Karen Swift’s Murder case: Body found near her house
December 14th, 2011 - 7:53 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattTennessee, Dec 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The body of Karen Swift has been found near a private cemetery just a mile away from her home. The 44-year-old mother of four was last seen by her husband leaving the family home. A search for her yielded her SUV which was parked less than a mile from her home with a flat tire.
Police have not ruled out anybody as a suspect after a member of the public chanced on the body hidden under bushes at the cemetery. Officers have commenced investigation into the case and have asked the public to volunteer information which will lead to the suspect being apprehended.
An officer told reporters that, “There were some apparent injuries to the body. We’re going to wait to let the medical examiner’s final report tell us the extent of those injuries…At this time we haven’t named any suspects and you won’t see us name suspects until we’re sure it’s going to be beneficial to the investigation.”
The autopsy report is expected to be ready in two weeks. Karen is the mother of four children – two boys and two girls. After her disappearance, her family told reporters that the children have been left devastated.
Police say Karen and her husband were in the process of getting divorced. Investigators say the husband is cooperating with the investigation.
