UPDATE: The Murder of Brittanee Drexel

This week, we are giving an update on the story of Brittanee Drexel. Since our last episode, there have been civil lawsuits as well as a new arrest. 

 

From the original episode: This week we are discussing Brittanee Drexel, a strong-minded and independent young woman whose life was taken by a man whom the police had suspected almost immediately after her disappearance, but he wouldn't be charged with her murder for over a decade.
