Crime talk timestamp;01:16. Do you remember being young, going to school & wanting to do all the things that your friends did, sometimes arguing with your parents about it .….

Most of us have been there as teenagers when there was something you want to do or try but your parents still say ‘no’.

At the time you may have thought why are they trying to ruin my social life , or stop me from doing what all the ‘cool kids’ are doing. Only looking back in hindsight do we realise our parents usually did know best in those circumstances.

They just had our best interests at heart & most importantly our safety as their number one priority.

Tragically one young teenage girl from Rochester New York didn’t get to see the benefits of hindsight, as an evil predator cruelly snatched her life from her before she had the chance to properly experience it .

It was around 9.15pm on April 25th 2009 when 17 year old petite blonde Britannee Drexel was walking down Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Grainy Cctv shows her walking along the street on the way to meet some people at her hotel, until she eventually walks out of shot, disappearing into the darkness … and that was the last time she was ever seen alive again .

Her unknowing parents were at home, a 14 hour drive away unknowing that she had sneaked away to Myrtle Beach that weekend for Spring break.

So when they found out she was missing they started a desperate & frantic search to find their young daughter hoping to bring her home safely .

Sadly that was not to be, and it would take 13 years to finally uncover the truth of what happened to her on that fateful evening…

This is episode 26… the tragic case of Britannee Drexel…
