On a gray January afternoon in 2008, a bus driver arrived at Beverly Logan's small bungalow in Salina, Kansas, to pick her up for her 2 p.m. shift as a certified nursing assistant. She didn't come out. When her co-workers called to check, the bus driver told them he'd already been there and left. Within an hour, a patrol officer was at her door. It was ajar. Inside, the house was dark, all curtains drawn. In the kitchen, Beverly lay naked on the floor, stabbed 25 times. She was 56 years old, gentle, routine-obsessed, and known for keeping her doors locked. The killer had left no sign of forced entry. The only light on was in the living room.
