The two-day search ended Sunday afternoon for missing spring breaker Brittanee Drexel who vanished nearly nine months ago.
Around 100 volunteer searchers with the CUE Center for Missing Persons spent Saturday and Sunday scouring different wooded sections in Georgetown and Charleston counties.
Nothing of significance was found either day, said Monica Caison, the director of the CUE Center.
The majority of the searches since Drexel vanished April 25, 2009, have concentrated on a five-mile radius around the North Santee Community. It's where detectives say they tracked Drexel's cell phone signals from the night and day after she disappeared.
Caison, Myrtle Beach police and the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office have several areas of interest around the North Santee Community, but there's no specific reason searchers were back this weekend.
Caison said the search had been planned for a while to re-check areas that had already been searched and to look for clues in new areas.
Drexel, who was 17 at the time, vanished from Ocean Boulevard around 9:15 p.m. on April 25 after leaving the Blue Water Resort.
