The Chilling Case of Brittanee Drexel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2022
- On the night of April 25th 2009, 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel vanished while on her way to a hotel in Myrtle beach, South Carolina. The case would turn cold for more than an entire decade... but in May of 2022, that would all change when a familiar face to authorities came forward.

UPDATE: October 19th 2022, Raymond Moody pleaded guilty to murdering Brittanee Drexel and has therefore been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Wow I just watched this video for the first time just now. The timing of this comment is uncanny. I'm glad they are going to be locked up for the rest of their days so there will not be any more victims.
Thank you for the update! Today is 10.20.22 and I'm watching this for the first time, glad to get the update so I'm not left hanging!
Thanks for the update ✨
@@thegothmom3116 I can relate. First time watching. (10/26/22)
I've been watching your channel for a while Adrian. This video hits home. South Carolina is my home and Timothy Deshaun Taylor is my cousin who was wrongfully accused of such a crime. I appreciate your thoroughness and updates in your videos.
Life in prison, no chance for parole, or execution, for child molesters. Period.
So horrible. That poor girl and her mother and family. RIP Brittanee.🙏
If we put more people in prison we will need more prisons and people don’t want to be near prisons
@@animefan7424 so you want child molesters free so we won’t have more prisons? I really hope this was a misunderstanding of some sort. There is no reason for anyone who has ever harmed a child to be roaming free.
For less prisons, it would be best to have actual rehabilitation for non-violent offenders and let _them_ rejoin society.
@@HyperWolf castrate them instead 🥜

dumb comment
In college one of my friends was super close to Brittanee, and when spring break rolled around she invited Brittanee to come with us on our spring break trip. She didn’t end up coming with us, but when she went missing it was awful seeing how difficult it was for my friend as she tried to process Brittanee disappearing. I don’t want to go into detail out of respect, but suffice to say it was a really intense and painful first few days.
These stories always feel like it can never happen in our world, until it does. Don’t take your friends for granted, and look out for one another.
I’m so tired of stories like this with horrendous friends and naivety leading to a death. It’s heartbreaking and I will never understand it. She must’ve been terrified since she lied to her mom and knew no one knew where she was and those trash girls she was with didn’t care enough to look for her. Heartbreaking end, truly.
I don't even know that I would call them friends to begin with. Sounded more like strangers/acquaintances. These girls will have to live with this the rest of their lives. Maybe they feel some guilt about it...
She was no saint.. she lied to her mother to go out with bad kids.
@@spindleblooddoubt it! You underestimate how evil human hearts really are!
This story always haunted me. She must have been so scared knowing she lied to her mom and was so far away. I’m glad that her family will finally be able to bring her home and lay her to rest.
Such a silly girl. Parents aren't out to ruin your life. They're only looking out for you. They've been on this earth a lot longer than you and know the dangers of the world. You have to trust their judgement.
Yeah I bet she wished she listened to her mother. She didn't really have great friends either, what a tradgey.
@@yennefer440 mhmm the two girls she went with were being mean to her.
We had her funeral on Saturday she is at peace thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. I'm just a family friend but I know dawn and Chad needed all fo you guys and most where there for them.
Many kids do stupid stuff, especially with friends coercing them. I told my mom I was going to the movies and then staying at a friend's house. We rode to NYC at 15 yrs old with a guy from the Naval Academy. After going to clubs, we had to stay at a motel that was pay by the hour. I remember roaches swimming in the toilet and begging to sleep in the car. Plus, I had to read a huge book by Monday English class. I did love NYC though, and the clubs were amazing, so I started going every few weeks.
It disheartening to know that he committed these previous crimes, sentenced to 42 years, and yet be released after only serving 21-22 years! And I know other people serving 50 plus years for nonviolent (drugs) crimes.
That must have been a lot of drugs
@@animefan7424 nope. Just one joint back then would give you half a life sentence.
@@HooLeePhucingSheet > yeah, America's "war" on drugs...
@@HooLeePhucingSheet you realize that the person would have to be selling/distributing illegal drugs in order to get that type of sentence right? Even in California, which legalized weed, if a person who is unlicensed sells weed (not to mention selling it to minors) will get a hefty sentence if caught and proved guilty.
@@dingdring6317 you realize I'm talking about the 80's and not present day?
A few corrections/additions:
1. Her boyfriend never went down to myrtle beach with her. She went with two other couples. One of the main reasons she went to hang out with that other guy friend was because she felt like a 5th wheel in her group.
2. It was a family friend living somewhat close to South Carolina who called police. Brittanee’s mother called him about her daughter dropping off the grid, and he drove down from his military base to myrtle beach to look for her. The reason police took his missing person report seriously (since it had only been a few hours since she’d gone missing) was because he was a military man.
3. Police had actually pulled the disgusting pedo over for a traffic violation the day after he murdered Brittanee. Their own report described prominent scratch marks all down his face; as if someone had violently clawed at him. This poor, sweet girl had truly fought for her life, and the evidence was right there all along. RIP Brittanee.
Thank you for the info. Real life is not a horror movie and she's not the first victim who wasn't counting on someone's mercy. I'm still glad this petite girl went down fighting. The worst thing is that she wasn't in the middle of nowhere after midnight and this still happened to her.
Thank you for sharing this info! It is good to be precise. Especially I was surprised how the police reacted so quickly and made Brittanee missing person in their records. I was wondering why it happened so quickly and this is very important for people to know if their loved ones ever go missing...that perhaps if the alarm is rised by an higher status person then the case will be taken more seriously immeadiately. Those first 24-48 hours really matter!
Thank you for the info!! Another bit of information:
He only came forward last May because the police got a tip about his girlfriend making a comment to people in a bar that she had killed Brittanee, not that POS. (Sorry I have a hard time saying his name, he doesnt deserve one.) So his girlfriend went down to the police station willingly, and she eventually found out that she had become one of the top suspects. It's believed he only came forward to protect his girlfriend.
@@sadeeb7664 Its obvious that they both took part in the kidnapping and killing.
@@mdsupreme1776Obvious? Or simply possible?
I lost my dad in 2009. It has been a long 13 years without him. I cannot imagine the pain and hurt the family has felt in that time when they knew nothing.
And too murder. Too loose a loved one to natural causes is bad, but when a relative is raped and murdered. That must be unbearable..
💔
I hope you are well now.Half a year ago,i also lost my father,and while by probably different reasons,i know the pain of losing a loved one.
I've heard many times that it is better on the family to at least know what happened to their loved one, even if they are dead, that not knowing what happened is far worse, I can believe that. I'm glad they now know what happened to her, I hope it gives them some peace.
Nobody cares. This isn't about you.
i can’t believe this case is finally solved. i’ve followed it for years and years just hoping and wishing for her family to finally have answers and closure.
Same! She was only a couple years younger than me, I also moved from upstate to Myrtle back in 2012 and lived there for almost 2 years so I was always invested. It’s crazy that it’s finally solved bc I really thought it would never be. Rest In Peace beautiful girls.
How unbearable the agony that family has had to endure. I really hate that in a universe that can create a beautiful soul can also create as well as allow to continue such monsters.
I applaud the way you present these cases. I don't want to forget about the possibilities we lose every time one our justice fails.
Right? Dunno know but this one just really stuck. To know there’s an actual ending seems unreal. May she RIP.
Omg me too !!! I remember hearing about it when it happened and so many shows came out discussing her case
Such a tragedy :(
Same here, I never thought this would be solved. How awful for the family, but I am glad they got some closure. They must have been hoping yet dreading this day would come for so long
Far too common that sexual predators are let out of prison. I have always said you CANT change what turns a person "on". If their interest is children it will ALWAYS be that. These are the people that shoulda NEVER be set free. I cant understand why other people dont understand that cant be change or altered no matter how much time they have spent behind bars. Rest easy Brittanee you finally got to go home.❤👼🙏
I have a friend who is a CO at a prison here in Canada and that's what he told me about sex offenders and pedophiles; they cant be rehabilitated.
I agree with what you said but I just want to add on that people can also condition themselves into being aroused by certain things even if they weren’t born that way. Orgasms make a powerful reward system, and violent and harmful acts are more common in porn than ever. So if someone finds themselves only getting off to such vile things, they shouldn’t shrug it off and think that they can’t help themselves, but instead stop consuming and engaging with such content. There are people who’ve been turned on around children or hearing assault cases bc of the porn they consume and they shouldn’t think it’s out of their control.
@@malinasworld it is out of their control , they should just KTS
I agree. Unfortunately at 11 years old, I was kidnapped for 27 days during which time I was duck taped face down to a table and raped. This poisoned my mind and emotionally ruined me. My mind is full of dark perversion and emotional turmoil. However, I have no significant criminal history. I simply stay away from everyone but my family, afraid that one day I'll hurt someone. If I keep the protection of everyone else fore front in my mind, I can make it to my eventual grave not having victimized or manipulated anyone. I only make this post to illustrate one fact: sometimes desires are not ones fault. They may not be wanted or indulged in by the individual. It would however be my fault if I acted upon any of the shit my damaged psyche attempts to suggest to me
@@shawnharris6804 oh my god that sounds terrifying. I'm glad you made it through and am keeping strong.
The bit about Taquan is not entirely true as there was a second witness/informant that corroborated some of the details in his story. The girl didn't end up being Brittanee but I always wondered if there was another girl, some other unsolved missing girl, that he just claimed was Brittanee out of circumstance.
I didnt even think about that
That's what I was wondering. Like, are we just gonna ignore this guy admitting he saw a murder?
Yep, I think he saw it happening. It was an another woman-victim.
I also wonder his motives to give out this information, but he did! Taking a huge personal risk! So there surely was a woman in being raped and murdered.
Very likely we will never know who.
Yeah it bothered me, very random he would just come out with that, could be gang related or he wanted moved or something similar.
Keep your kids far away from “people” like him.
Im from Rochester. My ex boyfriends mother worked with Brit’s mother. Her disappearance crushed a lot of people. And scared a lot of teens who used to always go to Myrtle Beach for spring break. Thank you for doing this video. Thanks for shouting out the Garbage Plate! Also Chili is pronounced Chyyy-Lie. I know… I didnt choose the word 😝
George Eastman who created Kodak has a house here that is now a museum. It is said to be haunted by his ghost. He committed suicide and wrote a note that said “I’ve done all I can in this life” to some effect.
Love your videos! Sending love from ROC CITY NEW YORK !
This is a very sad story but I hope my daughter meets a boy like John (Britanee’s BF), he knew telling her parents would get her in trouble but after contacting people he did the right thing and told the parents immediately. Good job to him
Absolutely agree! The boyfriend did the right thing!!
Was kinda shocked honestly that the bf made that kinda move. Guess that goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Regardless it was the right thing to do because otherwise it would look bad on his part and the police woulda wasted more time looking into him.
@@XxMidnightToker420xX I agree when I saw the pictures I didn’t expect that move, in my opinion his actions showed genuine concern and that he cared about Brittanee.
If he was black and you said that there would be hell to pay lol.
The comments would explode with hatred towards you.
@@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 for what? Regardless of color the actions taken were positive. When and why does race have anything to do this? Just to be clear I am not white or black, I’m 100% Mexican so I don’t want to hear minority BS.
I personally believe we need to get rid of the whole, “let out early on good behavior”. Just because they are acting good now doesn’t and shouldn’t negate their awful actions that landed them in jail in the first place.
EDIT: Yes, obviously I'm talking about the more serious of criminals. If you just did like a white collar crime like theft, you shouldn't be in jail for life. But the more violent of criminals like murderers and rapists, etc should stay in jail for their full sentencings without any chance of getting out early on "good behavior".
It's a tricky situation. His crimes were heinous, but did he deserve life behind bars? In hindsight the answer is obviously yes, but it's impossible to know for sure if someone has changed and no longer a threat to society. But in cases like this where they reoffend, they should then serve much longer sentences.
It depends on the crime being honest 7 sexual assusalt in women 14 years and younger mimuim 36 years with an ankle monitor till whole time was served. When you get more time for weed than an serial grapist that should tell you everything you need to know about our justice system.
Right they have no choice but to be good in prison he should’ve never been let out
so true …. behaviour has consequences 🤷🏻♀️
@@jordanthomas2010 they do have a choice, that's why the rule exists.
How much sense the rule makes is a different question. But that's a discussion WAY too big and way too tricky for a comment section of any sort.
Though, the main point would be rehabilitation. The US prison system isn't built on that, but on punishment. Which is fair enough, you commit a crime, you get punished. However, prison systems built on rehabilitation produce way less reoffenders, which is an argument FOR early release on good behaviour.
And that's where it gets complicated. In the US, good behaviour would be not to start fights, not breaking the rules, to put it simple. In other systems, good behaviour is working with the help you're offered.
And before anyone gets me wrong: the first thing to look at is the crime committed. I'm not saying to prematurely release murderers, for example. Mostly talking about nonviolent crimes
Thank you for still taking the time and effort to deliver this story, it's so important to share the stories of these victims of such terrible crimes. They shouldn't be forgotten. I hope you're on the mend.
Sorry to hear you're dealing with covid, but as a covid unit nurse I'm thrilled to know your symptoms are mild enough to treat at home.
I've never seen anything like we've seen with our hospitalized covid patients. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see so much suffering, fear, uncertainty, and loss... To call it "a rough couple years" would be the understatement of the century, and I can't wait until this nightmare is over.
Get well soon, my friend! ✌️💜😷
I’m a RT and worked on our “COVID floor” of the MICU for about a year at the beginning of the pandemic. Really is awful, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Hope you get some rest and take time for yourself. I’ve seen so many healthcare workers burned out over the past two years and no job is worth your mental health. Take care, you’re a rockstar!
I have a case suggestion; Lee Eunhae. She is currently on the run, nobody knows where she is.. She is suspected of murdering her husband, and possibly former boyfriend, both for life insurance probably. The case is very interesting, and I would love to see your interpretation of it. It would also be helpful if it had more international coverage, seeing as she is on the run, and could be anywhere in the world
@@drowz9825 i expected a crime related reply but yours was way better😂😂😂
She was caught back in April, according to Google.
Oh wow.. she is gorgeous
@@finger3306
Dang it, that comment is already gone. 😭
@@winterlight4521
I’m glad. Too bad for her that it’s extremely difficult to hide from the law for very long these days.
I fully believe that when someone is convicted of and sentenced for sex crimes, there should be no early release (if any release at all). That is something so dangerous and, as you stated, hard to rehabilitate from. Any judge that allows an early release that results in death is just as guilty, imo, because they knew of the danger.
Not only that, one of the victims was eight. HTH do they early release that piece of sh it.
They should all be put to death!!!! That's what they did to there victims alive er not!
And if the wrong person was convicted?
@@midnightgod123 when the evidence is solid beyond any doubt.........
I don’t think that they can be rehabilitated.
I can’t help but think that as Brittanie was being abducted by this piece of excrement, the words of her Mother telling her that she couldn’t go to Myrtle Beach came back to her. Parents aren’t trying to hinder your fun or stifle you growing up. When they tell you that you can’t do something, it’s because their trying to keep you safe. I wish Brittanie would have listened to her Mother. I pray she didn’t suffer. RIP Sweet girl. Jesus has you know.
Get well soon mate. you humanize the victims and highlights their lives. I appreciate your content and your pattern of doing it. Hugs from the Philippines!
Whoever signed his parole is responsible for this just as much as he is, when will they learn you cannot fix these broken people

My brother is in prison for drug charges and the system is making sure he stays in but people who are predators get to be "reformed" and allowed to be out on streets with those evil thoughts.
Okay let clarify what I'm saying my brother was sentenced to 8 years he is over the 4 year and normally you can be out after serving half the sentence but he still has to apply for release and it the discretion of the system to say yay or nay but his crime was victimless and nonviolent but in comparison to crimes with victims they have higher chance to be released at their half compared to cases like my brother
Exactly predators need to stay behind bars. They are a tome bomb
Exactly they let rapist out but keep someone who was involved in drug in a small scale or for personal use WTF 🤬
@@cuppasilverbullets because drugs are bad, mkay
They over punish minor shit and under punish true danger..this has happened over and over..released to kill

Only recently found your channel a few days ago. Your detailed way of telling these stories and giving attention to the families and victims is heartwarming. You do excellent work! Thanks for your incredible content!
Dear Coffeehouse Crime, I hope you're feeling better now! Take care of yourself and thank you for yet another excellent video :)
She'd be 30 now. I was 17 in 2009. That's such a sad story to hear, thinking about how much life I've lived since then, how much I still have left to live. Tragic, truly.
I’m 30 now so same. And this happened where I lived too. So there was a lot of so there was a lot of panic and paranoia from parents and schools the next few years, especially during spring break.
I was 17 too born December 1992
This case is so tragic and sad. for both Brittanee Drexel and her family as well as Timothy Taylor and his family. So much hate was thrown towards Timothy Taylor, only 16 yrs old at the time, saying he did horrific things to her based only on a jailhouse informants lie. When they found Drexel's remains and charged Raymond, officials never mentioned Timothy and how he was falsely accused and treated. Taylor was called an animal, had his mugshot everywhere in the media. The people involved, the officials who, after charing Raymond went on to say they treated this case professionally, need to be held accountable and shouldn't be able to just walk away from this .They had no evidence and pushed a narrative that hurt and devastated Timothy and his family as well as allowing a terrible man be able to go free for a long period of time. RIP to Brittanee Drexel, I am happy that her family finally got answers and also I hope that Taylor and his family are able to move forward and that people know of his innocence . Thank you so much for covering this case
I definitely agree! They owe this young man an apology. He should’ve filed a lawsuit against them.
Happens to black men everyday
I cannot believe this case is finally solved! Finally! I’ve followed it for years. Great video!
This is the best telling of this case I've seen....you do a great job Adrian!!..
If a friend is walking home GO WITH THEM, never be alone at night in a unfamiliar area.
Her “friends” were awful. I’ve listened to a deep dive into this; they insisted she walk back to return the shorts, and they had been so nasty to her she actually changed hotels so she was no longer sharing with them. She was very lonely and upset on her last night. 😞
Had it not been for her friends demanding some stinking shorts...that girl would be alive today.
If it means my friend would have to walk home alone i won't let them walk me home, id rather it be me than them.
@@omadjourney- correction, if she hadn't hatched the sly plan to deceive her mother she would be alive today.
@@friendlypiranha774 and she still could've been alive if her friends weren't being mean to her and leaving her out like that. You are stating the obvious that everyone already knows, she still didn't deserve to have her life taken away! And tbh, it could've been any other of her friends that ended up with the same fate as her! And the let a predator back out into the streets! Knowing he could harm someone again!
Thanks for the well wishes folks! I am already feeling so much better 🙌 I forgot to share this in the outro but Timothy Da-Shaun Taylor has of course been officially cleared of any involvement in this case. It's important to highlight the man's innocense, he deserves that. Amongst he and his family, I hope Brittanee's family find peace moving forward.
Sorry you’re ill mate. Covid sucks. Get well soon. If you want the family recipe I use let me know. Your voice is your money.

Glad to hear you are recovering Adrian. We need you healthy to keep giving us these stories and thank you for the empathy you always give the victims.
Coffeehouse crime has become one of my favorite things to watch since I've happened onto it recently. Great storytelling done and interesting stories.
Thank you for your continued content Adrian ❤️ I have enjoyed watching your channel grow and prosper to over 1M followers. You do more research on these crimes than any other RUclipsr I've seen. You're always as kind as one can be in regards to the victims and you focus on them more rather than the perpetrators. Yeah, their background can be important as to how their psyche is made throughout their life but honestly, it's about the victims and the families that have that hole in their hearts and that empty seat at the table for the rest of their lives. You definitely deserve all your subscribers and I hope your channel continues to grow!
17:53 I had to pause the video and really let that sink in... Imagine suddenly being forcefully kidnapped against your will, getting sexually assaulted and killed, and then getting buried for THIRTEEN long years, with NONE of your loved ones knowing what happened to you. I could not imagine a more cruel fate.
Your words are what I have been thinking of ever since her case was solved. Her last couple of days being there at Myrtle Beach was not good for her, and her two "friends" were being mean to her. I know brittanee shouldn't have went, but she did not deserve to have her life taken away at all. Dawn mentioned that Brittanee struggled with depression. I can relate to that. Smh it makes me so sad knowing she was miserable and she could've been able to enjoy her time there at least. She was far away from loved ones in the hands of an evil dirty creep 💔
6/12/22...#1) BAD decision to lie to her family + go where she was already refused permission to go by her mom.
#2) PLENTY of bad ppl out there who will assault/kidnap/drug/abuse/kill anyone who they "notice" + "choose"....any age...
any gender...so ANYBODY can become a victim @ any time...even tho they "think" it is a "friend" + the old "IT CAN'T/WON'T HAPPEN TO ME".
#3) PPL DECIDE TO DISAPPEAR all the time...either for a brief moment or so...or just to "leave their life behind" + "start over". So it could have been Brittannee's
CHOICE to leave/go wherever when her family lost track of her. Especially @ 17 for a young woman who has NO REAL IDEA of the brutality out there in the real world.
SORRY that family + friends lost her + worried/searched for so many years...
BUT glad that this case was finally resolved + Brittannee was "found".

Violent sex offenders and pedophiles should never be released from prison, never given parole. They don't change, they can't be [cured].
🙌
Exactly! And even if they somehow "cured" they still committed a heinous crime that their victims are forced to deal with for a lifetime, and so should they. Zero empathy, zero second chances.
They can be cured... but they have to want it and from there perspective it involves them pychologically neutering themselves by using psychology techniques to basically demolish their sexual identity and any desires they would otherwise have in the future. MOST offenders will never be okay with this so life in prison sounds about right. Problem with the death penalty is to mitigate the risk of wrongful execution costs more than it does to just imprison them for life. Even then you still end up with the wrong person being executed far to often.
So sorry you haven’t been feeling well, sending you positive vibes & wishing you a speedy recovery!! Always enjoy your videos & I was so thankful you covered this case . I’ve been following it for awhile and my heart ❤️ goes out to her family , you do a great job at telling these victims stories and always with compassion . Thank you for all & the hard work you put into the research for these cases . Blessings 🙏🏻❤️
Omg I’m glad you’re ok! And thank you for putting out an episode whole dealing with Covid ❤️ Get well soon. And great vid, once again.
It’s messed up how they blamed a black guy for this and ruined his life for years without really trying to find the real killer. I wonder how many innocent people died while they were trying to railroad the innocent man? Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter….
it's America, it's not surprising that happens

Moody is a monster who will never change. He must spend the remainder of his life in prison with no release. He snuffed out a beautiful young life.
I hope the Drexel family can realize some peace now that the killer has been apprehended
Thank you Adrian and please take care of yourself.
I live in Rochester and i remember when she disappeared, I’ve still never seen so many people just absolutely devastated, it seemed like her friends would never heal from the tragedy, and of not knowing what happened to her.
For years, her friends posted how much they miss her, on Facebook, because we had so many mutual friends in common.
Unfortunately, our city and towns are plagued by an array of tragedy, although few local tragedies have had such an impact on the Rochester community.
Condolences to her family, I hope they find the faith necessary to sustain them through this tragedy, a tragedy that never seems to end.
The girls who fought with her that night must feel very guilty. That’s crazy and sad
@@Pinkflamingo138 Imagine demanding the return of a pair of shorts, if she did not have to return it she would have been alive today. I wonder how they go about their lives now.
@@jadea.2694 I would never forgive myself
I left in 07 and never looked back.
Thank you for another great episode. We're glad the family finally gets some closure.
We hope you feel better soon. Get some rest 😴

🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have watched every single video since you released the tinder date killer back in january of 2021, and its beyond me how the format stays true to that time (consistent) but the quality just goes up, thank a lot for your videos man
Thanks man! That's exactly what I hoped for! 🙌
I hope you feel better soon. Just getting over covid myself. I had no energy so extra props to you for still making content while feeling ill.
you make great content. ive been binging for a month now. its been my nightly routine before i lay down for the day. bless your soul for this content
Also from Rochester, my best friend went to school with Brittanee. It was a massive shock. Myrtle Beach was one of the most popular spring break spots for kids in our area to travel to at the time so there was definitely a wave of 'this could have been any of us'. Their graduation ceremony had a really nice section dedicated to her. It was very somber for what should have been a massive celebration. This story would come up on the news throughout the years, giving everyone some new hope that then went nowhere. I'm glad this case is finally able to come to a close.
I live in Florence not too far from Myrtle Beach and it blows my mind that so many people think that coming to Myrtle Beach is such a big deal. So many dope heads and troublemakers live at the beach it's just nothing but trouble. The beach is gross, dark water. I hate it.
So sad and unfortunate. The 'friend' who asked her to return the shorts that evening, must feel quite guilty. That text was the catalyst that costs her her life. My condolences to her family.
@@KatherineLaura6564 You say the friend should not feel blame and then quite heavily imply blame onto the victim herself....neither of these girls are to blame, only the killer. Girls should be able to walk around safely, even at night alone. The fact that they get hurt or killed is never their fault, it is the fault of the predators who hurt/kill people. Let's stop this weird victim-blaming mindset.
@@BoxOKittens
Well said!
That was my first thought, like how petty to ask her to return her shorts like wow . . .
From what I heard, her friends weren’t even bothered that she went missing and they got a lot of stick for the way they acted
@@KatherineLaura6564 naw friend, you have this backwards. It's your mindset that is outdated. Of course the world is full of bad people, but me stating that girls SHOULD be safe is not the same as me saying they ARE safe. Learn to read and also unlearn those old fashioned concepts you seem to be clinging to.
Apart from all the great work that you do. I love how professional you are, even apologizing for having COVID! I hope you are doing better and thanks for all your great work for each case
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Wishing you a full recovery and thank you for this awesome content.
I would love to see coverage about a missing boy from my area. His name is Ryan Larsen. He’s been missing for over a year now.
Can you share a bit more details I would like to research this case
@@WaitingToBeAGhost Yes! On May 17th, 2021 Ryan walked out of his Elementary School in La Vista, Nebraska which is right outside of Omaha, NE. They did find the umbrella he’d taken to school that day behind the dumpster at his apartment building but nothing else. He is autistic so they considered him a high risk child and started looking right away.
@@WaitingToBeAGhost i wanna look it up too
Has he come home?
@@Jane-nt3vy I wish. The mother recently filled paperwork to have him legally declared dead but no sign of him anywhere.
Brittanee's case has haunted me, and when I saw her name trending on social media, and then why, I gasped out loud. She was in a neighboring county, was close in age, and was in my hometown. We competed in the same circles. I've followed this case since before I had internet access and read about it in the paper. I truly thought we would never see an end to it after crass comments from law enforcement.
But I would like to add- Rochester is not rich. The city is not thriving. There is crime, there is violence, and there is an insane degree of poverty. The companies that were there have since abandoned the city and are mere shells of what they were.
I work in Rochester now but live in another county driving over an hour one way to get there. I work with people who are trapped in poverty, and they hate the crime and cycles of violence they have to exist near. I do remember this case, but at the time it seemed far away to me. Being in the city in a positive position now is opening my eyes to just how devastated we have been by the companies that used to be the heartbeat of Rochester leaving
@coffeehousecrime I love the way you honor the victims and their impacts/who they were to the people around them and the world. Thank you for doing that.
I absolutely love your channel, the work and efforts you put into each cases... Hope you get well soon
What I really like about this channel is how articulate you are with your words and very respectful to the victims of these case.
When she went missing, the dance studios in the area tried to raise as much money as possible for her. It was so heartbreaking. It was crazy to hear the news of this story’s conclusion
Your kitchen/cafe in the background, Adrian, has been my inspiration for my kitchen. It's beyond beautiful. Being warm and cozy, those lights really are important for the mood and atmosphere.
Thank you for covering this, and all the detail! Get well soon. 💐
I swear I am so tired of criminals using their childhood as an excuse. This is so sad....very very sad. 🥺
I don't think it's used as an excuse just as a possible explanation how that person has become who he is. Abuse at a very early age changes a child dramatically. It's true that not every abused child goes on to committ a crime, but in some cases sadly they do.
No one used it as an excuse, it’s a real reason why
Its almost as if the way you were nutured had an effect 🥴
Agreed. Especially grown people.
@@pinco40 I feel what is being said when the history of one's life becomes entangled into horrific acts carried out by monsters.....but I am here to tell you there are many out here that are survivers....carring out no harm to others. 💯
Pedophilia and rape of any sort should be an automatic death sentence. Carried out immediately after trial. That way closure legally will be immediate.
We do have the death penalty. Hopefully it will get put into play.
Poor girl. I can imagine how scary that must have been. Thanks for another great video 🌸
Hoping you are feeling better. Your video was as great as ever! This case is just one of the many unfair and preventable cases out there, when the justice system fails the victims. It is truly saddening.
Great job as always, Adrian! This case is so sad because of the exact reason you stated, she would still be alive if it weren’t for the justice system failing the first time around. My heart goes out to all of his victims.
I’ve always heard when it comes to cold cases the perpetrator has already been interviewed for the crime. I hope you feel better.
I must say, I've watched sooooooo many true crime documentaries on youtube and also on the mainstream streaming services and although the subject matter is awful, I've loved every single video you've made! I've nearly gone through all your videos in less than a week. Nice work!
Thank you as always you do a fantastic job! Hope you're feeling better very soon.
Born & raised in Rochester, NY. I remember this was a HUGE deal & was all over the news at the time of the disappearance, even reaching national media outlets like HLN, CNN, Fox News, & other outlets at the time. Such a tragic story & even more tragic conclusion. Thank you for covering this Adrian.
I first heard about her, only about 6 months after she went missing. The day they announced her remains were found, I came home from work and just began sobbing, as I listened to the press conference. Her disappearance stuck with me through all these years. I’ve studied many cases as a hobby for over a decade now, and none has left as big a mark as this beautiful girl. She was older than me, and I was only a child. However, every day, for years, I wondered what happened to her. I’m just so glad that her loved ones finally after so many years, have answers and their angel back even if it’s not what we all hoped and wanted 😢🫶🏻
You don’t even know her
@@drowz9825 Its called compassion
Another great upload thank you. Keep me busy when I have insomnia as well.
I’m binge watching while recovering thank you for the great content
Hey Adrian! I just wanted to say that YT recommended me your channel a few months ago and honestly, I've been a big fan ever since! I love how respectful you are with each case. Its a fresh cup of coffee compared to other channels I've seen. Thanks for doing what you do, its much appreciated!
I have a case suggestion if you're interested. Loretta Saunders of Halifax Nova Scotia( my home town.) Its a very tragic case about her roommates taking her life and disposing her in a suit case along the highway...its a heart breaking story, and not many know about it and I feel like Loretta's story should be heard. I actually live in the building she was murdered in. Every time I walk by the lobby I get overwhelming sense of sadness.
I hope you feel better soon,man. sending love from Canada
i’m from rochester and this was such a huge story when her disappearence happened. i’m so glad brittanee can finally rest in peace❤️🕊
Another well narrated video, thank you.
Another excellent video...feel your chipper self soon, Adrian! You're the best.
Every time I see this case gone over, it strikes me how accurate Dawn's intuition was about Brittanee being in danger. ALWAYS listen to your mum's intuitions!
Britannee was born in the same year as my own deceased child. My heart goes out to Dawn & everyone else who loved Brittanee...
I feel so bad for Dawn. She told Brittanee she felt like something bad was going to happen if she went...
I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@Rae777 Thank you so much for saying that. You must have caught me at a vulnerable moment -- your sympathy made me tear up.
Sorry for your loss, I hope you're well 🥰
I'm a local in MB and had seen billboards for years here. I never saw Brittanee. IMO sex offenders and child offenders should be kept in jail for the rest of their lives? Why do they have the right to potentially rehabilitate, when they haven't given the same courtesy to their victim? God bless her family and the family of Heather Elvis, which happened 4 years later.
💯 Agreed
I hope you have a swift recovery and feel better soon 🙏🌟💞
Such a heartbreaking 💔 case. My heart goes out to her family and loved one's. 🕊️
Thank you for another riveting video! I've been a subscriber since the beginning and your content keeps improving! Looking forward to the next one.
Much love to you, yours, and all ❣️
Cheers ✌️💙✨
May I suggest a case of the monster
"anders behring breivik"? It's a very recent case that affected my whole country and so far I don't think a lot of people have spoken about it. Norway is a very safe place to live so this case was an absolute shock for us all.
Love your videos and I hope you recover soon :)
This is such a tragic case. My heart aches for her family and I hope the girls she was on vaca with use this as an unfortunate lesson to be nicer to EVERYONE.
Also, I'm so very sorry to hear that you have Covid. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Lots of rest and water. Sending you support and healing vibes in the days ahead.
Get well soon, darling and thank you, for gifting us with your work, even when you're unwell.
Sex offenders ought to be treated like capital criminals.
HOLY CRAP ADRIAN!!!!
1.29 mil Subbies!! WOW ur channel grew fast!! Good for you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Cases like this are infuriating considering how the perpetrator got away for so long despite being suspect number 1
Please rest as much as possible, Adrian, so that you can feel better and recover very quickly. Let as many things go as you can right now. You can always catch up with things later. Your health is your number one priority. Saying prayers for your rapid recovery.
From Phoenix, Arizona USA 🇺🇸
Lol it’s just COVID he’ll be fine
I absolutely agree with you. My mom is coming out of her covid spell and while she is super healthy, it still knocked her. She's very fatigued after the fact - she's stubborn too because she kept working even though she was booked off which I firmly believe added to her current fatigue. So while folks think its 'just covid' it is still taking a toll on your body. Stay safe :)
Feel better and again thank you for being you and all the reporting that you do 💞
Get well soon Adrian! Can't imagine my week without your videos! 💖💞
Thank you once again Adrian,
When society realizes that the demon's that carry out these appalling crimes can rarely be rehabilitated, just look at the statistics. Crimes such as this & against children in particular, should be life sentences,end of in my opinion.
Condolences and prayers to this ladies family and friends.
The stats in this case are kinda incomplete. sex crimes have some of the lowest recidivism rates, but in the US, sex crime also have some of the lowest conviction rates, esp for white males. So stats are rather messy and open to interperation, which makes setting policy off them a bit sketchy.
@@neeneko okay granted, however if anyone who has experienced or knows of someone who has been at the hands of kid fiddler or the ilk then try telling them that's just the way it goes.?
@@boundsgreenboy8354 I am not sure what your point there is. Who said anything about 'the way it goes'? If you are going to try to make an assertion that sounds factual but is actually emotional, that is intellectually dishonest. If you just want to make an emotional or moral argument, that is fine, those can stand on their own. But don't try to wrap it in the false authority of made up 'statistics'.. it just makes it look like you are being untruthful on the moral argument too.
So who's casting aspersions.? Trouble is, as I am sure many may agree, that any attempt to lessen the spread of sex attacks and grooming gang's has been proven futile, the colour of " ones skin " is irrelevant but the effectiveness of deterrent from these crimes has clearly failed. Castrating is not the answer for most so the only guarantee is they should lose their right to freedom.
I was always so frustrated with this case, I am thrilled that it’s solved, thanks so much for covering!
You are amazing as always - thank you 🙏
Well done with your presentation of this case while you were ill. Yet another sad case. So glad her parents at last got their closure. R.I.P young lady.
I’m from around Rochester so I’m glad this case has a conclusion. Also props for bring up the garbage plate. It tastes way better than it looks.
Same I remember this being all over the news so glad they finally figure it out who did this. I hope this man gets what he deserves in jail. Garbage plates only after a night at the bar lol
Had to look it up after I heard it...
And Americans say British food looks bad lol
I hope you make a full recovery quickly Adrian and thanks so much for making these videos despite you being ill.
Sex crime related offenders should never be given early release. I honestly don't feel that they can ever really change despite any rehabilitation. And you have proved that in many of your cases..like this one. Take care!
Mandatory chemical castration. Make them check in regularly to take medication that kills their sex drive.
So sorry to hear this about Brittanee. Thanks for the video, and hope you get better and better each day.
Just found this story to listen to.
Thanks CoffeehouseCrime for putting out a story while feeling so unwell. I would never have known about beautiful Brittany if you hadn't.
I wish that “parole” didn’t exist for anyone that commits murders and/or sex offenses of any kind, to not even be a word...that life in prison is given to these monsters until their deaths...no mercy whatsoever. I’m so happy that justice will hopefully be done this time ❤️🙏🏼❤️
The entire US government, and almost every other government, murders plenty of innocent civilians in their own country and predominantly in other countries , they blow up innocent kids and call it collateral damage and get medals award and praise for it. Do you believe they should get life sentences? It’s funny how they sentence people to life in prison for the same things they do , but they get away with it because they are the judges .
Thank god your not a judge 🙏. In case you didn't know murder can actually change and be an benefit to society. Its win you hear the word serial killer or grapist that every one knows the person can't change. Very few serial killers get paroled.
@@chattingman8546 You’re entitled to your opinion. I stand with what I said. I don’t remember asking for yours. I see that you or any of your loved ones have ever lived through a tragedy like these victims have and I pray you never have. In this case if this monster had never been released, we would not be having this conversation. Please respect peoples feelings and opinions just like I respect yours which let’s agree to disagree shall we, which to be frank, doesn’t make any sense and thank God YOU’RE not a judge!
@@askingforafriend216 your amusing which person in America hasn't had a family member that got murdered by someone. I will tell you the real truth since you want to know. It's not on our justice system to give murders the non serial ones a long time in prison. If you have the courage and want revenge do what we have always done in those situations. Just dig two Graves yours and theirs revenge is never ending. 💯
@@chattingman8546 actually I don’t wanna know and I never asked you. Thank you.
