Saturday, May 02, 2009
Myrtle Beach Police Capt. David Knipes said officers are following a number of different tips in the dissappearance of the upstate New York 17-year-old, who left home on a spring break trip against her mother's wishes.
One of the tips led police to two different rivers and areas along U.S. 17, the main highway going south out of Myrtle Beach.
However, "there is nothing new to report on Ms. Drexel," Knipes said Saturday.

Georgia Professor Forced Jeep to Crash Into Ravine, Police Say
Friday, May 01, 2009 / FOX NEWS
Authorities believe a fugitive Georgia professor on the run since allegedly gunning down his wife and two others intentionally put his Jeep into drive and let it plummet into a ravine near his home.
He also theorize that George Zinkhan, 57, is still in the Atlanta area — where he lives and teaches business courses at the University of Georgia — and that the rampage may have been sparked by a fight with his wife, who reportedly was planning to leave him.
"We don't believe he drove it off, 'cause it's in drive," one officer told reporters of the crashed Jeep, according to MyFOXAtlanta.com. "Looks like he put it in drive and maybe kind of pushed it off the edge."
Police hadn't previously revealed a motive, but FBI agent Greg Jones said Friday that interviews with friends and family indicate the shooting likely stemmed from a domestic dispute between Zinkhan and his wife, 47-year-old attorney Marie Bruce.
Authorities have some indication she was preparing to file for divorce, he said.
Detectives swarmed the heavily wooded area where Zinkhan's wrecked red Jeep was discovered Friday, but turned up no sign of the fugitive professor. Some officers in pickup trucks drove down dirt roads and helicopters searched from above.
