FAMILY IN 'LIVING HELL' AS CALIFORNIA TEACHER VANISHES FROM YOGA RETREAT: WHERE'S NANCY?

Nancy Ng's family pleads for answers after the 29-year-old teacher’s aide disappears while on a yoga retreat in Guatemala. After she disappeared, members of the group allegedly made plans to quickly depart the country, leaving her relatives seeking closure. Nancy Ng is last seen in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala on October 19, 2023. She disappears during a kayak excursion while on a week-long yoga retreat.

On October 14, 2023, Nancy Ng left the US to embark on a week-long yoga retreat in Guatemala. She had been a yoga enthusiast for about four years and her trip to the “Be the Change” yoga retreat was her second in two years. Around 10:30 am on October 19, 2023, Nancy goes for a kayak excursion with a group of ten participants on Lake Atitlán, known as the deepest lake in Central America and is last seen by a participant named Christina Blazek when the two bump into each other in the middle of the lake. They chat for a moment and Nancy says she wants to go for a swim. Christina Blazek says she cautions against the idea to swim because of rough waters, but Nancy jumps into the water anyway.

Blazek, who spoke through her attorney, G. Christopher Gardner, denies rumors she has not been willing to help police with the investigation. Christina Blazek, a San Bernadino County public defender, has been named as the last known witness to see Nancy. While out on the water, Blazek says, through her attorney, that Nancy decides she wants to go swimming. Blazek allegedly tries to stop Nancy from entering the water “because it was rough and there was a strong current, according to his client’s account, Nancy ignores her alleged warnings and goes into the water. Blazek claims she tries to retrieve Ng’s kayak after it starts rapidly floating away by keeping one leg in her boat and another leg in the other kayak and got close to the swimmer to push it back to her.

Guatemalan authorities believe Ng drowned in a local lake, but her family still wants more answers as to what happened the day Nancy left to Kayak and never returned.
