North Carolina Woman Vanishes After Entering Sea Near Grand Anse

Investigators are reconciling family‑released midday surveillance with later eyewitness sightings during ongoing searches and evidence reviews.

Overview

  • Family‑released surveillance shows Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell walking from an Airbnb yard and entering the ocean on Wednesday, July 22, after which she does not return to the camera’s view.
  • Investigators are focused on a gap between that midday footage and a later reported sighting of a woman matching Waddell’s description about 5:30 p.m. the same day.
  • Multi‑agency searches by Grenadian police, dive teams, the coast guard, university volunteers, drones and K‑9 units have continued while investigators review video, tide and witness data.
  • Waddell’s husband said, after consulting family, local authorities and the U.S. Embassy, he does not believe foul play was involved, and the family has created FindLiz.com to solicit tips.
  • Authorities urged anyone with information to come forward as they work to reconstruct Waddell’s movements between the surveillance timestamp and the later sightings, a process complicated by Grand Anse’s strong currents and changing tides.
