Unsolved Murder Monday: Allean Logan

On September 15, 1999, 36-year-old Allean Logan disappeared from her Washington, DC apartment. Her family became worried when their calls to her went unanswered, so they asked the building manager to check on her. In the apartment, Allean's infant son was alone, strapped in his car seat; there were signs of a struggle but no sign of Allean. Her body was discovered in 2000 near a neighborhood called Barnaby Terrace, but it was not identified as Allean until 2018, when her sisters provided DNA samples. Allean's nephew, Henderson Long, said that Allean had witnessed a murder the day of her disappearance and had talked to detectives right before she vanished. You can find out more on this episode of Intrigued Full Effect:


If you have any information about Allean's death, please call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099 or send a text to 50411. Allean and her family deserve justice.

It'll be free on Amazon through March 16th, and I hope you have as much reading it as I did writing it. I don't usually post about my books on this blog, but Jeffrey Dahmer is a character in Never Trust an Angel, so I thought my fellow true crime buffs might be interested. Here's what it's about: Satan is sure that his overachieving son will run Hell someday, but his wife has a secret that may change everything. Jesus wants to quit his job to start a Christian metal band, and now it's up to God to find a new Messiah...but the person he has in mind doesn't want the job. Will God be able to find a suitable Messiah? Will Christian metal be as terrible as it sounds, or will Jesus take the music business by storm? Will Satan and Angel's relationship survive Angel's betrayal? You'll find answers to these questions a

Book Spotlight: The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy by Elizabeth Kendall

I've been wanting to read Elizabeth Kendall's The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy  for years, so when it was re-released a few months ago, I had to buy it. The book was originally published in 1981, and the updated and expanded 2020 edition includes a new introduction and afterward by Kendall as well as a contribution from her daughter, Molly, who was three years old when her mother began a relationship with Ted. Kendall met Bundy at Seattle's Sandpiper Tavern in October 1969 and embarked on a six-year relationship with him. During their relationship, she became suspicious of him and worried that he might be the man police were looking for in connection with murders in Washington and Utah. She went to the police with her suspicions but felt conflicted and guilty about it, and though the police assured her that Bundy wasn't the man they were looking for, it wasn't enough to quell her fears. The Phantom Prince is a fascinating story about what happens when

Unraveled: The Long Island Serial Killer

Image
I reviewed Billy Jensen's book, Chase Darkness with Me , on the blog back in 2019, and I'm also a fan of the podcast he co-hosts with Paul Holes, Jensen & Holes: The Murder Squad . Now Jensen has a new project, Unraveled: The Long Island Serial Killer , which is available in podcast form and as a special on Discovery+. Unraveled  is described as "a search for answers in one of the biggest murder mysteries in American history," and Jensen and his co-host, Alexis Linkletter, tell the story of an unsolved case involving 11 murdered women and a corrupt police chief. This case is also the subject of the 2020 Netflix film "Lost Girls," and if you liked that, you'll definitely want to check out Unraveled . You can find Unraveled wherever you listen to podcasts or watch it on Discovery+ (which is a great streaming service, by the way...I'm doing a free trial right now, and I'm loving all the true crime and paranormal stuff they have to offer). I high
