Great to see, just wish she was charged with abduction and murder as well. That would be just, given the known evidence.
 
After smoking marijuana, Moody had hoped to have consensual sex with Drexel, prosecutors said. When she resisted, he assaulted her. Moody later told police he strangled Drexel and hid her body.

Her disappearance went unsolved for 13 years until new technology was used to track Drexel’s cellphone and prosecutors got help from recordings of conversations made by Moody’s girlfriend. Drexel's body was found in May 2022 in a four-foot grave 10 miles north of the boat landing.

The new indictments come the same week that a Charleston man who was falsely accused of Drexel’s kidnapping and murder as a teenager sued the federal government for abuse of process and emotional distress. He was falsely arrested for the crime in 2016

Girlfriend of Brittanee Drexel's killer accused of making false statements to FBI

Taylor would spend a year behind hard at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston on the robbery, but it was a tool the FBI was using to pressure him and build a stronger case. He was eventually released because the FBI couldn’t establish probable cause for charges.

As he was incarcerated, Taylor’s mother Joan was fired and Shaun lost customers at his auto repair business. A pastor in their church stopped talking to them as well

“The FBI, in one brief stroke, had comprehensively and permanently reduced Timothy Taylor’s life and the lives of his family members to smoking rubble,” the lawsuit says.

At one point, Shaun Taylor hatched a plan to confess to Drexel’s killing, take sole responsibility in an effort to bring peace to the family. An attorney said it wouldn’t work, because the FBI would want to recover Drexel’s remains as proof.

In February 2019, Brown retold his story to a journalist, but every detail had changed. The FBI knew Taylor had nothing to do with Drexel’s murder – just as SLED agents told them years prior.

“The FBI watched as Taquan Brown’s credibility collapsed, taking with it their own. They ruled Timothy Taylor out as a suspect, but they were careful to keep that a secret,” McKaig’s lawsuit claims.

By not publicly clearing him, Taylor and his family remained the prime suspects in the public eye, and the bullying and death threats continued.

As of the March 26 lawsuit filing, the FBI has yet to apologize or publicly acknowledge that Taylor had no involvement in the tragic, final weekend of Drexel’s life.

“To this day, the only apologies that the Taylors have received were given to them by the people who suffered and lost the most from this long and senseless human tragedy the parents of Brittanee Drexel,” McKaig wrote

This is pretty incredible stuff. Why is this not national news? SLED told the FBI they had the wrong guy but they drove ahead anyway. Why are there not FBI agents going to prison?

It's a pretty one sided piece, clearly meant to inflame folks against the FBI for the pending law suit. Probably want to take it with a grain of salt or 12.

The FBI had an informant pointing fingers at the Taylors. I feel for the Taylor family and what they went thru, but the FBI didn't pick their name out of a hat.
 
So glad to see that she has been indicted for something… it should be as a participant, or at least, as an accessory to the kidnapping and murder. I mean, if she carried her cell phone off and disposed of it, she knew what was going on!
