Brothers break their self-imposed 40 years of silence after sister was murdered by serial killer

For 40 years, John and David Logan, two brothers with careers in the US military, never spoke of their sister, Suzie.Her brutal murder left their parents so grief-stricken that Suzie’s name became forbidden in their home.Suzie’s abduction and murder by serial killer Christopher Wilder created a chasm of unspoken grief between them.

For four decades, they avoided the subject, each bearing his sorrow privately.Their interview with Catching Evil investigators Mark Lewellyn and Andy Byrne mark the first time they have openly discussed their lost sister.“I was also my sister’s protector as a young lad.Until I left to join the US Navy, at age 18.

And the horrors that I discovered, when I went to the funeral home, quite frankly, I just went into a shutdown,” John said.“I couldn’t talk about it.And I think it caused some issues for me over the years not being able to get that out of my system.

I think for the first couple of years, I drank a lot, and it was just, not being able to talk to anyone about the pain or being able to take justice in my own hands with that person.“I mean, when you see her in the coffin, I mean, it was horrific.I just wanted to take that guy out.”Byrne told news.com.au the interview with the two brothers was “the most emotional episode so far” in the true crime podcast series focused on Christopher Wilder, the man believed to have killed two Sydney girls at Wanda Beach 60 years ago.“They are big strong blokes who had long careers in the US military.

So for 40 years these two brothers had never had a conversation and opened up to each other about her.Until we showed up for this interview.”Suzie, a vibrant 21-year-old newlywed, vanished from Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City.Married just nine months, the attractive secretary had driven her husband Brian to work that morning, promising to pick him up later.On her way home, she stopped at the mall, planning to meet a friend about becoming a Tupperware dealer.
