Brittney Kustes: Missing Teen May Be with Sex Offender Roy Elwell
Brittney Kustes: 19-Year-Old Missing for Over a Week
Brittney Kustes, a 19-year-old girl who has been missing for more than a week, may be with Roy Vernon Elwell, a convicted sex offender who is accused of abducting Kustes when she was 17.
Brittney Kustes Was Set to Testify Against Roy Vernon Elwell
According toBrittney's mother, Laurie Kustes, Brittney was supposed to testify against Elwell at his trial before she went missing on July 17 from her grandparents' house in Brooks, Kentucky. A friend, who was swimming with Kustes, said that Elwell was driving up and down the street before Kustes went missing.
"He's a pretty bad dude," Bullitt County Sheriff's Department Det. Scotty McGaha said. "He's a person of interest. We want to talk to him. We haven't been able to find him."
Brittney Kustes had met Roy Vernon Elwell when she was using methamphetamine, and Elwell held her against her will for several days. Kustes has since gotten clean, and her mother says she would never have gone anywhere with Elwell willingly.
"I just want my daughter back, and I want her safe, and nothing better be wrong with her," Brittney's mother Lori Kustes said in a press conference. "Brittney, if you're watching this or you can hear this, I love you, and we're going to find you and get you home."

This creep should have never ever been let out of jail. I hope Brittney is found safe and soon.
