NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Royal Bahamas Police Force is squashing American media reports that allege Chief Supt. Michael Johnson is on paid leave in relation to the missing American Taylor Casey’s case. The denial is detailed in this press release that was issued last night.

In that statement, police describe the information shared on online sites and social media as, quote: erroneous and unequivocally unrelated, end quote.

As for why Johnson is currently on garden leave?

Last Friday, Police Commissioner Clayton Fernander said Johnson had volunteered to go on leave pending an investigation into allegations made following the release of voice notes that have been shared on social media.

While both incidents are unrelated, in a press conference held in Chicago yesterday, Casey’s family claimed the opposite.

Casey was last seen at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island three weeks ago. The family has been vocal since losing contact with their loved one, appearing on several American networks.

They recently traveled to The Bahamas to meet with detectives, and as Casey’s mom told reporters yesterday, they are not happy.

Seymore was referring to a press conference held at CID headquarters back on June 26th, where police gave an update on the investigation.

Meanwhile, Casey’s family insists they won’t rest until Taylor is found.
