She has last exchanged messages with Ms Casey on June 18 as revealed by Ms Seymore, the day before she was last seen. “Taylor had sent me pictures…in the Atlantic Ocean, saying ‘I miss you mom. I miss you. Look, I’m at the beach’.”
Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas organized the yoga retreat. The group contacted her family and the US embassy when she did not appear for a morning class on June 20. “What we’re hearing does not sound like Taylor, and we need more information,” Ms Casey’s friend, Emily Williams said.

They added, “Be vigilant when staying at short-term vacation rental properties where private security companies do not have a presence,” the warning added.
