A South Carolina TV station has aired a comment from an attorney for the family of missing Chili teenager Brittanee Drexel…saying a suspect or suspects has been identified in her disappearance.
Brad Conway wouldn’t say more, and neither police nor the FBI have confirmed his comment. Brittanee Drexel’s father, Chad Drexel, isn’t happy that Conway spoke out. He tells 13 WHAM they were told at the time of the FBI news conference on the case five weeks ago to keep their mouths shut.
Drexel disappeared during a Spring Break trip to Mrytle Beach in 2009. Police said at that news conference they believe she was held against her will in a community about an hour from the beach, and then killed.
The TV says they are considering the possibility that Drexel was a victim of human trafficking.
