Swanson is charged in the stabbings of 53-year-old Jerry Stradtner, 52-year-old Tammy Stradtner and their pregnant 23-year-old daughter.
"It's like something you see on crime shows," Tammy said. "People coming in like that and going crazy, you don't expect that in your house, and we lived there for 23 years and never had we ever felt unsafe."

All three people stabbed were taken to the hospital.
The two women were in stable condition, the man was in critical but stable condition.
Detectives determined Swanson is the victim's neighbor.

Swanson is being held without bond at the Robertson County Detention Facility. He is facing four counts of attempted criminal homicide.
