Update on missing Gates-Chili student
 

There is new information in the case of a missing Gates-Chili student. The Monroe County Sheriff's office is now helping in the search.

Seventeen-year old Brittanee Drexel was on spring break in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She was last seen Saturday night.

The sheriff's office is talking with people who were in contact with Drexel and have now returned to Rochester.

Dawn Drexel was handing out flyers in Myrtle Beach, hoping to find someone who knows something about her daughter. “Either someone has picked her up or she's not alive. In my heart of hearts that's how I feel because I know it's not like my daughter to do this.”

Drexel says Brittanee's boyfriend, one of her good friends and her grandparents are also in Myrtle Beach helping in the search.
