Found Deceased SC - Celia Sweeney, 28, Charleston, Feb 2020 *arrest*

And if the bullet casing was at her apartment, then why take them to another house. why not just leave them two there. Very odd

Presumably into Buddy's head. I'm sorry for the bluntness; I just can't think of a nicer way to say it.

ETA: The best unifying explanation I can think up is that maybe the police think Buddy killed Celia and then shot himself. Some time later, Walton and Celia's supposed best friend came upon the scene and removed the gun.
That would explain why it wasn't called a murder-suicide right off the bat, and it would also explain the accessory charges.

The "murder-suicide" was an assumption made by the public who do not possess a sleuthlike-mindset as many of us here. It was never in any report or news article. It was something that I picked up on right away as did many others which has led many of us here...the only place to get the latest on this case.

My guess would be so they could make it look like a kidnapping, murder suicide to blame it all on Buddy when he was more than likely as much of a victim as she was.

Welcome to WS Passypass4 & Kitty Katty! None o my beeswax, but are y’all local?

Buddy is being named by LE as a POI in MSM.

I don't think I've ever seen a case where someone has been charged as an accessory after the fact to a dead POI. This case makes my head spin.

So, rough timeline here:

Late Thursday eve/early Friday morning: Sweeney brings Carr and 2 friends to a bar to get them out of her house. Carr was visibly intoxicated and the bartender refused to serve him. Sweeney left the bar by herself and appeared sober.

Friday: During a welfare check, police found a significant amount of blood throughout Sweeney’s Charleston apartment and signs of a struggle as well as a single gun cartridge casing in the living room of the apartment.

Monday: Sweeney's body found in Carr’s Inman home which is more than 200 miles away from where Sweeney was last seen.

So, if Carr was involved in her murder, he would have had to get back to Sweeney's apartment from the bar sometime on Friday and then get to his own home over 200 miles away.

And now another man has been arrested as an accessory to the murder.

I'm so confused!!!

Local? Not to that area . I have been following everything online, weeding out crazy stuff to try and piece together stuff. Just to make sense of it. I worked with Buddy in the Marine Corps and trying just see where this is going. I look alot of stuff up and can work Google pretty well.

yes...upstate SC. Met Buddy through a friend of a friend...he had turned his life completely around...was really trying to distance himself from trouble. He was not a bad person from what I witnessed.

Perplexed. I think Walton has more to do with this and Buddy was killed because he knew too much. Buddy isn't here to tell his side of the story. Why the casing in Charleston? I think it was made to look like a murder suicide.

 

[Veragold]

And still no official statement on Carr's autopsy. Just stated in the article "apparent self inflicted gunshot wound".

Something isnt sitting right.

Affidavit: Celia Sweeney was killed in Charleston, transported to Spartanburg County

From the article:

[...]

According to the affidavit, witnesses told detectives they saw an unknown person driving Sweeney’s Audi S5, and saw the vehicle pull into the parking lot of the apartment complex the evening of February 28th, about four hours after Sweeney’s last known communication.

They said the Audi was followed by a large 4-door pick-up truck, which quickly pulled into the parking lot, picked up the driver of the Audi, and exited the parking lot.

CPD identified the owner of the truck as Buddy Allen Carr, who they identified as a person of interest in the case.

[...]

A search warrant was obtained and executed for Carr’s residence. During the search, detectives located Carr dead inside the home with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

They also found a large black “Husky” container on the wood line of the property, about 20 yards away from the truck.

A search of that container revealed the body of Celia Sweeney.

[...]

Detectives also located latex gloves, concrete bags and camouflage nylon straps inside the pick-up truck.

A receipt from Home Depot was also located inside the residence, which revealed the purchase of various cleaning materials, latex gloves, and multiple bags of concrete. The purchase was made on 2/28 at the Charleston location. The debit card used to buy the items belonged to Carr, according to detectives.

[...]

According to the report, Walton accompanied Carr to purchase the items used to try and conceal Sweeney’s death.

In court, Celia's mother tells the defendant that Celia trusted Carr because he was a friend of his.

"You chose to leave him alone with her."

 

[passypass4]

Blown away he was able to drive if he was that heavily intoxicated. What was the reason for him to do this though. He isn't a cold blooded killer. no idea . I'm at a loss for words

 

[evilwise]

Regarding the shell casing, there's one basic reason a person fires a single round - to make a point. That point might be "this defenseless person is now dead" but just because there's a casing doesn't necessarily mean someone was shot.

Rough hypothetical scenario - Walton beats Sweeney critically in front of Carr, pistol whips perhaps. At some point it crosses a line and Carr shows signs of intervening. Walton fires one off into the ceiling to frighten Carr into submission, orders him to drive the three of them to his house where he then shoots Carr and attempts to fabricate a murder-suicide scene. He would have needed a ride back to Charleston though?

Another - Reverse Carr and Walton's roles. Walton heroically kills Carr but tragically it was too late to save Sweeney and then doesn't alert the authorities and fakes concern during the search for... uh... reasons?

We'll see what Walton's official story is eventually. Stay tuned.
