Hey everybody welcome back to cold case murder mysteries. I'm your host Ryan Kraus

returning once again to examine a baffling unsolved case. Krause

once again to examine a baffling unsolved case, the disappearance of Logan Shindelman.

On May 16, 2016, the 19-year-old from Tumwater Washington

suddenly disappeared from his family's home, and his car was later found abandoned in the middle of an interstate about five miles away.

Inside the vehicle, officers found small amounts of cash tucked into various places, and observed a collection of snacks in the vehicle as well, as though Logan was taking some type of a trip. Yet nobody is aware of what his destination may have been.

Worse, the police begin to gather eyewitness testimony and soon learn Logan may have had multiple male passengers in his car just prior

to its abandonment. However, no one has ever been able to locate these people if they even exist. Finally, someone else later in the day

calls police with information that she saw a young man walking through her neighborhood fully nude and looking confused, as though

he didn't know where he was or even where he might be going.

When the cops asked her to describe the guy, her words seemed to paint a portrait of Logan.

So if this was him, how did a seemingly normal, athletic, and socially gifted high school student go from making tackles on the

gridiron to disappearing from life. Did he get caught up in drugs? Was their foul play at hand? Why don't we know? Regardless of what truly

happened that day, there hasn't been a single clue uncovered that potentially

renders the whereabouts of Logan Shindelman.

So let's delve into the psychology of the events preceding his disappearance, especially

as some dude has just started a lawnmower behind me.

Now the first thing to understand about a situation like this is that often the end

is in the beginning as they say.

So since this is a disappearance and we don't know the actual end to Logan's

plight, the last thing for which we can account is exactly that. He disappeared. That means we need to garner greater context here. The

distinguishing element of course will be the reason behind why it happened.
