Teens like to test their independence. When their parents tell them no, they can figure out a way to make it happen anyway. The lure of spring break was strong for Brittanee. Fun in the sun at Myrtle Beach was calling. Her parents said no, she made up a store and they bought it. Most times, that kind of thing works. At worst, her parents would find out and be angry when she came back home. But this wasnt most times, because Brittanee Drexel never came home.
Dateline NBC is the longest-running series in NBC primetime history and is now in its 30th season.
