Who is Brian Tarrence? New York man goes missing while on vacation in Turks and Caicos with wife
Tarrence moved from Monroe, New York, to Manhattan recently. He landed in Turks and Caicos on June 22 with his wife of one year. The couple planned to stay in the popular tourist destination until June 29. As per DeFazio, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the hours leading up to Tarrence's disappearance. He still had his cell phone with him when he left his Airbnb.
'We have him on camera, and he walks into town, and then he basically disappears, and we haven't heard from him since,' DeFazio, who has been a PI since the 1990s, told Fox News. The investigator has been hired by Tarrence's family to handle his case.
DeFazio told the NYPost that the area where Brian Tarrence went missing is a 'very safe' part of the town. Meanwhile, the reason for the New Yorker leaving his rental in the middle of the night while his wife slept has not been revealed.
DeFazio has been trying to get a record of Tarrence's phone activity on the Turks and Caicos Islands, but the process is slow. The PI added that the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police are investigating the matter and have listed Tarrence as missing. Police are using drones to scan the area and checking CCTV footage in hopes of tracing Tarrence's movements on the night of his disappearance, the PI said.

DeFazio said that he is not ruling out the possibility of foul play. He has asked the family to remain hopeful of finding an answer. 'He's a smart guy… We don't know what's in his mind or if he did this on his own or if somebody took him in,' the investigator added. Crime rate in Turks and Caicos
