Brittanee Marie Drexel, missing since 4/25/09 from Myrtle Beach, SC

[cookie]

Agree Cookie.   Maybe she didn't want to go home.   If mom and dad are divorcing, and mom is out partying now - and B has to babysit all the time, then maybe she just decided to split and have fun.    Her mom did say that she is the oldest of her children.   Did she ever say how many other children were in the household?   Her mom looks like a partyer to me.  just sayin....    I sure hope no foul play is involved.

could be....since she is the eldest, she may get stuck staying with the younger kids...even when or if mom is working....Not sure how many kids are in the house...B probably has a lot more responsibility than she had before the split? dunno...
Maybe this will bring her parents back together or at least make them closer....It is rough for kids nowadays to go through parents divorcing, all the peer pressure etc...
darling girl...hope she is found safe!

I can't put too much stock into the 'sighting'. There are a boat load of girls down there that fit her description.....

I'm back to - WHY IN THE HECK WOULD SOMEONE LEAVE 2 AM, LEAVE A $100 ROOM DEPOSIT AND HIGH-TAIL IT BACK 17 HOURS if he had nothing to do with Brittanee's disappearance?

Exactly.

Exactly. 

Hi Muffy.. hope you're doing well!!

Well, here it is again.

Another missing person case on day 5 and still not completely being investigated as a possible homicide.

There are very few reports and I have seen nothing about any cars being confiscated.

Very odd behavior I must agree Rob.  He could have left a couple of hours earlier and saved a whole day's charges.

I do hope they have his car in custody as well.

times awasting! they need to get going on the car thing especially and this kid who left the hotel at that hour....something is not right ...we all know it...

REMINDER:  Be careful judging people by how they look.  This is the mother of a missing young lady.  Personally, I find it hard to believe she's riding the bus back and forth and not letting anyone know she's OK.  I don't think she is OK.

[Anna]

Rob,

And once again, it's another tourist destination.  Would the MBPD be the ones to declare it homicide or something other than missing person case? 

Maybe the FBI will add that part about believed to have met with foul play or endangered.

I hope at least the car is being watched.  And hope they do not drag their feet hoping to prevent bad PR for beach season.

[Anna]

I am beginning to think it is very bad luck to have "Marie" as a middle name!

I think "Marie" is a lovely middle name.  And I don't think luck  nor a middle name has anything to do with Brittanee Marie Drexel being missing.   My hope is if her family or friends read here, they won't take your comment wrong, Anna. They may feel sensitive about her name.  Knowing you as I do from posting with you for a number of years, I feel you are a good and caring person.  Just clarifying, in case one who knows Brittanee reads here.  JMHO

I was hoping it was her but I figured it probably wasn't.  That would have been to good to be true.

I'm a bitl confused about this guy.  Is he an ex-boyfriend?  Did she know him before or did she just meet him? 

I agree with Rob...by leaving like he did, he raised HUGE red flags.

Woman spotted on bus not missing teen

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Myrtle Beach Police confirmed Thursday that a woman seen on a bus from Georgetown to Myrtle Beach Wednesday is not a missing teenager.

Police said witnesses spotted Brittanee Drexel, 17, a Rochester, NY girl, getting off a bus at First Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

"We can confirm that this woman is not Ms. Drexel," Capt. David Knipes said in a press release. "Even though this lead did not pan out, we are still hopeful that we locate Ms. Drexel safe and sound."

Knipes said the department is continuing to investigate all leads, and encourage anyone with information to call them at 843-918-1952 or 918-1382.

Relatives of the girl handed out flyers to local residents Tuesday in hopes of tracking down the teen who was last seen on Saturday.

So far, both police and relatives have come up empty handed.

Investigators from the Myrtle Beach Police Department met with a family friend of Drexel on Saturday upon the request of the girl's mother. John Hahn says he last made contact with Drexel on Saturday around 8 p.m.

Police say that's around the same time a group of men from her hometown last saw the missing teen, as well. Police continue to question Pete Broswick, Phillip Watson, Matthew Abrams and Keith Cummings after meeting Drexel at Club Kryptonite on Friday evening.

Questioning has revealed Drexel made additional contact with the group of men at an area of beach near the Blue Water Resort around 11 a.m. Saturday. Drexel met the group a second time in their hotel room later that night.

Broswick told police Drexel was involved in an argument with a friend over a pair of shorts she was wearing. Broswick reports Drexel had left his hotel room to return the clothing Saturday evening, and contact was lost with the teen after she left.

Dawn Drexel tells WMBF News that she isn't pointing fingers yet, but thinks Broswick may know something investigators don't.

"To me, I think he knows something," she commented Tuesday evening. "Something's just not right."

Drexel is described by the Myrtle Beach Police Department as 5 feet tall and 103 pounds. She is said to have shoulder-length straight brown hair with blue eyes.

Drexel was last seen wearing a multi-colored shirt, black shorts and flip flops. Police have noted the teen suffers from depression.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Drexel is asked to contact the Myrtle Beach Police Department immediately.

IIRC they are from the same hometown.  I don't believe that they were boyfriend/girlfriend but they new each other before this trip.
