His car was found near my house. It's so sad. I've wondered if he wasn't experiencing early symptoms of schizophrenia or some similar form of psychosis. It's such a sad case.

A guy I know had a break with reality and went into the woods with only an overcoat on ,he spent several nights in the woods ,a fisherman in a drift boat saved him.

This is the grandson of a friend’s friend. Such a sad case.

As a long-time follower, it's wild to see you cover a good friend's cousin. By all accounts, a good kid. Apparently, some of his loved ones strongly suspect homicide. For me, the self-isolation and odd behavior seem hard to ignore. Either way: It's sad that Logan didn't get a fighting chance against whatever he was dealing with. Thanks for treating his case with kindness.

My cousin's first break happened 4 years after he was discharged from the service. There were plenty of signs before it happened but people were reluctant to say anything because what if they were wrong? I found him (after searching for days) extremely sunburnt and dehydrated after setting up his new "home" under a pile of driftwood on a beach in Florida. He claimed he was hiding from demons. He received the intensive care he needed and, 25 years later, he's doing well.

Abandon by both parents, moving out of the only safe nest he had with his grandmother...that would have been enough right there.

Dr Grande , I appreciate your insight. My son’s girlfriend was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 4 months ago. She was having auditory and visual hallucinations. What I found most interesting in this video is you described exactly the symptoms she was having before the hallucinations began. She was exhausted, withdrawn, depressed and emotional for several months. After she told me she was hallucinating I convinced her to go to the hospital. She spent a week in patient psychiatric care. They were able to find medication that worked for her. She’s now back and work and doing well. She still is being monitored and goes to her Dr frequently. The knowledge you spread is so valuable. Thank you.

It's terrifying to know that someone so young, handsome, and promising could decline so quickly due to mental illness. This happened to a brilliant friend of mine too (in his case it was early schizophrenia), but fortunately he was found before he could get hurt and he's doing okay now.

Dr. Grande, thank you for all you that you do. You are such a kind human and I just truly appreciate your calm attitude, sprinkled with hands down the funniest wit.

While I do find it to be unlikely that Logan is alive today, one thing Dr. Grande may not know about the area is that, even near the freeway post in those woods, there are several large communities of unhoused people out there. We have large camps, tiny house communities, and more; many of them line the freeway just beyond the tree lines. This is one of those rare cases where the missing person could well be alive and right there near where he went missing.

I've had a few psychotic breaks due to CPTSD and I'm so thankful I had family and friends who helped me get admitted to the ER. I would've absolutely wound up dead otherwise. 💔

I honestly think Logan was developing Schizophrenia. It just makes sense with his behavior before he disappeared and his actions on the road. It's really sad that this may be what happened to him and I think of him wandering around some downtown alone and sleeping on some sidewalk while his family does not know what became of him.

Videos like this about the onset of symptoms in young adults are very helpful for me in communicating with my son, who is in this age group. He manages a diagnosis of bipolar type two very well with good social support and adherence to his medications. Because of his experience he does have a tendency to feel attracted and sympathetic to other young people who are experiencing mental health symptoms. He recently observed some erratic, disorganized behavior in a friend. Rather than feeling confused or upset he was able to observe and address the situation proactively. Without some awareness in young people about what might be going on with their peers it is a very disturbing and alarming thing to encounter in their early adult relationships.

Logan lived in my town. There are still signs up everywhere. Olympia, Wa!

Cannabis use is commonly recognised in the UK as a trigger for the onset of schizophrenia for some people vulnerable to the disease. It constantly amazes me that most Americans seem to be in denial that the widespread usage of this drug causes catastrophic harm to some people's health and leads to other drugs. The United States is a great country that, to me, is blighted by drug use and the crime, health and homelessness issues that drug use causes. It looks from the outside that people have just given up and accepted it as normal.

I am glad Dr. Grande included the data that no family member or friend should be blamed for not noticing the symptoms. I can only imagine the family's state of mind at that time. It is just all so sad, to think of that confused person wandering alone towards a likely tragic conclusion.

"Murder-free marijuana experiences are actually pretty common"...I always find myself chuckling at these little quips he inserts 🤣

This is such a sad case and unfortunately, as you said, it was something impossible to predict. My heart goes out to his family. Thank you, Dr. Grande.❤

Thanks for doing this case. Im from the town over & no one ever talks about Logan.

Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when a Chrysler Sebring Convertible is abandoned like this.

Thank you for continuing to share insight into what a lot of people just dismiss as drugs or laziness. Taking or smoking drugs is usually an attempt to feel normal again. Very sad his family didn't know in time.

Good morning from Nairobi, Kenya..💕

Sounds like 2 more great parents !!I'm so sick of people who DON'T take of their children !!

In that area, there are no police available on the weekend? Crazy.

Even though the things you talk about are usually unfortunate for others, every day I look forward to watching your daily upload and hearing your input on things💞 thank you Dr grande for everything you do

Dr. Grande, this young man just vanished, there were signs up all over town a few years ago. We just kept hoping he would turn up, this is just too sad. Thank you for bringing light to this terrible mystery.

06:34 am in Belgium 🇧🇪 what a treat for a Sunday morning, thanks Dr Grande

This is a sad story. I have to say that in this day and age, it amazes me that the world can still just open up and swallow someone whole.

I think you nailed it, Dr. Grande.

For all we don't know, I know this. Our nation lost a much needed good adult when Logan's mind shifted against him. Wherever he is, alive or deceased, I pray he is comforted by peace.💕 Poor dear young man😞

Drugs and alcohol ruin lives. 🥺

I make the drive from Seattle to Eugene, Oregon all of the time to visit my daughter at University of Oregon. I will always think about Logan when I drive past mile post 92 now. 🙏🏼 I can’t imagine how hard it would be to not know what happened to your loved one. As a parent it’s unimaginable. I honestly don’t know what is worse, knowing what happened and it being a homicide. I tend to agree with you that it was likely schizophrenia. His first experience with an episode. Marijuana became legalized in Washington State in 2012 so I seriously doubt he was having issues with dealers. You can buy it everywhere here. I think there are as many weed stores as there are Starbucks now.

I am multi-racial and it has always been very hard. No one accepts us and don't understand that it's a problem....even my Mexican mother.

I live in Thurston County, the area where this case happened. If the young man met misfortune, his body could have been hidden incredibly quickly and with very little chance of discovery. The understory of vegetation is very dense.

Such a handsome young man. This is so sad. Prayers for the family 🙏🏼

Good afternoon from the other side of the world!

Dr.Grande is churning out that content!! Go ahead!

Good evening Dr Grande, great analysis. I agree with you. Love your dry sense of humor. As always I learn something new from your videos. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Very sad story! What a handsome young man!

Wow another case with a local connection for me! Thanks Dr. Grande.

Good looking kid.

Tragic. I know given the amount of time that has passed since Logan's disappearance, chances are slim that he will be found safely. Still, I hope for the best outcome for his family.

Schizoaffective or Schizophrenia but possibly dual triggers- genetic predisposition plus, 1) Concussions from football and 2) Cannabis edibles. Lots of Cannabis psychosis.

Touching analysis of a precious life. Thank you, Dr Grande. A body/bones have never been found. Granted it is a huge area but still. Maybe some day they will find his remains or hopefully he is living in the homeless community and will be found.

Seems like what was bothering him inside started showing up when his behavior changed in high school --- inverting into himself and shunning his friends. Perhaps at the heart of his problem was not having his father in his life --- at least a strong male influence. Overall, it looks like the drug use was a destabilizer, and without a meaning and purpose based in reality, it has created a mystery that may never be solved. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for your analysis --- it is always thought provoking and insightful and always educational 😀

I feel like some kind of psychosis is definitely a likely cause. Someone who has a precursor to schizophrenia or psychosis and starts to use marijuana or other substances that may induce feelings of paranoia or hallucinations can push them further into a break. I had a couple of clients who had similar situations. In graduate school or post graduate school with a dramatic decline in academic functioning and high use of these types of drugs who capulted into psychosis. It's heartbreaking. I used to always have nightmares from high school until I was about 40 years old, knowing that the onset for psychosis goes down dramatically after that. We have to come up with better ways to help people in these situations before they end up at the devastating results like this. I hope this young man is found, one way or another.

Maybe I'm missing something here.... Either Logan's car looked like it'd hit a median or not. Why was it difficult to confirm or deny that witness statement?

The part where he Said he was driving around till 6am and had an epiphany makes me think of the onset of schizophrenia. That's around the age it happens, they have epiphanies, and it can be induced or triggered by cannabinoids. That's my theory. Could be completely wrong though.

Glad to hear this take on the case. It's one of those I find particularly compelling.

So many stories, so little time. Thank you for presenting so many interesting cases, Grande. ❤

Thank you, Dr. Grande. This was an educational video. I appreciate you.

Also pot was legal then in wash. and retail shops are pretty murder free

Hola, Dr. Grande. You sure are working hard and we appreciate it. Bendiciones 🙏🏽💙

Dear Dr G.I had to watch 2 episodes back to back. I now feel satiated, with my strong appetites for scientific analysis and dry humor temporariily satiated. Cheers and thanks.

Doesn't sound like there was much of an effort made to search for and to find Logan.

I wish the correlation of marijuana use and metal health issues was discussed more. I personally rarely smoke weed unless in a very social situation..concert etc. it makes me very paranoid and manic. Otherwise I don’t have mental health issues…maybe some slight depression. But I do know two people who smoke chronically and have have mental relapse including hospitalization… chicken or the egg?

Poor soul. Very sad for everyone involved.

How can a police station be closed on the weekend?

Thank you for the video Dr. Grande. You once again provided us with so much important information. ❤ Somebody who was very close to me had all of these symptoms and eventually developed schizofrenia. I never took the symptoms seriously, and always attributed the odd behaviour to stress. I had no idea. Everything is under control now but I still blame myself for not noticing the warning signs.

I know this case quite well. His half sister's boyfriend at the time was a drug addict and dirtbag who hated Logan. They started driving his car after he went missing.

The Police were CLOSED???

Always interesting. Thank you Peace 💕🇺🇲

Every single missing person that Dr. Grande covers mentions a theory about them "running away to start a new life", and in none of them (that I can think of), does Dr. Grande think it's a plausible reason for their disappearance. How often does that actually ever happen? It seems super hard to pull off.

Who keeps asking Grande all these questions?

Waiting for you! ❤ the poor kid 😢

I remember this case. Interesting !

Sounds like drugs influenced his decision to take himself out

💔😔💔Great analysis 🧐. I can’t even imagine.

Woke up and first thing I do is grab my phone, HAVE to watch Dr Grande before I do anything else. 😃 Such an insightful, intellectual, knowledgeable, and common sensible person and I love your analysis on each subject you analyze!!! We think you are so wonderful, Dr Grande!! ❤️

I agree with your theory. Pot is a major contributor in crimes & mental issues which people don't realize. Thanks Dr G😊💕💕

The saddest part is that so many people were able to dismiss early signs as just some kind of stress or phase of "going thru" something. How it might have been different if somebody had asked him earlier about his problems. A friend's son was seeing a psychiatrist and MD to deal with what appeared to be anxiety. Ultimately it was brain cancer-diffuse astrocytoma.

Dr. Grande - Interesting & disturbing that there's yet another disappearance of a young man. Similar to Jason Landry in Luling, TX; Bryce Laspisa off Hwy 5 in CA; Rico Omarr Harris in Yolo County CA; and many others who've left behind their vehicles, keys, cellphones, wallets with IDs & bank cards, laptops, backpacks, clothing, etc. It's like they literally evaporate. 👍💜🌵

It would be cool to see a collaboration between Dr. G and Mr. Ballen.

This is by far the BEST analysis of what happened to him to date I’ve seen many videos of his story but this one ☝️ is the highest likely to what actually happened I have seen great job Doc!!!

Da 👑 Dr Grande. Good morning from the French Alps. 💖

I'm not sure about the witness who called the cops a year afterwards reporting they saw an abandoned car. I see a car on the side of the road very often - at least weekly? We drive past, hardly noticed. You couldn't possibly recall seeing a particular car on the side of the road a year ago, and know the date too.

Dear Dr. Grande, I would like to thank you once for your clear pronunciation, which allows me, as a little practiced non-native speaker, to watch your videos without subtitles. This is very rare.

Murder free Marijuana experiences are actually quite common

You rock, Doc!!!!!!

Hello 👋 good Dr. Grande 😀

Poor kid.

Thank you

Hi Dr Grande

So sad! Txs

It is so frightening how human males in particular can appear perfectly normal and then in their teens and twenties drastically change and suffer due to mental health changes and challenges. I praise every person who helps people with mental illness as well as those who seek to educate and destigmatize (sp?) mental illness. Thanks Dr. Grande

There's a lot of problems I feel with the witness statements that haven't really been answered by the investigation. Most striking to me is that if there was other people involved then there should have been some kind of police focus on finding them a bit better or discounting the evidence as being misleading and causing more distractions to what is already quite complicated circumstances. While I'm not personally familiar with that part of the world, if there's some typical facet to that area is a whole lot of tress, hills and and usually some herbaceous ground cover that makes it really hard as hell to find people in- especially if they have been gone for 2-3 days prior to any searches. That lack of response time makes it harder still, if there had been a missing person search in the first 12-24hr you have a chance of people out there whacking bushes and using dogs to find them, but after that its a really exponentially harder scale the longer it goes on and that's for people who want to be found with active search parties. If he's gone running half naked into the area, hiding from other people it really does pose a problem for survival as well, one very cold wet night and some people are just not going to wake up from that. Its a tough one for sure

Good morning, Dr. Grande! Marijuana and probably other drugs again, huh? And as for Logan thinking that people were looking at him through his window, he could have simply closed the drapes. I think that your suggested diagnosis of schizophrenia is probably correct, and the drugs didn't help. I suspect that he finally went off the deep end and ultimately ran off into the woods and eventually died of exposure without any help from anyone else. Thanks for sharing.

Poor tortured soul. RIP.

Poor guy :(

Dr. Grande, would you spend more time on cases in Washington and analyze the death of Otto Zehm at the hands of Spokane police, in 2006? His death was heartbreaking, needless, and criminal. Thank you!

Hey Dr, I know your probably flooded with requests. But would you ever consider covering the killing of Ethan Liming, who was beaten to death at a school opened by the Lebron James foundation, and how the current sentiment in the US could have contributed to his death, and the inaction of his "friends"?

Good Night Dr Grande

Sending Sunshine from Down Under 🇦🇺

Heartbreaking.

Bigfoot encounter? Aliens?

Todd, that "sister's boyfriend living with them" tidbit oddly just dropped in from the blue, didn't it.

I like theory number two.

Dr Todd G rande appreciate your videos Listening🌼 From Mass USA TYVM 🇺🇸 Todd Blessings for everyone( Logan )

Great video. I've seen many people who use Marijuana have physcholist . I wonder if he put an end to his life during a psychotic events. I wonder if he put an end to his life during a psychotic event. Thank you Dr Grande. Excellent analysis and topic

I think you're right about schizophrenia He was the right age for it to develop. They use drugs too. The way he was acting sounds like it.
