6-year-old girl Faye Marie Swetlik missing after getting off school bus in South Carolina
CAYCE, S.C. -- Hundreds of officers are searching for a 6-year-old South Carolina girl who's been missing for more than 24 hours.
First grader Faye Swetlik was last seen around 3:45 p.m. Monday, after she got off the school bus and was playing in front of her home in Cayce, just outside of Columbia.
"Faye is a bubbly and happy little girl" who "always wants to play and have fun," her family said in a statement. "She's not the type of kid that will up and walk away."
Faye's mother, her mother's boyfriend and Faye's father have all been cooperative with police, Cayce Department of Public Safety Director Byron Snellgrove said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Cayce Department of Public Safety at 803-205-4444.
