Selena Collins was watching her six-year-old daughter, Faye Marie Swetlik, happily playing in the front garden, just beyond the porch, on that fateful day in February 2020. But in an instant, Faye vanished. Selena immediately ran outside to search for her, but after failing to find her, she knocked desperately on neighbours’ doors. Those who were home rushed out to help search, joining in the frantic hunt for the little girl.
It had been a wet and rainy week in South Carolina, so Faye had been wearing her favourite polka-dot rain boots when she went outside to play that day. Those boots would later become the key clue that helped police locate her.
