Everyone Thought Their Marriage Was Perfect—They Were Wrong | True Crime Documentary

She filed for divorce in October 2011. Three weeks later, Karen Swift vanished from her own bedroom in Dyersburg, Tennessee — her SUV found less than half a mile from home with a deliberately shredded tire, her phones smashed in the grass nearby. Six weeks after that, her body was discovered near an abandoned cemetery, just three miles from where she'd tucked her nine-year-old daughter into bed for the last time. It would take another eleven years, thirty boxes of re-examined evidence, and a digital trail investigators almost missed before anyone was ever charged with her murder — and even then, no one has ever been convicted. This is the full story of Karen Johnson Swift: the marriage that couldn't survive a second time, the three-week countdown that ended her life, the trial that produced no answers, and the federal lawsuit still unfolding today. Disclaimer: This video covers a criminal case involving allegations that have been contested in court. David Swift was tried and found not guilty of murder; a related manslaughter charge ended in mistrial and was later dismissed. He has not been convicted of any crime in connection with Karen Swift's death, and under the law he is presumed innocent. Aspects of this case, including a related federal civil rights lawsuit, may still be active in the court system as of this video's release.
