Updated: 

Innocent people do not burn down Stash Houses.

 However, Timothy Shaun Taylor did. 

Because he's not innocent. 

Nor are several of his friends. 

 Bleach might not get all the Fibers, Blood, Semen,

DNA, etc.,  However, Fire will.  He couldn't chance it. 

One or two might roll. 


  ( when we were in law enforcement we called this a, "Clue" )

       ( apparently the feds missed this class .. )

Shaun Taylor set fire to a drug house to protect himself and others.
They kidnapped many of young girls and brought them here.
McClellanville, SC. The FBI had only street names of others involved.
Foot, Homie, Rooster, Skills, QB, Cruz, 40, etc. Trafficking Ring.
After a year went by, Shaun Taylor found out the FBI had all 7
real names, he immediately burned it to the ground. He knew 2 or
3 might roll. Listen to what he says. He hangs his own self by his words alone. ( 1:30 - 2:30 he's arguing with a lady about the other drug house, trespassing signs, Shaun is nervous and upset with her, he and the lady exchange heated words. then at the end from 4:40 till the end, shaun says." Damn I should have parked the Lexus over there, his son says move it now, Shaun replies, " that fire to hot for that now." )

Cruz
40
Foot
Skills
Qb
Rooster
Homie

Shaun knew some would snitch. Roll to save themselves.


**Many people do not buy the Raymond Moody story the Feds told.
# 1: in 2012 they told us Moody was in Jail and couldn't
have taken her.
# 2: Da'shaun Taylor told the FBI of 2 men in McClellanville arguing
over Brittanee Drexel Cellphone.
# 3: Countless other Witnesses gave statements bout the Taylors and
others Kidnapping girls.
# 4: Detectives had 4 names of who took Drexel. 2 Eyewitnesses gave
signed Statements and passed all polygraph test. Just like Brown did.
# 5: Sold her in Georgetown, North Charleston and McClellanville.
The FBI testified to the above.
# 6: Burning the Stash house to the ground with his face & voice on Video. - which he later deleted..
# 7: Shaun Taylor by his own hand, "Corroborated" everything
several other witnesses had told Detectives and the FBI.
# 8: Video of Arson, Obstruction of Justice, etc. Shaun Taylors

Why would Shaun burn a house to the ground if he was so innocent??
Then - delete the video after 30 minutes??!! Guilty .......

*More were involved.*

The FBI was so busy Removing Detectives off the Case instead of working
with the Detectives to solve it. Shameful. Dragged it out for 12 years for a reason.

Detectives had 4 names of who took Drexel. 2 Eyewitnesses gave signed
Statements and passed all polygraph test. Just like Brown did.
Detectives threatened with Arrest?! WTH. - If they even talked with these
4 men. .... Hogwash .... !


"The 4 Untouchable men."

The FBI allowed no one to talk to these 4 men??
They even threatened Detectives with arrest and even
Removed the original Detectives off the case!? Other
Detectives later saw the 2 eyewitness statements, from
the Task Force, they too were threatened with arrest if
they even tried to interview these suspects??!!
( many people have no idea the games played in this
case. We always worked well with the Feds, DEA, FBI.
Never heard of such actions by the Feds. Makes no
sense, unless they were hiding things from Detectives
and the public. )

** Also, everyone was told in 2012 Raymond Moody was in Jail at the
time Drexel went missing. It was on the TV set for 2 weeks straight.
How can he be in 2 places at once?? MK Ultra.

  1.  Shaun Taylors criminal act, " Corroborated " every witness statement.  
  2.   "More were involved. Human Trafficking Ring."

 Brittanee Drexel was said to be in this area after her Kidnapping. As well as

in North Charleston, SC and McClellanville, SC. It was reported she was sold

and gang raped in these places ...

GEORGETOWN COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – The attorney for Dawn Drexel said his client was notified by the FBI that a search was taking place in Georgetown County Friday for the remains of Brittanee Drexel, according to WHEC in Rochester, N.Y. 
Don Woods, spokesperson for the Columbia FBI office, said the FBI are involved in "investigative activity" with their law enforcement partners in Georgetown County. 
Woods added those law enforcement partners include the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office. The search headed up by the FBI began Friday morning. The investigative activity took place on Foxfire Court, off Highway 521 just outside Georgetown city limits. Investigators left the scene at about 6:40 p.m. Friday, but would not comment on the investigation.
Watch a recording of reporter Josh Roberson's Facebook Live stream from the scene:

Myrtle Beach Police Lt. Joey Crosby also confirmed they had officers involved in the search as well.
Attorney Brad Conway told WHEC that Dawn Drexel was contacted by law enforcement and advised they had investigative warrants that would be served on Friday.
“Other than that, we’ve been given no other information and we’re on standby, as is everybody else right now, to find out what, if anything, they found that would be of value to Brittanee Drexel’s murder case,” Conway said.

When asked by the WHEC reporter about the family’s mindset, Conway said Brittanee Drexel’s mother is on “pins and needles.”
“Of course we have every confidence in the FBI and the law enforcement working this case, but without knowing more information, Dawn Drexel is on pins and needles, waiting to find out what they found, if anything, and how this will affect hopefully the eventual prosecution of the people responsible for what was done to her daughter,” Conway said.
The attorney said law enforcement gave no indication as to who this information came from, or how long investigators will be on the scene in Georgetown County.
"Hopefully I’ll get an update at the end of the day, but I’m not going to count on that or hold them to that,” Conway told WHEC. “They’ve got a lot of work to do, so I always rely on them to brief me at their convenience. So I expect that to be sometime within the next few days, hopefully today, but I await their phone call.
WHEC confirmed through Conway that the FBI had contacted Drexel's mother and told her that they were searching for Brittanee Drexel's remains in the Georgetown County area.
A crowd of people formed near the search site as the day went on. Ed Greed lives next door to where authorities were searching. He says he just hopes whatever is found brings closure to the family. "The only thing I can think that you might take as a positive is that if they do find her over there is that it brings closure because as a parent I couldn't imagine not knowing what happened to my child or where my child is at," said Green.
Officers left the scene at sundown on Friday night. Officers would not comment on the investigation except to say that it is ongoing.
Last summer, the FBI announced that it is believed Drexel was killed after traveling to the McClellanville area from Myrtle Beach in April 2009. 
An FBI agent’s court testimony alleges that Drexel was abducted, gang-raped at a “stash house” in the McClellanville area, shot after trying to escape, and then her body was fed to alligators.
The FBI's $25,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the suspects wanted in connection with the Drexel case is still available.

Evidence Withheld: 

 *Why remove 3 Detectives off a Case when they are so 

           close to making Arrest??  2010.  Politics.... 


                     Brittanee Drexel Case 


They say things were going great. Chris Bailey describes the momentum and chemistry they had from the very beginning.

"You took strangers," said Bailey, "I had never met Rocky before, never met Vincent before, and never met Steve or anybody else from Merrill's before the case, and in a short time, they were able to build a bond and trust."

With the help of Merrill's Investigations, Chris and Rocky say all the agencies were working side-by-side, gaining ground. 

Detectives Chris Bailey, Rocky Burke and Vincent Dorio. Had the 4 kidnappers names. 

They lived and breathed this case, working and developing new leads and getting very close to making some arrests. 


Close to making Arrest. However - the Feds stopped them??  2010. 


In the summer of 2010, however, they say that all changed.

In June, Bailey was taken off the case completely for the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office. Just a few months later, the same thing happened to Burke at the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.

"Some new task forces were formed and my role was diminished," said Burke.

*People would be shocked to know what really happened in this Case. 


*For 10 years, these pictures taken off a CCTV Camera, were considered vital evidence in the case. However, after 10 years had passed, they were forgotten about?? 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.
 
 




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.

Charleston Co., Georgetown Co. and Myrtle Beach PD 
Detectives' had the Information and Leads needed to 
make Arrest in 2010.   
They all were pulled ..  WTH ..    

Cover Up ..  

3 Veteran Detectives threatened with Arrest if they did their jobs. 

In 2011, the new Task Force, tried also to Arrest the 4 Kidnappers.
They too were stopped and threatened with arrest by the FBI. 

This Case was solved 12 years ago. Which would have been a 
lot easier on the family. The 4 Kidnappers could have told 
the Detectives who else was involved. Human Trafficking. However, for some reason the 
FBI stopped all Arrest. 
Makes no sense. 
Except for a Cover Up.

An abandoned home that belonged to the family of a suspect in Brittanee Drexel’s disappearance burned down on Saturday evening.
FBI officials did not immediately respond to see if the property is one of the “stash houses” that was searched for clues to her disappearance.
The blaze was reported around 10 p.m. Saturday at 1819 Old Collins Creek Road in McClellanville, South Carolina, said Chief Mike Bowers with the Awendaw-McClellanville Consolidated Fire District.
The road is south of where federal and local investigators searched for clues in Drexel’s case in 2016.

Fire crews arrived to find the building engulfed in flames. Bowers said the house had no power and built 80 years ago.

    Besides Taquan Brown. 

Drexel was last captured on video on April 25, 2009, leaving the Blue Water Hotel in Myrtle Beach, where she was staying against her parents' permission. A different inmate serving time at Georgetown County Jail told officials he was informed Da’Shaun Taylor picked Drexel up in Myrtle Beach and transported her to McClellanville.
Munoz said the FBI believes Taylor “showed her off, introduced her to some other friend that were there…they ended up tricking her out with some of their friends, offering her to them and getting a human trafficking situation.”
As the media spotlight grew ever brighter on the desperate efforts to find Drexel, the girl was “murdered and disposed of,” Munoz said.

5. Attempted Abduction of Randa Massey.  07/28/10

Myrtle Beach Police arrested a McClellanville man wanted in connection to a kidnapping attempt a week ago in Myrtle Beach -- a case that has eery similarities to that of missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel. Shaun Taylor, 37, turned himself in Wednesday morning to face charges of attempted kidnapping and first degree assault. An arrest warrant was obtained Monday, and despite two days of searching, detectives were unable to locate Taylor.

"...On Friday, McConaughey's dark-blue 1984 Mercury Cougar was found burned on a remote road near McClellanville. The fire nearly destroyed the car, and investigators found only a cellular phone and some Amway notebooks that had not burned, said Berkeley County Sheriff's Capt. Butch Henerey...."

3) http://archives.postandcourier.com/a...10184640.shtml
"...For five weeks, relatives and friends of 19-year-old Shannon McConaughey anguished over her disappearance. On Monday, their worst fears were confirmed. A body found Friday in woods near Awendaw has been positively identified as that of the Berkeley County woman missing since Jan. 29..."

"...Charged with murder are James Isaac Weston Jr., 24, of South Santee Road; Harry James Rivers, 29, of Society Road; Elijah J. Johnson, 26, of Old Germantown Road; and Randall Keith Taylor, 32, of Rainey Street in Georgetown. All four were denied bail..."

"....One of five men charged in the 1998 murder of Shannon McConaughey told investigators she was raped and shot twice in the head after leaving a McClellanville-area bar with the suspects, a detective testified Tuesday. Suspect Elijah Johnson claimed the entire group intended to rape the 19-year-old St. Stephen woman, but the first man to attack her went "berserk" and killed her, Charleston County Sgt. David Robertson said. Robertson testified during a preliminary hearing for three of the men charged with McConaughey's murder - Randall Keith Taylor, 32, of Georgetown and McClellanville residents Harry James Rivers, 29, and James Isaac Weston Jr., 24. All three were arrested Feb. 8...."

"...The defense lawyers also raised questions about four written statements Rivers, one of the suspects, provided to deputies in 1998. Rivers first told investigators he saw McConaughey and Randall Taylor drive off together that night after asking him where they could buy drugs, Robertson testified. Rivers later said McConaughey was slumped over in the car and bleeding from her mouth and nose. He changed his story yet again before finally telling police he had been lying and knew nothing about her death, Robertson said. Taylor is accused of shooting McConaughey, and the others allegedly helped him dispose of her body and car, arrest affidavits state. Also charged in the crime are Johnson, 26, and Jacob Leon Taylor, 46, both of McClellanville...."

"....The assistant solicitor countered that only someone involved in the crime could have known the details Johnson provided, such as where the body was found, the nature of her wounds and that a red gas can was on the rear floorboard of her car.

Birmingham, England (CNN)Police investigating the deadly terrorist attack in central London are focusing closely on how the perpetrator became radicalized, as they battle to piece together his identity and connections.
Masood, in a photo issued by the Metropolitan Police.
Britain's most senior counter-terror police officer, Mark Rowley, described the inquiry as "very large and fast-paced," and announced two "significant arrests" Friday. Hundreds of officers had made contact with thousands of witnesses, he said.
Authorities had earlier portrayed the attacker, 52-year-old British man Khalid Masood, as having acted alone. It was unclear whether the arrests indicated that Masood may have had associates.
    Masood is known to have used multiple aliases during his life. He was born Adrian Russell Ajao but also used the name Adrian Elms, police said.
    Asked about his possible conversion to Islam and subsequent radicalization, Rowley said: "Clearly that's the main line of our investigation, is what led him to be radicalized, was it through influences in a community, influences from overseas, or through online propaganda."
    He appealed for anyone who knew Masood well or was aware of his recent movements to get in touch, as detectives probe his motivation, his preparation for the attack and any associates.

    Arrests and raids

    Of 11 people arrested so far, two remained in custody as of late Friday, London's Metropolitan Police said. The two in custody are a 58-year-old man and a 27-year-old man, police said. Both men were arrested Thursday in Birmingham, according to police.
    All but one of the people brought in were detained on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

    Arrests were made in London, Birmingham, central England, and Manchester, north west England, police said. Addresses were searched in Brighton, on the south coast of England, Surrey, to the west of London, and in the county of Carmarthenshire, in Wales. Two searches continue in Birmingham and one in London.


    Officers have seized 2,700 items, including "massive amounts" of computer data, and have had contact with 3,500 witnesses to the attack, many of them of different nationalities, Rowley said.
    The number of armed officers remains at nearly double strength in London in the wake of the attack, Rowley said, while extra police officers are also on patrol elsewhere in the UK.
