OK, I watch it on Sunday mornings here. It is a syndicated TV show named "Missing" it's addy is
http://www.usamissing.com/
I don't think Mark is affliated with this one, I got my sites mixed up. Sorry, altough it is a good show, and Mark's is a great service as well

the group Mark is involved with is Beyond Missing and it's addy is http://www.beyondmissing.com/
This site sends out immediate info on amber alerts etc, and was most recently used in the case of the 4 yr old kidnapped out of her front yard in TX, the one whose sister tried to help..........she was found safe and sound within 24 hrs. I remember Mark being on NG and talking about how they sen out thousands of email alerts to gas stations, convenience stores, LE depts for a 100 mike radius for that child.

[kelloggirl]

Here's hoping that this week brings promising clues and leads to solving the disappearance of Brittanee. I hope she is safe and alive, but that if she is not, she is found and returned to her family and those responsible are found quickly. :rose:

[TexanLisa]

Another week and still no Britt.

I hope that something breaks this week, her family deserves answers.

Vigil for Brittanee Drexel

Finally, a hint someone gets it.

**Snipped**

“..The 17-year-old's disappearance has taken a toll on her family. Her father was sobbing during the vigil. Many of her friends came to support one another. However, the girls Brittanee went on vacation with did not go to the vigil.

"I knew they weren't gonna show up," said Brittanee's best friend Tara Friedman. She was one of the first people to get the call that Brittanee was missing…”

I wonder what went so wrong with Brit and the kids in MB that caused so much tension that they appear to not have wanted anything to do with her in MB or even now act like they just dont care?

Well, I wouldn't have expected them to show up, after all, they didn't care about Britt when she was with them. Why should they care about her now? It's obvious these chicks are way low on the class meter.

Even Scott Peterson went to Laci's vigil (albeit he was on the phone with Amber). <insert rolly polly eyes here>

LOL, you are right but I keep going back to a question I posed a week or so ago; if they cared so little for Brittanee why did they ask her to go?

Could it be because there were only a handful of women in that group of 15? Was Brittanee asked to go with them to help even out the male/female ratio? Could that have something to do with why they are silent?

And what are the alibis for that group? Where were they the evening in question?

[Breazy]

Praying for Brittanee and hoping for something, ANYTHING, to be found that leads to her . . .

[juliekan]

Brittanee met PB, club promoter before this trip. "Locals" who posted here early on said it was not unusual for underage kids to get into clubs with fake ids. Could be something as simple as Brit being somewhere that that group of girls and guys were and they were discussing their trip, maybe while drinking. Brit could have said, "ooh, I'd love to go." Snarky girls say "ooh you should come." Didn't mean it but said it. Then Brit is all excited to be asked along on the trip with the older kids (when they never really meant it). That could explain why she got so angry about being told no. How embarassing! And she shows up, and they aren't happy, but no one wants to tell her "we didn't really want you to come." So Brit is the annoying hanger on on the trip with them.

I'm so sad for Brittanee and her family...

Could be but nothing in the press reports suggest that. Something else of interest was reported though. LE videotaped the vigil. While that is SOP for vigils in which the missing person is suspected to have come to harm at the hands of others, this vigil was 1,000 miles or more away from where Brittanee went missing.

That suggests to me that the MBPD has conferred with LE in New York and they discussed the possibility that those who possess the answers to what happened Brittanee, those responsible for what happened; are not to be found in South Carolina at this time, but are back in New York.

I really have never suspected those girls....although, there are more and more unanswered questions surfacing regarding them. Those questions are really making me reconsider them as suspects.

They wouldn't communicate with Dawn the night Britt disappeared.

They moved to another hotel, leaving Britt's stuff in the old room. (We don't even know if Britt knew where the new hotel was.)

They have never spoken publicly with the family or the media regarding anything about that trip.

They come home, post pics on the internet, don't join in the search, basically show no signs of human compassion or concern that Britt is missing, and are void from any and all stories concerning her disappearance.

I don't know if they have any involvement or not, but one thing they are definitely guilty of is being rotten people. It still makes me wonder why Britt would ever want to go anywhere with them.

I'm not suggesting that any of the group she went with is not possibly involved. I'm just saying I know how some teenage girls think. And this group of girls only thought about themselves...and are still doing that from what I can see.

[My bolding for emphasis]

I have been leaning this way myself. I believe those travel mates know way more than has been revealed. My thoughts on the reasons for such were stated ever so well by TexanLisa. There's something really WRONG with these people not showing one ounce of compassion for Brittanee being missing, refusing to answer mom's calls (still to this day), etc. I pray something is found or that one tip comes in that makes all the difference.

I still don't understand the 'switching' rooms part :confused: . Also wouldn't they have made sure someone riding down to the beach with them was there for the return trip? Wouldn't they have worried (just a little) that she had vanished, didn't pick up her stuff, and had not contacted any of them before they switched rooms? They needed to call SOMEONE and let them know she had not returned... why didn't they do this?

IIRC, they at least did that much. It was reported at some point that they contacted the boyfriend, who then contacted mom. However, it was also reported at some point that the boyfriend initially contacted them cause he was worried about Brittanee after he couldn't get in touch with her, and boyfriend then contacted mom. Have no clue what the real story is . . .

Police: Abduction attempts ruled a 'joke'

Updated: May 20, 2009 06:11 PM EDT


HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Horry County investigators say they have closed the case of two possible abduction attempts last week.

As an investigation into the abduction attempts unfolded, two people were identified in connection to claims that two men approached two children in The Farm subdivision of Carolina Forest, saying they had candy in the back of their van.

Sgt. Robert Kegler of the Horry County Police Department said two juvenile males driving a van similar to the one described by the victims was spotted in The Farm. Upon questioning, investigators learned the two juveniles were playing a joke on the victims.

After careful consideration and discussion with the Horry County Solicitor's Office, investigators have decided that no charges will be filed against the suspects.

The case, Kegler says, is now considered closed.

Horry County attempted abduction case closed

Horry County investigators closed the case attempted abduction case after investigators determined jueveniles were playing a joke on children.

On May 13, 2009, Officer with the Horry County Police Department’s Uniform Patrol Division responded to an address on Corn Pickers Rd. in the Myrtle Beach section of Horry County in reference to a suspicious older model mini-van with two Hispanic male drivers who asked children if they wanted any candy.

While the officer was writing the report, a similar incident was being reported at Ivystone Apartments, also in the Myrtle Beach section of Horry County. The case was assigned to Detectives with the Horry County Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division.

On May 18, 2009, the vehicle had been recovered in the parking lot of Ivystone Apartments. Detectives responded to the scene, and conducted an investigation.

After the continuing investigation, two people have been identified in connection with this incident. The suspect vehicle previously reported to the police as the suspect vehicle has been cleared and eliminated from the incident.

Two juvenile males driving in a different vehicle, similar to the one originally reported, were in the Farms and asked the other two children if they wanted any candy. After further investigation, investigators learned that the juvenile suspects had been playing a joke on the kids.

After conferring with the Solicitor’s Office, there will be no charges brought on the juveniles at this time.

Me either. Nothing funny about it.

[Breazy]

I can't believe LE is just dismissing these attempted abductions as a "joke". That is certainly nothing to joke about. In the video, the 10 yo victim says that he could see the candy in the back. Makes me think the perps are just playing it off like they were joking. Wonder what would have happened had they been successful in getting a child in there. I shudder to think about it. I'm sorry, but they should be charged with SOMETHING!!

Now to Brittanee . . . I hope her family's efforts pay off and they find something that leads to her.

Hoping they get just the lead they need to find her.

There sure are. I do hope anyone that was in MB and had a connection to Brittanee have their cell and CC records checked to see if anyone was near Georgetown that night. Even if it is to rule them out.
I think someone she just met those days running around by herself offered her a ride or this was a complete stranger abduction.

Interesting. Wonder if they got some info because I was under the impression from everything that Dawn has said that they feel she met with foul play.

I, too, check here often as well as WS. Why do you think Brittanee's story has died down? It makes me angry because other cases stay in the media to the point people get tired of hearing about them. I just can't understand why this case isn't more prevalent in the news/media. Any ideas?

I honestly think she was murdered, but I also think she could be found if LE did a thorough job and the media kept everybody's attention in this case.

Her family needs answers.....they need closure. I hope and pray they get it soon.

[~jomomma~]

yeah, i'd think it'd be a huge story too.

i hope i'm wrong but my gut is telling me it's the tourism angle.

i'm assuming Dawn is still down there?
i know they had the one search group from texas there but i'm kind of surprised TES wasn't involved at all.

[scbeach]

Just checking in. I see no news.

[sickntired]

I seriously don't understand how people can be so uncaring. The girls that Brittanee traveled with to MB have just gone about their lives like nothing ever happened. It's even as if they are joking about it on their facebook pages. Here we are a group of people who never even met her and we show more concern for her whereabouts. It's a truly sad world we live in today. :crying:

[ViennaGal]

I was just there on vacation in a campground in South Myrtle Beach. I did not see one poster anywhere be it grocery stores, convenience stores, fast food places, nothing. I heard nothing on the radio and saw nothing on TV. The simple fact that this girl has not used her cell phone to text or call anyone in all this time is not a good sign.

You're right, I can't remember the last time I saw anything on the news or in the Sun News.

[justathought]

I posted a few messages on tripadvisor.com, the MB forum asking people to be on the lookout for Brittanee and to keep a close eye on their own children while visiting that area. Unfortunately, as mentioned on this forum previously, tourism seems to be a big factor as ALL of my posts have been deleted.

Hey Girlfriend ~ You're right - no news. But there are posters up EVERYWHERE here on the North end...strange that they wouldn't have them up down where she actually disappeared :confused:

As some have said though, lots of news like this isn't reported so much around here. I remember passing one of the mini-golf places on my way to work one morning, when they'd found that woman's body in the water there, remember? One small story in the Sun News was all it warranted, then nothing else. Around the same time there was a woman's body found in one of the pools down in MB, same thing - one small blurb then nothing. It's really unfair not only to us locals, but to our visitors as well.

Still praying for Brittanee & her family :rose:

MB is not that much different then every other resort location. There is a vested interest in letting this story fade into history; vacation profits suffer if you do not. It is difficult to convince people you are a family friendly town; if you keep reporting about a missing endangered teen.

But Brittanee's home town is no better, in may ways worse, every time a story is posted, locals diss the news report as old news, something best reported somewhere else, or just media trying to get ratings.

Very few people in either state see this as a young 17 year old girl, who will never get to go her prom, never graduate with her class, will be forevermore-17.

[playnice]

Well when Natalee went missing we heard that every night on NG for 2 years and Greta did too. We have heard Casey A for 11 months now. Some cases go on and on and on while others dont get hardly any media if any at all.

[iluvmua]

Brittanee ran away to go to MB.

I'm not convinced Brittanee is not STILL just a runaway.

If Brittanee ran away then why hasn't she called or texted or e-mail ANYONE? Her back account has been untouched since she vanished.

She simply did not just run away; somebody abducted her

[playnice]

I dont think she is a runaway either.

[Ice Cycle]

I dont think she is a runaway either.

No I don't either and I don't think she ran away to MB, I think she sneaked away for a not allowed vacation. She could of later decided to run away but I think that is very doubtful.

[dulcinea]

I also do not think Brittanee ran away for many of the reasons mentioned in previous posts, but also because of the last phone call to her boyfriend. Yes, she told him she was having a miserable time, but it was right after she talked to him that she seemingly disappeared. No one had any contact with her after that if I recall correctly. I don't think she would have called him and then purposely ran off, leaving things as they were. I don't think he mentioned anything odd about their conversation, which I imagine there would be SOMETHING if she was planning on not seeing him again. I see her as a vulnerable young girl, not a strong headed girl who would choose to survive on her own, especially without money or a cell phone. My gut says she didn't runaway. Do I hold out hope? Of course.

Now if Brittanee DID runaway, we all know what can happen to her. Regardless, she needs to be located.

[playnice]

Its been a month and I check several times a day and I have no patience. I want some breaking news or any news. I do not know how families go thru this stuff of not knowing. The searching without having any direction to go on must be hell. The area has been searched good when her cell last pinged so where do you even go from there to even begin knowing where to look next? I do not know how they get thru this.

[Maelstrom5]

Hi All,

There is one new bit of information in David Lohr’s most resent blog entry.

“..Meanwhile, members of 3 View Search Services, an Indiana-based search and recovery group, continue to digitally enhance and filter thousands of aerial photos that were taken earlier this month, in an effort to identify anything that looks out of place, such as shapes that might be a body or a new dig site.

Aerial imaging has been successful in other missing person cases, including the search for 36-year-old Charles Rickey -- a man who went missing in Carmel, Ind., two years ago. In that case, the search team knew that Rickey was wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans, so they were able to use a computerized photo imaging system to make the color blue in the pictures show up as red. As a result, they were able to locate Rickey's remains in a quarry near 96th St. and the Hazel Dell Pkwy.

It remains unknown whether the same technology can be used to locate Brittanee; however, the fact that people are still looking should bring some comfort to her family.”

http://blogs.discovery.com/criminal_report/2009/05/missing-brittanee-drexel.html

I think for this to work in Brittanee’s case they will need to give her shorts one color and the top another, then look for spots on the aerial photos were both color’s are seen together. Of course if she was buried or thrown in the river, then this approach will not help out.

The problem is if she were abducted she could be anywhere not even near MB so without a clue to go on it seems impossible to find her. she could have been taken states away.

At what point of the trip was the bank account drained? How many days was she without money?

Very good questions. I wish we knew the answers. LE have said so little.
