A retired FBI agent told Fox News Digital that new details surrounding the disappearance of the American woman who has been missing in Bahamas since June 19 is giving some 'red flags.'
As the search intensifies for Taylor Casey, a Chicago woman who disappeared on June 19 while on a yoga retreat in the Bahamas, a former FBI agent breaks down what steps the agency would take to aid in the effort.
Some examples he offered that investigators are looking into are: Did she go into the ocean for a swim and drowned, or did she go on a hike and fall, or did she get lost or was she the victim of a crime? 'Nine days is a long time to be missing,' Duffey said.
Duffey said the FBI would be involved on day one of her reported disappearance and that they would be working with Bahama authorities immediately upon request. ' FBI handles all crimes against Americans overseas and can either assist the locals or look to prosecute here in the U.S. with that jurisdiction as the assist. This is why any terror attack in the world against a U.S. citizen can be prosecuted here,' Duffey said.
Duffey added that this case would have been handled similarly to the Natalee Holloway case in Aruba and the missing woman from Florida, Ana Maria Knezevich, who was believed to be killed by her Serbian husband in Argentina. Casey, 41, remains missing after being last seen at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island in Nassau. Duffey said investigators are treating this case with urgency as each day Taylor is not found, it's less likely she'll be found alive.
