The Disturbing Brittanee Drexel Affair

Brittanee Drexel ran away on spring break to South Carolina, without telling her parents. She disappeared right off the streets, and the investigation would spin a hundred different ways with dozens of suspects. It would remain unsolved for over a decade, until it all came back to a vile monster hiding in plain sight.

Her boyfriend deserves so much credit for immediately sensing something was wrong and telling her mom

[@Ms2cents]

Well, if he was being a good responsible boyfriend, he wouldn’t have to convince her to lie to her parents to somewhere they are not suppose to be. Look at what happened. I’m not saying she deserved what happened to her but this guy will have to live the rest of his life feeling guilty that if he not persuaded her to go and lie, she would be alive right now. That’s a burden on his conscience even if it was unintentional on his part. Who could’ve known that this would happen to her or anyone. My female bestfriend from college who used to be a police officer told me to always be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to people around you especially when you’re out and about. She said to me, “As an officer, I look at you and the general population as the lamb and the criminals as the wolves. These wolves can prey on the lambs and even kill them at any given time and it’s our job to protect the innocents.” She further said chillingly, “Think about it this way, there are murderers, serial killers walking amongst us, interacting with us, they can even be our neighbors, friends, coworkers or whatever and you don’t know it because these people are good at covering their tracts and they act like everything is normal because they are incapable of feeling empathy. That is why they are able to kill without hesitation. They don’t exhibit fear or a lot of different emotions but what they can express is anger and feeling of adrenaline rush whenever they kill.” That’s why it’s always important to have the “talk” with your kids as asap on safety and suspicious behaviors to look for in adults and never to approach a stranger’s car unless it’s your family members or someone your parents fully trust to pick you up. There’s always a way you can discuss it with your kids to help them understand it without scaring them. I wished my parents had done this for me because there was 3 incidents I can remember where I almost got kidnapped and once where I almost got molested by a teen boy who was a neighbor. Luckily for me, I am smart enough to know even as a little girl when something is not right. I’ve always listened to my instincts. My parents never put restrictions on what stuff I watch on tv so I was exposed to criminal activities reported on the news and also watched a lot of tv shows with mature content. As a kid I liked watching a lot of cop shows or detective shows, stuff that deals with investigations, tv shows about wars, racism, slavery, even historical events and documentaries. I was a very curious child and pestered all my siblings and parents with questions 24/7 to the point that they stop answering after a while but you get the point. Don’t get me wrong, at least my parents taught me right from wrong even if it’s indirectly and also by storytelling and I’ve always understood what they are trying to teach me or message they are trying to convey. Each kid is different depending on their grasp of learning . Sorry this is along one. I do feel bad for the boyfriend for what he must’ve have gone through emotionally, her family not having answers for over a decade and the Taylors who were harassed because one of their own was wrongly accused. The killer has been free for a long time before he went to prison again for rape and battery of a minor. Who knows how many victims he had and of those victims, how many did he killed? It took him this long to admit to this murder and he only did so because evidence is piling up on him otherwise he wouldn’t have confessed. How many families did he destroyed with all the crimes he committed in secret just to feed his sadistic appetite? We might never know. This girl didn’t deserved to die a violent death. No one does but you can’t predict the future let alone how you’re going to die.

White males do the lion's share of predation on young children, look it up. Fact is; the cases that are widely heavily publicized in our country ususally are cases where a person of color committed a crime, jeezI wonder what issue is causing that to happen ??

Criminals have free reign over the streets. These criminals come from all races also. Certain groups are committing violent crimes at an alarming rate...that is a fact. Irresponsible breeding with lack of parents that care make this cycle repeat generation after generation. Kids are ignorant, foul mouthed, bored, and less intelligent today than in the past yet people keep having them. It's our land, air, and water along with diet being tainted with chemicals and all the poison in the products we use everyday. Think deodorant under your arms. Look at the chemicals in the back. Look up BPH, Philates, or what a bad diet for a child does to their development. Those that live in poverty need to understand this and avoid repeating the cycle. Taylor was the getaway driver in a crime and he has a missing arm. Easily identifiable so taking part in criminal activity makes him a fool. Suspect has one arm narrows down your suspect pool. The Taylor family are not perfect just like the rest of us but it is obvious that law enforcement knows of them...

I’m very concerned about the fact the her dad’s idea of “the military in me” being that it’s ok to kidnap and rape people you’ve got an issue with. I could kind of understand it if he’d said “as a father,” although nobody should really feel that way, but qualifying it as something he endorses as a member of the military…Someone needs to check his service record and make sure there’s nothing along the lines of My Lai there.

[@southcoast80]

To be fair, it wasn't like he was saying do that specific thing to people you have an issue with, it was an eye for an eye sentiment. Not saying I agree, but its not like he was advocating for kidnapping and assaulting someone who cuts you off in traffic is it

[@themudpit621]

'got an issue with' ??? "GOT AN ISSUE WITH" ????????? He was being lied to by the feds, given fake evidence "proving" the kid had brutally murdered his daughter, and to you that's 'an issue with'? He wasn't mad the kid had cut him off in traffic or cheated on a maths test ffs.

agreed, this was an extremely troubling comment. Must have also been "the military in him" that encouraged vigilantism against an innocent guy. That father suffered a tragedy, but there he sets off countless red flags himself.

I was around thirteen years old when the disappearance started being investigated near where I live in Rochester. I remember it being the first time I really connected to a missing person, because she wasn’t much older than I was then, and I remember thinking, “She probably isn’t okay.” And that was heartbreaking, because her parents on the news always seemed like the sweetest, most hopeful people. I also remember my parents following the case, probably because they saw so much of my brother and I in Brittanee. Rest in Peace, Sweet Angel.

[@ZombieSazza]

And dear parents; make sure your kids know you can phone them asking for help NO MATTER WHAT, if they are drunk and need picked up or something similar then help them. Talk to them about it later when sober, make them aware of the dangers, have a calm conversation, but make sure they know they can ask you for help and you won’t get angry when they need help.

As a former infantryman in the US Army, I want to make it clear that when the father said, "That's the military in me." That is NOT how we do things in the military and those are his own words, which are very wrong, and we are not bad. He should instead do what the military did teach him and take accountability for his words and his lies and publicly apologize to the Taylor family and offer to make some sort of restitution. May that poor young girl rest in peace. Good luck to the Taylor family, they're probably still hurting from all that negative attention they received. -Sincerely, A former 10th Mountain Division soldier and Afghan Campaign vet.

It's understandable when teens have a hard time make the best decision for a situation, but John really kept a level head and chose punishment over the thought of losing Brittanee. Really proud of him, he did what he could in the situation.

[@klhaldane]

It's a very mature decision for a teen to make, "this problem needs full on adult help".

[@gregorymeyer1798]

Kids/teens keep stories like this in mind when your parents tell you you can’t go somewhere at certain time or certain place. As much as you want to do something, sometimes your parents know better, and sadly like in this case Brittanee would likely still be alive if she had listened to her mother. Parents are trying to keep you safe, they don’t say no just to upset you.

[@jonny-b4954]

That's hell of a generalization. I'd argue more times than not it is unfounded over protectivness.

[@blackveilkirby]

No Brittanee would still be alive if this piece of shit was rotting in a cell after the first time. Let's not victim blame.

[@anamariaradu292]

sometimes it's just parents wanting to control kids or not having to worry about the kids when they don't allow them to go out. I've been in situations when I understood why I'm not allowed (older kids, going to an unknown location) but also in situations where I was not allowed to go to the movies with my brother without any reason. Parents should take time and discuss the risks in each case not simply say "no 'cause I say so"

[@BovineIntervention]

​@@anamariaradu292 funny how people are arguing against overprotectiveness in a case where a girl ran away and got r*ped and murdered. If there's any time being overprotective is good it's for this. I'd much rather lock a princess in a tower than have her get passed around in a saloon by some bandits and then eaten by a dragon but it doesn't have to be either extreme.

[@nottknormal]

​@@jonny-b4954 That's why op said," keep it in mind". Meaning that it's something people should think on and consider based on the circumstances you are in. Sometimes parents are really overprotective and tiger parents, which I understand, but sometimes they do have your best interest at heart and just want to keep you safe from being a victim of cases like this.

I've often wondered if Moody readily admitted to what he did and where they could find her body was because he had done other horrific unknown crimes in states that would have put him to death if he had gotten caught.
