[@sherryttasedgwick7483]

I really believe that something sinister with the retreat is at play. The staff didn't even want to talk to the reporter. And no one has said question all staff at that resort. This could be something bigger. Snatching women for their organs. The blood of Jesus will prevail. The mother will get justice. Lastly, there is no security on the resort. Especially women are being housed outside in tents.

[@mirandakillgallen93]

Exactly, no meditation is that important when it comes to a missing person.

[@darlenechandler2403]

Right real odd to me, telling reporters not to come in, would they all not be scared for themselves and want to speak and clear the air with any evidence they might know, even how small, might help. If someone was being harmed, I am sure one would scream and no one heard anything or not saying. Tents are not sound proof

[@aprilrae6551]

They don't want to scare the guests away. It isn't safe to sleep in a tent, in a strange country. Anybody sleeping outside, need to go home.

[@MashaT22]

NN has FBI contacts, as well as contacts at The State Department. Please reach out to both agencies on behalf of this aching mother. Set up a meeting so she can speak with both agencies. Maybe ask both the comment on this case officially or event get an on-camera interview. If they don’t step in, the Royal Bahamian Police won’t do their job. I’d even suggest reaching out to officials in the British Palace. The Bahamas are a member of The Commonwealth of Nations - they are accountable to the English Monarchy and King Charles III. I think the palace needs to investigate the situation with safety in the Bahamas and look into the lack of a proper investigation where Taylor and other missing tourists are concerned.

Yeah, the family need to get her phone and her belongings! They are investigating info on it. So the family probably cant get it yet! I am sure her phone has calls, text info to her mom or family. Letting them know what was going on there! Wicked people there! I pray all the people responsible, for this young woman missing. Be held accountable for their evilness! On a comment under a video. Someone heard that, a student said. At around 11:30 pm., there was a noise of Taylor tent being unzipped, and noise of someone moving things around, in her tent. Suspicious! It may have been a evil stalker, rapist, killer, on that Bahamas island, yoga retreat. That went in her tent and did something bad to her. Most likely this has happened to other women, there. Not ok! Why was the women sleeping, staying in outside tents? A set up! Dangerous! Not good! It is easy access to predators! I hope they are caught ASAP! Yoga practice classes, is demonic! After the exercise stretches. The yoga instructor, had the students, lay on the floor, close eyes, meditate, and chant weird words, quoted by the instructor. I did not realize until years latter. That it was not good for me to do that. I had to repent to God, and renounce, for participating in that evilness! It's not just exercise stretches. It is inviting evil spirits in a person life!

[@rosiewills2431]

Taylor was stalked by a predator/s. Whoever did this was aware single women would be at that retreat. I feel the phone was thrown in the ocean to throw off the investigation. Her body is probably still at that place. I feel so bad for the family. Taylor would not do that to her family. A similar situation occurred where the news reporter was mur$#& on a retreat in Belize. She was doing meditation by herself when she remained behind from the group. Women who go to foreign countries should always be aware that even in a crowd predators are out there watching and waiting for a vulnerable woman.

[@darlenechandler2403]

I was thinking the same thing, it might better help in the search and piece some things together of who she associated with at the retreat, did she go off the retreat for walks. Did someone stalk her and find out she was a male and enraged. Really would help perhaps. If being Trans, she may have the ability to fend for herself with more strength, even if she got in the ocean and was pulled in by a tide, who knows.
