Since her disappearance, Casey's family has traveled to the Bahamas in an effort to help law enforcement track her down.
Most recently, police announced search crews including K-9 units tracked a scent to waters where they found Casey’s cell phone and a journal. Investigators reported they have been unable to access its contents.
In the update, posted on the police force's X page on July 2, they also said Casey's passport remained missing.
Family said Taylor Casey was eager to return to Chicago
Casey, who has been practicing yoga for 15 years, traveled to the Bahamas to attend the yoga retreat to "fulfill a long-term goal of deepening her practice."
Before Casey went missing, she was eager to return to Chicago and share her "newfound knowledge and experience with others," according to a release from her family
