Please start with the most obvious, the Yoga retreat people. The fact that they are so unbothered is distrubing.
is that a commentary on the passiveness of Yoga practitioners? Or is it a genuine observation of their malaise?
@@TheMpo1986 relax on the "high & mighty" since your neither
Real talk.... someone knows something 😢
Sounds like Nancy Ng. Goes missing at a yoga retreat and they all go home like nothing happened
human sacrifices are now rituals in yoga retreats. Everybody knows that.
Didn’t another woman die at a yoga retreat not long ago and they refused to help authorities? People quit going to these “retreats”!!
Yes! Nancy Ng at a yoga retreat in Guatemala in 2023. The retreat people would not talk. Still unsolved. They believe she drowned while kayaking or swimming on Lake Atitlan but def odd circumstances.
Yes! Those people do not care about anyone else
My friend David Cisneros was robbed at the same resort.
There was a murder of an American woman a few years ago at a yoga retreat in Belize. To this day, no one has been arrested.
Yes 😢
After what happened to that woman in Guatemala last year people need to be very suspicious about going to these so-called yoga retreats.
I agree, it’s ridiculous
What happened?
Yes
@@cynthiaholland13they went out on a canoe trip and supposedly she fell out the boat then drowned but none of the people spoke to the police before they got lawyers. The Feds are still investigating
Omggggg
I am really surprised how few news outlets are mentioning that she is trans when statistically that is a safety issue too
It's utterly baffling. Do they want to find this person or not? Failing to mention that makes it impossible to investigate properly. You never omit identifying information in a missing persons case, especially basics like sex, gender, as well as orientation. It all matters in learning about the victim to retrace their steps and find witnesses, motive, etc.
Wow, that's the first I've heard of this, definitely not on the news.
First time hearing this
Caribbean is homophobic. Is it true she's trans?
I would assume it could easily be a hate crime. Very disturbing.
God, please help them find this young lady. And if she's still alive, please keep her safe and reunite her with her family.
In Jesus name, Amen!
In God name & Jesus name amen 🙏🏼😢
Amen
She is trans and does not have Jesus as his savior
Trans woman, but yes, I hope she's alive but I very much doubt it.
Authorities should look into the cover ups around sexual assaults by senior staff at Sivananda Ashrams. There was a BBC documentary about it.
That's the retreat she was at? Thanks for the info. I was just saying that their name needs to be spoken loudly and boycotted.
😮😮😮 wow!!!
There's nothing wrong with sivananda ashrams stop promoting religious intolerance. It's like saying every church in the world should be investigated for preying on young boys.
Religion isn't the problem.
she is not the only person who has ever gone missing from this ashram - Wesley Bell January 2023 "It was alleged that the leadership of the ashram made no effort to contact the police immediately on the discovery of his disappearance." eprints.soas.ac.uk/39780/1/Investigation-Interim-Report-3-Project-SATYA.pdf
You’re disputing evidence from victims? The place is a cult. There is a difference between religions and cults.
Nobody goes swimming with their cellphone 🤔 someone probably threw it into the ocean to avoid being tracked. Sounds like she was kidnapped
people bring their phones everywhere.
Exactly
No, but lots of people wade into the water with their phone, just as she has done in the photo of her.
That's been my thoughts. Unless the phone was found in one of those water safe, ocean safe pouches, it had to be thrown into the ocean by the assailant.
If the phone was found in a pouch, then maybe there's something to the idea that she went for a swim alone and unfortunately fell victim to a shark. I would think even if a shark, there would be some clues e.g. when people swim, they leave shoes, towels, xx belongings the beach.
Yes they do, I see it all the time in Mexico and Jamaica they have cased just for that purpose.
I just wanna know what kind of phone that is pinging under water in the ocean.
Right. Me too
It was probably in a water proof pouch.
Me too.
Dolphin phone.
@@DAVELew-nq4zq u going straight to hell so get ready😮
This not looking good..been over a week now and still nothing
rip
Drowning or shark attack
Just a guess
@@yandaliz78MURDER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😡😡😡😡
@@lilyofthevalley2248no stupid....she could've went for a swim by herself and came in to some sort of difficulties.
It's been 2 weeks.
If it's impossible for a phone to ping in water, the person who claimed to have found her phone may be a person of interest.
What that means is before the phone died or was submerged, the last place it pinged was at a latitude/longtitude that is over a body of water. That could mean in a boat, raft, etc.
They can contact the phone carrier to check her phone records for numbers
Who took the picture? Start there. Someone was with her on the beach
That's probably her at a different beach... that they used to tie into this story.
Prayers she is found safe.
AMEN...❤
Who took that photo ?? They may know 🤷🏾♀️
Who took the picture?
Exactly. That was the last day she was seen.
The fact they aren't asking or looking into that nor mentioned it 1 time is disturbing
@@GDRAGON8818 How do you know the police aren't looking into that? Authorities? Don't share every detail of their investigation on the news for a reason.
@@zari2662 nope , don't do it because I know they withhold things BUT it's an island, with tourists. If they KNOW, or ARE looking into that they have a responsibility to make the public and family aware of every dang detail and not try to preserve the "reputation" of their dang islands reputation. It's very clear THAT is going on because some knew nothing about a missing woman, some have left and instead of offering full refunds or making it clear people are safe, the offered them "credits" to come back ?! Pls I know what I'm saying. They don't want to solve this because it'll ruin their income to fund that place !
these yoga retreats seem risky, isn't that how the other lady disappeared?
Yes, it was similar! 💯
Omg
Except for the fact that Taylor was no "Lady!"
Who took the picture of her standing in the Ocean? It’s not a selfie. So who took it?
Poor woman. Prayers for her family and friends.
A man is not a woman though.....
I hope she's found soon.
She’s gone
They MAY find her remains.
They won't.
I'm confused about how disappearing is not suspected foul play. It should be that first
This wasn’t even being investigated until the news started talking about it constantly. Now the authorities there have decided to look into it. Also the yoga retreat asking the one reporter to please leave bc people were meditating shows how much they really give a damn.
You don't know that
It’s true the family went down there place was running like nothing happened!
@@motionentertainment452 th-cam.com/video/B7KDFglLR44/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eXmLVVYWbHpFs3ty
If you hadn't saw this already for yourself, she's in fact, Correct.
They don't care.
Put pressure on the people over the Yoga Retreat!!!!!
Absolutely. They sound quite laisai-faire about the whole thing!
I really hope she is found safe and sound
She's not safe. Most likely murdered. Too much of this. We all know how it ends. 😢
Hey I hope she's found safe real soon who ever took pictures probably took her ladies becarul when traveling always go in groups praying for family thanks for sharing blessings ❤️
No one is taking this as seriously as it should be!
Not even the family. They're withholding the fact she's trans which is a huge detail to leave out, as they're more likely to be victims of violent crime and would open different possible motives.
This is so tragic. I pray the family gets answers
God be with the family ✝️ And with Taylor be safe ✝️🕊️🇺🇸
rather OBEY GOD & Give THANKS ALWAYS - knowing He IS w/her. - you Catholic? they are ALWAYS ASKING instead of ALWAYS THANKING Like Jesus Tells us In the Word Of God
Amen!
@@LAFITZ10I'm praying for you. R u ok?
AMEN❤
Phone in the water very strange. Someone knows
That's a fact...
Agreed…More than ONE someone as well! Side note: This Ashram has been the subject of a BBC documentary as well.
They probably never tell what happened.
They know.
JUSTICE FOR TAYLOR CASEY!!!!!
Nancy Ng disappeared last year at a yoga retreat in Guatemala. The people at the retreat wouldn't talk. Very tragic and odd.
The truth will always be revealed at the right time
Really many murders go unsolved. Sounds like some religious nonsense to me.
SENDING PRAYERS TO HER FAMILY 🔥🙏🔥💖I PRAY THAT SHE IS FOUND🔥🙏🔥💖
I hope they find her
Didn't another woman go missing at a yoga retreat a few months ago??
Indeed
Her case not as big as this one. I didn’t hear about it
Yes. 😮
I hope this is not another Jordan VanderSloot type situation. While it doesn't look good, all we have is hope. However, the retreat she was at should be outed & boycotted due to their attitude.
Well said ❤
@@pennytilghman3003 Thank You!
Praying for her and her family ❤
That's a badass phone. Surviving at the bottom of the ocean
I thought that as well in a non-joking manner.
It would take years for a phone to dissolve in water.
@@MissRed92837 Not dissolve genius, but to still work, duh
Amazing it was found🤔
@@thedailygrind-m70 Ups! I have to admit English is not my mother language. I googled the German word “auflösen” and got the word “dissolve” in English. What I meant a phone won’t disappear so fast in water. Her phone pinged the last time in the ocean and that’s where they found the phone.
God save her and give her family and the world answers. Hold the guilty accountable
The scary thing is if you enter a body of water and nobody sees you, who's going to know if you drown. I hope she's ok. Feel bad for the family.
Or sharks 🦈 the Bahamas are loaded with sharks . It’s illegal to catch and kill sharks .
She’s in the ocean somewhere
But if deceased, in water the remains should have floated up by now.
@@lindagibson744 depends on the currents?
@@Robin-xt7yo true
😢😢
@@lindagibson744Not if the sharks are hungry !
Lord have mercy 😢I hope they find this woman.
May all seek Jesus Christ and get close to him. May her family be comforted.
NEVER TRAVEL ALONE...LESSON ONE...these countries are not safe....especially now..men, women..u have to learn how to be safe.
What are you talking about. We are the country with mass murders on a regular basis.
Find Taylor ❤🙏
We’ve had similar situations at our canoe outfitting company. Big group goes out, one person is left behind. One guy needed emergency rescue twice on one trip. They either don’t get along or not as strong a paddler.
Praying 🙏🏼
🙌🏾 for her safety
I pray she is found alive. ❤
I feel so sad this happened to her. It is so obvious her phone was thrown into the ocean and she was kidnapped...
Why no cameras where she stayed?
That's same question I asked.
@@caudraypratt3161Too many questions unanswered and the obvious is apparent. I feel so bad for her. The family is totally devastated. And, we are all concerned about her.
I believe that retreat has answers.
This is horrible. I hope her family gets answers, soon.
Who took the photo of her standing in the water
Excellent Question 🤔
Likely someone at the Yoga Retreat with him.
Jussie Smollet
@@MaudePoisonwhy do you like every other comment, keep referring her as a Him????
@@tammyslaughter7141Supposedly the victim was transgender. So the commentator is referring to them by their gender.
Praying for her 🙏🏽
She probably met someone . She seem friendly and got captured
जल्दी मिल जाए यही प्रार्थना करते हैं
If she was out on that water ya might wanna start there
Maybe she got pulled out by the wave and drowned.
🙏 for her
I could be wrong but something’s off. I can’t quite put my finger on it. But I do NOT have a feeling she’s no longer with us. Something else is in play. I hope they stop giving cryptic stories and locate her soon for the families sake.
Oh my goodness this isn't good news at all. We all just gonna continue keep faith, hope, and prayers daily.
This is heart breaking…
Blessings💜🙏….
You know those Bahama authorities are working their asses off to resolve this. Not because it's their job and the right thing to do for public safety, but because of the bad publicity and the impact it might have on tourism. Their economy revolves around tourist dollars, and they want that to keep flowing. But hey, whatever gets the job done.
I agree with you. As a citizen of the Bahamas, we rely too much on tourists dollars, putting all are eggs in one basket.
@@caudraypratt3161 I think Tourism is one of the main economic engines for many countries, all over the world!
America has her own beauty. How about a road trip or staycation?
@Sharyk808 - very true
So you think America is safer? Lol Anything can happen anywhere
America is so much scarier
@@saranwright7113She didn’t go missing in America sooo…
Women please stop traveling alone to these so called retreats in other countries!
She isn't a woman though. She is a transgender
Let's hope that the person did not go into the ocean to swim alone. That is the Atlantic Ocean, rough as hell on that side of the island 😢😢😢😢
What happened to what we learned in school "buddy system"?
In this case, did she have a buddy and, if so, who?
Was she a drinker?
How late are bars open? Where is the closest one?
Have they questioned all boat owners, large and small?
The poor mother saying it's every mother's worst nightmare.... breaks my heart. A human is a human. 😢❤
That is unfortunate.
🧿🧿🧿🧿🙏🏽Speak LIFE and BELIEVE.She WILL be FOUND🙏🏽🧿🧿🧿🧿
I hope they find her safe 🙏.
This is so for such a beautiful soul. I hope she’s found alive sipping on Bahama Moma’s 😢😢😢😢
@@poollife777
Yeah it keeps coming on the news and the mom is trying to celebrate her birthday but we know it’s hard to do.
Love, prayers, and blessings to the family.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Birthday young lady.
I'm just wondering if she could have been victim to all these rip current deaths. I had been thinking about it and then I see her in the water so I'm just wondering 🤔 but I want to know exactly how far out did they find that phone 🤔
Reminds me of the Natalie Holloway case 19 years ago….
Ooh yess that just came to me
That’s what I’m afraid of 😢
Or the 2 Dutch girls in Panama. 😮
The islands are all becoming very dangerous
You mean the retreat a
All of these comments are on point. This case is eerily similar to the missing British tourist in Tenerife. Quite tragic.
I pray she is found safe. ❤
Oh no! So sorry for her family.
Prayers for taylor & jay slater 🙏
what a cover up something odd going on the staff!!
Who taking pictires of her? And how you find a phone in the ocean?
Here is a thought.... DON'T TRAVEL TO PLACES WHERE YOU ARE CONSIDERED A TOURIST!! Stay home or at least in your own country and Canada. Canada is good. 💙😊
Who was she with?
Too early to expect foul play? Is that what she said? That seems crazy. That’s the first thing that comes to my mind.
Sending prayers to her family and friends
Why is the press ignoring this case
Cause she doesn't look like gabby petito. Sad to say.
Taylor is from Chicago. It's being covered on NBC, ABC and NewsNation. Several TH-camrs are covering it also.
Are there specific things to show that she did not drown? If she left her phone on the beach and went for a swim, when the tide came up, it could wash it out. So sad 😢
I have heard that Bahamas is a very dangerous place for tourists. Apparently so. Bless her 😢
Why they not mentioning hes a trans person. People are looking for a woman but it’s really a man this can make the search harder.
That “Yoga retreat” seems sus
Praying for Taylor's save return.
Sounds like she killed herself
I hope she was not van der Slooted!
Did this happen to another woman in a yoga retreat?
Yes.
This makes absolutely no sense this is urgent and something isnt right her phone found in the ocean who takes a cell phone in the water nobody please find her ,her family and friends need her back
Who took the picture of her in water
Sounds like shark attack to me
Agreed
Yeah land sharks!
@@airadaimagery692 Exactly--the two leg variety.
They probably sacrificed her. Poor lady
Yeah The Bahamma police knows what's up. They are in on it.
What a stupid comment
Really what kind of comment is that?
@@EmancipateMeethe typical kind you find on the internet.
@@airadaimagery692 yes indeed!!! Baloney!!! Horse manure.
The Police woman talking comes across as very professional & caring 😊 I have faith she will get answers to this sad situation as no one just disappears its usually foul play. But really hope for a positive outcome 😊
😢 come home Taylor.. please...
Poor lady 😮
Ms.Casey's niece had to ping her phone.She in the one that told Casey's mother where her daughter phone was not the Bahamian Authorities.The Bahamain Authorities can't crack a thing !
Can she swim?
"Too early to expect foul play" in an island that has warnings out on increased crime?
I don't know about anyone else but if I go swimming in the ocean I am not taking my cell phone. That should have been the first indication of foul play. Even if she was asked by someone to go on their boat with them, they could have accidently, on purpose, knocked her phone out of her hand so she would not be able to call for help. And no one heard screaming ?
Did they check the building at the retreat that is closed now for the season?
Prayers that they find Taylor soon.
Who took the photo?
