NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, via a press statement issued Sunday July 14, 2024, sought to address a “number of comments which have appeared in the press originating from Chicago about the disappearance of an American citizen Casey Taylor in The Bahamas.”
The statement continued, “The Royal Bahamas Police Force has conducted a full and thorough investigation and continues to cooperate with the family and the US authorities in the discharge of the investigation.”
“There are a number of material misstatements in the press about this matter, attributed to various spokespersons for the family. The facts as they are now established do not bear the interpretations which are being described in the US media and being advanced by various spokespersons for the missing person.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asserted that “the record of cooperation and thoroughness of the Royal Bahamas Police Force including calling on technical expertise from the United States is clear.”
“It is understandable in grief that there is anxiety for a solution. We share in the concern and our country is anxious to see that this matter is resolved. There have been no complaints from US authorities on how this matter has been conducted. In fact, we have been congratulated both by the family and the US authorities. The investigation is still open.”
Foreign Affairs officials urge those making comments, therefore, not to prejudge this investigation by making comments that are manifestly prejudicial and untrue.
