"That was shocking. It was absolutely shocking," he said. "I had a name, but obviously, I didn't get a lot of information. They were still investigating the entire background. They told me he was a professional criminal. We referred him to something else. That's how I felt - that's how I felt. But, yes, shocked him in fact on the street."

Logan has been studying at Central Piedmont Community College and has worked on two jobs at the time of his death. In the summer, while she cared for her neighbors, she aspired to attend a four-year college and become a teacher.

Federico describes her character as "electric...extrovert, personable, infectious."

"A huge heart," he said. “A person who cares closely will do everything he can to make someone feel included and find someone who is excluded and make sure she pulls them in.”
