Good morning all. I missed the boards over the weekend..but think I have caught up on the posts. Looks like no new information yet, except LE has finished searching that area in Gerogetown.

I wish they would find her....:sad:

looks like to me that somebody either took her against her will or asked if she needed a ride. maybe she met some people at a bar or something and they asked her if she needed a ride back to her hotel.

If Brittanee is no longer alive hopefully somebody will slip up and give LE the info they need to find her.

[iluvmua]

it also could be possible that she asked people for a ride back to her hotel.

Brittanee was going to walk 20 blocks back right?

[panache]

I'm confused about the cell phone. I thought I read Brittany left her cell phone behind, yet some news reports say they are tracking her location by the pings. Am I misunderstanding?

[playnice]

IIRC her dad or stepdad said she hated walking and wouldnt walk anywhere. So its possible she asked someone for a ride.

She had her purse & cell phone with her. Everything else was at the hotel.

Thanks, I guess I was confused.

I agree, she either was abducted by a stranger or something happened with one or more of the (15) people with whom she went there. At this point, I am leaning away from the 4 guys hotel at Blue Water.

LE probably watched that tape all the way until those boys checked out of the hotel to see if and when they were coming and going after Brit left. I dont feel they are involved either unless further info is released to point back at them.

[~jomomma~]

was hoping there'd be some good news

*sigh*

[justathought]

I feel very bad for the mom. Does she have any family (siblings, parents, etc.) that can be with her in SC?

Down 17 before you get to 526. There is an Isle of Palms connector and several islands.
Not being from the area is this the same direction as the river they were searching for her where the phone pinged?
Im not good with maps.:blushing:

[iluvmua]

Did they have Divers search the river? just in case her body was weighted down with something.

i don't think so?

[FindtheLost]

Mt. Pleasant is in SC. This is a very nice area of Charleston. I do know that the Charleston police were involved with the search.

Leaving MB going to Georgetown would be going south on 17 and continue south on 17 you would reach Mt Pleasant.

Santee River is a little more than half way between MB and Mt Pleasant.


This could be good news if true.

I agree, and I can understand why they would leave at 1:00 AM also, for example they wanted to stay until the last minute, but what I don't understand is them not trying to get their deposit back. This case is very confusing, and I really wish it would come together. I am a patient armchair sleuth, but now I am getting impatient. LOL!

I have never waited for a "deposit refund" when I check out...they just credit my card. And I have left in the wee hours of the morning to get home when needed.

Regarding the deposit, they most probably booked their hotel online and paid for it with a credit or debit card. Their deposit will be/was refunded electronically to the card, depending upon the condition of the room.
This was discussed last night.
The boys left in the middle of the night because the drive was so long and they needed to get back. Apparently they just left behind some random clothes and empty bottles.

I don't know but Bio-dad said they are going to use other techniques starting Monday. see 13wham.com.

Myrtle Beach Police Continue Search for Missing Chili Teen

"Those leads and that search came up with zero. There's noting they came up with," he said. "They are using other techniques starting [Monday] regarding the search and to think positively…It gives me hope. It gives me hope that they're using every possibility."

Brittanee's parents said they appreciate all of the support and remain hopeful their daughter will be found

[Mandymax]

I'm a little slow on the uptake here - I haven't been following this as closely as I follow some other cases - but what exactly was the makeup of this spring break group? Were there any adults at all? Or was it a bunch of teenagers who just cut out on their own for spring break?

Map shows Myrtle Beach to Mt. Pleasant is only 1 hour 52 minutes...so not far!

[lune3]

I don't know but Bio-dad said they are going to use other techniques starting Monday. see 13wham.com.

Last night it was reported that the search in the river area would be stopped. I'm glad to hear that they are continuing today after all. BD's phone was in that area for a reason. Searching the water, banks, and surrounding area I imagine would be difficult and time consuming.

[Alwill978]

Looks like the people searching for BD...do NOT think the girls or people that went down with her had anything to do with the disapperance.

Snipped from page****
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT FOR A FACT JOHN GRIECO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRITTANEE'S DISAPPEARANCE NOR DOES KHALID AND THE BOYS, THE GIRLS WH0O SHE DROVE DOWN WITH AND THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN RULED OUT. THEY LOVE HER AS A SISTER AND JOHN LOVES HER AS A GIRLFRIEND. BRITT IS A FIGHTER, A STRONG MINDED WOMAN, AND A CARING LOVING PERSON. WE ARE JUST AWAITING HER ARRIVAL TO COME BACK HOME TO US.

WE HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT WE WILL FIND HER.******

[playnice]

IIRC her family has a timeshare so this may not have been her first trip to MB and if it wasnt she may have met people from a previous trip and decided she was going to go see them. If there was a rift between her and the girls at the hotel maybe she just decided she wasnt going back.
Hopefully its just a conincidence that her phone pinged last and went dead in the river area as she was heading south.
And if she had already withdrawn all her money there would be no need to attempt a withdrawel.
I sure hope it is something like this.

And the cell phone signal would make sense since its location is on the way to Mount Pleasant.

I hope so too, but I can't get out of my mind that her mom said that Brittanee tended to look out for her brother and sister during the stressful time at home. I just don't see her abandoning her siblings. Plus the fact that Brittanee called her mom and told her she would be home on Sunday. Why do that if she was planning to run away?

I really think someone abducted her on the way back to the hotel and she is in the river but hope to find I am wrong .

Would they have her cell records by now to see who she was communicating with?

[Ice Cycle]

Would they have her cell records by now to see who she was communicating with?

As I said yesterday their definitely needs to be a correct time line as their is so much conflicting information in this case. I still would like to know who the last person is she text and have heard 2 different versions. I also question why the Peter guy or one of them did not offer to drive her back to the hotel. I also wonder why she even went there and did not have something planned with the girls.
Just too many things that do not make sense.

you would think that would be the easier thing to do..since they can pull the info from the friends phones to see the times and also get her phone records..this whole case no one is bringing up the little things that are making it so hard to figure out..the shorts the red flip flops the times, who was the last text to was she really going back to take shorts nothing is adding up IMO but it could be because there are 20 some young kids they are trying to get info out of and sure most were drinking all week and I sure hope they wish they had walked with her..all these kids think nothing will happen to them..girls should never walk alone they try to put this in their heads in college campuses these days I know cause I live in one and several girls have been attacked thank goodness they are alive..but they walked alone at night..it is sad that we have to live like this but it is reality..all JMO

True and I guess it is possible that they had not rented a car. But still why did she even go there? Not really asking it's just I have a long list of questions I would like so have someone fill in the blanks. Guess that is not going to happen anyway soon.

[aproudmom]

Sorry.:ohmy:Dont cry.

lol no playnice I meant hoped she had been found..Alive and well..seems like when I sign on I pray I will see found alive and well

I can about bet ya nope you wont get that answered to bad some of us cant get a call in on NG show but sure it would take the whole hour with all my questions..also there was 15 so there is no way they drove in 1 car so I am guessing they took several cars down there..had not heard of them renting a van or anything..and the pic I saw on the one girls facebook looked to be just a car..since she ask her mom if she could go there surely someone had ask her if she wanted to go down there cause she ask her mom and she said no..

Well what I was referring to is the quys she went to see, wonder if LE ask them why they did not drive her back to her hotel since it was 20 blocks and they were going out anyway. We need to find someway to send a list of questions to some reporter to see if they can get answered. NG is still obsessing on the CA case, she has to sick of hearing her name, I know I am. I get the feeling she would like to go back and prosecute that case.

oh why they didn't drive her back..got ya..well boys+watching a game=not being gentlemen I guess..they hung out with her Friday and Saturday at the beach so I would guess they knew her well enough to care..but sure they just never thought about this happening..

ITA we do need to list of questions and I have followed Caylee's case but everything is public so really wish she would move on to other cases..we can get all the information on the net so it is not news to me I have read all the docs in her case..but I do thank her for keeping alot of these cases in the public's eye when others dont..

[playnice]

30-45 min every night of the A's is a bit too much. I wish she would use some of that time for other missing persons that their family would love some air time. We already know what happened to Caylee & the perp is sitting in jail. Time to move on.
I hope she discusses Brittanee's case tonight.

Ice just from what I have seen she just seems not to know to much since she can not get all the answers perhaps she even wants..if it is true she talked to some guy pretending to be the friend in NY father that she was suppose to be at then I can see why she would not have been worried if she thought she spoke to the parent...it was spring break and she had alot of her at the time they did keep in contact up until Saturday..I do not think her mother is dodging questions JMO I do not even know how these parents get out of bed to tell you the truth..I am sure she is going through all the what if's I know I would be..my one question is how was she going to be home on Sunday when the others did not go back until Monday..her mom said she told her at 2pm on Saturday she would see her tomorrow..which would have been Sunday..:confused: unless she just planned on trying to think of a reason to ask her mom if she could stay another night..

I agree. Why is it so hard to put together a time line to get out in the media of correct info, like last calls/texts times made from her phone to ...then tie in times of survelliance tapes. Also, confirm things...like she was returning shorts, etc......just doesnt make sense why they dont.

I dont think he predicted anything but there is always hope he will get it right...He thought that Caylee would never be found. I like looking at his websites over the years though.

I also like looking at them I go to eyes for lies just cause I like to read what she has to say not so sure she is right on every case but like you said if there is any hope then O well ..thanks if your the one that posted it...interesting

[Maelstrom5]

I don’t know his claimed track record but in my opinion psychics are a waste of time and emotional energy. I do not believe that they have ever demonstrated a ability greater than your average Web-sleuth possesses.

Fox news:

Mom has an agent/spokesperson, and now it is very difficult to get in touch with the family.

The reporter also says mom is losing that "glimmer of hope" since LE has searched the entire area, and the area south of Myrtle Beach.

She is got to be wore down physically & mentally. Its probably a good idea for her to have a family spokesperson.

I am sure she is about ready to fall apart I would be..and hope some dont start saying she does not care and hired someone to talk for her alot of times they will do it for free or it is someone close to the family..agent/spokesperson? did they say a spokesperson or agent..thanks julie for the news

[aproudmom]

ITA I knew in about a week she would start to fall apart she has kept busy and it is over a week and nothing yet..so I am sure she is worried and the stats most know and I am sure she is aware of them..

Mom of Missing New York Teen: 'She May Not Be Alive'

The way I understand the cell phone pings is that they don't ping unless the phone is turned on- except I think the new ones with GPS does even if their off. So if the information is true that the BF said her phone was off when he tried call her after she did not return his reply text then one of two things had to of occurred. Either she purposely did not answer his call and took off somewhere or someone got her phone from her. It is possible someone or her deliberately turned it on there in Georgetown to mislead police for a wild goose chase. Surly that has occurred to them.

[Leanne Weich]

Me too but like his dream better than what I think happened. Dont know if he has ever been right but hope this time he is.

I haven't read to the end of this thread yet so hope this post is not redundant. I found Brian's website many years ago and systematically went through each missing person he was following. Shaun Hornbeck's story intrigued me - long before he was found. All the information (if it is still available) that Brian posted about Shaun was spot on. When he was found and I went back and reread everything, I was astounded. I'm hoping and praying he's right about Britt too.

I have wondered the same I go more towards someone else turned it on these days we have so much information with all these CSI shows and knowing the pings can place someone in the area I often wonder if criminals are not learning what to do to try not to get caught..jmo

Let me make it very clear that I am NOT promoting remote viewing or anything else mentioned here. However, if you are curious to know more, the government/CIA experimented with remote viewing. If you are interested in learning more about what it is and how it works, trying googling it to see what the gov did with it.

[aproudmom]

so all we do know is she arrived at the boys hotel at 7:55 57sec
http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/0,4644,7158,00.html#7_0

and left at 8:13pm with red flip flops in her hand according to one guy..
pretty much sounds like she just went to get her flip flops or someone else's that maybe she borrowed she had been with them at 11am on Saturday at the beach..first it was shorts and then they see her leaving with red flip flops and only stayed for about 15minutes..have we even heard of the shorts since the start of this..maybe that is why Pete was thought to be changing stories..just over little things that made it look like his story was not the same..

http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/0,4644,7158,00.html#8_0
what time does it get dark there now..I can not believe they do not have her on videos anywhere else..almost all places have cameras these days..

Well first I heard it was shorts, then AMW site says a dress and now it's flip flops, I have a real problem with the whole borrowing story.
This girl is in MB and it is a Friday night she at 7 something plans to walk or shuttle 20 blocks to visit boys she barley knew by herself and then stays 15 minuets to go back 20 blocks to give the girl what ever it was she borrowed. If whatever she borrowed was left wherever the morning before and that is why she went there to get them, why didn't one of the girls drive her there?
Just thinking out loud.

WBTW -TV 6:00 News

A couple of new things

1) new video release of BD walking on Ocean Blvd
2) They gave a list of the places they think she went through - my guess they know this from cell phone pings (MOO) - one was Surfside Beach

The isn't on the website yet but when it is it will be on SCNOW.com

I have to leave for awhile so won't be able to post the link.

[FindtheLost]

Interesting on the video. You have to scroll all the way down .Video on the right. It says that CUE Center is now involved in the search which is great news. They found Alice Donovan bones. She was missing for many years.

I think that video is from a few days ago. The new video also said that a group was coming in from Texas to aid in the search. I'm not sure the name of the Texas group.

[CJSMOMMY]

30-45 min every night of the A's is a bit too much. I wish she would use some of that time for other missing persons that their family would love some air time. We already know what happened to Caylee & the perp is sitting in jail. Time to move on.
I hope she discusses Brittanee's case tonight.

Omgosh I soooooo agree!!!

[clemsongal]

I am from SC, and I am very familiar with the entire area. You would definitely have to travel through Surfside Beach to get to the area that the pings were detected. I keep going back and forth, but this to me points to a stranger abduction who is familiar with the area. The teenagers' actions have been suspicious to say the least, but I just don't think that they would be familiar with the area. They wouldn't go near Georgetown to go back to NY via I-95. They would go through Conway to get on I-95, and the stretch that leads to I-95 is very rural once you get out of Conway. I just don't think that the teenagers would have gone to the Georgetown area if they had done something to Brittannee. It just doesn't make sense to me.

It seemed like some people weren't quite sure what it was all about so I offered my two cents. I wasn't answering anyone specifically. Just thought I'd throw it out there for those who were curious to know more. As an educator, that's what I do! ;)

ok that totally confused me..lol..so there is no way her phone pinged there from MB right? and the last ping was on Sunday? so they would have followed her pings to that area/tower is from what I am getting..and if they got that information then they had to be able to see what her texting was and the times..IIRC like they did CA or do they have to have the actual phone to get the data off of the phone..and we still could have someone else with that phone trying to through them off..aww

They dont need her phone. They can get everything, her text pics and list of incoming and outgoing calls. I think they just have to subpoena them from the phone company.

[playnice]

Anyone locally can explain those pings? I dont have a link because I read several news stories over the weekend but IIRC her last ping was around midnight so that would have been sunday but just about 3 hrs after she left the hotel.

I have to believe it's TES. Kudos to them for helping in the search.


What's puzzling me the most after watching and listening to the video is that Brittanee was alone on the Saturday leading up to her disappearance. Why? Why wasn't she with her friends? Again, I asked this earlier, why did she go to the boys hotel alone? Where were her friends? Why did the friends move to another hotel? Did Brittanee know?

Still so many questions. :sad:

[~jomomma~]

Does anyone know where BD might have been going based on the location of the pings? In other words, was that location on the way to somewhere for her?

i have no clue.

i just wonder if she could've started walking back on the beach instead of street side. i'm sure there are alot of outdoor bars, etc. that she could've been invited to. people can just sit out there watching people walking by. i'm sure someone walking by themselves like Brit was catches their attention. i just have a feeling that's what happened, she had a drink, who knows, possibly drugged? and took a ride....heading south maybe thinking she was being taken back to her place. :sad:

Im not familar with the area but if she left heading North was there a club that way that kids hang out? Maybe she went there first and met up with someone?

i have even more!

was it going to be their last night there?
were they all going out and Brittanee wasn't going with them? maybe she didn't have the money? maybe she'd hang by herself?

that is a long walk from one hotel to the other! if that's her in the one new video we're seeing, she obviously walked street side to Blue Water Resort (the guys place). i just wonder if she maybe took beach side on the way back.

this is making me crazy. i wish they'd find her :sad:

Yes seems like I read that video was before the Hotel video, so I guess it is close by one of the Hotels ???

[playnice]

But they must not have seen her walking back so maybe she was grabbed by the hotel.

[~jomomma~]

unless she walked the beach instead

(which is what i would've done but that doesn't matter)

i'm sure there's tiki type bars, etc....along the beach side

Just had to respond to this (catching up), I am surprised he hasn't sailed in there, ok now hush. It would be good if TES would search there but to me it is such a large area of places she could be.

[~jomomma~]

Yes seems like I read that video was before the Hotel video, so I guess it is close by one of the Hotels ???

ok, i just listened to it again. they said it was near 11th Ave. South.

i need to look at a map again to see where that comes in.

If that is BD walking before the hotel video, shouldn't they have video of her coming as well as going?

http://myrtlebeachsnowbirder.com/bigmap.htm

so, if i'm correct, by this map (you can just put your cursor on one of the dots and it gives you the address) it looks like Bar Harbor is just north of 3rd Ave. North and Blue Water Resort is inbetween 19th and
22nd Ave. South

here's another look

i'd say she was about 1/2 way there?

She couldnt have harmed herself. The cell pings prove that. she was with someone with wheels either as a runaway (which I do not think) or a victim of foul play.

This is the ONE friend I have seen who does seem to be worried about her..and put me in tears just seeing her smiling and then looked and her white flip flops next to her..I just wonder if she is the one that ask her to go since they are in a lot of pics together and she did seem concerned more than others..

I agree with you completely. I believe that if she has been harmed that it is at the hands of another and not by her own.

[aproudmom]

I can see why she is upset over the divorce since he adopted her when she was young..

Chad Drexel considers himself a strict dad. So when his oldest daughter Brittanee asked if she could go to South Carolina he said no. Chad adopted her when she was a little girl.

Chad and Brittanee's mom Dawn are getting a divorce so he hasn't been living with his daughter. His last contact with her was a text message he sent last Tuesday. He wrote: “If you have any issues Daddy is here for you. You know this. I love you very much.”

Brittanee wrote back "I know. Love and miss you too."

The next day she took off to Myrtle Beach.:sad:

Sounds like she was well loved by Chad.

Well what I was wondering is about the Marine (the other John guy), this is her Mom's boyfriend, I think I read that somewhere? I know he is stationed somewhere not far from there but I wonder how far? Also wondering if their was any truth to what I read yesterday about the Mom being out of town when BD was in MB. Too many questions and not enough facts.

[Sunshine1]

I wonder if it is possible for them to know how much battery life her phone would have. In other words, how long can her phone be on before it goes dead completely? Just from what I have been reading, sounds like BD cell phone is completely dead at this point. Is it possible for them to look into the timing of the life of the cell phone vs. the time of the last ping? That probably makes no sense to anyone, but just thought I would put it out there anyway,

I dont know. If it were thrown in water I think it would go dead instantly.

[lune3]

Does anyone know if they were still searching that Georgetown County area around the river today? There were conflicting reports. One said they were done yesterday, and another said they were going to use "new techniques" and continue searching today. It's dark there now, any reports or updates?

[kelloggirl]

I am from SC, and I am very familiar with the entire area. You would definitely have to travel through Surfside Beach to get to the area that the pings were detected. I keep going back and forth, but this to me points to a stranger abduction who is familiar with the area. The teenagers' actions have been suspicious to say the least, but I just don't think that they would be familiar with the area. They wouldn't go near Georgetown to go back to NY via I-95. They would go through Conway to get on I-95, and the stretch that leads to I-95 is very rural once you get out of Conway. I just don't think that the teenagers would have gone to the Georgetown area if they had done something to Brittannee. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Clemsongal, I agree with you. Video and other clues point strongly towards Brittanee disappearing on the walk back to the hotel. Great info on the knowledge of the area. I think the perp got rid of her cellphone/purse on that drive near where the phone was pinging. What is the next medium/large city you would hit after going through the Georgetown area?

As far as the shorts borrowing, my theory is that Brittanee borrowed them without permission. Then the girls were probably all getting ready for their night out, when the owner of the shorts wanted to wear them and couldn't find the shorts. Hence the "Get back here now with my shorts" message. When Britannee didn't come back within a certain period of time, they probably figured that Britanee blew off the girls request and she wore something else, so they were not concerned, they were probably more mad than anything. They probably went out that night (it was a Saturday night) and then didn't realize Britannee never came back until they came back from partying, and that's when they called her boyfriend.

Of course, surveillance video at the girl's hotel better be triple-checked to make sure that she did, in fact not make it back there.

[playnice]

I think she was abducted shortly after leaving the hotel. It she went north first that could be where the perp lives and took her. Then he went south away from the area to dispose of her. I wish we had times on these pings. It may give an idea how long she was in a certain place.

[Sunshine1]

I dont know. If it were thrown in water I think it would go dead instantly.

That is definitely true. The news reports that the authorities are focusing on the last cell phone signal from BD's phone to conduct in the searching of certain areas. I cannot help but wonder what area her friends were in at that time compared to the location of the BD's last cell phone signal location?

[aproudmom]

I agree with you completely. I believe that if she has been harmed that it is at the hands of another and not by her own.

I think she was going through a lot with the divorce and stuff but I really feel she had not planned to go to MB and harm herself and I am glad LE has taken this serious and seems to be doing a wonderful job in searching for her..so many cases I have seen them just say O well they will show up and they end up dead or still missing after many many years

Thank you so much it is a lot easier when someone knows the area..it seems kinda remote were they was searching or maybe it was just in one area cause I noticed all the dust from the 4-wheelers when going down a path or dirt road..

I sure would hope they have checked their hotel also..since they are putting out these others I am guessing they did and she did not ever even make it back to the hotel..seen a couple girls had been attacked in elevators there but if she made it back in the hotel she should have been on video..

No the 3 year old Amber Alert was a big portion then Casey

No coverage - it was mostly the 3-yr old boy kidnapped from San Bernardino, with a little Casey thrown in at the end for good measure.

[FindtheLost]

I would like to see LE get the cell records of all 20 of the friends that were at the beach. I'm still not satisfied that someone that was a "local friend" of Jen Oberer wasn't involved. Also from what we have read about the behavior from alot of the friends seems that they want to stay as far away from this as possible.

Whoever it was ( if she were abducted - and I'm praying not) they would need to know a little about the area. The direction of the phone ping is not in the direction of going back to NY.

[doctor_J]

It is a little surprising and shockingly irresponsible that these 20 yr. old, college-age kids were willing to take a hi-school JUNIOR with them on Spring Break. Much less if they actually participated in the deception.Then after getting there, they apparently make no effort to chaperone or even "buddy" her. Then this Jen O.(was she the driver?) returns and posts these pics like nothing happened. They continue to carry on with their provocative FB remarks even now. Remarkably insensitive, to say the least. I believe it was criminal.

[playnice]

Probably the only thing they are guilty of is being self absorbed.
I thought Natalee Holloways friends acted the same way.
It seems like something like this would grow them up real quick but it doesnt seem to bother them. Life goes on.

[doctor_J]

My experience with my own college age son is that his group of friends take extreme caution when socializing not to associate with anyone under 18. It's not easy either. Many young girls try to pass themselves off as 21 and with makeup and push-up bras, etc. the guys in his circle have to network to make sure girls are not "jail-bait" before they go out.

This particular group gave it no thought at all, apparently.

[aproudmom]

is this BD B/F such a pretty young girl....I am taking that it is since it is the same name as her B/F

I have told my boys stay away from younger girls when your 18 and they are younger it happened to my cousin he got 5yrs for being with a 15 almost 16yr old when they split her parents pressed charges..they sent 2 young boys to the slammer..she is married to the second one now and has a kid..but he paid for what he did even though he at that age thought it was just him and his g/f getting it on...he will pay for the rest of his life...So Tell your boys to be very careful any girls that go out or hang out with my 19yr old my first question is how old are you and then who are your parents so I can call them...lol..

in that case, there were some that wanted to stay. i think if it weren't for having to travel by plane, being out of the country, etc....they would have? the chaparone told them they needed to leave.

were all of these kids in college? we don't seem to hear anything about any of them. i don't know why. that bugs me.

i agree that these kids shouldn't have allowed Brittanee to go. i'm sure tho that in Brittanee's eyes, it was the most awesome thing to do....go with older kids.

i'm not getting a good feeling about this...at all.

a couple of couples that i know were in Surfside at the same time. i should get hold of them and see if they even know there is a missing person.

[Ice Cycle]

I know this is not the way it has been stated but I wonder if the argument she had with the girls did not happen BEFORE she left that hotel to go to the boys hotel. The reason is I just can't believe that she would of not been planning to go out with them that night. I just wonder if she just was mad and left which would explain why she decided to go to the boys hotel, for something to do and why they did not drive her there.

I hope this teaches all these kids to be more careful and to watch out for each other....

ok so where is this time frame coming from

Detectives ask that people who were in the areas between 11th Avenue South and 20th Avenue South along Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach between 8:45 and 9:15 p.m. April 25 call the Myrtle Beach Police Department at 918-1382 if they saw anything

she left the boys hotel at 7:55 right? text b/f around 8 but also heard he text her at 9:15 and she did not text back..so is that why they are asking about those times...

[aproudmom]

Well on this video they say they have talked to everyone she went there with..so guess they feel they have not did anything wrong...who is the person running this facebook does anyone know..is it a good friend? I find it very odd they would leave comments about that twisted minded blogger on there can you not delete someones post...

I hate getting bored I google to much this is the first I have heard her father was in the service and they had to move alot...perhaps I missed some of this..

Chad tells AMW that he and Dawn are holding out hope that Brittanee will return home safely. He says his military carer has meant they must move and travel often, so Brittanee is very resourceful.

Cops say the night Brittanee disappeared she borrowed a teal, purple and black spaghetti strap dress from a friend and was wearing it when she left the motel.:confused:

Who owned the account through which BD was using her phone? Usually it's on a family plan owned by the parent. A minor cannot sign a contract.

Phone usage can be tracked online.

does it have to be set up for detailed billing prior? I know my sister has all ours under her family plan but she cant see what calls I make just the minutes each month

From what her step-father said about BD being a wild child did not sound as though any promiscuousness would have started in MB.

O crap cant even remember what he said..lol..I never heard him say she drank or did drugs he said when she got something in her head she would not take no for a answer or something like that but he said she was a good kid..I am sure she did things they did not know about we all know teens can be sneaky..she seemed to really be close to her siblings and looked out for them and loved soccer..

Why did Peter Brozowitz need to give a DNA sample?:confused:

When he was considered a POI early on, he offered to give his DNA so they can rule him out as a suspect. I guess he did what he said he would do.

Good morning. Maybe today will be the day Brittanee is found.

[iluvmua]

Are they looking for a body?

[playnice]

They havent officially said that but the searches seem to point that way since they are focused on the river area where her phone last pinged.

So very true. When kids disappear right out of their bed like Jessica Lunsford , Elizabeth Smart and many others there is no thing as security.

This could have happened a block from her home instead of MB.

[iluvmua]

Was it dark outside around the last time Brittanee was seen? Didn't she leave around 8:45 that night to walk back to her hotel?

[playnice]

What could have happened?

Since they captured her on video walking to the hotel and coming out of it( unless they have more they havent released showing her walking back) I dont think she made it far from the hotel before someone grabbed her. Unless someone offered her a ride and she accepted.
That is the only 2 things I can think of.

Missing Teen on Two Search Sites; Friends Warn of Dangers
www.13wham.com

Scroll down for news report
**Snipped**

“…Her friend Jennifer Murray said, "We've been trying not to think, just hope..."

They're also hoping to raise awareness among their peers.

Murray said, "We want girls to realize this is serious. You can't just go out with anyone. You need to be careful who you hang out with, and what you do."

"I want people to realize you cannot trust everyone," said another friend Casey Capo. "It’s not OK just to go out on your own."

Brittanee told her mom she was staying with a friend in town and then sneaked off to Myrtle Beach with a group her father describes as older and more like acquaintances than actual friends….”

[playnice]

Are Murray & Capo friends of hers that weren't on the trip?

[Worrywart]

I have been reading these and other threads for such a long time but this case for some reason has me scared out of my mind.

I am wondering if there is more surveillance footage that shows her getting into a vehicle? Also wondering if she had any contact via computer with any people she was venting to online and decided to meet up with? It happens all the time these days with vulnerable young women.

I don't understand a couple things: Why is she not tagged in the FB albums with her "Friends", why are the comments not at all concerned for her? Have these people all been talked to...I noticed in one comment that a young man says with all the **** that went down there they made the best of it?.....wha? That doesn't sound empathetic at all. I would be mad like Chad also.....

Her father says she is resourceful but no contact via cellphone for kids these days lead me to believe she is in a place we all do not want to think of. I can't go to the playground without seeing kids on phones, talking or texting. It is as part of them as their clothes nowadays.

Thanks to all of you for helping me to stay in the loop. I hope and pray this girl just ran away........

[playnice]

Worrywart Welcome.
I hope LE has video that we dont know about yet.
I would love to know the time between the pings after she left the hotel. It may pinpoint an area where she was taken that could be where the perp lives.

So these were her real friends.

[Worrywart]

I can remember a spring break trip I took with 12 other girls while in college. They were not close friends but we all went together since it was cheaper per hotel room for us to all go in it together. We are posing in all kinds of pics together but the real story was 10 of them went one way and myself and another friend who weren't into drinking were off on our own and would occasionally meet up with the others. The pics didn't tell the whole story. I think the same here.....but Brittanee didn't have the luck of having a close friend to be by her side.

I hope they get more footage from a business of a potential perp in a car or just a person (i.e. Kelsey Smith).....that would help someone identify the person.


I believe they will continue to release videos they are collecting as they are deemed unimportant.....the video just released isn't really relevant seeing as though it is before she enters the hotel. I'd like to see the same view (if same direction) from this camera after she has left the hotel.

[CANDYKISSES]

Is myrtle beach truly as unsafe as people are saying it is? I thought it was for families? Would you ever vacation there?

I don't think people immediately go to the words "imminent danger" when Myrtle Beach is brought up for Spring Break, but that's JMO. My aunt and uncle just returned with my cousin and two of her friends, but they insisted on going along and letting the girls stay in the condo the parents own. My A&U own the condo next door to their son's place. I talked to my aunt yesterday and she said it was nothing like Daytona Beach during Spring Break. :w00t:

That said, anywhere teens are gathering for the beach, good times and a celebration represents a need for planning, FRIENDS UNITING IN THE BUDDY SYSTEM and STANDING BY IT IMOO. The drugs and under age drinking will present a problem for young people in general. JMO and I continue to hope this has a positive outcome. :unsure:

[CANDYKISSES]

I can remember a spring break trip I took with 12 other girls while in college. They were not close friends but we all went together since it was cheaper per hotel room for us to all go in it together. We are posing in all kinds of pics together but the real story was 10 of them went one way and myself and another friend who weren't into drinking were off on our own and would occasionally meet up with the others. The pics didn't tell the whole story. I think the same here.....but Brittanee didn't have the luck of having a close friend to be by her side.

I hope they get more footage from a business of a potential perp in a car or just a person (i.e. Kelsey Smith).....that would help someone identify the person.


I believe they will continue to release videos they are collecting as they are deemed unimportant.....the video just released isn't really relevant seeing as though it is before she enters the hotel. I'd like to see the same view (if same direction) from this camera after she has left the hotel.

I too am hoping some video footage will be uncovered telling more. Maybe someone hasn't even realized they have a photo or footage of her and will pick it up through cable or MSM if they continue to get her face out there. JMO:thumbup:

N.Y. teen's family stays hopeful, investigation still on


**Snipped**

“..Carol Wagner took a few minutes Monday to speak to a business that is making her granddaughter's dress for the junior prom at Gates-Chili High School in Rochester, N.Y., on Saturday.

"It was for a fitting appointment for the dress," Wagner said from her hotel room in Myrtle Beach. "It's just, if we do find her, she'll be able to go to the prom. We bought everything for her. It's just ... you never think this would happen to your family."..”

New video in search for missing NY teen

So, does this same camera catch Brittanee walking back toward her hotel just a while later?

[Worrywart]

I realize her mom says she has never done anything like this before but it might be possible that she has but has never been caught or been missing before.....

There has to be some key evidence from surveillance tapes on what happened, big brother is always watching and someone always sees something......they have to find this poor girl.

Yeah, I'm hoping they have more videos but are not releasing the info.
yet.

[Worrywart]

I would like someone to ask her family would she get into a persons car if she did not know them. I think she new this person maybe from that adults bar she was in with Peter.

This reminds me of NH case so much. I'm sure they'll be questioning those she was with in the bars, someone has to remember her meeting/talking to some people if this is the case. NH's mom didn't think she would be the type to leave with someone she just met either.....

I have hope they are looking at all videotapes and will slowly release some more and more....they may not want the perp driving or who snatched her off the street to know they are on to him/them yet....I am hoping:sad:

Hello All,

For some reason I can't get this to play, is this the same one that was posted yesterday? Though it was said somewhere that the one posted yesterday was before she got to the boys hotel room, this article says 8:15 so I take it this is after she left there?

[royals02]

I don't know about you guys...and I know this sounds really really creepy, but with all these kids that go missing...IF I were of childbearing years I would not hesitate to have GPS implanted in my child. If its just one more thing that I could do to protect my child, I surely would not hesitate. I mean just with the stories that have made headlines lately...Caylee, Haleigh, Brittanee, Sandra, now the little boy in California...
People implant GPS in their animals....why not the kids too?
Just my opinion

I don't think it's creepy at all, royals. I would do it in a minute. I'm thinking about it with my grad student son, (and he's 26, lol). But when he was going thru all that teen-age rebellion, growing up stuff, OMG!!!

I have thought about that since my kids were little.

If there were such a thing, we'd be finding these kids right away.

[~jomomma~]

At least the kids in this case are speaking to the investigators. They did not in the NH case.

i disagree. they interviewed with the FBI, did they not? and whoever else they needed to.

i don't think we've heard anything in this case (from the kids) compared to the NH case

That's funny doc....I know I threw the idea out there on a serious note..but imagine also during those teen years and wondering what your kid might be up to...and being able to tell in a heartbeat just where they are....guess that would put an end to a teenager telling you that they are going to point A but really going to point B. :thumbsup:

Well I don't know about the NH case as I did not keep up with it but I do agree on this one it appears they have said very little at least it has not been reported and of course they have to answer LE questions.

[Worrywart]

Has it been on yet?

On now, BF said she called him and was miserable and not getting along with her friends. Would not runaway or harm herself. He said not necessarily that Peter guy is responsible but someone does know the story and is protecting themselves and he just wants them to come forward and help the family.

Interesting, most information I've heard yet. Didn't realize she was miserable and not getting along with her friends.

Said he was not made aware of this group of guys she visited, said she wouldn't have told him because he did not necessarily like those guys she was friends with. He told her to go out her last night there and try to enjoy herself although not getting along with her friends.

It is what I have thought all along, as didn't make any sense her leaving their that night to go to boys hotel instead of going out with them or at least they not driving her there.

[doctor_J]

John Greico on Fox phone interview just now said his last text from BD was about her having a miserable time and not getting along with the people she went with to MB. She ccouldn't wait to get home. He said he told her to go out and have fun on her last night. Been dating 21/2 yrs (that starting at 14, yikes!).

Fox still talking about suspiciousness of Peter B. leaving $100 and cutting out at 1 am.
They're behind the news,obviously but Peter B. seems to have gotten an undeserved bad rap. How did the boys even know she was missing at the time they left if it was 1 am? I would think she was just out partying late. Maybe it was the lack of texting and calls that caused them to recognize something was wrong. These kids stay hooked in with their phones constantly. Other than that, I wouldn't have expected her back to the hotel before 2 or 3 am. But, she was mad with the girls and had just gotten mostly ignored by the guys, so I might have thought she was just pouting for a while..

[lune3]

Yes, same here.
Brittannee was very vulnerable. Not a good place to be and all the more susceptible to setting herself up to be a victim. She may have dreaded going back to the girls' hotel and facing that group, may have stopped in a bar, met someone who came across as "friendly", or she had been more open to accepting a ride in her unhappy state.

I feel so sorry for her.

Good call...Do we know who contacted the mother and boyfriend? Was it the girls she was with and when was that in the timeline? Did one of the girls call Peter and the boys to ask if BD was coming back and they realized she had left and wasn't there? Does anyone have any confirmed information besides the video?
Can anyone supply the times of the following when these events occurred:
Text to Boyfriend
Walking into boys hotel
Exiting boys hotel
Walking South on Ocean Boulevard (Do not know if this is before or after exiting boys hotel)
Boyfriend called to let him know she is missing
Mother called
Friend from Camp Lejune that drove up to investigate

Thanks for that update. I knew there was something not right with the girls relationship. Brittanee off on her own made no sense to me.

I'm even more pissed now that these so called "friends" obviously didn't give a darn about her. She is 17 years old! They should've known better than to let a 17 year old girl off on her own! :cursing:

Yes it probably was not what she expected. I did not see his interview but would of like to of known if she ask him for $ to get home on as sounds like she would of not wanted to drive back home with them.

But, she was mad with the girls and had just gotten mostly ignored by the guys, so I might have thought she was just pouting for a while..

I agree on the undeserved bad rap Peter B. is getting. She left their hotel, unharmed, as documented on the video. She was walking back to the girls' hotel. I find the girls much more suspicious, especially since it appears there was discord. For the boys to have been involved, they would've had to 1)make plans to meet up with her later or 2)one of the boys left the room alone with his car and gave her a ride.

In the case of 1)she would've made it back to the hotel and then gone out again. Video would confirm/deny this. In this case, the girls are lying. Why?

In the case of 2), one of the boys would've have proved/disproved Peter's alibi by now, I think. Why wouldn't he have given her a ride in the first place? I think it would be highly unlikely that any of these guys, who were probably partying and having fun, would've been so thoughtful as to suffer an attack of chivalry after Brittanee left the hotel and decided to go and find her so they could give her a ride.

I strongly believe that she was lured into a car by a stranger on the walk back. Maybe she had a few drinks at the boys' hotel room, she was miserable, upset that she wasn't having a great time and maybe was having fun with the boys and then had to go back because one of these girls was mad at her, and feeling depressed and careless. I speak from experience at how easy it is to be reckless in that state, and I won't go into too many details, but at my rock bottom in my depression, I took some unbeliveably stupid chances. I just really didn't care what happened to me. I thank my lucky stars no one took advantage of me in that state. My heart aches for Brittanee and her family.

[Worrywart]

He was on the phone with Trace Gallagher and John Lucich (Former PI).....

After the phone call John said that Peter messed up the situation by leaving the night a girl disappeared and lawyered up as soon as he got home. He also said although BD's mom said Peter is cleared that the police have not spoken about his clearance and will be investigating the timeline.

[Worrywart]

Kellogggirl...I know exactly what you mean. High school can be cruel enough but to be in a different state with people who may or may not be your friends can leave you very vulnerable. Who knows what happened. BD could have gone to see these boys and one of the girls she was with was PO'd because she went there and she liked him....so this girl calls BD and tells her to come back to the room and return her shorts...yada yada yada.....I think the girls she was traveling with need to speak out/to authorities. You know how catty young woman, heck any woman can be in regards to boys/men. I sure hope BD wasn't crying and upset and some perp picked up on it and gave her the sense he/she was a friend and used her vulnerability against her. Poor girl would never stand a chance.

[lune3]

Wasn't Peter with those other guys that night? If he had been separated from his guy friends for any period during that Sat/Sun night, then I can see he could be suspected. Wouldn't LE have established his alibi by now? And didn't he return home WITH the other guys?

what about a taxi? maybe driver off duty saw her and told her he would take her where ever she needed to go? or heck maybe an on duty driver. just a thought

[playnice]

She probably went to the boys hoping to hang out and they didnt want her there. She didnt want to go back to the hotel because the girls were being mean to her. Wow. That really left her vulnerable. Someone that seemed nice to befriend her left her open prey.

[~jomomma~]

how sad :sad:

i did notice in one of the pics posted on the girls FB page, Brittanee was in the back of everyone...like not really part of the pic.

i can't view pics from here but if someone can find it...

i felt sorry for her when i first saw that pic :sad:

[doctor_J]

I think when she left the girl's hotel she was angry and hurt. She went to a lot of trouble to walk 20 blocks to the guys room, who she barely knew. Probably hoped to be a big hit there with her being very pretty and sexy. Kind of get even with the girls that way. Bummer, turns out a big bunch of guys were into a ballgame. She probably was thinking things couln't get any worse Very vulnerable..

which really bothers me cuz i feel she walked the beach after she left Blue Water Resort and got offered a drink/conversation.

she could've been drugged or just got drunk and well............

Pretty awful situation to be in. 16 hours from home, having expected a fun time, having disobeyed her parents and knowing they didn't know she was so far away, walking alone for blocks on that boulevard anxious and miserable...
What would a lonely 17 year old do? A place teeming with people checking out girls, it's to be expected some guy would approach her. And she'd bite, needed a "friendly" face. Ugh

Well what I am wondering since that video on Ocean Beach is showing her going to the boys hotel, why isn't their one showing her coming back, unless she took another way.

Ive never understood why just Peter has been singled out either when there was 4 boys in that room. The only thing I can think of he was the one with wheels.

The hotel surveillance video shows Britt both coming to and leaving the hotel; alone. It corresponds with and helps to verify Peter B testimony.

She took another way back.

Sorry Ice Cycle I misread your post. I thought you were referring to the hotel video not the one from the street.

The most logical explanations why she would not be spotted coming back to her hotel would be that she was taking a different route possible on the other side of the street, or maybe she went down to the beach and was planning on walking back that way.

It seems to me that the most important text message is the one where Britt says she is going to another friend’s room.

“She sent a text message to one of her friends around 9:15 p.m. and said she was going to see another friend who was staying at another hotel.”

It can’t be Peter B’s because she had already come and gone from there. She would not refer to the room she was sharing with the people she came down with that way, so who is this other friend and do the people she came down to MB with know this person's name?

Maybe the term "friend" was used lightly. Maybe she met this guy earlier, in a bar wherever on the Saturday, and who "invited" her to come to his hotel room later..."just send me a text blah blah", so she took him up on that since she was dreading seeing her so called group of friends. The night was still early, she could hang out with this "new friend" for a couple of hours. After all she had nowhere else fun to go and this was her last night.
