On September 10, 1998, 21-year-old Katherine Esther Logan was found shot three times in the head in her Hampton, Virginia home while she was asleep. The scene was initially staged to look like a home invasion — a bathroom window screen had been cut and a telephone cord slashed — but investigators determined the staging was false.

Police quickly focused on Katherine’s husband, Mark Wesley Bailey. He was arrested the same day after questioning, failed a polygraph, and confessed, saying he killed her because of her alleged infidelity. Prosecutors say the .22-caliber pistol used had been borrowed. Bailey also shot the couple’s two-year-old son, Nathan, as the toddler climbed out of his bed; the child survived.

Bailey’s defense raised manic depression and borderline personality disorder. He was convicted of Katherine’s murder and sentenced to death. The case went through multiple appeals, which did not overturn the sentence. Did anyone in Hampton at the time have information about Katherine, her family, or what happened that night?
