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).

Hearing in teen murder postponed by sickness of defense lawyer's kin
(Published in the Asbury Park Press 08/30/05)
TOMS RIVER — A medical emergency in the family of the lawyer representing Jack Fuller, the man accused of killing 16-year-old Brittney Gregory last year, caused the judge to postpone Fuller's court appearance Monday.
Executive Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Robert A. Gasser said Fuller's attorney, John O. Goins, had an emergency in his family and could therefore not appear before Superior Court Judge Vincent J. Grasso on Monday morning. As of Monday afternoon, Gasser said the appearance had not been rescheduled.
Executive Assistant Ocean County Prosecutor Ronald F. DeLigny said last week that he expected scheduling issues to be discussed.
One thing that must be scheduled before the case goes to trial is a hearing at which Dr. Hydow Park, the Atlantic County medical examiner who performed the autopsy on the Brick teenager, will be asked to discuss his findings. Goins has filed a motion asking Grasso to bar the prosecution from presenting any argument that Gregory may have been strangled or suffocated.
Gregory was reported missing by her family on July 11, 2004. Fuller was arrested seven days later. The victim's body was found 16 days later in a shallow grave under a power line off Ridge Avenue in Lakewood, about 1 1/2 miles from Fuller's home and not far from where Gregory lived with her father.
