Another harrowing update to the Brittanee Drexel case comes to us from the Georgetown County Coroner’s Office.
As we have been covering in the past weeks, Brittanee’s family are finally on their way to getting the justice they’ve sought for over a decade. An arrest has finally been made relating to the disappearance of the teen nearly 13 years ago. A suspect, Raymond Moody, was charged with her rape, kidnapping, and murder.
This morning, the Georgetown County Coroner’s Office posted an update to Facebook regarding Drexel’s case — and it could be a big problem.

But what does this discovery mean for the legal proceedings? Moody was originally arrested with a warrant on the grounds of manual strangulation. If it can’t be proven he strangled Brittanee… then will it hurt the prosecutor’s case moving forward? Hmm…
