Kim Marie Swann was a 21-year-old woman from Florida who was murdered on November 11, 1984. She is named among the victims of Bobby Joe Long, who carried out a series of killings in the Tampa Bay area in the early 1980s and used brutal methods including strangulation, bludgeoning, and throat-slitting. Kim Swann was a young mother; her sister Tammy Kaspi is identified as a family member who survived to witness later developments.

Bobby Joe Long was arrested after an eight-month murder spree following the surviving abduction and testimony of Lisa McVey. Long confessed to the crimes and, according to the record, received 28 life sentences and one death sentence; his execution took place on May 23, 2019, at Florida State Prison in Raiford. Swann’s family said the execution did not bring closure to their loss.
