The FBI has confirmed that a teen who went missing in 2009 was likely kidnapped and killed, but her parents are begging the public for any clues.

Brittanee Drexel, who was 17 at the time, vanished while on vacation to South Carolina without her parents’ permission in April of 2009, and she was last spotted leaving a beachfront hotel in Myrtle Beach, officials said on Wednesday.

“Brittanee Drexel did leave the Myrtle Beach area,” South Carolina FBI Special Agent in Charge David Thomas told reporters. “We believe she traveled to this area, around McClellanville and the North Charleston, South Georgetown area, and we believe she was killed after that.”
