Inmate files lawsuit related to Brittanee Drexel murder investigation
Jail informant who linked Timothy Taylor to disappearance of Brittanee Drexel files lawsuit
Some additional timeline information in these two articles.
Remember, Brown had been sentanced to 25 yrs for manslaughter in June 2015. Supposedly Brown received a phone call, possibly from Shawn Taylor, in mid Feb 2016 during which threats were made on Brown’s life, as well as his mother’s, supposedly in relation to the Drexel investigation. Brown was then interviewed by LE about Brittanee’s case in April 2016. Presumably this is when he first told his “stash house” story. By July 2016, Brown had decided he wanted nothing to do with the Drexel investigation and wanted to “null and void his previous agreement and testimony.” However, in late Aug 2016 FBI agent Munoz testified in the Dashaun Taylor trial and mentioned Brown by name while describing the horrific details that were subsequently widely reported and threw this case back into a national spotlight.
These articles also claim the FBI and state LE offered two inmates $25K in late October 2018 to gather information from Taquan Brown. Supposedly one by the name of Timothy Rainey reported back that it was
Brown who was responsible for the abduction, rape and murder of Brittanee Drexel.
These details make it appear the only reason Brown came forward was for his own self interest, and he never really cared about getting justice for Brittanee. Now that he’s got a bounty on his head he needs to make a decision: either he goes all in and tells LE everything he knows in the hopes that those responsible get arrested, and he and his mother get protection, or he changes his story by talking to the press and adding false information about his dead cousin and other conveniently deceased witnesses with the intent of undermining the ongoing investigation of the Taylors and, perhaps, getting them to drop the bounty on his head while he serves out his time.
It appears Brown stopped communicating with LE a while ago, and the FBI felt inclined to determine for themselves what Brown’s role in Brittanee’s case was, so they enticed fellow inmates to gather information. That information supposedly puts Brown very much in the middle of the events that decided Brittanee’s fate. But then, if it’s Brown that is primarily responsible, why would ST feel the need to make threats against him and his mother?
Just thinking out loud...
My heart just aches for her family having to think about that! As bad as it may seem to say, sometimes it is better if the victim is killed quickly...What we are hearing is the worst scenario possible! What scum of the earth that gang is!!
