Horrific Error Kept Her Murderer Free: Getting Justice for Logan Federico

from The FOX True Crime Podcast w/ Emily Compagno · host Fox Audio Network

During the early hours of May 3rd, 22-year-old Logan Federico was asleep at her home in Columbia, South Carolina, when someone broke in and fatally shot her. Her family was outraged to learn this senseless crime was committed by a man who had almost 40 arrests spanning over a decade. Even worse, new information has come to light showing a fingerprint mishap was likely the reason 30-year-old Alexander Dickey was roaming free to kill instead of being behind bars. Fox News reporter Danamarie Nicholl breaks down the failures made within the criminal justice system that allowed Dickey to walk free. She also shares what Logan's father, Stephen Federico, told her about this injustice and how he's advocating for change, so this won't happen again.
