WILMINGTON – Nearly five months after she first went missing, some of Brittanee Drexel’s family from New York have found themselves once again in South Carolina, hoping to find her.

As the CUE Center for Missing Persons’ National Road Tour comes to an end, the spotlight shines on the missing New York 17-year-old. She went missing in Myrtle Beach, S.C., in April while there for spring break.

"If I can get her on the media any time, just to keep her name and her face out there, that's what I need to do,” Dawn Drexel, Brittanee’s mother, said. “I am not the kind of mother that's just going to sit around."

She was last seen on April 25. A surveillance video showed Drexel walking into a hotel in Myrtle Beach. The cameras show she left alone about 15 minutes later.

"I have hope that she is still out there, but Brittanee has not contacted anybody, no friends, no nothing," said Dawn Drexel.

Saturday, Brittanee was the featured missing person at the CUE Center for Missing Persons’ National Road Tour stop in Myrtle Beach.

"We hold the road tour annually, and we have solved a case each year off of it. Sometimes it comes a few months later, sometimes it may come immediately while we are on tour," Monica Caison, the founder of the CUE Center of Missing Persons, said.

Investigators said they continue to follow leads. Brittanee's mother has not given up on the search to bring her daughter home.

"We will be planning in the fall a large-scale search, and I don't want to disclose the area, but we will be bring in multiple teams and quite a few hundred people to conduct the search effort," said Caison.

Billboards with Brittanee's picture are now up. There are three in the Myrtle Beach area and one in Georgetown, where investigators spent a majority of their first search looking for her.

"The one we felt most vital was out towards the search zone because of the fact that we do have proof that her cell phone was in the vicinity at one point," said Caison.

But for now, all family members and supporters can do is hope and hold a moment of silence as they search for answers into the teenager’s disappearance.
