A news report from January 2012 by Lexington County Police – not far from where Faye Swetlik was taken– released the sketch of a man suspected in an attempted kidnapping.

The Man Tried To Lure Them Into His Car

Three young girls, ages 9 and two 13 year olds, were playing outside in their mobile home park. The man stopped his car and spoke to the 13 year olds. When asked, they refused to get into his vehicle, so the man drove to a playground in the same mobile home park.

That is where he grabbed the 9 year old and attempted to put her into his car. A friend she had been playing with began screaming and he let her go, before jumping back into his seat and driving away. Many people are now speculating that the sketch and description bear a strong resemblance to the man whose death has been officially connected to Faye’s case.

The man was wearing glasses, a black jacket and dark blue jeans. His gray or blue four-door sedan had tape on the driver’s side window and chipped paint.

Faye Was Kidnapped From Her Yard

The scenario is obviously strikingly similar. The location was less than 8 miles away from where both Coty Scott Taylor and Faye Swetlik lived. If any connection is made between the two, is yet another answer we will have to wait for. Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking that there are not two predators in the same small area.
