An active search is underway in the Turks and Caicos Islands for Brian Tarrence, a 51-year-old man from Manhattan, New York, who vanished on June 25 while on a tropical vacation with his wife. The couple, who had arrived on June 22, was staying at an Airbnb on the island of Providenciales.
According to reports, Tarrence left the accommodation in the early morning without explanation, taking his phone and wallet with him. A private investigator for the family, Carl DeFazio, stated that surveillance footage captured Tarrence walking alone in what is considered a safe area before he "basically disappears."
DeFazio noted that the couple's vacation seemed normal up to that point, including a boat trip and dinner the day before he went missing. The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force has officially launched a missing persons investigation and is leading the search effort for the American tourist, who was scheduled to return home on June 29.
