MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) -- Police looking for a missing 17-year-old New York girl are searching a couple of rivers and a highway about 30 miles south of Myrtle Beach.
Myrtle Beach Police Capt. David Knipes says officers are following a number of different tips in the disappearance of Brittanee Drexel.
Knipes says one of the tips led officers to two different rivers and areas along U.S. 17, the main highway going south out of Myrtle Beach, but that search Friday afternoon has not gotten investigators closer to finding Drexel.
Police say the teen was last seen nearly a week ago after she left a group of friends who had traveled from Rochester, N.Y., to visit people at another hotel.
Drexel's mother says her impending divorce has caused her daughter to be depressed.
