Oh. Just ran across this article dated 10/13/07. Swint and McCown were very close friends. So he would know or be able to find out where her ex lived and put the car there.

"He's been a suspect from the very beginning, maybe a month after she went missing," she said. "I hope they're wrong about him. It's hard to understand how anybody who's there to protect people could harm someone."
Richmond police Capt. Greg Pipes said Swint has refused to be interviewed about McCown's disappearance.

A native of Alabama, Swint joined the U.S. Marines and saw combat in Panama in 1989. He left the Marines the next year, and moved to Dayton, where he met Lisa, his wife of 15 years. They have one child. For a July feature story about his hiring in Trotwood, Swint of Harrison Twp. told the Dayton Daily News that he spends his free time volunteering at homeless shelters and boys and girls' clubs, and speaks at high schools about self-esteem. He could not be reached for comment Friday.
According to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Swint hired on at the Dayton prison in May 1994 as a corrections officer. He officially resigned effective Aug. 21. Prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Lyons said he was not under investigation by the department when he resigned.
McCown joined the prison staff in August 1994 as an account clerk in the business office and still worked there at the time of her disappearance.
Public records show Swint had several civil judgments against him for failing to pay his bills in the 1990s, and four traffic citations from 1995-2002, but no criminal history.

Hmmm. I hope justice comes swift and hard. I wonder if they'll be able to track his whereabouts when she went missing? It's so long ago.
