Officials said the child was last seen wearing polka dot boots and a black t-shirt. They said she was on her normal bus from school and did make it home.
Swetlik later went missing from her home and family members started searching for her around 3:45 p.m. Authorities were alerted around 5 p.m. Officials say Swetlik lived at home with her mother but they do not know who was home when she got off the bus.
She is from the Churchill Heights neighborhood.
Lexington County officials held a press conference to discuss Swetlik’s disappearance. They say there are 90 safety personnel on the scene and 20 plus community members are continuing to search.
Lexington County PIO Adam Myrick said the scene will remain active and daylight could change things considerably.
“We will be here until we find Faye. Our work will continue until we determine what happened here,” Myrick said.
