The developments seem to be bringing an end to the decade-long investigation into what happened to Drexel in April 2009. She left her New York home to go on a spring break trip with friends. Her parents did not know she was leaving.

While on the trip, Drexel left her hotel room and seemingly vanished. She was tracked to Georgetown County, South Carolina, but hasn’t been seen since.

There were reports that she was spotted at a drug house, where she was sexually assaulted before being killed. She was then fed to alligators, but it’s unclear if those claims are true.
