TEMPLE, Texas — Those who knew Michael Swearingin and Jenna Scott still can't believe they're gone.
Swearingin and Scott were found in shallow graves in Oklahoma on Tuesday. They were last seen on January 4.
Now, their families are preparing their funerals and the police are investigating their murders while their friends grieve.
Swearingin's friends say he was best friends with everyone.
"Even right now, it doesn't feel real to me, it just feels completely surreal," Chris Amonette, a friend of Swearingin's since freshman year of high school, said. "I guess it's pretty cliche for someone to say, 'Oh, he was a great guy,' [but] Michael was legit a great guy."

"Everyone he met was a friend to him. It's almost like no one was just a friend to him, he treated everyone like a best friend," Josh Patton, another friend of Swearingin's from middle school, said. "That's just how friendly he was. And he wasn't shy to be himself."
The fact he was such a good guy is why it is so hard for them to say goodbye.
They're left with only memories and images of a friend gone too soon.
"It's tough when something this tragic and this unexpected happens," Patton said.
"You know, this doesn't happen to normal people," Amonette said.
