz]

I read the comments and yes now half the world know who at least one of the victims was....but really everybody, I think most of us had worked out that that little girl was one already....so anyone who reads the charges will work it out.......

The woman who made that comment is blaming it all on DH and that it is because of him that the others are being charged....... I can just imagine the gossip in that town. In a way I really hope that is the truth as horrible as it sounds as the LE are talking multiple victims and it is the sickest of sick if that is true.

One thing I really think DH was an evil man and because of this I do not think Brittany is alive.

MOO

Another thing, I really hope they have removed the young victim from that town and that family, that poor girl can never hope to have any form of a nice upbringing or live without a stigma attached after this.

Lots more to come on this one I'm afraid. Such a sad sad sad situation. Where is Brittney? All of this is making me feel more like Brittney is not alive.

 

[ChattyWoman]

Praying for Brittney and all the innocent victims in this atrocious mess.

I think the woman who blames it all on Donnie is forgetting the timeline. Donnie was supposed to be questioned the morning he shot himself. So it wasn't Donnie who gave up the others names. In this article it says it was either Dustin or Scott who confessed. Derek was being investigated at the same time as the others. No one is any less to blame here. They were all in it together. Not fair to blame the dead guy (Donnie) for everything.

"Captain Arthur said the juvenile victim in this case contacted the sheriff's office. Investigators called one of the men she accused in for questioning, and officials said the suspect confessed.

"The age of this juvenile along with the circumstances surrounding it make it a heinous crime," said Captain Arthur.

Arthur said the suspect who confessed gave them the name of the second suspect in this case."

So either Dustin or Scott narked on each other. Donnie was already dead so it wasn't him accusing the others. The little girl who called the sheriff is the one who gave names. She the real hero in all of this!!

As an addict, the idea of financially profiting from luring other victims might just be enough to make a victim a perpetrator.

Perps. will sometimes develop a close, but platonic (i.e., not a sexual), relationship with a young woman in order to gain access to other young women through her. In return, the first young woman is given access to drugs and other special favors.

Not at all uncommon.

New article about Derek:

"Thursday investigators arrested Derek Wood after the preliminary hearing of Dustin Kent in Bay Minette. All these cases are related. This is the third arrest we've had," P.I.O Anthony Lowery said."

snipped

"Lowrey said it is "unfortunate that these people are related to her." FOX10 wanted to know whether the girl's disappearance was related to the investigation."

"We actually have been investigating this much longer than the time period Brittney Wood went missing. As far as her, she's not a victim in our case, and we do have multiple victims," Lowery said."

snipped

"Lowery said the Sheriff's office began it's investigation after a minor victim came forward. He said there may be one or possibly two more arrests in their investigation with one expected early this week."

Any idea who will arrested next? Male or female?

Yes, it's important to note that the victim reported more than one perpetrator. We don't know how many, but it was more than one. I think the suspect that provided the name of the other just confirmed or validated the victim's statement.

 

[migranny]

I can see why this family gets very little help.

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

Wow more arrests coming? This is truly insane!

 

[MotherOcean]

For non-locals:

It's the lead story on Fox10News, starting right now...

LE states mutiple victims, BW is not one of them. LE began involvement after minor victim came forward. LE expect atleast one more arrest possibly two. More arrests expected early this week.

That's about it.

I would like to ask the question…LE, is there a connection between BW's disappearance and the relatives arrests/investigation. LE states she is not a victim in their case (the rape/incest case), what about her "connection" to the case. To me there is no doubt they are connected. I think LE worded their statement carefully.

Also gliving, I'm wondering the same thing...will the next arrest be male or female

MOO

Hi guys....my comment above, I hope you all dont think that I think that DH was the only perpetrator, I was just commenting on what the woman who made the comment said...

SHE obviously thinks that it is just DH and that the others are innocent, there have been other comments like this on facebook, defending the others.........I really do think it is a family ring and that the victims are members of their families.....hence the multiple victims............but I also think Brittany was a victim as well, however the police are saying she wasnt...........

All in all it is a really horrible, horrible case...

Just read some posts above re Brittanys connection. I have no doubt that her disappearance and the family arrests are connected. Are you thinking maybe Brittany may be involved as well and did the bolt????? It is a possibility. Just wondering why you are asking whether the next arrest is male or female.

Well, as "they" say, dead men don't talk. It's the victims whose testimony will matter now. LE has now made it clear that there are multiple victims, so that is going to lend weight to the allegations.

 

[fabvab]

It's not the gun, IMO. I don't think the gun would warrant a need to disappear. As I remember, the gun deal was prior to her disappearance, as BW had time to boast about the trade to DH. That is how family members knew about it.

I didn't hear that she boasted about trading her gun to DH. I figured she'd like having a gun for protection. moo

My thought on wondering if the next arrest is male or female is because of some shady remarks, actions, and in my opinion possible cover-up from a female family member of DHs. As aways...MOO

I've debated long and hard about whether to post any more updates. It did become very difficult to read so many off-base assumptions that actually read more like accusations about BW's parents. I have always been limited in what I can share here for various reasons. Knowing that some of the comments are so far from the actual truth but not being able to explain is beyond frustrating.

The truth is also that I ran out of information that I could provide. I'm still not sure that I can shed much light on the current situation without jeopardizing the investigations.

Here's what I can tell you:

While some of you have your mind made up that the whole family "had to know" about the sexual abuse, that's simply not the case. As I've said before, many members of the family knew about the investigation regarding DH prior to BW's disappearance and his suicide. They knew it was about allegations of sexual abuse of a child. However, there was some disbelief in the validity of the accusations. I'm not saying this was right, I'm just saying that's the way it was. They thought they knew DH and didn't think he was capable of such things. So when the arrests of DK and RSW happened, these same people were shocked and some were still in disbelief. Then there are those who believe the arrests wouldn't be made without solid evidence.

DW's parents had no idea he was even suspected of anything. He went in voluntarily to talk to LE on Friday at the request of LE. This is still developing, so there is not much I can share. Hopefully LE will issue a statement to clear up some of the details as soon as they're able. I'm not going to give any details about the charges, circumstances of his arrest, etc. I can tell you that his parents are reeling from this and have some of the same questions you all do.

Bottom line, BW's parents want her to come home, to be safe, to be alive. At least one of them truly believes she is going to be found safe. That belief is based largely on hope and faith, not on any inside information or knowledge of BW's whereabouts. Any assumption to that effect is wrong. The other parents hope she is alive but believe the chances are looking slimmer as each day goes by.

LE is NOT hiding BW. Period. The likelihood that BW has been hiding on her own is slim to none. She doesn't have the means. If BW was aware of the alleged sexual abuse activities of these family members, there was no legitimate reason that that would cause her to hide. She went to visit DH regularly and showed no fear of him. She was never a fearful person anyway. She felt invincible, like nothing bad would happen to her. It is my understanding that this never changed up to her disappearance. The references made early after her disappearance to her not being in any trouble if she turned herself in had nothing to do with the sexual abuse cases against her family members. It was also not related to drugs. It was related to something that, in my opinion, if she were alive, would not keep her from coming home.

Please try to remember that this thread is about Brittney's disappearance. That is why I joined here and have provided information. The sexual abuse cases are going to proceed as LE sees fit. They don't need sleuthing. The mystery is still Where Is Brittney? Is it related to these arrests? If so, how? I don't personally know the answers, but I am hoping to find out every day.

Zeaux, very glad to see you back!

God help me bc I can predict many people won't agree with this post...but...I'm not buying this stuff about Derek. It's given me pause to look at the other uncles as well. Nothing in RSW nor DTW backgrounds, online footprints, their mo etc - absolutely nothing points to anything like this nasty stuff being brought up now. I don't know much about DK but DH sure did appear to be into some yucky stuff based on his interests online. I'm seriously starting to wonder if the initial victim felt guilty about the suicide of DH so she/he just started to throw around some blame. Which brings me to this question: Has this alleged victim taken a poly? Have they seen a doctor?

 

[KateB]

I didn't hear that she boasted about trading her gun to DH. I figured she'd like having a gun for protection. moo

It's not a verifiable fact, but if it was as presented in earlier threads, with her bragging about the deal, it's not like she delivered it the night he used it on himself, was my point. There was a time lag between the deal and the suicide. Some comments earlier seemed to me to suggest that.

from Mail Online News (not sure if this is MSM)
Brother of missing teen mother arrested - nearly two months after sister, 19, vanished

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-weeks-sister-vanished.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

The case of Brittney Wood, who has a two-year-old daughter, has baffled investigators who have not yet found any trace of the teen.
More...
The sheriff’s office would not comment when asked whether Derek Wood's arrest is linked to his sister’s disappearance.

 

[Psychic Sleuth]

I hadn't thought of the possibility that Brittney was involved in this 'ring' if you want to call it that. It is entirely possible that she was involved and maybe the 'you know what was hitting the fan' and she bolted to avoid prosecution? That would certainly explain the get together with DH. Perhaps they needed to talk about what was going down. Perhaps he told her she's next? Perhaps that's why LE isn't so concerned about her well being? Perhaps they believe she's running to avoid prosecution? There is so much more to this story sadly. If she had a drug problem is it possible she was involved in this for drugs/money?

 

[Jersey*Girl]

I feel absolutely terrible for the young female family member who posted the lengthy comment on the older article. I also feel she will be even more disappointed in the near future. Law Enforcement does not make arrests on whims, notions or gossip. I am assured they physical evidence and sworn statements if not more. I am also extremely bothered that this person named Donnie's victim. She deserves privacy to heal.

IMMHO

I'm actually thinking everything she said adds up.

I know somebody that had a relationship with her father from the time she was young to the time her sex offender dad died. Sure she was a victim when she was a kid, but as an adult - well that's another story. Seems her disgusting pedophile daddy molested, raped, fondled multiple students in a few schools and church as well. Those kids spoke up. They went to court. Several family members came out of the woodwork to speak out against this pedophile, yet his daughter called them liars! They then told the judge about stuff he did to this young lady, his daughter - she told the judge they were all just jealous of her, yada yada. Mmmkay... She might have been a victim but she turned into a pig that defended her sick dad by pointing the finger at other family members that were completely innocent. Literally. This jerk tried spying on me & all of our neighbors as well - boys & girls. I hated him & I'm glad he's dead! Thank gosh the judge saw through all of this!

Ran into his daughter that he continued his affair with a few years ago & she got his face tattooed on her inner thigh. Sick if ya ask me...

So yeah, I do think what was posted by Britt's family member could be true bc I am familiar with the case I just quoted in this post. Anything is possible...
