For more than a decade, the family of Brittanee Drexel has wondered what happened to her. In 2009, the 17-year-old girl disappeared while walking to a motel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Now they have the harrowing answer, after Brittanee’s killer pleaded guilty to her murder.
After Brittanee was placed inside his car using advanced cell phone technology, police focused their attention on Raymond Moody.
Moody “came clean”Scott Hixon, the prosecutor in this case, stated these words in a police interview. Investigators were led to the location where the killer buried Brittanee’s corpse after strangling and raping her.
Moody pleaded guilty earlier this week to murder and kidnapping in court.
“I don’t have the words to express how horrible I feel, and I’ve felt ever since that day. I’m very, very sorry,”Moody stated.
Brittanee’s mother, Dawn Pleckan, blasted Moody at the hearing. “I hope you suffer in prison for the rest of your useless life,”She spoke.
Chad Drexel, her tearful father, also spoke. “The defendant was, and is, and I’m sorry, a perverted, sick monster,”He stated.
Moody was sentenced with a life sentence.
