Logan, 22, was a massive Taylor Swift fan and an aspiring teacher
South Carolina congresswoman Nancy Mace has called for the Justice Department to step in to investigate and prosecute the murder of an aspiring teacher.
Logan Haley Federico, 22, an avid Taylor Swift fan, was killed while sleeping in a fraternity house during a visit to her boyfriend at the University of South Carolina on May 3.
Alexander Dickey, 30, a repeat offender with a long criminal rap sheet, was arrested and charged in her slaying.
Prosecutors say Dickey crept into her bedroom, startled Logan awake and forced her to her knees while she was naked and begging for help.
He is accused of shooting her in the chest with a stolen 12-gauge shotgun. Prosecutors say he then fled in a stolen vehicle. He has not entered a plea in the case.
Logan’s father Stephen Federico has demanded Dickey face the death penalty and accused South Carolina prosecutors of not pushing hard enough for the ultimate punishment.
Republican lawmakers have now joined his cause and are urging the Trump administration to take up the case.
Mace told Daily Mail this week that state law enforcement has shown ‘unforgivable weakness’ in handling the investigation.
