Brown told the FBI that he assumed Taylor had shot Drexel, whose body was then wrapped and taken away, The Post and Courier reported.The FBI agent said several witness told investigators that Drexel’s body was put in a gator pit so it would be eaten, according to the report.Munoz reportedly testified that investigators have searched several alligator ponds to no avail. He said investigators have been told that the area is peppered with as many as 40 of these ponds.Munoz testified that another inmate corroborated Brown’s account, and told investigators that Taylor had picked Drexel up in Myrtle Beach and took her to McClellanville where she ended up in a sex trafficking situation.The Post and Courier reported that Drexel’s family could not be reached for comment on the new developments and the FBI would not comment on the testimony.Taylor's attorney said the testimony is a “squeeze-job” to force Taylor’s cooperation, the report said.A judge ordered Taylor released on $10,000 bail, which he posted later in the day after the bond hearing, The Post and Courier reported.Taylor’s mother, Joan Taylor, 44, of McClellanville, told The Post and Courier that the story is “craziness” and is being used by federal authorities anxious to solve the case.
