Cary official's wife reported missing on Grenada beach
Grenada police said Elizabeth Waddell, 44, the wife of a Cary town employee, was last seen at Grand Anse Beach at about 8 a.m. July 22.
Authorities in Grenada were searching for Elizabeth Waddell, 44, after she was reported missing while visiting the Caribbean island. The Royal Grenada Police Force said she was last seen at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, July 22, at Grand Anse Beach in Grenada, in the Antilles archipelago.
Waddell has a direct Wake County connection through her husband, Cailen Waddell, who works as an operations manager for the Cary Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources. That link has put Cary residents and town employees in the path of an unfolding case centered thousands of miles from North Carolina.
The available details remain limited. Grenada police identified Waddell and said she had been on the island when she disappeared, but no additional public information was released in the material reviewed about how she went missing or what may have happened at the beach.
The case stands out locally because it involves a family tied to the Town of Cary, one of the most visible municipal employers in Wake County. The parks, recreation and cultural resources department touches everyday life in Cary through public programming, facilities and green space, making any emergency involving one of its managers especially immediate for people who know the town government.
Grenada sits in the Caribbean and is part of the Antilles archipelago. Waddell was there as a visitor when police said she was last seen at Grand Anse Beach, a location now at the center of the search.
No public statement from Cary officials was included in the information available, and police in Grenada had not released further details about the circumstances of Waddell’s disappearance. The most concrete facts remain her name, age, last known location and the time she was last seen, all provided by the Royal Grenada Police Force.
