A search is underway after the North Carolina woman mysteriously disappeared while visiting the Caribbean island nation of Grenada. What did Elizabeth Waddell tell jet-skiers before disappearance? Husband reveals concerning detail (Royal Grenada Police Force) Elizabeth went missing while staying at the white sand beach resort neighborhood of Grand Anse in the capital of St. George’s, the Royal Grenada Police Force said Thursday, July 23. Elizabeth’s husband, Cailen Waddell, provided new details on his site findliz.com two weeks after his wife went missing. She reportedly had contact with two jet-skiers who reported seeing her swimming at around 5:30 pm that day. When the jet-skiers offered to take her back to shore, she insisted to them that she was fine, they claimed, per Cailen.Husband reveals concerning detail
“According to their report, they spoke with her for 5 to 10 minutes trying to convince her to ride in with them on a Jet Ski and not stay in the ocean. Reportedly she said “i’m a good swimmer” and gave them the thumbs up,” the husband wrote. Cailen said that the jet skiers came forward to meet with the family and that they “most likely” saw Elizabeth far off the coast several hours after she was last seen on the shore. “I’ll comment that I’ve never heard Liz describe her swimming as good, but the rest of the conversation and their description of her was consistent with it being Liz,” Cailen wrote. Cailen also said that it would have been “completely out of character” for his wife to have made such a lengthy swim.

My commentary is I just can’t believe that Liz made this swim. It is completely out of character for her, and seems far beyond my understanding of her swimming abilities.” Cailen also wrote about Elizabeth’s swimming abilities, revealing whether she was a good swimmer. “Not really, she took some swim lessons as an adult but was most comfortable in the water with a flotation device. She took 4 with her to Grenada in her suitcase, and for sure used 2 of them earlier in the trip but didn’t have one as far as we know that day,” he wrote. Cailen searched for a possible answer in his wife’s journals, emails, text messages, WhatsApp and YouTube history. However, he found no reason as to why she would want to go for such a dangerous swim. “[A]bsolutely nothing in any of that leads us to believe that she would do anything to hurt herself. On the contrary, she journals about her growth, and lots and lots of plans for the future, that include me, Suwan, and the rest of our family,” he wrote. “That said — if Liz swam out there, in my heart I believe something happened that made her not act rationally. The Liz I love, and have known for 23 years would not swim where she swam,” he added. Cailen, an operations manager for the department of parks, recreation, and cultural resources in Cary, North Carolina, acknowledged that the outcome is possibly tragic. “Based on everything we know, it seems drowning may be the most likely scenario,” he wrote.What we know so far
