    I saw an ad for Maury tomorrow (yes, I watch Maury. I love seeing the dance moves guys come up with when they find out they have not fathered a child) and Brittanee's mom is going to be on. Not sure if the same episode airs in different places, but thought I'd post.

    Im watching this now. The stories are sad, but they are totally exploiting the culture of fear. This correspodent is basically telling us to be scared of walking down the street. Yes, bad stuff happens but we can't live paralyzed.
    Your whole life you can be told something is wrong and so you believe it...

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    Up-date - Possible break in Brittanee Drexel case.

    Three (with possible fourth) persons of interest identified. Unfortunately, based on new leads, Investigators are leaning towards the strong possibility that foul play was involved in her disappearance and this will be a homicide investigation.

    WPDE-TV, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) -- Investigators in the case of missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel say they've developed three, possibly four, persons of interest in connection to the teen's disappearance.

    &quot;The people we're looking at, I feel really good about because all of our little pieces of evidence ... they're all pointing in the same direction towards certain people,&quot; Myrtle Beach Detective Vincent Dorio said Friday.

    Drexel, 17 at the time of her disappearance, vanished April 25, 2009, from Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach.

    In the first few days following her disappearance, investigators tracked Drexel's cell phone signals to an area near the South Santee Community in Georgetown County.

    Dozens of searches over the past year provided no clues, and at one point last fall, detectives described the case as becoming cold.

    But Georgetown County Investigator Chris Bailey says that all changed during the holidays.

    &quot;I think the tip I received in the first part of December was the big turn around,&quot; Bailey said Friday afternoon during an interview.

    Bailey, Dorio and Charleston County Detective Rocky Burke formed a task force soon after the December discovery and have spent most of this year developing additional leads.

    The trio, along with an outside group, Merrill's Investigations, have concentrated their efforts in an area along the Georgetown/Charleston County line.

    They're describing that area as the &quot;location of interest,&quot; and they say it's where the persons of interest live. However, detectives wouldn't provide specific details for fear of jeopardizing the investigation.

    Bailey said the new information has recently provided enough probable cause for search warrants and even lie detector tests that have been given to the persons of interest.

    &quot;There have been some polygraphs, but again, we can't discuss that,&quot; Bailey said. &quot;But we're real comfortable with our (persons of interest.)&quot;

    The persons of interest, Bailey said, know what happened to Drexel.

    &quot;They're suspected of being present with Brittanee, knowing her whereabouts or possible whereabouts,&quot; Bailey said.


    The investigators, while confident in their persons of interest, say they still need the final clue to establish that a crime occurred.

    &quot;We could use that one person -- or that one piece of evidence -- that comes forward and ties everything together to make a solid arrest which leads to a solid conviction,&quot; Dorio, the Myrtle Beach detective said.

    When asked whether they thought if Drexel is still alive, both Dorio and Bailey said no.

    &quot;Things that we are hearing, and I'm speaking for myself, leads to believe that she is not,&quot; Bailey said. &quot;In the beginning, it was a missing persons case, but everything we've looked at, I'm confident foul play was involved, and this is probably going to be a homicide investigation.&quot;

    When reached Friday afternoon and asked about the new developments, Brittanee's mother, Dawn Drexel, said she was reeling from all sorts of emotion.

    Dawn said it means they're probably close to finding closure based on the news, but &quot;are you ready to hear what you're about to hear?&quot; Dawn said.

    She said it's tough adjusting to a possible turn of events, &quot;knowing it is going to be a whole different story.&quot;

    &quot;I may have to accept I'm never going to see my daughter again.&quot;

    Investigators ask that anyone with information call their tipline at the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office that number is 843-436-6058. Remember you can remain anonymous.

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    Just another news article about the recent developments in Brittanee's case:

    Investigators 'don't think [Brittanee Drexel is] alive,' authorities sayPosted: Apr 10, 2010 7:35 AM
    Updated: Apr 10, 2010 10:48 AM
    &nbsp;
    MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Law enforcement officials have confirmed that they have identified persons of interest in the disappearance of an 18-year-old New York girl who went missing from Myrtle Beach nearly a year ago.

    Myrtle Beach Police Det. Vincent Dorio said Friday that investigators have developed multiple people of interest in the case of missing teen Brittanee Drexel. Dorio says the information developed from a tip, and that detectives are confident it is leading them in the right direction to finding who might be responsible for her disappearance.

    &quot;The police seem really confident, so there's a lot going through my head right now,&quot; said Brittanee's mother, Dawn Drexel. &quot;You go through a lot of emotions. Where is she? Is she OK? Is she not OK?&quot;

    Myrtle Beach Police and working with the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office and the Charleston County Sheriff's Office on the case.

    According to Georgetown County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Neil Johnson, no arrest warrants have been served at this time, but lie detector tests have been conducted on two of the persons of interest.

    &quot;At this time, there is no reason to believe these people [the persons of interest] know Drexel directly,&quot; Johnson said.
    Based on information they have received, they &quot;don't think she's still alive,&quot; Johnson commented.

    &quot; I want to know what happened to my daughter,&quot; Dawn Drexel said Friday night. &quot;Whoever did it or did something is going to pay dearly for what they've done.&quot;

    Investigators are not releasing any information on the tips they received because they fear it might jeopardize the recently revitalized investigation.

    Johnson said they have been looking at these persons of interest for some time and this recent break is the result of months of lead-tracking.

    Myrtle Beach Police say the Rochester, NY, teen disappeared after she was last seen in the area of 11th Avenue South and 20th Avenue South in Myrtle Beach. Drexel, who was 17 at the time of her disappearance, was in the area against the will of her mother.

    Contact was lost between Drexel and her family in New York on April 25, 2009, the same night authorities say she disappeared. The last signal from her cell phone came the next night near the South Santee River.

    Since she went missing, multiple search efforts for the teen have been executed from Horry County to Charleston County. While investigators have searched throughout three counties, each search effort has left police empty handed.

    In a December 2009 attempt, search team consisting of approximately 70 people combed through an unidentified area of Georgetown County after a pair of knock-off Prada sunglasses were discovered near a body of water.

    Those sunglasses, according to investigators, matched those worn by Drexel in a photo taken with friends in Myrtle Beach before her disappearance. Monica Caison with the CUE Center for Missing Persons says the sunglasses were located by a group of people collecting wood for a fire in December.


    Members of the CUE Center, in coordination with investigators from the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office, Charleston County Sheriff's Office and the Myrtle Beach Police Department used search dogs, multiple boats, divers and a remote-controlled robotic camera to search the immediate area where the Radar sunglasses were found.

    Despite using a variety of search tactics, Caison said investigators exhausted their search without any additional leads.

    CrimeStoppers of the Lowcountry continues to offer a reward for any information on Drexel's whereabouts. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Drexel is urged to contact the agency at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

    Brittanee Drexel's mom says police focus on 3-4 people


    Victoria E. Freile • Staff writer • April 16, 2010

    Nearly one year after her daughter disappeared while on spring break, Dawn Drexel appeared on Today in New York this morning and spoke with show co-host Matt Lauer about her daughter’s case.

    Gates Chili High School student Brittanee Drexel was 17 when she traveled to Myrtle Beach without her parents’ permission last year. She was last seen on hotel surveillance cameras on April 25, 2009. Brittanee’s family and friends have traveled to South Carolina countless times to search for the teen.

    Myrtle Beach and Georgetown County, S.C., police investigators said last week they are closing in on several persons of interest in the case. They also indicated that they believe Brittanee is no longer alive.

    Dawn Drexel today told Lauer that police have not shared many details about the recent developments in her daughter’s case. She said they told her they are focusing on three or four persons of interest and a location of interest.

    She also said she believes one of three things has happened to Brittanee.
    “She’s being held against her will, she’s been trafficked or she’s not alive,” Drexel told Lauer this morning.

    Also during the news segment, which aired shortly after 8 a.m., NBC aired video images of Brittanee texting, smiling and laughing in a hotel room in Myrtle Beach on April 24, 2009, one day before she disappeared. Police apparently received the footage from a person she met in South Carolina, whom they did speak with. That person was not considered a suspect.

    Dawn Drexel said she wants to find her daughter, first and foremost, and remains positive about the recent developments.

    “We either wanted to find her, or get some closure,” she said.

    Today’s appearance starts off a full day of events involving Drexel family members, including a news conference in Florida and a candlelight vigil in Myrtle Beach. S.C. Another candlelight vigil and march for Brittanee is planned in Myrtle Beach next week.
    Drexel asks that anyone with information that could help the investigation into her daughter’s disappearance to go to www.helpfindbrittaneedrexel.com

    Detectives: Phone call not from Brittanee Drexel
    by Graeme Moore
    Posted: 05.10.2010 at 3:56 PM
    Detectives say there's no truth to a claim that missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel called her grandmother over the weekend.

    Drexel's grandmother got a call from a restricted number two nights ago and heard muffled voices. The grandmother thought it was Brittanee. When detectives traced the call, it turned out it came from Drexel's mother Dawn. They say it was an unintentional &quot;pocket&quot; dial.

    Drexel vanished April 25th of last year from Ocean Boulevard and has not been seen since.

    Brittanee Drexel to be honored at Gates Chili graduation

    Local News – June 22, 2010 - 7:51am

    Brittanee Drexel, the Gates Chili High School student who disappeared during spring break in Myrtle Beach, S.C., last year, will be honored this week at what would have been her graduation.

    The school will present an honorary diploma for Brittanee, who would have graduated this year, to her family during graduation ceremonies at RIT’s Gordon Field House during Wednesday’s ceremony.

    Brittanee’s mother, Dawn Drexe,l said the school recently called her with the news.

    “They are going to present her father and me an honorary diploma,” Dawn Drexel said Monday. “It makes me feel great that they would recognize her.” she said.

    Brittanee disappeared in April 2009.

    This April, law enforcement agencies in South Carolina said they had located persons of interest in the case.

    “As of right now they’re still questioning people in South Carolina. That’s that all I know right now,” Dawn Drexel said.

    No arrests have been made in the case and Brittanee’s whereabouts are still unknown.

    The Drexel family has hosted a series of events in Myrtle Beach and elsewhere to raise funds and bolster search efforts, and the CUE Center for Missing Persons, of Wilmington, N.C., has been retained to help search efforts for Brittanee.

    A website has been established for information concerning Brittanee’s disappearance.

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    In Myrtle Beach there was just an attempted kidnapping of a 20-yr old female.&nbsp; Officials are looking into it; there could be a tie to Brittannee Marie Drexel.&nbsp; There's not actually evidence of a connection, more like hope that there might be a connection.

    Attempted kidnapping in Myrtle Beach brings to mind missing teen
    But police not ready to connect latest incident to April 2009 case.
    By Tonya Root
    (Myrtle Beach) Sun News
    Posted: Saturday, Jul. 24, 2010

    MYRTLE BEACH As Myrtle Beach police continued Friday to investigate an attempted kidnapping of a 20-year-old woman along Ocean Boulevard, those involved in the case of a missing New York teen hope the incident will provide clues in her case.

    Myrtle Beach police Capt. David Knipes said there is nothing to link the two cases together, but the same investigators are working both incidents.

    The missing teen, Brittanee Drexel, was last seen on April 25, 2009, on video surveillance leaving the Blue Water Hotel at 2001 S. Ocean Blvd., police said.

    The incident on Wednesday occurred about two blocks away, along Ocean Boulevard near 22nd Avenue South, Knipes said. The woman said a van drove up behind her about 4:30 p.m. and two men got out and grabbed her.

    The woman fought back against the men and told police she was able to get free before they pulled her into the van, which was described as being pale blue with several rust spots and a side sliding door, according to the report. The woman said there was a yellow sticker in the back passenger window, but she was unable to get the license plate number because the incident occurred so quickly.

    The woman said she elbowed one of the men and that he had blood coming from his face when she turned around, according to the report. She said the men got back inside the van where a third man was waiting in the driver's seat.

    &quot;We do have the same group of investigators that worked the Drexel case looking into this one,&quot; Knipes said in a statement released on Friday. &quot;At this time we are not saying that the cases are related, however we must exercise due diligence and properly review the cases and see if there are any similarities. As of now the only facts that are related are the (location) and the fact that they are both younger women.&quot;

    Monica Caison with the CUE Center for Missing Persons in Wilmington, said the proximity of Drexel's disappearance and the woman's attempted kidnapping are &quot;an awful coincidence.&quot;

    &quot;We're glad this young lady is OK and she wasn't abducted. We're hoping also that if ... they are connected ... it might actually provide some information to investigators,&quot; Caison said. &quot;It does spark a ray of hope that this could bring forth some information on Brittanee.&quot;

    Caison said she spoke to Drexel's family Thursday and they are hopeful someone with information about the teen will come forward to authorities.

    &quot;We're hoping it will yield some information to pertain to Brittanee; you can't help but hope that,&quot; Caison said. &quot;If that happens in any town it's something to be concerned about and you're going to look into anything to see if it's connected. We're hopeful because Brittannee's case needs a break.&quot;
    Where could that girl be?
    A nap is only nice when it's a luxury, not a necessity.

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    The mother of missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel appeared on CNN's Headline News Tuesday night to discuss recent developments.

    Dawn Drexel was a guest on the show &quot;Issues with Jane Velez&quot; and said she's hopeful the recent arrest of an attempted kidnapping suspect might help her daughter's case.

    Last week, Myrtle Beach Police arrested Shaun Taylor and charged him with attempted kidnapping and first degree assault and battery.

    Detectives say he's one of three men who tried to abduct a 20-year-old Tennessee woman from Ocean Boulevard on July 21.

    The botched abduction happened near the BlueWater Resort -- the same hotel where Brittanee Drexel was last seen.

    Police haven't confirmed a definite link, but the Drexel task force is also investigating the botched abduction.

    Taylor, from McClellanville, denied involvement in both cases and is out of jail on $70,000 bail.

    On CNN's HLN, Drexel said she's not sure what will come out of Taylor's arrest, but she hopes something will. For now, she's focused on finding her daughter and says the past year has been &quot;hell.&quot;

    &quot;It's the worst thing you could ever go through. I mean you bring your babies into this world, and you love them unconditionally, and you know, to think that you might not see her pretty little face again, it just kills me,&quot; Drexel said.

    I also read that Taylor was one of the first suspects they questioned in Brittanee's case.&nbsp; Also that the blue van he drives was reported as being seen in the area at the time she disappeared which is why he was quesioned.

    I also read that Taylor was one of the first suspects they questioned in Brittanee's case.&nbsp; Also that the blue van he drives was reported as being seen in the area at the time she disappeared which is why he was quesioned.

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    This isn't the same article I read but has similar info.


    MYRTLE BEACH – A McClellanville man who turned himself in to Myrtle Beach Police on charges of attempted kidnapping and assault and battery first degree Wednesday is scheduled to appear in a Myrtle Beach courtroom for a bond hearing Thursday at 9 a.m.

    The charges against Timothy Shaun Taylor, 37, are connected to an attempted abduction last week, according to a press release.

    Taylor is currently in custody at the Myrtle Beach Police Department Jail until he is served with the warrants, according to the release.

    Police released the arrest warrant on Taylor Thursday morning. Click here to read it.

    Because the attempted kidnapping was in the same general area Brittannee Drexel was last seen, speculation has been raised that those men could have also taken Brittanee.

    Taylor is from McClellanville in Northern Charleston County where Brittanee's cellphone signal was last picked up and near where, it is rumored, Brittanee's sunglasses were found.

    Brittanee's mother, Dawn Drexel, said she heard rumors about Shaun Taylor when the search for Brittanee first started.

    Drexel said the police looked into the rumors, but nothing came of it and that is how she is familiar with Taylor's name.


    A woman close to Taylor said that police questioned him in the past about Drexel, but found no evidence and made no arrests.

    The woman said that Taylor turned himself in today after he learned he was a kidnapping suspect and that he says he's innocent.

    Myrtle Beach police have not said anything about the case other than Taylor is in custody and they are investigation any possible links to the Drexel case, but the investigation has stepped up in the past 24 hours.

    Damn, every time I see this thread pop up I on some level hope to hear she has been found alive and was just pulling shenanigans. On a whole other level I doubt she is still with us. In any event I do hope that her parents, family, &amp; friends are given some sold answers sooner than later.

    Watched the show last night. I have to say I liked the way it was put together. I have it now on a season pass. There was not really any new info that I haven't heard about yet. They haven't even mentioned the attempted kidnapping suspect Taylor either saying it may be a connection even though he was interviewed early on regarding Brittanee. All the things I have read about this story it has put it more together into a story that you get a feeling for her more. Her bf looks like a nice guy, her mom looks and acts like what the media has portrayed her to be with her myspaces etc. The one guy that left in the middle of the night, while it does seem suspicious I don't really think he is someone of great interest, at least the show is made to make us feel they believe his is telling the truth. The Taylor guy that turned him self in the regards of the latest attempted kidnapping claims he is innocent in both the attempted and the Drexel case. The van he drives was seen in both places and he lives in the same area where the cell phone pings came from and the glasses that were found. Also to note the glasses were found 8 months after, and appeared to be clean with out dirt or anything on them. No DNA found at all and they don't really know if she even had any sun glasses like that.

    Re: 17-year-old Brittanee Marie Drexel of New York Missing - Myrtle Beach

    Photo put on Facebook

    Myrtle Beach police are investigating a Facebook account that featured a photo of missing Rochester, N.Y., teen Brittanee Marie Drexel, who vanished nearly a year ago on a spring break trip.

    Police learned about the account through a tip received Monday by way of the &quot;America's Most Wanted&quot; TV show Web site, police Capt. David Knipes said Tuesday.

    &quot;We're familiar with it. Is there anything to it? Probably not. We're still working on it. I don't think it has a whole lot of weight in the case with the way we're investigating it,&quot; Knipes said. He declined to elaborate.

    Facebook account holders typically post pictures of themselves. The account in question featured a photo of Drexel that was visible to all Facebook users until Tuesday afternoon, when it apparently was removed.

    Drexel's aunt, Keri Drexel of Bradenton, Fla., said she tried to contact the person listed as the account holder for the Facebook page. She sent an e-mail asking that the picture of Brittanee Drexel be removed.

    &quot;I don't even know who she is,&quot; Keri Drexel said of the account holder. &quot;The emotions each day are just like killing us. We're just in survival mode every day.&quot;

    The Drexel photo that was posted on the Facebook page has been widely used on missing posters and in the media.

    &quot;I think it's pretty cruel. I don't know what the goal is,&quot; said Carol Wagner of Rochester, who is Drexel's grandmother.

    On Tuesday morning, the Facebook page that featured the Drexel photo had 59 fans who included high school students in Montana, Missouri and Pennsylvania. Sixteen of them said they were students at Sturgeon (Mo.) High School.

    Sturgeon High Acting Administrator Kevin Hicks confirmed that the names listed as Sturgeon High fans of the Facebook page were those of students. He said he had never heard the name of the account holder. He said he would contact the students to discuss the Facebook page and find out what was going on.

    Facebook officials did not respond Tuesday to requests for comment.

    Brittanee Drexel last communicated with her mother Dawn Drexel in a text message sent late in the afternoon of April 25, 2009, in which she said she was packing to come home, Wagner said.

    She was last seen on a security camera leaving the lobby of a Myrtle Beach hotel. She took her pink cell phone and purse. Her belongings were left behind. &quot;We have all her clothing and luggage,&quot; Wagner said.

    Brittanee Drexel went to Myrtle Beach without her mother's permission. Wagner said she has had two dreams in which her granddaughter is alive. &quot;I do believe Brittanee is out there. Somebody is holding her against her will,&quot; Wagner said.

    Crime Stoppers playing cards that include information about the Drexel case will be distributed this week in South Carolina prisons and jails, said Monica Caison, founder and executive director of the Cue Center for Missing Persons in Wilmington, N.C.

    &quot;We've been dealing with some very odd things with people impersonating Brittanee,&quot; Caison said.

    Wagner said a candlelight vigil for Drexel is planned in Myrtle Beach. &quot;I have made so many friends down there in Myrtle Beach. They are a very giving community,&quot; she said.

    The vigil will be at 7:30 p.m. April 25 at the Blue Water Resort. Anyone is welcome to participate. &quot;We're doing it to keep her face out there because we don't want anybody to forget her,&quot; Wagner said.
