Dyersburg State Gazette November 1st, 2015, David Swift's statement in response to article; "It has been a rough 4 years since Karen was taken from our lives. The children are doing well because we are a strong family and often look at pictures and talk about mommy. It is sad that the sheriff department has made many attempts to taint public opinion of me. I have always been fully cooperative and never refused an interview with investigators. My daughter was interviewed so I am not sure why they continue to state differently. If statements are being made publicly from the sheriff's department I would hope they would have documented proof of their statements. I was told early on by the sheriff not to talk to the media since they were twisting and turning things around that he was even saying. I was told not to search for my wife because that could place me at various areas and possible contaminate evidence. I took the sheriff's advice and later this is turned against me by Terry McCreight's public statements. I did everything possible with phone calls and passing out flyers when I was able to do so. We will always love Karen and remember the good memories we had and pray for true justice".

David Swift not guilty at trial June 6 2024, his D-Day, so who killed Karen Swift? Maybe David Swift DIDN'T kill Karen Johnson Swift - The Context Of Things. see https://thecontextofthings.com/2015/01/12/karen-johnson-swift-case/ via @tedbauer2003.
Prosecutor DA Goodman claims in his opening statement Tuesday, that David Swift on the morning of Oct 30th, 2011 went into the bedroom where his wife was sleeping in their home, stripped her down to her panties and then dragged her to their garage where David Swift put Karen Swift down on the concrete floor and stomped on Karen Swift's head with such force that he cracked her skull in two places, there would have been blood spatter everywhere. Medical examiner Dr. Marco Ross testified to a depressed skull fracture on the right side of her head, that he said killed Karen Swift in the David Swift murder trial, but said there was no way to determine the weapon. I suppose it could be from a hammer or a baseball bat or even from a possible pistol whipping as a weapon to cause a depressed skull fracture (bones forced into the brain). Dr. Marco Ross also testified there was no way to determine if she'd been sexually assaulted. An autopsy report provided to Court TV said Karen Swift died from “blunt force injury of the head”, depressed fracture to the temporal bone on the side of the head, the the hardest bone in the human body.
17-page autopsy revealed Karen Swift died from a hit to the right front side of her head causing a depressed fracture sending broken bones into her brain. Looks like a left hand perp hit her with a gun butt. A gun butt from a pistol whipping would definitely cause a depressed fracture in the head of Karen Swift. I think that of all the suspected murder weapons, like a hammer or gulf club or baseball bat that have been bantered around by web-sleuths, bloggers, pod-casters and wanna be cops the most obvious weapon that is prolific in the State of Tennessee is a handgun.DA Goodman claims David Swift stomped on the head of Karen Swift while she was lying on the concrete floor of their garage, there would have been blood everywhere. BUT wouldn't they have been damage to both sides of Karen Swift's head and not just on the right side? The medical examiner testified Thursday May 30 in the David Swift murder trial, providing graphic details from Karen Swift's autopsy. The medical examiner stated that Karen Swift had a depressed fracture to the right side of her head that was the basic cause of death. A depressed fracture to the head causes bone fragments forced into the brain, M.E. was unable to determine exactly what kind of weapon caused the head wound. Depressed fracture wounds were found on the right side of the head above the right eye of Karen Swift. The human skull can withstand 6.5 GPa of pressure while oak holds up under 11 GPa. Frontal bone: this bone comprises the forehead and the upper orbit of the eye. It joins the parietal bones at the coronal suture. Two temporal bones: These bones are located at the sides and base of the skull, and they are the hardest bones in the body. A supposed murder weapon that caused the wound would be a hammer or a baseball bat or even from a possible pistol whipping. The killer of Karen Swift would have been most likely left handed if he used a weapon as wounds were on the right side of her head, David Swift is right handed.

Does Darrell Sells, 85, have access to the witness list for this upcoming murder trail of David Swift in Tennessee that started on May 28th 2024 and if he does, why does he?
Previously: Back on Friday, June 18, 2021, STATE GAZETTE NEWSPAPER TENNESSEE WRITES: On June 14, the Dyer County Grand Jury indicted Darrell Sells and former private eye Chasity Nicole Brandon on a charge of stalking by electronic communications.

In 2021 Darrell Sells filed a Lawsuit on David Swift and others for Defamation relating to a complaint David Swift filed with the Tennessee Private Investigation and Polygraph Commission about private eye Chastity Nicole Brandon (Bryan) of Dyersburg, Tennessee. Mr. Swift had an interest in protecting himself and his family from private eye Chastity Nicole Brandon (Bryan) of Dyersburg, Tennesse who was acting unlawfully and harassing him and his minor children. Further, as a victim of Ms. Chastity Brandon’s improper campaign and unsanctioned investigative tactics, which ran afoul of applicable professional regulations, see Ex. 1 p. 16–18 (recommending that Ms. Chastity Brandon’s license be voluntarily surrendered due to her misbehavior), Mr. Swift acted in good faith to alert the appropriate regulatory authority that was empowered to take action. Put another way: Mr. Swift filed a complaint in good faith in order to ensure that private eye Chastity Nicole Brandon (Bryan) of Dyersburg, Tennesse was held accountable for her professional misconduct, and upon review of that complaint by the regulatory authority that was responsible for licensing Ms. Chastity Brandon, she was.

Karen Swift was reported missing on Sunday, Oct. 30, when her 2004 Nissan Murano was discovered near the intersection of Harness Road and Millsfield Highway at about 5:15 am. Karen Swift was last seen at her home in Dyersburg on Willie Johnson Rd. around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 30. Marty Lamb was driving to work around 5:15 AM Sunday when he found Karen Swift's car with a flat tire on Millsfield Highway Dyer County. COURT TIMELINE MAKES NO SENSE, RACHEL TOWNSEND WRITES.
Let’s look at this timeline provided by the court:
*2:08 a.m.: Karen comes home with Ashley
*3:45-4:30 a.m.: Internet activity on David’s laptop shows images were opened from an external device.
*Depending
on whether you believe the expert witness of the Defense or of the
State, the last cellular of Karen Swift activity was recorded at 4:38 a.m. (State expert’s opinion) or 5:09 a.m. (Defense expert’s opinion).
*5:15 a.m. the first sighting of the abandoned vehicle, people at the car by 5:30 a.m. This leaves a very small window (1 hour)
for the murder, dumping of the body, staging of Karen’s vehicle and the
tire on Millsfield Highway and the walk back from the vehicle to the
Swift residence and do a professional crime scene cleanup with bleach,
no trace of blood or body fluids. The distance has been inaccurately
stated as 1/4-mile multiple times throughout the trial. In a
conversation with District Attorney Danny Goodman, I was told the
distance was roughly .43 miles. This is closer to an 8–10-minute walk for a healthy person with no disability.
