Law enforcement have closed off Churchill Heights to only residents and investigators as they continue to search for 6-yr-old Faye Swetlik. Officials say search still concentrated to neighborhood and surrounding area. #PrayforFaye @wis10

I think that was reported in error earlier. Latest FBI poster says June 13- not Feb 13. @PommyMommy - do you remember where the Feb birthday info came from? Not sure.

The latest missing person poster from the FBI in the disappearance of Faye Swetlik.

1:15 PM - 12 Feb 2020

New poster by FBI indicates Faye is lactose intolerant and has a speech impediment (congenital condition - tethered tongue).

Noticed the FBI poster also states:

Date(s) of birth used: June 13, 2013

Perhaps the actual birthdate has not been officially confirmed.

Yes, it was on the Cayce Dept of Public Safety flyer but I think the June date the FBI is using is accurate. MOO

A Midlands church an hour away from Cayce has announced a prayer vigil for #FayeSwetlik tomorrow. Pastor Cotton says he has grandchildren, and can’t imagine the pain Faye’s family is experiencing. Details at 11 on @WLTX

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — One local business owner is hoping to find missing 6-year-old Faye Swetlik after the child and her grandmother helped her just a year ago.

Rachel Hames lost her dog a year ago, and Switlek and her grandmother helped her search until the dog was found.

I wonder what that map is- county planning department maybe? If so, I wish we had the color key. Guessing it differentiates zoning & residential density. Faye’s area is in a dark blue zone. Residential higher density maybe. Adjacent to pink commercial or mixed industrial zones? It’d be nice to understand the zoning in the expanded search areas.

All I keep thinking about is this little baby. She’s 6 years old. Hasn’t been home in 2 days. Someone knows something. @FOX46News #FayeSwetlik #SouthCarolina

Long shot but not reality...Could she be hiding somewhere after running away? MOO

Zoning colors are likely related to density. How many single family homes are allowed per acre or how many apartment homes are allowed per acre. The county website's GIS map would have a legend - if it's online. Sometimes it's a flood zone color map too.

IMO very young to be a runaway, especially for this long.

The deployment of police K-9 teams continue to be a valuable tool in the search for #FayeSwetlik and the Cayce DPS, @LCSD_News, @ColumbiaPDSC and the State Law Enforcement Division have all been involved in multiple searches, both day and night, throughout the past two days.

We wish it were so. But what if she got into something and is stuck but ok? Wishful thinking too I guess.

 

[PommyMommy]

Has anyone seen blood hounds? I think they would be awesome. Wish they would to see if they could pick up her scent anywhere, especially if LE are focused on the neighborhood, woods nearby.

I think Fitsnews reported there were bloodhounds but I don't know how reliable that is. MOO

Have there been any interviews with neighbors, perhaps parents of other children that Faye played with outside on other occasions?
Faye does not have any siblings?

Yes, search "neighbor" or "neighbors" in the media thread. There have been several.

SC - Faye Marie Swetlik, 6, Cayce, 10 Feb 2020*Media maps timeline no discussion

Do we know who (if anyone) met her at the bus stop? And I keep reading that she was last seen at 3:45 pm; who was it that saw her? She was reported to police as missing at 5:00 pm, but what time was she first noticed as missing?

TYVMIA to anyone willing and able to answer any of my questions. I don’t have time to read through every page right now, but would like to have a handle of the basics.

Her mother met her at the bus stop as witnessed by the neighbor. MOO
