My deepest sympathies to Faye's family. This is such sad news. I hoped this wouldn't be the outcome. LE did their jobs to the full extent. I was nothing but impressed with how quickly and thoroughly they responded. My sympathies to them as well. This has to be hard for them too.

The body of Faye Swetlik (pictured) has been found in her South Carolina neighborhood

The bereaved grandmother of Faye Swetlik shared a video showing the six-year-old singing ‘You Are My Sunshine’ just hours after authorities in South Carolina confirmed that she was found dead.

The body of Swetlik, who has been missing since Monday afternoon, was found in her South Carolina neighborhood on Thursday, the same day investigators said the body of an unidentified man was located nearby.

'It's with extremely heavy hearts that we announce we have found the body,' Director of Public Safety for Cayce, Byron Snellgrove said through tears at a Thursday news conference where he spoke for only about a minute and took no questions.
