Missing N.Y. Teen Was Abducted, Sexually Abused, Shot and Fed to Alligators

A New York teenager who went missing during a spring break trip to South Carolina in 2009 was abducted, sexually abused at a stash house, shot after trying to escape, and then her body was fed to alligators.

According to KTLA:

Brittanee Drexel of Rochester, N.Y., was 17 when she went to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for spring break. Earlier this year, the FBI said they believed Drexel had been murdered.

FBI agent Gerrick Munoz recently testified that several people who claim to have witnessed Drexel’s death have come forward, WMBF reports.

Munnoz testified in a detention hearing that Timothy De’Shaun Taylor is one of the main suspects in Drexel’s disappearance. Taylor is being held in an unrelated case involving a robbery in 2011.

Inmate Taquan Brown told authorities that he was present at the stash house when Drexel was killed, according to court records.

Brown reportedly told Munoz that he saw Taylor, who was 16 at the time, and several others sexually abuse Drexel at the stash house, WMBF reported. Brown also said that at one point, Drexel tried to run away and was pistol whipped.

Brown said he heard two shots and assumed Drexel was killed. Munoz testified that several witnesses said Drexel’s body was then put into an alligator pit so it could be eaten.

Munoz said several alligator ponds were searched but nothing was found.

Another unidentified inmate corroborated that account, Munoz testified. That inmate told Munoz that Drexel was abducted by Taylor and she was in a “human trafficking situation.”

The inmate said “it became a problem” when there was media coverage about Drexel’s disappearance and she was then “murdered and disposed of.”

No charges have been filed.

Pennsylvania Trio Strangle Overdosing Man In Car & Dressed Up Body To Look Alive

Three people in Pennsylvania were arrested last week for allegedly strangling a man who was overdosing on drugs with jumper cables, putting a hat and sunglasses on him to make him look alive and dumping his body in the woods.

According to KTLA:

According to investigators in Lackawanna County, suspect Tyler Mirabelli told police his friends called him for a ride when they thought the victim, Joshua Rose, was overdosing. Instead, troopers allege Mirabelli drove his truck north on Interstate 81  from Scranton toward Susquehanna County with the victim, and suspects Preston Layfield and Amanda Wayda in the car.

Prosecutors said they have never seen a case like this before.

“Bottom line, they drove right past a hospital and continued north on I-81. At this time, we are not sure why they did that,” said Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Mark Prushinski.

According to court papers, as the group reached northern Lackawanna County Layfield used jumper cables to strangle Rose.

Troopers said before the trio stopped for gas, they dressed up the body to make him look alive   by placing a hat and sunglasses on him.

“If someone is OD’ing you should help them, right? To the hospital is the number one thing, not strangle them and dump their body. It’s absolutely terrible,” said Brandon Ritter, of Lenoxville.

Detectives said the group then made another stop near on Glenwood Road in Hop Bottom where they heaved the body near some railroad tracks.

Tammy Carey lives right up the hill and heard a train whistle blow as police arrived.

“I thought it was a deer or something on the tracks, but it turns out it was something different,” Carey said.

An arrest warrant was issued for Wayda. State police said she called police on Sunday and told them she had witnessed a murder.

Wayda was taken into custody by troopers from the Frackville station and was being held in the Lackawanna County Prison.

Mirabelli and Layfield were charged with aggravated assault and conspiracy.

An autopsy for  Rose was scheduled for Tuesday. Prosecutors said they expect to file more charges.

Absolutely mortifying and demonic.
