There is a swimming pool in Sacramento California that most people have never heard of. It sits in the middle of an old apartment complex on Bell Street. Nothing special about it. Just a small pool surrounded by concrete with apartment units facing it on both sides. Apartment 17 on one side, apartment 23 on the other.
From apartment 23, you could see directly into the windows of apartment 17. Every light that turned on, every shadow that moved behind the curtains, every time someone came home, and every time someone left, the person in apartment 23 knew exactly what he could see. The young woman in apartment 17 had no idea he was watching.
Her name was Nancy Marie Benalek, and on the night of October 25th, 1970, she went to sleep believing tomorrow would be just another Monday. She had no reason to think otherwise. She was 28 years old, deeply in love, and exactly 33 days away from her wedding. She never woke up. Before we go to that night, you need to know who Nancy actually was.
Not the name in the police file, the real person. Nancy was born on June 13th, 1942 in Grass Valley, California. A small, quiet town tucked into the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Old gold rush country. Pine trees, rivers, and streets where everyone knew your name. She grew up there, played softball, was a song leader at school.
And she had this quality about her that people remembered long after they met her. She was the one who held everything together while everyone else was figuring themselves out. When she and her sister Linda lived together as young women, their whole friend group called Nancy Ma. She was the oldest, the responsible one, the one who kept the chaos from getting out of hand.
But underneath that reliability was someone who was genuinely fun to be around. Her brother-in-law Tom described her simply. He said they watched Perry Mason together every week. He said she was into reading, loved being active, and that they played tennis regularly. Then he paused and added, “She beat him every single time, every time.
” He would let him return one shot every now and then, just to be kind. And her sister Linda laughed, remembering how Nancy, despite being a slight woman, had the appetite of someone twice her size. She could sit down and finish a pile of Jim Boy’s tacos like it was nothing. These are small details, but they are the details that make a person real. And Nancy was very real.
After high school, Nancy’s life took turns that showed she had real courage. She went to beauty school, worked as a hair stylist for a while in Grass Valley. And then, at some point, she made a decision that took nerve. She packed up and went to Hawaii with a friend, worked there as a hair stylist, built a life far from the small mountain town she grew up in.
But California eventually pulled her back. He returned, moved in with Linda, and enrolled in stenography school in Sacramento. She was training to become a court reporter. Precise, focused, detail-oriented, it fit her perfectly. By 1970, she had been doing the job for 4 years. The last 6 months at the Sacramento County Juvenile Court.
She lived alone in a second-floor apartment. She had her independence, her career, her cat, and she had Ferris. Ferris Salani was Sacramento County’s Chief Assistant Public Defender, a man who spent his career fighting for people who had no one else in their corner. He was the kind of person who gave blood every single time the law allowed him to, not because anyone asked, but because that is just who he was.
He and Nancy had announced their engagement in August of 1970. The wedding was set for November 28th, 1970, 33 days away. She had built this life piece by piece, from a small town in the mountains, through beauty school, through Hawaii, through Sacramento, and it was finally coming together into something complete, a career she was proud of, a man she loved, a future that felt real and close enough to touch.
33 days. October 25th, 1970 was a Sunday. Nancy and Ferris spent the evening at his brother’s home for dinner. Afterwards, they came back to her apartment on Bell Street. They spent time together the way a couple does when they are a month away from getting married. Easy, comfortable, looking forward to something.
At 11:30 at night, Ferris said goodbye. He later told investigators that when he left, Nancy was already in bed, tired. He had to be at the juvenile court by 9:00 the next morning, and she was never late. The apartment was quiet, and the sliding glass door that opened onto the second-floor balcony was cracked open just slightly.
It was something Nancy always did. Her cat needed to be able to go in and out during the night. A small gap, just enough space. She had done it a hundred times before, and nothing had ever happened. She lived on the second floor. Who was going to climb up there? Ferris walked to his car. He drove home. He had no reason to look back.
Sometime in the hours that followed, a neighbor heard a sound that did not belong in a quiet apartment complex, a sharp, brief scream, like a child’s cry, that cut through the cold October air. The neighbor listened for a moment, then decided it was nothing, and went back to sleep. Nancy’s cat probably slipped through that cracked balcony door several times that night, in and out, the same small opening.
The same quiet route she had left open out of love for a small animal that needed to come and go freely. She had no idea that same opening was all someone else needed. Because that someone had already prepared. Long before he climbed up to that balcony, he had wrapped every single one of his fingers in masking tape. Not gloves, tape.
Each finger, one at a time. A careful, deliberate act that had one purpose, leave no fingerprints behind. This was not a sudden decision. It was not a moment of anger that spiraled out of control. This was planned, and the planning began the moment he realized he could see her window from across the pool. He had watched the lights in her apartment go on and off for weeks.
He had watched Ferris arrive and leave. He had watched the life of a woman who had absolutely no idea she was being observed. On the night of October 25th, he watched the lights go out one final time. He taped his fingers. He moved toward the balcony. The same door Nancy had left open for her cat.
He gripped it with his taped hands and slid it open just a little wider. And in that moment, the 33-day countdown to Nancy’s wedding came to a silent, tragic end. At the Sacramento County Juvenile Court, 9:00 a.m. came and went. Nancy’s chair was empty. For most people, being a few minutes late means nothing. A slow morning, bad traffic, an alarm ignored, nobody thinks twice.
But Nancy’s coworkers thought twice immediately. Because in four years of working at that courthouse, Nancy had never once arrived late without calling ahead. She was the kind of person who showed up early. The kind of person who, if anything came up, would absolutely let someone know. Her absence that Monday morning did not feel like a late start.
It felt like a door that had been left open to something terrible. By 9:05 a.m., someone tried calling her apartment. No answer. They tried again. Still nothing. The phone rang and rang into a silence on the other side. And that silence was louder than anything else in the room. Linda Cox was at work when the call reached her. Linda was Nancy’s younger sister.
And here is the detail that sharpens everything. Linda and her husband Tom did not live across town. They lived in the same apartment complex on Bell Street, the same building, just a short walk from Nancy’s front door. When Linda heard that Nancy hadn’t shown up and wasn’t answering her phone, something shifted in her gut immediately.
Not worry, something worse than worry. She would later say she had a bad feeling, the kind that doesn’t leave you until you know for certain, one way or the other. He reached out to friends who were also court reporters, people who could physically check the parking lot. They looked. Nancy’s car was still there. She hadn’t gone anywhere.
She was somewhere in that building not answering, with her car sitting exactly where she’d parked it the night before. Linda called Tom. Tom understood immediately what had to happen next. He got in his car and drove to Grass Valley, to Litton Hill, where Nancy’s mother was at work that morning, to tell her in person before the news reached her any other way.
That drive must have felt like the longest of his life. Meanwhile, a man named Jack Moncrief made his way to Nancy’s apartment door. Jack was the son of Joella Moncrief, one of Nancy’s coworkers. Close enough that a phone call asking for help needed no explanation. Jack knocked on Nancy’s door. No answer.
He knocked again and called out her name. Nothing. He went to the apartment manager, Lyndon Anderson, explained what was happening, and Anderson walked back with him to apartment 17. He unlocked the door, then stepped aside. Jack went in alone. What Jack found inside is something he would carry with him forever. The bedroom was cold.
The balcony door was still open, that same small gap Nancy had left for her cat the night before, and the October morning air had been moving through the room for hours. It gave the apartment a stillness that did not belong there. A lived-in space should feel warm. This one felt abandoned, and the room itself was wrong in a way that went beyond the cold.
Nancy was precise, careful, orderly, the kind of person who kept her world arranged the way she kept her court transcripts, everything exactly where it should be. What Jack walked into did not look like Nancy’s apartment anymore. It looked like something had erupted inside it, fast and violent, in the middle of the night when nobody was watching.
Nancy was on the floor of her bedroom. She was gone. When investigators arrived and began processing the scene, they worked to reconstruct exactly what had happened in the hours between 11:30 p.m. and morning. The front door was locked from the inside. No forced entry. No broken windows.
The entry point was the balcony. The killer had climbed up to the second floor balcony from the ground. Investigators noted this required real physical agility, not a spontaneous decision, and entered through the sliding door Nancy had left cracked open for her cat. On the balcony railing and around the sliding door frame, investigators found something small, easy to miss, but once they saw it, it told them everything.
Pieces of masking tape, torn fragments, kind that had been carefully wrapped around someone’s fingers before they touched anything in that apartment. They had come loose during the struggle, ripped off in the chaos of what happened inside that bedroom. But here is what made it even more unsettling.
Despite those tape fragments being found at the scene, not a single usable fingerprint was recovered from that apartment. He had applied that tape so precisely, so completely, that even as pieces tore away in the fight, his fingers never once made contact with the surface. He had thought about fingerprints before he thought about anything else that night.
That kind of preparation does not come from anger. It comes from planning, from sitting somewhere quiet, thinking it through, and deciding in advance that he would leave nothing behind. Then investigators stepped onto the balcony, and they found the blood trail. It started at the top of the balcony railing, right at the point where he had dropped down to escape.
It continued to the sidewalk below. Then it moved along that sidewalk, around the outside of two apartment buildings, all the way across the complex to the parking lot at the far end. There it stopped. He had gotten into a vehicle and driven away into the pre-dawn dark of Sacramento. But here is the detail that changes the entire meaning of that blood trail.
That blood was not Nancy’s. It was his. Nancy had fought back. Chief Deputy Fred Reese, speaking to the Sacramento Bee the very next morning, confirmed it without softening the words. The evidence on Nancy’s hands told a story of incredible bravery. It was clear she had fought back with everything she had, refusing to surrender in those final moments.
She left behind clear evidence of her resistance, the marks of someone who fought for her life until the very last second. She was not a passive victim in those final moments. She was a witness, marking her killer with his own blood. Every trace he left behind, from the balcony to the parking lot, was a direct result of Nancy’s courage.
She ensured that the truth would remain, even when the trail went cold. With her last fighting act, she drew a line from her apartment door all the way to the man who walked away from it. That blood would sit in an evidence freezer for the next 34 years, waiting for a science that didn’t exist yet. In the weeks that followed, investigators moved with real urgency.
They interviewed over 500 people within the first month. Neighbors, co-workers, friends, anyone connected to Nancy or to that building. They also did something that would not be legally permitted today. They went directly to every emergency room in Sacramento County and pulled records of anyone who had come in with cuts or wounds to their hands or arms around the time of the murder.
They tracked down every single person on that list. They interviewed them all. Everyone had an alibi. Dead end after dead end. Every lead that looked promising closed before it opened. Every name that came up had an explanation. The investigation that started with 500 people and an entire city’s attention slowly, painfully narrowed down to nothing. Investigators were not lazy.
They were not careless. They worked this case hard. But the person they were looking for had prepared too well, moved too carefully, and left behind only the one thing he hadn’t planned on, his own blood. And they didn’t yet have the tools to read what it was telling them. Among those 500 people was a young man from the apartment complex itself.
He sat across from investigators. He looked them in the eye. He answered questions calmly. He said he had been home all night. His roommate confirmed it. The investigators wrote it down, thanked him, and moved on. He stood up, walked out to the same parking lot where his blood had dried into the pavement, crossed the complex, and went back to the one place nobody thought to look closely at, across the pool, to apartment 23.
While investigators chased 500 names across Sacramento, the man they were looking for was doing something that should make your skin crawl. He was going about his life. Richard John Davis was 27 years old in October of 1970. No violent criminal record, no history that made anyone look twice. One DUI, that was the full extent of what law enforcement had on him.
To anyone who passed him near that pool, he was just another young man in a Bell Street apartment complex. He had a roommate, he had a routine, he had a face that detectives looked at directly and saw nothing worth holding. And after he sat across from those investigators, answered their questions calmly, and walked away, he stayed.
For four more years, Richard Davis lived in the shadow of his own crime. He walked past that pool every morning. He could see the balcony he had climbed. He could see the sliding door. He could see the window of the apartment where he had ended a life, and he watched it, knowing exactly what he had done there, while everyone around him was still trying to understand what had happened.
Nancy had been given 28 years on this earth. Davis walked away and collected 27 more, the exact same number, before dying in 1997. She got a life, he got two. There is no way to sit with that detail comfortably. Sacramento in 1970 was not a city at peace. Just down the street, a young woman named Judith Ann Hikari, 23 years old, a registered nurse, also engaged to be married, had been abducted from her own apartment parking lot that same year.
Her remains were found months later. Her killer was never identified. To the south, the Zodiac Killer was still active, sending taunting letters to newspapers, claiming victims, and vanishing without a trace. California felt like a place where evil moved freely and law enforcement kept arriving just a moment too late.
Nancy’s case existed inside that climate. A city already overwhelmed, investigators already stretched, resources divided across multiple open cases, and a public that had grown quietly used to the idea that sometimes killers simply walked away clean. The years began to pass. The 1970s became the 1980s. New detectives inherited old files.
The active trail had gone cold. Without a named suspect, without a DNA database, without the ability to say anything more than a blood type, there was simply nowhere left to go. The 1980s became the 1990s. Ferris Salami was still in Sacramento, still working, still carrying a question nobody could answer. He had spent his entire career defending people inside the same courthouse where Nancy had worked.
A man who believed in the law deeply enough to give his life to it. He gave blood every time he was allowed to. He spent decades fighting for justice on behalf of strangers. And the man who shattered his world lived completely under the nose of that same system, undetected, untouched. Ferris never got the name he deserved to hear.
In 2004, forensic science had advanced enough to extract a full DNA profile from the blood drops collected at the crime scene in 1970. After 34 years in an evidence freezer, that blood finally had something to say. The profile went into CODIS, the FBI’s national database of convicted offenders.
If Davis had ever been arrested and convicted of another crime anywhere in the country, the system would find him. The database ran, no match. They tried again through the state’s familial DNA database in 2008, a newer system that could find biological relatives, not just exact matches. If anyone connected to Davis had a criminal record, that search could point investigators in the right direction. Still nothing.
They ran it again, and again, and again. Five separate searches, 17 years of waiting. Each one a moment of genuine hope, and each one returning the same empty answer. The reason was straightforward and infuriating. Richard Davis had never been convicted of a violent crime. He had killed Nancy in 1970 and spent the rest of his life completely invisible to every system built to find people exactly like him.
No record, no flag, no trace. He died on November 2nd, 1997, complications from alcoholism. Age 54, his body was cremated. He took his secret with him. Nancy’s father, Brian, died in 2003, never knowing. Her mother, Elaine, died in 2009, never knowing. On February 2nd, 2014, Ferris Salami died of leukemia. He was 84 years old.
He had spent 44 years as one of Sacramento’s most respected public servants, and he died still carrying the one question his entire career in justice could not answer. Who killed Nancy? Three of the people who loved her most, gone. The question they each carried, unanswered, buried with them.
By 2019, Linda Cox had been waiting for 49 years. You would later admit she had started to believe she might never know, that the name of the man who killed her sister would simply never be spoken out loud, that he had won, not through any lasting cleverness, but through the blind luck of dying before science caught up to him. He was almost right.
But in 2005, a detective named Mickey Links had opened Nancy’s case file for the first time, and in 2019, after retiring from the force, Mickey Links came back, unpaid, as a volunteer, because she had made Linda a promise. She was not finished. Mickey Links was not supposed to still be working this case. She had first picked up Nancy’s file in 2005, worked it for years, ran the DNA through every available system, chased every lead the technology of that era would allow.
In 2010, she retired from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office as a sergeant supervising homicide investigations. Most people at that point would have walked away with a clear conscience. Mickey came back in 2019, no salary, no obligation, as a volunteer because somewhere along the way she had made Linda Cox a promise, and she was not the kind of person who made promises she intended to break.
In 2018, something changed the entire landscape of cold case investigation. Forensic genetic genealogy, the method that had just been used to identify the Golden State Killer after more than 40 years, gave investigators a completely new way to work from a DNA sample. The old approach required a direct match. The suspect’s DNA had to already exist in a criminal database.
If it wasn’t there, the search ended. This new approach was different. It looked for relatives, a distant cousin who had uploaded their DNA to a genealogy website, a second cousin who had done an ancestry test years ago and forgotten about it. Each match added a branch to a growing family tree. The branches were traced backward and forward, cross-referenced with birth records and death certificates until the tree pointed toward a single individual.
Mickey and the Sacramento County Cold Case Team began applying this method to Nancy’s case in November of 2019. What followed was not a dramatic single moment. It was years of quiet grinding work. Building a usable family tree from a blood sample left on a balcony in 1970 meant hundreds of hours in front of screens, tracking names across generations, following branches that led nowhere, backtracking, rebuilding, cross-referencing records that were decades old and sometimes incomplete.
Every relative identified opened three new questions. Every dead end meant starting over from a different angle. Mickey did all of this without a paycheck. She did it because Linda deserved an answer, because Nancy deserved one, and because a name had been sitting somewhere unknown for 49 years, and she intended to find it.
By spring of 2022, the work had narrowed enough to send the DNA sample to a lab for final analysis, and then came the waiting. On June 13th, 2022, Mickey picked up the phone and called Linda Cox. June 13th was Nancy’s birthday. She would have turned 80 years old that day. Mickey didn’t call with news.
She called because this case had stopped being just an investigation a long time ago. She told Linda what day it was. She asked her to pray to Nancy, to ask her for a sign. Ask her to help them finally find what they had been looking for. “I’m going to be doing the same thing,” Mickey told her. Linda would later say that something shifted after that call, that the weight of 52 years felt different in the days that followed.
Tom Cox remembered the moment clearly. He said Mickey told Linda to pray, and then, almost as if something heard them, things started falling into place. Shortly after that birthday, the lab results came back. The DNA pointed to a name, just a first and last name, no middle initial, no date of birth, no immediate confirmation. Richard Davis.
Mickey sat with that name. Then she did something that required no technology at all. She went back to the original 1970 investigation book, the physical case file that detectives had built in the days immediately after Nancy’s murder. She opened it and looked for that name. And there he was, Richard John Davis, apartment 23, Bell Street, listed as a resident of the complex at the time of the murder.
He had been in that file from the very beginning. His name, written by hand by investigators who had looked directly at him, spoken to him, taken down his alibi, and moved on. Here is the part that is very hard to sit with. Davis had been cleared in 1970 for one reason only. His roommate said he was home that night. That was it.
One person’s word. In 1970, there was no way to independently verify that alibi quickly. No surveillance footage, no cell phone data, no digital footprint of any kind. If someone vouched for you, investigators noted it and kept moving. They had 499 other names to get through. Davis knew exactly how that system worked and he used it perfectly.
The roommate said he was home. Investigators wrote it down and moved to the next name and Richard Davis walked away clean. His name recorded in a book that would sit on a shelf for the next 52 years holding the answer nobody knew was there. Mickey contacted Davis’s former roommate. He confirmed the name, confirmed the initials, confirmed it was the same Richard John Davis from apartment 23.
The pieces locked together. But there was a problem. Richard Davis had died on November 2nd, 1997. His body had been cremated. There was nothing left to test directly. The only way to confirm the match was to find someone biologically connected to him. Investigators tracked down Davis’s daughter.
She was in her 50s. She had lived her entire life with no reason to believe her father was anything other than who she had known him to be. The phone call she received rewrote everything. She was, by all accounts, absolutely shocked. She did not want to be part of this. She did not ask for any of it.
The revelation that her father may have committed a brutal murder 52 years ago was not something she had any frame of reference for. But she made a choice. She provided her DNA, not for herself, but because she understood that a family had been waiting longer than she had been alive. That Linda Cox deserved a name. That the right thing, even when it cost something personally, was still the right thing.
That was not a small decision and it deserves to be remembered as an act of genuine moral courage. The lab compared her DNA to the blood drops from 1970. It matched. On July 21st, 2022, 52 years, 8 months, and 26 days after Nancy Marie Benelick went to sleep and never woke up, there was finally a name, Richard John Davis, the man from apartment 23, the one who had been in the case file the whole time.
On August 10th, 2022, Linda Cox walked into a press conference at the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office and sat down next to Mickey Links. Linda was in her 70s now. Tom was beside her. They had been married for decades, built a life together, raised children, watched grandchildren grow, and through all of it, every single year, they had carried this.
The unanswered question that never left the room, no matter how full the room was. Cameras were set up, microphones were arranged. Officials took their places at the front, and for the first time in 52 years, someone was about to say the name out loud. Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert stepped to the podium first.
Before she said anything about the case, she paused and asked the room to understand exactly how much time had passed. Richard Nixon was our president, she said. The Watergate scandal was still 2 years away. The Vietnam War was the center of American politics. Ronald Reagan was not our president. He was the California governor, and 2 days before Nancy’s murder, he was reelected for a second term.
She then added that Sacramento Sheriff at the time of Nancy’s murder, John Misterly, had now been dead for over 40 years. She was not filling time. She was making a point. She wanted everyone in that room, everyone watching, to feel the full weight of what 52 years actually meant, not as a number, as a lived reality. As decades of birthdays and holidays and quiet Sunday mornings that Nancy never had, and that her family spent always aware of the shape of what was missing.
Schubert then said something that has stayed with everyone who heard it. It’s been said that justice can sleep for years and awaken when it is least expected. A miracle is nothing more than dormant justice from another time arriving to compensate those it has cruelly abandoned. She looked at Linda and Tom.
Nancy was never forgotten. It was always at the top of the list. Then came the name Richard John Davis, born March 22nd, 1943, 27 years old at the time of Nancy’s murder, a resident of the same apartment complex, a man with no violent criminal record, one DUI, and a face that gave investigators no reason to look twice in 1970.
He had taped his fingers, climbed a balcony, entered through a door left open for a cat, and walked away. He stayed in that complex for four or five more years after killing Nancy. His former roommate, when contacted by Mickey Links during the investigation, could not remember exactly when they had moved out, but Davis had remained there, walking past that pool, past that balcony, through the same parking lot where his blood had dried into the pavement for years.
He eventually left Sacramento, moved out of state for a period, came back, lived out the rest of his life in the same city where he had committed the crime. He was never arrested, never charged, never sat in a courtroom, never had to answer to anyone for what he had done on the night of October 25th, 1970.
He died on November 2nd, 1997, 54 years old, complications from alcoholism. His body was cremated. He is not remembered as a neighbor or a young man from Bell Street or someone’s roommate. He is remembered as the man who killed Nancy Benallick. That is the only version of his name that history kept.
It is not justice, but it is something. Mickey Links stepped forward to address Nancy’s family directly. He had worked this case for 17 years, first as an active detective, then as a retiree who came back without pay because she had made a promise. She had built family trees from blood drops. She had called Linda on Nancy’s birthday and asked her to pray for a sign.
He had opened a 52-year-old casebook and found a name that had been sitting there the whole time. And now, she stood in front of cameras and said the words that no amount of work could make easy. Due to the fact that Richard Davis is deceased, sadly, there won’t be any form of legal justice. She paused. But Linda and Tom, I hope this brings you, Nancy, and your family some peace.
A letter from Linda Cox was then read aloud to the room. Linda had written it knowing her words would be heard publicly, by strangers, by cameras, by a city that had moved through five decades since her sister’s death. She chose her words carefully. Truthfully, she wrote, “I was almost giving up ever solving Nancy’s case. Then we met Mickey Links.
Mickey said she would never give up, and she didn’t.” And then she wrote the lines that stay with you long after everything else fades. “How many times have my husband, Tom, and I said, ‘Nancy would have loved our ranch, all our animals and land with wide-open spaces.’ We have missed sharing our children and grandchildren and so much more.
That is what murder takes, not just a life on a single night. It takes every moment that comes after, every ranch visit that never happened, every grandchild Nancy never met, every Sunday afternoon that had one person missing from the table permanently, without explanation, for 52 years.
Linda was not just mourning her sister’s death. She was mourning an entire parallel life that never got to exist. Nancy Marie Benelick is buried at Greenwood Memorial Cemetery in Grass Valley, California, the same town where she was born, where she went to school, played softball, bowled at the Gold Bowl, and grew into the woman she became.
The same place she and Ferris had visited on the last happy day of her life, October 25th, 1970, before driving back to Sacramento that evening. She came home in the end. It took 52 years, three failed CODIS searches, a volunteer’s unbreakable promise, and the quiet moral courage of a daughter who never asked to be part of any of this, but the truth came home with her.
Richard Davis took Nancy’s future on a single October night in 1970. He took the wedding. He took the ranch. He took the grandchildren Linda never got to share with her. He took Ferris’s ability to grow old with the person he loved. He took a daughter from her parents, a sister from Linda, a friend from everyone who watched Perry Mason and played tennis and ate tacos on an ordinary afternoon. He took all of that.
And he lived freely for 27 more years, but he did not take her name. He did not take the truth. And he did not take the people who refused to stop looking. Justice in this case did not come with handcuffs or a courtroom. It came with a lab result, a casebook, and a woman who made a phone call on a birthday and asked a dead woman for a sign.
And somewhere, somehow, the answer came back. Before you go, I want to ask you something. Do you think Richard Davis ever felt guilt for what he did? Or do you think he simply moved on? And cases like Nancy’s, where the killer dies before justice can reach them, do they feel like closure to you? Or does something still feel unfinished? Let me know in the comments below.
And if you believe that cold cases should never stop being investigated, no matter how many years have passed, share this video. Nancy’s name deserves to be heard.
