MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The mother of a New York woman who disappeared while on a vacation to South Carolina is visiting the state four years later.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that Dawn Drexel is visiting the Myrtle Beach area on Thursday to mark her daughter's 21st birthday. Members of the public are invited to attend.
