FRIENDS and relatives of Taylor Casey, an American woman who went missing in The Bahamas, have raised $32,000 through crowdfunding as they try to find the 42-year-old.

The donations will help them secure an attorney and legal team, support mental health, and pay for additional trips to New Providence and Washington, DC.

Ms Casey’s disappearance was discovered on June 20 when she did not attend morning classes at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat.

She was last seen at the retreat late on the evening of June 19.

Her friends and relatives have criticised the investigation into her disappearance. The company behind the retreat have dismissed their claims as “false and defamatory and not based on facts.”
