Brittney Wood

The Disappearance that Uncovered a MASSIVE Family Secret: Brittney Wood

It is believed that 19-year-old Brittney Wood was in the company of her uncle,
Donnie Holland when she disappeared on May 30, 2012. Holland was under
investigation for sex crimes at the time and allegedly killed himself two days
after Brittney vanished.

Prosecutors confirmed afterward that Holland had been the leader of the
largest sex ring ever uncovered in Alabama. Eight of Brittney’s relatives and
three family friends were charged with felonies ranging from incest to child
pornography. It is also believed that Brittney was a victim of her uncle’s crimes
and could have been a key witness had she been found.

Brittney’s mother and two aunts were on trial as well, but denied partaking in
any crimes. Brittney had a baby girl when she was 17 years old and fell into
drug use at a young age. Private Facebook messages uncovered by police
revealed that Brittney had been raped by three male relatives just three days
before she disappeared.

Police are still searching for Brittney and are following up any and all leads.
