Jayne Elizabeth Winship Davis, 24, vanished from Houston, Texas, on April 30, 1993. She was planning to travel about 75 miles to Brenham to pick up her two-year-old son from his grandmother’s home but never arrived. Jayne’s car was broken at the time, and the case file does not say how she intended to make the trip.

Her life before the disappearance included a violent episode in 1991: she separated from her husband, Steven Davis, after their son’s birth, and on Halloween that year Steven assaulted her at gunpoint. He was later convicted of aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to 10 years in prison two months before Jayne disappeared. Despite that history, Jayne continued to allow visits between her son and Steven’s family.

There is ongoing speculation that Jayne was the victim of foul play, including suggestions her body might be buried on property owned by Steven’s mother; searches there have been hindered by legal complications and no definitive evidence has been found. If anyone knew Jayne, her movements on April 30, 1993, or has information about the property mentioned, please come forward.
