Custody Battle Over Sharon Swindle Referred to Arkansas Courts
In a transatlantic custody dispute, Circuit Judge Ninian M. Edwards ordered Sharon Swindle placed in the care of attorney Maurice Cathey and returned to Arkansas for further action. The 4-year-old, born to Valerie Swindle in England, had been seized by sheriff's deputies in Missouri amid legal wrangling involving her American father Gerald Swindle. Edwards delayed visitation by the mother and father, hoping for a stable Christmas for Sharon. The case arose after Sharon was brought to the United States in 1965 without the English mother's knowledge, with Swindle seeking custody and asserting the mother’s unfitness amid a second child claim.
