SC - Logan Federico, age 22, killed, downtown Columbia USC

[pinamia]

A case that is heavy on my mind lately. The Logan Federico murder. It is very strange her friends did not report her murder. She was discovered dead by police at 11:15 AM. Her death supposedly occurred at around 3 AM. Killer called tow car company for stolen car and used a gun of a neighbor to kill her. Just everything seems off here. Any info would be helpful to understand this bizarre unfortunate tragedy.

COLUMBIA — The father of slain 22-year-old Logan Federico — who was murdered in a downtown Columbia neighborhood while visiting with friends at the University of South Carolina — wants to see his daughter’s case handled by federal prosecutors after he said it was failures of the state court system that contributed to his daughter’s killing.

Steve Federico, of Waxhaw, N.C., said if it hadn’t been for record keeping mistakes and plea deals that led to lighter sentencing, the man accused of murdering his daughter likely would have still been in prison. He certainly should have been, he said.

And Federico wants prosecutors to pursue the death penalty, the only punishment he thinks fits the charges against the accused killer, Alexander Dickey.

“He executed Logan,” he told the SC Daily Gazette on Wednesday. “I want him dead.”

I can’t see anything that would give the Feds jurisdiction here.

The claim for federal court status seems to centre on the use of Logan's CC by the murderer (I have no idea about the legal merits). From the article linked above:

Because Dickey used credit cards he stole from Federico, who lived in North Carolina, and others, as well as stealing a car and a gun, the Federicos think there could be enough to get the case moved to federal court, according to Columbia attorney and former state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, who is representing the family
