When Coty’s roommate was asked if he had been acting strangely in the days leading up to him taking his own life, his roommate said he did think Coty did something bizarre.
Coty was spraying an odor eliminator all through their place after Faye disappeared. His roommate thought that he had gone out and bought it after authorities searched their place the first time.
Coty’s roommate thought he bought the odor eliminator to cover the smell of marijuana that he smoked, but he had never done something like that before.
By now, authorities zoned in on that black laundry hamper that belonged to Coty that had been seen under the stairs when they first searched his townhouse.
When this black laundry hamper was DNA tested, the inside of it came back as having a mix of Coty and Faye’s DNA. Faye’s body was most likely inside of that hamper while police had done their first walk-through.
Another thing that Coty’s roommate mentioned was that he really believed Coty had purchased the odor eliminator to cover up the smell of Faye’s body.
Coty’s roommate told authorities that he “had never smelled a dead person before but there was something not right.”
“This investigation was unable to determine if Faye Swetlik was abducted by force near her residence or was lured to 602 Piccadilly Square by Coty Taylor,” the Cayce Department of Public Safety said in a report.
“Coty Taylor asphyxiated Faye Swetlik within hours of abducting her. Faye Swetlik’s body was likely concealed at Coty Taylor’s residence (602 Piccadilly Square) until the morning of 2/13/2020.”
