The family of Taylor Casey, a transgender woman who went missing in the Bahamas during a yoga retreat, believes she may have been discriminated against after a high-ranking officer connected to the search was suspended. NBC’s Maura Barrett spoke with friends and family of Casey about the investigation.
The mother of an American woman who went missing in the Bahamas last month while on a month-long yoga retreat revealed that her daughter is transgender, a detail she said she had withheld out of fear it might negatively affect the search. In the weeks since Taylor Casey was last seen alive on June 19, her mother and close friends have been working around the clock to find her.
“And that potentially, you know, in this moment of being on this retreat, there might be people that seemed trustworthy, or who seemed not ill-intentioned, but could have done harm to Taylor. We just would have heard from her if there was any other option.” On June 20, Seymore got the call from retreat staff that Casey was missing. Ashram staffers reported Casey’s disappearance to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, or RBPF, according to a police news release, after notifying Seymore.
