Update: Brittanee Marie Drexel missing details from DemocratAndChronicle.com
Last Wednesday (April 22), Brittanee Drexel’s mom Dawn Drexel did not permit her to go holidays in Myrtle Beach, but did allow her daughter to sleep over a friend’s house. Only when Ms. Dawn received the call alarming her daughter missing on April 25 night, she realized Britanee had went to South Carolina.
Dawn Drexel called family friend John Hahn, 20, a Marine who is stationed in Camp LeJeune, N.C., early Sunday (April 26) and asked him to travel to Myrtle Beach and file a police report.
According to Hahn and police, Drexel walked about a half-mile from the Bar Harbor Motel where she was staying to visit a friend at the Bluewater Resort on Saturday night. She left to return to her own hotel room but never made it back.
According to witness statements from young men who were staying at the Bluewater Resort, Drexel went to their hotel room about 8 p.m. Saturday but left about 10 minutes later to return a pair of shorts to a friend with whom she had traveled. Two of the men stated that Drexel had been arguing with her friend because Drexel had been wearing her shorts and the friend wanted them back.
Dawn Drexel, who arrived Monday in Myrtle Beach, said she does not believe her daughter ran away, adding that she just “wanted to get away and have fun with her friends.”
As of the time of this entry was updated, Britanee Drexel was still not found.
Every person on here is ignorant. Especially these gospel, “holier than thou” Fu ktards. Fuck all of you. The only reason this dumb bitch caught the eye of the media and that sack of cum “Nancy Disgrace” is because she’s societies idea of pretty and innocent. Bet your bottom dollar that if she were some fat black bitch with a kid, no one would give a fuck what happened to her.
I may not have known this beautiful young girl, but even though alot of ignorant peoples comments on her probably does not describe this young troubled girl! I also suffer from severe depression, &; even though she made an unwise choice to leave to another state without permission, nobody on here knows the true story other then the people that were with her… &; only her family &; close friends know how bad or good her living was at home! what most of you people dont understand is, depression is a serious disease, causing you to constantly put yourself down, not feeling like your worth anything, &; sometimes think of wanting today, i didnt know the family or this young girl, or their home life, but none of you know, she could of been living in a house with constant fighthing &; stresses that she just couldnt handle anymore &; felt as if she needed an escape from her troubles, granted she should of just went &l; stayed at a friends house to blow steam or get her feelings out, but obviously their had to be something going on or the parents capability to parent correctly or disspline, but like i said i dont know the situation, they could have been good parents with a problem child, but instead of everyone on this site, sitting here blaming eitherr the parents or child for this tragedy isnt doing anything but making the situation worse! as for the parents, if your not already doing everything out of your will to find your baby girl, then you need to try harder to find your daughter, i know if it was my child i would do anything &; i mean ANYTHING to look in every crack n corner for my her. But the point is, instead of everyone on this site downing the situation, how about giving the family hope, &; finding some space in your heart to help this family! TO ALL OF YOU WITH THE RUDE &: UNCALLED FOR COMMENTS: why bother even taking your time to write something so ignorant, &; making accusations about this lost girl, when your only giving the family less hope when you need to be giving them the strength &; respect that they deserve, above alll, THIS IS A MISSING YOUNG GIRL, NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT! THIS LITTLE GIRL COULD BE IN SERIOUS HARM, SO QUIT BLAMING HER &; HER PARENTS &; ACTUALLY TRY TO HAVE SOME COMPASSION &; PRAY THAT THIS YOUNG GIRL IS STILL SAFE &; GETS RETURNED TO HER FAMILY ! i am also going out to myrtle beach within the next month, i will keep her in my thoughts &; prayers &; see if maybe, just maybe i can help in some way, (to her parents): i will contact you with any information that i can find, if i come across anything… please ignore peoples selfish comments! your daughter is in my hopes &; prayers. please have faith that you will find her &; that she is safe, NEVER GIVE UP LOOKING FOR HER, HAVE FAITH (:
I pray to God your Angel is still with you; my heart goes out to you and her.
I have a 15 year old daughter, and this is my worst fear. Lord please be with her and keep her safe.
Her mom did not know she was down there. She was I-M her mom through the phone and her mom thought she was at a friends. Her boyfriend knew she was there and when she did not answer him through text messages after a hour he called her mom whom called a friend to report her missing. Her so called friends left and did not even look for her. I think the girl who she took the shorts from met her halfway and something happened from there. No teen is going to rush back to return a pair of shorts especially to walk a mile. The girl who wanted her shorts did not text her back to ask where she was after demanding them back? When the boyfriend called everyone who was down there they all said they dont know where she is! I would look at the footage of tapes again check car plates and people walking behind her and people leaving the hotels during that short time period. It would not take long because it is only a 30 minute time period.
I just seen the show telling her story…..It seems like she was picked up on her way back to her hotel willingly or against her will………Taken to the swamps…..most likey raped and killed and thrown in the swamps…..and eaten by alligators…..
lie killed yur daughter ask juan sosa,cia knows about it for over three years,the cia thinks sosa is the head its a it thing(cia guilty as sin no lies)
#2….I have edited my prior entries, which I should have done as I wrote. If I have misspelled or used poor grammar in my haste, I hope you can overlook the errors, and take the time to read what I have taken time to write. I know it’s long, but it is heartfelt. I hope her family, she, ICP and others care enough to read on the chance & in the hope that it could be of value to assist those who have loved & missed her & searched for her with discovering new leads.
I feel strongly that I have seen your daughter’s face on facebook somewhere, as I was brousing, before I knew about the case. When I saw her picture on Nancy Grace, I went looking again, but it’s too time consuming. I love to research (when I have time). I understand somewhat, as my younger daughter left home to parts unknown for 7 weeks last year. She would not answer her phone & we only got random, grief answers to our texts. When
she left there had been no sign of ill-will & she promised to return within a few hours. She had been home again for a few weeks & had told me she had started to get her mind straight, but still had a way to go. We had just returned from her grandma’s funeral & I actually thought it would do her good to see a show & get her mind off the loss a little. We finally got a call from her right before Thanksgiving 2009, but she’s never returned home since to spend even a whole day or night visiting with us or her small child. It has come out that she has blamed me for doing too little (like teaching her to drive) when she was rarely available or interested in being taught when I still could have done so. I was told, indeed, that a friend was teaching her. Meanwhile, she has married, but both refused to be counseled prior to their wedding. She has not always been this way, and I cannot give approval to what she has exposed herself to. Do I (we) still love her? Of course, even though she disowned us by saying she no longer had a mother, brother, sister, family. Threats from the person she lived with (before a civil wedding) came by demanding that I pay him respect, then had to admit I had never pd him any disrespect. He went on
(although he knew we were on our way out when he showed up,) to say he was tired of having to spend 3 hrs each time I upset her (his common-law-wife) after she had talked to me or that I had called & upset her. The truth is that we often talked without upsetting his apple-cart, but he continued to tell me they were already planning to take her child (asap) & not ever speak of us again once they removed him. Many other charges & threats were made, while my youngest waited for him to “tell me off”. He cursed & raised his voice to the pt.
my oldest called me to come inside, as the child was becoming distressed. She (herself) reported me (us) to CPS & Adult human services to charge our home was unfit to live in & I was not stable or fit mentally or physically and that I was being ‘forced’ to take care of my grandchild (her son) who is a joy to get to know, play with, care for & I love him so much I can do more than I could before his birth. Why all the bitterness & revenge you might ask, as we have paid for her lawyer, restitution, believed her & in her until we found how much she had lied to us. I believe (more than ever) that one is likely to become like those one associates with, and that true friends are rare & hard to discover. I think she wanted to be accepted by ‘friends’ at church first who were able to conceal from the church & families what they were really doing without notice, while enjoying being involved in youth activities, etc. Youth today that are taught right from wrong, still soon see how easily others (and they) can manage to maintain double standards & get away with just about anything. They see turning 18 as an advantage (license to do as they please,) with privacy. The poor economy limits their ability to ‘easily’ provide for themselves and be as independent as they had expected. They still have to depend on support from family, but resent it at the same time. So some choose to take to the streets, sleep here & there, rent apartments they want, without the funds to have or keep what they are given or earn. Even those with degrees often have to work several jobs (as often their family members have done to provide for them & necessities, vacations, & such). But that gives them little time left to play games, socialize, and have the fun they often feel is due them. They are quick & realize any failure on their part will first be blamed on a single parent, as they know sociality usually insists families are just unwilling to get involved enough to teach principles & enforce safe boundaries by monitoring children. So it is not a big leap to learn to take advantage of this and play the victim of too much or too little in order to play the blame game, the victim of those they defame as hypocrites or worse who they have seen in positions of authority in their churches (if they even go,) schools, etc. Our society has lost it’s moral perspective, and those in charge have whimped out lest they offend &
be rejected. So rather than continue to grow in spirit, self-reflection, growth in mental & emotional self-control, we all try to gain power & control by pleasing & lowering standards of excellence, honor, honesty, etc…to play for position, fame or acceptance. We give in & many give out until they give up. Meanwhile the youth have observed our lame vulnerability & tired attempts to influence and enforce or give them even what we were given in security, and they are taught they can be and do anything when they grow up (without being informed that is only true if one is willing to continually keep faith, trying, persevere, and be willing to work hard & set realistic goals for ourselves and others (including our children). But instead, after years of declining to do that, we say they MUST bare the weight of the failures & neglect of our schools to teach the basics, while empowering & respectfully including & considering their parents, (rather than just what states can get from the federal government, while lobbying for better pay for themselves, etc.) to nurture & inform parents, interested parties, and the children & youth of the value of all others. The youth of today are good at playing games & using the WWW & one way or another exploring & trusting in most of the wrong messages & people which would put them in jeopardy. I have been very active in giving, especially my youngest, all my efforts to advance her knowledge & educational experiences. Once, she too, was self-motivated to ask if we might do & go places beyond what any in our family hoped to do, and she enjoyed it all until she was distracted or strayed off course. Still only the middle of last year did I research her name on the internet, & learn (at least in part) what she knew (as our home computer access had been lost) I had no means to discover. I saw changes, discovered some deceptions, saw some red flags, but I knew nothing about ICP (Insane Clown Posse, a hardcore horror rap group) & their following of juggalos and juggalettes, what they were being sold and were it might lead them. It matters not if their followers come from advantaged or disadvantaged backgrounds. The group promotes itself as being the most hated, radical of it’s type, anywhere.
It mattered not that she was once terribly afraid of clowns or that she was born beautiful & smart. She grew to (somehow) idolize the hardcore horror rap artists and listen to the lyrics devoid of basic decency, filled with words she can use as often & as proficiently as she once said ‘I love you’. All other has to stand aside as she claims this is now her religion, which is Christian. The only comparison I can think it has to Christ’s lifestyle and message of Gospel, would be a very deceptive perversion. ICP has no apology for the cash-cow deception they sold that has caused many to reject & mock even their need for repentance and redemption. Their lyrics do not promote love or responsibility to honor God or parents or fellow humans, especially if God, parents or other humans find them offensive and counter to the the Laws of God, any of our laws, except those they believe sustain their right to express & do with whomever in a manner of their choosing. Mine child says her religion is private,
although her husband told our lawyer to them Halloween is their religions’ sacred time. Wicca is pagan. When she was in a religious school’s enrichment program, as she was home-schooled, read by first grade, and was high-school level or above when she enjoyed taking a 4th grade S.A.T., with an overall grade level equivalency of 8.5, because (although she first loved math) she had a person who buzzed her with questions way beyond her scope when when was just getting into basic addition & subtractions. Although I stopped them, she was made to feel she was dumb (quite untrue) as far as this person was concerned (at least) and she stopped enjoying those lessons & balked. New violent rap groups are popping up all the time, and most family members would not know enough to suspect they would have the influence they do. Either they are seeking fame & fortune, or (like ICP) have been around for years & sold enough to be set for retirement, especially since they have their our established record label (Psychopathic? Records,) and perform & sell ICP items worldwide. Few of the sites of their ‘fans’ appear just music lovers, ICP has many haters & their lyrics promote hatred, are demeaning & crude at best. There are other groups who wear face point & which could be used to make our homeland and the world such that it could undermine attempts that would tend to nurture a family’s faith, without creating attitudes and acts of violence which cause many to live amidst terror, especially since some use their connections in Mexico and elsewhere to bring in drugs and other human traffic and income tax evasion. If ICP should read here what I have written, I would ask that they be decent enough to confess on various television networks and radio stations (as many will not play their stuff) that ..for profit.. and due to lack of regard for the future life on earth & beyond & that of their birth families & the future of any children they are blessed with, whose welfare & best interests will not be pro-moted by face-paint, lack of boundaries & void of respect for laws & other authorities or other persons (male or female) or deception or poor role models, addictions, or belonging for a posse or gang or sub-culture. Their fans might be disgruntled or left with a false belief system, but they should be told also, there is nothing to support their faith or claim that they will not die alone, never pay any consequence for what others do or feel, but they will be judged by God (not ICP) if they don’t themselves walk humbly & abide by His Everlasting Goodwill, with praise on their lips, rather than filthy words for all they don’t like, and would get back at. I wish and ask ICP repents of the detrimental influence their own violence & deceptions has caused which has caused the growth of their fans to be delayed or which has caused them to think they could be double-
minded, deceiving even themselves, having been groomed to do so without any consciousness of the hurt they were causing to their families, their families & children….because it is not possible to serve two masters, we all have been young & possibly most have broken some state or national law, & Law of God, still ICP cannot cleanse anyone with Faygo or any other act or song. Man can not BE evil while having morals. We cannot deceive God as every secret will be revealed. There is no wagon that has arrived each time an ICP follower dies or is killed. Shangrila (sp) at best is a pleasant notion, but likely more la, la, la, than anything you could describe, not having any evidence that it is much more than wishful thinking, even if your imagination has conceived what it will be like. And then there is the issue of ‘raising your hatchets high,’ that will likely lead you into doing harm & even if you get away without serving time in jail (and even though that might seem not as bad as sleeping on the streets, it’s still true there is no place like home. If the home/family who raised you did so without regard, concern & proper care of you….or if you suffered actual abuse…you do not have to repeat that pattern…even to those you presently claim or know mistreated you. You can let it slide. You can learn to realize that all humans have right. You can realize that hate and angry, unrelenting revenge & bitterness is not a way to go; if you don’t appreciate human beings from treating you or talking to you or viewing you a trash, then you can rise above their level and do unto others as you would wish them to do for you. But please hold in your mind that not everyone who refuses you something, it would help just as much your sense of well being if you worked to be at peace inside, less needy, less afraid, less fearsome (because break it done…you can only fear some). We all need to grow up, rather than refuse to go through the changes that will require. There will be those who won’t find it easy to trust that we can change, but it is important only that we grow to truly be appalled at the hurt & violence that you have enjoyed witnessing at our concerts & that you have felt free to commit yourself. In so far as possible free yourself, work out your own salvation between yourself & God & accept those He sends to lead you to let address & then let go of (rather than ignore & remain burdened by the sins committed against you or by you in the sight of a loving God who has never forsaken you or left you helpless (just learn to ask His help,) and learn to wait for Him to do His work. I pray ICP will acknowledge they truly don’t want to serve as false idols, and that they started off course, continued off course, but would like to be given the chance to live in harmony and be self-respecting, as well as respectful to others. I would like them to offer restitution or help out their fans and their birth or adoptive families, saying that one of the first things he did was buy his mom a house. But if they could do none of these things, I would pray that no one or no group would allow in their homes trash lyrics which promote the false notion that is being fed or demanded by them or their families. If it’s all about music and treating others and your own bodies with respect..turning over a new or fallen leaf. Satisfying one’s passions or the passions and desire for power & control over others has been what it’s all been about. It is far for satisfying and long-lasting to come to know yourself and accept that you are no exception. All of us are human, have weaknesses, the number of hours in a day doesn’t change, the seasons turn from winter to spring, to summer & then to fall. So, likewise, your heart may have slept thru it’s winter or felt nothing but too cold, but when you spring into action, face toward the sun, your garden & trees planted can grow up and break thru the dirt and fertilizer to bear new plants, new seeds to replant. You might have to endure some heat or find a shaded place or fan yourself. There may come floods & repairs needed, or draughts when you loose a few or do some watering yourself. You may see some plants seem to die (leaving only seeds for the next planting season) and as the leaves fall from your trees, you may have to mulch or rake them up (or wonder if the tree will survive,) yet there are always ever-greens & plants that remain to endure and add color to your days. Just remember….this too shall, in time, pass, only to present a time of fulfillment, when all hatchets will be buried, all weapons turned into plowshares, all wounds healed. We plead for mercy, accept love, strive to live honestly & travel the right paths, and forgive and be forgiven.
have many friends (except those they have on facebook, if that counts,) but they (for the most part) are in it for life, raising their hatchets high. They claim they will never die alone, go in a wagon to Shangrala (sp) as their reward for remaining loyal to ‘the family’ and doing as they please without looking back in order to sustain their life styles, which usually can appear normal (because some have regular jobs & many families are left totally in the dark,) but when they are with others like minded they aim to please & keep a low profile unless others who care discover all they are addicted to (their lifestyle, gaming, drugs, etc.) and try to help them get their minds straight. There are too many who counter (any concerns they left behind or stole from or lied to) with “but you have a family who accepts you however you are, and if mom keeps upsetting you, we’ll take care of her). I read about one mom who bent over backwards, opened her home, cooked for, etc. her daughter & her friends for quite some time, but only had them steal money, food & ‘things’ to sell each time they left.
Her feelings, home, finances, debts were given no regard, and it just kept her at a loss and living in fear, as so many knew well where she lived. She finally (to survive & maintain) gave up & broke off all contact with her daughter & moved, as all her loving efforts & financial help just helped them maintain. As with all
abusers, each time it got worse, and then when she refused (of course) she was
labeled a hater. I pray Brittanee did not have friends in that sub-culture/gang or whatever, because even the ones who try to get out, usually get sucked back in by messages, texts. I would advise everyone to research & be prepared. As we were close (I thought,) but she said she was just telling me what she knew I wanted to hear. There is no remorse, but parents often are left thinking their children are too bright to be taken in, or think it will work itself out in time. However, time often (sorrowfully) runs out for them as there in in-fighting, self-abuse & domination & other things that have groomed them to think it is the duty of others to totally accept them as is & they also fear the rejection or violence of the ones they have given all up for & (I guess) think there is no way to fit back in (without being bored to death) a sane lifestyle. Just ask the FBI or some good investigator to go on face book and look for her picture, or research her name and aka, or ask her friends what other names (nicknames, etc) she has ever gone by. If it were me, & I still had a computer she used while at home or elsewhere, I’d turn it over to the FBI…they might find out someone she had contact with or who responded to some My Space or blog, etc. that would give leads. Gaming sites etc have other ids…finding out sometimes (I hope not in your case) can be a shocking web full of thorns that sicken & cause pain, but one must be brave & realize that still “The Truth is still sets one free” I
believe in time every secret will be revealed anyway & we need to persevere & continue to love them (not the unwise choices or lawlessness,) even though they do not seem always to accept that love, even many say there are times they cannot get ICP lyrics out of their head, …and sadly many paint & spread their conforming, victim attitudes to condition their children to accept it all, as well as all the prejudice, hatred & violent attitude toward society, women, etc. as well. If I ever see a face that I think is ‘B’ again, I’ll notify. I pray God Almighty give you courage, faith, strength, support & love to continue to talk to your other children (and get their input,) and comfort & concentrate on them too, as well as on being in this world, but not of it. I know God is able to do all & far more than we can anticipate or imagine.

She got involved with a group of juggalos and juggalettes (Insane Clown Posse followers who claim that group of followers as their most loved family. Some of those who idolized the hardcore horror rap artists and listen to the lyrics loose all sound boundaries..some are just fans, others are fanantics who claim this as their religion, and even claim it is Christian. Others have various other beliefs, from pagan on. I have not seen any sites that reflect that they are happy or

LOOK the police saying Brittiance Drexel who reportedly suffers from depression and doesn’t know what is going on her mind. Depression is illness. She need help. I was depression for several years. I visited my therapist. I felt like sick and don’t care or hate myself. I pray for you and your family find her and hope she is alive. Put her in God’s hand.
I saw this on episode on TV last night. I think it’s obvious that she got into a vehicle either by her own will or was forced in the vehicle. I can only imagine what happened to her after that. I have 3 young kids and by watching forensic files and dateline episodes I have learned how many bad people live are out there just looking for an opportunity. I think that it is great that they have these TV shows to make parents more aware of the dangers out there. Kid’s are very naive and trusting and don’t know about the real world and all of the pycho’s out there. I will do everything in my power as a parent to not let this happen to my kid’s. I don’t care if my kid’s hate my wife and me I will protect them at all cost. This is a very sad story and obviously she died that night and was probably dumped in that river where all the wildlife was. They always say if you don’t find them in the first 48 hours then the worst probably happened. I hope for the families sake that they at least find the body or bones soon so they can at least have a proper buriel for their daughter. This is the worst nightmare for a parent and I can only imagine the pain that her parents feel everyday. I feel for them and I hope that the people that did this get caught and get the death penalty for what they did. My heart goes out to the parents and her 2 siblings. I don’t know how you get over something like this. I don’t think they ever will. This is just a sad sad story and I hate seeing these things happen. Good luck to the police and the family in finding these people that did this.
How does nobody not see anything?? So many ppl go missing but nobody sees anything?? How is that’s?? Such a beautiful girl. I’m only 18 and I have a daughter and I pray my daughter never goes missing not even for an hour. I really pray she is found alive and gets to go home to her family..this is so sad
I just saw this poor girl’s case on tv. I have an idea on how to find who is responsible. She disappeared on her walk from her friend’s hotel back to her own. The police have her on a traffic camera wallking towards the hotel but not away. we know her phone was traveling in a car to Georgetown. Well if she was picked up walking on that same streeet she took to the hotel then we can assume that the car that picked her up continued on that street and we know what time she left the hotel, so i say you review the traffic camera footage from the time she left and run all the license plates that pass that same traffic camera going the opposite way and see if any of the cars are registered to the town that her phone was last traced to. It’s worth a try.
One of my friends was best friends with this girl. I clearly remember walking to the bus stop on April 27th, and seeing my friend there with tears streaming down her face. I didn’t know what to say to her, so I just stood there silently. I wish I had said something. My heart goes out to everyone who knows her, loves her, and hopes she comes home.
My Prayers are with you, I pray that you will find her soon. As a mother myself, I cannot even begin to imagine the kind of Trauma you must be going through. Trust in God, and dont loose Faith. And to some of you heartless people out there, with your insensitive comments, Can you even imagine what this poor mother is going through ? Is your comment making it any easier for the family ? How would you have felt if this happened to your child? Think before you speak, and if you have nothing good to say, then say NOTHING AT ALL!
This whole brittany case is really sad. I am only 15, but i have never thought abt running away with my friends. It would be easier if she would have listened and it never would have happened. Look what she has put her family through. all this for one holiday at the beach and now she could be dead or somewhere? this is nothing new with children these days.
i cant belive you say things like that !!! that is very very rude !!! you must hope that wil not happen to you !!!!!!!! TIP , RAYQUAN your time wil come !!!! I belive she wil be fine and know no matter what She wil always in God s hand with God nothing is inposable xxxx
Why remain to look far? Scared or alarmed to look in your own back yard? She’s only but a kid. Kids always know where the heart is.
Brittanee might have gotten hit by a wave and drowned into the ocean. Oh, I hope she’s still okay! I’m scared!

Brittanee;
I hope you are reading this email. We all understand to be a teenager because we were once a teen. I truly wish and pray that you will call your mother or someone you believe in.
Believe me; I am sure she is suffering each day worrying about you. I am sure she will not make any judgment against you. I do not know you or who your mother nor where your location you loved in USA.
However, I spotted your news so I wanted to send you this email.
Anyone, who knows Brittanee, please reply to this blog or contact 911. I am sure Brittanee’s mother will appreciate you bringing back her daughter.
In the name of the Father, the Son & Holy Spirit, please guide Brittanee and bring her back to her mother where she belongs. Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners forever and ever.
WOW that girl does not no how much trouble she has gotten into, i think those boys left her behind then some crazy idiot came along and did somthing to her or took her somewhere. first af i thnk she was very stupid to hop into a car with her friends and leave 20 hours being somewhere she is not un of wear of and i live a couple hours away from her canton N.Y and nobody is talking about it anymore? and i think her mother was very stupid to for not jupming in the car to go find her daughter i think it is her friends fault for doing that to that girl and not saying hay u really should not do this without asking STUPID her mothers fault for not leaving ontill 10 days later after she did not come home?? and her brittani’s fault for doing that to her self in myrtle beach think befor you do somthing!
Always hoping to hear of a happy ending to this heartbreaking story. I only wonder if the Drexel family was able to gain any further insight either through the psychic or private detective hired? There is hardly a day that goes by that I don’t think about the pain you must be going through. I would not wish this on anyone anywhere… Bless you for your courage in trying to do everything possible to bring her back; I admire you so very much, in spite of all the criticism you have had to endure. You are a true loving family.
I’m from her home area and I also had friends sneak off for spring break -_- its so awful it happened and I check back constantly to see if there are any updates any where. Please be more kind and considerate to the family. They’ve lost their daughter it cant get much worse.
I’m in Myrtle Beach now and was wondering where the flyers were? Have they given up hope?
Yes, the mother didn’t find out until she got a call that the girl was missing. That is why she contacted the marine friend to go and file until she got there. I pray for the family that she is found safe.
Ok people! Her mother did not find out she was out of state until after the disappearnce. Iam sure if she knew, she would of been in the first car smoking! I’m sorry to say, but foul play maybe involved in this case.
I am very concerned for this young girl, but here is a word advice for the Mother! If you knew she where she was! Why did’nt you get in your car and go pick her up. It’s simple call the front desk where she was and have security remove her from the company she was keeping considering she is a minor… then you have security call the POLICE and keep her in custody until you get there! She would be pissed for a while but when she grows up she will thank you and she can start to take to have the fear of her Mother and GOD!
I think of Britannee every day, my grandaughter goes to her school, Dawn Drexel, you are so very brave, I pray for you every day, I can only imagine how your heart is breaking, your first born, I have 3 daughters, couldn’t imagine not knowing where they were, even though they’re grown with kids of their own.I still hope that we find her safe. Never give up. God bless you and your family.
i pray everyone stays with the idea that she is ok. we can NEVER give up hope or conclude the worst has happen. many of cases have turned up with a mere runaway case and the child is fine. i hope this will be the case. i wish my best to all involved. i think all the folks who like to suggest or talk of the harsh side should keep that to themselves. if this was my child i sure wouldn’t want to read or see negitive replys. at this point every ounce of positive feelings or comments and replys would be like good to the ones who’s hearts are breaking.
well its been almost a month now since she disappeared?????? rumors where that she was still in hiding from her mother. i really doubt that senario now, i think she was a naive little girl that made the classic mistake of thinking she was mature enough to just stroll around in this ole world and be safe. i think someone really evil saw her and couldnt resist the opportunity to take advantage of her and they did. my only question is why didnt the mother go and get her the second she knew that she was in another state. my son is sixteen and and pretty big kid, but if he ran off like that i would be in my car going to get his behind. just a tragedy all around. parents and teenagers alike should take notice, this ole world is full of evil just outside your door and if you are not careful then it will suck you up like a vacuum, parents dont let your kids go strolling off to another state, just because you want a break from their little butts. this aint the 1950s people, we have alot of mentally unstable people running around and even a grown man like me watches his back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im very sorry to hear about you daughter i hope u guys find her and shes still alive……
Very sad and I hope she is found safe. The parents seemed to blame everyone but themselves. I understand they are worried sick over their child, but they did not do a very good job of keeping up with her.
OMG I am so sorry about this situation, I lived on SC and I know things are not Good in this State, and for that reason I don’t let my son to go no ware without my consent or even if he will go some were else I have to talk to an ADULT to make sure that everything will be o.k.. I WILL NOT LET MY SON OF 17 Y/O go with friends to another states because now you can see what can happen when you are not LOKKING AT YOUR KIDS!
