Neighbor abuducted, killed Faye Swetlik shortly after she went missing

Five days after a 6-year-old child Faye Suetlik was found dead in a wooded area not far from it Casey, South Carolina at home, officers answered several unanswered questions in the murder investigation.

On Tuesday afternoon, a press conference, an investigator from Lexington County Margaret Fisher said the cause of Swetlik ‘s death was suffocation, which means that the air supply is interrupted. She died within hours of disappearing, according to autopsy results. Faye’s body was not where it had been found for a long time, he said.

Until the medical examiner provided further details on the case, Casey’s director of public safety Byron Snellgrove said the police Coty Scott Taylor-30-year-old neighbor, whose body was found shortly after the discovery of Faye-kidnaps and kills Svetik alone.

Neither Snellgrove nor Fisher used Taylor’s name during the press conference. Fisher said he would only talk about Faye’s autopsy out of respect for his family.

Snelgrove said that shortly after he found Faye’s body around 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, neighbors alerted police to a man bleeding on the back porch in 602 Piccadilly Circus.

When officers arrived, Taylor was found dead. Law enforcement officials told FITSNews on Saturday that they were I believe Taylor committed suicide – which was confirmed on Tuesday. Autopsy results said Taylor, cutting his throat.

At the press conference, Snellgrove published more details about what led the officers to the two bodies.

As part of Faye’s search throughout the neighborhood, police closely monitored the neighborhood’s paramedics, who “methodically” searched the trash cans for evidence.

Inside Taylor’s trash can, police found a boot with dots that belonged to Faye and a soup ladle that had dirt in it. Snellgrove said he immediately warned search teams to scan the area around Taylor’s townhouse, which led him to the forest where Snellgrove found Faye.

Asked what he thought was important for the soup ladle, Snelgrove said he had a “premonition” that it was related to the case. He was right.

He said these agents did not see anything to worry about, nor did Taylor say anything to indicate that he was involved in the case.

When reviewing surveillance records in the area, Snelgrove said investigators “found Coty doing some things that were suspicious to us.” He did not specify what these “suspicious things” were.

Snelgrove said they still did not know where Faye’s body was between Monday and Thursday. He said he believed Taylor had moved her body to wooded areas “under cover of darkness” early Thursday morning.

Snelgrove said Taylor had a roommate.

“We were in contact with the roommate,” Snelgrove said. “We have nothing to show that he knew anything about what was happening and was not so much at the residence during that time (Swetlik is missing).”

At a previous news conference, Casey’s Evan Antley told the Department of Public Safety that Taylor was “not a friend” or a member of Faye’s family, but just a neighbor who lives in Churchill Heights, less than 150 feet from Faye’s home. He said Taylor had no criminal record and “was not known to law enforcement.”

According to him Facebook page, Coty Taylor graduated from Blufton High School Blufton, South Carolina. He briefly studied mathematics at the University of South Carolina at Columbia and worked as a manager at Jimmy John’s.

Before her body was discovered, Faye was last seen playing outside her home Londonderry Lane in Casey around 3:45 p.m. Monday. Casey’s Department of Public Safety officials said Faye was on the bus yesterday and arrived at her home “just like any other day.”

Faye’s mother called 911 around 5pm on Monday after learning her daughter was missing.

More than 250 employees from over 20 law enforcement agencies, including FBI and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), searched tirelessly throughout the Churchill Heights neighborhood for three days last week. Tracking dogs and helicopters were used in the search.

Police tracked 283 tracks during the investigation.

Snelgrove said every door to every Churchill Heights residence was knocked on and police returned to each house until all residents were interviewed.

Officials kept their search extremely limited in the course of their investigation – extending just beyond the 1 mile radius of Churchill Heights.

“I would like to thank every member of this community who called for advice, provided information and prayed for Faye and us,” Snelgrove said. “I assure you that every prayer has been felt and appreciated.

The investigation is ongoing.
