Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP29553) and 9 other sources
Jayne Elizabeth Winship Davis, a 24-year-old mother, disappeared on April 30, 1993, from Houston, Texas. She was planning to travel to Brenham, about 75 miles away, to pick up her two-year-old son from his grandmother's home, but she never arrived. Jayne's car was broken at the time, and it remains unclear how she intended to make the trip. Despite ongoing searches and investigations, no trace of her has been found since that day.

Jayne's life before her disappearance was marked by turmoil. In 1991, she had separated from her husband, Steven Davis, after giving birth to their son. On Halloween of that same year, Steven assaulted her at gunpoint, which led to his conviction for aggravated sexual assault. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison just two months before Jayne went missing. Despite this, Jayne continued allowing Steven's family to visit their son.

Speculation about foul play surrounds her case, with many suspecting that she may have been murdered. Some have even suggested that her body could be buried on a property owned by Steven's mother. However, searches of the property have been complicated by legal issues, and no definitive evidence has surfaced. Jayne’s family and authorities continue to search for answers regarding her disappearance.
