Karen Johnson Swift Missing Person Case Is Now a Criminal Investigation, Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box Gives Update “He Has Nothing”.
Friday, November 25, 2011
The Karen Swift missing person case, in what I felt was an abduction and/or a kidnapping from the start, has now been classified a Criminal Investigation by Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box. Sheriff Box gave an update to the Dyersburg State Gazette newspaper on Friday November 25th concerning the Karen Swift case and after going around and around, he appears to have no new leads or a possible suspect or even a possible theory about what really happened to Karen Swift.
“Sheriff Box stated the sheriff’s office will maintain control of the investigation along with the assistance of the T.B.I.”…….It sure would be an advantage to have the resources of the FBI and FBI profilers involved, since this is obviously a kidnapping case with possible interstate activity into Kentucky.
The Dyer County Sheriff’s Office via Sheriff Jeff Box advised that his department is conducting this missing-person case of Karen Swift as a criminal investigation with foul play involved just as if they have a criminal suspect and will continue doing that unless foul play is ruled out. He also stated it is always critical to an investigation that they control when the potential suspect becomes aware of the evidence they hold against him or her.
And by holding the evidence close to an investigation helps prevent potential suspects from being able to impede the investigation by developing false alibis, statements or destroying forensic evidence to avoid prosecution. Sheriff Box stated the sheriff’s office will maintain control of the investigation along with the assistance of the T.B.I. and continue to use every assisting agency and resource available to answer more questions about Swift’s disappearance.
“If in event any evidence we hold could assist in locating Swift, we would immediately release this item to the media or the public, just as we did when we asked for information about anyone seeing her or her car and then releasing photos of her car parked in the location it was found,” said Box. We will not make any assumptions, or statements about this case, name persons of interest and suspects unless it is backed up by evidence and only then if it will be beneficial to this investigation.”
The sheriff’s dept. has used the following resources to conduct the many searches of these areas:
* Dyer County Sheriff’s Deputies, Sheriff’s Investigators, Sheriff’s Unit trained in Visual Man Tracking
* Tennessee Highway Patrol Strike Teams, Aviation Unit, Cert Team, and many additional troopers.
* Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Special Agents, Crime Scene Unit, and Crime Lab.
* Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Special Agents, Crime Scene Unit, and Crime Lab.
* Tennessee Department of Corrections Fort Pillow Bloodhound Unit
* Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Bloodhound Unit
* Scott County Missouri Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Dogs including Cadaver Dogs
* Shelby County Tennessee Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Unit with Dogs including Cadaver Dogs
* Dyer, Lake, Obion, Lauderdale, Gibson, and Henry County Rescue Squads with boats, sonar and drag equipment.
* Dyer County, Millsfield, Bogota, Lenox, Bonicord and Finley fire depts.
* Dyer County Emergency Management
* Personnel on horseback and many other local volunteers.
Investigators are currently examining evidence they have collected in the case, as well as lab reports in order to provide them with more answers. Authorities still ask anyone with information about Swift’s disappearance to contact the Dyer County Sheriff’s Department at 731-285-2802. Crime Stoppers of Dyer County is offering a cash reward for information that would lead to an arrest and conviction in this case. Callers can reach Crime Stoppers at 731-285-TIPS (8477).

Often the victims are abducted in one state and dumped in another. And the killers? Authorities say they have 200 suspects; almost all are long-haul truck drivers. To date, the FBI says it has helped local authorities arrest at least 10 suspects believed to be involved in more than 30 of the killings.
There have been 5 identical cases of petite blonde haired white females who have just vanished from the face of the earth since September 23rd, 2010 and cops have no clues as to where any of then are or a suspect. In the Holly Bobo case it appears that a white male who appeared to be 5′ 10″ to 6′ 0″ tall and over 200 lbs kidnapped Holly from her carport, SEE LINK http://www.billwarnerpi.com/2011/11/cnn-hln-news-video-misssing-karen-swift.html

All of the five missing blonde haired petite women were abducted outside of their homes or apartments, from open areas on streets or roads or carports at unusually early times in the morning and from April there has been an abduction every other month up to October, this is a pattern.
There is only one eyeball witness to any of the abductions and that is the brother of Holly Bobo in Darden TN, the brother claims a large man, a white male who appears to be 6′ 0″ tall and over 200 lbs kidnapped Holly. Holly Bobo’s cell phone was found on the side of the road about 6 miles from her home.
