"The search continues today in Georgetown County for any clues on the disappearance of a New York teenager.
The search led investigators to Georgetown High School to speak with someone about the case.
The family of 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel are being assisted by the Laura Recovery Center of Texas as they go door-to-door along Powell Road and other areas of North Santee talking to people in hopes of finding out anything about Drexel.
Drexel was last seen on April 25 near the Blue Water Resort in Myrtle Beach.
At about 11:30 this morning, five investigators visited Georgetown High School. Police will not comment on the nature of their visit but other sources told the Times they were speaking to a student who said he knows someone who was with Drexel during the weekend she vanished.
The investigators were with the student for about 30 minutes and then left the school.
It’s unknown what, if any, impact the information will have on the search.
For several days last week, the search shifted from Horry County to Georgetown County because the last trace of her cell phone was detected near the border with Charleston County.
The South Santee River and a seven mile surrounding stretch was searched but nothing was detected to indicate she was ever in the area, although authorities still say they believe her cell phone had been there because it had been detected on a cell tower.
Janice Liggett of the Laura Recovery Center said the team met with law enforcement Tuesday and are canvassing the area handing out fliers today.
“We have no reason to believe she ran away,” Liggett said.
She said if anyone would like to help with the search, they can go to the organization’s Web site —
www.lrcs.org — and download fliers to hand out.
Myrtle Beach Police say Drexel could be a runaway or they could possibly be dealing with an abduction case."
