Karen Johnson Swift Breaking Developments

Very disturbing. I sure hope she is found.

I'm not fully understanding why, two weeks after her disappearance TBI is throughly searching her home?? Same happened w/baby Lisa. You would think since their homes were the last places they were seen alive, that would the first places throughly investigated???

He had to know victim's routines, what time they get up, what time they leave for work, etc. means of making those kinds of observations like cruise area first, then maybe used a hunting or trapping surveillance cameras. Might be part of his work to have access to maps, internet maps, Google Earth, etc. Swift's clothing was found in the bushes close to the car but I doubt a sexual assault took place there. Might have something to do with how he transported or stored the victim. She would not have voluntarily disrobed unless the perp had a weapon she could not overpower, or he knocked her out then took the clothes off in which case there would be drag marks, or there was more than one perp involved and they removed the clothing and carried her to a transport vehicle in which case the clothing could have been torn. Perp might believe clothing coming into contact with materials he works with or hauls would be unique enough to be immediately traced to him, or his mode of transporting, or maybe an employer if it was later discarded. Can't afford to have it come into contact with the transporting vehicle so he immediately discards it before transporting. If the women are dead then I think the bodies have not been found because he works with or hauls material that is difficult to remove from hair, nails, skin, etc. I hope both Bobo and Swift are alive, I don't know enough about the other cases to form an opinion other than he might be a private haul contractor and uses self storage for trailers and rigs and he hauls or has contact with a type of identifiable material that is hard to remove from the bodies or clothing. The clothing in the bushes might have just a sliver of trace evidence from him that went onto the clothing when he first encountered Swift. She appears strong, she might have tried to resist or panicked causing some trace from him (or them) to go onto the clothing. Might be a kind of stain, varnish, dust, some kind of unique material that once it comes into contact with clothes or a body it is hard to get it all off without thorough cleansing with soap or chemical removal.

Also I don't know if this is true but I have read in another article that LE made a mold cast of a tire impression near the scene, so there could be some trace evidence from the perp where he would have gotten out and then back in the vehicle or from the rear of the vehicle if the body was put in the transport vehicle that way. I also think that any and all trace evidence (if any) in the Bobo case could be compared to any found in the Swift case. It is hard to believe this would have been just a random encounter, seems planned out. The thought occurred to me that if the the perp is an over the road trucker or someone who travels a lot he might have wanted to have more than one victim stored at different locations but I think it would be too dangerous for him to have them both stored at the same place especially if they are both still alive. If these cases are related my impression of the kind of perp who would do this is someone who is either single or divorced, has a history of domestic violence or maybe some military experience, is 30 to 40 years old, has very few friends, is white and middle class, enjoys rural environment, likes outdoor activities such as hunting, and might have some knowledge of electronics. I think her tire was probably shot out because he is a planner and would have wanted to be certain that her vehicle became disabled in a location he selected that was most advantageous to him. He could have accomplished this by watching her get into the vehicle and shooting out the tire with a weapon that had a silencer on it, and if more than one tire was flattened (other articles I read said that) then it might have been because a bullet went through both tires. I doubt that he pulled her over or forced her off the road because then she would not have gotten out of the car and she would have laid on the horn or tried to call somebody. He got her to get out of her vehicle somehow and my guess is unknown to her he shot or flattened the tire as he watched her get in the car, she drove a little ways, he watched her get out of her vehicle to inspect the tire and that is when he made his move. He had to use a stun gun or force to stop her from resisting because she was strong and she would have ran away or screamed, so after he disabled the vehicle he had to disable her and then disrobe her, then put her in his vehicle and drive off, then maybe pulled over to better restrain her for transport. Any place he got out and back in his vehicle there would have been an opportunity for trace evidence. from him or his vehicle.
