News article from 2010

Whoever the person or persons are who made the decision to shift the focus of the investigation away from the Taylors and the 4 Persons of Interest messed it up badly. They’ve known what happened to Brittanee Drexel since 2010 and who was involved for 10 years but somehow the whole thing got misdirected at some point.
Was that incompetence or corruption? Or both.
I’d be very curious to hear an explanation for that stupid decision.
Drexel case heats up as persons of interest identified
Published Friday, April 09, 2010 - 7:25 PM
Investigators from three counties who have been working to find a missing New York teenager say they now have persons of interest in the case.
Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Neil Johnson said based on information that has been collected investigators feel Brittanee Drexel who was 17 years old when she disappeared from Myrtle Beach last year is no longer alive.
Johnson said investigators have “three and possibly four” persons of interest in the case. He said no other details about the persons of interest is being released at this time.
Johnson said there is no reason to believe the persons of interest knew Drexel directly.
He said lie detector tests have been administered to two of them.
Investigators from Horry and Charleston Counties are also involved in the case because Drexel’s last known whereabouts was at a Myrtle Beach hotel.
Signals from her cell phone were detected in the North Santee area along the Georgetown County - Charleston County border on April 26 of last year, one night after she went missing from Myrtle Beach. Several searches have been conducted in the North Santee area as well as in northern Charleston County for any evidence that may lead to Drexel.
Johnson said the case got hot in December when Georgetown County Investigator Chris Bailey received information about Drexel’s disappearance.

Johnson said the case got hot in December when Georgetown County Investigator Chris Bailey received information about Drexel’s disappearance.
It was in December that searchers found a pair of sunglasses near the river in North Santee.
“Everything we know is leading to this area,” Johnson said. “At this point, based on everything we know, we feel she is not alive.”
Johnson said the evidence continues to point to southern Georgetown County as the place something may have happened to Drexel. He said that is based on the amount of text messages she sent in the days before her disappearance.
“She was constantly on the phone texting. Then it all stopped when she went missing,”he said. “It was like someone took the phone.”

He said a private investigation service from Maine has been hired to help in the case because they have a lot of resources such as cadaver dogs to assist local authorities.
When asked if having persons of interest will lead to charges in the case, Johnson said that is not currently known.
“We could make an arrest next week or next year, we just do not know” he said.

It’s sick. If they had given Randell Taylor the chair for Shannon McConaughey Murder none of that would’ve happened. This is what happens when justice fails. I would even say Samantha Josephson wouldn’t have happened if the scumbags who took Brittanee were arrested and put away like the animals they are. It just keeps going. Who’s next ??
Remember 2 wrote Written Confessions against Randall Taylor. 2 of
his friends. Eli Johnson and Harry Rivers.
Brittanee Drexel would still be here if Prosecutors Both State and Federal
had done there jobs. DOJ should have stepped in when Chas. prosecutors
as always drop the ball. In Charleston Co. if your African American you
have a good chance of walking. Prosecutors will let you walk. Just ask
Randell Taylor …
Please write the DOJ, AG and the FBI HQ from below Link: Thank You

whoever pulled 3 detectives when they were close to making
arrest. 3 detectives from different 3 sheriffs offices pulled when
so close to solving this case ?? smh. only one that could have done
that was the feds. occurred in 2010 .. )
