MYRTLE BEACH--After months of little to no developments in Brittanee Drexel’s disappearance, there has been some news in the last few weeks.
Last week investigators announced that they have three or four persons of interest in the case, but still lack a key piece of evidence that could lead to an arrest.
Then late last week, a new piece of video was released, showing the 17 year old spring breaker just hours before she went missing.
This weekend will mark the one year anniversary of her disappearance, and the Drexel family is on the Grand Strand.
“It’s just hard without her,“ said Brittanee’s 12 year old sister, Myrissa.
Myrissa felt she needed to be at the beach this weekend to honor, but more importantly to help find her sister.
“I just want to come down because its for my sister,” Myrissa said. “This is where my sister went missing and I want to check out what may have happened to her.“
Saturday the Drexels will join the public for a twenty block long march down Ocean Boulevard.
After the march there will be a candle light vigil ceremony at 7:30 pm to remember the day the Drexels’ lives were forever changed.
“It’s hard,” said Myrissa. “When I found out, I think the Monday of that weekend, or the Sunday, I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t stand it. I mean Brittanee was there for everything.“
And despite many people’s suspicions, the Drexels are holding on for what they hope will be a positive weekend.
“They may get tips this weekend from the police department,” said Dawn. “Maybe, being down here in Myrtle Beach for spring break may spark somebody’s mind.“
Dawn Drexel said she will meet with police Friday to discuss the four persons of interest in this case.
She also said police have a location of interest as well.
