Karen Swift Murder: Husband David Swift Arrested After 10 Years For Killing The Wife
After going missing on October 30, 2011, Karen Swift’s body was found on December 10, 2011, more than ten years ago.
On Monday afternoon, deputies from the Dyer County Sheriff’s Office and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama worked together to capture David Swift.
The grand jury’s decision to indict and charge David with murder on Monday delighted and moved sheriff Jeff Box. His office had been looking into the death for almost ten years.
The Sheriff’s Office concluded their investigation in October 2019 and gave District Attorney General Danny Goodman’s office the evidence. Jeff admired the thoroughness with which Goodman and his team examined the evidence before Monday’s grand jury presentation.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office will hold David without bond until a Tuesday extradition hearing, which is anticipated. If found guilty, David may spend the rest of his life in prison without the chance of parole.

How Did Karen Swift Die?
According to an earlier story from WREG, Karen Swift’s car was found abandoned on the side of the road about a quarter mile from her residence. Her body was discovered in a nearby cemetery a month later by a group of hunters.
Her house was once more in the spotlight when police searched it. On Thursday, 2013, no one answered the door at the Swift home on Willie Johnson Road north of Dyersburg despite the fact that there were two cars parked in the driveway.
When Dyer County investigators came with a search warrant on Wednesday night and went to work, the two-story residence was far from silent.
Even though Karen had only recently filed for divorce from David Swift and was last seen there, she was last known to be there.
Karen was murdered by blunt force trauma to the head, according to the autopsy report, which was made public in November 2018 after being held hidden for seven years. In addition, she was only partially dressed and had many bone fractures.
