‘Angry’

A friend told Channel 9 that Logan Federico was smart and will be missed.

“I think everyone’s still in shock, including myself,” said her friend, Ashley Alexander. “This is not the way that she was supposed to go. I can’t even think about that. It makes me angry, super angry.”

Alexander said on Tuesday that she was still in shock.

Logan Federico worked at Carolina Steel Sports Bar in Ballantyne and was supposed to show up at work on Saturday but didn’t.

“After a numerous amount of calls and texts, I saw in the caller ID Federico, and I said, ‘Oh, there’s Logan. I just knew it was her calling to tell me she was late for her shift and she was her dad. I just knew immediately something was wrong.”

Alexander said she is thinking of her friend’s family.

“I want Logan’s family to know I can’t imagine I know that your heart aches my heart is aching with you guys,” Alexander said.

‘Can’t kill my spirit’

Logan Federico was a 2021 graduate of Marvin Ridge High School and was studying in college to be a teacher.

Her father said in a Monday news conference that he will never lose his love for his daughter.

“You can’t kill my spirit,” said Steven Federico, the victim’s father. “You might be able to kill my body, my physical but you cannot kill my love that my family and friends shared with me, my memories made with my daughter and my family and her friends will never die.”

Dickey faces multiple charges, including murder and burglary.

Dickey is still in the Lexington County jail.
