19-year-old Logan Schiendelman went for a drive early one morning. When he returned home, he told his grandmother, Ginnie, that he had an epiphany about his life. Logan had been floundering for the past year, so Ginnie hoped this meant that he was turning a corner. He had been struggling with his mixed-race identity, and his freshman year at Washington State University had not gone as planned.

Now, he was back in his hometown of Tumwater, Washington, working odd jobs and trying to figure out what his next move was going to be. Ginnie told Logan that they’d discuss his epiphany when she got home from work that evening. But when she returned home, Logan wasn’t there. Over the next few days, a bizarre mystery unfolded, with an abandoned car, possible sightings, and unidentified men. Logan’s case has baffled the community, but there’s one thing his family is certain of: someone out there has answers.
