Male found dead with Faye Swetlik is Bluffton High graduate
Coty Scott Taylor, the 30-year-old male found deceased alongside Faye Swetlik's body Thursday, was a Bluffton High School graduate, according to Beaufort County School officials.

They confirmed that Taylor attended BHS from 2003 to 2007 with an "outstanding" academic career and no disciplinary issues.

The deceased man linked to death of 6-year-old Cayce girl was a Bluffton High graduate
[...]

After high school, Taylor enrolled at USCB in the fall and transferred to USC in Columbia the next year, USC spokesperson Jeff Stensland said in an email Friday.

He withdrew from USC in the spring of 2009, and there are no records of Taylor graduating from there, Stensland said.

Taylor later worked as a manager of a local Jimmy John’s restaurant until 2015, corporate officials from the company’s human resources office in Raleigh confirmed Friday. ...

[...]

Taylor lived on Sugaree Drive in the Windy Lake neighborhood of Bluffton and was an honors student at Bluffton High School, according to a records search and 2007 reports in The Island Packet.

In February 2007, he was part of the Bluffton High robotics team that finished second in an Orangeburg state competition with a robot named “Fear the Evil of Computer Love.”

[...]

During his senior year, Taylor was a member of the Model United Nations team and participated in Georgia Southern University’s 36th annual Model United Nation’s competition, the Packet reported in 2007.

Taylor graduated in the top 10 percent of his class, according to a Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce advertisement in The Island Packet congratulating him and other students from high schools on Hilton Head and in Bluffton.

If you think the case of missing 6-year-old Faye Swetlik sounds familiar, here’s why:

EQxRa2jWsAAaQSg.png


[...]

We have to go back nearly 40 years to another similar missing child case in Santa Claus.

Kathy Kohm was 11 years old when she vanished from her Christmas Lake Village home in Santa Claus, Indiana on April 5, 1981. It prompted a massive search and her remains were recovered two months later near an abandoned logging trail in a wooded area about a quarter mile from her home.

[...]

Years later, Gash had moved to Florida and authorities say he committed suicide as investigators were attempting get DNA evidence in the case. Kathy’s parents moved from Indiana to St. Louis.

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.

Friend of Faye Swetlik’s mother asks for public to stop spreading rumors
February 15, 2020 at 10:20 AM EST - Updated February 15 at 10:41 AM

Jenee Scott, who says she knows Faye’s mother, is having a hard time dealing with what she has heard from authorities this week.

She says she can’t believe that something like this could happen, especially to this family.

Scott says she has seen a lot of awful rumors and speculation on social media and asks that everyone give the family space to go through the grieving process.

“Everybody respect the family’s privacy as they work through this and sort everything out,” Scott said. “Just be sure to disregard any false information that’s not coming from the police department directly.”
