  "account": "Elizabeth 'Liz' Waddell, a 44-year-old physical therapist from North Carolina, mysteriously disappeared while visiting the Caribbean island of Grenada. Her husband, Cailen Waddell, now believes drowning may be the most likely explanation for her disappearance. Elizabeth went missing on July 22, while staying at the Grand Anse beach resort in St. George's, the capital city. Her husband provided new details on his website two weeks after her disappearance. Surveillance footage shows Elizabeth getting into the sea at 11:51 am and swimming beneath a jetty 13 minutes later. However, she was not seen returning from the water on the footage. Neither was she seen walking away from the jetty with her friend, who was last seen walking towards the jetty at 12:46 pm on the day Waddell vanished but returned alone. Elizabeth's friend reported her missing at 5:50 pm, leading to an immediate police response. The Royal Grenada Police Force is still searching for Elizabeth and has appealed to the public for any sightings. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and shorts.",
