- The family of a Chicago woman missing in the Bahamas says they are “deeply concerned” for the safety of the 41-year-old, who traveled to the islands for a yoga retreat. Taylor Casey was last seen on June 19 around Paradise Island, a small resort enclave just off the shore of the island of New Providence, the Royal Bahamas Police Force said.

That retreat knows exactly what happened
You best believe THAT!
@@anettedesire8824 yep somebody saw what happened to her!! 🤨
They know.
Yes they know what happened
UNREAL When People Who LOOK 👀 Like You BETRAYS YOU.‼️HURT ON TOP OF HURT. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE NOT EVEN AMONG THEIR OWN. WOW 👀😳JUST WOW 👀‼️ COME HOLY SAVIOR MASTER YESHUA HAMASHIACH N DELIVER YOUR BELOVED SAINTS FROM EVIL ❤️🙏🏽📖🙏🏽❤️
No one should go to the yoga resort again...
This woman is deceased. Foul play is evident.
Why not? You do your homework and go to a reputable place.
@@same5952 Everyone isn’t always what they appear to be .
💯 percent I endorse this statement.
Keep in mind out of all of the years this Ashram this is a first. Now would you say the same about other places such as Disney World, or other resorts where people go missing every year. It is very unfortunate but none of this is the ashrams fault
Lord I pray that she is found and soon.
Praying won’t help
It is very likely the missing person was victim of violent crime and dumped in ocean.
Pray that He is safe.
This isn’t a woman I promise
@@AndreBarnes-ev7of He is probably not ok
The resort she stayed at should be boycotted ! Like how you just ignore someone missing and not tell the other guest which could have alerted ppl to help the woman ! It’s disgusting
it likely has nothing to do with the place, he just happened to stay there, it was a sx date made online, he stayed there bc the perp told him its close to his house.
Probably so, but i would never support a company that doesn’t tell me another person went missing . That’s not okay
@@Lauren-vd4qe Why would it not have anything to do with the ashram? She wasn't the only person living in a tent who was participating in that yoga event. Who says it couldn't be someone who was a part of that retreat that did something to her? The fact that they didn't want to talk to Media is suspicious.
@@IndigoCosmic yes its possible, but unlikely, theres FARRR more insidious people lurking online than at ONE yoga place....
@Lauren-vd4qe
What are you talking about?
Online s3x date? Close to his house?
I'm so confused. 🤔🧐🤨
Praying for her safe return. 🙏🏽 🙏🏽
Amen

@@MyKingLivesjohn316 Yes. That's a man.
Sadly young black geologist Daniel Robinson has been missing almost 3 years and his father continues to search, young black medical student Jelani Day found in the lake dead almost 3 years as well, with out any information as to what happened to him
@bakeembakeem I remember these cases...so eerie
I think it's a conspiracy going on and they are being kidnapped and harvested for their melanin and other things we as black people are blessed with.
The Bahamas are not part of the United States. Is your point that Black people are missing in the US and abroad? It's more disturbing that Black US citizens are vanishing without a trace in the states and can't be found by our government officials. Yet, we expect officials outside of the US to locate missing US citizens. I'm disappointed in those female officials in the Bahamas. They're behaving robotic and unempathetic towards the family.
Keep in mind that all three Black men were missing in predominately White states.
Thank y’all for the update
I remember the Daniel Robinson case. So sad.
This is why you should never travel alone! This goes for men and women! It's not safe in today's time!
@@nikkil8472 I'm rethinking my 'solo' trip. Solo traveling is on the rise too.
You are so right.
I get it but so many women doing these friend’s, family flake out on them ,cancel at the last minute, they get tired of going with people who are broke and them having pay for everything. I think many feel less hassles and knowing they love traveling and just goes alone. It seems this woman was one of them who had traveled alone many times ,even to the Bahamas,always left info for her family but this time everything turned tragic . Who ever did this to her took her phone and threw it in the ocean, took her and harmed her maybe even after that. She seemed to come from a very loving family who right away when they , heard nothing from her starting doing interviews,flew to the Bahamas quickly and got authorities involved , them making. Statement quickly on the news . No matter what happened to her they want closure,to find her no matter how what happened to her t take her home.
Sorry to burst your gullible bubble but this is not a solo travel issue. You may not travel much but you can be with others and still be a victim. The video clearly says there has been a rise in crime.
@@jillyjill5755 Yeah, but it is a little more risky because predators love solo people.
Old news so what is the "latest". These yoga camps (and ayahuasca retreats) are rife with bad actors and unsafe stuff going on. Remember the woman who drowned and nobody would talk?
No, when did that happen? Very sad.
@@Thenewlife83 it was another woman asian yoga retreat who disappeared after kayak never found
@@operamom3303
Oh, I remember the missing Asian woman. So, this is the same location ?
Not the same location. The other one was in Guatemala
God please bring her home safe and sound. I won't be surprised if she was taken for trafficking, or organ harvesting. Too many beautiful black people go missing, some are found with organs missing, some can't be never found. This happens to the majority of Asians, Hispanic, black, brown, Indians, very saddened how EVIL lurk around us, and we never know who they are. My heart and prayers go out to the family. Please Lord provide so answered. Send your Angels to for guidance. Assistance help of any kinds
Shouldn't the headline be "Chicago man" missing?
Leave them to it. It`s a doomed search.
👀
@@bobs5123 Yes will go back to GOD a man.
Help this mother find her child! This is so disturbing...
Why were they staying in tents and not rooms with doors that can lock
@@yecart5691 The rooms were very expensive so she along with others, paid for a text provided by the program
Cause they were cheap af
Excellent point. I understand more how she went missing when you see the poor tent conditions for living. the managers of the Yoga Retreat surely could ask other attendees if they noticed her leaving with anyone. Look at the Local Workers, bartenders, custodians, ask, ask, ask....
This is so bizarre! And supposedly it was thousands of dollars! Plus why would a Christian do yoga?
@@Amy.PCB.home. They know people are going to be canceling reservations left and right.
No one just disappears! Someone knows something! The retreat know something!! The woman whom made Casey's mother aware of her disappearance was there when her mother went to the retreat to get answers and was told that the woman was busy in a class and was unable to speak... That's ridiculous. No disrespect but F a class.. The lady's daughter is missing.. She should be able to speak to whomever is on the resort who might know something..
Ppl looking for a women they need to know they are looking for a man
That is a red flag for the resort ashram !
My husband had the idea that perhaps a local was infatuated with her, realized she was trans, and became enraged. I'm also wondering if the yoga retreat members played a direct hand in it for some nefarious reason.
I agree with your husband. It happens a lot and some men feel they may have been mislead and angers them.
@@jupitersun3 the recent update said she was meeting up with a guy with dreads so it could be other countries don’t accept certain things so sad
The natives had nothing to do with this. People like her don't go missing at the hands of the native people. Look closely at where she was staying. If a Bahamian had done this, that phone wouldn't have been found in the ocean.
Not to mention paradise Island can be considered a literal fortress. Bad actors from over the hill isn't going to be walking about paradise island Willy Nilly. The police station sits at the entrance and Island Patrol and Police Patrol canvases the island continually.
Agreed! This sounds like it has more to do with this elite, private Yoga Retreat than the Police force. The mother said in another interview the retreat wouldnt let her speak to the person who had called her...I do hope the family gets some resolve!
@@lamontmiller1761 exactly..
Thank you for having common sense
Yes they do. Bahamas is extremely dangerous and corrupt. You could not pay me to visit that Planet of the Apes 🦍
She was either targeted by the Ashram (Possible Front For Sex Trafficking) or, she met someone from the island, who she thought she was safe with and, they turned out to be a predator! The phone in the water is just a distraction tactic. BOTH the Ashram owners and the Bahamian Police SEEMS quite: defensive, lax and nonchalant about this situation. Which IS quite strange n’est pas? 🤔👀💯 The US Embassy FINALLY getting involved is a start! Prayers 🙏🏽 that she be found soon! Ps: Don’t “come for” me at all….This ashram has been the topic of a BBC piece that wasn’t flattering!
@@NikkiaSings Unfortunately, I'm afraid you're are absolutely correct. I don't feel she's dead, I feel like she was targeted and tricked into some form of trafficking. Her phone in the water is to throw things off. And, I feel the Bahamas authorities along with this Resort are linked to her disappearance in some sort of way. When are people going to realize that the very ones who are supposed to protect us have sold their souls for $$$. I pray they find her, but it should also be a lesson for the rest of us. Love and light 💫💜
I didn't like. I found the staff low key racist. The guests were nice.
WOW Learn something new everyday. I thought because of the things they were doing, they would at least keep some kind of tabs on these people🤔🫢😟😟
Crime here is gang related.
@@NikkiaSings I am going to look for that BBC video.
Sounds like she was abducted... praying for her return.
@@mysticalmaiden There is something very wrong here. The yoga retreat etc. She didn't wander off, or go for a late night swim. This is horrible, very sketchy.
🙏🏿
Somebody at the retreat knows something. I could be wrong. But I believe someone from the retreat is responsible for her. It's really a cult like environment. And Taylor probably trusted someone from the retreat. Everyone should be investigated at the retreat. All participants should be questioned and fingerprinted. DNA samples are also needed. The Bahamas police department is dragging its feet. I'm not sure if they are very interested in solving the case.
Ppl looking for a women they need to know they are looking for a man
She was probably abducted from the tent
If she was walking on the beach, she would have been an easier target
@@creolelady182Yes as her phone was found in the ocean so who threw it in there had to have abducted her there. Again when she traveled ,even there she always kept in touch with her family, they could reach her.
Ppl looking for a women they need to know they are looking for a man
Yes !!
No reports are saying that she is transgender.
@@creolelady182 Agreed, I think what happened-- folks are acting like it would be odd for her to take a walk on beach- you feel like "it's safe" as a tourist; then someone-- a man abducted her and probably killed her.
The ashram may have mishandled aftermath- but it's a very basic place- few staff, and very simple, if someone didn't show up for class they did at least initially the right thing- call the parent and hopefully police. But police there are not fully staffed and with fancy equiptment like this isnt' CSI folks.
James 5:16-17 "The fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much.". Heavenly Father, hear our cry-out for Taylor's safety and return to her family, at once. You are God, Almighty, and we know that you can do anything but fail. Thank you and we'll forever give you the praises. Amen!
Amen! 🛐
Amen!! I’m praying now
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤
Amen.
Amen
Where is the passport?
That is an EXCELLENT QUESTION !!!!!!!
In the ocean !?
Someone might use it to enter U.S. Taylor was 5'11", 150lbs. Many ppl could use the passport.
Maybe they found a man body and didn't know it was Taylor cuz no one saying.
that is what I thought too
Mmmmmhmm.🍿😉
I read on the website of this retreat that shared bathrooms are minutes away for people who stay in the tents. Moving forward, this yoga place really needs to put up surveillance cameras for the safety of their PAYING guests and employees.
A tourist missing is definitely not the norm in the Bahamas. Her phone found in the waters rule out that she went for a swim as a sound person does not swim with their phone at night (she was last sited at 11:30pm). Now her passport being missing is a mystery. Did she leave to travel elsewhere? Why would anyone take her passport unless she carried it around in her bag. She believed in Christ as she had a Bible. But the kind of chanting these people do at the retreat would make many Christians very wary to join in as they open doorways for evil spirits it is commonly believed. I'm oblivious as to why it has no security guards and surveillance cameras as having them is a major thing for businesses, resorts/hotels, and private homeowners throughout the Bahamas . How can you let people sleep in an isolated area outside in tents without security? I pray the police are given new leads and that this won't end horribly. Taylor looks like an awesome person in her pics. I pray for continued strength for her mom and friends.
True. Most Christians don’t do yoga retreats
@@deborahwa2015 "They open doorways 🚪 for evil spirits".
Nirvana means extinct. 😮
@@BriaBarrowsWouldn't it be unusual as well for someone to be trans & Christian?
@deborahwa2015 In another interview her mother said she is a church youth leader. As a Christian I have warned so many about yoga. There are many testimonies from people who were very high up in the world of yoga that have since become Christians & they describe in detail that regardless of the mainstream influence of yoga for monetary gain true yoga practitioners know their saying is “There is no yoga without buddha & no buddha without yoga”. Even if it starts out looking benign, the deeper one gets into it the more obvious that it’s a religious experience that is not inline with Christianity. I imagine if she was a true believer she would have gotten very uncomfortable in this type of yoga retreat setting. A lot of Christians mistake yoga for harmless stretches & end up opening themselves up to “other” sprits. I hope her family gets the answers they need soon.
Stay away from strange things.
Yoga is one of them
😂 have 2 yoga mats in my bedroom, great for stretches, healthy body____ better than listening to a fat preacher begging for money, then serving sweet potato pies after service! Wake up Black folks.😢
The State Department warned US citizens several months ago about the increase in crime in the Bahamas, Trinidad, and Jamaica!!!! Please, people, don't go anywhere outside of the USA alone. It's NOT a good decision. Sending prayers for Cassie’s safe return home.
Stay away from yoga retreats too, including the ones in US too! Apparently, not what they seem! There's been quite a few mysterious cases at random ones! I'm praying for her safe return 🙏
News Outlet please stop. The advisory has nothing to do with the young lady missing from a Spa retreat on a private Island. She/He was on the island from June 3rd, which means she was at the retreat 16 days before the incident. Where is the cameras from the retreat? Did she go to a blind retreat. If you have a client on your private compound you should know when they arrive and leave. Stop this Bahamas shenanigans like America would have done better.
Thank you Jennifer. These people can’t get their facts straight
Sending alot of Prayers that this woman is found Safe 🙏
With all due respect to the family and in all honesty. I believe the police and the Bahamian ppl should all be on the lookout for a male regardless of him being referred to as a female. That's my take on this situation. However, I hope he is found safe and sound!
Bettybodie I am thinking the same thing she maybe went missing as a male and not a female and that is why it is such a mystery
Wait what?
I have a friend, who dresses as a man during the work week and dresses more feminine when he goes out on the weekend. I noticed that Taylor's pictures look different. Some androgenous and some more feminine.
people in the Caribbean and south American dont do the pronoune thing they do in the US lol just go look at how they are reporting this on the Caribbean CZcams news stations lol
In my opinion, travel is not safe in a lot of places! Praying for this family 🙏🙏
It isn't
I wouldn't travel outside of the USA right now. If I go on a cruise, I would not be getting off port
It is not. We are to read the recommendation on the US Department of State website before going to any country.
@@PablaMMoore those are racist and bogus
@@ShantalhaitianPrincess Better be safe than sorry.
Thank you for posting this video. We cannot let this go forgotten. Something is not adding up. We all need to demand answers because it could have been our loved one. Please keep posting about this sad news.
Praying she's found and brought back safely.
Prayers 🙏
If im traveling that far im not sleeping in a tent . A "spiritual " experience isnt that deep. How does stretching come to this.
On the retreat website,it states that tents are the cheapest accommodation. Washrooms in separate building, and no security, they now say on the retreat. Scary getting up in the night to go to a building with washrooms.
Agreed with @loveyb9090
@@darlenechandler2403agreed sis! No way on earth I would be going to a restroom @ night! Period!
They like for them to go into a very deep meditative state! Not good when surrounded by a bunch of strangers
You guys keep saying latest and updates, but you're not giving an update. I pray she is found alive soon!
This is very sad and I hope that there is some video footage somewhere that police can review. Something is seriously wrong, no one just disappears, someone knows something and I pray that this mother gets closure. At this late stage it does not look good, but we hope a good outcome.🙏🏽
Don't seems that this is getting anywhere..same old news every day..in the future the island need too put up surveillance camera for protection
I'm stumped ...The Bible and Yoga retreat? Did Taylor know the two don't mix? This is truly saddening.
@@dee-dyi 🤣
Bible and trans is at least equally confusing!
yes they do. 300 million people practice yoga and they are of all faiths
All true yoga practitioners know, “there is no yoga without buddha & no buddha without yoga”. That’s literally one of the tenants of the practice. Any Christian practicing yoga is either ignorant of this fact or straddling the fence.
@@DR-cr3zo
Yoga is not an activity that true Christians would engage in.
Hundreds of millions of those who profess to be Christians engage in sex outside of marriage, and also smoke and curse, etc., so there's a distinction between the two.
This is insane.
They are covering up something for a reason.

Well after hearing so many negative information about the Bahamas. I guess it will be scratched off my travel list.
It wasn’t safe 20 years ago and I went twice and was told to be vigilant in where I went and I never had an issue.
Prayers for this family. This is frightening. I hope that they find her.
How many different times and ways are yous going to report the exact same thing? Any new news?
odd how the mother creates the narrative that she's not getting sufficient cooperation from natives, but yet she refuses to speak to local media in The Bahamas, only US media.
Perhaps the Bahamian media don't want to cover the story... they have a lot to lose as there are travel advisories for Nassau. As a cruiser, I keep up with travel advisories. A lot of people would not get off the ship in Nassau, however, they just put in a very nice new infrastructure at the port there, and I would get off the ship without too much concern, and I think it is good for the Bahamas. But if you go outside those confines, you may run into police with guns, machine guns at the end of the main street where the marina is at for personal boats (I have traveled thru there many times on a personal sportcruiser boat and stayed overnight at the marina). There has been more crime in Nassau, so cruisers are encouraged to only stay in that area unless they have a cruse excursion or reputable excursion company, and I would imagine reputable resorts there would be ok for the tourists that fly in. The Bahamian people are wonderful people, but there are bad actors in just about any group of people, no matter the country.
Maybe the Bahamas media want to state the facts about Taylor, not the narrative.
Proper name for residents is LOCALS, not "natives".
This is very disturbing!
Praying for Taylor and the Casey Family🙏🏻🙏🏻💛
Adult son turned woman
Ancestors please help hold her family with strength and power.
May the persons involved return her to safety 🙏🏾
This is a mess.
Amen ..My heart breaks for her mother and love ones
What type of question is,"what do u think happened to your daughter?"that's insensitive from one mother to another
Shared on my social media. I sure hope they find her well. Poor Momma 😢
Praying 🙏🏻
Keep in mind also Taylor was just there in February of this year. Could have met someone who would later plan a set up. 🤷🏻♀️
So sad. Prayers up for Taylor. ❤️
You can’t tell me not to ask guest for information. That’s crazy
This should be a warning NOT TO TRAVEL TO THE BAHAMAS! This sad story is an indication of how they treat tourist!
We have seen this too many times to know something is always weird with these cases.
The State Department cautioned Americans not to travel to the Bahamas several months ago because of high levels of crime. If they found her tent empty, there is a strong chance she is no longer alive. Hopefully, they do find her alive and safe.
My thoughts and prayers.❤ I hope she is found so family can have peace. She has been missing so many days now😢😢😢
I find it fishy that they called the fam for her missing a class. Sounds like they were trying to cover their tracks.
Its a yoga teacher training so she missed a few classes...so yes they call the contact.
The family need to be honest atp

Praying she is found safe. Sadly reality dictates differently. When a woman goes missing everyone regardless if on vacation, should cooperate! My God what is wrong with people????

Many places outside of the U.S. you need to travel in groups and travel companies and stay in resorts. The Bahamas have had cases of missing women and in Mexico a woman was killed and we still do not know why? I could go on and list experiences like this but I won't. What a shame! The police did not comment on this video in person or address it.
Why isn't the news stating she is really a "he"
Misleading and should be noted, so all angles are covered in the search.
The woman who was the last person to see her said she was last seen walking on the beach alone.
That’s a lie to throw everyone off.
If they have done their best, I hate to see their worse🤨
I bet someone from the yoga retreat or even the police might be involved 😢 she didn't just vanish someone knows something

There is a pattern going on with a few yoga studios .These particular studios take to the road and people of come up missing ..On remote islands..Last year in 2023 a female who looks to be Fillapino also went on a retreat m..And she came up missing ..That yoga studio was under scrutiny bye the public ..And the victims family .. Forcing one of there own to Quit and go into hiding ..
