No-one here is defending the mindset of a killer. From what I could tell the OP was simply stating the fact that killers can experience emotions like any other human. And yes, it is possible for them to feel guilt.

In fact investigators can often tell things about the relationship between the killer and victim from the method used or the way the body was discarded or positioned. For example, a child wrapped in their favorite blanket might indicate a close relationship.

Of course there are psychopaths who kill who have no ability to feel empathy towards their victims. I think the point was we can't just clump all killers into one category. The human mind is complex. Killers do have the ability to feel and can actually feel very strong emotion towards their victims. This is common in many intimate- partner homicides.

Even in this case there may be clues for investigators that indicate the relationship or motive behind the murder.

There were a few posts that had a defensive element and compassion for someone who would do this to a child. I am not the only one who noticed.

I never brought up the ability or inability to feel emotions. I was and still am talking about this case and those predators who kidnap, most likely assault and murder children and the position that they are monsters. When someone posted about the perp murdering Faye because he was concerned about her re-living the trauma of his possible sexual assault, it really rubbed me the wrong way.

I agree that we definitely can't clump all killers together. But we aren't talking about all types of killers. And we aren't discussing a case about an intimate-partner homicide. We are talking about whoever did this to little Faye. JMO

Stating that "not all killers are monsters" does not necessarily indicate a defensive element or compassion towards a killer. I read the posts and did not see any indication of that.

If you were not talking about the ability to feel empathy or emotions, then I'm not sure why you would say he is a "monster." I thought that was the part you were not agreeing with.

I just don't think it's fair to call out a particular poster and accuse them of having "compassion" for a child murderer. IIRC, the OP is an anthropologist, so it's not likely their purpose was to "defend" the killer.

This seems to be an exercise in futility.

My heart breaks for Faye, her loved ones, especially her mother. Their lives have been torn apart and will never be the same due to the actions of this depraved monster. I continue to lift them in prayer.
 
I know many have wondered if South Carolina allows the public to learn the results of an autopsy.

"The coroner’s office scheduled an autopsy to determine Taylor’s cause of death for Saturday, and the results will be made public when completed, Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher said."

Correct for CT however results for a minor are not publicly available so its up to Faye's family to reveal her cause of death and/or other details. Honestly if she was my daughter I wouldn't want the public knowing how my angel died.

I was thinking today how Faye was her mother's only child. Imagine having one child and then having them pass away. You spend six year raising her and then she's gone. This is so tragic and I wouldn't know how to continue on with life honestly. I dont know how people do it.

Minors are in a different category. But we already know it was a homicide for Faye. That's all we need to know.

mom of an 8 year old here. My husband and I were just discussing this, this morning. Haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for days. We both said we would not be able to move on with life if this was us. I can’t imagine her mother’s pain. I shouldn’t have listened to the 911 call but then again maybe I needed to. I dunno. But I wish I could hold the mother. And for all those that branded the mother a killer. They outta be ashamed of themselves.

Piece of evidence that helped find body of 6-year-old was linked to man also found dead, police say
Faye Swetlik found dead near her home, authorities say

The "critical" piece of evidence that helped authorities find the body of a missing 6-year-old in Cayce, South Carolina was found in a trash can that belonged to the man also found dead in the neighborhood, Sgt. Evan Antley, with the Cayce Public Safety Department, said Friday.


Antley said the cases are linked, but would not go into detail. He did say the evidence that led them to Faye's body was found in a trash can that belonged to Taylor. He would not say what that evidence was, but said it was something that would have been listed on the missing person's flyer.

Antley said Taylor has no criminal history and was not known to law enforcement officers.

"He was not a relative, he was not a friend, he was merely a neighbor that lived in Churchill Heights," Antley said.

Antley said investigators had talked to Taylor and had been inside his home after Faye was reported missing.

Update on 6-year-old Faye Swetlik who was found dead Thursday
 
No. I think this event was just a spur of the moment and urges were being fought for a long time. JMO

I wouldnt be surprised if the murderer of little Faye had kiddie *advertiser censored* on his communication devices.

The link I provided earlier concerning 775 cases of child abduction, and murders stated LE is seeing more *advertiser censored* possession by the offenders than in past studies.

Usually these kind of pedophile murderers (and yes, imo, this is the motive in Faye's murder) have long fantasized about sexually assaulting a child. If the offender turns out to live close by he most likely had been surveilling Faye for some time..maybe even taking videos or photos of her with his phone.

I don't think he did this without any premeditation. I think he had been thinking of doing it for some time, and like all these kind of offenders do... he seized on the opportunity when it presented itself when he saw her playing in her own yard.

It wont surprise me either if he was known as a loner or that the neighbors who knew him thought he was a nice guy. They are very crafty in hiding what is really in their sick deviant minds.

As far as him possibly killing himself, imo, he did not do so out of guilt. He took the cowardly way out rather than all of the facts becoming known at trial about what all he made a little tiny girl endure before he murdered her.

Imo, if the offender was able to possess compassion, and empathy he couldn't have kidnapped Faye, defiled her, imo, nor would he be able to look into her sweet face, and murder her.

Imo, it takes the coldest of cold souls to do this to a very innocent terrified child. Imo, he enjoyed the power he had over her.

If it's a suicide which I believe will be the case, he knew they were closing in, and he was going to be exposed as one of the worst of the worst in our society.

He knew it was just a matter of time so he had to control even how his life ended. At least he knew he wouldnt be strapped to a gurney someday, hated just as much then as the day he knew he would be exposed to all as the suspect. He also knew he would be a target when he went to prison.

So while he was strong minded enough, and physically capable to kidnap a small defenseless child..then brutalizing her imo, but he was a coward of what was to come for HIM afterwards.

He knew it wasn't going to be good, and he knew he wouldnt have any control anymore over anyone, most especially himself so he conveniently offed himself rather than facing the truth he knew was coming.
