  • Chicago Woman Missing After Disappearing From Yoga Retreat In The Bahamas, Reports Say

    Chicago Woman Missing After Disappearing From Yoga Retreat In The Bahamas, Reports Say

    The family of a Chicago woman is expressing deep concern for her safety after she went missing during a yoga retreat in the Bahamas. Taylor Casey, 41 years old, was last seen on Paradise Island on Wednesday, as reported by the Royal Bahamas Police Force, per Huff Post.

    According to a statement from a family representative, Casey, who has been practicing yoga for 15 years, had traveled to the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas

    “to fulfill a long-term goal of deepening her practice.”

    The retreat center became alarmed when Casey did not attend her morning class on Thursday and subsequently requested authorities to investigate.

    “The Ashram is asking anyone with information on Ms. Casey to contact the local police,”

    the retreat center told the outlet.

    “In the interim, it is collaborating with the authorities on their investigation.”

    In the family’s press release, mother Colette Seymore said she thinks Casey

    “is in danger because she was eager to share her yoga retreat experience with others upon her return”

    to the U.S.

    “Taylor would never disappear like this,”

    said Seymore, who is now heading to the Bahamas to help find her daughter. Earlier this year, the U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for the Caribbean country, saying,

    “Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas.”

    Woman Arrested For Fatally Shooting Cheating Boyfriend, Reported Him Missing After Burying His Body

    Clayton County Sheriff’s Office cracked a missing persons case, arresting the person who made the original missing persons report, Law & Crime reported. 

    Newoker Adrianne Hurt, 45, was arrested in connection with the 2019 murder of her then-boyfriend, Shawn Jackson. According to the outlet, in August of 2019, Hurt allegedly shot Jackson in the head three times and buried his body after finding out he was cheating on her. 

    “It was later discovered that Mr. Jackson was caught in having an affair,”

    the CCSO said in their press release.

    “Ms. Newoker Hurt and the victim had a fight in front of the mistress’ house, went home, and fought all day through the night.”

    The 17-year-old son of Mr. Jackson said he overheard the couple fighting but said things cooled down by the end of the night. The next morning he learned that his father was missing from Ms. Hurt who claimed that his father

    “left them.”

    The two filed a missing person’s report for Jackson’s disappearance. 

    Jackson’s remains were later discovered on the side of the road by residents, according to AL.com. Clayton County Sheriff Levon Allen says that on April 20,

    “the Clayton County Police Department had compiled enough evidence to arrest and charge Hurt and her brother Shrron Stephan Hurt,”

    who reportedly helped her bury the body. They face charges of

    “malice murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, tampering with evidence, and concealing the death of another person,”

    officials said.

  • Colorado Man Buried In Cement Was Killed By “Best Friend”

    Colorado Man Buried In Cement Was Killed By “Best Friend”

    Two people are now in police custody after the body of a missing man was found encased in cement under a condo. According to Inside Edition, 38-year-old Haskel Leroy Crawford has been arrested and charged for the murder, and his ex-wife, 29-year-old Casie Bock, has been charged with accessory to homicide after she allegedly helped Crawford hide the body.

    On April 1st, police in Aurora, Colorado received a phone call from the family of Karl Beaman. They claimed to have not spoken with 36-year-old in 11 months, which was unusual. They had wanted to reach out to his closest friend, Crawford, but he was already in jail on unrelated charges of attempted first-degree murder related to another case.

    After receiving no help from authorities, Beaman’s family created a Facebook page to help locate him, where they received an anonymous message. “He’s buried under Casie Bock’s apartment in the crawlspace, under cement. Her and Leroy [Crawford] did it. I’m sorry,” the tipster wrote.

    While being interviewed by police, Bock says she had returned home from work and found Crawford in her condo. Beside him, she saw Beaman lying on the floor with a plastic bag over his head. She claims that Crawford threatened to harm her if she did not help him move and hide the body.

    The cause of Beaman’s death is pending a review by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office. Meanwhile, his family has created a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral expenses.

  • Man Reported Missing Found Dead 8 Months Later When Wife Looked For Decorations

    Man Reported Missing Found Dead 8 Months Later When Wife Looked For Decorations

    The body of a missing man was discovered in a mummified state nearly eight months after he was reported missing by his wife, New York Post reported.

    On April 22nd, 2022, Richard Maedge was reported missing by his wife of 19 years. Jennifer Maedge told officers that she had spoken to him the day beforehand over the phone, and that he told her he was coming home early. When she arrived to their house in Troy, Illinois, Jennifer saw that the 53-year-old’s car was in their driveway, and that his keys and wallet were inside, but Richard was nowhere to be seen. Local authorities searched the home twice, but Richard couldn’t be located.

    According to officers from the Troy Police Department, the Maedge’s home was described as a “hoarder home,” which made the search for the missing husband challenging. Despite bringing in a K-9 unit for tracking in and around the house, Richard Maedge was not found.

    Around eight months later, on December 11th, Jennifer Maedge discovered her husband’s remains inside a concealed part of a closet while she was searching for Christmas decorations. His body was within a small storage space, in a mummified state, which is why there was no odor post mortem. A coroner report released Thursday reveals that the cause of death was suicide, and no foul play was suspected.

    Marilyn Toliver, the sister of the deceased, has made many complaints about the Troy Police Department’s efforts to find her brother. Meanwhile, his widow praised the investigation, saying that she was grateful for their help. She has since commented that her sole focus is grieving her late husband so that she can move on.

  • Texas Kidnapper Used Fake Name While Dating Victim Was Discovered To Be Married

    Texas Kidnapper Used Fake Name While Dating Victim Was Discovered To Be Married

    On January 11th, the friends of Kayla Kelley contacted police in McKinney, Texas after she was not seen or heard from by relatives and coworkers for several days. The next day, her car was found on a deserted country road. Police say the vehicle “had been burned beyond recognition and the incident was not consistent with a natural fire.”

    When deputies looked for Kelley at her apartment, they discovered her dog. “The dog was without food and water and had to relieve itself on the floor,” authorities wrote. “It appeared the dog had been in that condition for a few days. Family and relatives advised the dog was like Kelley’s child and she would never leave it unattended for an extended period of time.”

    While interviewing the friends and family members of Kelley, it was discovered that she had a boyfriend named “Kevin,” who she initially met online. According to Law And Crime, Kelley had recently learned that he had been married to another woman the entirety of their relationship and she intended to confront him about it.

    When police searched Kelley’s phone records, they discovered that the man she knew as “Kevin” was actually Ocastor Shavon Ferguson. Cell phone records of the 32-year-old showed that he had been in the area of Kelley’s apartment and the area that her car was found, and then traveled back to his home in Grand Prairie on January 10th. He has since then refused to cooperate with police and disclose Kelley’s location and her condition.

    On Saturday, January 14th, Ferguson was arrested on kidnapping and arson charges. Authorities believe more charges are soon to follow as the investigation continues. He is currently being held at Collin County Sheriff’s Office on a $1 million bond.

    Fisherman Missing At Sea After He’s Dragged Overboard By Tuna In Hawaii, Police Say

    Hawaii police and the Coast Guard are searching for a man they say was dragged off to see by a tuna fish, NY Post reported. 

    Fisherman, Mark Knittle of Captain Cook was reportedly fishing with a friend at the time of the incident. The two were fishing four miles off the coast of Hōnaunau on the Big Island when Knittled appeared to have snagged the fish.

    “The fish is huge,”

    Knittle reportedly told his friend just before he was pulled into the water.

    The friend attempted to save Knittle by grabbing the line but missed. He told police that he saw Knittle on the surface for a brief moment but he disappeared

    “within seconds,”

    according to the outlet. 

    Police and Coast Guards have been searching for Knittle since his disappearance but say there’s a chance the massive fish dragged him far beyond their reach.

    “Usually our incidents like this are along the coastlines. This is a different situation because it’s out in the deep,”

    said Darwin Okinaka, Hawaii County Fire Department assistant chief of operations.

    “If there’s a fish that’s actually pulling him around, you don’t know where he could go,”

    he added. 

    The Hawaiian Ahi Tuna can grow up to 6 feet and 400 pounds, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
