Laurie Gwinn, a 42-year-old woman, was reported missing on August 21, 1995, after failing to arrive at her job with the county health department in Kewanee, Illinois. Her body was recovered the next day floating in the Hennepin Canal near Annawan. Forensic examiners recorded severe physical trauma: bruises, torn skin, and injuries consistent with strangulation and blunt-force trauma, and there were signs of sexual assault.

An arrest followed: Arlie Ray Davis was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault, kidnapping, and robbery in connection with Gwinn’s death. He was convicted on all counts and sentenced to death, with additional prison terms imposed for the other offenses; the case then proceeded through multiple appeals and resentencing hearings.

Does anyone have information about Laurie’s movements in Kewanee or the Annawan area in August 1995 that could shed light on what happened?
