Taylor Casey Misses During Yoga Trip to Bahamas, Family Searches for Her Home

A yoga enthusiast from Chicago mysteriously disappeared during a Sivananda Ashram yoga workshop within the Bahamas, sparking concern amongst her family and authorities.

Taylor Casey, 41, was last seen on Paradise Island on June 19, prompting the Royal Bahamas Police to take motion report a missing person two days later, June 21. According to the discharge published on FacebookCasey, a 15-year yoga veteran, launched into this journey to deepen her spiritual connection.

Her mother, Colette Seymore, expressed deep concern, stating: “I believe Taylor is in danger because upon her return she was keen to share her yoga retreat experience with others. Taylor would never disappear like that.” Adding to the family’s worries is the proximity to Nassau, a city combating crime. Earlier this 12 months, BLACK ENTERPRISE noted that the United States government had issued a Level 2 travel advisory for the Bahamas, citing a rise in homicides, particularly on the islands of New Providence (Nassau) and Grand Bahama (Freeport). The U.S. Embassy attributed most of those incidents to “retaliatory gang violence.”

CBS News reported that a retreat center within the Bahamas confirmed that Casey’s absence became apparent last Thursday when she he didn’t show up for his morning yoga sessionsDespite Paradise Island’s fame as a tourist haven, its location near Nassau has raised safety concerns. A family contingent, including Casey’s mother, is en route to coordinate the search with local authorities.

In the press release, Casey is described as a light-skinned black female, 5’10” and 145 kilos, with brown hair and eyes. She normally wears her natural hair covered with a durag.

As the search continues, Casey’s family stays hopeful for her secure return and is appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
