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).

Jack Fuller admits murdering Brittney Gregory

A 39-year-old Howell man today admitted murdering 16-year-old Brittney Gregory of Brick, for the first time shedding light on what happened to the straight-A student who went missing on July 11, 2004.
Jack Fuller pleaded guilty to the murder before Superior Court Judge Vincent J. Grasso in a courtroom filled with the victim's relatives.
Many of them were quietly sobbing as Fuller, answering questions posed by his attorney, admitted that he punched the teen ""at least twice'' in the head when she asked him not to smoke crack in front of her. Then, she fell unconscious while Fuller continued to smoke the crack, he said. When he was done getting high, he realized the girl was lifeless, Fuller admitted.
Fuller faces 30 years without parole when he is sentenced by Grasso on Jan. 13.
News of Gregory's disappearance dominated news for weeks and prompted hundreds of law enforcement officers to search for her. The search ended July 27, 2004, when the girl's body was found in a shallow grave, just under a power line off Ridge Avenue in Lakewood, near where she lived with her father, Joseph Dunn, in Brick, and about 1 miles from Fuller's home in Howell.
