Brittney Nicole Wood was only 19 when she vanished from Tillman’s Corner, Alabama, in 2012. What started as a missing persons case quickly unraveled into something far more horrifying.
Brittney wasn’t just missing—she was the key witness in a multi-generational family sex trafficking ring. A ring where eight of her own relatives were eventually arrested. This wasn’t rumor. This wasn’t speculation. These were proven crimes—acts of unspeakable abuse against children, some trafficked by the very people who should have protected them.
And then, just days after Brittney disappeared, her uncle—the last person she was known to visit—was found dead, a gunshot wound authorities ruled a suicide. A gun registered to Brittney herself.
In this episode of The Lost Girls Podcast, LaDonna Humphrey and Amy Smith expose the dark secrets that surrounded Brittney’s life, her disappearance, and the system that failed to protect her.
Because her story isn’t just rare—it’s tragically common.
And every girl deserves justice.
