It’s been over a decade since Karen Swift disappeared after a Halloween party, but this case is far from buried. This Friday, Dateline revisits the chilling story of the Tennessee mother of four whose vanishing act sent shockwaves through her small town. What began as a missing person case soon turned into a murder investigation, with Karen’s estranged husband, David, at the center of the storm.
This episode takes us from the discovery of Karen’s abandoned SUV to the eventual indictment of David Swift for her murder. The initial trial ended in a mistrial, leaving more questions than answers.
Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison guides us through the evidence, including testimony about Karen’s desire for a divorce and David’s physical capabilities.
Interviews with Jason Creasy, Ashley Swift, Terry McCreight, and Heather Cohen offer different perspectives on the case.
