I"d forgotten about Zeaux posting about the white SUV. I don't know how to do the multiple quotes, so I C/P the pertinent parts. It sure sounds like Donnie and Dustin's MO. IMO either they planned bad things for Brittney, or they wanted to convince her to testify on their behalf, or they convinced her to leave town. Thoughts?

"I hope so... Please let me know or edit as necessary if I overstep.

First, Dustin Kent drives a white SUV like BW was reportedly seen getting into with 2 men the night she went missing.

There has been an ongoing investigation for several months into a group of men molesting young girls. DH was one of the men being investigated and had a meeting with LE scheduled for the day he shot himself. He was staying at a friend's house (the Styx River house) because he wasn't allowed to stay at home because of the investigation and charges against him."

"I still think it's important that the vehicle Brittney was reportedly seen getting into May 31 matched Dustin Kent's and there were 2 men seen in it. Knowing what they were involved in, I don't know how anyone could still think BW is in hiding."

"I was told she was seen getting into a white SUV with 2 men the night she went missing. I believe DH's was black and it was thought to be a mistake. Now that this has gone down with the 2 arrests, it's highly suspicious. I am not sure where she was seen getting in the vehicle or where it was headed. I don't know the witness, but the source telling me the story and the vehicle matches (D)JK's is a reliable source.

I think I told you I was pretty sure who the child molester was, and I wasn't referring to one who was arrested. I had no idea of the others. I might be able to explain more about that soon."
sbm

Ah yes - "Zeaux posting about the white SUV" - I never understood why that claim of BW "seen getting into a white SUV with 2 men the night she went missing" appeared to have been later retracted.

Was someone revealing too much of the truth and the story had to point all the blame on the dead guy?

Could be. I don't know, but Zeaux retracted the statement later when she learned (was told)the claim was bogus. We don't know the source, so it's hard to speculate about an ulterior motive.

06/22/2012, 1:06 PM

Important update: Now I'm hearing the supposed sighting of BW getting into a white SUV with 2 men is probably a hoax or rumor.

Thanks Bessie.


"To 'wag the dog' means to purposely divert attention from what would otherwise be of greater importance, to something else of lesser significance. By doing so, the lesser-significant event is catapulted into the limelight, drowning proper attention to what was originally the more important issue."

(MPD Cpl. Chris) "Levy added the MPD has not received any information to indicate Wood is forcibly being held captive and said friends and family has been cooperative, although they have provided some "questionable” information.

"We’ve got some incomplete answers,” he said, adding that the family did in fact hear from Brittney between the time she left her home and the time she was reported missing.

"That wasn’t originally reported. So there has been some back and forth. Some answers haven’t been entirely accurate,” Levy said."

RSBM from link: WS TOS call for discussions to be based on fact. For our purposes, facts are statement published by mainstream media (MSM), law enforcement, and other official sources, as well as information posted by members verified as insiders.

But further to the point... LE & KlaasKIDS have the phone records and several of us have provided abundant documentation from MSM links to further support Zeaux statements about the cell phone records including the CALLS Brittney made from Styx River.

So if we now need to provide further evidence to back up MSM, LE, KlaasKIDS and a verified insider then we are just spinning our wheels and going nowhere fast.

I think that means the fact can be discussed, not that it has to be accepted as true. For example, if the rumor mill said John Doe abused animals, we couldn't discuss that. If MSM, LE or a verified insider state that they have been informed John Doe abused animals, then that fact can be discussed here, not that you have to accept as true that John Doe did, in fact, abuse animals. Just my 2 cents.

 

[reedus23]

:truce: Legitimate question here so please don't shoot... just trying to get to the bottom of why we are even questioning the established facts of Brittney's last phone CALL that was made by her from Styx River at 12:07am on May 31st.<modsnip>

I don't know the answer to your question, but my thoughts are that the more facts you have to ignore in order to make a theory fit, the more likely the theory just isn't correct. In other words, the theory should fit the facts we shouldn't try to make facts that fit the theory.

 

[bessie]

Personally, I think more deference should be given to locals or insiders who have taken the time and effort to become verified. That doesn't mean you have to accept everything they say as golden. All facts, even facts provided by LE should be checked and double checked. I believe MSM works at websleuths. I also believe verified insiders works here at websleuths. Again, that doesn't mean you accept anything either says blindly. Comparing verified insiders to rumor hounds is wrong and could lead to others being less likely to become verified. We should be thankful for the insight they provide and then go about doing our checking and double checking without belittling them. Just my two cents.

Agreed. Then likewise, I take it you agree it is wrong to disparage members for checking the facts.

It helps to keep things in perspective.

 

[reedus23]

Re BW's last phone call: We were exploring the possibility that BW never left CW's house that fateful evening/night.

<modsnip>

Are you suggesting that she was killed and buried there? I'm not sure I follow.

The only thing I know is they did get her phone records and she placed some calls after leaving her mom's house. One of the people she called is one of the people listed in the list of 'characters'. I'm not allowed to say who, because there is an investigation going on. But that person apparently failed to divulge this information.

I wasn't sure how to quote you and the quote, but if this is accurate, it's very important in my humble opinion. Failure to come forward with information as basic as having had a telephone conversation with a missing person, when I'm guessing that missing person is a family member, is a huge red flag.

True, and if the facts are accurate, one needn't be defensive. The truth will stand up under examination.

 

[reedus23]

I think DH killing himself has EVERYTHING to do with this young woman being missing!

I think it's certainly a piece to the puzzle.

 

[reedus23]

Where, besides <MODSNIP> Facebook page, do we have confirmation that Donnie picked up Brittney at Tillmans Corner? Did we ever learned how that was determined? Do we have a MSM or LE link? Or is this another case of blaming the dead guy?

I'm slowly working on a timeline and need something besides a FB post. TIA!!

<MODSNIP>

I could be mistaken but I believe Zeaux, the verified insider, provided us with the fact that Mobile County PD confirmed that DH had picked up Brittney in Tillmans Corner. I think Zeaux may have also indicated that DH's phone pinged in the area. Pretty certain on the first part, slightly less certain on the last part.

 

[reedus23]

I was so glad to see Britts case back in the first page but I am getting confused and as someone that has followed since the start I imagine anyone new to this case, just popping in and reading this last page is probably confused too.

Are you saying you don't believe any of the info from the media or verified insiders? What did the verified insiders do to cause this mistrust? I think I have missed something and if it is not against TOS I'd like to know why all the information we have so far is suddenly being discounted.

As far as I am aware, the media has said several times that the gun was Britts and that was confirmed here by an insider. What specific reason do you have to toss that info aside and come to the conclusion that it probably wasn't hers? Also are you guys suggesting that Chessie was lying about Britt leaving to meet DH? Why do you think that? Where do you believe she was going and who with or do you think she never left Chessies and that Chessie holds the key to solving all this?

Excuse my many questions, I am just trying to understand why the sudden shift in things here, I feel like I have missed something! Thanks to anyone who can answer me!

Well said just.

 

[reedus23]

I wonder why Brittney would need to lie about where is was going? It seems she marched to the beat of her own drum, imo. She either was really going to her friends and got off track in some fashion or she lied to go with UDH. But why the lie? To throw folks off track? Someone straighten me out here. Thanks!

Those are the 2 scenarios that come to my mind. For some reason plans changed or she didn't want CW knowing or giving her grief for going to DH's.

 

[reedus23]

A verified insider is just that verified to be local not that they have verified info!
chessie is the last person to SEE Britt.

How does this insider know it was Britts gun.
Is it registered?
I appreciate the info insiders bring here but I dont take it as legit unless its verified by MSM or LE.

If Verified insider is getting thir info from family I really dont believe an of it.

Klass Kids gets their info from LE They are a search and rescue group not PI's.


so as a fresh start whats wrong with going back to the beginning and starting over with WHAT we DO know....

Just a thought!
Those that want to try this hop on board those that dont its fine.

Her case is going cold I see nothing wrong with going back to the begining and looking at this differently because of everything we know now that we didnt know then!

Chessie is not necessarily the last person to see Brittney. She is the last known person to see Brittney that we are aware of as far as we know. I believe facts provided by verified insiders are given the same deference as a fact provided by MSM. It is up to you to put as much or as little weight to each as you like. However, just because you do not believe it doesn't mean WE don't know it. Some may give it more weight to it than you and neither are wrong.

 

[reedus23]

Because uncle Donnie was facing incest and rape charges!
Id bet my last dollar Chessie told her to stay away and she didnt so she lied!
JMO
Notice no one said anything about donalds troubles at all....

And they all knew and knew what was comming!

jmo

I suppose I understand not telling all to MSM, but I would be very curious how open they were with LE when Brittney first went missing and before the arrests.

{RSBM}

I want to add this at least to the detailed timeline I am going to send to you. You can either answer these <modsnip> or here if you feel comfortable:

BW's cell phone 'pinged' or was used either text or calls made off the Styx River tower at 12:07am on May 31st?

BW's phone 'pinged' or was used either to text or call off the Grand Bay tower at 1:40am on May 31st?

When you say she spoke with 2 people "that night" do you mean May 30th or May 31st? Just want to clarify since this is part of the "misinformation" I've collected from public posts made by key players.

BBM
I mean late night May 30 to early morning May 31.

June 24, 2012, 4:03 PM

I need to provide an update:


Some of this may sound repetitive, but I'm saying it to put it together with current known information. Keep in mind, in this case, some of the known information has changed due to information either trickling in or originally being withheld.

PHONE USE
BW left her mom's home Wed. 5/30 with the intention of going to see DH in Styx River.
BW's last cell phone pings were over 24 hours later. [2nd to last ping: from Styx River just after midnight 5/31, early 6/1. Last ping: from Grand Bay, after 1 am, 6/1.]
Both pings were from text messages being sent from BW's phone.

DH Shooting/Suicide
He was at Styx River, in his vehicle, in the driver's seat. He shot himself in the chin and the bullet came out his temple. Forensic tests were done and all indications are he did shoot himself. The vehicle was searched, including searching for any evidence relating to BW. The house at Styx River was also search and there were no signs of any struggle, blood, etc. in the house.

Snipped by me

Zeaux, In this video at the Styx River house, the reporter states Donnie returned to his home in Fairhope and shot himself.

http://www2.wkrg.com/news/2012/jun/07/t-ar-3936400/#fbcomments

"Then Donnie Wood returned home near Fairhope the next day, and he committed suicide, shooting himself, heightening concern for Brittney."
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_...tney-wood-ala-teen-mom-missing-for-two-weeks/

"Wood was last seen on May 30, when she told family members that she was heading to the Styx River area to visit her uncle, Donnie Wood. He later shot himself at his home near Fairhope, according to police."
http://blog.al.com/live/2012/06/searchers_look_for_missing_tee.html

"The focus for the family still lies in this area where Brittney was suppose to meet her uncle last Thursday. He killed himself the following day near Fairhope."
http://www2.wkrg.com/news/2012/jun/08/t-ar-3942690/

June 25, 2012, 1:36 PM

I have an important update/correction.

One of my sources who has repeatedly told me DH was at Styx River when he shot himself was incorrect. He was "near" his home in Fairhope. Not at the home, but near it in a remote area.

http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176634&page=3

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sighting at Styx River
Based on the current information that BW was at the house in Styx River at some point on Thursday (due to the phone records), in my opinion, it is very possible the girl in the swing was BW. There's no reason for the neighbor to lie, she was willing to speak on camera without disguising her appearance, and as Eileen pointed out, all they'd have to do is ask the presumably not missing person we've been told by DH's family it must have been because they claim BW was never there.

I am sorry for the confusion caused by me having to change details. Please keep in mind that my sources are not LE, just human beings involved in a family crisis, and they are also dealing with people withholding information from them or telling them flat out lies for whatever reason. Sometimes things are confused or just not quite sorted out. I try to determine if what I'm told is verified and by whom. Sometimes it's just not quite right. There's a lot to try to keep up with.

2 news reports, both from the same day, both featuring CW, one has Mobile LE, the other has Chaplain Tony, yet one says BW was last known to be at the truck stop in Grand Bay and the other says she was last known to be in the Styx River area. Which one do we trust?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, it was "Chaplain Tony" who told reporters BW's last ping from Grand Bay was at 1:47 on May 31, not June 1 as the MPD stated.

No one in the family has heard from her 5/31. The last text was at 1:47 am June 1. She had contact with people on 5/31, which was after she left her mom's. That's what LE is referring to. There's been no contact since.

[reedus23]

I'm looking for actual quotes regarding Brittney's visit to Donnie's house. Feel free to add any you might find. Thanks.

JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL
Young Mom Vanishes after Visiting Uncle
Aired June 11, 2012

VELEZ-MITCHELL: I`m going to throw that same question out to Chessie Wood, because you`re Brittany Wood`s mom. We were having audio problems. Chessie, what`s going on here?

WOOD: Well, I do not believe they have a relationship. He was married to my sister. And he was -- he was -- my son has even went to their house a lot.

My sister was at that house with Donnie the Thursday night, that would be June 1st. So we don`t know if she even made it to Don`s. She was not actually seen with Donnie. The reason we`re searching that area is because her phone was pinged there.

Now if it had some relation -- something to do with my brother-in- law`s suicide, we don`t know. The Mobile Police Department and the Baldwin County Sheriff`s Department is taking care of that. We as a family and a community is just searching for Brittany.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1206/11/ijvm.01.html

I think initially WWH was denying Brittney was ever there. I think since then I have seen statements where she admits DH was the last person known to be with Brittney.

 

[reedus23]

BBM - So if DH was already dead, who told LE that BW was one of DH's victims? TIA

I think the investigation had been ongoing for several months.

 

[reedus23]

http://classic.lagniappemobile.com/article.asp?articleID=5550&SID=1

These are snippets from a lengthy article. I'm sorry if it appears choppy but I needed to keep it short while including LE's quotes. I remember some posters questioning using Lagniappemobile.com as a MSM source because it's more of a weekly advertisement paper, but I'll go ahead and post this as it does contains direct LE quotes.


"MPD Cpl. Chris Levy said he couldn’t go into too much detail out of concern for the department’s investigative techniques, but Wood’s family reported her missing June 2 after she "packed her bags and walked out of the house” May 30.

much more at link.

"She left with personal items with the intent of being gone at least overnight and that was not unusual,” Levy said. "How long she intended to leave, there is no way to know until we find her. She is an adult and we receive adult missing persons reports all the time, and what you have to know is that adults are allowed to leave, and if they don’t want to be found that’s okay too.”"

sbm

"Neither the MPD or the BCSO would confirm the rumor that Wood had gone to visit her uncle the night she disappeared, but BCSO spokesperson Maj. Anthony Lowery said a three-day search in the Styx River area earlier this month was related to her cell phone records.

"We believe her cell phone went to that area,” Lowery said. "We don’t have any information to believe she was with the cell phone at the time.”


sbm

""All we reported to the family is that we had information through our investigation that puts [Wood] in the Grand Bay area or south Mobile County at or around same time [Holland] is committing suicide,” Levy said"


sbm

""We’ve got some incomplete answers,” he said, adding that the family did in fact hear from Brittney between the time she left her home and the time she was reported missing.

"That wasn’t originally reported. So there has been some back and forth. Some answers haven’t been entirely accurate,” Levy said."

Again, this is a red flag to me.

 

[reedus23]

I decided to go back and read the first thread!
knowing now what I did not know then shed a diff light on alot of the info.

Look at all the conflicting stories Chessie has come out with.
Look at the MESS all the family is in and the horrific charges.

Yet not one family member chose to bring it up as a reason this girl was missing!
They chose to fight with each other like the Hatfields and McCoys on Facebook.
Tried hack into her phone.
WWH saying she and the boys were with DH and never saw BW there.
Yet Chessies says she was last seen with DH

I believe they all know what happed to BW.

Wll put.

ETA - If I could type, that would have read WELL put.
