  "account": "Elizabeth Waddell, a 44-year-old physical therapist from Cary, North Carolina, went missing while visiting the Caribbean island of Grenada. Her husband, Cailen Waddell, revealed that she reportedly told jet-skiers in the last time she was seen that she was a good swimmer and gave them a thumbs up, despite their attempts to convince her to leave the ocean. The jet-skiers saw her swimming away from the shore for approximately 1/3 of a mile and at a depth of 17 feet, according to Cailen. This behavior is considered \"completely out of character\" for Elizabeth, whose swimming abilities were described as limited. The Royal Grenada Police Force launched a search for Elizabeth, who was last seen on Grand Anse Beach around 8 pm on July 22. Surveillance footage showed her entering the water at 11:51 am and swimming beneath a jetty 13 minutes later. Her friend, who was also staying at the resort, was seen on video walking towards the jetty at 12:46 pm, but returned alone. Elizabeth's friend reported her missing at 5:50 pm, leading to an immediate police response.",
