Hi, Grime Junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today takes place in small-town Winsboro, Texas, where everybody knows everybody. Or at least they think they do.
Who were the key people involved in Brittany's last day?
You know who's trouble. You know who's got a temper. Who to tell your teen daughter to stay away from. So when a 19-year-old's found dead in her boyfriend's bed, it doesn't feel random. You can practically hear the gossip at the gas pump, in the church parking lot, echoing through the checkout line. There are men with motive, men with violent pasts, men the town already talks about. But here is the thing I'm hung up on. Only a handful of them even knew where she would be that day. And when the circle is that small, someone inside it knows exactly what happened. This is the story of Brittany McGlone.
It's mid-afternoon on May 4th, 2007, when mom Patricia gets a call from her daughter's boyfriend, Jeff Stogner. And that alone is kind of strange because Patricia is not exactly Jeff's biggest fan. So they've never been like on casual calling terms. But she answers anyway to a concerned Jeff asking, have you heard from Brittany?
What evidence was found at the crime scene?
And Patricia's like, what do you mean? Have I heard from her? She's supposed to be staying with you. But he's saying that he left early that morning to pick up his grandma a couple of hours away. And every time he tried to reach Brittany, she hadn't been picking up her cell. Whatever is happening feels wrong to Patricia. So they hang up and she tries Brittany's cell over and over. But she's not answering for mom either. So she ends up calling Jeff back. And as she does, it sounds like he's pulling up to his house. And he gives her the last moment of relief she may ever have. Because he says, never mind. Her truck is still outside the house. She must just be sleeping really hard. And this is at what time?
This is like 3.30 in the afternoon. Oh. But Brittany just had worked an overnight shift at the Lowe's distribution center. So like normally when she gets off sometime before like 5 a.m., she would like go home, shower, sleep, maybe see Jeff later. But this day was different. So instead of going home first, she went straight to Jeff so that they could hang out a little bit before he had to go pick up his grandma.
So it seems like it would be normal for her to like sleep in. Yeah, she worked overnight. I guess why is he calling her mom so soon then?
Well, so yes, normal for her to sleep in because she could have used the extra sleep, but she rarely got it. So in addition to her overnight job, she also had one at this place called Alco, which is a discount store. and she was doing both jobs because she planned to save up money for nursing school. So, again, could have used the sleep, but it was pretty unlike her to be asleep like that all day, which it seems is maybe what made Jeff concerned enough to call her mom to begin with.
How did the investigation unfold after Brittany's murder?
And it turns out he had every right to be concerned because when Jeff walks into his bedroom, Brittany is still in his bed where he says he left her, but she is not sleeping. Brittany is completely naked and there is blood everywhere, on the sheets, on the pillow, cast off on the wall behind the bed, like the kind of pattern you would see when someone is struck over and over again.
