Jean Davis, aged 54, was found dead on December 20, 2009, in the backyard of her residence on Dennis Church Road in Gambier, Ohio. Authorities were called to the scene around 10:54 AM that day, where they discovered that she had died from a gunshot wound to the head. The incident was immediately treated as a homicide by the Knox County Sheriff's Office, which has since sought further information to solve the case.
At the scene, detectives also noted that Jean's 2002 tan Chevy Avalanche Z71 truck was missing from the property. The following day, on December 21, the vehicle was located in Newark, Ohio, in nearby Licking County. Despite the discovery of the vehicle, there were few leads, and the case remains unsolved. The Knox County Sheriff's Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have appealed for anyone with additional information regarding the homicide or Jean's vehicle to come forward to aid in their investigation.
The details of Jean's murder are sparse, and no suspect has been publicly identified. The authorities are hopeful that additional information from the community could help to shed light on what happened that day. The case has been classified as an unsolved homicide, and the family of Jean Davis, along with law enforcement, continues to seek justice.
