Brian Tarrence last seen on surveillance video
The tropical paradise is more typically known as a place where vacation memories are made. Now, it's home to a mystery.
"If he was robbed, by now I think I would have seen a credit card charge, or found his wallet, or found him, you know," Carl DeFazio said.
DeFazio is retired NYPD. He works as a private investigator in Turks, and was hired to help find Tarrence.
Surveillance video shows Tarrence, 51, walking away from the Paradise Inn around 3:30 a.m. Police scoured the area, but haven't located the missing man.
"You know, in the area that he's at, it's not remote. It's not desolate. It's businesses, thriving, all day and all night long," DeFazio said. "We usually are able to gather information but it's like he disappeared, we're trying to figure it out. I have nothing to point to criminality at this point, though."
"We are deeply concerned"
Tarrence and his wife of one year recently moved to a building on West 42nd Street in Manhattan. Before that, they shared a townhome in Monroe in Orange County. Baudlaire Theagene was his neighbor.
"Nice guy, very pleasant, always polite to people," Theagene said. "Quiet guy."
Tarrence is a vice president at Diligent Software.
