Overview
- Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell, 44, was last seen going into the water at Grand Anse Beach on Wednesday, July 22, according to the Royal Grenada Police Force and multiple family sources.
- A friend who was staying with Waddell found her towel on a pier and reported that Waddell left the Airbnb without a phone, ID or shoes, prompting an early missing-person report.
- Family spokespeople say police recovered surveillance video that shows Waddell swimming and then drifting out of frame between about noon and 1 p.m., but authorities have not publicly released the footage.
- Local searches continue with police officers, divers, St. George’s University students and appeals to fishermen and boat operators along Grenada’s southern coast while Waddell’s husband and other relatives are on the island helping search teams.
- The U.S. State Department is aware of the case and has referred investigators to Grenadian authorities, and officials are asking anyone with information to contact local police and the Criminal Investigation Department.
