Tell that to that poor little 5 year old girl whose mother (and I use that term loosely) sold her off as a sex slave.  They found her body yesterday. :-P

It's a pretty safe bet that the media under-represents missing minorities. I mean seriously, this is HUGE that the cover is like that. HUGE! And you fuckin know it.

A new tip has reignited the search effort in Georgetown County for missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel who vanished from Ocean Boulevard in April.
While Georgetown County investigators won't elaborate on the new tip, it was enough to bring in cadaver dogs, special dive teams and search crews.
The efforts began Friday when two cadaver dogs from the CUE Center for Missing Persons were brought in to work an area along the North Santee River.
The dogs, specifically trained to detect human remains, spent a couple of hours on and around a 25-foot dock that juts into the river.
Once those dogs were done working, the CUE Center requested a third and fourth cadaver dog to search the same area, but those dogs didn't arrive until Saturday. Myrtle Beach detectives -- the lead agency in the investigation -- also arrived on Saturday.

The second set of dogs searched the same wooded and swampy area but concentrated around the waters of the same dock which sits in an alcove of the river.

The dogs' work produced further developments which prompted police and searchers to request a dive team, CUE Center found Monica Caison said.
Members of the Horry County Fire Rescue's dive team suited up around 10:30 Sunday morning, and the three divers worked for close to four hours.
Around 11:45 a.m., one of the divers found some sort of hard material that piqued interests among the group of searchers and law enforcement.
No one at the scene could definitively classify what it was, but it will be sent to the Medical University of South Carolina on Monday morning to determine if it is a human bone.

The divers called the search for the day around 3:00 Sunday afternoon, but they are scheduled to return Monday morning.
A native of Rochester, NY, Drexel traveled to Myrtle Beach against her parents' wishes and vanished April 25 from Ocean Boulevard.
She was last seen leaving the Blue Water Resort and was reportedly headed back to where she was staying at the Bar Harbor Hotel.

Myrtle Beach detectives tracked Drexel's cell phone signals from Myrtle Beach to Georgetown County in the first days of her disappearance. As previously reported, the cell phone made a bee line from Myrtle Beach to somewhere near the North Santee Community around the hour Drexel was last seen.

A substantial reward is being offered for any information leading to Brittanee, and detectives are asking for the public's help. Anonymous tips can be phoned in to the Myrtle Beach Police tip line at 843-918-1963.

Tips can also be made by calling the CUE Center for Missing Persons at 910-232-1687.

Sunglasses found in Brittanee Drexel search
By Graeme Moore
Friday, December 11, 2009 at 6:09 p.m.

Detectives are trying to determine whether a pair of knock-off designer sunglasses found during a search this week belong to missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel.

A couple from Charleston County who were camping in the area found the sunglasses in a wooded section of riverbank along the North Santee River in Georgetown County.

"They wouldn't be something like a hunter or anyone would wear," said Francie Varn, the woman who stumbled upon the glasses.

Francie and her husband Robert found the pair of Prada knock-offs Monday afternoon, and while they normally wouldn't have called police over such a find, they knew there was an active search for Drexel.

"I did start thinking about it and thinking this is just really too weird," Francie said.

The Varns found the glasses on the western side of the Santee Delta, a state-protected wildlife refuge made up of thousands and thousands of acres.

Georgetown County investigators and Myrtle Beach Police detectives have a picture of Brittanee on the beach the day before she vanished, and she's wearing a pair of sunglasses that show a striking resemblance to the glasses found this week.

While one detective thought the find was a "long shot," others felt confident the glasses could belong to Drexel.

The glasses will be sent to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division which will try to gather and analyze any DNA that's present on the sunglasses.

Police and the CUE Center For Missing Persons began the search in the North Santee Community last Friday after receiving a new tip. That tip, investigators said, was not related to the sunglasses.

Cadaver dogs, special dive teams from Charleston and Horry Counties, and searchers spent almost a week searching several areas along the river, but by Thursday afternoon, the only potential clue remained the sunglasses.

For now, the search has been suspended until further information is developed, detectives said.

A native of Rochester, NY, Drexel traveled to Myrtle Beach against her parents' wishes and vanished April 25 from Ocean Boulevard.

The 18-year-old, who was 17 when she disappeared was last seen leaving the Blue Water Resort and was reportedly headed back to where she was staying at the Bar Harbor Hotel.

Myrtle Beach detectives tracked Drexel's cell phone signals from Myrtle Beach to Georgetown County in the first days of her disappearance. As previously reported, the cell phone made a bee line from Myrtle Beach to somewhere near the North Santee Community around the hour Drexel was last seen.

A substantial reward is being offered for any information leading to Brittanee, and detectives are asking for the public's help. Anonymous tips can be phoned in to the Myrtle Beach Police tip line at 843-918-1963.

Tips can also be made by calling the CUE Center for Missing Persons at 910-232-1687.

Intriguing. I am just looking if that picture of Brittanee on the beach supposedly wearing similiar sunglasses is floating around anywhere, but in the surveillance video shots it appears that she may be wearing sunglasses on her head as she walks into the hotel ... although it is kind of hard to tell from a distance.

[trepid]

I am assuming this is the photo of her on the beach the day before she went missing ...



Alas, it looks like Brittanee's sunglasses are yellow (located on top of her shoes in the photo) and the only ones that look remotely similiar to the Prada knock-offs found are on her friend's head. Of course perhaps she had several pairs, may of borrowed her friend's pair, or the sunglasses that were found are not connected to her at all. Definately strikes me as odd to find a pair of sunglasses in such a location though :|

Here's hoping something more eventuates in this case, I often think about this girl and the strange circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

i think youre right. im sure she had several pairs.

[dreamer1627]

Went back and looked at websleuths. Check out the bottom picture, second one in. Looks like she is wearing black sunglasses. The link to facebook is no longer going to their album so I cant make it bigger.

[nerysinci]

The yellow sunglasses look like they are on top of a pair of MEN's sandals.  I think her sandals are the white ones behind her to the right.

I think it's just that the Halloway case fucking infuriates me. And it's not even a MWWS issue with that one, cause the coverage that she got took away from missing people of all races and genders. It's disgusting what they did for that chick.
