Congresswoman Nancy Mace Urges DOJ To Intervene In Logan Federico Murder Case After SC Attorney General Alan Wilson Jeopardizes Case

(Washington, D.C., October 3, 2025) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace is calling on the U.S. Department of Justice to intervene and prosecute Alexander Dickey for the brutal murder of 22-year-old Logan Federico.

Dickey has been arrested over 40 times in the past decade for violent crimes, including armed robbery and burglary. Following a high-speed chase after fleeing a traffic stop, smoking methamphetamine, and crashing his vehicle in a residential neighborhood, without provocation, Dickey shot Logan at point-blank range. Killing an innocent girl, naked and on her knees. 

Mace cited, under Executive Order 14164, signed by President Trump, the Department of Justice is directed to “pursue the death penalty for all crimes of a severity demanding its use.” Mace argues this case clearly meets the standard and provides sufficient federal jurisdiction, making this crime only punishable by death.

“We are asking for the DOJ to immediately intervene and take over the murder case of Logan Federico,” stated Congresswoman Mace. “The state Attorney General, Alan Wilson, who has never prosecuted a death penalty case, may have just TOTALLY and COMPLETELY JEOPARDIZED the case's standing and the ability for the state to pursue the death penalty. The feds need to step in immediately and take over from Wilson and get this done correctly without prejudice or politicizing this young woman's murder.”

Mace expresses deep concerns about the Fifth Circuit Solicitor Byron Gipson, who has reportedly informed Logan’s family, he will not be pursuing the death penalty. Additionally, Mace and other prosecutors are questioning the handling of the case by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, whose office has politicized the matter, and lack experience prosecuting capital crimes. Furthermore, Wilson’s overall politicizing of this case has severely jeopardized the state’s case and the ability for the state to pursue the death penalty may be completely off the table now because of Wilson’s ineptitude and incompetence.
