I was correct about my prediction of which direction to look for Karen. I'm wondering now if Karen's cell phone was found with her. We know the phone last pinged in the same general area as where the body was found, assuming this is Karen's body. Which I'm almost positive it will be. LE said the phone's last known location was near a river. They also searched the river very close by near Hwy 78 with no luck. Looking at the maps Otto posted the spot where her body was found and the river are no more than a quarter mile away as the crow fly's.

Since the phone was known to be still on at 5:00 AM when the phone automatically connected to the internet and then turned off moments later, I'm assuming the phone was not thrown into the river, but the battery went dead. The likely hood of the internet connection happening just moments before the perp through the phone into the river are highly against the odd.

Hopefully the phone was found. I think much information could be learned from the phone if it was found.


One other thing. The Google Earth Maps are not current or updated to the minute. They are the latest aerial photographs for that location. They are not satellite photos or video. If I fly to the location of my house (enter your address in the search box) there are several homes NOT shown on the map in the subdivision I live in, that have been built in the past two years. SO I don't think the map you were seeing of the cemetery is current or showing anyone searching for Karen.

Has it been confirmed in the media that the body found is that of Karen Swift? So far what I have read is that they have to do an autopsy of the body to determine if it is Karen.

Haven't seen it confirmed yet.

Just the comment on FB stating LE told her mother that the body was Karen.

Thanks.

I know the Facebook page "find.karen.swift" is not by the family as this person starts missing Facebook pages all the time.

Not sure who is behind the "Karen Swift Missing Mom of 4" Facebook page.

Hopefully the media will confirm the identity of the person soon.

Dental records dont take any time for comparisons, so if they have complete sets from both the Doe and Karen, they should know by now.

As soon as we get confirmation, we can move the thread.

Hard to know what to wish for here.

Well, even though it's what we all expected, it still hurts. Now the focus can turn to making sure her killer is caught.

Those poor kids .. now we'll hear of funeral arrangements and memorial services .. so sad.

RIP Karen.

RIP Karen. We figured this would be the outcome, but it does bring some comfort to know your friends and family can offer you a proper burial and a proper good bye before the holidays. I know their Christmas certainly will not be the same, but I pray they find peace that you are shining down on them from up above. My prayers are with her friends and family, and most importantly, her children.

From the WREG (Memphis) site:

http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-swift-body,0,6984429.story

"Swift's car was found several days after her disappearance with two tires apparently slashed."

I would imagine they can easily determine if the tires were slashed where the car was parked, or if they were slashed at another location and then the car driven to that location.

I would venture to guess you aren't going to go that far with 2 slashed tires, even as close as she was from her home. If she did try, she would have done tremendous damage to the wheels, right?

:rose: R.I.P. Karen

Your story touched my life and now broke my heart. May your family find peace in knowing that you are not suffering out there; and may they find peace with each other as they begin to deal with your loss.

The body has been identified to be that of Karen Swift. Don't know which link to post that is most acceptable. But here is one. How very sad for her family.
