A Cary woman disappeared in Grenada. What do we know?

SHARE

Did y'all hear about this poor woman from Cary who went missing down in Grenada? Bless her heart, it sounds like a real nightmare for her family, and it just hits different when it's someone from right here in the Triangle. You see these stories on the national news sometimes, but when it’s someone tied to our community, it really brings it home.

## A Worrying Disappearance

Elizabeth Waddell, the wife of a Town of Cary employee, was last seen Wednesday on a beach in Grenada, and I'm telling you, the details are just so unsettling. This isn't just some vague report; local authorities in Grenada are actively searching for her. It makes you think about how small our world truly is, that someone could be on what's supposed to be a relaxing vacation and then vanish like this.

* Elizabeth Waddell, wife of a Cary town employee, was reported missing.

* She was last seen on a beach in Grenada.

* Grenadian authorities are actively conducting a search.

Look, our local folks often travel to places like the Caribbean for a little escape from the hustle and bustle of the Research Triangle Park, and the thought that one of our own could face something so frightening really just makes you pause. My heart goes out to the Waddell family and the folks in Cary who are certainly feeling the weight of this news. You just pray for her safe return, don't you? That's the Triangle, y'all — come for the tech, stay for the sweet tea.
