Cailen Waddell, husband of missing North Carolina woman Elizabeth 'Liz' Waddell, has launched a website and is appealing for information. The 44-year-old physical therapist was last seen on Grand Anse Beach in Grenada on July 22. CCTV showed her entering the sea at 11:51 am and swimming under a jetty 13 minutes later. She never returned. Two jet-skiers reported speaking with her far offshore around 5:30 pm. She told them 'I'm a good swimmer' and gave a thumbs up. Her husband, however, says she was not a strong swimmer and always used a flotation device. He believes drowning is the most likely scenario but says many aspects remain unexplained. Her friend reported her missing at 5:50 pm that day. A search by local authorities continues.
