In 2012, 19-year-old Brittney Wood vanished from her home in Mobile, Alabama and what followed was unlike anything investigators expected. Her disappearance cracked open a disturbing case involving alleged incest, child sexual abuse, and a multigenerational sex ring operating across Baldwin and Mobile Counties. Within days, the last person seen with Brittney was found dead from a gunshot wound ruled a suicide... just hours before he was due to be questioned by investigators.

In this week’s Dead Diary, we go deep into the unsolved mystery of Brittney Wood, the sickening allegations against her extended family, and the unresolved questions that still haunt this case over a decade later. Was Brittney on the verge of exposing a criminal conspiracy? And why has justice taken so long?
