Tourist from America declared deceased following vanishing incident during holiday in Turks and Caicos islands
In a tragic turn of events, the body of Brian Tarrence, a missing American tourist, was identified on July 16 following a forensic dental analysis. The remains were discovered on July 5 during a search operation in the Grace Bay area of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.
Brian Tarrence, aged 51 or 52 according to different reports, was a vice president at Diligent Software and had recently moved to Midtown Manhattan with his wife, Maria. The couple had been vacationing in Turks and Caicos, arriving on June 22 and initially planning to leave on June 29.
The circumstances surrounding Tarrence's disappearance are still unclear. He was last seen on surveillance footage leaving his hotel, the Paradise Inn in Grace Bay, around 3:30 a.m. on June 25. According to reports, he was carrying his phone and wallet but was without other belongings. Tarrence's wife, Maria, didn't realize he was missing until the following morning.
An autopsy conducted on July 11 revealed no signs of trauma, and foul play is not currently suspected. However, the police are awaiting the final autopsy and toxicology reports to determine the cause of death. The Royal Turks and Caicos Police Force, who confirmed Tarrence's identity following the forensic dental analysis, are continuing the investigation into his case.
Carl DeFazio, Tarrence's private investigator, stated that the condo where Tarrence was staying is located in a safe area. The body was found in some bushes along Miracle Close in Grace Bay. Anyone with information relating to Tarrence's case is asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
