The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Online chatter has spun theories ranging from foul play to voluntary disappearance. The husband himself has ruled out the latter, citing journals full of future plans. A simple point is lost: a woman who never called herself a good swimmer swam nearly half a kilometre offshore without a flotation device. The most concrete test ahead is whether the Royal Grenada Police Force recovers a body or finds evidence of a land-based exit. Until then, speculation only hurts a family already grieving.
