Found Deceased NC - Summer Swindell, 22, Havelock, 28 April 2015 *Arrest*

That's what I wonder too after watching that.

Would think there would have to be more than one person involved.....
Now that police are questioning neighbors I wonder if anyone recalls seeing anything odd around the time Summer went missing.

Off topic slightly, but I believe Jasmine Moody will some day be found under this same sort of scenario - in an abandoned house.

The pic of the woman crying that is posted a few postings up.... That picture breaks my heart.

Such a sad ending for those little kids. To lose mom & and dad.
I imagine the police had him in their sights from the get go as he gave enough of us an uneasy feeling on here from just looking at his posts and reading his story of how she disappeared. I'm sure in person he set off red flags like crazy.
All over what ? Being rejected or scorned, a possible move... what happened that night to make him snap? Did she reject an advance or tell him about the changes that perhaps were coming ?? Who knows...nothing that could justify killing her over, except to a sick twisted mind.
I am thousands of miles away, yet truly touched and saddened by this case.

My blood is boiling!! How can anyone be so vicious!! Those poor babies, I hope they are with Summers family.
Precious Summer Rest in Peace, I'm so sorry your babies are without you, I'm sure your family is past devastated. Fly high beautiful , I'm so sad for your family ,I cant imagine the pain they feel .
I gathered it was him from the beginning,but,I didn't want itto be, we wanted you to come home to your babies. Tears falling for your family and babies.

Look at the last pic on his fb, the baby with a shirt that says ' mommies garden angel" . Just a vicious, selfish, self centered sob, that just had to have it all or nothing. He had had to have those babies with him when he killed her, I believe he tried to get her back and it failed tragically. NO, NO, NO sense to any of it. Hope he's taken care of real quick in jail, he doesn't deserve to take another breath!!

I seen that photo earlier today. Almost like it's a private sick personal joke to him.

M. Balance had a lengthy criminal record and had gotten out of prison just 2 months before Summer disappeared.

.... the exact same time all of his FB posts started. What a record for someone so young! He is obviously very screwed up. Makes me wonder about his upbringing. He just threw it all away!!!

Wondering what the lead was. A cell phone ping that lead police to question people in that neighborhood? Someone else knew what happened and spoke up? Thank God those kids are young enough to still live a happy life. Makes me sick!!!!

I gathered it was him from the beginning,but,I didn't want itto be, we wanted you to come home to your babies.

I felt the same way, his story just didn't make any sense. My heart is broken for those babies and the rest of her family. RIP Summer.

Maybe they're recovering her through the roof so they don't tamper the crime scene too much, since the house is so thrashed...

RIP Summer Dawn!!

Good point...The part that really tears me up is that those poor little children were probably present through the entire thing: (

Does anyone know what non negligent manslaughter is, google isn't giving me anything with "non negligent"

Wiki definition

"Voluntary manslaughter is the killing of a human being in which the offender had no prior intent to kill and acted during "the heat of passion", under circumstances that would cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed. In the Uniform Crime Reports prepared by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it is referred to as non negligent manslaughter. Voluntary manslaughter is one of two main types of manslaughter, the other being involuntary manslaughter."

So same as voluntary manslaughter, am I reading that right?
