If my loved one is missing & you're in the area.. your vacation privacy is null & void.
Period!!!!!!!!
PERIODT 😢
Right!
PERIYEEEEEIDT!
The world needs to know about this. Make it go viral. Thanks to Brian Entin for staying on top of this story because I don't feel like I'm hearing about it anywhere else.
Seriously. Where’s the view, msnbc and other reporters that always complain about black girls not getting airtime when going missing.
Exactly
Thank you Brian for staying on this story
Again thank you for covering this story it is very important
"Yoga retreat" acting like a cult.
Yoga is a demonic practice
This almost feels distopian, what the hell is going on down there.
Ikr what the actual heck mayne
It sounds like everyone is ignoring sketchy things in the name of tourism dollars…
@@TiffyAlwaysBlissyyep . These small islands depend on tourism and will not risk it even if someone is hurt, killed or missing. This is why the family is going hard because the culture of the carribean is that of secrecy and denial in a crazy ass way
They have a high crime rate with a level 2 state department warning.
The people at the retreat need to be interrogated.
Definitely someone who works at the retreat …
@@VIEWIR87Probably a local Bahamian. They have a level 2 state department rating against travel there.
Someone is covering up her disappearance. More outlets need to be covering this.
I agree
Ppl looking for a women they need to know they are looking for a man
They are looking for a man? I'm confused
So ,he still a Humon ,it shouldn't, be no judgement, IT obviously a hate crime
"A whole wall of missing person's posters" - okay that's freaking scary 😱 For this to be a small island housing a massive hotel and a yoga venue. Where exactly have these people gone missing from?
Exactly! Need an investigation, story on that alone..
The travel advisory should be upgraded!
Taylor didn't have a missing person flyer at the police station either.
@kayc5570 your country should be on it also
Right tf really going on?!
I wonder if the employees at the retreat have something to do with this???????
Or a patron😠
@LtDualla There are no cruise ships parked near that retreat. The retreat is on paradise island. The cruise ships park at the Nassau Cruise port located on New providence island.
I wonder the same thing.
@@esands3726In video that he filmed while on beach there is clearly a cruise ship in background.
Absolutely. They have reviews from years ago of women complaining about racist abuse.
One of the worst things about a case like this is the family's sense of powerlessness. They would want to know every detail of Taylor's stay at the ashram. To not talk with them or allow others to talk with them, and just leave them hanging is callous. I'm glad they are going to the media; if the Bahamas is so concerned about their image, they should have handled this differently.
Its not just callous, its downright cruel!!!!
The Bahamian police is to investigate and not the family .
It's breaking God Samaritan laws!
1. Trans people are more likely to be victims of violent crimes. Casey was a trans woman, biological male, who may look different and have been targeted for their gender identity in a place less progressive like the Bahamas. The family needs to be forthright about all basic info about their loved one... they aren't helping her to leave this out.
2. The retreat is where her belongings were found and last seen alive, so most likely someone from the retreat is connected to disappearance.
3. In cases like this, security guards have a higher probability of being attackers because they escort people in and out, presumed to be protectors but are often hired without background checks. They can also view and sometimes tamper with surveillance that others cannot within the vicinity of the retreat.
You're right! The trans aspect is very important. I also think Americans should boycott the place since they don't want to disturb the tourists. Don't spend a penny on any place that doesn't protect Americans that are there spending their money.
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64
Girl Americans go missing in America every single day. What are you saying????? It's unfortunate but can happen anywhere. Also for your information the retreat operators are NON -BAHAMIAN
This is 100% on the money. When your kid is missing, time is of the essence and everything about them matters. It's a little suspicious to be raising money to find Taylor but not be honest about something SO IMPORTANT. Why are glossing over a trans when this could be a hate crime? I don't get this family. It's not normal.
They didn't say Taylor was trans, but if she is I definitely understand why they wouldn't... ppl can be very homophobic there and that info could put her in more danger. I just pray Taylor comes home safely.
@@MsBenitaButrell They are trying to recover a missing person; transphobic comments do not stop an investigation from being done correctly. It's a necessary detail about this person that could lead to their whereabouts; in no world would they withhold that for the benefit of the person missing... especially well after 72 hours.
That yoga retreat has something to do with it and they are trying to cover it up poor taylor😢
Man the Bahamas is doing a horrible job with this, I pray that the family finds closure
I agree.
how many people are missing in america?
closure???
Thank you Brian & NewsNation keep Taylor’s story Alive something is off with this retreat
Ppl looking for a women they need to know they are looking for a man
I pray she is found alive and safe
I agree with your prayer. In Jesus name, may she be found alive and well.
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
56 feet out sounds like someone threw it in there
I dont understand how the phone could ping after going into the water.. i can see a more accurate ping if on a boat/kayak showing location in the water... i wonder how deep the water was.. I assume the waters were very clear to be able to find a phone.
@@preciouspearl487 My phone is completely waterproof all of mine have been waterproof for the last 6 yrs one of it's major selling points 😩 Also the authorities SAID they had exact coordinates for the phone 😩
@@preciouspearl487 maybe it was on a person IN the water when it pinged and then they threw it in the water. Just my theory.
@@preciouspearl487i think maybe that was the last known location?
Or was it the tide or currents on that side, as currents can be strong on that side of P. I.
At this point my entire family and 200 plus people willingly would board a plan and start a self search
Thank you I do not understand why her family is just sitting back
The authorities said they already did search by land, air and sea.... How do they not realise that a quick look around for 5 minutes just to go through the motions does not qualify as an exhaustive search?! They made little to no effort to find her.
He
56 ft tells me maybe there was a boat involved.
I agree.
Oops! I posted it twice…
There was a double R case a few months ago on one of those islands… Ashley Ban covered it. I feel like it could be related.
@@ShredderTainmentDifferent island. New employees were blamed.
@@TheLadyaec hmmmmm….
Someone could’ve also thrown it and the tide pulled it further out. I would not be shocked about a boat though!!
thank you brian for staying on this story
I hate how everyone is showing this “retreat “ with so much dignity! If my family member was missing I’m not showing any type of grace or respect! My demeanor would be “Where is my loved one ?!!”
I really hope that she is found soon!
He
Someone probably tossed her phone in the water to cover up what's REALLY going on. This is so sickening!!!
To damage evidence
Right Beautywithbribri! They probably tossed it in the ocean to prevent her from making a call to the police! Sadly, this sounds like foul play, which is why I suggest people to travel in groups of family and friends when visiting other countries! Let's pray she is found🙏🙏🙏
The family should not have to beg for help to find a family member
So this place don't have cameras that's very odd.
This is the Bahamas not NYC😢
The cell phone was thrown in the ocean so it wouldn't be tracked, Better look at the Natalie Holloway case
Thanks Brian, you're the best! Ashram and everyone on that island are handling this wrong.
Paradise Island has a responsibility and that's to inform their guests about the danger!
A crime has been committed and they do nothing. smh
Thank you for keeping the story going.
Cult cult cult cult
Nah, I think it had to do with gender
Money is more important that a humanbeing.
A “whole walk of missing persons” 😬😫
These retreats are all shady and this one was in like an isolated part of the island of Harley. Any security. If these guys were walking around randomly on the property, it's clear. This poor woman probably came to follow play how disturbing that. They don't even care at the retreat. They should be having beefed up security. They should have her posters, at least in their lobby
Oh my... I thought the young lady was Collette's daughter. God bless her, Taylor's friend, for staying with her mama.
Ikr... such a good friend.
Sad 🙏🏾😞
1:21 1:25 yea! That is very weird and I feel that yoga place have something to do with her disappearance
Thank you for your dedication to this missing woman and her family. People, please dont use this retreat anymore! Please upgrade the travel advisory!
No zen at this place
Unbelievable! I can’t believe these people!!
I can
No, they are not going to advertise that the
island is a hazard. When 100% income comes from tourists. Cruise ships pull into port and thousands of people are set loose there. Your not going to get much help
Especially not on another countries dime and resources. But the retreat definitely is not being even a little bit forthcoming or understanding.
Arrest all the weirdos who are are acting as though they could care less about the missing lady and interrogate them.
Thank you for the updates on this!!!!
If that granddaughter hadn't pinged that phone they would've never known that it had been found in the ocean. This retreat is definitely suspect. What did they do to this young lady?
Brian keep telling this story please! This is horrific and disturbing.
Brian thank you for staying on this story. This family needs help and it appears that’s only going to come from social media keeping up the pressure and making lots of noise.
"A whole wall of missing persons" is very disturbing. Ive been to the Bahamas 6 or 7 times but Im thinking about removing Bahamas from my travel list
Thank you for keeping this story alive!! We must get this beautiful woman found🙏🏼
Thank you Brian Entin ❤❤Our national treasure ❤
Also where are Taylor’s belongings? Haven’t heard anything about her room there or personal belongings.
His
I believe only her passport is missing from her room.
I DONT THINK THE STORY ABOUT SOME GUY TALKING TO TAYLOR IS TRUE. IT'S JUST TO KEEP THEM FROM BEING APART OF WHAT HAPPENED. SOMEBODY KNOWS SOMETHING. THEY ARE TOO NONCHALANT. POOR TAYLOR 😢😢😢😢 I HOPE AND PRAY SHE'S ALIVE AND BE FOUND SOON. LORD PLEASE HELP THIS FAMILY. JESUS SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You have absolutely no proof to refute that. All angles must be researched.
what I think happened she took a boat to go somewhere and they threw her overboard that is why the phone was in the water. Most yoga retreats are cults I would never go to a yoga retreat
I agree
Have they ever looked at the jetski's? Also, asked people that worked on the beach, if there are?
The water sports guys always know something
A very sad tragedy. May the 1:39 family find their loved one and find peace . A cautionary note for the future- DONT GO TO THESE ISOLATED PLACES ALONE. And further, do research before u sign up for something like this. In the 60s, during that time, what I recall is Ashrams were cults and families were often trying to pry their family members from them. If the cult awareness network still exists, contact them for help.
I'm NEVER going to the Bahamas
You won’t be missing much. Many better islands to go see.
That's fine. You will not be missed.
Ditto.
we dont need you
The Bahamas is very safe. Don't tar a whole island nation based on one story.
Praying for your family.
She was living in a tent at the retreat, no room with a locked door or key and with dozens of strangers and now her passport missing. Ladies please don't travel alone.
Yeah, I was wondering about this myself. When I seen the room where she was staying in, there was a tent she lived in while there. I found that to be strange. If she was there for a retreat, why was she not sleeping in a bed? Why was her phone in the water, was she taken by boat? Missing pictures not hanging around to let tourist know to be safe or to be on the lookout for others is strange also. Seems like they are more concerned about that money than the safety of others. I feel investigators did a blotched job on their research for someone who is missing. Bring Taylor home.
He
What tent? Outside where? Her room wasn’t inside the yoga house? She paid for a tent outside? Did mommy receive her belongings? Her shoes, bags? Taylor is gone so the yoga people threw her things out? Yoga mantra go away, you bother our new guests 💺🛰️
A tent outside doesn’t sound very safe.
@@HappyPlace48It certainly stood out as looking that way, especially for females traveling alone.
The mother and family collected her personal items from the tent.
The fact that they care more about disturbing their guests is proof they know something. The lack of interest is telling. Someone that work there or a guest did something. How did her phone gwt in the water? Was the family able to get Taylor's belongings?
They were super strict on that before this. Ppl pay $2000 for peace. Day students get the same speil as they gave police and the fam, the type of odd folk they are.
Prayers she's found safe.🙏 My daughter sent me this to share. My daughter best friend aunt are friends with this missing young woman. Please share. Thank you.
They need to get a description of those “men” that were lingering around area. Search the entire beach. How accesible are cars there? Cuz if it isnt, there’s gotta be some clues walking distance!!!!!
What’s the purpose of US Embassies if they don’t step in and investigate when an American is missing abroad smh. That retreat and police know more than they’re sharing. Please don’t stop covering. It needs continued national attention
Prayers for the family 💕✌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
To travel there is at your own risk because there are no cameras, or security because the law does not require that from the place of business. At best, the most that can be hoped for is to get the truth. An attorney familiar with their laws and practices might be able to find the truth because the police are not going to investigate if the law does not require it.
I think someone was watching until they could get her alone and take her. Then the first thing done was to throw the phone in the ocean so that it could not be found. This is not a missing person situation anymore. Condolences to the family and friends.
first off a whole wall of missing people?!?! HUGE red flag. second almost scolded after taking pictures?! smh they are definitely covering something up. i wouldn’t be suprised if they are affiliated in a sex trafficking or organ trafficking ring. this is ridiculous.. her phone was found in the ocean? someone could’ve thrown it in sea. and lastly, a tent?! not even a secured room.. this whole thing is ridiculous this is pure sad. what an evil world i would be in jail fighting all the damn employees. F that place .
Lol, The Bahamas is populated with hundreds of thousands of people. Do you not expect there will be missing people. Are there not millions of people missing in your country? You do not expect to see posters of missing people....at a POLICE STATION? Think people. Think.
Prayers for the Mother and family with finding her daughter Taylor🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽That retreat knows more than what is being said!And the authorities is covering up something of the going ons within the Yoga retreat smh!
Bahamas authorities work bad ! I hope Taylor coming back safe. My prayers
They don’t really know that spot is there.
chicago police dont know who killed kenneka jenkins
Praying this young lady be found safe back with her family and friends ✝️🙌🏾🙏🏾
See help locate Taylor. Prayers sent
This must be a harrowing time for this loving family. Why the lack of support? Would they not want help if they or their beloved were in danger?!
Thank you again for this thorough coverage
Have they sent divers out yet?
Yes. They've found her phone but no Taylor🤔
Hanna is an employee of the retreat and should not be required to talk to Taylor's mother. It should have been the manager of the retreat who called the mother, not Hanna. But I think the retreat should have been closed and the rooms should have been thoroughly searched. The Bahamian police, as the U.S. police, do not tell families of suspects or leads they receive. Be fair people. All islands of the Bahamas are on the lookout for Taylor. Hopefully, a new lead will come and Taylor will be found to bring closure to her family.
Brian I wish you could go interview people at the yoga retreat center or have you already done that? Thank you so much for covering this and being there for her family!
Here’s some facts: the yoga resort is located in a very remote part of paradise island, so remote that there are no roads or tracks to access this place, only by boat can you get there. The yoga retreat is owned and operated by foreigners, not Bahamians. In fact, most of the Bahamian population did not even know this place existed until this missing person case came up. Further, the family has refused several invitations to speak with local media in the Bahamas.
They need to investigate this company.. something odd is going on it appears...
You don't wait to get invited, also did she spend lots of $$$ to be there?
What a great journalist/ presenter,
Why such a closed evasive response considering this family is missing their loved ones last in that organisations care!
Tourists ! this neglect could have the reverse effect to tourisim since that shows neglect of human saftey against the dollar.
Hope Taylor is located.😑
Somebody knows what happened to Taylor! And those 2 yoga students that up and left before the mother got there is very suspicious!! Somebody knows something! Praying for Taylor’s return😢
They were new arrivals who had just found out upon arriving, that a woman went missing. They didn't feel safe so decided to leave.
Maybe they were frightened for their safety...I would've left too!
If it pinged and was found in water someone may have taken a boat or something and put it out there and got rid of it.
Where is this male person that someone said they saw approach her- the person that said it needs to be investigated!
There ya go - - - GREED is the God in this. Tourist money more important than human beings.
Following this case closely,thanks brian
Prayers ❤❤
I wished i had seen this story before booking for my family vacation there. Now i am freaking out
I hate to say this but is sex traffiking prevelant in the area? They use boats to transport victims, maybe they threw her phone in water so her phone couldnt be tracked
I said the same thing! I truly believe her phone was tossed
7:18 Hurting for her child this is this first time she slipped and said "he". Now that I know the phone was found 56ft into the ocean it is really possible it was a rip current 😩
but why would she go into the ocean with her cell phone ? Seems like her phone would have been left on the beach..
@@quin7850 I see a lot of people in the water with their phones, most phones are waterproof now (depending on the phone) so it's not a big deal so Idk maybe taking pictures she sent a picture to her mom of her in the water, that was the last picture she sent her mom too 🤷🏾♀️
also possible she left her phone on the beach while swimming and as the tide came in later the phone was carried out. 😥
5:05 was the cellphone in waterproof pouch?
So scary when i think what they did, how and why... Sorry to say but Taylor's last moments must was terrifying.
I am from Nassau Bahamas, and I am sorry, but I wonder if the police really grilled that boat operator who claims he never saw her leave the Island, and all of them. Something is not right!!!! The Police needs to get to work and find this lady's daughter!
But people do just vanish in the ocean... Brian
Like how sad
He left the yoga retreat on his own. update the story please.
were you there with her to know that?
I’m praying you guys get answers! I will never travel to the Bahamas again! This is crazy! I think someone took her…
Praying and praying she is ok…
I won’t stop looking up this investigation until we get answers since there is only a few news outlets who are reporting on this. 🤔
I’m disgusted with the media and CZcams comment section doesn’t want to know my true feelings on them and this story in particular!!!!😡🤬
I'm wondering if they have a history of this.
Why is there not one person trying to help?
I am praying for Taylor around the clock. I did not like some things I experienced in the Bahamas. I dreamed for decades of going to the Bahamas, but actually being there was not as pleasant. And I traveled extensively. I did not experience any friendliness during our whole vacation there.
is this a bio male? 👀
(edited) just as i suspected… 7:47 she misspoke and said her child’s correct gender. they don’t play that on the islands.
Exactly 🎯! I heard her say "he, she..."
Mom needs to tell the public that’s Taylor is a man that her son that could contribute to why he is missing
No, she's bought into the whole thing and/or doesn't want to bring it up.
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64it could be an important factor, tho
Wow!
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 it sure why
I did not know that!!!
Prayers for this family ! Ik something wasn’t right as soon as I heard . That retreat had something to do with this ..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I feel
The same way!
The mom said there was a wall of missing people. WTF. This seems crazy. A person is missing and they are being scolded. That’s insane.
So how long the authorities/ retreat plan on holding the phone that was retrieved from the “water”. A lot of holes in the entire story, more questions than answers.
Did u get back the phone
Was Taylor Casey transgender?
yes but we aren't supposed to mention that
@@contribution741 oh ok well she is beautiful no matter what. I hope she's found soon
Yes, male to female.. this is important to know.
@@KishBish yes I agree it's important to know. I just hope they find her alive and well.
Yes it’s man the mom didn’t really wanna say it
Notice how in every interview, Taylor's mother never refers to him using pronouns. She accidentally said, "He" in this interview and quickly changed it to "She." I'm not sure if people know it or not but Taylor is a man. His sexuality could be the cause of his missing.
Yes, Taylor is transgender male to female.. I wonder why this is not being reported in the mainstream news?? it could have something to do with the disappearance or help in the search! this is very odd!!
Yes I noticed that. She also says Taylor then she said he and very quickly said she.
Mom is in denial about that.
Mom struggles to say she
The states issued a global advisory on trans travel this summer.
Cover up
I hope they find her and receive answers!! No cold case
I pray she's found safe and soon.
