The search for a missing teenager could be heading to the heart of the Lowcountry. For three weeks now, the family of Brittanee Drexel has been on a desperate search to find her. On Tuesday, they plan to move their effort to the Mount Pleasant Charleston area.
At this point, the family is basically starting from scratch, police have very little new information and the family says the search gets harder and harder with every passing day.
They covered 50 miles from North Myrtle Beach into Georgetown County, a flyer in every store and a card in everyone’s hand, hoping someone will recognize the face of 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel.
“We don’t care what car she got in, who picked her up we just want her back, we want to bring our baby back home,” Dawn Drexel said.
The situation is difficult and emotional for everyone involved, especially hard for Brittanee’s grandmother Carol Wagner, who turned 59 on Monday. The pain of a missing child is almost too much to take.
“Every time we get a sighting we just get a cringe and we are just hoping and praying it’s her, there has to be some closure, we have to find her,” Brittanee’s grandmother Carol Wagner said.
This all started back on April 25, Brittanee last spotted leaving a Myrtle Beach hotel.
A week later, the teen’s cell phone led investigators to Georgetown but a massive search came up empty. Still, hope remains, just last week, some though they saw Drexel at a gas station in Horry County, but that turned into a false alarm.
“Its just breaks our heart somebody would just take her away from us and she is very close to us,” Dawn Drexel said.
As time passes, more and more friends and family join the search, each looking to find some answers to this mystery.
