Investigators in South Carolina are receiving new leads in the disappearance of Brittanee Drexel, a 17-year-old girl who went missing from the Myrtle Beach area while she was on spring break vacation in 2009.
Drexel, who was originally from New York, was last seen leaving the Blue Water Resort in April 2009. She never returned to the motel she’d been staying in, causing her alarmed friends to eventually call the police.
Her cell phone last gave off a signal later that month, on April 26, 2009, in nearby Georgetown County, South Carolina. In the 13 years since the teenager’s abrupt disappearance, her whereabouts have never been determined, nor has a body or other evidence ever been discovered.
