Plot Synopsis
Directed, produced and edited by Thomas Leader, MONSTER IN THE SHADOWS is a three-part documentary that explores several theories of what happened to Brittney Wood, whose disappearance shocked and captivated the entire state of Alabama in 2012. This series reveals the horrific truth that Brittney's family was hiding. One by one, her family were arrested for crimes against children, including their own children, in one of Alabama's largest incest rings. Two hours before Brittney's favorite uncle, Donnie, was due to meet with police to explain his sex crimes, he put a .25 to his head and pulled the trigger in the woods of Alabama. The gun was Brittney's and she hasn't been seen since. Brittney had just found out that her uncle was abusing his daughter -- so she took her handgun and went to confront him.
Brittney's mother Chessie continues the search for her daughter after the police investigation. As active leads still come in, she takes viewers on the journey with her. She has compiled her own case file which she is opening for the first time to show her evidence -- which she believes points to a killer in their family. This series is told by those still living this nightmare, from Brittney's disappearance, through every twist and turn, up to the end of the line for the huge family of criminals as they were imprisoned for horrific crimes. Will anybody ever discover what happened to Brittney?
