Summary
Malakia Zali Logan was a regular kid, who spent the evening of May 15th, 1988 playing with friends. Sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 PM, she hopped on her bike and headed home - a distance no greater than 300 yards. Her bike was found overturned by the apartment's office, but she was never seen again.
Throughout the investigation, various leads and suspects would come and go. However, for nearly thirty years, the abduction and murder of "Kia" Logan has gone unsolved.
Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan

| 0:00.0 | On May 15th, 1988, all seemed to be well in the world. |
| 0:19.6 | It was a Sunday in Greenwood, South Carolina, a small town roughly an hour north of Augusta |
| 0:25.3 | Georgia and about an hour and a half west of Columbia, South Carolina. Greenwood is the type of |
| 0:31.2 | town you imagine when you think of rural America, a downtown comprised of brick buildings, |
| 0:37.3 | a railroad track that separates the storefronts from the industrial area, and a large suburban |
| 0:43.0 | population. It's a town of roughly 20,000 people, a population level that hasn't really changed |
| 0:49.6 | in over 30 years. On the northern outskirts of the town is the small county airport, which consists |
| 0:56.4 | of a single elongated runway. Just a couple of blocks from this airport are a number of apartment |
| 1:02.4 | complexes, all of which are a few miles out from downtown Greenwood. On this Sunday afternoon, |
| 1:09.2 | in the middle of May, all seemed to be well and quiet in the world. Friends were celebrating the |
| 1:14.8 | warm weather by swimming in the apartment pools. Kids were playing outside among others their |
| 1:20.0 | age, and families were barbecuing and picnicking in the community areas. An eight-year-old girl that |
| 1:26.4 | lived in this community was out playing with her sister and a friend on their apartment complex's |
| 1:31.3 | basketball court. There were just a few hundred or so yards away from their apartment, where the |
| 1:36.6 | sisters lived with their mother, a middle school teacher. The sun was beginning to set, and this eight |
| 1:42.8 | year-old climbed onto her bike to head back home. Her older sister and friends stayed at the basketball |
| 1:48.6 | court for a little while longer. It wasn't until the sister returned to the apartment complex half |
| 1:54.8 | an hour later that anyone realized this eight-year-old was missing. In between the apartment's basketball |
| 2:01.4 | court and her front door, this little girl had disappeared. Police would find out what happened to |
| 2:08.3 | this little girl over the years, but it would take time, advancements, and DNA technology, |
| 2:13.6 | and the persistence of dedicated investigators. And in that meantime, more terrifying and intriguing |
| 2:20.4 | mysteries would present themselves. This is the story of Malakia Zali Logan. |
