Brittanee Drexel Joins A Growing List Of Missing Children? Update 4-13-10







Brittanee Drexel is not just a statistic. She is a 17-year-old New York girl who disappeared south of Myrtle Beach while on spring break. She is a girl who needs to be found. Her last location (south of Myrtle Beach was determined from her last cell phone ping. Georgetown County Sheriff Lane Cribb told the press Saturday that neither Brittanee nor her cell phone have been located. Dogs, helicopters, boats and foot patrols have all failed to find Brittanee.

The 17 year-old high school student vanished during a spring break trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. a week ago. Brittanee joins a growing list of missing children: Missing! Brittanee was last seen nearly a week ago after she left a group of friends who had traveled from Rochester, N.Y. Brittanee was suppose to be visiting another group at a different hotel when she disappeared. The possibility of Brittanee running away has not been completely discounted. Brittanee's mother told authorities that an impending family divorce may have caused her daughter to be depressed. Most suspect foul play or an accident. Regardless, if any one sees, a young woman matching Britanee's appearance, please contact authorities.
Update 4-13-10: Lt. Neil Johnson, a Georgetown County Sheriff's Office spokesman, is hinting that more recent information leads authorities to believe that Brittanee is dead. Johnson cautions that they still don't have enough information to make an arrest but clearly there are one or more individuals that the police are interested in talking to again. In the meantime, some of the family members have returned to South Carolina where Brittanee was last seen.

Cell phones can be helpful when tracing missing people. But they can also be a liability. This is what happened to me:

I stop at a rest area and head to the restroom..

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:

"Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don't know what got into me, but I answered, some what embarrassed,
"Doin' just fine!"

And the other person says:

"So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.

"Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them

"No..I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the person say nervously.... "Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions"

Brittanee Drexel was last seen leaving the Bluewater Resort, captured on surveillance video. She had apparently visited a group of Rochester-area men after having a falling out with the friends she'd drove down with.

Her family has expressed concerns about the five young men. One was friends with Drexel before the trip, but police said none of them are suspects at this time.

"Nobody's been cleared," Myrtle Beach Police Capt. David Knipes told ABCNews.com. "You don't clear anybody until the case is closed."
