Private detective searches for missing NY teen
The head of a company that helps parents find missing children has hired a detective agency to search for a New York state teenager missing in South Carolina for almost a year.
Seventeen-year-old Brittanee Drexel of Rochester, N.Y., was last seen walking out of a Myrtle Beach hotel during a spring break trip last April. Her cell phone gave off its last signal several hours later about 40 miles south near the Santee River.
Frank Del Vecchio of AMBER Ready in Rockaway, N.J., said Monday he hopes Benson Agency Investigations can bring fresh insight to the case.
His company developed technology allowing parents to create profiles and photos of their children stored on cell phones or e-mail that can be quickly distributed if a child goes missing.
