New security footage and a photo show the last known moments of an American tourist before she waded into shallow ocean waters off a Caribbean beach resort and mysteriously vanished. The surveillance footage captures Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell stepping off a pier and swimming toward shore in calm, five-foot-deep water during a vacation in Grenada. Security cameras recorded her moving through the water, but she was never seen returning from the sea. A new photo shared on the family’s search website shows Waddell wearing blue-and-white striped shorts and a burnt-orange, loose crop top as she left her Airbnb rental. Her husband confirmed she was wearing those exact clothes in the water. “At this time, this matter continues to be treated as a missing person investigation,” Grenada police officials said. Witnesses on jet skis reported encountering a woman in the open ocean later that afternoon. When offered help, she declined, stating she was a strong swimmer. Her husband retraced her swimming route during the ongoing search effort. “I went out and did this swim yesterday,” he said. “It is easy, there are lots of rocks you can stop at if you need.”
