Local reporters in South Carolina have shared video footage of a line of police vehicles headed toward the last known location of missing 6-year-old Faye Swetlik.
Late Wednesday afternoon, WIS News 10 shared video on Twitter of police vehicles with flashing lights entering the Churchill Heights neighborhood where Faye was last seen at her home on Londonderry Square, shortly after disembarking a school bus at around 3:45 p.m. Monday. Another reporter on the scene said that at least 10 vehicles were seen approaching the subdivision.
