The statement goes on to say that Casey's room and personal items -- which included a bible, a teacher training coursebook, yoga practice materials and clothing -- appeared to be "largely unprocessed by local authorities."
I am surprised that LE didn’t collect the tent and Casey’s belongings for evidence or at least cordone it off. Even if they think it has no value to them or is undisturbed, there may be valuable signs or information they could only discover if they looked diligently. For example, some officers could still look through her Bible, sketchpad and other books to see if she has written any quick notes, such as an address, phone number, date, password or name that may indicate her destination or whereabouts on the night she disappeared.
Forensics may also want to evaluate her belongings just to see if hopefully anything useful could be detected. For example, have the police interviewed the man that spoke to Taylor and followed her back to the camp? Do they want to and or need help identifying him? It is possible he could have left something as basic as fingerprints if for example he looked through Taylor’s books, touched her tent, rifled through one of her cards or wrote his name or number somewhere using her pen. Perhaps trace evidence might be found on some of her clothes if, for example, he hugged her goodbye, ate a snack and left spit, crumbs or disposed-of garbage in her tent or from talking in close proximity to her. Perhaps there is a chance he left a footprint if not outside her tent perhaps inside of it.
If he explored any of the ashram’s area perhaps there may be fingerprints, footprints, saliva from used and disposed of plastic water bottles or some type of trace evidence there as well.

I was wondering if that would be possible too? In particular if her phone is already linked with an iPad she has left back at home maybe they can bring down to Paradise and see if they can access her most recent activity that way? Perhaps maybe even trace the phone’s whereabouts, even while in water, before it shut or powered off?
If one of her family members by chance has access to her regular email or a computer or iPad she regularly uses they cam access her phone’s most recent backups data or maybe the iCloud that way or in addition to this method use a new or unused available iPhone and try to use and upload it get her backed up data from Apple? Though it may seem convoluted, and it is, I had to do something similar for myself in terms of my iPhone, iPad and those of my older and younger family members.
