Bryon Drennan Killed His Wife…Or Did He?
December 1, 2008 by Lizard
Bryon Drennan; Stefanie Casey
Williamson, NY – On Thanksgiving, the mother of Bryon Drennan, 36, called police to report that he and his wife of one month were missing. Later in the day, Drennan returned to his parents’ home, where he and 28-year old Stefanie Casey had been living, and reported that everything was hunky dory. No need to worry, folks! He’d driven Casey in his maroon 2008 PT Cruiser to the airport so she could make an impromptu visit to family in Texas. After all, it’s no big deal to just walk into the airport on Thanksgiving and get a dirt-cheap seat on the very next flight to your destination of choice, right?
Except, of course, that’s not what really happened.
Lakewood Drive is just a short distance from the Drennan home; from the map I saw, part of it runs parallel to and very near Lake Ontario. The street ends in a cul de sac, which probably explains the quietness of the neighborhood and the alertness of the residents to unusual events. Police apparently received more than one call from area residents on Thanksgiving reporting “suspicious circumstances” involving a maroon PT Cruiser. For example, after observing a man in such a car carrying a white trash bag into the woods, a woman living on Townline Road sent her son out for a look-see. He found the bag, which contained, among other things, bloody clothes.
Police took Drennan in for questioning FridayFriday reviews
night. He admitted that things hadn’t been all lovey-dovey between him and Casey the day before, unless you count “I hit her with a 10-pound barbell plate” and “Then I stabbed her with a wooden heart” as the epitome of devotion. Whatever the case, Drennan insisted that although Casey was bleeding when he left her, she was alive and conscious. He declined to tell them where exactly it was that he left her, but my bet is the airport, because I really prefer to do my long-distance traveling when bloodied by an attack by my spousal unit using unlikely weapons (not to mention the awesome fares and ease of booking mentioned previously). Hoping for the best but fearing the worst, police arrested Drennan and charged him with assault.
SaturdaySaturday reviews
morning, police began searching the wooded areas near where the maroon car had been sighted on Thursday. Early that afternoon, they discovered the body of a woman covered with rocks near the shoreline of Lake Ontario and Lakewood Drive. While the body is believed to be that of Stefanie Casey, authorities are awaiting official confirmation, at which time additional charges are expected to be filed against Drennan.
There isn’t a lot of backstory out in the Webiverse regarding the couple, except that they’d met in Texas, known each other three or four months, and been married about a month. Casey was not employed at the time of her death, and it is believed Drennan was unemployed as well. There may have been previous signs of trouble, as media reports suggest that Drennan had previous domestic violence charges in Hawaii and Texas.
The truth of the matter is that Bryon Drennan almost certainly did kill Stefanie Casey. However, was Stefanie Casey his wife? A search of Denton County, Texas, court records shows that a Bryon D. Drennan filed for divorce from a Rhonda Drennan in AugustAugust reviews
of this year. The final hearing in the matter is scheduled for February 2009. Is Bryon Drennan a bigamist as well as a murderer, or was the marriage of Drennan and Casey a fairy tale told for unknown purposes?
Unamused Cat says, “Bah!” over in the forums.

This took place in New York, not Michigan. Lake Ontario is the only one of the Great Lakes that doesn’t touch Michigan.
Aside from that, great write-up.
What a slime-ball.

2 unemployed people, just married, barely know eachother…wonder what they were fighting about? Which led to murder? Hmmm…

D’OH! I almost want to go the Morbid route and say, “But I wrote New York”–but I’ll take the high road. The lake didn’t seem right, but it was the county that threw me off! Thank you, I’ve corrected it.

Are women really so desperate to be a “Mrs.” that they’ll marry anything that sports a dick? Just look at this man’s picture. Even if you glam him up in a wedding tux and throw a rosy veil of hormonal-love-cloud around him, he still looks like a dangerous half-wit intestinal worm.
I’m beginning to think that women need to avoid the mainstream media entirely except for factual news. The propaganda about winning a man and keeping a man and understand your nasty-acting incomprehensible man and being “attractive” for same is killing women. Get that social step up — sure he beats you, but he’s a husband in the home.
I’m not blaming this poor woman, but suggesting that she was a victim of more than just this guy.

Yes, unfortunately. And no one, I mean no one can change their brainwashed mind. I got out in time, lucky for me.

Yeah, I try really hard to not make assumptions based on photos, but she looks really nice and friendly, and he looks like he knows his way around a cell block.

How sad for her family and right around the holidays. Jeez, what a slime.

Doesn’t he know that suburban neighbors are the nosiest neighbors you can have? Doesn’t he know if they hear one car coming down the street they’ll look out their window. I know I do it.

I will never, EVER understand those who get married after mere months of knowing one another. Romantic? Nope, it’s really just reckless and moronic. My motto? “If we’re going to be together forever anyhow, what’s the rush?” (My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 9th anniversary on New Years.)
She didn’t deserve this, but she wasn’t exactly cautious, either.

I think the same way too. I was with my husband 7 + years before we got married and I knew him in high school. It rarely ends good. Personally I just think it’s not enough time to get to know one another. I really do hate that she paid for it with her life though…..

Okay – I have to admit that I was a 23 year old twit that married a guy after dating him for 9 months. I know all of my friends were in the back of the chapel in Vegas going “She is SOOOOOOOO knocked up”. Well, we didn’t have our son until we had been married for 3 years and we just had our 10th anniversary. Sometimes the crazy shit we do winds up being not so bad… I told my girlfriend that night we met him that I was going to marry him. I knew in my heart that my husband was a great guy. Super handsom. The whole package. No wonder I got swept off my feet… *swoon*

It is good to look before you leap.

@ April
Nine months is still almost three times as long as this couple had been together. Glad the fast track worked out for you; but it is not just for fun they say “marry in haste, repent at leisure”.

I was a silly 23 year old girl. Lucky for me, my husband is sweet and caring. I would NEVER recommend getting married before you have had a chance to get to know someone. I most certainly would NOT have married him after 3 months. I know my situation is not the “norm”.
5:17 pm on December 1st, 2008
Ditto. I really think me and my hubby were meant to be. Call me crazy all you want but I love the man with my entire heart. We got married after my daughter turned 3 months. By then, I had known him for a total of…..20 months….judge me all you want but we’re going on hmmmm, 3 1/2 years (2 of those married)together and enjoying every minute of it.

There had been previous incident of domestic abuse – Poor girl.

TWO previous cases of DV? And one on the honeymoon? That’s just so sad. I wish she’d had the wits about her to annul that marriage ASAP!
Unfortunately, some women are anxious to marry. Sometimes even just for the benefits, ya know, like insurance and whatnot. I only knew my husband for a bit over a year when we got married, at 19, he was 18. We’re still together today, going on 14 years in December. Sometimes, though, it isn’t always marriage. A boyfriend/girlfriend can very well turn on you in the same way.
I think it’s pretty awesome how the PT Cruiser came into play. And how the neighbor’s grandson loved them so, so that stuck in their mind, and they made that call. In times like this, I do wonder of divine intervention. But I’m chock full of cynicism and believe they were just at the very right place, at the right time.

Ooo, a murdering bigamist, how cliche.
What? Was this heart very sharp and skinny? Okaaay.

I know I’m waaaaay late on this, but . . . . . . she has (had) such a beautiful, warm smile. Really just a heartwarming smile. . . . . . . what a shame, what a shame (sigh). . . .

Actually, I went to school with this kid. He had anger management issues even then. (By the way, not to be picky, but Williamson, NY is in Wayne County. It is one town west of Sodus/Sodus Point and 45 or so minutes east of Rochester on the shore of Lake Ontario – I feel better).
The one thing I know about Bryon is that he was the class whipping boy. He spent most of his time with his head down, just trying to get from one class to another without being shoved into a locker or otherwise tormented by his less-than-kind classmates. They were jackals, and I’m not kidding. What makes kids form packs and hunt the weak? I don’t know. This is in NO WAY to be misconstrued as an excuse! He did what he did. He had choices, just like all of us every day, and he chose this violent route. He will pay for that, and he should. A woman is dead at his hands.
What really makes me sick is how all of these old classmates are on Facebook, dedicating a whole chat site to this subject, and saying nice things about him. What hypocrites!!! They never had a kind word or deed for that kid in thirteen years of school. Oh, and apparently they have all suddenly been born again, too. Seems most of them are “praying for him”. Yeah. Okay. Right. One of them actually ventured to say “I remember we weren’t always nice to Bryon and I wonder if that could have anything to do with the way he turned out”. Well, yes. I do believe he has always carried that hate. Next question? They make me sick. There is actually one who goes to visit this guy in jail and says he’s a harmless sweetheart (cuckoo!). She posts updates for all the classmates to ooh and aah over. She feels he was just a victim of circumstance and claims his wife was bi-polar. Hey, whatever gets you through the night, sweetheart. You can stand in line to be next if you want. Personally, I hope he hangs.
