How did family of 'pedophiles' operate unnoticed for years? Social services under fire for not seeing 'ring of abuse' from eight members of the same Alabama family going back six years

• Authorities describe it as a dark, twisted tale of perversion in the family
• Brittney Wood, went missing in May 2012 and is presumed dead
• She first accused Ronald Robertson of rape in 2003 when she was 11
• The investigation mushroomed after she disappeared  
• Was with her uncle Donnie Holland, a suspect, the night she vanished 
• Eight of Woods' adult relatives and three family friends have been charged with dozens of felonies as alleged members of an incestuous ring 
• They include her mother, two uncles, two aunts and his older brother 
• Questions persist as to why child welfare services didn't respond to multiple complaints of sexual assault in the family going back six years 

 

 

 

By most accounts, 19-year-old Brittney Wood was with uncle Donnie Holland the night of May 30, 2012, the last time anyone saw her. 

Holland - who was under investigation for horrific sex crimes at the time - died from a bullet within days in what was ruled a suicide.

The investigation that followed has publicly unraveled what authorities describe as a dark, twisted tale of perversion in the working-class neighborhoods and piney backwoods of coastal Alabama.
