Jeepers WSis lagging and my responses are coming out all wonky LOL

I don’t. If they were found in a house as rumors suggest, then his ID should be obvious, right? Maybe they are trying to locate family before announcing? Or maybe he had nothing to do with Faye’s death. I just want to know WHO he is... I can’t investigate until I have a name.

I've also wondered if she was in fact found in one of the townhouse units, was it vacant? Or did someone live there, the dead man? I'm waiting for more information. I have so many questions.

If LEO knows who the “deceased male” is... I would imagine that someone if not several residents would already be posting his ID on social media, but they aren’t. Why? Several neighbors have been giving interviews.
I am skeptic, still not sure that “deceased male” is involved. I think neighbors would be crucifying him if he lived nearby, thanking God he hadn’t hurt one of their children.

Investigators recover body of 6-year-old missing S.C. girl, male
[...]

Late Thursday afternoon, Lexington County School District 2 released a statement on Swetlik's death:

We are heart-broken with news of the death of Faye Swetlik, a first-grade student at Springdale Elementary, who went missing earlier this week. When the school community experiences a tragedy like the loss of a child, it deeply affects all of us.

Below please find information we sent to our families this afternoon. We will not have further public comment or interviews in coming days, as we focus on supporting our Springdale students, faculty and staff.

We thank all of the law enforcement agencies that have worked tirelessly this week to bring Faye home. As this investigation is ongoing, we ask anyone who might have information that would help law enforcement to call the hotline at 803-205-4444.

Just read on Dailymail that the police towed 2 cars from her home..Missed that in the news conference

Refer to the Timeline thread. The cars were towed early on. Not today. Moo

My thinking is slightly different. I think this will follow the usual pattern, and Faye was murdered within hours of her abduction.

I think the killer likely wanted to dump the body, but was unable to with law enforcement swarming the neighborhood.

So I think she’s been dead for a couple days, and this guy killed himself more recently, as he realized law enforcement was likely to find her body in his house.

Anything is possible though, obviously.

I agree, and statistics back that up. MOO

Do we know the answers to these questions yet?
Sexual Offenders near her home?
How far was she found awaY?

And as high as those odds are, I think they’re higher here.

This little girl was still in her neighborhood, with law enforcement crawling all over. Even if she wasn’t dead before they arrived, I don’t see too many people taking the chance of concealing a living child.

I’d be stunned if she was alive for any significant length of time.

I am a native South Carolinian. I really object about the total attack of a sleepy little town like Cayce. Cayce has about 14,000 people with an average income of $50,000. Hard to tell where Cayce and West Columbia come together. But they are both suburbs of Columbia. I know a lot of GOOD people from that area. Those policemen handled this in a very professional and dignified manner and involved SLED. They worked tirelessly to find her. To slam this community and then the State of SC is shameful.

I am so impressed in the way LE and the community addressed the missing and search for Little Faye. Many communities, especially other LE departments could learn from this example on how to search. I love the fact that vehicles were towed, houses were searched and researched the subdivision. I imagine that it’s particularly painful for the family when LE begins the investigation from ground zero and moves outwards. It is the best tactic.
I think back to Mighty Mick (Mickey Schnuck) who was murdered in Lafayette LA. Mickey’s family established a method for obtaining media attention, both social media and the press. There was no bashing of friends, family, LE, and the murderer. Sorry for the rant.

 

[NuttMegg]

Are they interviewing father? What news station or reporter? Link please?

i didn't say any of that so I can't provide a link.

 

[modesty blaise]

How terrible! Rip little faye.

 

[Irmese]

How absolutely horrible.

I believe LE did an amazing job from the start and they were relentless. It is apparent that they are as upset as the rest of us.

Now this is pure speculation on my part. During this mornings presser, it was said that they knocked on every door in the neighborhood. If they weren’t able to talk to the residents of a house, they were sending officers out every few hours to those houses to try to connect with those residents. WHAT IF, Faye was inside one of those houses and the pressure got to her captor leading him to take his own life. Initially I thought she was found outdoors; however, now I believe it was inside somewhere because they are stating there’s a tremendous amount of evidence to process. Again, this is pure speculation.[/QUOTE]

Yes, that was what I was thinking about, too. Maybe there is some evidence in the woods, possibly a grave he had dug, or some of her clothing, but I think with the warm weather this week, she would have been found sooner if she was outside. Also, LE, might have put up the crime scene tape in back of the NAPA and kept NAPA employees away just to give them a big area in back of the houses where press and public could not come through the woods to tape/see, IOW, maybe there wasn't any evidence in the woods. Pure speculation. We will see.

Interesting that Faye's autopsy will be performed at MUSC in Charleston. Still leaving no stone unturned, I'm guessing. JMOO

Lexington County Coroner's Office

Faye’s body was found in the Churchill Heights neighborhood where she resided and was last seen playing outside on the afternoon of February 10, 2020. According to Coroner Fisher, an autopsy will be conducted on February 15, 2020 at MUSC in Charleston.

They may have been asked not to speak to the press.

 

[Podengo]

I don’t think they would have mentioned the male body during the press conference if they didn’t think it was related. Maybe they did it to allow people there to relax and/or not suspect and attack each other.

Agreed.

IMO, whatever motivated the person to take the child, they want to get it done. The world is so cruel sometimes.

 

[whiselen]

I still



dont quite understand what the relevance of having the tow cars towed is toward the case.... Its going to be interesting to find out why they were towed, and if anything was found?

They explained why in the press conference when they announced they found her body.

 

[Seattle1]

I don’t. If they were found in a house as rumors suggest, then his ID should be obvious, right? Maybe they are trying to locate family before announcing? Or maybe he had nothing to do with Faye’s death. I just want to know WHO he is... I can’t investigate until I have a name.

In these type of deaths, decedents official identification will be by the coroner and requires more than Id found inside his home. I don’t think it will be long before we learn the male’s name from coroner.

 

[carmenugt]

I can't find the address of her home. I wanted to check the offenders in the area. Anyone have it
