if Liz swam out there, in my heart I believe something happened that made her not act rationally. The Liz I love, and have known for 23 years would not swim where she swam,” he wrote.
Cailen Waddell provided new details on his site findliz.com two weeks after his wife went for a swim while on vacation on the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada at around noon on July 22 and didn’t return.
The husband of missing mom Elizabeth Waddell revealed what his wife reportedly told jet-skiers in what is believed to have been the final sighting before she vanished.
Cailen Waddell provided new details on his site findliz.com two weeks after his wife went for a swim while on vacation on the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada at around noon on July 22 and didn’t return.
The North Carolina native allegedly had contact with two jet-skiers who reported seeing her swimming at around 5:30 p.m. that day.

They offered to take her back to shore, but she insisted to them that she was ok, they claimed, according to Cailen Waddell.
“According to their report, they spoke with her for 5 to 10 minutes trying to convince her to ride in with them on a Jet Ski and not stay in the ocean. Reportedly she said “i’m a good swimmer” and gave them the thumbs up,” the husband wrote.

Waddell said that the jet skiers came forward voluntarily to meet with the family and that they “most likely” saw his wife far off the coast several hours after she was last seen on the shore.
“I’ll comment that I’ve never heard Liz describe her swimming as good, but the rest of the conversation and their description of her was consistent with it being Liz,” he caveated.
Cailen Waddell said it would have been “completely out of character” for his wife to have made such a lengthy swim.
“Floating and treading water in Grand Anse Bay probably 1/3 mile from shore and a 1/3 mile northeast from quarantine point,” he wrote.

“In water about 17’ deep according to charts I could find. My commentary is I just can’t believe that Liz made this swim. It is completely out of character for her, and seems far beyond my understanding of her swimming abilities.”
The heartbroken husband also shed insight on his wife’s swimming abilities, answering whether she was a good swimmer.
“Not really, she took some swim lessons as an adult but was most comfortable in the water with a flotation device. She took 4 with her to Grenada in her suitcase, and for sure used 2 of them earlier in the trip but didn’t have one as far as we know that day,” he wrote.

Cailen Waddell searched for a possible answer in his wife’s journals, emails, text messages, WhatsApp and YouTube history, but found no answer as to why she might attempt such a dangerous swim.
“[A]bsolutely nothing in any of that leads us to believe that she would do anything to hurt herself. On the contrary, she journals about her growth, and lots and lots of plans for the future, that include me, Suwan, and the rest of our family,” he wrote.
