On October 30th 2011, 44 year-old Karen Swift’s car was found abandoned on the side of rural highway in Northern Dyer County, Tennessee. The mother of four was last seen at her home the night before when she put her 9 year-old daughter to bed. When the kids awoke the next morning their mother was gone. To the frustration of investigators, there was very little indication of what may have happened to Karen; though they suspected early-on that they were dealing with a homicide.
