What a crummy looking hotel. It breaks my heart to think that Beautiful Britt may have been taken to such a place. I am happy to see some progress in her case though!

Would there still be DNA evidence after all this time?
Locals please keep us posted.

Thanks for providing the link here wm, I get lost/confused between the two 'forum discussion' and 'information support'. I would think there could be something in carpeting/underpad, trace on walls if body fluids involved....but I just don't know. Hopefully if that 'room' is a place of interest they will canvas out behind it etc.
Does look pretty shady, huh?
A small voice in my head whispers 'remember Jaycee' when I think about this case, but hope for closure in some form for this family.
Capt David Knipes of the Myrtle Beach Police Department said no arrests are expected and that no further information about the person who is believed to have stayed in the room will be released.

Just heard on local news in NC that the motel is near the G'town airport.
anyway, this link has an update as of 11 am.

Very little additional information to be released in the Drexel case today as a result of today's search at Sunset Lodge. Myrtle Beach police say no immediate arrests are anticipated and, for now, no details will be released about the man who once lived in apartment 22.

Yeah WM, I've already Google Mapped the area - a little confused though. I did see the airport off to the east of the intersection of 17 Bypass and Pennyroyal Rd. They said the motel is near the intersection of Hwy 17 and Pennyroyal Rd. Then that report from G'town Times said today the investigation has "moved SOUTH of the area of prior interest, North Santee", but when I map Hwy 17 and Pennyroyal, it is north of the river. Now, there are two Hwy 17's, Business and Bypass. I am assuming it is the bypass because that is the main stretch and where all the concentration has been, but to note also, Pennyroyal Rd DOES connect Business and Bypass 17. (Sorry if that is confusing for non-locals - just some funny traffic things we like to do to tourists in these parts.)
I am not good at mapping, lol! It would be great if you could post it so we have a visual.
Wasn't there discussion at one time that the escape vehicle may have taken an alternate (more inland) route? Would that be the Business Hwy. 17 rt?
Also, does this area feed off the same cell tower as Britt's last phone ping(s)?
TIA

Could the mans body that was found have held a suicide note and confession ?

Now wouldn't that be something? Or maybe he knew some information on somebody else and felt compelled to pass it along. Hardly anything surprises me anymore.
However, there is a man in GT county jail since May 2010 on a rape charge.
He is out on bail now
He along with several other men were suspects in the case of a missing woman in Charleston. The law officials botched the case and charges were dropped. So I am leaning towards him being the one who lived in room 22 and somebody was brave enough (since he is incarcerated) to come forth with this info.
All just speculation, of course.
