It’s been more than a decade since a 17-year-old New York girl disappears during a spontaneous Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Now the family of Brittanee Drexel can bring her home. Many theories surfaced on what happened to Drexel, including an allegation that her body had been fed to alligators. Drexel was last seen on video after she walked out of the Bar Harbor hotel near downtown. She texted her boyfriend that she was returning to her hotel and was never seen again.

Now, Sheriff Carter Weaver of the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office has announced that Drexel’s remains have been recovered and a suspect is behind bars for her 2009 murder. Convicted sex offender Raymond Moody, 62, is facing murder and related charges.
