How a missing woman ended up among a tribe 3000 miles away

  • Texas native Kaura Taylor, reported missing by her family, has been found living with a group called the Kingdom of Kubala in a forest near Jedburgh, Scotland.
  • Taylor, who now goes by Asnat, stated in a video message that she is not missing and is an adult, urging authorities to leave her alone.
  • The Kingdom of Kubala, led by King Atehene and Queen Nandi, claims to be a lost tribe of Hebrews seeking to reclaim land in Scotland, believing their ancestors were deported 400 years ago.
  • The group lives off-grid, following their own interpretation of divine law rather than local regulations, and has reportedly faced eviction notices and an attack where a tent was set on fire.
  • Scottish Borders Council is collaborating with Police Scotland to address the situation, offering the group advice on housing and support services.
