Reportedly, Dylan Swearingen is a man from Meridian, Mississippi, who used to be a good friend of Christian Andreacchio. While Andreacchio's death was concluded as a suicide by the Meridian Police Department, Swearingen was suspected of being an involved party in his death by Christian's parents, Todd and Rae Andreacchio.

Dylan Swearingen was present in Christian's Meridian apartment at the time of the unfortunate incident. He was also one of the two individuals who found the victim's dead body and informed the police about it.

While the death was ruled as a suicide case by authorities after just a 45-minute-long investigation, the parents of the victim were quite dissatisfied and did not believe suicide to be the cause of their son's death.

Todd and Rae highlighted the fact that Dylan Swearingen was there in the house when the incident took place. They also pointed out that Dylan picked up the victim from his workstation right before the incident and also that he had called him numerous times the day before the murder.

Reportedly, in 2017, the 2014 terrifying case of Christian Andreacchio’s sad demise was presented in front of a grand jury. However, the jury refused to accuse or charge Dylan with Andreacchio’s death. Dylan Swearingen remains innocent to date until proven guilty, for all practical and legal purposes.
