TN v. David Swift

Summary

David Swift was charged in Tennessee with killing his wife, Karen Swift, who disappeared after returning home from a Halloween party in October 2011. Her car was found near the family home, and her body was discovered six weeks later near an abandoned cemetery; an autopsy found blunt-force trauma to the head. At the 2024 trial, Swift was acquitted of most charges while jurors could not agree on voluntary manslaughter.
