I'm from the Bahamas...a few years ago my 14 yr old son went on a trip to Belize with his school.... hours after they landed he lost his life and was found at the bottom of a river. I never got a an opportunity to meet with the chaperones until 2 months later... in addition I was told NOT TO COME to his school, and I later learned that parents and his classmates were instructed NOT TO SPEAK to me. I'm sharing this because... even those we hold to a high moral standard...decided to protect themselves despite such a grotesque situation. It was more than a slap in the face... clearly they didn't give 2 F'ks as to what our family was going through. To this day.. I'm appalled at how things were handled... and even more appalled that no one was held accountable for his demise. With that said.. please note that the Bahamas isn't unsafe.. people are just f'kd up. Yes there is crime in the Bahamas like everywhere else. I think that people have a false sense of security when they're in the islands or a place deemed beautiful and peaceful. It's unfortunate that Taylor's family is experiencing this and I pray for their comfort at this time... and that Taylor is found and they get the answers and respect they deserve. When I finally met with my son's chaperone's... according to them.. no one knew anything..and. NO ONE saw what happened to my son. A year later I received a call from the US Embassy in Belize that someone had turned in my son's go pro..........they asked if I wanted it.... (THE FN AUDACITY!!) of course I wanted it... They sent it via regular mail... it took a month for me to receive it... once I watched the recording... the truth was finally revealed...............................they watched my son drown...................................further.............he attempted to get help more than once.........no one extended a hand to save him. In Taylor's case.. I feel like the yoga retreat and those associated requires a full and thorough investigation. However... other people have access to the beach as well and it's tough to figure out who and what occured. I hate these types of situations because people are just straight up dishonest or just tight lipped..and it's unfortunate. As for the family being 'strangely quiet'... personally when my situation occured...I truly didn't have the mental or emotional capacity to speak to anyone I didn't have to. It literally took me 4 years to speak about my son's situation without breaking down. People must understand... you're truly not yourself when you're going through these types of situations. My prayer is that regardless of where we all are.....................situational awareness is your best friend. Don't allow beautiful surroundings to give you a false sense of security.................and sadly ............... TRUST NO ONE (especially when traveling alone). Also PLEASE take self defense classes... consider it a gift to yourself. Blessings to Taylor's family... my heart breaks for you... #muchlove

I just read their website of the retreat and many of the rooms do not have bathroom facilities and you have to leave your room and go to a bathroom facility. I am wondering if that is a safety issue and something happened to her going to a facility when it was dark out, just a thought. The retreat is so isolated and out at night to use those facilities, I would be scared myself. Nothing has been said whether her belongings were in her room still. Also from their website, the place looks bohemian to me and wonder if there is any security. If there are no roads, anyone stranger not staying there can walk along that beach at night and cause harm. And strange they don’t like the publicity of the missing woman. I get a strange feeling about that place, being isolated, no roads, have to take THEIR Boat to get there and they don’t want it states in their website, customers going into Nassau from the retreat.

True….why would she go in the ocean with her phone. Since people don’t usually take the phone in the water to swim with it…..it was either thrown in or she was on a boat with it and if someone abducted her they could have carried her off on a boat. Of course there’s always the possibility she walked out into the water just to get a picture….and somehow drowned or got bit by a shark or something. What’s even more odd is that no one at that yoga place saw or heard anything and act like they have no clue what’s going on around them…..or they are in on it….you never know.

[@oldjarhead386]

The odds of a phone “pinging” under salt water is almost ZERO. Maybe right at the surface. But those particular frequencies are not going to penetrate salt water.

@@guinealove3744 honestly that’s not true, they’ve put up billboards around the town and it’s been on the news and they searched a bit but I don’t think they did their due diligence because the tourist was literally only missing a day and even in the states you have to wait 48 hours for a missing adult

[@tmelanie2815]

Took a cruise here seven years ago my excursion was for a public beach. I felt so unsafe just walking to the beach. Praying for her family

[@s.roberson584]

😔it sounds like unfortunately this woman may possibly be deceased and the island refuses to tell the truth as to what happened.

[@musicgirlcali9030]

Jet ski guys come by the beach and offer to rent them and take people for rides. An example of how her phone could have fallen off when she was riding on a jet ski. Or she was taking a ride and went on a boat . She wouldn’t swim with it but jet ski with it . Definitely .

[@mrscpjones16]

Lord help please

[@LWalks64]

That yoga retreat is definitely suspicious

[@snicholson8884]

People taking aim at an entire country that is looking for Taylor LGB(T)QIA and not at the Ashram retreat on an island that's off of another island, that's off of the mainland. That isn't owned nor operated by locals. And those people are refusing to talk or assist with the investigation. They have or don't want to share camera/surveillance footage. Investigate the ashram, the workers, the other clients. They know something and keeping quiet, until they take their next private flight out of the country.

[@fulanichild3138]

What time did her phone ping in the ocean? If it was in the daytime, did anyone see her on the beach or in a boat? If at night.... that's a more complicated situation.

[@toyafoster3173]

Really?!?!? They, the yoga resort, has a problem with reporters because they are trying to help locate a missing woman? Really? I have a major problem with that. That says to me, forget the missing woman, we have a business to run!!! In other words, if I went there and became missing, they would NOT be interested in helping to find me! Smdh! Hot mess!

[@juliekswanson]

I stayed at the Sivananda retreat space for a week one time. Loved it, but there were definitely some sketchy people there who were basically drifter-types who stayed on the grounds for free in exchange for doing some work. One of those guys was trying to pick me up when I was eating lunch near the beach…

[@book_worm22]

Wow and im a female that really wants to start doing solo traveling all over the world. Things like this definitely give me pause.

Not a good idea to go anywhere alone however the retreat has nothing to do with The Bahamas. The Bahamas is also not only Nassau. The out islands of The Bahamas are safe, tranquil and absolutely gorgeous.

A lot of the water in the Bahamas is shallow. It’s crystal clear too. And yes, there are sharks there.

[@meg4458]

I agree. Doubt she will too. Thank you for pointing this out tho.. I had to search why she was connected... this lady went to a yoga retreat owned by her. Now I know.

[@lindsayo9702]

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t own that retreat. If she did,this story would be all over the media just like her trial was. The retreat had an article in Goop magazine. They also had one in the Washington Post but no one’s frothing at the mouth about why Jeff Bezos isn’t “doing anything.”🙄

@@meg4458it’s not owned by her. She had an article about it on her website Goop. Big difference.

[@user-wm6ur6oz5l]

Common sense tells us that she didn’t take a swim with her phone. I’m so very concerned because I don’t believe she would just walk away from her life and torture her mom.

[@marthaduncan7694]

Everyone at resort should have been interviewed. Anyone who left around the time this lady went missing needs to be tracked down and interviewed. Taylor's movements need to be retraced (using phone data). As for those who are "not happy" about folks looking for Taylor, and feel their "vibe" is being interrupted - maybe they need to rethink their empathy and status as a human. I wonder how their attitudes would change if it was their family member that was missing and no one at the facility gave a toss. Just my 2 cents.

[@patriciaalexander5144]

[@sayno2globalism]

These day you have to travel in a group, more than two, I’d say at least five, and never leave each other alone. Traveling like this even to a retreat, a school, whatever has gotten way too dangerous. I’ve traveled abroad alone and had the best time, but I wouldn’t do it again. Not in today’s day and age. So sad…… I hope she’s found.

[@roncougar1]

The beautiful person who loved life and went to this Yoga retreat to gain knowledge and bring it back to her clients was obviously snatched up by an evil person or persons. And the lack of investigation from the Bahamian government and the retreat speak volumes. As a tourist who has visited the Bahamas numerous times in the past, my advise is to stay out of countries and territories that only care about $$$$.

[@TiashniqMiller]

Wth? Did you not watch the video? The Bahamian police has an ACTIVE investigation going on where they’re using multiple resources. The retreat however, is a different story and those people there are not even Bahamians.

[@ahha1834]

The Bahamian people are some of the nicest people I have met in the world and I travel a lot.
