DeFazio, who was hired by Tarrence's family, told News 12 Westchester that nothing was out of the ordinary leading up to his disappearance. 'Everything prior to the point where he walked out of that house, he seems fine,' DeFazio said. 'They had a boat trip and went to dinner, just like every other family would do when they're here.' Story continues below advertisement Tarrence, who recently moved to Manhattan, arrived in Turks and Caicos with his wife on June 22. They planned to stay until June 29. The evening Tarrence went missing, his wife had gone to bed. When she woke up, he was no longer at the Airbnb. 'They seemed to be having a normal couple days, and he ended up walking out of his condo, which is in a very safe place and in the middle of Grace Bay Road,' DeFazio told Fox News. 'We have him on camera, and he walks into town, and then he basically disappears, and we haven't heard from him since.' On July 5, the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force shared that the body of an unidentified deceased male had been found around 9:06 a.m. in the Grace Bay area 'in a state of decomposition.' 'The body was not found for 10 days in 90-plus [degree] heat,' DeFazio said. The private investigator previously told People magazine that the body was found close to the Airbnb where Tarrence and his wife were staying. 'He was found a 20-minute walk from where he was last seen,' DeFazio added. 'I would say about a block off of Leeward Highway in a little residential commercial area.'

5 suspects in killing of UC Berkeley professor appear in Greek court
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Five suspects implicated in the killing of a University of California, Berkeley professor appeared in court in Athens on Thursday, including his ex-wife, who has denied all charges. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, was shot and killed July 4 in Athens while visiting Greece to see his two young children and finalize legal arrangements for future visitation. Among those who appeared in court was Jeziorski's Greek ex-wife, who remains in police custody on charges of solicitation to commit murder. Her boyfriend, a 35-year-old Greek man, has been charged with murder. Three other men, also charged as alleged accomplices, were present. All five appeared at a central Athens court and were given until Monday to prepare their defense, court officials said. Alexandros Pasiatas, a lawyer for the ex-wife, said she had no role in the crime. 'From the outset, my client has maintained that she is innocent and has no involvement in the crime,' Pasiatas said. 'The evidence is overwhelmingly in her favor.' Jeziorski, who was born in Poland, was an associate professor of marketing at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. In a statement this week, the school described him as a 'passionate teacher and leading marketing scholar.'

Musk mocks ‘Epstein hoax' as poll finds majority of Americans think Trump hiding info
Elon Musk is mocking U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that legal documents evidencing Jeffrey Epstein's crimes are a ruse created by Democrats, as approval ratings over Trump's handling of the issue plummet, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. 'Wow, amazing that Epstein 'killed himself' and Ghislaine is in federal prison for a hoax,' the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) wrote on X on Wednesday after a reporter in the Oval Office probed Trump for evidence substantiating his previous claims that his political foes created the Epstein files. The president told the reporter: 'I know it's a hoax, it's started by Democrats, it's been run by the Democrats for four years.' The latest from Musk and Trump came right before a Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that the majority of Americans believe Trump is hiding information about the accused sex-trafficker and former financier. Story continues below advertisement The two-day Ipsos poll, which closed Wednesday, showed 69 per cent of respondents thought the federal government was concealing details about Epstein's clients, compared with six per cent who disagreed. About one in four who said they weren't sure. Get breaking National news For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen. Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Epstein was facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors when he died by suicide in jail in 2019. He had pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed after his death. After Epstein's death, legal proceedings continued to captivate Trump's political base, which was expecting lurid details to come out after some of Trump's top law enforcement officials, including U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, said they would release documents that would lead to major revelations about Epstein and his alleged high-profile clientele.

Story continues below advertisement According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll, close to two-thirds of Republicans think the administration is hiding details on Epstein's business, and just 17 per cent of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the case. Among Republicans, 35 per cent approved of his handling, compared with 29 per cent who disapproved and the rest who said they were unsure or abstained. Meanwhile, 82 per cent of Democrats said they did not approve of Trump's handling of the issue, while 71 per cent agreed that he was hiding information about Epstein's death specifically. Additionally, 82 per cent of Democrats believe Trump is hiding Epstein's so-called 'client list,' along with 62 per cent of Republicans. Reuters reported on Wednesday that Trump and White House officials were weighing a range of options, including unsealing new documents, appointing a special prosecutor and drafting executive actions on issues such as pedophilia. Trump, however, has been defiant, describing supporters hung up on the issue as 'weaklings' who were helping Democrats. 'I don't want their support anymore!' Trump said in a social media post. — With files from Reuters
