PROUDMOM you are not asking stupid questions! The reporting has been insane!!

1) Ice Cycle you posted this on the links thread:
http://www.wtoctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=10287623
Video of BD walking down Ocean Blvd to the Blue Water Resort (boys hotel).

It is timestamped what looks like 20:15 - so 8:15 PM correct? Says in the article "The video show her walking southbound on Ocean Boulevard around eight fifteen in the evening on Saturday, April 25."

2) The timestamp on the video of her leaving Bluewater was 8:13 PM.

So even when you have two supposedly factual things (two videos with timestamps), things aren't adding up. Either the video timestamps are off or BD headed south, not north to her hotel when she left Bluewater. Or they reported her going south WRONG.

Yeah I posted the wrong one as their was one going around that was time stamped wrong, and two of the others I posted have since been removed. Didn't know how to change them. But alot of those links have mis information and that is due to so much out there.

[tadpole]

You are saying which timestamp is off...Bluewater's right?

The news report seems to back up what has been reported all along that she left Bluewater around 8:40ish.

[FindtheLost]

My Bold, Your are correct, seems like local gossip is all, but then again, What is there to report? The local LE and volunteer groups in MB are certainly knocking their socks off looking IMO. The family members and possibly her BF are looking. What can we really expect short of a call home or a body. Think we are too used to some sort daily update/timeline. I am just so concerned the longer this goes on, the less likely will be a good happy ending.

Unfortunately, LE will give the least amount of information. They will continue to search and ask for help and anyone to come forward but they will not tell you they are onto anything. To their credit the usually get the job done with all the evidence in place. Just like the Georgetown High School - someone tipped off the media and initially LE would not even say it had anything to do with BD case. I think for so much effort to be placed on Georgetown they have more info than we know. Also, according to the news tonight the search will continue tomorrow and Saturday with horses, boats, and planes. I think they believe she is in or near the river. I do hope not.

Agree completely. LE has a job to do, and they have their reasons for releasing what they do so, or not correcting information, etc. I don't mean to fault of them of course. They ask the same questions we do and better (duh).

I can't imagine this coming to a good end at this point, but I still hold out hope. I recently saw a photo of myself at that age - maybe a little older - with my two girlfriends and I just thought - that could of been me. Felt like I owned the world, then. Was more worried about my makeup and clothes and boys than my safety. So did dumb things. Got lucky.

And one of our friends (not in the picture - she was the fourth when she was in town) did end up as - I guess now - a very cold case in Austin's LE books.

It just took me back and I just feel for this girl and her family. She was just trying to - you know - take her independence. Sow her wild oats Have some fun. No harm intended. Just figuring out who she is and what she wants. It has me very sad.

I know what you mean. I really believe by the grace of God Im still alive because I sure took some stupid chances. I never heard of this stuffing happening and it seemed safe to walk down the street at night. Either the world has changed alot or I was very stupid and uneducated. I wonder if was always like this and because we didnt have the technology to hear about it we didnt know or if people have just gone crazy.

Where is Brittanee Drexel? She's been missing for almost two weeks and today the Webster man once questioned in the case was in our News 10NBC studio to tape a national interview.

The search for 17-year-old Drexel has now moved 30 miles south of Myrtle Beachto Georgetown County. That's where the teen's cell phone gave off its last signal.

Police say they are following up on every lead. They even went to a school in Georgetown to look for clues and ask the students questions about Drexel. She was last seen leaving a hotel in Myrtle Beach where Peter Brozowitz, 20 of Webster, was staying with friends.

In his taped interview Thursday afternoon, Brozowitz was concerned about clearing his name. He said, "The media twists everything that's going on. You weren't there. I was there with four other people and I'm the one that's singled out."

Brozowitz, with local lawyer John Parrinello by his side, said he has fully cooperated with the police investigation.

Dawn and Chad Drexel, Brittanee's mother and adoptive father, are in Los Angeles in the Dr. Phil studio and were part of this interview.

While Brozowitz was defending himself, Dr. Phil broke in and told him this is not about throwing Brozowitz under the bus, it's about helping these parents find their daughter.

Still, Brozowitz feels like he is being thrown under the bus. He said, "Of course I'm concerned about Brittanee, I mean that girl is a nice girl but when I was in the room with four other kids, they're all with me the whole night and then all of a sudden my name is mentioned as a person of interest when there is absolutely no evidence, my name is spelled wrong on the national news, my family is going through hell right now. People look at me differently walking down the street, you can just imagine how I feel."

Brozowitz said Drexel was not mad when she left the hotel, which surprised Brozowitz as she had just walked a mile to get to their hotel room.

At that time, Brittanee, Brozowitz and his friends, had just started watching the Yankees-Red Sox game on TV when she got a call from her friend, mad that Brittanee had her shorts.

Brozowitz said Brittanee did not seem all that mad about turning around and walking back to return them. He offered her a ride, but she said she'd be just fine. The strip didn't bother her and she had walked alone the past few nights.


Brozowitz said he was also questioned about why he and his friends checked out of the hotel at 2 a.m. Sunday. He said it's a along drive back to Rochester and all along they had planned to leave early and had even packed before they went out on Saturday night.

We also found out from this interview they did know each other before this trips, but Brozowitz said he did not know she was going to be in Myrtle Beach.

The Dr. Phil show airing on Monday is called Behind the Headlines: Mom's Worst Nightmares.

You can watch it on News 10NBC. Dr. Phil airs weekdays at 3 p.m.

[playnice]

I have wondered why he was singled out too.

[~jomomma~]

that makes me really sad for her. :crying:

they weren't there that many nights and she had walked alone for a few nights?

[StickyBeak]

Yeah, not what she thought it was going to be, IMO. Maybe in the heat of the moment, the excitement of it all. What did mom say, she had about $100. bucks, so chip in for gas, room, not much left. Things did not work out. I still think these so called friends dissed/dumped Brittanee. Would like to hear their side of this horrible story.
Bad, nasty girls that need to have heart transplants if they think they are all that and left her to walk the streets alone and fend for herself.
Hope they never reproduce, JMO Breaks my heart, thinking this way. I have really lost faith in human kindness.


Like Paul Harvey used to say on my Dear Dad's radio: And Now you have the Rest of the Story, Good Day!

where is the kalpo brothers...how ever you spell that:wink:

[playnice]

yes, that's what i thought i just heard too....wth?

so where did she go from the hotel if she didnt go back to her room and why havent we heard this before?

[aproudmom]

my dog started yappin' so i couldn't hear it all either.

pretty much all he said it was small changes in his story.

They could be the other boys with Peter. This is starting to sound so NH all over again. What if they did meet up later after she left the hotel?

[aproudmom]

I wonder if LE searched his car?

yes and it has been returned from the reports..

[StickyBeak]

At first we heard 4 guys, then 5. I was thinking someone from that group may have followed her out and hooked up. That one pic. of a guy with JO and Brittanee gave me pause. On one of the FB or JO myspace, there was a comment, "let it alone".. Could be why this Peter Lawyered up pronto, somebody knows something. They ain't sayin
Nuttin. JMO

I will not say one way or another but don't want to get bashed I know LE said they cleared him but if it is true they were talking later after she left I have ask is there cameras at every door in that hotel...I know at Daytona we would go out a side door to go to the beach alot you have to have your key card to get back in but alot of times it was propped open...has been on my mind since they said she left there so they had nothing to do with it..just thinking out loud..I know he is not a POI nor have I heard the other guys were...

I think that is what her mom is saying they may know more and just not saying..and the BF is not privy to what LE has checked so him saying it was minor changes means nothing to me I do hope there was cameras at all those doors and they made sure not 1 of them boys left that night until they headed home...all jmo

[aproudmom]

I have found it odd they pointed only him out at the start of this if all of them were in the room would they not all have been the last to see her??why just him??

Hi,
Well I am curious why they singled him out also, their has to be some reason for it. I wonder what went on the day before when I believe they were all together. Was she invited there the next day, kinda odd her just showing up and I did read somewhere her and her BF had not been getting along, of course that could be another false report. Also he said he knew her from back home so I wonder if the others new her also, did I not read somewhere the Mother said she had met Peter before?

[aproudmom]

Things I would love to know
if cameras at all doors of the hotel we only see her going to the boys hotel we do not see her coming back towards her hotel do they have her on camera going past there or just going..what time she left her hotel to go to their hotel.. was there ever shorts why was the red flip flops in their room when they have not said she was ever at their hotel until that night only hung out with them at the beach at 11am Saturday...just why did they leave at that time..who she was talking to that night or texting..how she was going to get home on Sunday since she told her mother she would be home the next day well we all know the others did not leave until Monday how was she going to be in home on Sunday...ok I could go on and on so I will just stop..

[skysblue]

I have found it odd they pointed only him out at the start of this if all of them were in the room would they not all have been the last to see her??why just him??

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's because he is the only person from that group that she was communicating with, it certainly seems that way to me. I haven't heard any other names brought up as someone that she was talking to so I think this guy is getting all the crossed eyes because technically he was her only friend for the three days.

It really is a sad case, I mean she was walking by herself late at night on several occasions says to me that she couldn't have been a real welcomed member of this group. I can't imagine what has happened to her, but I just don't see this girl as someone who would run away to the streets, she seems more likely to run away to the holiday inn.

all I know is they all hung out Friday night then she met them at the beach at 11am on Saturday and then went to their hotel later that night as we saw...yeah the mom did say she had met him before can not remember just what she did say but why just him and not the others we all know the first local that knew him said he had money and would lawyer up well that was true...I am not sure about her and her BF but your together for 2 1/2yrs and you are OK with your G/F going off with 15 or 20 people she really does not know...not so sure what their relationship was like..have not heard..guess he trusted her to go off alone and hang out on SB at MB seems him and mom are not on the same page either mom is questioning if someone may know more and her BF says he knows they are not involved..so heck I have no idea I am sure it was a stranger abduction just alot of questions

that is the only thing I can think of cause he would not have been the last to see her if all of them were in the room and he has been the only one named by LE in the start of this maybe they knew she had talked to him later that night who knows this whole case is so hard to get the right facts..

I have to agree with you, if they have Brittanee on camera, I want to think cameras would be 24/7. LE must be aware anything going National, TV, public forums, etc. may have a bad impact on just their normal procedures. This is an area, no doubt, accustomed to runaways, hate to mention murders and sex crimes. High profile, especially during spring break and bike week. We have all read and heard about the stories. I tend to believe there are video tracks to substanciate the alibis, just hope I am K'rect. JMO

I think that might be the reason too. But surely LE has talked to the other guys to corroborate Peter's story that the guys stuck together that night.

Plus the hotel videos must have been checked to see whether Peter left. Ok he could have gone out a fire escape door but I doubt the other boys would lie on Peter's behalf, and they would get caught under segregated LE questioning I imagine.

Besides, if Peter had a thing for B, why not just scrap the game on TV and insist on taking Brittanee back to return the shorts and spend the evening with her?

Then there's the cell phone ping. If Peter was involved, why would he go 35 miles south? Are we to believe he drove her down to the Georgetown area after 9:16, spent some time with her, harmed her, disposed of her body, then drove back to leave that night and convinced his mates to lie for him? Sounds kind of convoluted.

Makes no sense he was singled out.

[doctor_J]

It may be as simple as Peter B. had the hotel room in his name,,,that got to the press... and blew up from there until LE could check video cameras, talk with everyone,,,and clear him. The TV's always behind the internet in news. Sounds like Peter is still trying to clear his name in the public.He's probably afraid of winding up with a reputation like Van der Sloot.That is, IF he's innocent, which I'm inclined to believe right now.

yeah he has not been charged with any wrong doing..and guess we have to hope everyone was checked into and nothing was overlooked..

[~jomomma~]

i don't know what to think about peter.

i know i've posted it a couple of times but i just have a feeling she may have walked back the beach side, got approached, maybe had a drink (or more than one?) at a beachside bar, maybe drugged and taken.

now, after hearing she'd walked by herself more than once, she may have been noticed and watched or looked for.

i don't know.

repeat on NG

It has always bothered me he was always referred to being the last to see her when there was others in the room..and no mention of them..the ping is the main thing that makes me think she was taken by someone she did not know..lune breaking news the guy just turned himself in who shot the girl at Wes University not sure if you seen it..

[aproudmom]

ok so now we hear he left the deposit because they would not come and inspect his room..seems we hear so many different stories someone said it was to be refunded through the mail..I give up on trying to figure out all this stuff it changes way to much..I am sure someone saw a young girl walking alone and well who knows what happened after that..

What time the boys left and not waiting for the deposit never really bothered me. Considering how long it takes to get from Rochester down to MB the time they left puts them home Sunday evening. Leaving at 2am would seem like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. As for the deposit I can assume he either a. figured they'd refund it to his CC that he booked the room with or they trashed the room so bad that they knew they weren't getting their deposit back.

What I personally have found strange is Brittanee telling her mom she'd be home on Sunday. Considering that the girls weren't planning to leave until Sunday morning they wouldn't be home until well into Monday morning. If it was a 14 hour drive *with no traffic* and they planned to leave at 11am (when check out was) she wouldn't be home until about 1am Monday morning.

I wonder if BD went to the boys room that night to see if she could catch a ride home to NY with them and they couldn't take her with them and she tried to get a ride with someone else she randomly met along the way. It would seem that the time Peter and his friends were leaving would fit in with the time she told her mom she would be home.

I have no clue on anything..lol..and I am not sure I have wondered how she would be home on Sunday like she told her mom unless she was going to try to come up with a reason to stay out another night..I travel at night or try to hit certain states at a certain time so I can avoid rush hour so I can see that being a reason but it is all the reasons we have heard that is not one of them..lol..so you just added to them..thanks J/K had to say it :biggrin:

the girls left on Monday not Sunday they moved hotels on Sunday

[aproudmom]

that makes me really sad for her. :crying:

they weren't there that many nights and she had walked alone for a few nights?

Well I have to assume the LE checked out the boys story and alibi of the college party and the girls also or they would be considering them. But it appears to me that everyone involved is keeping things not that it is necessarily pertains to her disappearance. If she got into it with the girls before she left to go to the boys hotel and possibly they wanted to stay another night and she did not. Maybe she went to get a ride home with the boys but then realized with 5 of them their would not be enough room so she didn't mention it.
So I also think it was possible she was trying to find a ride home. I also wonder if LE is ever going to give a pc on this.

I stumbled upon a forum that listed the myspace pages of some of the boys that went to MB on the internet. I found it to be strange how none of the ones I went to had even mentioned anything about BD being missing? How much odder can this case get?

[doctor_J]

She told her mom she would be home on Sunday, the next day, because she was still lying to her. IF she was trying to come clean by saying "I'm at the beach", she did not clear it up when Dawn said "Oh Charlotte, It's a beautiful day!" Since she was supposed to be at a friend',s she probably kept saying she'd be home tomorrow and getting by one day at a time. Next day, another excuse. After all, we have not heard her reason for not coming home Thursday or Friday nights. She originally asked to spend the night with a friend on a Wed.

Dawn gave her a long, very loose leash. I feel sure she knew Brittanee was in MB after the 2nd night, if not before. She was too self-involved to press the issue or decided to "pick her battles" and that was not one she chose. Once I got a look at Dawn's Myspace, it confirmed my instincts about Brittanee's supervision. Doesn't mean I don't feel sorry for her.

I saw them last week and was alittle shocked also..

[doctor_J]

I don't think there are any reasonable scenarios in which Brittanee can come out of this unharmed. That being said, I still have hope of her being alive. My only remaining hope is that her abductor has not killed her. There have been remarkable cases of children surviving days or even weeks and months of captivity and abuse only to escape alive. I'm hoping the person who convinced her to go with him, has kept her alive, even if only for some perverted reason. Where there is life, there is hope. Maybe, just maybe, she can get to a phone or in some way, escape. There IS still hope.

I think you could be right but I can not judge mom I am not in her shoes and would never want to be...and do not live in their home so I don't know..all I do know is she told her NO she could not go to MB...I saw her mothers myspace on the 2nd or 3rd night and did not see anything about the way she parented her children perhaps she was divorcing and moving on I just can not pass judgement she does have a missing child and I do not know if she allowed her to run wild or what ever but she did tell her no about MB but you make a good point...

Hi there proudmom! Missed you yesterday, (or was it day before?). Afraid you might be sick because you said something about it the day before.

I just really don't want to lose hope on Brittanee. She made the same mistake that millions of teenagers make everyday and I hope she does not have to pay with her life. We all made them ourselves and seen out own kids make bad choices. Thank God most of them survive those choices and then grow up and learn from them. I hope Brittanee, gets that chance.

BD had so much going for her, deapite her homelife being in turmoil.She was beautiful and athletic and a good student. She would have soon been away at college possibly.

I remember it and someone looked up "panging" in the urban dictionary. Didn't save it though and doubt it's in the links since it was Myspace.

I just read on another forum that "panging" was a term some kids use for the high off X. I guess that means ecstasy? Makes me wonder if there were drugs involved, maybe a possible overdose?

JMO


Even as a middle aged adult, I've taken people on free trips, making it perfectly clear the trip was free, but not my services to be the activities director. I would go my way; they would go their own way. The free part was air/hotel/food.


Yes, that's how most "middle-aged adults" may approach a trip but young adults and teens normally DO NOT. A group trip is just that, a group trip at that age and there doesn't appear to be any evidence that the entire intent of taking BD was to only give her a ride. I think, and it's jmo, that BD never would have gone to MB if she thought she was just catching a ride and would be off on her own.

[juliekan]

short kid:

that is probably very true.

my daughter went out with her best friend and other "friends" and went missing after they all ditched.

we found her, and a life lesson learned. thank jesus.

and no more of the "friends" OR the then "best friend".

[Maelstrom5]

Questions, questions, and more questions.

I have been following everyone’s posts; a few observations.

Question; did Britt’s BF know she was in MB? A-Yes. Did he know she was hanging out with a number of men or was going to Peter’s room that night? A-no, he said she did not speak about them because she knew he would no like the fact she was hanging with a bunch of guys.

Question; why was Peter’s name mentioned first, why was he singled out? A- John H was the person who reported Brittanee missing and he knows Peter. According to Pink21, who said she knows the players involved, he does not like Peter. Pink posted that it goes back to typical HS drama and a fight over, you guessed it, a girl. John H is the first person who mentions Peter and raised the questions. By the time he did so (Sunday AM) Peter and his friends were already on their way back to New York and that’s why the police needed to talk to Peter. Remember he and his friends had left MB before the MBPD even knew Brittanee was missing. It’s not clear when Peter first learned that Brittanee was missing but it seems clear that no one talked to him face to face before the police interview.

Question; why did Peter get a lawyer? A- According to Peter by Monday he was getting bombarded by the press and also getting a number menacing messages.

Question; When is a room deposit returned to a hotel quest? A- After the room has been checked by housekeeping. If you leave before they can do so, they keep your deposit until they get the chance to make sure nothing has been broken or stolen. I have left a deposit behind a number of times when I had a very early flight to catch.

Question; How could Brittanee get back home Sunday if the people she went down with were not going to check out till 11am? JMO, Britt may have wanted to get back by Sunday evening but the “friends” had their own agenda and by Saturday it seems clear Brittanee was pretty much on her own. This may have been one of the reasons why she told JG that she was not having a good time and could hardly wait to get home.

It seems to me that Peter has been singled out because his name was first mentioned by JH. The press picked up on it and the public, myself included, started to wonder if he was responsible. Since then nothing he has done; and nothing the police have stated points in his direction to the exclusion of anyone else, but the media keeps bring his name up.

For some reason no one wants to question the actions of a number of people who: 1- Brought a minor across state lines without parental consent. 2- Helped establish a lie as to her location by pretending to a parent. 3- Gave a minor alcohol, although it seems most everyone was under the legal age so in that regard Britt was just one of the crowd. 4- Pretty much left MB went back to NY and continued about their lives like nothing much had happened. Brittanee for them is just another pretty girl whose picture should be posted on FaceBook. Brittanee’s disappearance for them seems to be just a minor distraction in an otherwise successful vacation.

Like everyone else I would love for the MBPD to have a press conference and establish a clear timeline; every news report I read seems to contradict the last.

I agree ...and the girls. They all have their pictures from the beach up. One thing I think has messed this up...is BD traveled with it looks like 3 other girls and about 4 or 5 guys. THEN Peter and his crew are DIFFERENT guys than the ones in all the photos. So, alot of people ...hope all were questioned throughly. I think PB was prob singled out because that was the name BD gave either her BF or whoever she texted..she was going to see him at his hotel. AND she knew him from NY. I am not sure she knew the other boys from NY other than meeting them while they were out.

Hi all,

Yesterday someone asked if there was any good news out there? I was hesitant to post this before I knew the name of the teen whose body was recovered in NC. When NCMEC has a death to report they normally post that “it is with great sadness and deep regret that we notify you that “XYZ’ child has been recovered deceased” but I wanted to make sure first. The good news: Valeria Castro missing from New Bern, NC, has been recovered.

Valeria was 15 when she went missing Jan. 30 2008

I couldn't agree more! Ugh, talk about self-centered, callous people. I wish the media would start hounding them.

Yes, as everyone has noticed, the media and Nancy Grace cannot be bothered to first, get the facts right, as regards Peter B, in their rush to call him a POI, and second, and most egregiously, they continually fail to report the fact that Brittanee was seen ON VIDEOTAPE LEAVING HIS HOTEL UNHARMED AND ALONE.

If they can explain a credible theory with some evidence that he met up with her later since she never even made it back to her room on that walk back, I'll listen. Also if they can explain why her cellphone pinged in Georgetown which is not near Myrtle Beach or remotely close to being on the way back to Rochester, then I'll listen. Until then, please stick to the facts, Media people, sheesh.

I have a question: just because Peter Brozowitz left MB early in the morning hours, left his $100 deposit behind etc. and Got a Lawyer does not mean that he had anything to do with the dissapearance of Brittanee right?

Search for missing teen moves to Charleston County

CHARLESTON COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - A search party is in Francis Marion Forest in Charleston County, as well as the Santee River hoping to find a missing 17-year-old girl.

Thursday night, members of that search party were at Thornhill Farm off Highway 17 in McClellanville. The farm is serving as the staging area for the expanded search for Brittanee Drexel. Law enforcement officers from across the Lowcountry and the Grand Strand are planning to meet there Friday morning.

Two horses have been brought to Thornhill Farm to be used in the search.

A spokeswoman for the farm says they were contacted by search parties Thursday morning.

Drexel was last seen more than a week ago leaving a Myrtle Beach hotel. Authorities say her cell phone signal hit a tower in an area of Georgetown County near the Santee River.

A search of the river turned up no sign of Drexel. So far, that's been the only clue in the case of the missing girl.

Thursday night, Charleston County Sheriff's Office Maj. John Clark says searchers asked for the county helicopter earlier Thursday to begin aerial mapping.

Hi Slick Lime, I think PB is being treated unfairly because people are pointing the finger at him and saying " You had something to do with Brittanee's disapearance".

I really don't think he had anything to do with her vanishing, unless LE knows something that we don't.

Searchers with Texas based Laura’s Recover Center are in the area working with local officials to check the area, but since the area has unique terrain and wild animals such as alligators, boars and snakes the search is unique, said Bob Walcutt, executive director, Laura’s Recovery Center.

``Normally we have emergent volunteers, searchers from street who help, but in this case we are relying more on search and rescue teams who are prepared to get out in that environment,’’ Walcutt said.

Myrtle Beach police Capt. David Knipes said there was no new information Friday morning on Drexel’s disappearance or clues to her whereabouts. Police have logged more than 200 tips about her, he said.

``They’ve expanded the search area from Georgetown County and are doing some searches in Charleston County. I don’t think there’s anything new to go on they’re just expanding the area,’’ Knipes said. ``We’re continuing to track down leads and tips and we’re following up on each and every one of them.’’

[Ltlcheryl]

I have not read thru all the threads on this BD, but have a few thoughts / comments. First of all, I live about an hour away from Myrtle Beach and I have a 19 year old daughter and we go to Myrtle Beach quite frequently. In fact, I was there on the Blvd. the night BD went missing. My husband and I go down to the Blvd, sometimes just to "people watch". It can be quite comical. We have done this for years and years, and it's amazing how many young girls are just roaming alone on the strip. I have told my daughters the dangers of the Blvd and have always stressed to her "NEVER" walk or drive on that strip alone. It's very dangerous. I guess I do not understand why Peter was ever a POI? He and the whole group of boys should have been questioned for sure. They were the last one's to see her. But, to have them as POI, I never understood. Especially after the footage of the hotel which plainly shows her leaving there, unharmed. I don't think any of them had anything to do with her disapperance. Then, we get to the group of girls she went down there with. I don't understand why they let her walk alone to the other hotel, but thats teenage "stuff" and teenagers don't always see the "danger" in this kind of behavior. In fact, up until this, my daughter always thought I was just being a mean, overprotective mom for not letting her walk 2 blocks down the Myrtle Beach Blvd alone. Now she knows why. Back to the girls. I can see them having their "own" plans and not including Britt if they were arguing with her. I still am not clear on why the change in hotels and when they changed? Was is Saturday night while Britt was gone that they changed hotels, or Sunday Morning? I am still not clear on that. And when did they leave to go back to NY? I find it VERY ODD that they left without her and then posted her pictures all over their facebooks like nothing had happened. Although, if you look at the dates some of the pictures were posted, they were posted from facebook mobile while they were still at MB. I am also wondering why NONE of the girls have said a word about any of this. I am sure LE have informed them not to talk, but if Peter is talking, and her boyfriend is talking, it looks like the girls would come forward and say something to help find Britt. Have they lawyered up to? I don't think any of them have anything to do with her disapperance either, but they sure are not helping in finding her either. Not that I have heard. I personally think BD was abducted while walking back to her hotel. There are just so many unanswered questions, and all the stories seem to be changing daily. There is video footage of her walking down the blvd. but I wonder if she chose to walk on the beach at some point instead of the stip, and went thru an alleyway to get to the beach. Sometimes its faster to walk on the beach from hotel to hotel than walk down the strip, alot less crowded. Especially if she was upset and crying, maybe she just chose to walk the beach instead of the strip. I am not quite sure on the search in Georgetown. Depending on where she was in MB, there are many times when I am there, my cell phone will roam, and there is no telling which tower I am pulling off of. The parts of Georgetown they are searching are very remote areas. Many plantations around those parts and hundreds of untamed acres. But if I have one hope, its that EVERYBODY has a bestfriend. Whoever took BD, if this be the case, has a bestfriend, and bestfriends will talk. Sooner or later, someone will tell something. I pray for the Drexel family and hope they get some news soon. Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts. I know this is long, and most of these topics have been discussed before.

Why does BD's boyfriends myspace page show his status as married? Have I missed something here?

my 13yr old son does that when he has a new g/f so I do not pay to much attention to that plus last I looked he had not even been on since March..alot say they are 99 yrs old so don't read to much into it Sunshine..lol..:wink:

[aproudmom]

Why would it be surprising the boys went out Saturday night?

:confused:

IIRC they watched the game and left..why has it changed again..Her B/F was on HLN or CNN can not remember which one..he said he does not think they did anything wrong she had been into it with some of the girls he said they had video of her walking back to her hotel who ever interviewed him said are you sure it was not her walking TO the boys room..so I am not so sure he even knows to much..LE has said that is video of her walking to the boys hotel

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Searchers are combing another coastal South Carolina county for a New York teen who went missing nearly two weeks ago in Myrtle Beach.

Officers on Friday were searching in Charleston County for 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel.

Drexel was reported missing April 26, a day after police say she was last seen after leaving a group of friends. The group had traveled from Rochester, N.Y.

Last week, investigators searched Georgetown County, where Drexel's cell phone last gave off a signal. It also gave off a signal in Charleston County.

Drexel may have been depressed because her mother and stepfather were going through a divorce, her mother said.

"Yesterday, 20-year-old Peter Brozowitz, with local lawyer John Parrinello by his side, came to our studio to take an interview for the Dr. Phil show.

Brotzowitz was one of the ones last to see Drexel on April 25 the night she disappeared. He says he has fully cooperated with police and wants to clear his name.

Dawn and Chad Drexel, Brittanee's mother and adoptive father, were in Los Angeles in the Dr. Phil studio and were part of the interview.

Brozowitz says he's being singled out. As to why he and his friends checked out of the hotel at 2 a.m. Sunday, he said it's a long drive home and all along they planned to leave early, even packing before they went out on Saturday night.

He also said he offered to drive Brittanee back to her hotel but she said no."

Although I haven't posted here but a few times, I have been following along . . .

So, now her phone also pinged in Charleston County? I've read every single post and don't remember hearing that before. Is this new to everyone else?

Also, there's been much speculation here about Brittanee possibly having a fight with the people she went to MB with. From a news link posted yesterday, it looks like that speculation was spot on. It stated that Brittanee went to the guy's hotel room after having a falling out with the "friends" she traveled with. It seems so sad to me that information keeps trickling out a little a time and wasn't made available from the get-go. Makes me wonder what other info we don't know about yet. I think this group of people she originally came to MB with need to be looked at quite closely. Does it seem strange to anyone else that there's been no info about them or media hounding them? Makes me wonder if one of them has kin in high places that's keeping it quiet. Just seems really odd that we haven't heard anything from them.

I pray Brittanee is found safe and sound but I'm not too optimistic that will happen . . .

[omsk99]

no problem....been reading the posts and saw that, I figured it was some new info. I wonder how legit those leads are. Reading those it makes it sound like a runaway.

I still can't believe the girls she went down there with have not been questioned like Peter has. One of them got on the phone and lied to Brit's mother pretending to be a parent...so, they take Brittanee to a place she doesn't know, makes up a story to her mother on where she is, then basically ditches Brittanee on the trip. They then switch hotels WHILE Brittanee's stuff is still in the room, Brit vanishes, and the girls take off without even a care in the world about her. Why did they switch hotels again??

I would like to know the history between Brittanee and the group of girls she was with. I could easily see how they would be jealous of Brit. Also, there are some shady looking people in those pics posted on facebook. Don't judge a book by it's cover, but at this point everything is suspect. Plus, they call her to bring shorts to the room, were the shorts that important the girl needed them right then?? Why did the girl need her shorts so bad to make Brittanee walk all the way back to the room? She couldn't get them later? It's a stretch, but what if that was a setup to get Brittanee along and abducted?

Maybe the police know more about these girls and are withholding information so it doesn't get leaked so the girls feel comfortable they are clear, then approach them again. I really hope they find her safe, this is such a sad story.

I don't think those were really leads, but rather reported sightings by civilians which needed to be investigated. For example, the sighting on the bus in a pink hoody was confirmed to be someone else, a girl who works in one of the hotels. Unfortunately, it appears that none of those sightings were Brittanee.

As for the girls changing hotels, I would imagine they had to leave the room so LE could secure and search it, since this is where BD was staying. Given it was a spring break, there may not have been any rooms available at the same hotel, so they had to move to another one.

I also heard BD's BF John Grieco say on TV that Brittanee and the girls were acquaintances at best, not friends, so they probably freaked out when all of this started happening. The shorts... I can see someone (that young) really wanting to get them back, especially if they didn't bring a lot of clothes with them. Maybe she borrowed them for an hour and ended up wearing them for a couple of days, who knows...

I also would imagine LE have talked to the girls, but they haven't been in the spotlight as much as Peter because he is the last known person to have seen Brittanee.

By no means am I defending anyone, just trying to answer your thougts (great ones!) and rationalize a few things. I do think this was a stranger abduction, and as much as I'd like to hope for the best, I don't think this will be the case :sad:

[Ice Cycle]

Although I haven't posted here but a few times, I have been following along . . .

So, now her phone also pinged in Charleston County? I've read every single post and don't remember hearing that before. Is this new to everyone else?

Also, there's been much speculation here about Brittanee possibly having a fight with the people she went to MB with. From a news link posted yesterday, it looks like that speculation was spot on. It stated that Brittanee went to the guy's hotel room after having a falling out with the "friends" she traveled with. It seems so sad to me that information keeps trickling out a little a time and wasn't made available from the get-go. Makes me wonder what other info we don't know about yet. I think this group of people she originally came to MB with need to be looked at quite closely. Does it seem strange to anyone else that there's been no info about them or media hounding them? Makes me wonder if one of them has kin in high places that's keeping it quiet. Just seems really odd that we haven't heard anything from them.

I pray Brittanee is found safe and sound but I'm not too optimistic that will happen . . .

Hello all,
I do, I do, Also not sure why their is not more correct facts in this case. But as I said the other day it could have something to do with the fact that she is not local.

"Yesterday, 20-year-old Peter Brozowitz, with local lawyer John Parrinello by his side, came to our studio to take an interview for the Dr. Phil show.

Brotzowitz was one of the ones last to see Drexel on April 25 the night she disappeared. He says he has fully cooperated with police and wants to clear his name.

Dawn and Chad Drexel, Brittanee's mother and adoptive father, were in Los Angeles in the Dr. Phil studio and were part of the interview.

Brozowitz says he's being singled out. As to why he and his friends checked out of the hotel at 2 a.m. Sunday, he said it's a long drive home and all along they planned to leave early, even packing before they went out on Saturday night.

He also said he offered to drive Brittanee back to her hotel but she said no."

http://www.whec.com/news/stories/S921369.shtml?cat=565

I think he is doing the right thing he has been the only one pointed out as seeing her last..so they did go out Saturday night wonder if the other group went out at the same place..

[Ltlcheryl]

I to am finding it ODD that there is NOTHING being said about or from the girls she traveled down to MB with. I know that there may be legal issues with her being a minor and them adults BUT with that being said, one of them needs to show face. Its just does not fit this whole case that the group of how many girls and not one WORD from them?? This whole time, I have thought she was abducted, and still think that, and the longer it goes that she is not found, the more I am afraid the outcome will not be good. But for her Mom, Peter, John, and her boyfriend to all speak out, and not a word from these girls, kinda makes me re-think if the girls have the answers? I don't know. Just randomly thinking out loud. If this were my daughters friends, I know they would be there and no attorney could keep their mouths shut. I find the silence of these girls more odd than anything else in this case---for now.

[Ltlcheryl]

The leaving the deposit behind does not seem suspicious to me at all. In my travels, the deposit is held via credit card and is credited back to the card once you check out and things are good. This part has never really been a puzzle to me because most hotels in MB would not give you back cash, they would apply the credit to your card you used when making the reservation. And I saw the pictures on facebook with Britt and the girls and guys. Were these guys in the pictures also staying in the same hotel room? I could not imagine that many people in one room. Its a wonder they did not get kicked out of that room on day one if all those people were in one room. Does anyone have any links that show anything the other girls have said? Just curious I guess since I am finding that part of this mystery so very very odd.

[barefoot]

I TOTALLY agree! I was thinking of acquaintances of mine or if I were in the girls position. It's not like she was a stranger to these girls, they knew her, and obviously knew her well enough to let her take a 16 hour drive with them, share a room, and hang out together the first couple days (photo's of this on facebook). It makes NO sense whatsoever that they just get up and leave without Brittanee. I, along with anyone I know, would without question be trying to help or atleast show some sort of concern about someone you shared your trip with. That is SO odd. The fact we are talking about it, tells me the authorities have/are as well. I think they are keeping quiet about alot so it doesn't get leaked.

It would be nice to get a timeline of everything that night. From the moving of hotels, the actions of the guys, girls, calls, texts, etc. Did Peter know Brit was missing before he left?? If that is the case, how odd. He's known her for 2 years, supposedly, hears she's missing and leaves so fast he doesn't care to even pick up his deposit? Then gets a lawyer right when he gets home?! That is a red flag right there. To me, he knows something for sure. No one would do that, period, unless you have a reason to be worried. When someone you know goes missing, there are more important things in life than work and school, esp. someone you've known for a couple years. Plus...been wanting to say this, is it me, or does this Peter guy, along with the most of these wanna be's look like the biggest douche bag?

The lawyer part doesn't strike me as a red flag. If someone I was close to disappeared, and the media was starting to banter my name around as a suspect, I'd certainly get a lawyer. Of course, I have no idea if Peter's innocent or not, but I don't blame him for getting a lawyer regardless.

From the sketchy time line it seems as though Peter did not know she was missing before he left. He apparently left between 1am and 2am. I believe the boyfriend grew concerned around the same time and she was not officially reported missing until 5am.

There are different stories floating around:

1: The boyfriend got worried and called the friends. When the friends couldn't find her he called mom who called the marine.

2: Friends called bf, bf called mom, mom called marine.

3: Bf got worried called friend then called marine who called mom.

This seems to have all occurred between 2am and 3am so It would seem that regardless of who called who Peter would have been gone before she was discovered missing. He probably found out while still on the way home. He might not have even made it far when he found out and I believe he only lawyered up AFTER his name was tossed around the media a little bit. Personally I think having your name thrown around like that and being the last one to see a young girl alive (as a male) would make anyone squeamish. Most people would get a lawyer. It's not unheard of for the LE to coerce people and pin crimes on them just to get a resolution whether correct or not.

[Sunshine1]

:sad: Looks like NG is not going to be covering BD tonite.

[Maelstrom5]

you're right, there is nothing wrong with leaving the deposit behind, the problem is the perception these kids are giving everyone. Common sense would tell someone to stick around when someone in your group, or a friend of 2 years goes missing. Common sense would also tell the ones involved to get out of there. Think about it.

Hi ksm1616,

You are missing the point. No one knew Brittanee was missing when Peter and his friends started home. And the group Brittanee came to MB with was not the group of men Peter was with.

[Ice Cycle]

supposedly. Is that confirmed Peter and his group didn't know or is that just assumed? Even if he says so, I think it's still sketchy at this point. But the girls knew she was missing and took off. I guess that is why everyone is surprised about their actions. I knew that there were two separate groups. Didn't they all know each other though? So many pieces to this giant puzzle.

I don't know if he did or not and it is not that uncommon to have the depot credited later-especially to a group of boys. But I agree their are some behavior questions but probably doesn't pertain to her disappearance and actually I have have more questions about the girls actions than their's. But as I have said surly LE has asked those questions.

[Ice Cycle]

Does anyone know if their has been any reports about the search today? Weren't they suppose to use the dogs today? Which I kind of questions why they haven't used them sooner.

[Ice Cycle]

All I heard was they were now searching in Charleston County. I think I read her cell phone pinged a signal there as well. I did read they would have close to 100 search GROUPS looking for Brittanee on Saturday. If she's out there in that area, she'll be found with that many groups!

As far as the search today, no big news. Just they were using horses, and a helicopter to map out the search area. I wonder why they haven't looked north of Myrtle, esp. if they have POI in that group heading back to New York. The cell phone ping in Georgetown could have just been a diversion. Who knows at this point.

Yeah that thought has occurred to me many times, I have many questions about the cell phone, such as was it turned off after her last text because I find it odd if their is no pings from then until Georgetown and Charleston Counties.

Here is the link from the news tonight. Didn't say anything about the dogs but did say they moved a little farther to Charleston County. Used horses and helicopter.

I thought there was also a ping in Surfside. But I can't find the link.

Thanks for the link but where is Surfside, how close to where she was staying?

If you look at the map you can see how close Surfside is.

If going 17 south - you would go through Surfside to get to Georgetown.

TY again for the link, I have a map but didn't point out Surfside and not real great at maps. But noticed this the other day, is not that MB park before you get to where the pings were at? Wondering if that has been searched.

Yes, but MB State Park is a gated area so I don't think anyone could get in there especially in the middle of the night. I need to ask my husband since he takes the boys there quite a bit.

Thanks. so it seems that the media report of the 9:15 text was false. Her traveling friends last spoke to her at 8:pm
So that must have been when they called her about the shorts.

Well that is what I heard originally and that the b/f is the one who she texted at 9:15, course still don't know if that is true. I did noticed the report does not say when her traveling friends changed hotel's.

[playnice]

Ive heard so many stories on the texting. I wish we had an actual timeline of the texts. Its very confusing.

[playnice]

The 9:15 text was to her boyfriend, John G, who was back in Rochester.

This missing persons report lists the last time her travelling companions were in touch with her - at the time they estimated 8:00. Since then the time has been corrected to about 8:45, when she last contacted them that she was coming back to the hotel.

The missing persons report was filed at 5 a.m. the Sunday morning she went missing - so probably there are some guesses.

so if she left the boys hotel at 8:40 and she talked to her bf at 9:15 where in the heck was she for 30 min since she didnt show up at her hotel?
I wish something would happen soon.:sad:

i find it interesting that in the one dream viewing, he mentions Mt. Pleasant SC. also in that same one, there's a distinctive H.L.

there is a H.L. Hunley Submarine in North Charleston,SC....right next to Mt. Pleasant. it's a tourist attraction at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center.

look at this map. it's so close to the Francis Marion Forest too that they are now searching!

Vigil keeps hope alive

About 75 people crowded onto a beach access at Hurl Rock Park for a vigil Friday night, sharing candles and wearing T-shirts with a picture of Brittanee Drexel, the 17-year-old New York teen who disappeared from Myrtle Beach on April 25.

Drexel's mother, stepfather and other family held back tears as a priest led the group in a chorus of "Amazing Grace."

"It's going to be Mother's Day and my two other kids are at home, and I don't know where she is," said Dawn Drexel, Brittanee's mother, who was wearing an ankle wrap because she sprained her ankle going door-to-door in her 13-day search for her daughter. "I'm going to spend Mother's Day looking for her ... I'm just hoping and praying that [the vigil and the search] will bring her to us."

Candlelight vigil held for missing teen, dozens of strangers turn out

Sunday morning, the largest search in 13 days will take place for a missing New York teen who was last seen in the heart of Myrtle Beach.


People have been searching by foot, door to door, endlessly looking for any leads, but no sign of Brittanee.

Friday night, with searching still going on, family, friends and even those who've never even met the teen gathered to just pray for Brittanee's safe return.

There were all sorts of emotions at Friday's candlelight vigil. Sad emotions - considering Brittanee is still missing - but there were also good emotions in the form of appreciation for the dozens of strangers who turned out to support the family.

Perfect strangers were singing crying and praying with the Drexel family. People came out with shirts and signs with messages for Brittanee and for a mother and father who are left to wonder about their daughter.

:rose: for Brittanee's family

[Maelstrom5]

Today is an especially sad day. Today Brittanee and John should have been getting ready to go to her HS prom. Getting ready for the obligatory parent photo’s that a mother takes to help catalog the growth of her child. Getting ready to listen to a song that forevermore would signify a turning point, from child to adult.
Getting ready for the group shots with friends that decades later, at a class reunion, they would look back on and wonder “were we ever that young?”

Instead today will be spent searching for Brittanee, hoping against hope to find her alive but knowing with each passing day that the odds become longer; knowing it is likely Brittanee is already gone.

No prom, no first job, no husband, no babies; it will be spent knowing Brittanee will probably always be 17.
