Summary
Seventeen-year-old Brittanee Drexel wanted what so many teenagers crave… freedom, a little independence, and a chance to feel grown. What started as a secret Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach in 2009 quickly spiraled into a mystery that haunted her family and baffled investigators for over a decade.
In this episode of 10 Minute Murder: Brief and Bingeable True Crime, we unpack the heartbreaking story of Brittanee’s disappearance, the tangled web of suspects and false leads, and the chilling confession that came thirteen years too late. From the early warning signs her mother couldn’t shake, to the manipulative tactics of a predator hiding in plain sight, this story is one of those that stays with you.
Justice did eventually come… but it came at a cost no family should have to pay.
