Spencer Christian Zoler, 49, was shot and killed at a residence on Gum Road near Elkins, West Virginia, on the afternoon of Sunday, November 18, 2018. Deputies found his body on the living room floor after responding to a call; the initial investigation described a violent confrontation and investigators searched for a suspect who fled the scene.

Authorities identified 32-year-old Vanessa Fay Logan as the person sought. Investigators later said evidence suggested a robbery motive and that Zoler, armed with a metal rod, had attempted to rob Logan of cash and controlled substances. Logan was arrested on November 29 in Monongalia County by U.S. Marshals and the Mountain State Fugitive Task Force.

Following the arrest, 32-year-old Christopher Warren Koch of Elkins was charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly helping Logan evade capture, and Christina Arlene Wolford was also indicted on an accessory after the fact charge. Logan’s initial first-degree murder charge was reduced; in February 2020 she pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and awaited sentencing scheduled for April.
