A 21-year-old woman from Texas has made headlines after leaving her home under troubling circumstances and resurfacing in the most unexpected location—a forest in Scotland. Kaura Taylor vanished on May 25, along with her one-year-old daughter, seeking refuge from what she described as a history of abuse in her family. Her journey led her to the Kingdom of Kubala, where she now lives with a leader of a so-called ‘lost African tribe,’ King Atehene, and his wife, Queen Nand.
According to reports, Taylor has adopted the name Asnat, Lady Safi, and serves as the handmaiden and second wife to King Atehene. This man, originally named Kofi Offeh, took on a new identity after reportedly working as a PR agent and opera singer in Ghana. His wife, formerly known as Jean Gasho, now shares this unusual lifestyle with her husband and Taylor. Photos shared online show the trio dressed in traditional robes, performing rituals and dancing around a campfire.
As strange as it sounds, the couple claims to be reviving what they believe is a Hebrew tribe. Taylor’s story raises eyebrows, especially considering the involvement of a young child in such a setting. Taylor flew to the UK on a six-month tourist visa, and her family expressed deep concerns for her safety and wellbeing. “It breaks our hearts,” said her aunt Teri Allen, who alleges the family is in distress, claiming Taylor is unaware of their concerns. “She doesn’t think anyone is concerned about her.”
Taylor shared an emotional post stating that she had escaped an abusive environment. “Yes, I’m very happy with my King and Queen,” she insisted on Facebook. “I fled a very abusive, toxic family who abused me sexually since I was a child! So you don’t go ‘missing’ to your abusers.” Such assertions have been met with skepticism by relatives. They challenge Taylor’s account, describing her upbringing as “very sheltered and protected.”
Two of Taylor’s aunts have spoken out, painting a picture starkly different from her tale of abuse. Vandora Skinner shared her thoughts, noting, “She went missing in May. But she wasn’t missing at all; she left to go live with these people.” Skinner characterized Taylor as “very, very unruly” and “very disrespectful” during her teenage years but added that she had a stable home life. “I allowed her boyfriends to come over, but maybe I shouldn’t have,” she reflected.
Taylor left a message to her family before disappearing, stating she and her daughter “had to get out and explore a little bit.” The family, now grappling with this situation, hopes she will return once her visa expires. Meanwhile, the story evokes a deep concern for her and her daughter’s safety in a scenario that appears to border on the bizarre. As the details unfold, questions continue to emerge regarding Taylor’s choices and the reality of the life she has embraced.
