As Wood County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Captain Mike Chilson continued looking at the 2007 murder of 19-year-old Brittany McGlone, evidence against the prime suspect was stacking up to the point where an arrest seemed imminent. Chilson discovered physical evidence that was hard to ignore and reinterviewed witnesses who’d had some fairly damning recollections of the suspect on that terrible day. By the end of August 2022, Captain Chilson felt he had enough to make an arrest. And so did a Wood County judge. The suspect was found and arrested in Dallas. But 89 days after that arrest, a grand jury decided, seemingly with a nudge from the Wood County DA, that there was not enough evidence. The three-time convicted and violent felon was set free and justice for Brittany McGlone was once again in limbo. To this day, the district attorney has offered no explanation or even placation to Brittany’s family. Part 3 of 3.
