In late July 2026, Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell, a 44‑year‑old physical therapist from North Carolina, was reported missing after she left a towel on the pier at Grand Anse Beach in St. George’s, Grenada and went for a swim. Grenadian authorities issued a missing‑person alert and began a beach and coastal search, while her husband flew to the island and appealed for help. The U.S. State Department noted it was aware of the case. ~~A few days later, security~~ Security footage ~~was~~ released ~~showing~~ a few days later showed Waddell walking toward the pier in the morning, entering the water, and later swimming farther offshore. The Royal Grenada Police Force expanded the operation with underwater teams and a K‑9 unit. Volunteers and friends continued to pray, and a dedicated website, FindLiz.com, raised over $18,000 to support the ongoing search. On 29 July, additional Airbnb‑camera footage confirmed she walked near Grand Anse Beach around noon, entered the sea, and was seen farther from shore at about 5:30 p.m. Her husband, Cailen Waddell, publicly stated he believes there was no foul play. The search effort now includes dive teams, drones, and continued K‑9 work, coordinated with the U.S. Embassy, while the Cary community maintains fundraising and prayers for her safe return.
