AL AL - Brittney Wood, 19, Mobile, 31 May 2012 - #12

[shefner]

I have followed Brittany's case from the first days, but I don't read here daily anymore and the threads have gotten away from me.
My primary case is that of Holly Bobo and her threads have been hopping like mad since there have been arrests in her case. So I have been over there a lot. When I come back here, I get so confused about the initials used.
Is it possible that one of you kind folks, for whom Brittany's case is your primary one, would mind making a list of the "cast of characters" with their initials. I just need a refresher. I am trying to follow and its hard for me to remember.

Thank you so much. I'm amazed at how much you all have done to keep Brittany in the forefront of our minds.

Since most have been arrested, we no longer have to use initials except on her father's side. So WH is her father (not to be confused with WWH-Wendy Wood Holland) & SSH is his wife that posts here, BrittsStepMom, Steph.

@ Steph or anyone who can answer, TIA

Re: kPH [CW's "husband"] and his brother

1. In what city did the brother live when BW went missing?

a. Miles from CW/kPH's home?
​

2. Where was the "out of town work"?

a. Approx how many miles from CW's home?
b. Did they actually go there/clocked in/worked?
c. What kind of work?
d. All corroborated?
​

3. Whose vehicle ["truck", I believe Steph wrote] did they take?

a. Is that vehicle still owned by whoever owned it when BW was last seen alive @ CW's house?
​

4. Did "security cameras" also capture images of that truck?

a. Who all was/how many were photod/id'd in truck?
b. Was bed of truck visible in cameras' shots? Anything suspicious?
​

5. When did they return home? (approx time/date)

 

[Quester]

Hi Eileen!

BBM - Can we really believe anything that comes out of WWH's mouth? This woman is charged with sexually abusing children and it appears she was involved in a child sex ring with her now dead husband. All this tells me is WWH was trying to provide an alibi for DH and herself. Truth or lie? Imo, it is most likely a lie since DH's cellphone records indicate he did indeed travel to Chessie's neighborhood.

BBM - Or ...

Could WWH have been providing an alternative story for BW's whereabouts that evening to cover for CW and at CW's request?

 

[KateB]

BBM - Or ...

Could WWH have been providing an alternative story for BW's whereabouts that evening to cover for CW and at CW's request?

That's a possible theory, but going back to one of the earlier queries, remember that one of the other members of Chessie's household included one in the elder generation that is affiliated with the inmate, the same one that testified against Brittney when she was 12.

I am still leaning to the theory that the inmate wrote the threat letter and Wendy was the courier to deliver it to the 'us4' and I still believe it was written months after Brittney's disappearance and Donnie's supposed suicide. And with that theory in mind, it would seem Wendy's actions were to cover her own self. But, you're right, any member of Chessie's household could have relayed information or directed someone to follow Brittney or followed her that evening when she left Chessie's house. And then there's twelve to consider plus the 40 yr old RSO with the Wendy tattoo. He's not part of the sex abuse cases but seems he's been around the Wood family & circle of friends for some years, possibly decades.

 

[BrittsStepMom]

Good question! Have you been able to confirm that the cell phone that pinged in Styx River was the same phone Brittney used to call her friends that night?

Yes, it was confirmed by the phone records we got from LE.

 

[Willow Knight]

Was WWH posting on FB during the time that DH would have been in/around CW's neighborhood to pick up BW? If so, her posts probably say where she was & we can rule out/in whether she was near BW's neighborhood at that time.

I was thinking about this and thought I remembered reading a post about WWH around that time. Took me a few days to find it. If anyone can link this post:

Thread 10, 11-21-13, Post #412

If I am reading that post correctly it says a detective was at WWH's house at 7PM and stayed about an hour. That would pretty much leave DH in his vehicle at the time Britt was picked up from CW's house?

Perhaps you could leave the questions and provide your answers in brackets [] but in a contrasting color.

W 5/30/2012; 5pm-ish ... a male friend of Britt's went to CW's house to visit with BW. The friend "said he saw CW and P[aul]" there. Little P was not there. Regarding BW's demeanor, Steph wrote the friend "Didn't notice anything out of the norm". According to Steph the friend did not say anything about discord between CW and BW about babysitting or anything else. According to Steph the friend said "[BW] told him she was going to visit/stay with a uncle in Styx River".

"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.

Regardless, the MPD has devoted a detective to the case.

Yes that is correct. After I looked back over some notes. But the night that WWH says her and the boys stayed in Styx was the next night Thurs 5/31

Screenshots of Wendy's posts are posted as photos on one of Brittney's Facebook support groups. Since links cannot be posted...there are 3 groups on FB for Brittney. One that BrittsStepMom posts a lot with over 2000 members, one that Chessie never posts in with 400 members and another one that I believe is administered by Team Brittney with a little over 1000 members. Look at the photos on the one with a little over 1000 members back in 2012 and we can refresh memories on Wendy's social media posts. (That one also has an expanded players list in their "NOTES" section.)

HTH.

And yes, I agree with you Lash, that all of Wendy's posts are most likely lies.

I thought she was posting late at night saying g her child was sick and she would have to take him to the Dr's
Around the same time I believe Scott wood was online posting his get cache pix.

Strange....

I think they were all waiting to hear she was out of the area.

I still believe with my entire being that she is alive and living in another state.

If you have already answered those questions, I apologize, I did not see/do not recall those answers.
The clearer the picture of what happened/when/with whom, the more able we will be to positively brainstorm about what happened to/where is BW?
In no way would I want you to publicly divulge info that you have been asked by LE to keep to yourself/ves.
In no way would I want you to jeopardize current and/or future charges against anyone.

This is very helpful so thank you.

Would it be helpful or possible if we could add a column that shows relationship to Brittney.

I think most maybe just friends or acquaintances and maybe those can be listed as just friends if needed. Some seem to be direct relation to Brittney.

If the 2 males are just brothers and the female is the Mom and all the rest are just friends then maybe it is not needed to add the relationship column. Just didnt know if any of them that are listed are relatives like cousins or aunts or uncles to Brittney

In reality here Chessie and Paul were actually the last to see her

She was not seen with dh.

I'll have to go back to see when Chessie changed the story of Brittney leaving the house alone - on foot - happy as could be - going to visit a friend - to her later version of leaving with Donnie.

I'm with you Eileen. Brittney got the hell out of Dodge.
