Grenada Vacation Disappearance
North Carolina Mother Vanishes During Grenada Vacation; Last Seen July 22
Anonymous
Liz Waddell, a 44-year-old mother from North Carolina, has been missing since July 22 during a vacation in Grenada, a Caribbean island nation. She was last seen going for a swim with a close friend, who was the last person to see her before she vanished. WBTV reports her family has filed a missing persons report and is desperately asking for the public's help.
A longtime family friend, Amanda Romano-Harmon, has known Waddell and her husband, Cailen, for 25 years. Romano-Harmon is speaking out to raise awareness. "Just really want to bring her home," she said, capturing the feelings of everyone close to the missing mother, according to 12 On Your Side.
Last Seen Swimming Before She Disappeared
Waddell was on vacation in Grenada when she went for a swim with a close friend on July 22. That friend was the last known person to see her. After that swim, Waddell simply did not come back. No further details about where she was swimming or what happened next have been released publicly, according to WLOX.
Grenada is a small island in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. It is a popular tourist destination known for its beaches and calm waters. Waddell's disappearance there has alarmed her family and friends back in North Carolina, who are now working to get answers from thousands of miles away, Fox 5 Vegas reported.
Family and Friends Plead for Information
Romano-Harmon, who has been close to the Waddell family for 25 years, is leading the public push for information. She described the situation as deeply frightening. Her words — "just really want to bring her home" — reflect the urgency the family feels with each passing day, according to WSAW.
Waddell's husband, Cailen, is also named in connection with the missing persons report. The family is urging anyone with information to contact the St. George police in Grenada. St. George is the country's capital city and the likely jurisdiction handling the case, KY3 reported.
Missing Persons Report Filed with Grenada Police
The family has officially filed a missing persons report with authorities in Grenada. They are calling on anyone who may have seen Waddell or knows anything about her whereabouts to call the St. George police immediately. No reward amount or tip line number has been publicly announced, according to WKYT.
Investigators in Grenada have not yet publicly named any suspects or described the disappearance as foul play. The case remains open. As of the latest reports, Liz Waddell's location is still unknown, and her family continues to wait for news, KCRG reported.
Community Rallies Around a Mother of 25 Years of Friendships
Romano-Harmon's public statements show how tight-knit Waddell's community is. Having known the family for a quarter century, she is not sitting quietly. Her willingness to speak to media across the country has helped push this story into the national spotlight, WCAX noted.
Stories like this one are a reminder of the risks that can arise even during a vacation. Families of missing Americans abroad often face delays and communication barriers with foreign authorities. Waddell's family is hoping that public pressure will help speed up the search and bring answers soon, according to AZ Family.
