The family of Brianna Parish hopes something good will eventually come out of their loss. Brianna's sister, Miranda, is building a new website to warn young people about the dangers of going out alone at night. The informational website will be called "Brianna's Bond."

"I don't want this to ever happen to anyone else," says Miranda. "I never imagined my little sister would be taken away from me like this."

The website could be up and running in a few days.

"Stay together. Stay together no matter where you are," says Miranda.

The Parish family has set up a trust fund in Brianna's name at Region's Bank. Donations to help fund the "Brianna's Bond" website can be made at any Region's branch.

Meanwhile, investigators in Daphne are working new leads in the murder investigation. At least three businesses near the Bay House Pub have turned over surveillance video to detectives. We spoke to a business owner who gave his security footage to police. The man did not want to be identified.

"I hope it has exactly what they need on it to help them out and solve the case. I feel bad for the family and of course, for her, too. Something like this is scary to me as a father and a business owner. I have two daughters and anything I can do to help out, I promise I will."

Brianna Parish went missing from a Daphne bar last week. Three days later, her partially clothed body was found near a waste-water treatment plant on Main Street. Authorities have named Troy MacDonald as a person of interest in Brianna's death, but MacDonald has not been arrested or officially been labeled a suspect.

Makes ya wonder if Alabama is outsourcing DNA work to India or Pakistan!  Press zero to talk to a real person that does can only read from a script and doesn’t have a clue WTH anyone in this country is talking about…...

Yea I am ready for an update also…..DNA doesnt’ take that long to come back. This is insane.

Report Abuse

I’m around.  Nothing being reported about this in the local media and I guess everyone is just waiting for some DNA results.  As far as I know, there is still just the one person of interest.  If that falls through, I guess the local cops will have egg on their faces and no leads.

What has happened 2 every 1? Did we put Bri on the back burner???  r we focusing on the election too much?  They r not working on what happened 2 Bri and why someone felt the need 2 take her young, beautiful, innocent body…abuse it and then KILL her. We all have said that we would not let this go unsolved.  We need 2 stir the pot n get refocused on our local issues.  I think it’s time 2 turn up the heat on some people 4 more info. The family still suffers greatly and is empty hearted and handed. We can’t bring Bri back, but we can help put info into their hands.  Society has a way of making things happen. Let’s do it!!! BamaBob,where r u, I need your help!

Rose, depends on what they are trained to track. My girl will target or “find” human remains, the other is better at live scent. You can train them to pick up anything, jsut some are better at certain things and specific tasks. Tracking or trailing a scent, like you see bloodhounds do, is a whole other field.

Interesting idea you have. The dog that does that would have to start with the suspect’s scent… then go from there.. I don’t see how it could be admissible in court.

Report Abuse

The register is reporting that Daphne PD is saying they know the cause of death but aren’t releasing it.  ?????

Report Abuse

I’m lost.  Who is texting?

Report Abuse

hey southfan, was jsut hoping you would come over here.  i have a question for you. i know you train for search and rescue. is this possible?

now if the search dogs used to track miss parish scent, couldnt they be used to see if that guy’s scent was in the area where her body was found?

Report Abuse

The family has a very good idea. Like the buddy system in diving, this could save lives or at least help women realize there are dangers and they are at risk. It’s a miracle horrid things like this don’t happen more often.

A thanks to posters who write out their comments. I don’t know how we are supposed to read and interpret some of these personalized tag, text-like abreviations. I like being able to figure out what someone is trying to say without having to re-read it again and again.

Report Abuse

DEW-  go to nbc 15 online and search the news this week (can’t remember the day) for “DNA backlog”.  They did a segment on this and commented that the Baldwin County DA had asked the AL dept of forenics to expedite Brianna’s stuff.
