Logan Federico, 22, takes a break from two jobs and classes at South Piedmont Community College in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to spend a weekend visiting friends who attend USC in Columbia, South Carolina. The aspiring teacher and her friends were returning from a night out just before three a.m. The young men and women quickly disperse to their rooms, planning to sleep late Saturday morning. Unbeknownst to them, a burglar is on the prowl in the quiet neighborhood, rummaging through nearby homes. Most of the neighborhood is home to USC fraternity brothers, and with frequent late-night house parties and each roommate on a different schedule, doors are seldom locked. The burglar gains access to the neighboring home no problem—walking right through one of the doors without a sound to alert anyone of his presence. Just after 11 a.m. Saturday morning, the brothers and their visiting friends are woken with a start—a gunshot just rang out inside their home. The panicked young men and women gather in the living room, but Logan hasn’t come out of the guest room. Her friends burst through the door to check on her and find Logan unconscious, lying in a pool of blood. It appears her belongings have been ransacked. As the friends call 911 to report Logan shot, their next-door neighbor is also calling to report someone stealing his car. Still on the phone, the owner notices a shotgun is also missing from his home. Law enforcement quickly connects the dots and begins the hunt for Logan’s killer. Just a few minutes later numerous purchases are made in Lexington and Saluda County, using Logan’s debit card. Checking cameras from the businesses listed in Logan’s bank records, investigators catch their suspect on video and recognize him immediately as frequent flier Alexander Dickey.

Just after midnight, the calm over the serene Montauk Yacht Club is shattered by the sounds of a man’s anguished scream. Passersby rush to a boat in the marina, where a man is standing over an unconscious woman begging for help. Soon, the marina is filled with the sound of sirens, but the woman isn’t rushed to the hospital—first responders declare the woman dead on the scene. After the East Hampton Town Police and first responders pronounce Martha dead, the county's Homicide Squad arrives on scene around 4am and takes over the investigation. The preliminary investigation and exam were inconclusive regarding the cause of death, and an autopsy was performed by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. The autopsy did not show evidence of violence, and her final cause of death is pending further examination.

Secret documents, including never-before-seen photos of Kohberger's victims, may be made public in the near future. The process for unsealing the records is a lengthy process, and Kohberger's lawyers and the prosecutors will have two weeks to argue whether the items should be released or kept sealed. There are 43 items in the first batch, including photos of each of the deceased victims and a photograph of the six victims together. It is not clear if the pictures were taken before the attacks or after their deaths. The release of documents will not be random, as the judge says he is reviewing items for unsealing by taking the newest ones first and working backwards. Many documents on the first list are motions about what evidence jurors could be shown at trial, including what witnesses should testify and whether Kohberger could put forth his alternate suspect defense. Other records pertain to whether items should be kept confidential or are rulings on what would be sealed. The process is expected to take months, as each batch must be reviewed before release. One of the remaining mysteries is why Kaylee's dog didn't sound an alarm. According to reports, Murphy started acting strangely in the months leading up to Kaylee's murder. Surviving roommate Bethany Funke and Kaylee's ex-boyfriend told similar stories to police about Kaylee seeing a shadowy figure behind the house when she walked Murphy. Murphy started running away from home and would run to the bushes behind the house and not return when called. Some speculate that Kohberger was secretly befriending Murphy so he would not bark when he entered the home.
