Investigation continues for missing N.Y. teen

Dawn Drexel, the mother of missing New York teen Brittanee Drexel, said Sunday that police are working on leads that could help in the search for 17-year-old Brittanee, who disappeared April 25 after visiting Myrtle Beach.

But Myrtle Beach Police Department investigator Carol Allen said her agency does not have new information, though officers are still investigating the case and following up on any leads they get.

Family members also are not giving up.

Dawn Drexel is home in Rochester, N.Y., as the area continues to hold fundraisers for Brittanee.

And Brittanee's grandparents, Carol and Alan Wagner, are still in the Myrtle Beach area, Dawn Drexel said.

She said she might return to the area in a couple of weeks.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Myrtle Beach Police Department at 918-1382 or 918-1952.

Crime Stoppers is also offering a reward for anyone with information leading to finding Drexel. Call 888-274-6372.
