In the quiet neighborhoods of Northeast Minneapolis, a long and enduring love story came to a sudden and tragic end in the autumn of 2014. Lorraine Jackie Swor, a woman who had celebrated 85 years of life, was found to have died on October 6, 2014. She was not alone in her passing; with her was her husband of 65 years, Robert W. Swor. The couple, both 85, were discovered together in their home, a place that had witnessed the unfolding of their many years of marriage.
The circumstances
surrounding their deaths were not widely publicized, leaving a void of information for a community undoubtedly touched by the loss of a couple who had shared a lifetime. An online memorial mentioned that Lorraine was lost to gun violence, a stark and violent end to a long life. However, details of what precisely transpired within the walls of their Minneapolis home remain scarce in public records.
Despite the mention of a violent end, there is no readily available information from online sources detailing an active investigation into their deaths. There were no public announcements regarding any persons of interest, suspects, or arrests in connection with the deaths of Lorraine and Robert Swor. The narrative of their final moments remains largely unknown, a quiet end to a shared life that has not been followed by public calls for justice or detailed accounts of a criminal inquiry. The story of what happened to the Swors seems to have concluded with their passing, leaving only the memory of their long union.
