Elizabeth Waddell Missing in Grenada as Search Efforts Intensify
Elizabeth Waddell, a 44-year-old physical therapist from North Carolina, has been reported missing after disappearing during a vacation to the Caribbean island of Grenada. She was last seen on Wednesday, July 22, at Grand Anse Beach in St. George's, where she reportedly went for a swim and did not return. Her husband, Cailen Waddell, has traveled to the island to assist in the search and has urged the public to share information regarding her whereabouts. Local authorities, including the Royal Grenada Police Force, are conducting an extensive search involving divers, police officers, and students from St. George's University. They are specifically requesting that fishermen, boat operators, and residents along the southern coastline report any sightings. The U.S. State Department confirmed that the administration announced awareness of the missing American citizen and emphasized that the safety of U.S. citizens abroad is a high priority. Families and friends describe Waddell as a kind-hearted, free-spirited traveler who was last seen between noon and 1 p.m. on the camera of a bar and grill facing the pier.
