It's been more than 26 years since a 17-year-old New York girl disappears during a spontaneous Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Ultimately, Brittanee Drexel 's remains were  found and her killer  confessed. 

Drexel was last seen on video after she walked out the Bar Harbor hotel near downtown. She texted her boyfriend that she was returning to her hotel and was never seen again. 

Convicted sex offender Raymond Moody was first questioned about the girl's disappearance when Drexel when missing.  Police searched Moody's residence but found nothing to link him to the crime.  Technology advance in the years since rekindled suspicions that Moody was the killer and he has pleaded guilty to the charges of murder and first-degree sexual misconduct. He has been sentenced to life in prison.    

Dawn Conley, mother of 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel, filed a wrongful death and emotional distress lawsuit and was awarded $700 million in damages.  Raymond Moody has not paid the judgment.
