Brittanee Drexel was going down the wrong path long before it led to her disappearance. Her Dad saw it happening. He says he even knows when it started. He tried his best to intervene.
In hindsight, her best friend could see it happening, too. But the world looks different through the eyes of 17-year-olds. Instant gratification clouds good choices. Danger hides in plain view.
But with trouble and strife at home, it's not difficult to see how a sharp, cunning and determined young woman such as Brittanee would blaze her own trail in pursuit of what she wanted.
Sadly, Brittanee Drexel's path ended in tragedy, as she walked alone down the streets of Myrtle Beach, 800 miles from home without her parents' knowledge or permission.
In this episode you'll hear intimate, painful details from Brittanee's loved ones about her fateful journey, retracing her steps from the suburbs of Rochester, New York, to the coast of South Carolina.
