Logan Federico, 22, takes a break from two jobs and classes at South Piedmont Community College in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to spend a weekend visiting friends who attend USC in Columbia, South Carolina.
The aspiring teacher and her friends were returning from a night out just before three a.m. The young men and women quickly disperse to their rooms, planning to sleep late Saturday morning.
Unbeknownst to them, a burglar is on the prowl in the quiet neighborhood, rummaging through nearby homes. Most of the neighborhood is home to USC fraternity brothers, and with frequent late-night house parties and each roommate on a different schedule, doors are seldom locked.
The burglar gains access to the neighboring home no problem—walking right through one of the doors without a sound to alert anyone of his presence.
Just after 11 a.m. Saturday morning, the brothers and their visiting friends are woken with a start—a gunshot just rang out inside their home.
The panicked young men and women gather in the living room, but Logan hasn’t come out of the guest room. Her friends burst through the door to check on her and find Logan unconscious, lying in a pool of blood. It appears her belongings have been ransacked.
As the friends call 911 to report Logan shot, their next-door neighbor is also calling to report someone stealing his car.
Still on the phone, the owner notices a shotgun is also missing from his home. Law enforcement quickly connects the dots and begins the hunt for Logan’s killer. Just a few minutes later numerous purchases are made in Lexington and Saluda County, using Logan’s debit card.
Checking cameras from the businesses listed in Logan’s bank records, investigators catch their suspect on video and recognize him immediately as frequent flier Alexander Dickey.

At 4:17 a.m., the camera captured audio that seemed to include "what sounded like voices or a whimper followed by a loud thud," according to police reports. A dog began barking continuously around the same time. Nicole Partin reporting.

Just after midnight, the calm over the serene Montauk Yacht Club is shattered by the sounds of a man’s anguished scream. Passersby rush to a boat in the marina, where a man is standing over an unconscious woman begging for help.
Soon, the marina is filled with the sound of sirens, but the woman isn’t rushed to the hospital—first responders declare the woman dead on the scene.
After the East Hampton Town Police and first responders pronounce Martha dead, the county's Homicide Squad arrives on scene around 4am and takes over the investigation. The preliminary investigation and exam were inconclusive regarding the cause of death, and an autopsy was performed by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner.
The autopsy did not show evidence of violence, and her final cause of death is pending further examination.

Idaho Murder Bombshell: Released docs expose Bryan Kohberger's sick fixations with death, a break-in and his creepy past. And, more records could be released, including victim photographs.

Nancy Grace speaks with Danikka Harrell, close friend of Cristen and Clinton Brinks. The couple was stabbed to death while hiking with their children in Devil's Den State Park.

Secret documents, including never-before-seen photos of Kohberger's victims, may be made public in the near future.
The process for unsealing the records is a lengthy process, and Kohberger's lawyers and the prosecutors will have two weeks to argue whether the items should be released or kept sealed. There are 43 items in the first batch, including photos of each of the deceased victims and a photograph of the six victims together. It is not clear if the pictures were taken before the attacks or after their deaths.
The release of documents will not be random, as the judge says he is reviewing items for unsealing by taking the newest ones first and working backwards. Many documents on the first list are motions about what evidence jurors could be shown at trial, including what witnesses should testify and whether Kohberger could put forth his alternate suspect defense.
Other records pertain to whether items should be kept confidential or are rulings on what would be sealed. The process is expected to take months, as each batch must be reviewed before release.
One of the remaining mysteries is why Kaylee's dog didn't sound an alarm. According to reports, Murphy started acting strangely in the months leading up to Kaylee's murder. Surviving roommate Bethany Funke and Kaylee's ex-boyfriend told similar stories to police about Kaylee seeing a shadowy figure behind the house when she walked Murphy.
Murphy started running away from home and would run to the bushes behind the house and not return when called. Some speculate that Kohberger was secretly befriending Murphy so he would not bark when he entered the home.

The public was already skeptical of the DOJ’s claims the footage from the SHU where Jeffrey Epstein was housed “clearly shows” Epstein is the only person who entered his cellblock the night of his death, a mysterious orange blob climbing the steps to L block has eviscerated all trust in their review.
The Inspector General says the movement on the staircase around 10:40 pm is C.O. Tova Noel carrying inmate linens up to the L Block, but video analysis experts say it's more likely the figure was wearing orange, not carrying orange material.
According to independent reviews of the “raw” footage released by the DOJ, the video isn’t “raw” at all. At one point, a computer cursor flies across the screen, indicating the original file is a screen recording, not a DVR export. Metadata also reveals the footage was created from two different clips and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro on May 23 from 4:48 p.m. to 8:16 p.m.
One of those clips was cut down 2 minutes and 53 seconds shorter than its original form, the cut coinciding with the beginning of the “missing minute,” at 11:58:58. When the footage resumes at midnight after the alleged “nightly reset,” the aspect ratio is also slightly different.
The footage released from the MCC offers a limited view of the SHU common area and just a sliver of the staircase to Jeffrey Epstein’s cell block. Off camera, to the right of the staircase, is another entrance into the SHU. The correctional officers on duty report that a second locked door blocks that entrance.
One of those doors is controlled remotely, while the other requires a key kept on the C.O.’s person. However, multiple people are seen entering and exiting while Tova Noel and Michael Thomas are nowhere near the door or not in the unit at all.
While correctional officers admitted that Epstein was allowed to make an unmonitored phone call in the showers before he was returned to his cell at 7:40 p.m., C.O. Tova Noel claimed she left Epstein in the showers alone to use the restroom, and by the time she returned, someone else had already escorted Epstein back to his cell.
However, it appears that Noel remains in the unit during the call and does personally walk Epstein back toward the staircase to cellblock L. Another female staffer left the unit shortly before Noel gave the escort and returned shortly after Epstein was allegedly safely returned to his cell.
Senator Ron Wyden, the Democratic ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, claims there is plenty to investigate from the Epstein files, including thousands of lines of Epstein’s wire transfers. Wyden points out that Epstein had to fund his sex-trafficking ring somehow and says that over the last three years, the Treasury Department has discovered 4,725 wire transfers totaling over a billion dollars flowing through just one of Epstein’s banks.
They also found that Epstein had frequent dealings with a sanctioned Russian bank. Wyden claims the DOJ has financial records for Epstein and calls for them to be released to the SFC for further investigation.

Parents of Andrew McGann's students at schools in Oklahoma and Texas say the 28-year-old suspect was a "sick pervert" and his "behavior was unusual."
There were girls McGann would "tickle" at Donald Elementary School in Flower Mound, Texas. McGann would invite special girls to have lunch in his classroom while other students ate in the cafeteria. One student says McGann told her "he wished she could be his girlfriend."
Parents reported McGann's behavior to Lewisville ISD and Donald Elementary staff. but "everything got swept under the rug."
Parents complaints led to McGann being placed on administrative leave before his resignation letter.
Parent Lindsay Polyak suggests if McGann had been terminated instead of beingt able o resign, the termination would have been on his record and might have raised some red flags for other teaching jobs.
However, since he was allowed to resign, he was hired by at least two other school districts and was getting ready to start the new school year in Arkansas.
McGann taught at Sand Springs until May of this year. Former student Shaelynn Brown says the black backpack shown in a picture was the same bag McGann had while he taught at Sand Springs.
McGann began teaching in the 2022-2023 school year at Donald Elementary School in the Lewisville, Texas, Independent School District. The next school year, 23-24, he taught at Spring Creek Elementary with the Broken Arrow Public Schools, and then for the last school year, fall 24 to spring 25, he taught 5th grade at Spring Creek Elementary in the Sand Springs school district.
For the upcoming school year, he moved schools again, this time to Arkansas, where he was preparing to begin his school year.
