UPDATE - Child Murder Case Resolved

The police have finally released details on the tragic murder of young Faye Swetlik.  Horrible thing, but at least there is a resolution.  Not much good for the family as of yet, I am sure, since nothing can bring hr back, but at least we can know the perpetrator won't harm anyone else.  The story:

Faye Swetlik's cause of death was asphyxiation, neighbor abducted and killed her, investigators say

Faye Swetlik, the 6-year-old girl who was found dead last Thursday in Cayce, S.C., after disappearing from her front yard three days earlier, was killed by her neighbor who acted as the "sole perpetrator," investigators said Tuesday.

Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher said the autopsy showed Swetlik's death was a homicide and the cause of her death was asphyxiation.

She also said Swetlik died just a few hours after the neighbor, 30-year-old Coty Taylor, abducted her. She later revealed that Taylor died by suicide.

"The loss of Faye, an innocent child, who was simply playing in her own yard... has been extremely difficult to all of us," Fisher said.
The girl's body turned up in a wooded area in her neighborhood. Officials have not released information about the condition of her body out of respect for her family.
The girl got off a school bus and was last seen playing in her front around on Feb. 10. More than 200 officers from multiple law enforcement agencies searched over three days for her, knocking on doors and setting up roadblocks to question people who came in and out of the neighborhood.

Cayce Department of Public Safety Director Byron Snellgrove said investigators found a child's polka-dot boot and a soup ladle filled with fresh dirt in Taylor's trash Thursday.
That evidence led them to find the girl's body in woods that had been searched previously. Within minutes of finding her body, investigators said they found Taylor dead inside his home.

Cayce Department of Public Safety Director Byron Snellgrove said the two cases were linked. Fisher later released Taylor's autopsy results to Fox News showing he died by suicide from an "incised wound to the neck."
The girl's disappearance shocked Cayce, a small city of about 13,000 in the suburbs of the state's capital city, Columbia. Several prayer vigils took place while she was missing and after her body was found.

A public memorial for Faye is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at Trinity Baptist Church in Cayce.

What sort of madness or evil gets into someone, that they could do evil things to a child?  There is too much of this hatred of children in this world.  It's not sane for people to resent the young of their own species.  It's not right to prey on children.   I read comments frequently with people complaining about children, claiming they don't have any right to be in public places, attacking people with large families and calling them al sorts of names, even when those parents are doing a great job, and of course, people defending a "right" to murder an unborn child.  This is EVIL.  This is doing the work of the enemy.  How can anyone not see that?  These cases are heartbreaking.  I know readers here agree.
