Logan Dyjak Welcomed His Grandma Home

Judith Bauer, Logan Dyjak
BELLEVILLE, IL – After neighbors had tried several times to contact 66 year old Judith Bauer and were unsuccessful, they decided to go over and check on her in person. You see, people had plenty of reason to be concerned about Ms. Bauer. She had just returned earlier that evening from a week long stay in the hospital after having suffered a stroke.
What they found when they got there was the bloody body of Ms. Bauer on the second level of her house. She had been stabbed in the neck and strangled.
Police found her grandson, Logan Dyjak walking down the road with a large knife which they believe may have been the murder weapon. Police were familiar with Dyjak and had been called to the house the Sunday before because he had assaulted another family member. Ms. Bauer was still in the hospital at the time. It is believed that he was en route to a family members house to harm them when they caught him. Someone who was unfortunate enough to be related to this violent assmunch dodged a bullet that night.
What kind of man murders his grandmother? 66 is fairly young by today’s standards but having recently had a stroke and going up against a 20 year old man, this woman had no chance. The thought that he was able to carry out this murder on a person who probably loved him through all his faults makes me want to rip his testicles out through his throat.
What kind of motive was there? Police had documented some mental issues in the past, so we may have to settle with “he was plain old bat-shit crazy.†I’d have to agree. Who tries to pull off the Chris Robinson/Hippie Jesus look these days? Crazy or not, I can’t think of one reason that will be good enough to want me to save his sorry ass from the electric chair. Asshole.

Anyone who kills their grandma, who has tried to do her best to help you, should die!!!
I have an old rusty machete out in my shed that I would be more than happy to slice his fucking throat with!

Why are these people allowed to walk around free until they kill someone? We need to return to the old days of residential care for the mentally ill, when they kept you for life if that was what you needed, not just shoved you out the door and wished your family good luck.

i would love to know more about his diagnosis and trips thru the mental health system. ive seen too many people warehoused in the old institutions who went from mild to fuzznuts. but you are right, what can you do when someone is a threat to others and why wasnt he involuntarily committed. either he was poor and didnt qualify for disability or he was smart enough to say what kept him free, i guess. what can you do?

What a fucknut.
If we’re goin demon hunting I’m bringing a nail laden baseball bat, or do you think that’s too nice? Either way… I’ll meet u there Absynthe.
God damn that loser ass motherfucker.

A ‘curb-job’ is too lenient for this piece of shite.

I agree that warehousing people is bad stuff. Mental illness is a tough situation. I think some of the people who lived out their lives in a hospital were better off than those dying on grates in mid-winter on the city sidewalks. And some people in aslyums just needed the structure and support that such a place gave them. With it, they were able to work off the hospital’s property or some other compromise.
There isn’t any good answer. But having had a friend knifed to death by his mentally ill son and having watched the mentally ill lie on the sidewalks and beg for change, I am tired of the solution of the 1980s — give them a handful of meds and a handshake and see how they do in society.

I am a friend of logans, and I’ve never seen any kind of an indication like this. He has always been the most peaceful man I’ve ever met. always a warm heart.And he always welcomed me into his home. I never saw this coming, none of us did. And my heart aches to know that he snapped and entered the world of darkness. I weep because I lost a great friend, and an amazing person.

LUPWNTHE3rd, I’m sorry about your friend.
1:27 am on July 1st, 2008
i agree, wrybread, there has to be something in between – many levels of something, actually.
and LUPWNTHE3rd, i wish you well as you grapple with this event.
both posts indicate how difficult it is to treat mentally illness. did logan snap? lots of illnesses have late onset or late increase. you or i could experience it tomorrow. or did he hide his demons well from mental health assessors, law enforcement, his friends, his grammaw, even himself? most likely a little of both. how much of not knowing by family is denial? how much of not helping was healthcare professionals being duped or just not caring? patients also try very hard not to dissapoint their doctors, so they often minimize their symptoms, or they are afraid of the hospital, or they are tired of the thorazine shuffle. its an unfortunate crapshoot and i don’t know how to fix it and that frustrates me.

lupwnthe3rd-
Who was the family member he was having problems with? Was there some sort of tension in the household before this all happened or did he actually just lose it all of a sudden without warning?

Well Morgan, if this was something y’all knew about (His Multiple Personality Disorder)..why didnt you get help for your?…It seems Lupwn was a friend and didnt know..as he or she stated your brother was always a very peaceful person. I am not asking condescendingly I am curious as I also have a family member who was diagnosed with MPD..because as another user pointed out..sometimes these kinds of Mental Disorders have a late onset..Often with MPD as I understand it, a person has a traumatic event and that sometimes triggers multiple opersonalities inside of them (Ever watched Sibil?)
And I would also like to know if this is a disorder he was actually diagnosed with or that he exhibited behaviors of and non-professionals labelled him themselves. And if he was diagnosed by a professional was it before or after this event with your grandmother occured?
I truly feel sorry for you since not only did you lose a Grandma but also a brother..but the fact of the matter is here on Dreamin’ Demon we dont post these stories so people can feel sorry for the accused, we post them so they can feel sorry for the victims. Whatever the problems your brother may have had, the act that he committed was heinous to say the the least…and Im sure if there were any updates on the trial (such as the fact that he may have been diagnosed with such a disorder, and/or entered a guilty plea) I’m sure you would be able to find and update on here or on the forums..I, myself googled the case and found nothing but the original report.
Good Luck

well sleepinwithangels i can tell you he was bi-polar manic depressent and a scitsofrenic with the MPD. lupwnthe3rd knew my brother before he started going nuts. now see the problem is that you have all these tards posting commets before they even knew what happend like i said before the story you posted was wrong. if you want some more info about the case please dont google it i made sure that nothing will show up besides the stuff that is already out there so please if you want info plz ask me first.

by the way is your name pamela?
7:17 pm on September 21st, 2009
I just…….wow….
11:39 pm on September 21st, 2009
Nope..My name is not Pamela…
and again my question is…was he actually diagnosed by a medical professional? or are people hes associated with diagnosing him…I will say that it is VERY uncommon for people to have a multitude of Mental disorders like that…and although often confused with each othe, almost NEVER are those specific THREE seen in one person..
Which leads me to believe that..although your brother probably had some sort of mental disability..it seems your friends and family are just throwing whatever medical terms you know about at it..
if you do have some kind of evidence proving that a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL has diagnosed him with such things..I would be more apt to believe you..
But all Mental Disorders aside..your brother is one sick fuck for what he did..and deserves to be punished as so..
Whatever names he is called on here…he deserves that and much worse
and anyone who sat around knowing of all the problems , mentally and otherwise, that he had..and did nothing to help him and therefore prevent this tragedy, are complacent fools, who are no better than the person who did the crime in the first place

No matter how often I see it, I can never understand people standing up for one family member who killed another.
Where’s the anger over the loss of your Grandmother? Where’s the outrage that your brother, who you claim was dangerous, wasn’t being treated or wasnt taking his meds?
Anyone who knew he had such a volatile personality and did nothing to get him help is just as guilty as the person with the knife.

my mother kept some old medical records incase, he was diagnosed by Dr. laura bird. in maryville IL with all (antisocial, borderline, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, narcissistic, avoidant, paraniod, schizoid, and schizotypal personality disorders.) which ment HE HAS MPD!!!!!! now do you belive me i dont lie. now the confusing part about bipolar and manic depressent is this people with bipolar disorder have had at least one fully manic episode with periods of major depression bipolar disorder is refered as manic depression in many case’s. now my brother has delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thinking. all signs of bipolar disorder!!!! when he has small episodes he had anger, anxiety, argumentativeness, delusions of persecution or grandeur, and was violent. TaDa!!!!! you were saying about how we knew about this and did nothing. thats bull shit we did all we could do. he wouldnt let us help him because he wanted to help him self he didnt take pills or medication alike. but for a good period of time he studyed herbal meds. and most of the time they worked every day at the same time he drank a few cups of herbal tea and he was fine. like nothing was wrong. the reason he did like pills percribed by a doctor, is because what they did to me as i was growing up. i was percribed Methylphenidate most of my life, and everytime i took it i was miserable. then they switched me to methylphenidate HCl. then bupropion which almost made me kill myself. so after seeing that he didnt trust medical professionals anymore. he constantly had plant seeds delivered from africa, peru, etc… just for the certian chemicals to help himself. no one knew he’d go so far iam just happy hes in the place where hes getting the help he needs. and as for you adorkable you dont understand why iam defending him so untill you do shut up.

You have listed personality disorders, which are not mental illnesses, nor can they be treated or cured with medication or therapy.
These differ greatly from bi-polar, schizophrenia, and depression, which can be of physiological origins, or MPD which is considered to be psychological in nature.
Franky, being diagnosed with nine personality disorders is beyond excessive, IMO, and I would question either the diagnosing Dr.’s qualifications, or the patient’s potential for malingering.

Sounds like some chronic meth addicts i know, even after they stop. A lot of these folk have informed me that if you just tell the state appointed psychiatirst that you are hearing voices, (even though you’re not) youll recieve benefits from social security for life.

Not one of those is a symptom or sign of BiPolar Disorder
these however are:
1) bipolar mania or hypo-mania
euphoria or irritability
excessive talk; racing thoughts
inflated self-esteem
unusual energy; less need for sleep
impulsiveness, a reckless pursuit of gratification (shopping sprees, impetuous travel, more and sometimes promiscuous sex, high-risk business investments, fast driving)
2) bipolar depression/major depression
depressed mood and low self-esteem
low energy levels and apathy
sadness, loneliness, helplessness, guilt
slow speech, fatigue, and poor coordination
insomnia or oversleeping
suicidal thoughts and feelings
poor concentration
lack of interest or pleasure in usual activities
Did you just good Disorders and all these came up?
I now went from having doubt to completely disbelieving you…Youre just pullin stuff out of your ass..and Im done trying to understand WTF ur talkin about…
