Found Deceased SC - Faye Marie Swetlik, 6, Cayce, 10 Feb 2020 #4

[Recidivist]

So everyone freaks out when a young child has dyed hair but its okay when they have pierced ears, painted finger nails and painted toe nails.

I don't think anyone freaked out. As I recall, someone simply commented on the little girls hair color and was curious about it. Not really a freak out thing.

If the perp had his time over again makes me wonder if he'd go through with whatever he did knowing he'd take his life a few days later. Was it worth it? (hypothetical assuming CT was the perp)

Planting evidence is common. Look it up. The only connection linking CT to the crime scene is evidence found in CT's trash container. Until MSN reports more factual news, I can only speculate. Is there any surveillance video showing someone putting something into CT's trash receptacle? Any surveillance or dash cam videos of CT's movements? Still no suspect named. JMO
"Antley said police found “critical evidence” in the trash container outside Taylor’s home connected to Faye’s disappearance.

Moments later, Antley said Cayce police Chief Byron Snellgrove found Faye’s body in a wooded area between the child’s home and an auto parts store in Cayce.

Coroner Margaret Fisher does not believe the girl’s body had been in the woods for long.

Shortly after finding the girl’s body, police said they found Taylor dead in his home.
Investigators have not yet said how either person died."

There were some on a FB group I cant name who were using every excuse in the book to blame the mother and the dyed hair was one of the more popular excuses to rip into her unfortunately.

I am curious if the police have been able to contact the family of Coty Taylor yet? I am curious to know more about his family and upbringing which will probably be quite some time before we find out additional information. From what we do know, education wise, he was to 10 percent of class, very involved in school, seemed like ideal student. So I would like to guess based on that, he upbringing must to somewhat stable.

We must remember, even though this individual may have done this terrible disgusting act, he still has a family and siblings, people who have absolutely zero to do with the crime and now they become victims themselves with media and society judging the way they raised their children.

They know. His younger sister has posted, and i feel very sorry for her. She's a child and people are attacking her.

I wish I wasn't halfway around the world. I'd be there.

A cousin of his is posting on twitter sticking up for him insisting there is more to the story.

 

[amateuragent]

Ugh. I always wondered how family could even go on camera in a situation like this. I don’t know that I could... maybe that’s the situation with her mother. What a nightmare!

Agree. Its a no win situation in most cases to appear before the media. How many bogus interviews and pleads for safe returns have we seen? Only to discover that same person to be responsible for a terrible crime against a loved one?

The only time LE might suggest a family to make a statement is if they have a profile of the perp and might have an idea of how they think, their motives, how to appeal to them, etc. or if they have been in contact with the perp directly.

Agree! And also the judgement that this mother is already living with - and will because there are so many people holier than thou who think if you dye your child’s hair you are a terrible mother - is a lot to bear as well. She already has her own feelings about her guilt - not that I think she’s done anything wrong - which anybody in that situation would. I’m sure she’s in unbearable emotional pain.

So everyone freaks out when a young child has dyed hair but its okay when they have pierced ears, painted finger nails and painted toe nails.

And had it been around Halloween on Oct 3st or Nov 1st, no one would have said a thing. Wash out dyes are very common, kids peel off nail polish, etc. It was surprising the number of people that picked up this one little thing and blew it out of proportion. Children do what they see of course.

Yikes.

Again, people are ruled by emotions, not logic. Now the ones who are angry with the perpetrator CT and his sick actions directed toward Faye, will turn and become perps themselves in a way because they are misdirecting their anger and harassing a child just because she is related to CT. Now this child is going to go through trauma not only because her brother is dead, but also because he is a suspect in a child murder and she herself is a child.

Tried to get as updated as I can but I can't seem to find the latest on today's news conference (if there is one). Anyone have a time and/or link to it?

I'm glad her mom let her dye her hair. I bet Faye loved having her hair dyed.

The massive search for Faye Swetlik ends near where it began — steps from her home
[...]

On Friday afternoon, Faye’s missing person flyer still hung in the doors of a few of Cayce’s gas stations. ...

[...]

It’s a close-knit type of town, said FM. A family-type of place.

[...]

On Tuesday morning, he removed the block lettering of his business sign. It said something about cold weather and antifreeze, but none of that didn’t matter anymore.

“Pray for Faye,” it now says on one side. His wife, Donna, wrote “God Bless Faye!” on the other.

It was a small thing, he knows. Just 24 letters.

But as he rearranged the letters, he thought that maybe, just maybe, the family would drive by and find some comfort on the sign. A moment of relief might help, he thought, and it’s all that he could do.

[...]

TD didn’t know Faye’s name until Monday evening, but she knew her face.

She said the always-smiling girl sat at her Waffle House counter on Saturday mornings. Her order was a waffle, no syrup. She dipped pieces into butter instead.

Faye was at that Waffle House on Saturday, TD said. It is so close to her house that she could have walked there.

They talked about how Faye’s next stop was a music shop. She was going to buy her cousin new guitar strings for his birthday.

[...]

When TD finished her shift Friday afternoon, she decided to do something for Faye. She worried that it might be corny or silly or too small to matter. That worry faded in a moment.

She packed up a waffle for her. She placed it next to a unicorn stuffed animal at the Churchill Heights memorial.

TD would drive home next. Her two boys, 10 and 8, would be back from school soon.

[...]

It was a sunny, warm Friday afternoon. They would want to play in their back yard, she was sure of it. Maybe they’d want to ride their bikes.

She would sit outside with them, no matter what they wanted to do. She would keep them in her sight.

She would never be more than just steps away.
