ANNOUNCING THAT WE HAVE FOUND
THE BODY AND THE CORONER HAS

SWETLIK. WE ARE NOW TREATING THIS CASE AS

A HOMICIDE. AS THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN
WORKING HARD TO FIND HER AND
BRING HER HOME SAFELY, WE WANTED
YOU TO KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

FLUID INVESTIGATION AND THAT WE

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. >> Dana: TERRIBLE NEWS OUT OF
SOUTH CAROLINA, WE WERE HOPING
FOR A BETTER UPDATE.
GILLIAN TURNER IS LIVE FOR THE
BREAKING DETAILS, AND YOU’VE
BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STORY.
NEWS JUST BROKE MOMENTS AGO.
>> HEARTBREAKING, DANA.
THE LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IN
SOUTH CAROLINA NEAR THE CITY
WHERE THIS YOUNG GIRL LIVED,
ANNOUNCING THEY HAVE NOW FOUND
THEIR BODY.
THEIR BODY. THIS WAS DAY THREE OF A MASSIVE
SEARCH EFFORT THAT HAD BEEN
UNDERWAY FOR HER SINCE MONDAY
WHICH WAS THE LAST TIME SHE WAS
SEEN.
SEEN. I DON’T KNOW IF WE HAVE VIDEO
HERE BUT A FEW HOURS AGO EARLIER
TODAY, AUTHORITIES RELEASED A
VIDEO OF FAYE PRETTY CLOSE TO
THE LAST MOMENT SHE WAS SEEN.
SHE WAS COMING OFF OF HER SCHOOL
BUS AND GETTING DROPPED OFF
CLOSE TO HER FRONT YARD.
THIS VIDEO THE AUTHORITIES ARE
SAYING IS IT REALLY JUST MINUTES
BEFORE SHE WENT MISSING, SO THEY
HAD HELD OUT HOPE THAT MAYBE
TODAY THEY WOULD GET MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT HER.
THIS EFFORT TO FIND THIS GIRL, I
SPOKE TO SOMEBODY, A LOCAL WHO
LIVES AND WORKS IN HER
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE SAID THAT
WHEN HE DROVE BY HER HOME A FEW
HOURS AGO, IT WAS A VERY ACTIVE
POLICE SEEN HIM.
HE SAID THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE,
VOLUNTEERS AND NEIGHBORS HAD
JOINED IN THE EFFORT TO GO FIND
HER.
HER. THERE WERE THREE LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATIONS
SEARCHING FOR FAYE IN
COMBINATION WITH THE FBI.
THEY WERE FOLLOWING THE FBI’S
PROTOCOL AND PROCEDURES THEY
SAID SO I THINK THE ENTIRE
COMMUNITY, SAFE TO SAY, IT WILL
BE DEVASTATED BY THIS NEWS.
THEY HAD BEEN HOPING FOR A
DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
DIFFERENT OUTCOME. SOMETHING ELSE WE ARE FOLLOWING
NOW, DANA, YOU HEARD THEM ALSO
SAY THAT THEY ALSO FOUND THE
BODY OF A DECEASED MALE.
AS SOON AS WE FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THAT WE WILL BRING IT TO
YOU.
YOU. STAY ONE MORE ON THIS NOW WITH
ED WILLIAMS, FORMER D.C.
DETECTIVE AND FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR.
CONTRIBUTOR. WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT
THE INVESTIGATORS MIGHT HAVE
BEEN LOOKING FOR, THEY DO NOT
BELIEVE THE PUBLIC’S AND ANY
ADDITIONAL DANGER AT THIS TIME?
>> WELL ALL ALONG DANA IN THIS
VERY SAD SITUATION,
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KNOW A
LOT MORE THAN THEY HAVE ACTUALLY
PUT OUT TO THE PUBLIC.
AS A RESULT OF THAT EVEN NOW,
THEY MAY VERY WELL HAVE A
SUSPECT IN MIND.
ONE OF THE REASONS WE SAY THAT,
THEY TALKED ABOUT THIS MAIL THAT
THEY FOUND THAT WAS DECEASED,
BUT I’M SURE THEY ARE TRYING TO
MAKE A DECISION AND TRYING TO
SEE IF THERE IS ANY EVIDENCE TO
SHOW A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
DECEASED MALE AND THIS DEAD
CHILD.
CHILD. >> Dana: WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU
THINK THAT INVESTIGATORS, AS
JILLIAN WAS JUST DESCRIBING, THE
SCENE AT THE HOUSE WAS VERY
ACTIVE.
ACTIVE. EVERYONE WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK
TO TRY TO FIND THEM.
NOW I’M ASSUMING IF SHE WAS
GETTING OFF THE SCHOOL BUS, HER
MOVEMENTS HAD BEEN WATCHED?
>> HER MOVEMENTS COULD HAVE BEEN
WATCHED BUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING
I’M SURE IS TRYING TO GET AS
MUCH VIDEO AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN
IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY KNOW THAT SHE GOT OFF THE
BUS AND THEY KNOW THAT SHE WAS
IN FRONT OF HER HOME PLAYING AT
ONE TIME, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
SHE’S GONE MISSING.
SO NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT
TOGETHER A COMPOSITE OF WHAT HAS
TAKEN PLACE HERE BECAUSE NOW WE
ARE DEALING WITH UNFORTUNATELY A
HOMICIDE IN LIGHT OF THE FACT
THAT THIS YOUNG CHILD IS NO
LONGER WITH US.
