25-year-old Loghan Starbuck was last seen on December 18, 2021 in Cheney, Washington.

Her older brother, Blake, told Dateline that Loghan is very driven. “She won't take no for an answer,” he said.

Loghan is on the autism spectrum and currently has a caretaker, but she was adamant about becoming self-sufficient. A few months before she disappeared, Loghan moved into her own apartment in Cheney. “That was one of her longtime goals – was she wanted her own place, she wanted her own apartment,” Blake said. “I helped her move all her stuff in. You know, brought a couch over, gave her a TV. I was kind of with her, just helping her out, getting her situated.”

Captain Nathan Conley of the Cheney Police Department told Dateline “the 17th is listed as one of the dates that somebody last saw Loghan.” Conley added that the police report indicates Loghan was seen at a bus stop in Cheney on December 18. “They determined, I think, that Loghan rode the bus to Spokane,” he said. “I think they were able to determine that through the bus’s surveillance.”

Surprised this case hasn't had more publicity - and more WS input, especially given circumstances.

Agreed. Spokane is so small if she is downtown I would think someone would spot her eventually.

This is the suspension bridge over at Riverfront. The TJ Menach bridge is just up river a ways. I do some volunteering along the river picking up trash and unfortunately people jump off the TJ Menach bridge to end their lives and their bodies are found. I’m not saying that is what happened in this individuals case of course. The area around the TJ Menach bridge also houses homeless encampments.

Loghan's belongings were found on the pedestrian bridge but her body was found under the TJ Menach bridge downstream.
