NEW INFORMATION
The girls’ bodies were discovered on property owned by Logan, about 1,400 feet from Logan’s own home.
According to the search warrant, a “large amount of blood was lost by the victims at the crime scene.” Because of this, investigators believe the killer would have gotten blood on their hands or clothing.
It is also believed the murderer took a souvenir from the crime scene, according to the warrant. Also it “appeared the girls’ bodies were moved and staged.”
However, the document did not reveal what was missing but noted that the rest of the girls’ clothes were recovered and there were no signs of a “struggle or fight.”
Law enforcement believes the killer physically removed something from the girls or may have taken photos to “memorialize the crime scene.”
Crime scene investigators also recovered unknown fibers and unidentified hairs.
MYSTERY MAN
Investigators alleged that Logan’s physical build appeared to be similar to that of the man seen in the video.
Women who knew Logan were interviewed, read the document, saying that he had been violent to them in the past. One woman claimed she was frightened of him.
The document read that Logan’s “voice is not inconsistent with that of the person in the video.”
According to the warrant, Logan is also in possession of multiple weapons, including handguns and knives. Authorities already knew of the weapons because of a search conducted at his home as part of a probation violation.
The warrant also revealed that Logan lied about his alibi. The man told authorities that he was picked up by a friend on February 13 between “2pm and 2:30pm” so he could go to an aquarium store.
He spoke to a family member the following morning and instructed them to tell the cops about the trip and to say that he returned home between 5pm and 5:30pm.
Investigators said Logan lied about his alibi, making “statements that were found to be factually false and intentionally designed to deceive” law enforcement, according to the warrant.
Logan’s friend confirmed the trip to police in an interview on March 7 but later claimed that he lied in another interview two days later.
He said he lied because Logan told him to, adding that Logan “had never asked [him] to lie in the past.”
Cell phone tower data also showed that Logan’s phone had been in Delphi in the area near the trail on the afternoon of February 13.

A text message from his phone at 7:56pm on that day indicated that his phone was “likely outside of his residence” and “in the proximity” of the murder scene.
Logan ultimately died in January, having never been named a suspect or faced charges in connection to the teens’ murders.
