Offbeat: Do you like ghost stories????

In 1988, 9 year old South Carolina girl Kia Logan is playing with her sister and a friend at a neighborhood basketball court. Kia takes off on her bike riding a few hundred feet to her mother's apartment when she vanishes. A year and a half later, a child's skull is found in a neighboring town some 35 miles away. It will take years and advancements in DNA technology to identify Kia's skull--her only remains. The case hits a wall until a suspect emerges. Charles Wade Hampton matches witness descriptions of the man who took Kia. He is a known sex offender from Georgia who goes onto admit to multiple child abductions, sexual assaults and even a murder. Trouble is--even with Hampton's confessions, police have trouble linking physical evidence to him. Join us for a tragic case out of South Carolina as we look into Kia's kidnapping and murder and then man likely responsible for the crime.
