SUMMARY: Two corrections officers were booked and released on bond over the death of Marine veteran Anthony Johnson Junior at the Tarrant County Jail.

Taylor Casey update: Mother goes to Bahamas after daughter disappears, says visit was ‘deeply unsettling’
SUMMARY: The family of Taylor Casey, a 41-year-old Chicago woman missing in the Bahamas since June 19, is urging the U.S. government to provide more support. Casey vanished while at a yoga retreat. Her mother, Colette Seymore, found the visit to the retreat unsettling and reported that students seemed coached on what to say.
