Community members said the need for prayers didn’t end when Faye Swetlik’s body was found Thursday.
Carol Motsinger and Elizabeth LaFleurGREENVILLE, S.C. – Faye Marie Swetlik may have never been far from home.Just steps from where the Cayce Department of Public Safety held some of its first press conferences. Just steps from where the community left plush teddy bears and bundles of red roses and shiny heart-shaped balloons for the six-year-old girl.Flowers and balloons piled up at the entrance of Faye Swetlik's neighborhood, Feb. 14, 2020.
For three days, investigators searched the rows of one-story homes with basketball hoops in the driveways and bicycles leaning in carports. They asked for any video from home security or doorbell cameras. They searched bags of trash. They asked the public to help identify a couple cars that were spotted on these streets around the time she disappeared Monday.
As investigators were in the planning stages of the renewed search, Cayce Department of Public Safety director Byron Snellgrove found Faye's body in a wooded area near Taylor's home. On Friday afternoon, Faye’s missing person flyer still hung in the doors of a few of Cayce’s gas stations. It’s a town of maybe 14,000 people, located just a few miles west of South Carolina’s capital city along the Congaree River.
But as he rearranged the letters, he thought that maybe, just maybe, the family would drive by and find some comfort on the sign. A moment of relief might help, he thought, and it’s all that he could do.
