One of the things that would be helpful is understanding just how much of the money that was withdrawn is in cash and how much in cashier's checks. If the cashier's checks were not cashed the funds Taylor would have to work with would be limited to cash. If the cashier's checks were cashed it could be determined where that occurred - the bank and branch location - and when.
Carrying around significant amounts of cash is not an ideal situation. It is likely the money went into an account somewhere. It might take some time for a new account to appear in her name. The problem is that you can do a "blind" deposit into an account that is in another person's name. Any person at all really. It would be someone that Taylor would trust. Hence, part of my reasoning for asking about any friends (or relatives) that Taylor could go to no questions asked. Doing such a blind deposit would at best get her debit card access to the account if that other person gave them their debit card to that account and provided the transactions didn't trip the signature requirements then access to the funds are not impeded. She wouldn't be able to do any electronic transfers like direct deposits but she could deposit cash at an ATM or at a teller.
One thing that might be useful to look into is that the PI firm offers protection services as part of what they do. It is possible that there is a rented "safe house" (or more than one) somewhere.
