Elizabeth Waddell, 44, disappeared while on vacation in the Caribbean after going for a swim. Her husband urgently seeks public help in locating her.
POLICY WIRE — City, Country — A British woman, Elizabeth Waddell, 44, has gone missing during a vacation on a Caribbean island. Her husband has issued an urgent plea for help in locating her.
Waddell was last seen going for a swim near the beach where the couple was staying. She failed to return, leaving behind her towel — and personal belongings.
“We were having a lovely day at the beach. She went for a swim — and never came back,” said her husband, visibly distressed. “We’re desperate for any information that might lead us to her.”
Local authorities — and tourist police have launched a search operation, combing the beaches and nearby waters. Divers have been called in to assist in the underwater search.
“We’re working closely with the local authorities and have expanded our search efforts,” stated a spokesperson for the tourist police. “We’re urging anyone with information to come forward immediately.”
The incident has drawn attention to safety measures at popular tourist destinations. Authorities are reviewing security protocols — and the availability of lifeguards at beaches.
“This is a tragic reminder of the importance of safety precautions, especially in areas frequented by tourists,” noted a local government official. “We’re committed to ensuring the safety of all visitors.”
As the search continues, Waddell’s family and friends have taken to social media, sharing her photo and details of her disappearance in hopes of generating leads.
“Please help us find Elizabeth. Any information, no matter how small, could be crucial,” posted a close friend on social media.
The case remains open, with authorities urging anyone with information to contact the local police or the British consulate.
