At about 10 pm on Friday, September 27, 1996, an officer came upon a suspicious car that was left abandoned on the westbound side of I-72. The location was near the Pima County line in central Illinois, about 40 miles northeast of Decatur, Illinois. 

The engine of the 1992 black Pontiac Bonneville was running while the driver’s side door was wide open, the headlights, dome light & tail lights were on, but the driver was nowhere to be found. There were fast food bags on the passenger seat as well as other items, including a women’s black purse that sat on the floor with some chunks of cinders scattered about. 

When the officer looked inside the purse, he found a driver’s license that belonged to a 23-year-old woman, Karyn Slover, while the car was registered to 34-year-old David Swann.

When the officer contacted David Swann, he confirmed that he was the owner of the car. He explained that his girlfriend, Karyn Slover, had borrowed it that evening to pick up her 3-year-old son, Kolten, since her car needed an oil change & new brakes. Although David & Karyn had been friends for months, they’d only recently started dating.

After she picked up Kolten, she planned to go shopping for dresses at a mall south of Decatur for a wedding that she was attending with David the following day. After she found a dress, she planned to swing by David’s house to pick up laundry that she left there & then head home to make Kolten dinner.

David had been at the wedding rehearsal & dinner that night & when he got home at about 10 pm, he noticed that Karyn’s laundry bag was in the same place she’d left it. 

He told the officer that the disheveled way the interior of the car had been found was how it had been when he last saw it on Friday at about 4:15 pm in the newspaper office parking lot where both he & Karyn worked, although the cinders had not been there.

After speaking with the officer, he couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation as to why she would have left the car as it was found on the side of the road. When he called Karyn’s parents, Larry & Donna Hearn, they said they last spoke with her when she called after she left work, but they hadn’t heard from her since. 

After hearing about the way the car had been found, they were immediately concerned. Knowing their daughter had been heading to pick Kolten up at Michael & Jeannette Slover’s house, her former in-laws, they contacted them at 10 pm. 

Jeannette told them that Kolten was still there since Karyn hadn’t arrived to pick him up & she hadn’t called to say she was running late. Although she normally picked him up between 5-6 pm, Jeannette indicated that she was often late & sometimes Kolten spent the night with them. However, it seemed that Karyn would always communicate with Jeannette when there was a change in plans. 

(Jeannette & Michael Slover Sr.)

David filed a missing persons report which initiated an official investigation. More than 3,000 flyers with Karyn’s photo were circulated throughout central Illinois in hopes that someone had seen her.

When authorities spoke with Karyn’s co-workers from the Decatur-based Herald & Review where she worked as an advertising rep, they said that she left that Friday evening at 5 pm. No one had seen or heard from her since that time. 

Although Karyn had a cell phone, officers did not find it among her belongings left behind in David’s car. Several of her friends confirmed that Karyn was planning on picking Kolten up before heading to the Hickory Point Mall in Forsyth for a dress. 

Those that knew her were highly concerned & began searching corn fields that spanned each side of the highway where David’s car had been found abandoned. The Pitt County Sheriff’s Department dispatched helicopters to fly over the area, believing that Karyn had likely been abducted. 

Based on the findings of the car, investigators assumed that she had been car-jacked, something that is known to happen on stretches of rural roads where drivers are isolated. Oftentimes, a car will flash its lights, signaling distress while a kind driver stops only to be lured into the offender’s trap.

Since the car had been left in a way that drew attention to it with the driver’s side door open & the headlights on, investigators questioned if someone other than Karyn had left it at that location, possibly staging it. 

Authorities also had to consider other possibilities, including the fact that Karyn had willingly abandoned the car herself. However, she had been in the process of pursuing a modeling career & had only just received an agency contract for a three-day job with Paris World International, based in Savannah, Georgia. 

On the very day she vanished, she signed & returned the contract & since she was very excited about the upcoming job, paired with the fact that she was not someone who would have willingly abandoned her son, made this scenario highly unlikely. 

Her parents told investigators that Karyn aspired to grow her modeling career into a full-time job. She did hope to one day leave Illinois & take Kolten with her, but she would have never left without any communication. It was also doubtful that she would have randomly stopped David’s car along the road, opened the door & just walked away, leaving her purse & ID behind.

As the next two days went by without word from Karen, hope that she would safely return began to dwindle. David, who made a media appeal for her safe return, was considered a suspect by investigators since he had been one of the last known people to have spoken with her & they had plans to meet up later that night. 

As they began making a list of those closest to Karyn, the dismembered remains of a young woman had been found two days after she vanished on Sunday, September 29, 1996. 

That afternoon, Tracy Seabaugh & his wife, Sheri, had been walking along the shore of Lake Shelbyville near Findlay Marina when they spotted a gray garbage bag within the shallow water. Tracy was in the habit of picking up trash left behind by visitors & as he reached down to pick the bag up, he immediately stopped in his tracks. When he felt the object inside, he thought it felt like a human head.

Without opening the bag, he contacted the police. When Deputy Jeff Thomas arrived, he cut through the first layer of the bag & noticed a second gray garbage bag inside that had been sealed with duct tape. As he sliced through this second layer, he was horrified to see blond hair that was draped over a human ear.

Over the next few days, authorities continued to search the entire lake where they recovered ten separate bags, many of which had floated ashore. Each bag had been tightly wrapped, some were double-bagged & many contained a heavy item inside meant to weigh it down. However, as the body began to decompose, the bags were filled with gases causing them to ultimately resurface.

Authorities immediately believed the remains belonged to missing Karyn Slover & dental records soon confirmed that they had been correct.  

Karyn’s remains were transported to Memorial Medical Center in Springfield for an autopsy that determined she had been shot six times to the left side of the forehead & once to the back of the head at point-blank range with a .22-caliber gun. 

Because she’d been shot so many times, It’s likely that the killer had been very angry & likely shot her until the gun was empty. There was also the unusual finding of a large amount of sand, rocks & gravel inside Karyn’s vagina & anus that appeared to have been placed there, rather than getting there through the waves of the lake.

Investigators also found a drop of blood on the Findlay Bridge that ran over Lake Shelbyville that matched Karyn’s DNA analysis as well as a fingerprint that was lifted only inches away. This was likely the spot where the bags had been dumped into the water. 

Investigators wondered if maybe a serial killer had been out on the hunt for a victim & randomly came upon Karyn, who was out driving on a rural stretch of road. After abducting, murdering & dismembering her, they disposed of her remains within the lake that was forty miles from where David’s car had been found.

However, Detective Michael Beck believed that Karyn had likely known her killer. He felt that whoever killed her then drove David’s car in another direction to divert the search away from Lake Shelbyville. The staging of the crime & dismemberment of Karyn’s body made it less likely to be a random attack.

An eight-member task force was assembled that consisted of representatives from five area agencies. They began combing over Karyn’s background as they listened to rumors about the messy divorce she’d gone through, an angry ex-boyfriend as well as a creepy newspaper customer who had been acting strangely.

According to investigators, although David had been at the rehearsal dinner & then the rehearsal itself on that Friday night, there was a forty-five minute gap of time that his whereabouts couldn’t be accounted for between the two events.  

Investigators were also aware that he had a criminal record that included impersonating a police officer as well as breaking into his estranged wife’s apartment five years earlier in 1991. During this incident, he was armed with a .22-caliber handgun & he struck her 4-5 times & threatened to kill her while holding the gun against her head. According to court records, David pleaded guilty to aggravated battery & was sentenced to probation. 

Although he seemed very concerned when Karyn went missing, investigators knew he could just be acting. 

When authorities came to David’s house with a search warrant about a week after Karyn vanished, he voluntarily allowed them inside. Had he murdered and/or dismembered her in that location, they would have expected to find evidence to prove this, but they didn’t. 

After four hours of interrogation, he suddenly mentioned that he’d stopped at an ATM during the 45 minute gap of time in his alibi. When investigators checked footage from the bank, it proved he was there which cleared him as a suspect in the case. 

Karyn had met her ex-husband, Michael Slover Jr., while attending the same community college. They were married in 1993 when she was three months pregnant & they divorced in April 1996 after their relationship became contentious. 

(Michael Slover Jr.)

Detectives learned that Michael Jr. had a criminal record that included drug possession, gun possession & burglary. He’d also solicited bribes from shoplifters where he worked as a security guard in exchange for him not turning them in. For this charge, he pleaded guilty & received probation.

Karyn’s friends later testified that he had been physically abusive during their marriage. According to their divorce agreement, Karyn was Kolten’s primary custodian while Michael had alternate weekends with their son while his mother, Jeannette, would continue to watch Kolten during the week until he started kindergarten.

(Jeannette Slover)

Karyn’s parents told investigators that their daughter hadn’t been happy with Michael’s parents watching her son each weekday, but she’d been unsuccessful in finding an alternative daycare solution for the time being. Some reports indicated that Jeannette’s relationship with her grandson was highly inappropriate as she viewed him as her own child & even attempted to breastfeed him. When Karyn would pick Kolten up from the Slovers, she had to sometimes pry him away from Jeannette. According to an ex-boyfriend, Jeannette had told her grandson, one day you’ll be all mine.

In the meantime, the newspaper where Karyn worked offered a $10,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest while police continued to focus on potential suspects. In addition to David & Michael Slover Jr, they also spoke with her two ex-boyfriends, Brian Maxey & Dale Lucas. However, once it was established that they each had alibis, they were cleared as suspects in the case. 

Within days of Karyn’s murder, investigators began receiving tips about three men, Timothy Roach, Joshua White & another man, J.F. or J.S., who they accused of murdering Karyn. The tips included details that were consistent with the gruesome way that she was killed.

On the same day that her body was found, September 29, Timothy Roach & Joshua White were involved in an incident that involved a stolen car. They fled from police & ran over an officer causing him serious bodily harm. The car they drove as well as the hotel they stayed in over the weekend of Karyn’s murder was searched & their fingerprints were compared with evidence from the case, but they weren’t a match. 

Karyn’s body had likely been dismembered with a power saw, then wrapped in the plastic bags & discarded into the lake. Although the bags were free from fingerprints, having been potentially washed away in the lake, they had been taped closed with duct tape. Investigators found a number of hair strands attached to the tape that was determined to belong to a dog.  

There was also material found on the body parts that indicated Karyn had been killed in an area with both tall grass & cinders. After David’s car was towed to a police garage, cinders were also found inside that could potentially point to where the killer had been. 

Landowners along I-72 were asked to look at their properties for signs of foul play, although investigators felt it was more likely that the killer had shot & dismembered Karyn’s body either on their own property or the property of someone they knew. Investigators from three counties drove throughout 450-square miles of land in hopes of finding blood evidence that would point to the crime scene

Since some of the body parts remained missing, divers continued to search the lake. They also searched for the gun, thinking the killer may have discarded it there, but like the saw that was used to dismember her body, the gun has never been found. 

It wasn’t long before investigators hit a dead end as no additional suspects or evidence came to light. In March 1998, a year & a half after Karyn was murdered, the body of a 63-year-old woman was found floating in Lake Decatur while her car had been moved across town. This made some question if a serial killer could be involved. However, because the woman was much older than Karyn & hadn’t been dismembered, authorities didn’t believe the two cases were connected.

The following year in 1999, Michael’s sister, Mary Slover, adopted Kolten & moved with him & Michael to Tennessee. 

It wasn’t until January 2000, over three years after Karyn’s death, when an arrest was finally made. Back in 1998, investigators noticed broken concrete at Michael Sr’s used car lot in Mount Zion, Miracle Motors, that resembled the concrete blocks that had been used inside the bags to weigh down Karyn’s remains as well as what was found in David’s car. 

As the lot was searched, Richard Munroe, a forensic geologist, was brought in to examine the concrete to determine if any of the edges matched what was found with the body. He was able to determine that pieces that were recovered from the bags as well as David’s car were consistent in several ways with the concrete found at Miracle Motors. They were not consistent with those found at the lake or on the bridge where Karyn’s blood was discovered.

Investigators noted that Micahel Sr. had circled some cars around a particular area of the lot at Miracle Motors that could have been intentionally done in order to conceal the dismemberment process. 

An area was marked off for a more intensive excavation where the crew planned to remove four inches of topsoil, sifting through the 5,000 square foot lot grid-by-grid. When a snow storm blew through during the process, the crew brought in snow melting equipment & set up tents to protect the sifting process. 

The team collected sixty 5-gallon buckets of dirt which then took six-months to process. Through their search, they found a button marked with Authentic Paris Sport Club Jeans as well as rivets, each of which matched the jeans that Karyn had been wearing when she vanished. They also recovered two cloth-covered buttons from a white shirt. When analyzed under a microscope, experts determined that the fabric that was wrapped around the buttons matched the fabric from the shirt Karyn had been wearing. 

With this evidence, a search warrant was obtained for Michael’s parent’s home. Jeannette Slover was said to be highly combative as officers arrived & allegedly threatened to hit a detective. Police found a collection of firearms at the house while Michael Slover Sr. admitted that one was missing, a .22-caliber gun which he recalled very little details of. 

After Karyn’s murder, Michael Jr. provided a three-page handwritten account as to his whereabouts on the Friday in question. He started his security guard job at a local Cub Foods grocery store at 12:30 pm, then went to his job as a martial arts instructor & ended his day at 2 am after working a third job as a bouncer at a local bar called Ronnie’s. 

When detectives reviewed his alibi in 2000, they found it to be suspiciously detailed. He was able to recall each item he ate at a restaurant that evening, who he visited with & how much he paid for his dinner. He also called Karyn the day before she left work & according to a co-worker, her mood immediately shifted from excited about her upcoming modeling job to anger. Her co-worker overheard her telling the caller that she was going to leave the state & after she hung up, she explained that it was Michael Jr.  

Michael Sr. & Jeannette Slover were high school sweethearts who met in St. Louis & got married right after high school in 1966. After they settled in Mt. Zion, a tiny village just south of Decatur, Jeannette stayed home to raise their two children while Michael worked at Clinton Power Plant & also owned Miracle Motors, a used car lot on Route 121, a few minutes from home. 

Although they provided interviews with investigators & discussed their whereabouts on that Friday night, apart from each other’s corroboration, their alibis couldn’t be confirmed. Michael Sr. indicated that he’d gone to his used-car lot after work & then came back home to watch TV. 

They claimed to have last seen Karyn at 5:45 pm one day before she vanished when they met at McDonald’s to exchange Kolten. Although Karyn normally picked Kolten up sometime between 5-6 pm, Jeannette claimed that it wasn’t uncommon for her to be late.

Investigators began to believe that after Karyn threatened to leave the state & take Kolten with her, Michael Jr. called his parents. Fearing they would no longer be able to see their grandson, they came up with a plan to kill Karyn when she arrived to pick her son up.  

While the Slover home was being searched, Detective Mike Mannix noticed their two dogs. He immediately thought about the dog hair that was attached to the duct tape on the bags that held Karyn’s remains. When they took samples of the fur, it just so happened that a detective in another state was examining evidence from a dog in a murder case, the first criminal case using DNA analysis of a dog.

Detective Kevin O’Keefe was in the process of investigating the murders of a couple who were shot along with their dog in Seattle. After identifying two suspects, he believed that blood on the clothing of one of them had come from the dog. He contacted Dr. Joy Halverson, a veterinarian geneticist, who verified pedigrees for the American Kennel Club. For the Seattle case, she agreed to run a DNA test which definitively matched the blood on the suspect to that of the dog. Although the analysis ended up being thrown out during the appeals process, both suspects were convicted. 

Dr. Halverson agreed to test the samples taken from the Slover’s dogs in comparison to what was attached to the duct tape on the bag that contained Karyn’s head. Only one of the strands had enough DNA for an analysis, but it proved to be a match, meaning, at least one of the dogs from the Slover home was the source of the dog hair on the duct tape.

The task force was convinced that the Slovers were responsible for Karyn’s murder, but with three suspects between Michael Sr., Jeannette & Michael Jr., it was unclear who actually pulled the trigger. They also had no murder weapon or the possible chain saw that was utilized in the dismemberment. However, they felt confident that they could prove that the crime took place at Miracle Motors & that between the murder, dismemberment & staging of the car, all three had likely played some role. 

For two days, prosecutors presented their evidence to a grand jury which resulted in the indictment & arrest of a then 29-year-old Michael Slover Jr. as well as both of his parents, 53-year-old Michael Sr. & 52-year-old Jeannette on January 27, 2000. They were each charged with first-degree murder while both Michaels were also charged with attempting to conceal a crime.

Michael Sr. & Jeannette were arrested in their home that was surrounded by a SWAT team who transported them to Macon County jail while Michael Jr. was arrested in Tennessee. The prosecution believed that the murder involved all three suspects; while Michael Jr. spent the day establishing a clear alibi, his parents handled the murder & the staging of the car. The dismemberment could have involved any or all three. 

(Michael Slover Jr.)

Macon County State’s attorney, Larry Fichter, indicated that the evidence against the Slovers was mountainous, but wouldn’t confirm if they planned to seek the death penalty. 

The trial began in April 2002, nearly five & a half years after Karyn had been murdered. The request to move the trial out of Macon County had been denied by Judge John K. Greanias. There was great difficulty selecting a jury as when a sociologist surveyed 181 eligible jurors, more than 91% indicated that they had read and/or heard about the case in the media. 

The prosecution presented evidence to suggest that Karyn had been planning to leave Illinois with Kolten to start a new life following her divorce from Michael Jr. Fearful of losing contact & custody of Kolten, the Slovers lured Karyn to the car lot, shot her, dismembered her there, causing the buttons from her blouse & her jeans to fall to the ground. 

They utilized cement & cinders from their lot to weigh the bags down that contained her remains. While they taped them closed, their dog’s hairs attached to it before dumping the bags 40 miles away in Lake Shelbyville & staging her car along the highway.

Prosecutors claimed that there was evidence that the Slovers had been trying to prevent Karyn’s parents, Larry & Donna Hearn, from having any visitation rights with Kolten after her murder. After Karyn’s death, Mary Slover had adopted him & moved him out to Tennessee with Michael Jr. without notifying them.

Defense attorney Vigneri searched the internet for button collectors & those who were experts in buttons. He hoped to find someone to testify that the button found in the lot of Miracle Motors that was believed to be a match to jeans Karyn was wearing when she vanished was very common & couldn’t be definitively tied to the case. While the prosecution claimed that only 10,000 pairs of jeans with this particular button had been manufactured, he would claim that over 200,000 had been made.

Although Michael Jr. had been working on the Friday of Karen’s murder, he called his parents twelve times that weekend & investigators were certain that he was involved in planning the murder & the cover-up. They theorized that his sister Mary had watched Kolten while her parents disposed of Karyn’s remains.

Co-workers of Mary Slover testified that she’d made statements that she wished Karyn would die because she felt she was an unfit mother. According to the Pantagraph, she even admitted to a grand jury that she hoped skin cancer would eat her face off. During their marriage, Michael Jr. had also allegedly threatened that if she ever left him, she would never see their son again.

Michael Slover Sr. had been able to describe his collection of firearms in great detail minus the .22-caliber handgun that matched the caliber of bullet used in the murder. 

Based on Kolten’s sessions with a psychiatrist, prosecutors believe that the young boy had been in the building where his mother’s body was dismembered while the dismemberment was happening. Although he had been too young to understand, it had deeply affected him.

Meanwhile, defense attorney Joe Vigneri argued that neither the cinders nor the dog hairs could prove that they were guilty of Karyn’s murder. He went on to say that no murder weapon had been found, there were no eye witnesses to any portion of the crime & no DNA or blood evidence could place Karyn in the car lot. They also couldn’t find the chainsaw they believed was used to dismember her body nor could they prove which of the trio was involved in what role. 

He argued that during the search of the Miracle Motors lot, there were numerous other items of clothing found, including a Wrangler jeans label & zippers that weren’t tied to the case. Because the Slovers were in the habit of disposing of garments left behind in auctioned cars, burning them in their trash barrel, the buttons & rivets came from their business, not Karyn.

The fingerprint found on the bridge over Shelbyville was determined not to be a match to the Slovers nor were the two fingerprints found on the interior of the front passenger door window of David’s car.

Forensic geologist Richard Munroe testified that the mineral content of the concrete at the car lot was consistent with what was used to weigh the bags containing Karyn’s body parts down in the water. He also discussed a piece of concrete at the car lot that had trowel marks on them, markings that are created during the smoothing of concrete, which were similar to those on the concrete found with her body.

The DNA evidence from their dog that was presented by Dr. Joy Halverson was a first for the state of Illinois & only the fifth in the country. The likelihood that the hair had come from another dog was 1 in 56,000 while she concluded that it was highly unlikely that the hair came from any dog other than the one owned by the Slovers.

Defense attorney Vigneri argued that this evidence was not solid science. There was also the idea that the hair could have gotten onto the duct tape after it was transferred from either Karyn or her son since the Slovers cared for him while Karyn was at work. 

He also argued that the button from the shirt or the button from her jeans could have been planted in the car lot while it was unsecured in hopes of framing the Slovers. However, the prosecution argued that someone trying to frame them would have likely made the items far more obvious as they only came upon them after six months of sifting through the buckets of dirt.

On May 18, 2002, after five weeks of testimony & deliberations, the jury came back with a verdict. They found Michael Sr., Jeannette & Michael Slover Jr. guilty of first-degree murder. 

On June 28, 2002, Jeannette Slover was sentenced to 60 years in prison while Michael Sr. & Michael Jr. received 65 years due to the added charge of concealing a crime.

They all maintained their innocence while Michael Sr. made the statement, I just hope someday the truth comes out & that somehow everyone knows that we had nothing to do with this.

During this time, Kolten was 9-years-old, living in Tennessee with Mary Slover. However, after the verdict, he was placed into foster care while proceedings began that October to determine if she could keep him. 

In 2003, a Macon County judge ruled that she was an unfit parent since she may have been involved in concealing evidence of Karyn’s murder. She also hadn’t sought out the appropriate counseling for Kolten in the aftermath of his mother’s brutal murder. She allowed him to have ongoing contact with her family who were convicted as his mother’s killers. She denied any wrongdoing & appealed this decision. 

Although an appeals court determined that there was no evidence to support the accusation that Mary Slover was an unfit parent for Kolten, he remained in the guardianship of Karen’s parents.

The Slovers appealed their convictions, arguing prejudicial pretrial publicity as well as the admission of testimony during the trial alleging spousal abuse, but in July 2005, this was denied.

Fast forward to more than 20 years later, in February 2024, the Illinois Innocence Project (IIP) filed a petition with the Macon County court detailing extensive evidence that supported the Slover’s innocence. This included DNA that could exclude them. 

The IIP is alleging that they were convicted using junk science, referring to the buttons, rivets, dog hair DNA, grass, cinders & concrete. Forensic testing done between 2014 & 2024  revealed three separate DNA profiles, two of which were found on the duct tape used to seal the bags containing Karyn’s remains as well as one on fingerprints found next to Karyn’s blood located on the Lake Shelbyville bridge. Two of these profiles were female while one was male. 

They argued that potential material found under Karyn’s fingernails was never collected or analyzed & that law enforcement mishandled crucial pieces of evidence, including not labeling what body parts were found in which bag. An officer also manually turned the key found in the ignition of David’s abandoned car, potentially destroying evidence. 

The IIP requested that the Illinois State Police (ISP) submit these DNA profiles into CODIS in hopes of identifying the true killer, but they have declined to do so for several years, arguing potential contamination in the aftermath of the trial, questioning how evidence had been stored after the conclusion of the trial. 

In the meantime, Michael Slover Jr. was released on parole in March 2024 after serving 22 years of his 65 year sentence as crimes committed before 1998 were under the old system with parole eligibility. By 1998, two years after Karyn’s murder, Illinois fully implemented what is known as truth-in-sentencing rules where murderers have to serve 100% of their sentences. 

Michael Slover Sr. died at 75-years-old in prison on June 24, 2022 & wife, Jeannette Slover, died at 77-years-old on January 8, 2025 before she could be paroled.

On March 13, 2026, Judge Rodney Forbes ruled that the three DNA profiles connected to Karyn’s case are suitable to be submitted to the State Data Index System as well as CODIS.

In 1996, Karyn had been a 23-year-old woman who was trying to move forward in life, raising her son in the aftermath of her divorce. When she left work on that Friday in September, she was heading out to pick up her son & run some errands. However, she never made it & her life ended in unimaginable violence. 

Although Michael Slover Jr. has since been released from prison while his parents died behind bars, Karyn’s case is back in the spotlight. DNA connected to her case will be entered into the CODIS database to determine if others were responsible for her death rather than the Slovers.
