TY TY TY!!!

I can describe it as stalling the browser when I got to it, then repeat previous posts inside it many times, or just other parts of the page over and over and over... like in a loop.

Maybe someone else may try to copy/paste. I won't do it cause it freaked me out!!!

Thanks for deleting it, everything works now.

Maybe it was too long. But, I thought that it would give me a warning if it was.

Either way, it looks fine now. Thank you.

An article about three of Karen's friends, and how Karen had messaged them about jobs she was taking, and her life, right before she disappeared.

Sheriff's Department recovers unidentified body

 ::snipping2::
The Dyer County Sheriff's Department recovered an unidentified body on Saturday afternoon. The sheriff's department is only releasing limited information at this time, refusing to speculate even on the sex of the deceased.

"All we can confirm at this time is that we have recovered an unidentified body that will have to be identified by the medical examiner's office," said Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box. "The body found was in the early stages of decomposition."

According to Box, the medical examiner's office from Memphis has been dispatched to the scene and most likely will have results by Monday. The body was found at an undisclosed location in Dyer County sometime on Saturday. Box would not confirm at what time the body was found or who made the discovery. Although Box is not stating where the body was found, a roadblock was set up by sheriff's deputies at the fork in the road at Burnt Mill Road and Harness Road off Highway 78.

Speculation began to swirl that the body was possibly that of Karen Swift, the missing mother of four who was last seen on Saturday, Oct. 30. Box would not confirm that it was Swift or anyone else until the medical examiner's office has identified the body and the next of kin have been notified.

According to Box, the medical examiner's office will most likely have identification results by Monday as well as a cause of death. As of Saturday around 7 p.m. the body had not been moved from its original location as the sheriff's department is waiting on the arrival of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Violent Crime Response Team. The body was found at an undisclosed location in Dyer County sometime on Saturday. Box would not confirm at what time the body was found or who made the discovery. Although Box is not stating where the body was found, two roadblocks were set up by sheriff's deputies approximately one mile apart from one another.

Yes, sadly it really does Muffy..... such a beautiful woman with a family that loves her dearly. I can't understand how someone could take an others life. 
Prayers to her family and friends as they await confirmation.

TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT:

From topix:

A county cop that was off duty today said the body was found in a shallow grave at the cemetery on harness road by the cross. He said it was Karen. He said the grounds keeper found her, thanks to all the water we have had and the fact it was a shallow grave. The news was wrong, harness is off of 78 hwy that runs from dyersburg to lake co.

At 2840 Harness Rd there is a huge cross and what looks like a clearing on google maps. I can not see much on the satellite view.

The police will have the autopsy and identification by Monday, according to reports.

IF the rumors of Karen being buried in a shallow grave, in cemetery property are true... then, we should ask ...who could do something like that? Obviously whoever did it, wanted for her not to be found, to be mistaken by someone who legitimately was buried there.

Some reports say the body is in early stages of decomposition, some say the body is badly decomposed. Since she's been missing for about a month, there should still be some forensics that can help police nab the perp.

This can also be Holly Bobo, or other missing women we talked about before. But, being that Karen's home is less than 5 miles from where the body was found, chances are it's her.

Thanks for the updates, monkeys.

The husband David looks like the obvious choice but I just can't get past that John Hogshooter guy. I can't imagine if this was the hubby and these poor children end up loosing both parents.

Anyone know if Karen had any tatoos? I haven't seen anything on the missing posters and wondered if maybe she did have one.
