Taylor Casey, a 41-year-old woman from Chicago, has been missing since last week when she disappeared during a yoga retreat in the Bahamas. The Royal Bahamas Police Force issued a missing person bulletin, stating that Casey was last seen on Wednesday near Paradise Island, which is close to the crime-ridden city of Nassau.
Casey had traveled to the Caribbean country specifically for the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat before her disappearance. Her family, deeply concerned, believes she is in danger. Her mother emphasized that Taylor would never voluntarily vanish, especially given her eagerness to share her retreat experience with others upon her return.
According to CBS News, Casey did not attend morning classes at the retreat center on Thursday after being seen the previous evening. The Ashram is actively seeking information about Ms. Casey and is collaborating with local authorities in their investigation.
In an effort to find her, Casey’s family plans to travel to the Bahamas this week. Described by loved ones as an intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and joyful person, Taylor has been practicing yoga for 15 years.
It’s important to note that the Bahamas has been flagged by the U.S. State Department due to safety concerns. Travelers are advised to exercise increased caution, particularly in Nassau, where violent crimes such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas. Unfortunately, more information about Casey’s case is not immediately available.
