The search for missing 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel, missing since she walked out of the Blue Water Resort April 25, moved to Georgetown Wednesday.
Drexel family members from New York and Florida flew in Tuesday night to help with ground searches in Georgetown County Wednesday.
The group, which included Drexel’s great aunt Cheryl Tomasso, handed out flyers in Georgetown.
“You don't thin it's ever going to happen to you,” Tomasso said as she handed a flyer to a man in Georgetown.
Drexel’s family continue holding out hope that they’ll find her safe; that hope includes theories about what happened April 25, “She maybe met a couple people and she saw them again at another time and went with them, or like my brother said, she might have made the wrong choice and made a decision that maybe was the wrong one for her.”
Georgetown County investigators spent several hours questioning people near the Hopsewee Plantation Wednesday about the case.
The plantation is in the area where Myrtle Beach Police said they picked up a signal from Drexel’s cell phone a few hours after she went missing April 25.
Searches are planned using cadaver dogs in the Hopsewee area for later this week.
The CUE Center for Missing Persons out of Wilmington, NC plan to use cadaver dogs to continue searching the area investigators think Drexel’s cell may be.
If you have any information about this case, you are asked to call the Myrtle Beach Police Department at 843-918-1382.
