Siemsen says Logan had no enemies. "We don't have a motive," Siemsen said. And she enjoyed working as a certified nursing assistant.
"She lived alone. She basically went to work and came home," Siemsen said. That's until January 21st, 2008. The usually prompt Logan didn't show-up to her job. "They called later, said she did not report to work, very unusual, asked for us to go over and do a welfare check," Siemsen said.
Officers drove to the busy 12-hundred block of East Iron. Logan's home sat across the street from a gas station. Officers say her front door wasn't forced open. Inside, the 56-year-old grandma was on the kitchen floor, dead. "She was brutally attacked. It was obvious she was the victim of a brutal attack," Siemsen said.
Siemsen won't say how Logan was killed. But the attack happened around noon. "She was a really good woman," Eugene Westover said.
Westover is Logan's son. He and his sister were living in Florida at the time of their mother's murder. But more than just distance separated Westover and Logan. "We got in a fight. So we weren't talking," Westover said.
Clues in this cold case are limited to a few foggy details. At one point, officers had a description of a "person of interest." They put out a sketch. But he was eliminated as a suspect. Then, family members thought some porcelain dolls were missing from Logan's home. Detectives now believe that information is unreliable.
"We have very few unsolved murders in Salina, and this is one that has really been causing us heartache because we don't know why this happened," Siemsen said.
Nothing was taken from Logan's home. The murderer left behind two-thousand-dollars in a safe. But he or she took any chance away from Westover to make amends with his mother. "I love her and I miss her," Westover said.
