Taylor Casey’s family asks US government to intervene in search 

Not hurt her but "him"

Very good point. Indeed, this would be critical information to disclose and provide context to the case, and the local authorities.

WOW

Thank you for confirming on the statements, as I was very confused about the comments. Thought they were trolls or just being ignorant, but turns out those comments were right! Bahamas is not very accepting to gender rights, I know from a gay neighbor who vacationed there a few years back. This is something that should be disclosed for sure!

And gays and transgender people have not been welcomed on some of the islands. This has gone on for years. Hope she's safe. OMG

And continued the classes. Everyone was supposed to get together and search

@@Hollywood305 Yup this is how racist Wypipo operate unfortunately, they continue like nothing happened. Her passport was gone: only someone there would have taken it from her tent. They are involved!!! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why would they automatically assume something horrible happened on day 1? She's a grown woman. My 1st thought would be she slept in, or maybe sick or not feeling well, or maybe just taking a day off. I don't think it would be appropriate to start a full on manhunt if someone missed one day of class.

This is my first time hearing that Taylor is Trans, but hopefully, Taylor is found safe.

No. It does not help. It just feeds speculation and irrelevant discussion -- not to mention additional haters for the family. You would do more for the investigation by deleting this comment.

⁠@@DMK195601it actually helps tremendously. If the missing person did not undergo sex change surgery then identifying the body will be easier. However, I’m hoping Taylor is still alive. Hopefully no hate will be directed towards the family. In this case clear and concise details are needed while a search is still underway.

@@DMK195601 This a missing person case - where the public is tasked with providing tips and potentially aiding in the investigation- so basic physical characteristics of the person missing, (ie their sex) - are literally the most relevant information to make public to help FIND the person. If, for example, Taylor has grown facial hair since going missing, it’s important for the public to understand that they are looking for a biological male who may present as a male at the time of being found. It’s also relevant to motive, if a crime was committed - Taylor could have been targeted specifically for being trans. And it’s not speculation - it took me 36 seconds online to find that Taylor was born Terrence. I respect everyone’s right to use whatever gender expression they choose, but if we want to FIND this MISSING human being, we need to share the same reality and the same facts.

​@@raep3713Don't delete the truth. Bahamian police need to know who to look for.

It's only moved down 1 level. You're saying crazy stuff. If this was your family you would be singing a different tune. Do you just make this up as you go

To move down is a substantial move period. People have to maintain some kind of accountability for their own actions

@@tinytim4657 It's no more dangerous than any American city. Enjoy your life of fear.

​​@@csps56The person that posted that is correct here is why. First off, those rules are put in place to help us and assist us in these travels. Basically, the government tells you damn if you do damn if you do read these travel advisories before you buy your tickst. Secondly, I hope Bahamian govt steps in and does not cover this up, but i have to tell you the truth about traveling overseas, not just a civilian but as a former servicemember. As a former Army Servicemember of 17 years, we were directed to sit in mandatory briefings regarding traveling on leave, especially during crisis events such as this. What people don't understand is that Americans are desperate to travel overseas for vacation etc etc etc. I can count on the number of my hands of reports of servicemembers who went on vacation and never came back because of incidents like this. Ma'am I strongly respect your opinion but also at the same time you have to read up on the laws outside of the United States while traveling. A lot of countries don't tolerate Americans because Americans tend to want privileges, special accommodations etc etc etc. You also have to vet who you're going on vacation with to be sure you're safe and in the vacation spot is safe. Ma'am we've lost a lot of good men and women in our govt thay specializes in cases like this when it involves adults missing and children missing. Please take this in consideration and because if that was my adult son or daughter and their kids I'd give them the warnings about traveling overseas for vacations etc and then I'll let them make that decision for themselves. I saw it with my own eyes when I served in the Army for 17 years. I look forward to your response.

I feel bad for her family but US authorities cannot force or compel the Bahamian authorities to do anything. How can they "intervene" in how a sovereign nation works?

Correct!

It is part of the government's responsibility. What do think you being a citizen and government taxes are for? Citizens help fund such entities like the FBI and US Embassy for reasons like this. The tax paying citizen just wants her daughter back (a daughter who is also a tax paying citizen). I am certain, you'd make the same request from your government, if you were in this situation. So, please have some tact and stop the "Why do Americans..." rhetoric. 🙄

Because the people running the resort there, the ones being suspiciously unhelpful, are American. If they were Canadian, she'd call Canadian authorities.

You are slow

Because as Americans, government always intervene abroad when it’s Wypipo!!! It’s called embassy. Your govt is suppose to come to your aid in another country.

And her passport is also missing

@@yandaliz78the employees are involved!!!

@@yandaliz78 Well that could mean if she was kidnapped that she couldn't be easily identified. Although she wouldn't have had her passport physically on her. Thats something you keep in a bag or suitcase in your hotel room. Unless she carried it in her purse with her. Was a purse found in her room? If not, she could be carrying it with her and provided the passport is in the purse would be missing as well. So abducted or she took off and left the island?

​@robertchandler2124 I feel that way too. I feel that a person or persons either among staff at the yoga retreat or the guess are responsible for his disappearance.

@@lindagibson744my intuition is never wrong: The fact they continued classes & did not search immediately shows 1 or more are responsible. Can’t trust being around Wypipo unfortunately: the YT female teachers continued classes & were unbothered she was gone. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE & INVOLVED!!! 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@Randy-j8y Yes! And someone knows who he is!

I haven’t seen any disrespectful comments People are just being honest

Thank you Neanderthal you can go back into your hole in the Caucasus Mountains. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Like why is that not being disclosed?

@@Hollywood305 cuz it’s irrelevant idiot. That is a picture of human being that looks like a female, a woman. A transgendered woman. Idiots like you everywhere! 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@Hollywood305I have a feeling the Mom never told them.

A man?

Right ! Hell it's not even safe at your own home 😂💆🏾‍♀️

Whoever is responsible is long gone from there. It's such a shame. If I were the police I would start interrogating everyone of the staff and guess who were present at that time. That place would be under lockdown, nothing coming in and nothing or anyone going out.

she was born a woman and is a trans man..

Who cares what her gender affiliation is your lack of humanity causes you to miss the point

The phone is evidence and cannot be turned over to the mother. Dah!

Wait what???

Wait, was it actually born a male or do you mean she's a Lesbian?

And many guys just absolutely hate bait 'n switch...

Man

Sharks who walk upon land...

@@marknewton6984 Land sharks

Trafficking? Those smugglers are going to be surprised when the meat and 2 veg flops out.

@@Mr_Zod a lot of men like pretty boys especially in Asian countries. Think broader.

@@spitfirestake54 Such a negative outlook. I hope someone gives you the hug you clearly need.

@@MsRoniNikol I call it a realistic outlook

What ?

Nope the poster said black female which is misleading

Not true! I’ve traveled to 9 countries solo. Best experiences of my life!

It's a man

@@crystalbolton1735 ya ya ya .so you had sex in all of them ? i wouldnt brag.

First of all that's a man, second of all there's a huge human trafficking ring there, that Retreat and the Government know this but they are not going to tell the public, they are worried about that money from tourism

@@user-pg7cx9wo1m - What man? Of course, the Bahamas is concerned about tourism rather than alerting the public that there is danger.

Him

Hi where did you stay in Antigua

No, not in the Bahamas.
