More than two dozen people were out on the coast of Atlantic Ocean Friday looking for clues in the 2009 disappearance of local teen Brittanee Drexel.
Drexel, of Chili, was 17 when she was last seen on April 25, 2009, leaving a hotel in Myrtle Beach. Drexel had rode with friends to South Carolina, without her parent’s permission, for spring break.
Monica Caison with the CUE Center for Missing Persons said the agency acted off a tip it received from a fisherman who reported smelling the odor of decay in the water. Thirty people helped with the search, off the coast of McClellanville.
In addition to police and sheriff searches, the CUE Center For Missing Persons has conducted over fifty searches for Brittanee Drexel. None have turned up any substantial clues. Her family has set up a website with information about the case.
Back in August, police searched an apartment in Georgetown where police thought a person of interest had lived. The man lived there at the time Drexel disappeared. As of yet, no arrests have been made.
