North Carolina Woman Missing in Grenada After Swim Captured on Airbnb Video

The case remains an active missing-person probe that relies on surveillance footage, multi-unit searches and public tips to reconstruct her last movements.

Overview

  • Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell, 44, was last seen on surveillance from her Airbnb entering the water and swimming near a jetty on July 22, and footage does not show her returning to shore.
  • Grenadian authorities have mounted an ongoing search that uses dive teams, drones, K-9 units, the coast guard and local university teams while investigators review video, tide data and witness statements.
  • Waddell’s family created FindLiz.com and released stills and video to gather tips and coordinate leads with the Royal Grenada Police Force and the U.S. Embassy.
  • Multiple eyewitnesses, including jet-ski operators, reported seeing a woman matching Waddell’s description farther offshore later the same day who declined help and said she was a strong swimmer.
  • The family and investigators say they do not currently suspect foul play, but the missing-person investigation continues as loved ones and officials try to fill the gap between the midday video and later reported sightings.
