[reporter] The search is on for 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel,
whose phone last pinged near the Pole Yard Boat Landing.
Twelve canine units and 15 investigators
are scouring the area.
[Dawn] I need your help
in bringing the people responsible to justice.
[narrator] On a sun-drenched playground,
a teenager's spring break unravels.
[Tarah] How does someone just disappear?
How is she not being found?
Year after year, the perpetrator
slips through the cracks...
[Jimmy] He was a evil predator that stalked the streets
of Myrtle Beach.
...evading law enforcement.
We do have hope that she's still out there.
Somebody's gonna slip up eventually.
Leaving behind only questions.
[Det. Hanna] It didn't make sense to me.
He only had one arm.
He is the embodiment of evil.
We need everyone's help to bring her home.
[Jimmy] Evil people lurk, and they don't always
have horns and a tail.
[upbeat music playing]
Myrtle Beach, a sprawling 60-mile stretch
of white sand hugging the coast of South Carolina.
[Jimmy] Myrtle Beach is really just a magical place.
It's just always been a very touristy area.
[Tarah] There was the beach and there was the parties,
the boulevard and all the different food, shops,
restaurants, bars, clubs.
It was the spring break destination for people
in Rochester, New York,
and to get out of the cold weather.
♪ We up all night until the sun comes up ♪
For years, this sun-soaked strip has been a magnet
for high-school and college students,
a spring break haven
where fun and freedom mix with just a hint of chaos.
The rite of passage in Rochester is from, like,
15 on you go to Myrtle Beach for spring break.
You felt very left out if you didn't go.
Brittanee Drexel, 17,
and a junior at Gates Chili High School
in Rochester, New York, has been ticking off the days,
eager to join the time-honored tradition
of spring break in Myrtle Beach.
[Casey] Brittanee definitely was larger than life.
Definitely a people person.
She literally could go into a room
make friends with everybody.
[Tarah] She was a force to be reckoned with,
especially on the soccer field
and in life itself.
The year before Brittanee's parents separated
and started to divorce, things started to kinda change.
She started to become more rebellious.
She had always been spunky, but the spunkiness
kind of turned more to determined.
[Chad] Brittanee, she just...
became a little more distant between both of us,
a little more secretive.
When April rolls around,
Brittanee is excited about the idea
of heading down to Myrtle Beach to party with some new friends.
[Jimmy] A few older kids from Brittanee's friend group
had decided to go on vacation or spring break to Myrtle Beach,
and they had invited Brittanee to go.
Her mother said, "Your daughter wants to go to Myrtle Beach,
and I know her grades are bad."
And I said, "You're waking up for school late
"because you're partying the night before your friends.
"You're not putting priority before pleasure.
My answer is no."
Brittanee's mother, Dawn, and father, Chad, have no idea
their daughter has been partying on the sand
of Myrtle Beach.
As far as they know, Brittanee is safe and sound
spending the weekend with friends in town.
But when Brittanee suddenly stops answering
her boyfriend John's texts,
he makes the call no teenager wants to make.
Betraying his girlfriend's confidence
to tell her parents the truth.
[Chad] So initially, I had gotten a call that evening
around 9:30ish from Dawn...
telling me Brittanee's...
missing.
As much as I can recall...
I was just, "What? What do you mean?
"She's missing from where? Was she stuck somewhere?
I can go pick her up."
"No, she's in Myrtle Beach."
[Tarah] Her boyfriend was calling her.
Her mother started calling her, her grandmother.
Even her boyfriend's mother had tried calling her.
"Brittanee, please call me."
"We don't know where you are."
You really feel like...
you try to be positive, but reality hits.
So here comes the storm.
All I wanna do is find our daughter.
[mysterious music playing]
Determined to ease the Drexels' fears,
the police waste no time tracking down the hotel
where Brittanee had checked in with three friends.
[Jimmy] Police find out that Brittanee is staying at the Bar Harbor,
an older motel...
south end of the beach.
They interview Brittanee's friend group.
[Victoria] The girls that Brittanee went down with
were several years older.
She wasn't super close with them,
and they really butted heads when they were down there.
[Jimmy] She was kind of a fifth wheel.
There were some arguments over stuff like clothing
and they find out that that group has not seen her
in about 48 hours.
And the last time they had seen her,
she had said she was going to the Bluewater,
which is right up the street.
That night, Brittanee heads to the Bluewater Hotel,
just about a mile and a half away to meet up
with Peter Brozowitz, a 20-year-old club promoter
that she knows from Rochester.
He's in town for spring break too.
[Casey] Peter hung out with Brittanee, our friends,
the little group we had.
He was very infatuated with Brittanee.
I don't think Peter was used to hearing the word "no"
or not being given what he wanted.
[Jimmy] When police learned that Peter had checked out unexpectedly
at like 1 o'clock in the morning on the 26th,
That certainly raised suspicions,
'cause it was only a few hours
after Brittanee had gone missing.
[Casey] I think it's weird.
Somebody goes missing, and then within hours,
you're all packed up and loaded, and you're out of Dodge.
[Jimmy] He goes back to Rochester, New York,
and as soon as we go up and talk with him,
he lawyers up.
He doesn't want to talk to anybody.
[Chad] My only question is, "Why?"
And I put it very simple.
So why would you hire the most expensive elaborate lawyer
when you did nothing?
When police finally sit down with Peter,
lawyer firmly in place,
he lays out a neatly packaged story.
But the question lingers.
Can they trust what he's saying?
[Jimmy] Peter was really...
You wouldn't call him a Southern gentleman.
Really didn't present well to the police.
He said that she was there roughly 10 minutes
before she received a text from the girls
that she had come down with, her friends,
and then she had to leave.
[Tarah] One of the girls that she was down there with
texted her and wanted the shorts that Brittanee was wearing.
She wanted to wear them that night.
Brittanee said, "OK, I'm picking up my flip-flops.
I'll be back there soon."
So that's it.
According to Peter, all he knows is that she left
the Bluewater Hotel.
After that, he claims he met up with a friend at the bar.
While Myrtle Beach police are in the investigative process
of checking Peter's alibi, they got a huge break.
They were able to get their surveillance cameras
from Bluewater.
[Kin] The video footage corroborated Peter's story
and gave him more credence.
Video footage depicted Brittanee walking out of the hotel.
He was telling the truth.
[Jimmy] They were able to substantiate
that she had arrived at 8:33,
and that she had left somewhere around 8:50.
In the last 24 hours, there have been no more
reported sightings of 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel,
who went missing here in Myrtle Beach.
Right here to the north here a little bit
is a traffic camera that Brittanee Drexel
was captured on...
in a very grainy image walking north on the boulevard.
[Jimmy] She's wearing shorts, and she's wearing flip-flops.
But it also corroborates the fact
that she's with the phone.
[Kin] Within a few minutes of that camera catching her,
her cellphone -- she abruptly stopped texting,
in which was highly suspicious.
[tense music playing]
[Jimmy] Brittanee's cellphone records and the cameras,
the biggest thing that you got from both of those
was to fill in a timeline,
that something happened around this time.
We just didn't know what it was.
[tense music playing]
[Chad] The police told me she went missing, you know,
on Ocean Boulevard. What do you mean?
That area is packed with people.
Someone saw something, you know?
It's mental torture.
How does someone just disappear off the face of the Earth?
How do they just vanish into thin air?
While Brittanee's friends and family are reeling,
detectives shift focus to her phone.
It might be the only lead left.
It finally died at right around midnight,
11:57, around the pole yards
on the Santee River, just south of Georgetown,
approximately 46 miles from Myrtle Beach,
from where it started.
[Det. Hanna] This was a desolate place.
It's very dark, there's not much traffic,
and it's just a scary area.
[Kin] What in the world would a person like Brittanee Drexel
be doing in a very, very remote location?
It just didn't make sense.
Brittanee Drexel has been missing
for seven long days.
Investigators are following a lead that takes them
nearly 50 miles from the busy Myrtle Beach boulevard
where she was last seen.
Here, at a deserted boat yard,
they're combing through the shadows,
hoping for any sign, any trace that could point them toward
the missing high-school junior.
[Tarah] Law enforcement explained to us
that it is this desolate area.
It's in the middle of the woods,
and immediately you feel fear.
[reporter] The search is on for 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel,
whose phone last pinged near the Pole Yard Boat Landing.
Twelve canine units and 15 investigators
are scouring the area.
[Kin] It can be a dangerous area if you're not prepared.
There are snakes.
There's wild animals, wild hogs.
They're looking for anything as small as a phone,
but as big as a person.
[Chad] It's like the stuff you see on TV every day.
Then you gotta think, "It's your daughter,
they're looking for her."
That bothered me the most.
[Jimmy] After a couple of days of looking,
they give up the search.
[Tarah] How can you not find anything?
Not even her cellphone.
We know where her cellphone pinged.
How do we not have her? How is she not...
being found?
For 15 months, the case goes cold.
No leads and no new information.
Then, a chilling incident unfolds in Myrtle Beach.
A 20-year-old woman narrowly escapes
an attempted kidnapping,
not far from where Brittanee Drexel was last seen.
Before I could turn around,
one male had me around the waist,
trying to pull me into his van.
[reporter #2] That was Randa Massey, in her own words,
speaking to WMBF News.
She was a young white girl,
and she was 'bout the same age as Brittanee.
The police immediately focused on that,
thinking that, you know, this may be our guy.
Could this be the break in the case
everyone has been desperately waiting for?
The description that the young girl had given,
it matched Shaun Taylor from down in McClellanville,
which was some suspects that had already been generated
by the other investigators.
Their picture was put in a photo lineup
where they showed it to the young girl,
and she picked out Shaun Taylor
as one of the persons trying to grab her.
The arrest warrants were issued.
For the next four months,
investigators navigate a maze of leads,
desperate to find the new thread that would tie
Timothy Shaun Taylor to Randa Massey's narrow escape
and the vanishing of Brittanee Drexel.
[Tarah] It was a roller coaster of emotions
because maybe this is the person who took Brittanee.
But hope crumbles like a house of cards
when police reveal the devastating truth.
Timothy Shaun wasn't even in Myrtle Beach
when Randa narrowly escaped or when Brittanee went missing.
[waves crashing]
We just hit another wall.
Another dead end.
[Chad] So after time goes by, I just start getting numb.
"You're OK. You're getting through this.
This is a storm."
Your emotions are a roller coaster.
Two years have passed since Brittanee went missing
and the investigation has unraveled
with two promising leads that faded into dead ends.
Hoping a fresh perspective might spark new momentum,
police bring Detective Phil Hanna
onto the case.
The question now is whether he can uncover a new angle
that could finally lead to answers.
I requested from our deputy, "Please furnish me with a list
of all the sex offenders that was registered in our county."
And she gave me a list but kept one out,
which was for Raymond Moody,
and said, "You really need to look at him."
If there was gonna be a boogeyman,
it would've been Ray Moody.
Ray Moody had been in the military.
Ray had been sentenced in California
for raping multiple children.
He had served about 20 of those years
before he was released in 2004.
But he was on parole,
and he moved back to Georgetown.
He was classified as a serial sexual predator.
That's the worst kind of classification
that a sex offender can have.
[Tarah] He is the embodiment of evil.
His criminal history, his background was horrendous.
[Det. Hanna] He was a fit man.
And he could easily have taken Brittanee
by himself.
[Jimmy] Everybody in Georgetown,
from the day Brittanee went missing,
thought it was Ray Moody.
But there was not any evidence that pointed toward him.
Determined to connect Raymond Moody
to Brittanee's disappearance,
law enforcement casts a wider net,
turning their focus to those closest to him.
Could someone in Moody's inner circle be the missing link?
Investigators are told by several people that Moody
had a girlfriend for the last few years
named Angel Vause.
[Kin] She said that Moody, Raymond,
had fantasies about kidnapping girls off the sidewalk,
about hanging people up and gutting them.
I mean, it was as if she was admitting it, that he did it
without coming out and saying it.
It was just highly suspect.
[Det. Hanna] She did reveal that Raymond Moody
would beat her and he would tie her up.
He even threatened her to the point
that if she tried to leave him, that she could possibly end up
like the girl from the beach.
But she never would tell us
anything concrete that he had done
that could link him to Brittanee Drexel.
The interview with Angel
doesn't give them what they need,
but it only strengthens their resolve.
Raymond Moody is still the one they're after.
So the police decide to change tactics.
They set aside the dead-end conversations
and focus on something that can't lie...
evidence.
A few months after the interview with Angel, we obtained
a search warrant for a motel room,
south of Georgetown, where Moody had rented
during the time that Brittanee disappeared.
The hope is that needle in a haystack,
that maybe there's something there
that connects Brittanee to the room at Sunset Lodge...
one of the places that Ray Moody was staying at.
Police searched a motel in Georgetown County today
for evidence related to the Brittanee Drexel case.
SLED crime scene technicians,
with help from Myrtle Beach Police
and the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office,
searched an apartment at the Sunset Lodge,
south of Georgetown today.
[Kin] Hair, DNA, fibers, clothing, whatever.
Even though it had been a couple years,
you still can't give up.
[Chad] I didn't go to sleep.
I had the feeling of, "Maybe they're gonna catch him."
Investigators are sure Ray Moody holds
the final piece of the puzzle
to Brittanee Drexel's disappearance.
But just as their focus sharpens,
a new name surfaces,
unraveling the case in ways no one could see coming.
Determined to uncover a link
to Brittanee Drexel's disappearance,
South Carolina law enforcement comb through every inch
of Ray Moody's former apartment at Sunset Lodge.
With a search warrant in hand, they meticulously catalog
each item, eager to find the piece of forensic evidence
that ties Moody to Brittanee once and for all.
[Tarah] You don't want to give up on Brittanee
'cause you're all she has.
Unfortunately, no evidence was found to help
link Brittanee Drexel to being in that room.
I was still hopeful somebody's gonna slip up eventually,
somebody's gonna say something.
In 2015, desperate to salvage their credibility
after the Timothy Shaun Taylor misstep, the FBI convenes
a fresh task force dedicated to Brittanee's disappearance.
A year ticks by as they meticulously
sift through six years of evidence.
Then, in June 2016, they call a press conference
to unveil a major breakthrough.
The investigation now is that Brittanee Drexel
did leave the Myrtle Beach area.
We believe she traveled to this area
around McClellanville,
and we believe she was killed after that.
The investigators are certain that that's what's happened.
[Casey] I couldn't accept the fact that she was gone.
I remember thinking, "How do you know she's dead
if we don't have remains"?
I need your help in bringing the people responsible
to justice.
[voice breaking] We need everyone's help
to bring her home to us.
We need your help.
Two months later, law enforcement
reveals information that family and friends
have been eagerly anticipating for seven years.
They finally have a suspect.
The real shock comes next, the man's name.
The federal authorities announced that the suspect is
Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor.
[Tarah] The Taylor name was familiar.
We had heard this name before back in 2010
with the attempted abduction in Myrtle Beach.
And that was...
Timothy Shaun Taylor, the father...
of Da' Shaun Taylor.
We are wondering where this information had come from.
This information came from a jailhouse informant
by the name of Taquan Brown.
[Jimmy] Taquan Brown was, and is, currently in prison
on a 25-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter.
Taquan Brown claims to have crossed paths
with Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor and Brittanee Drexel
at a stash house in McClellanville,
a quiet shrimping village
about 60 miles south of Myrtle Beach.
The house, a suspected hub for drug deals,
held secrets as murky as the surrounding marshes.
Brown says that while he was at the stash house
in McClellanville,
that she was sexually assaulted.
She ran away, that she was caught,
pistol-whipped...
and brought back to the stash house,
but that he was out of the room when he heard two shots.
[Tarah] And later he saw them roll up a carpet
or a bloody carpet, assuming her body was in it.
And it was taken and dumped into an alligator pit.
[suspenseful music playing]
There's nothing in my brain that can accept that
as something other people do to the human bei -- to anybody.
But with little evidence to hold
Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor
and no legal grounds for questioning,
law enforcement tries a different tactic,
an ethically questionable one at that.
[Jimmy] Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor was arrested
for a 2011 charge by the federal prosecutors
and the federal police.
And it was for a burglary, and they used that
in order to question him for Brittanee's case,
which was a very interesting legal move in and of itself.
[reporter] This morning, Timothy Taylor headed into federal court.
Taylor faced 20 years in prison for a crime
he'd already been sentenced for in state court.
The Feds used his armed robbery charge as leverage
for information in an unrelated case,
Brittanee Drexel's disappearance.
She went missing during a spring break trip
to Myrtle Beach in 2009.
This was an unusual case of dual prosecution
on federal and state levels.
[Tarah] Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor claimed from day one
that he had nothing to do with Brittanee's disappearance.
[Casey] And he even went on "Dr. Phil."
And it was hard for me watching that,
'cause I saw how adamant he was about being innocent.
I didn't pick her up. I never saw her,
besides seeing her on TV and the Internet
through a computer screen.
So when they read it out, it was like,
it was unbelievable. It did not happen.
[Tarah] Why were they not arresting him for her kidnapping?
If he did this, why were they not arresting him
for her murder?
After seven years, one thing remains painfully clear.
No one knows or is willing to admit
what happened to Brittanee Drexel.
As her family grapples with the agonizing reality
of an open case, a twist of fate
will steer the investigation down a harrowing path.
[intriguing music playing]
With jailhouse informant Taquan Brown's statement
as their cornerstone, the FBI zeroes in on
Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor as their prime suspect
in Brittanee Drexel's murder.
But there is one glaring fact they can't ignore.
[Det. Hanna] It didn't make sense to me.
Brittanee was a healthy, strong, young girl.
Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor, he only had one arm.
And I found it hard to believe that this one-armed person
could grab this girl off this sidewalk
[Jimmy] Mr. Taylor is under all kind of scrutiny
throughout the community, throughout the media.
Mr. Brown, in a prison interview,
tells the media, "I made it all up.
That didn't happen."
[Kin] Jailhouse informants are not always
the most credible witnesses,
I mean, most of the time, it's not good information.
With no concrete evidence
linking him to Brittanee's disappearance,
law enforcement has no choice but to let
Timothy Da' Shaun Taylor walk free.
I can't say I'm sorry enough because the FBI won't.
FBI destroyed a family, the Taylor family.
He destroyed their name.
I'm still so sorry for what they went through.
[Casey] Ten-year mark was very difficult for me.
There've been millions of milestones
literally just stolen from her.
She wasn't there for the birth of my child.
[Tarah] I've become comfortable with the fact
that I may not ever find answers.
You move on, but you never forget.
[intriguing music playing]
In 2019, a new FBI task force is formed,
determined to unravel the mystery
of Brittanee's disappearance.
For years, the case has been mired in dead ends.
But now, they finally get the break
they've been waiting for.
[Kin] Ten years, technology has gotten better.
So they had equipment at the FBI headquarters
that could better analyze old traffic-cam video footage.
[Victoria] So agents on the case go back to the traffic-cam footage
to see where Brittanee was walking on Ocean Boulevard,
and they hone in on a vehicle.
An SUV that they believed might be involved in the case.
[Det. Hanna] The vehicle they suspect that Brittanee Drexel was in
matched the description of a vehicle that
belonged to Angel Vause's brother.
Angel Vause,
once the girlfriend of Raymond Moody,
a man police suspected but could never pin down.
Eight years ago, they hoped she'd be the one
to turn on him, but the connection never came.
[Jimmy] This new group took all of the information
that was collected, not only from Brittanee's cellphone,
but also from the cell towers and the footage,
and reviewed all of that basically at the same time.
They blended them all together.
And dang if that ain't the vehicle
coming through there, registered to Angel's brother.
[Victoria] This could potentially put both Angel Vause and Raymond Moody
in the same place at the same time
as Brittanee Drexel.
[Kin] There's no way Brittanee got in that car voluntarily.
It was by force...
and it was violent.
[Det. Hanna] The FBI knew that with Raymond Moody's history,
that he wasn't going to cooperate,
so obviously he would use the weakest link.
And Angel Vause is clearly the weakest link.
That's when they went back and interviewed her.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Victoria] On April 27, 2022, Angel Vause again finds herself
in an interview room
with the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office.
[Chad] At this point, this is years after.
You just want to find something to bring closure.
Eleven years has passed.
She's 54 years old.
Angel was a practical nurse in Georgetown.
Angel was still with Ray.
They were living together on Rose Hill Road in Georgetown.
And she verified, "That's my brother's vehicle."
[Det. Hanna] She was real happy, cheerful and chatty
up until they mention Brittanee Drexel.
And once they mention her name, that's when her defenses go up,
her body language changes.
Her voice becomes agitated.
She really is trying to protect Ray.
Angel's interview leaves agents frustrated.
But just as things seem to stall,
something completely unexpected happens.
[Jimmy] I got a call from a defense attorney.
He said that he had a client,
and that client wanted to confess.
Horry County Solicitor Jimmy Richardson's phone rings.
It's a call that will finally unravel the mystery
of Brittanee Drexel's disappearance.
The question that's lingered in the shadows
since April 25th, 2009.
A man walked into the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office
and surprised everyone.
He told them that he knew where Brittanee Drexel's body was.
That person was Ray Moody.
[indistinct chatter]
Law enforcement is relieved to finally secure a confession
from the man many had in their cross hairs since
the beginning of Brittanee Drexel's disappearance.
[indistinct chatter]
Raymond Moody, once the picture of health and composure,
now seems almost unrecognizable,
his physical state a shadow of what it once was.
He was never gonna admit it unless there was some reason
for him to.
Was it guilt finally surfacing?
Or had he simply reached his limit?
Haunted by the weight of a truth
he could no longer bury.
[Kin] What really changed was Moody's health.
And when he figured out that his health was bad
and they were gonna threaten to charge Angel,
he decided he was gonna...
still be in control, and he was gonna take the rap for it.
[sinister music playing]
According to Raymond Moody's account,
it all started innocently enough.
He and his girlfriend, Angel Vause,
borrowed her brother's SUV.
From there, the night took a dark turn.
[Kin] I don't believe a word of that.
Brittanee Drexel would've never gotten in that car voluntarily.
She was taken by force.
I believe that night Raymond Moody
was out with Angel Vause and they were doing their thing
looking for someone to hurt.
The unlikely trio makes their way
toward the desolate Pole Boat Yard Landing.
Sometime along the way,
Angel exits the scene, leaving Brittanee alone
in the company of the devil himself.
[Jimmy] As he was raping her, she was fighting back,
and his first thought after all of this was over is,
"She is going to tell
and I'm gonna go back to prison for rape."
[Kin] He killed her because he kidnapped her and raped her.
He wanted to eliminate the evidence.
[Det. Hanna] He learned from that long stint in prison
what to do and what not to do.
And then he buried her.
[solemn music playing]
Now this site is maybe two miles from the Sunset Lodge
where he was staying in 2009 when Brittanee went missing.
[Chad] I had years worth of being so disappointed
and then all of a sudden everything stopped.
And that's a sense of closure I got.
So that's when...
yeah.
Yeah, that's "the finally."
Patience and, yeah.
I don't know.
It's tough.
I -- I just, I prayed.
[deep exhale]
[Jimmy] It turns out Ray Moody
was a evil predator that stalked the streets
of Myrtle Beach looking for unsuspecting teenage girls.
Twelve days after what would have been
Brittanee Drexel's 31st birthday,
Ray Moody faces formal charges at last.
Murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault.
[Kin] Finally, some closure for everybody.
Investigators, family, you know, friends
that had suffered all these years wondering,
wanting to know what happened to Brittanee.
Such a senseless act that affected so many people
and so many lives.
Brittanee is forever frozen at 17.
[Tarah] I want Brittanee to be remembered
as the beautiful soul that she was,
the compassion and the kindness
that she carried with her.
I don't want her to be only thought of as a victim.
I ask you, Judge Cothran, to sentence Raymond Moody
to the fullest extent of the law.
The defendant was and is, and I'm sorry,
a perverted, sick monster,
that this should never happen to anyone ever again.
[Jimmy] Ray Moody got life imprisonment for the murder.
And then the judge gave him a consecutive 30 years,
which was the maximum for the rape.
And he gave him an additional 30 years on the kidnapping,
which was the maximum. So he got life, plus 60 years.
I was glad that that monster was going to be behind bars
for the rest of his life.
[Chad] I felt good that we got closure there.
He deserves to be tortured, but hopefully God does that.
[Kin] Brittanee's case made me want to hold my children closer,
appreciate them, warn them about things I know about.
Young people, they don't know
the evil that lurks out there.
It makes you wary of the world around you.
[Jimmy] Every community can have a dark side,
including Myrtle Beach.
None of us are immune from that.
Evil people lurk, and they don't always
have horns and a tail, and that's scary.

"I am your God."
These people were plotting.
They were predators.
