ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Raymond Moody will serve a life sentence for the murder of Chili teen Brittanee Drexel 13 years ago.

Moody pleaded before a South Carolina judge on Wednesday, who sentenced him to life for murder, 30 years for criminal sexual conduct, and 30 years for kidnapping. It was his first court appearance since he was charged in May.

Investigators say Moody kidnapped and strangled Brittanee while she was on spring break in Myrtle Beach in April of 2009. This is the first time that we will have seen Raymond Moody in person.

The father, mother, brother, and grandmother of Drexel gave emotional victim impact statements after Moody pleaded guilty.

Chad, the father of Brittanee Drexel, spoke in the courtroom about what it felt like as the months turned to years since his daughter went missing. He described Drexel as someone who loved soccer and fashion.

Camden, the brother of Brittanee Drexel, said he is going to film school in honor of his sister who was murdered. “I want to live for her,” he said.

Dawn, the mother of Brittanee Drexel, said she wears Brittanee Drexel’s ashes and her picture in a necklace to celebrate her life.

62-year-old moody is a convicted child rapist who spent two decades in prison. In May of this year, we were there as Brittanee’s remains were located in a wooded area in Georgetown about 45 minutes south of Myrtle Beach. Investigators told us then that it was Moody that directed them to her body.
