"Uncles selling their nieces for drugs, for cars, for rent". How much that may apply here, we shall never know.

I don't suppose she'd need her gun or baby gifts... Back to the truck stop aren't we.

I don't understand if that was a slight at me or ? I wasn't implying BW did anything at all to her child and I never mentioned the truck stop...

I dont know, but I think Gliving was referring to trafficking.. no need for her gun or baby gifts.. and the truck stop was the last place her phone pinged.

I dont think it was a slight at you at all. But maybe I missed something. LOL.. wouldnt be the first or last time!

Ah ok. Sorry, last night was stressful (I start official med-school in an hour...freaking out would be a nice way of putting it) and I was / am being sensitive.

I hope to g-d that Brittney was NOT trafficked and if she's out there, she left on her own accord in haste. As time moves on, I start to think of more things and am growing frustrated with the lack of communication that we, the public, are getting. I do care, immensely and want answers for those that loved her. Her daughter deserves to know. I never read anything about the father of the child saying much, and that only concerns me because that's the childs' voice right now. But then again, maybe he's refraining from saying much to try and give the kid a normal life, sheltered from media.

I hope today brings answers while I'm in class, and when I get home I sit down and read "breaking news".

No not at all! I'm sorry if I was vague.

Good luck in school.

OFFICIAL PLAYERS LIST (Updated: 8/20/12)

CW (mom) & WH (dad) (BW's bio parents) have 2 sons (DW & TJW) & 1 daughter (BW) together. All 3 children have CW's last name.

DW (BW's older brother) arrested by BCSO, remains in jail.

AH is PH's bio dad who has custody of BW's daughter since April 2012, we believe. AH allegedly lives in Grand Bay with his mother & daughter.

CW has a 2 year old girl and an infant son with her current boyfriend, KPH (sometimes referred to as BW's stepdad). They are not married but they live together as a family.

CW's 2 year old is about the same age as BW's daughter (PH).

RSW (fka SW - 2nd uncle arrested with the heavier charges) is CW's brother (now known as RSW to distinguish from the other SW sister below).

WH (BW's dad) is married to SSH (BW's stepmom).

SW (another sister of RSW, CW, MWK & WWH).

DK (1st uncle arrested, out on bond – arrested twice by BCSO and once by MPD, out on bond from each arrest, private defense attorney is JWB, married to MWK (CW's sister).

MWK & WWH are twins.

CW's sister WWH was married to DH who allegedly committed suicide with BW's small calibre handgun approximately 40 hours after BW left CW'S home. He died a few days later in a Pensacola hospital. He was allegedly discovered by WWH & a family friend.

DH & WWH have 2 sons & 1 daughter together. DH may have 3 other children who are older.

DPH Jr (aka 'Nova) DH’s son (WWH’s stepson) - arrested by BCSO, out on bond.

WBB close friend of DH for many years; arrested, arrested by BCSO, out on bond.

Assuming Brittney didn't leave voluntarily, at this point the only way I see her disappearance being solved is if it is, in fact, related to the sex cases and one of those players feels the heat as their criminal cases progress. Sad to say but if that's the case, I don't know what options LE has at that point but to make a deal with the devil(s) in exchange for testimony on those involved.

Thank you FBmom! You did a fantastic job

WBB and DW are they only ones not being charged with Incest?

Thats the way I understand it misplacedcajun.. DW was initially charged with incest, but it was dropped.

I have a question (sorry if it's been answered) concerning Dustin Kent, the initials are always confusing - so I'm typing his name. He was arrested 3 times. Now, when I read the charges, the last arrest doesn't include incest. So, he was arrested for 3 different incidents or 3 different people? I'm not trying to sleuth victims here, I just don't understand his charges or the method of them at least.

Without having the benefit of the actual warrants in hand as issued and going only by the charges identified on the BCSO & Metro websites - the information above is accurate (as far as we know).

We know there is more than one victim (as stated by LE) so it is likely there are non-family members in addition to family members who are victims.

Alabama Code - Section 13A-13-3: INCEST

A person commits incest if he marries or engages in sexual intercourse with a person he knows to be, either legitimately or illegitimately:

(1) His ancestor or descendant by blood or adoption; or
(2) His brother or sister of the whole or half-blood or by adoption; or
(3) His stepchild or stepparent, while the marriage creating the relationship exists; or
(4) His aunt, uncle, nephew or niece of the whole or half-blood.

To put it more simply - in Alabama all family relations are considered incestuous with the exception of cousins by blood or marriage as well as nieces, nephews, aunts or uncles by marriage only.

It was my understanding that DK not being charged with incest in his first arrest in Baldwin County may have been an oversight (although... it may be accurate).

DK's third arrest (this time in Mobile) did not include a charge of incest (again - this could have been an oversight or it may be a non-applicable victim).

DW was initially charged with incest but that was later removed due to an error. There is no way to know if it was an administrative error or upon further investigation it was technically not applicable.

WBB is not related to any family member by blood or marriage (AFAWK) so a charge of incest would not be applicable, at least not at this point.

I really thought Donnies wife (sorry, not sure of her initials off hand) would've had some sort of maternal instinct in her and started to talk. But alas... nothing

That woman is not right in the head. She's getting off on the control and that's easy to assume based on her snide remarks in the past. I don't think she wised up. No one (including her kids MOO) come before her and her opinion, but for all we know, she could be under investigation and has been shut up by LE. I just don't see her willingly stepping out of the spotlight.

Thank you, FootballMom, for the excellent timeline.

While reading it, I had an "ah ha moment" re the activities on 5/31, the last time BW's phone pinged along with DH's phone at 12:07 am, followed by "someone" posting at 1:42 am about her sick child. Yet, nothing else was said about the sick child the next day. Who writes about a child at 1:42 am n her FB page? Seems to me that DH and BW were together in the wee morning hours and that "someone" was also awake. Waiting up for husband, establishing an alibi?

As much as I hate to think it, something happened to BW at the hands of DH on 5/31. His suicide with BW's gun occurred on 6/1/2012, and I suspect the suicide is closely linked to what happened to BW. DH had been under investigation for several months on other charges, so it's not like he was caught by surprise. WWH knew about hubby's troubles. I also sense some jealously toward BW.

It has been too long since BW vanished for her to be alive, MOO.

Sad to see another day has gone by with no news about Brittney.

Yep... I think if we took a poll the numbers would be staggering and in direct support of the level of frustration that is felt by many.

I had a bit of an 'a-ha' moment myself today. Common sense or at least one would hope that in matters of very serious "tip of the iceberg" crimes (as discussed in the other threads in my signature below)... If things are so very horrific why the heck were they not arrested earlier?

We can't use the "it takes time to build a solid case" hopeful excuse any longer. People who are suspected of the same crimes are most often immediately arrested at a minimum to protect & prevent additional assaults or victims. LE didn't do that before they were arrested & the court certainly didn't take preventive measures by releasing them (especially DK).

Next week will be 3 months since Brittney disappeared... Seven months since the other investigation began. Everyone with the exception of Brittney's brother, are out & about in society with little to no consequences or supervision.

What is wrong with this picture? Things were highly suspect before & even worse today.

Exactly my thoughts as well. There was no sick child. No one asked how the child was doing either. Hmm odd.

Had to take a much needed break - I knew it when I was confusing things that I already knew from the beginning lol...

Anywho... I woke up early this morning & started searching through some sites that are known to be used by "escorts". I found nothing at all in regards to BW or any of her friends. Just wanted to note that, & I've searched since 3am today. If anything's there then I missed it.

I've been going over the entire families' online activity & it dawned on my that we haven't been made privy to when the initial call to le took place. Does anyone close to this situation know? Was it March or April by chance?

Wish we had some news.

This whole case has been bizarre, FootballMom. From the circumstances around the disappearance to the suicide and sex abuse/rape charges against five men related/associated with BW and, especially, the way LE has handled all of these events.

Everytime that I start thinking that LE may know more than they are acting like I am reminded that budget shortfalls, the quality of training provided and lack of competitive pay have systematically destroyed the MPD.

A friend of mine, who is a captain with the MPD, stated that a rookie cop in Birmingham, Alabama makes as much as he does and he isn't kidding. Mobile pays the lowest out of the entire state of Alabama. They lose quality officers to surrounding communities because a town of 700 to 1000 pays more than Mobile does. Their budget, lack of, also restrains them in their ability to properly investigate crimes.

I can hardly blame the officers that risk their lives daily but do hold the city leaders accountable. Their irresponsibility has lead the city to this point. And now city leaders have passed a new ban on public smoking, effectively making all public area's (restraunts, parks, roads, sidewalks, office buildings and any other place that the public may gather with exception of bars) a nonsmoking zone, as well as, other ordinances and instructed the Chief to hire additional officers to enforce these new rules without increasing the budget to hire them.

And all of this is going on while, for three months, a young woman has been missing and it appears that nothing will ever be done about it because the easy excuse will always be that she simply ran away and that is why they can't find her. Can't or Won't? That's the real question.
