Husband of Missing NC Woman in Grenada Rules Out Foul Play

On a July afternoon at Grand Anse Beach in Grenada, Elizabeth Waddell — a 44-year-old mother from North Carolina — swam out into waters she loved and did not return. A week after her disappearance, her husband concluded, after consulting family, local authorities, and the U.S. Embassy, that no foul play was involved, pointing instead toward the quiet tragedy of the sea. Her story joins the long human record of those who venture toward beauty and are taken by it, leaving behind only a towel on the sand and unanswered questions in the water.
