A man from Monroe, New York, who was vacationing in Turks and Caicos late last month is missing after leaving his rental home on June 25. Brian Tarrence, 51, was last seen leaving his condo around 3:30 a.m. at the Paradise Inn in Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, according to a missing persons flyer from the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force.

"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," the Tarrence family's private investigator, Carl DeFazio, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. "And we have him on camera, and he walks into town, and then he basically disappears, and we haven't heard from him since."

Tarrence, who recently moved from Monroe to Manhattan, arrived in Turks and Caicos with his wife of one year on June 22, and they planned to leave on June 29.

DeFazio said the Turks and Caicos police force is using every resource it has, including drone technology and CCTV to try and locate the 51-year-old man. He also described Grace Bay Road as a "very safe" area.

"So far, we haven't been successful in anything, but we're not giving up hope. … What I tell the family … in cases like this: Stay positive until you have a reason not to be," DeFazio, a former NYPD officer and Marine who has been a PI since the 1990s, said. "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."


What are the chances this dude is just on a bender somewhere in the middle of town?

Why doesn't it say why he'd leave his wife at 3am, and head to town?

Been to Turks many times. Grace Bay is a better part of the island, but shite is real grimey all over beyond the comfort and security of resorts and private residences. He’s probably on a bender.

Thats a nice part of the island but he doesn’t have to go far at all to get to parts that aren't exactly on the tourist’s travel plans. Still, my money is on he pulled the parachute from that marriage and hauled arse.

My first thought. Nothing good happens after 2AM. If he was leaving that early in the morning and wasn't headed to work or the gym, he was looking for trouble. Looks like he got it.

Is this the one where he goes to the bus station, finds a drug dealer named Stanka, and parties with two hookers until he drops?

As safe as Turks feels, it didn’t feel near as safe late at night. Everything closes early over there. My guess would be either OD or killed trying to buy drugs.

That dude either drowned or fricked around with people who didn’t want to hear or deal with his shite. Maybe they just jacked him.

He gone.

We had fellow travelers have thing stolen from the beach, and from time to time, a single male looking like a Somali pirate would come walking down the high part of the beach

That’s the water sports arranger. He’ll get your parasailing set up if you’d like. I’m not kidding.
