Drexel’s grandmother Carol Wagner tells News 13 that they are concentrating on the same area again because that’s where her grand daughter’s cell phone signal was picked up more than two weeks ago.
Wagner continued by saying that the family plans to hand out flyers and business cards with Drexel’s information to truckers coming into and going out of the state.
Wagner also added that family and friends have so far passed out hundreds of business cards to bikers at several stops in North Myrtle Beach, Surfside and Murrell’s Inlet.
One Harley Davidson customer said Wagner even added information about Drexel on a biker website.
Drexel was last seen on April 25th leaving the Blue Water Hotel on Ocean Blvd.
Several search crews from Georgetown Sheriff’s office, Myrtle Beach Police and Charleston County including Community United Effort or CUE scoured parts of Georgetown, McClellanville and Charleston County for eleven days before calling off the search on May 9th.

According to Capt. David Knipes, someone called police to report seeing a girl matching Drexel’s description getting into a car at the Scotchman store at the corner of Old Highway 544 and Socastee Boulevard around 8:30 a.m.
Police investigation turned up no results.
Drexel’s family will be going back out on Tuesday to McClenllanville and Charleston County to continue with the search efforts.

well i would like to tell night shift, that look this has nothing to do with myrtle beach. this could have happened anywhere… and no they are not making up everything to make this town look good. and this is a wonderful place to vacation.. my hearts go out to the family but my opinion is that she ran away.. i mean she could be anywhere… but like i said before this could happen anywhere. and this is not no murder town. this is the first time something like this has happened.
THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ANYWHERE IN ANY TOWN IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE MBEACH AND IT WILL NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM GOING TO THE BEACH. IT JUST AS LIKELY COULD HAVE HAPPENED IN HER TOWN WHICH I BELIEVE WAS NEW YORK DO YOU HONESTLEY THINK THAT WOULD STOP PEOPLE FROM GOING TO NEW YORK. STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS IN EVERY TOWN AND I HOPE THIS CHILD IS FOUND SAFE AND THIS TURNS OUT DIFFERENTLY THAN PEOPLE ARE EXPECTING, I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND IT WOULD BE SO HARD GOING TROUGH THIS NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED.
How can you blaim this on Myrtle Beach? Although I feel for the family and loved ones, the child apparently doesn’t make great choices such as the one she made to lie to her parents about her where abouts. I pray that she is found to give the family some piece of mind but who are you to point the finger at Myrtle Beach for this?
They can keep pretending to have seen this missing child until they are blue in the face, but the tourist will not be fooled into thinking that it is now ok to come to Myrtle Beach.
Just how many families are going to let their loved ones come anywhere near Myrtle Beach now that the word is out. No one will ever let any family members go to that town, ever again. Maybe that is why it is now being called Murder Beach the Ghost Town.
You can bet that Myrtle Beach will be doing everything they can and making up as many positive stories as possible to trick tourist into ignoring the obvious and come their anyway. I think it is way too late for them to be pretending like they are a good place to vacation. Tourist are a lot smarter than these so called leaders think they are.
