Introduction
This blog is a tracking of the murder case of Brittney Gregory by Jack Fuller Jr. for those looking for information.
I had planned to cover the facts as they unfolded, piece together as much of the press and information as I can, since many of the sources of information are
either poorly linked, or disappear to archives (some paid).
At some point I still hope to get some, interviews with some of the players in this case,as well as Brittney's family and friends. I have opted not to even try up until now as I felt there were other places their attention needed to be focused.
While I tried to remain unbiased, once Fuller admitted to killing Brittney, it became impossible for me as a father of a young girl to be COMPLETELY "fair and balanced".
But despite that, all information that I uncover will be found here.
Please feel free to comment, but remain civil. (especially towards each other).

Man Pleads Not Guilty In Teen's Murder
(originally posted by 1010 WINS March 5, 2005)
(1010 WINS) (TOMS RIVER, N.J.) A man accused of killing his friend's 16-year-old daughter last summer has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
Jack Fuller, 39, was indicted last month in the murder of Brittney Gregory and entered his plea Friday. He has remained in jail for lack of $1 million bail since his arrest in July.
Gregory, a straight-A student at Brick Memorial High School who dreamed of becoming a forensic scientist, disappeared July 11 after she called her mother from her father's house and said she wanted a ride to her boyfriend's home.
Her mother told her that if she waited for about 45 minutes, her sister would give her a ride, but Brittney did not answer the phone later that night. Her body was found two weeks later beneath a power line tower in Lakewood.
Fuller, who was a friend of Gregory's father, has a history of drug and theft-related offenses. He had been released from prison in 2003.
If convicted, Fuller will not face the death penalty. A capital committee that reviewed the evidence against Fuller was not satisfied that any aggravating factors existed, authorities announced last month.
Under state law, aggravating factors may include whether the murder was committed during the commission of another crime such as a robbery, whether the victim was a child younger than 14 or whether the crime was a case of murder for hire, among others.
