Four-year-old Daniel Reed Danny Davis disappeared from a Salt Lake City supermarket in the fall of 1981 while shopping with his grandmother. Witnesses placed a boy matching Danny’s description near the gumball machine with a man later identified as Arthur Gary Bishop, who reportedly offered the child candy and then led him out of the store into the parking lot.

A massive search followed, with fliers, a reward, and involvement from local authorities and the FBI, but Danny was not found. Police later learned that Bishop, using the alias Roger Downs and living a short distance from the store, had taken the boy, molested him, and then killed him before burying his body the next day. Bishop confessed to the murders of five boys, led investigators to their graves, and was subsequently tried, convicted, and executed in 1988.

Does anyone have memories of the supermarket or the parking lot from that fall that could add detail to Danny’s last known movements?
