There is security footage of her walking out of the Blue Water Motel when she was supposed to be returning to the Bar Harbor. Plus one traffic camera footage. She never made it there and no one has heard from her since.

When a persons cellular phone runs out of battery power it gives off one last ping to help emergency services locate you. Drexel's cellular phone gave off its last ping in the area of the Santee River near the borders of Georgetown and Charleston counties.  Locals call the area South Santee. ( SS ) A pair of female sunglasses consistent with the type that Drexel had was also located in the area. Subsequently a massive hunt was launched in that area with cadaver-hunting dogs, but no substantial leads were found.

 Myrtle Beach is an easy place to disappear in and from. Every time Drexel is in the news there is the possibility that one Magic Tip will come in that will break the case wide open. But for every Brittanee Drexel there is a Rebecca Slavinsky, a Shanta Johnson, an Andrea Hayslette, a Woodrow Taylor, a Lisa Neugent, a Mae Bullock, and a Glenn Howlett. They did not receive the national attention that Drexel's case has, but their families' pain is no less real. Their families want closure too. Maybe with some exposure that Magic Tip will come in that will lead to these Cases being Closed  ...
