It was a date Britney Tavar have been preparing for for over a year July 7, 2010.

The day she planned to stand before a judge had the synogistine Florida courthouse to present evidence that would hopefully grant her request for a permanent restraining order against her nemesis.

Britney told friends she had been building the case against her neighbor at a fear for her safety.

So when she never showed up at the courthouse that day, those who loved Britney knew something was wrong.

An instinct later confirmed after Britney's home was found empty and spotless with the unmistakable scent of bleach lingering in the air.

It appeared 45-year-old Britney Tavar had vanished along with her two beach on free stocks.

Her Toyota Rev 4 was also gone, leading everyone to initially believe she'd just taken off.

Join me now as we explore the disappearance of Britney Tavar, who had hopes of settling down in a peaceful ocean-side community,

only to find yourself caught up in a year and a half long feud, and a life turned upside down.

You'll discover how one woman's generosity and kind heart were ultimately used against her, and how detectives eventually put the pieces together to find out where Britney Tavar had gone.

Located an hour's drive north of Daytona Beach sits in Augustine, a city on the eastern coast of Florida, a beach town,

adorned with cobblestone streets, and several beautiful beaches to explore.

The perfect place it seemed for an independent woman like Britney Tavar to put down her roots.

Throughout her life, Britney never worried about money.

Thanks to a trust fund set up by her family, Britney could take up hobbies, pursue careers in acting and modeling, or go on any vacation or heart desired.

And because her family was scattered throughout the US, Britney wasn't tied to one place and could live pretty much anywhere.

But it was in her late 40s that Britney decided it was time to create a real home for herself, and a lovely house on South Beach drive in St. Augustine, Florida.

Seemed like the perfect place, a quiet residential street, just a three minute walk from the sandy shores of Volano Beach.

Just north of Britney's home was the Oceanfront Serenade Beach Club, an exclusive club providing its members with private access to Ponta Vietra Beach,

along with all the amenities of a luxury vacation, all just an hour's drive away.
