#NGUNNGU

Logan Schiendelman, a 19-year-old from Tumwater, Washington, disappeared on May 20, 2016, under mysterious circumstances. He was last seen by his grandmother, with whom he lived, before leaving the house in his car. Logan’s vehicle, a black Chrysler Sebring, was found abandoned on Interstate 5 near Tumwater with his personal belongings inside, including his wallet, ID, and cell phone, but there were no signs of him. Witnesses reported seeing his car swerving erratically before it came to rest on the highway. There were unconfirmed reports of a man standing near the vehicle and interacting with two other men, though this lead did not develop further.

Despite searches and investigation, Logan’s case remains unsolved. He had recently mentioned feeling uncertain about his future and had distanced himself from some friends, but there was no clear indication of foul play or a reason for him to disappear voluntarily.

James became involved in the case through "Hide and Seek,".
