**Body Found in Turks and Caicos Search for Missing New York Man**
**PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands** – A decomposed body has been discovered in the Grace Bay area of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, where authorities have been searching for Brian Tarrence, a 51-year-old Manhattan man who disappeared last week.
The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force confirmed the discovery of “the body of a deceased male in a decomposed state” but have not yet identified it. Tarrence was last seen on June 25th, three days after arriving in Turks and Caicos with his wife for an anniversary trip. Security footage captured him leaving his Airbnb at the Paradise Inn in Grace Bay around 3:30 a.m.
Tarrence’s wife remains on the island and has hired private investigator Carl DeFazio, a former NYPD officer and US Marine, to assist in the search. DeFazio stated that Tarrence had his cellphone and wallet with him when he left and was in an area considered to be safe. He is currently trying to obtain phone records to trace Tarrence’s movements.
Tarrence is the Vice President of Diligent Software.
While authorities have not indicated any suspicion of foul play in Tarrence’s disappearance, the US State Department issued a travel advisory in March warning of a rise in violent crime on the islands, including a 143% increase in robberies and a 123% increase in gun-related crimes.
The investigation is ongoing.
