That's a definite possibility! However, I thought she came forward before Brittney was missing because Donnie had already been questioned, prior to Brittney's disappearance.
IMHO: I think she confided in Wendy - very near the time the rape occurred. Wendy was, after all, her stepmother. One would think that if she was raped and confided in an adult, that someone would help them. Not in this family, or so it seems. Sadly, Wendy (if it was her) let this child down too by not reporting it and protecting her. IMO, Wendy didn't say anything because it would destroy her family and her sisters (Mendy) family.
Wendy has been charged with
one count of "ENDANGERING WELFARE OF CHILD"; no other sister has been charged with anything.

Section 13A-13-6
Endangering welfare of child.
(a) A man or woman commits the crime of endangering the welfare of a child when:
(1) He or she knowingly directs or authorizes a child less than 16 years of age to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his life or health; or
(2) He or she, as a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than 18 years of age, fails to exercise reasonable diligence in the control of such child to prevent him or her from becoming a "dependent child" or a "delinquent child," as defined in Section 12-15-1.
(b) A person does not commit an offense under Section 13A-13-4 or this section for the sole reason he provides a child under the age of 19 years or a dependent spouse with remedial treatment by spiritual means alone in accordance with the tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination by a duly accredited practitioner thereof in lieu of medical treatment.
(c) Endangering the welfare of a child is a Class A misdemeanor.

I hope this child wasn't raped repeatedly by a string of family members and friends. ETA: It appears there are at least 2 victims. :furious:
Donald Holland Sr - Obviously an 'observer'

uke: who offed himself rather than facing the judge. [Was under investigation for sex abuse when Brittney went to visit him. His suicide came as he, too, was under investigation for
molestation, and he killed himself just half an hour before he was being interviewed by detectives.]
Dustin Kent - Charged with sodomy and sexual abuse in multiple cases. One being a 13yo victim (now 17yo).

Randall 'Scott' Wood - Charged with incest, sodomy and sexual abuse.

Derek Wood Charged in the same incident as Donnie Jr. Arrested for rape and sodomy, and allegedly had sex with the 12-year-old. And now, probation revocation.
