The suspected slaying of 6-year-old Faye Swetlik in South Carolina is 'linked' to a 30-year-old male neighbor who was found dead shortly after her body was discovered, authorities say.
Faye was last seen around 3:45 p.m. Monday afternoon playing outside her family's home in the Churchill Heights neighborhood of Cayce. Her mother called 911 about an hour later.
"As part of that search we located a critical item of evidence related to our investigation," Antley said."Based on that discovery, we narrowed down an area that we felt, as an investigative team, that we needed to go back to." It was the city's director of public safety, Byron Snellgrove, who made the grim discovery of the girl's body in a wooded area of Churchill Heights, at about 11 a.m. on Thursday, officials said.
During their search for the girl, police had interviewed Taylor, who had no known criminal history, and had even been inside the man's home, police said.
