Elizabeth "Liz" Waddell: Examining the Facts, the Search, and the Questions That Remain

In this episode of Santana True Crime, I am joined by my brother and co-author, Dr. Brian Santana, as we examine the disappearance of Elizabeth "Liz" Waddell using verified reporting and publicly available information.We discuss the timeline leading up to Liz's disappearance, the multinational search effort, and one of the most debated details in the case—the report that jet skiers saw a woman "off shore" who gave two thumbs up, indicating she was okay. Could they have seen Liz? How far from shore was the person they observed, and what impact could that have on the investigation?We also examine what is known about the search efforts, the physical environment, witness reports, and the questions investigators continue to work to answer. Throughout the discussion, we separate verified facts from speculation and explain why seemingly small details may become significant as the investigation progresses.If you enjoy evidence-based true crime discussions that focus on facts rather than sensationalism, be sure to follow Santana True Crime and leave a rating and review.
